Meme: What I Admire About You

Today feels like a good day for ego-feeding, so here, have a happy meme! Last posted by

Tag your character into a comment. Other characters will then ICly respond with things they admire about your character. Yes, even if the pair of characters are generally antagonistic towards each other, here is the chance to reveal whether there's something positive hidden in there somewhere! (For an example, Jackson might tell Jim he admires his tenacity.) So, character-to-character basis, and positive things. Kind of like an IC anon love meme, yes. Except without the anon part. Now get to it!

AIODTW!

I know I've got a bit of a bias here, but I can't help but think of the reasons why you've become my safe place. The way you listen - to what I say and to what I want to say but never can bring myself to. The fierce loyalty you have for your friends. The fact that it would be so easy for you to do horrible things with your inventions, given your intellect and your skills, but you recognize the slippery slope that your choices can take and just how far removed you are from a conventional mindset and you're actively trying to keep that from happening. Far too many people wouldn't, I think.

And you're warm. You're so, so warm. I think you're teaching me how to be, too.

AIODT the four meetings I have today. *weeps*

Help the flowers are eating me

All in one due to braindead omg

This one blurs, a little, with all those of you who accompanied Eleanor down to Rapture, I'll admit. But that on its own shows a sort of strength and compassion that's exceptionally rare, not just among people your age, but among humanity as a whole. And the fact that we all came out alive, in one piece, is testament to your skills as a healer every bit as much as it speaks to the strengths of each individual who went there.

Almost more important than that, though, is that after it all, nobody would have blamed any single one of us for saying, "It's too much" and walking away, least of all Eleanor. But you didn't. Rapture left its scars, but it didn't destroy friendships. If anything, I watched it strengthen the bonds between all of you in the face of, maybe because of those scars.

Eleanor is so very lucky to have a friend like you. Like all of you, really. I'm glad that she does.

I don't know you well, like I didn't know almost any of those of you who went down to Rapture for Eleanor, but I have to say that I was impressed, almost awestruck, but how fiercely you stood by your friend's side.

You walked into the mouth of Hell for her, and you came out the other end. You saw horrors, and they shook your foundations and left you stumbling, but they only strengthened your resolve. And, at the end of the day, you did so with your integrity intact, and your humanity, and even your compassion -- you came close to doing something you'd regret forever, and you needed coaxing away from that drop, but the fact that you could be coaxed, the fact that you held a life in your hands and ultimately chose to spare it even knowing the horrors and the hurt that Stanley was complicit in, says so, so much about your strength of character, Celia.

There are so few genuinely good people in the world. I can say with absolute certainty and without hesitation that you're one of them.

AIODT STOP FREEZING ALREADY, EXCEL. STOP IT.

I never went out of my way to be nice to you. It's not dislike: It's that your science does things I can only call magic, and you use it in ways I've seen magic used badly. (Hang on, I'm getting to the compliment part, I promise.) And the amazing thing about you is, you answered every question, tolerated every snippy comment, and showed every sign of wanting to use your vast skill to help the rest of us. You never let your sheer competence curdle into arrogance. I don't know if that could be said for most people in your position, and it makes me respect you immensely.

Your attitude toward this place is pretty much perfect, I think. I have to appreciate that tough love, dry humour, mildly annoyed by everything sort of mindset, possibly because it's one that makes so bloody much sense to me.

For all that's there's been between us, for all that has happened to either of us and for all of the reasons both of us could dig up to just walk away at the end of the day and never look back, you have been, and you continue to be, one of those people who I care about most.

I've seen the sort of challenges that you deal with, every moment of your life. I understand just how much you have to fight against the whispers and the pressure and some core component of your own nature. But you're still one of those most compassionate people I've ever met.

I worry about you. Some core part of me will always love you, no matter how many times I'm ripped apart and put back together. And I want, so very badly, to be able to be there to help you keep your way.

If we're talking about Rapture, you were bloody amazing there. It wasn't just your strength -- though you were strong -- or your bravery -- though you were brave. It's that when the moment came to help that little girl, you never gave a second thought to your own safety. All that mattered was Louisa. Without you, she might not have come out of it safe.

Also, you never pulled rank despite being several years older than the rest of us. You were in there to help, not to supervise. I'm not sued to being respected that way, but I like it.

Be yourself and keep your head on your shoulders and to hell with the rest, right?

Look, I have to respect somebody who can come to this place, and find out about the sort of bullshit that Fandom pulls, and be honestly, genuinely bothered by it, and still come out the other end of that news with her head screwed on right and an attitude I can relate to and to hell with the fucking weird, girl, because you are on fire.

Also, props to anyone who'll throw a porn party in a common room just to prove a point, and I'm not just saying that because of the free porn. Most people just wouldn't have the guts to take it to that step. Rock on with your badass self, girl.

You're less insane than most people on the island.

~~Of course we keep coming back to it, so I don;t know what that says about us...~~

AIODTW!

You're my family.

I don't care where the hell you've been (okay, I care, but it doesn't change how I'm going to be a crazy fucking junkyard dog at anybody who says shit about you) or who the hell you killed or whatever. You've been there for me. You can sit down and see the world and know where the hell I'm coming from and be fucking realistic about just how screwed up everything is and you're fucking broken, I get that, but because who the hell wouldn't be?

But I trust you. Like... I know I can. You've proven time and time again that I can. And I get along with plenty of people, sure, but even the truths you left out, I get why you did, and...

I don't know where I'm going with this, man. Maybe, just... you came back, and nobody ever comes back, and you have more reasons than most to not, and I'm so fucking proud of you every time I start to feel like maybe you're learning how to stand up again, and I love you a little - but not like that - and you're so fucking stuck with me no matter what stupid-ass choices I make after grad, okay?
