WTNWEEK 2021 - SADNESS

Sadness is...

Losing an Armstrong.

We were told this was coming. Gotta be well prepared for it right?

Nope.

Even when it finally happens, it hits you like a cannonball. It hurts so bad. Playing Samson, it hurts him more. It is not easy when losing a family. There’s this sense of lost, confusion and there’s this clinging onto hope. Like Samson clinging on to the hope where big brother Henry is still alive. He’s just in the hospital, recovering. Yeah, that’s it. He’s recovering. That’s what Samson is pushing himself to believe in. Going to be a hard one for the guy when he finally embraces it. That means he would need all the help he can get. From the thread I’m in with Kat and Elle, you can feel how much the brothers are trying to maneuver themselves through the pain. They’re trying to be strong and think of what Henry would do or say in this situation. They still have hope but when the news breaks, they will need one another to get through this.

Samson will be relying on his future wife, Delilah, a lot throughout this mourning time. So I cannot wait to play that part out with Ash.

I love having to be involved in the Armstrong family. Through the good and bad, happy and sad; I gotta say, being in this family is really the best experience I’ve ever had rp wise. Because in this family alone, you get to interact with so many wonderful characters. And in this sad period in the family, I cannot wait to see how the others go through this.

Happiness is the life of Sawsan Armstrong. Happiness is her life and connections. It’s the way she tries to act like she doesn’t need anyone but at her very core, her real joy is in people. Happiness is the way she looks forward to seeing her big family together-the cousins who she has looked up to since she was small as much as the aunt and uncle who became her second set of parents when her own died. Happiness is finding the man who compliments her. Despite not believing in the traditional soul mates, she knows she’ll never love another man like Russell Hudes. Happiness is the way that she needs a well rounded life of socializing with friends as well as within the business world. Susie could never be complete with just one person in her life-she craves getting to know everyone. Happiness is in the son she never thought she’d have but can’t live without. Happiness is the way I look forward to writing every new aspect of her life. How she has grown from this reckless party animal to a woman of faith and family as much as enjoyment. It’s how I know no matter what is going in life, I always wake up looking forward to the life of this goddess.

wtn week day three: excitement with @emmatheshibarps and @emcatrps

the thing about this one is it wasn't even the thread that was super exciting (though it was exciting). it was the behind the scenes stuff. it was me, cat, and emma cracking up with each other as we thought of this insane thing. it was us cracking up as we executed out the thread. it was the kind of bond you find in roleplay when you're just vibing with your partners. its the kind of vibe that i've had many times in my seven years on we the north, but this one? it just stood out in the halls of memory for me. nuggate, the thread between eli cooper, isaac rousseau, and sam pilkington (and an honorable appearance by sawyer berlinsky), is something that will live forever in my memory. some of the fallout was incredibly painful and one of the three are no longer in play, but damn if the thread didn't make me incredibly happy while we wrote it together.

WTNWEEK 2021 - PAIN

Pain is...

Reading the stories told.

The fights. The heartbreaks. Lost of loved ones. The reunions. Anything that makes you grip on your chest and go ‘MAH HEART!’

The Writers here at WTN  are undoubtedly the most talented people I’ve known. They are not afraid to push their characters to go through life altering challenges. 

One might yell, “Please no more pain!” but it is this that gives the characters the chance to grow and develop. So kudos to the Writers!

You are truly the best <3

WTNWEEK 2021 - HAPPINESS

Happiness is…

The community.

The WTN Community.

Coming in whether it is on the server or on the site itself, everything about this community gives me all sorts of happiness.

Meeting the people (old and new) Talking. Laughing. Enjoying the memes together. Being happy and sad of plots/ships/pretty much anything being shared or said in this community.

I just wanna say that I love being a part of this community. And I’m never gonna stop loving everyone at WTN.

wtn week day two: pain with @emcatrps

pain was surprisingly easy for me to choose, despite the fact tha here have been a lot of things that have caused me pain and heartache on this site. but when i think about the most painful plot that i've written this year, it has to be isaac rousseau and sam pilkington. isaac and sam are best friends, but they've both been through a lot. and when sam disappeared for a long weekend, it brought back a lot of memories for isaac of his dad's disappearance and death. the two of them were incredibly traumatized beans when they confronted one another, and because of it, they crashed.

writing this with cat? it fucking killed me. the fact that they still aren't back to 100%? fucking killed me. and the pain of a friendship in peril? to me that's so much worse than the pain of almost any romantic relationship in peril.

While in writing it's easy to play out angst but not real pain that can linger. The effects can be felt for months, even years later for characters as well as players. The emotions pour into every word. My favorite thing is to watch the reactions play out in chatting with people or notes in a post. Beyond even events, you can see how people play with the character's emotions in layers. The dimension is what keeps me hooked when reading a thread. The fact I can feel my heart break and at times even cry is just a bonus. I can't even list all the times I've done that.

The way it goes beyond ships is also just....no words. I've seen family pain and friendship fall apart. Some can't even be fixed. To be writing them is a different level I can't even touch. There is a bit pleasure in seeing people's reactions to something painful that was written.

No one does pain like We the North.

wtn week day one: happiness with @emmatheshibarps

it actually took a long time to decide what i wanted to focus on today and in the end, i decided to go for the ship that gives me warm and fuzzy feelings every time i read or write a new post for them. kristen sneed and nixon lovell have been a beautiful ship to write over the past year. they have grown to care deeply about one another. they are incredibly supportive of one another and respect each other so much. they talk about so much and they're mindful of one another's issues from their pasts. they get together most nights and eat dinner. nixon supports kristen's coffee addiction. they're just cute as hell and i adore them more than words can say.he even came out in a blizzard to get her, rode back to his shop with the windows down because she can't be in a car with the windows up, and then set up a tent and food out of camping supplies. no wonder this girl has total heart eyes for him.
