WELL SHIT!!!

It’s been a super long time since I did one of these, mostly because... I don’t know! I get a little tongue tied and I talk to a lot of you on the regular so sending you all love notes seems... weird! But then I remember, who doesn’t want to feel appreciated in a day? Honestly! So I wanted to write out some shout outs to the people who really make my time here as apart of the Riverdale fandom feel super special and worthwhile. And just? In general, a huge thank you to everyone who follows me in general because??? I really appreciate you! And it really means a lot to me that you think to even follow me in the first place, so thank you so freaking much.

Now to the love! In alphabetical order, to make my life simple~

@brassloyalty​ / @girlgeared​ !!! Ems, Ems, Ems!!! I mean okay, let me be fair, I totally wrote you a love note earlier today to the one you sent ME but here I am again. Ems, you’re brilliant, and I’m a lucky little girl (hahahaha, little...) to know you. I didn’t expect to meet someone like you, where we were able to grow our muses together in such a fierce and amazing way, but lucky me, the universe gifted me with your presence! And I couldn’t be more thankful for that fact, and all the things that we’ve been able to explore, the AUs we’ve created, and the sheer amount of writing we’ve done. You really push me to be a better Toni writer, and for that, I’m so happy. As a person, you make me happy. I’m just! Really happy you’re here, so please know you’re presence is one that I look forwards to talking to every day, for all the ups, downs, and sideways moments.

@bubblegumxveil !!! J, like. What can I say? You are? The shit? Like your writing is fucking incredible and I live for what you and Becks come up with? That you’re a bloody genius over here? I mean I could go on... oh, you want me to? Okay, how about I really feel you capture the actual essence of Betty Cooper? Seriously, you are prolific and I’m so happy we get to write together because every single god damned time I’m like, jaw on the floor, excited to reply, can’t wait to get it done... yeah. You’re just amazing at what you do, and even though we don’t talk loads and loads, you really bring something special to this fucking little fandom, you hear me? Brilliant you~~ thanks for seeing me, J. 

@chaosblossomed​ !!! HOW COULD I DO THIS WITHOUT HAVING YOU HERE, my literal Cheryl to my Toni, my god damn Choni ship co-queen. I’m really like, feeling lame for repeating, ‘I’m so thankful!!!’ but I really am, you’re such a good person, Steph, and you really are an amazing Cheryl. Like I feel so spoiled, and so GOD DAMNED LUCKY that you wanted to get off on this whole ship adventure with me when I know it was like a whole, ooooooh, it’s so early though... but man, did we ever make that 6 months WORK for us. You’re such a dear friend, and I couldn’t imagine not having you around. I so so so appreciate you, and I cannot wait to meet you in person, because I want to show you around everywhere here in Toronto!! And please know. Through thick and thin, you fucking matter, Steph. You do. You’re more than just a Cheryl RPer. You’re more than an RPer period. You’re just... a great person. And you should know that.

@cockrch​ !!! Sammie, you are. The most positive and good person out there. Seriously. Your excitement, your charm, you may not realize it, but you make me smile all the time with the sheer will of your personality. You. Are. Sensational. Like actually, truly, deeply so. If I could say that there was one person out there in the world who deserved more than they got, it’s you. And... there’s no words for the thanks I have for you letting me in. To the good stuff, the bad stuff... I want you to know you’re supported and loved at every step, and you give me that avenue to cheer for you and let you know. Did I mention you’re also a fucking writing dream???

@evcryhcrd​ !!! I’m really happy you’re here. I know you’re always worrying and wondering, but your presence really is a gift to us all. Maybe saying this won’t make you feel it right away, and that’s okay. But I want you to know that I love writing with you, and that having you around has made my time RPing a little bit brighter while you’ve been here. I think you write so well and put so much effort into the things you do, AND IT REALLY SHOWS..!!! So please know that someone out there notices all that attention and detail you pour into what you’ve done, and believes in you all the god damned way.

@goodnessfilled​ !!! Now oh my god, ask anybody, and they’ll tell you I don’t have a lot of love for Archie. But wow, do you ever write him? So well? Like layered and complex and amazing, with great explanations and headcanons to it all. I really appreciate seeing how you’ve managed to take what the show has done, and helped to contextualize it and RP it with everyone that you write with. I love it! And writing with you is just so fun? I can’t wait to see how we develop and keep this going, because you are just such a talented and lovely writer. 

@iconicandbeyondreproach !!! C, you’re awesome. Like? You’ve faced so much insane adversity in the year but at the same time, you are such a GOOD PERSON. You are. And the devotion and willingness you’ve put into writing Betty and developing her into someone of your own, it’s fucking incredible. Fuck everyone who sent you hate because oh my word, you have shown them who the fuck is boss. You write her so well, and you’re one of the only Betty’s out there willing to write the good, the bad, the ugly. I love it. You, you understand that complexity that is the human spirit. And I want you to know that yours is a beautiful one.

@interstellalips !!! Man, I’ll be honest, writing with you inspires some insanely good stuff. You’ve been with me since I started Toni, and just? It’s been so fun to see the evolution of this friendship they share and the way that they love and adore each other, and you’re! Just so fucking fun to write with, and I want you to know that your talent is SEEN AND LEAVES ME IN AWE. I just want you around all the time, because you really turn some creative cranks within me, and you seem so bloody lovely. Thank you for adding us, and thank you for being around. 

@kalxidoscopc​ !!! Della Bella, you are a force of positivity and saccharine goodness within this fandom. Thank you so much for doing all you can to bring warmth to all those that enter it, and including everyone you can. The world, work, and life is crazy, but it’s amazing to see what you produce despite it all, because you really are such a talented writer and person. I believe in you and all the dreams you have for yourself, and honestly, I want to see you find all the success in the world with the things that you choose for yourself. Because you deserve a life, as lovely as the one that you give to others with your presence within the world.

@stormedchaos​ / @lastjones !!! LOR, my sweetest Lor. I’m really really excited to meet you in just over a week, legit it’s all I’m thinking about? I’m really glad to have met you, someone I really feel is an equal with all the things you’re doing in your life, and all your awesomeness. I’m a happy girl with you around, and I really do care about you. I want you to know that you’re incredible with all the muses you’ve touched, and all the writing we’re doing. I love all the angles and different takes we have on everything, I appreciate the time you give me when you can, and honestly, I’m so excited to see what the future of our friendship is like. I adore you so much!

@xoruzhiye / @personatvs !!! Oh wow! Like I don’t know where to start with this because we don’t talk much but I want to change that. You honestly write so well. Like? So fucking well. I’m always excited when you reply, I’m always blown away by how much you know your muses, and it’s just so much fun when we get into things. I love how much you appreciate source material and make your girls so fucking badass, but human, I love how you’ve done so much with Bucky and made my ship I hardcore. I can’t wait to see how things unfold for Jefferson and Alice. I just love the worldbuilding? And you, you’re a master at it.

@yourpaljughead​ !!! The best for last? Wink wonk~~~ I’m gonna declare this big and loud, YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND, AND I’LL LOVE YOU FOREVER. I could go off on our many stories or adventures together, but honestly, one of us will end up crying and both of us are ugly criers (uh, that wedding, much?). You are a singular force in life, V. Incredible, beautiful, smart. I’m a lucky person to have you there in my life through all the steps I’ve taken in these last fucking 8 years. And you know what? We have a long life ahead of us, with so much mutual growing and love to share. Okay, I’ll be honest, kind of tearing up, but like? You really are such a great person and I couldn’t ask for a better friend or partner in life to go through the messiness of living with. Just know that I love you, I’m constantly proud of you, and that RP or no, you’re one of the most important people in my life, and always will be.

TO ALL THOSE WHO DESERVE A MENTION !!!

Frankly, you all have incredible, incredible muses. I feel so lucky and blessed to be able to play with all of you, and you all make the experience such a blessed one by having you all on my dash. GENUINELY, let’s do more, let’s talk, let’s plot, let’s do insane things! Let’s fail a fucking bunch and keep on trying to create something amazing. Basically, y’all are art, and I’m just here trying to get in on that.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SWEETHEART!!!

Today’s a hella special day everyone! It’s @brassloyalty‘s birthday, who is an absolute fucking A+++ human being. If you don’t know, now you KNOW! Anyways, it’s been almost 8 months since we met here on Tumblr, and it’s 2 months until we meet in person! Holy shit, this life is so funny, but I’m always really thankful when it delivers people like you into my life. It’s a blessing and I always appreciate your wake up messages and warmth and excitement for life in general, and I’m glad that you’re so close to graduating and that we all get to celebrate that fact together! As you walk into your 20s, and realize how much of your life is laid out before you, I hope you know that on every step of the way, you have friends that love you, will support you, and can hold you up in the good and the bad. That you’re gonna make mistakes! And fuck that shit, because it’s totally okay to mess up and fall down because you’re gonna get back up and all of us will be cheering for you. SO BASICALLY, I like, super love you, and while I know this weekend was the celebration (Tom Ford!!!) and tonight’s more chill, I hope you actually get to have your cake and eat it too ;) my wonderful friend! Happy birthday!

[southsidelover]

Wow? Like seriously, wow. As a new RPer to Tumblr and as a new person to the fandom, I genuinely wasn’t sure what to expect when joining in as Toni Topaz into this amazing little community of indie players. But you guys have all proven to be fucking exceptional human beings and just...!!! Have made this experience so amazing for me. I wanted to kind of do some shout outs to the amazing people out here that I know have been going out of their way to help me out (y’all beautiful/handsome as fuck) as I navigate my way through this interesting place... since this is a thing that you do SO LET ME JUST JUMP ONTO THIS BANDWAGON!!!  (Also there’s no order to this, yadda yadda yadda)

UM, excuse me... @yourpaljughead :: first of all, I love you. I’m blessed to have you as my best friend, and I know I always go off all sappy whenever the occasion calls for it (birthday cards much!?) but it’s never a bad time to remind you of what a fantastic person you are and how lucky I am to have you around, and how like... you’ve brought me over here (/dragged) and have helped me restore so much faith in the things I thought I’d lost. I love you. I’m who I am today because you’re around me. And all our plotting lately!? Holy shit I love it!? I love you~~~ @shcdowdust :: WOW, like you really were one of the first people where I could be like, okay toe touching the pond, how does this shit work... ahhhh, not scary!!! No really, that’s how I see it, you’re like big mom out here doing god’s work and running our lil discord group like a fucking amazing shot caller and I love writing with you, and you’re SUPER, don’t change. @serpentfamily :: Excuse me, where did you come from, you magnificent creature? While I’m like. 100% sure you’re out here looking to break my heart and stuff with all the angsty emotions you’re drawing out, I fucking love every minute of it. I love that we throw all these weird ideas off one another and BAM, there it is, all fucking done and ready and we’re already writing it. It. Is. So. Amazing. For. Me. Seriously. @rolemodcls / @brassloyalty :: I’M HAVING SO MUCH FUN WITH YOU, even if we’re all being SUPER MEAN to each other’s muses and throwing them into nutso situations, it’s amazing development and I love exploring these things. Even when the outcomes are more surprising to the both of us than we expected. DON’T LEAVE ME. @perfectlyimperfxct :: Why are you so obsessed with me~~ kidding, I love love love writing against you, the good, the bad, and the ugly side of our muses really come out around one another. Including the crack. Like fuck you, how many memes am I gonna write with this angry angst, my emotions can only take so much!!! @mattalips / @interstellalips :: First of all, you write like a boss, with so much poetry and emotions and bloody art in it. It’s fantastic, and I feel myself musing up with it. I swear to god that Hara is teaching Toni to be a stray but I kind of like it, I love all the weird dynamics we’re pulling out, and I love that I got to write Toni STABBING A GUY just to save Cheryl. Which is what she deserves. @joneshead :: Canadian babes club alert!!! No seriously, we’re gonna make one, and I fucking am so jazzed when we write and I can’t wait to meet you this December. You’re so crazy fun so far and I’m so so so so glad you joined the group because you make it that much better to be around with. I love the slow write up of it all. @chermaddness / @quaintquandary :: SERPENT CHERYL IS THE SHIT, SHE DESERVES LOVE AND AFFECTION AND SO MUCH GOODNESS, and we’re gonna give it to her because it’s what she should have at this point, and I love you for being so bloody fun to write that all out with, like what the fuck you crazy girl, let’s do everything!? @dudebroreg :: You’re the biggest troll there is, but you’re kind of like, super fantastic at the same time. Talking with you is like??? So fucking fun??? Sorry you live out so far or I’d take you out for a night on the town, I feel like we’d have hella conversation even if I might punch you in the face after. Kidding. Not kidding? You write amazingly by the way, A++++ Some gems right here!! @queenv / @rxvenhairedprincess / @steeledwill / @lastjones / @bombscheryl / @chaosblossomed / @survivorbuiilt / @spiritus-amicus / @osorrow
