OF COURSE I had to pick the creepiest Joker screencap I could find. It wouldn’t be a proper shoutout if I didn’t. I probably should have done of one these when I reached a follower milestone, but then the fireworks would have been overkill for porn bots, I think. This is better. This is legit. I’ve been playing Joker for 5 months now and I can’t believe how much fun I’ve had and how nice everyone has been to me and my interpretation of the Normandy’s pilot. I love him to death and I hope that comes across whenever I write for him. T'is my birthday today and I’m more of a ‘celebrate the people who have made this year awesome for me’ than the 'celebrate MEEE’ type.
SO HERE WE GO. These people have a special place in my heart because I feel like they let me unleash whatever foolishness/angst/bloodlust I have playing this NPC that has become WAAY more than that to a lot of us. They’ve also never asked me to change the way I am and they make me feel like a valuable member of this community. You guys are all amazing. Lemme gush about y’all for a little bit.
@commanderspectre: You’re awesome, no fuss, and you tolerate pretty much EVERYTHING I throw your way. I love your no-nonsense Sarah Shepard so much. I haven’t really seen anyone put as much thought into their Shepard as you have and it makes writing with her even more enjoyable. Thank you for being both my IC and OOC friend.
@cmdrglowstick: Bullshitting buddy of the year. I don’t even know what we’re doing half the time we’re writing together, ALL I KNOW is that I love it. FYI, all the crack threads we do are totally canon, I don’t even care. You’re actually letting me write action shit, which is rare in the MERP community, and I dunno why. But I love it. ALL THE MISSIONS, COMMANDER. Thanks for putting up with me and Joker :P
@eshcp: I think you’re my most long term RPing buddy, but I can’t be sure. I dunno, it feels like we’ve been roleplaying 5eva, to the point that Joker’s weirdly met her entire family already and I feel like we’ve been to baby showers together or something. Was that a dream or real life? — You always give me such great ideas and inspirations for where I want to take Joker and I appreciate that immensely. I pretty much love everything Erin does and thanks for sticking with me this long.
@iinfiltrator: The corniest of all the Geth, I’m not even sure HOW these two seemed to click and begrudgingly get along, but it makes for some of the most enjoyable and hilarious threads I’ve ever been apart of. You play Legion so masterfully well, writing with him never feels like work. Or that I’m putting up with something the character would never do or say. I love that. Pardon the phrase, but it feels organic :P I LOVE YOU AND YOUR LIGHTBULB FACE. Don’t ever leave me.
These peeps right here have enriched my experience in this community GREATLY and I admire so much the work and passion they put into their characters; it makes the overall feel of the community seem… real. Keep on keepin’ on! And NEVER stop being so damn talented.

I’ll just be over here, enjoying my ice cream cake (BECAUSE I’M AN ADULT, GDI), watching all of you guys be amazing. Thank you so much for being apart of what made this year pretty damn great for me. I hope everyone has an incredible December. I know it’s a month that makes a lot of people sad, because it makes people reflective and THAT leads to people judging their accomplishments and themselves really harshly. But I know that everyone’s doing the best they can. The fact that you’re waking up everyday and pushing forward is amazing to me. And I celebrate all the little victories you have throughout the day. Love yourself, take care of yourself, and, seriously, celebrate yourself. You deserve it.
