Celebrating you, THE WRITERS!
The TL;DR of this post is this! I'm temporarily transforming my blog into a hub where people can send affections & praise for me to then send out into the world. Think of me as the switchboard of love, baby! Send in pleasant notes tagged with #GRACE and I'll reroute that love, via graphic, love letter, or IC delivery to the target of your affections.
Oh, hey! I didn't see you there, Internet. It's me, Sifr, your friend*. Come in, pour yourself a drink, stay a while and listen.
End of the year, hey? You've been in the battlements for time now and that's a weight you're gonna carry for days. Trust me, I know.
So, rather than let the clock tick over with all that weight left unbalanced, I figured we could take this month (December! The BEST month, objectively) to throw some light around. That's why I'm instituting the inaugural 'End of The Year RPC Bonus Extravaganza!'
"Now, Sifr, you dozy bitch." I can hear you typing on your loud ass mechanical keyboard. "What is an 'End of the Year RPC Bonus Extravaganza', and can't you find a better name for it so it gets a cute acronym?"
...Okay?! Let's call it #Year's End GRACE then. 'Gathering of Roleplayers Actively Celebrating Everyone'. Catchy, easy to parse, moving on to the way it works then.
Over the course of December, maybe even a little into January, I'm gonna be posting compliments, praise, affections and promos that you (my fellow writers) submit to me for the purpose of sharing some joy.
'These can be anonymous submissions, general submissions about an entire fandom, requests where you ask Me to wax about someone you think needs some love & affection. However you can think to send in some weaponized joy to my inbox (with #GRACE somewhere in the message so I know what time it is) I will find a way to get it out in the public and to the people you love!
I'll make a cute graphic for your message if you want, I'll scream loudly in the tags about my own personal thoughts on the person, I'll have a muse of mine 'deliver' the note to another muse in character to bridge the gap between fact & fiction all for you! I want to make this a celebration!
Non-denominational, no agenda, no stress nor pressure, just sending fucking joy across the series of tubes that comprise Irene Adler's internet.
I'll drop this little invitation in the queue multiple times leading up to the new years. My inbox will always be open for this, please DO NOT HESITATE to send in some love & affection for someone!
Feel free to reblog this if you want to spread the word, or try to find a way to participate yourself. You don't have to be 'following me' to participate or send things in. This isn't about me, I'm just the middleman for these affectionate transactions.
There'll be no limit on how many motes of joy you can send. If you have any notes on formatting or design that you want for the messages, the graphics, or the in character delivery, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! They can be included and tended to with ease!
Think of this as a little 'End of Year Bonus'. It has no monetary value. It's made of pixels and questionable grammar. But its a part of your heart, signed, sealed and delivered to someone who might really need something to hold on to.
I think that's pretty neat, actually.

i think, and this may just be my zekrom bias speaking, that if someone wants to experience the full value of bw's story it's better to play through white first. black has the issue of coming off as very dismissive towards plasma's legitimate and well-founded claims that pokemon abuse DOES occur (and it does! from the kanto games' marowak to bw2's liepard there's instances where it's put in the spotlight, so it certainly does happen)... by assigning the protagonist to truth, it feels pretty evident that n's beliefs are "wrong", and the game just seems to brush any questioning aside.
on the other hand, white giving n the hero of truth role means we're basically forced to think about what that means for the relationship of people and pokemon at large. to translate a point n makes in chargestone cave: if you allow people to coexist with pokemon, even if the majority of trainers treat them well, there will always be someone somewhere out there who abuses or neglects them instead. are we okay with that? should those pokemon still be allowed to suffer, just because what they experience is an outlier to the general rule? while not outright stated, zekrom's association with hope and the strive for the ideal suggests that we don't brush off these facts, but instead take them into consideration, and aim to change the world based off of them... like how in bw2 society in unova puts a lot more emphasis on the bond between people and pokemon, and on pokemon as equals (see: iris's dialogue before entering your team info the hall of fame).
i think black version has its own unique avenues to explore, but on the surface level, it's a much more cut and dry, "no, you're just wrong", type of story that kind of makes you work harder to fit it into bw's overall theming of "the world's not black and white, there's not a singular objective right or wrong perspective."
