State of Me: I should have put my picture of me, Chris Heyerdahl and Amanda Tapping here to make

flareupwithlove green with envy, but I won't. State of me is...not as good as it has been? Without going into too much TMI, my lupus started flaring shortly after I got to Dragon*Con and it's bad enough that I had to go back on immunosuppressants. That, plus job, plus new dietary restrictions for my IC and I am just exhausted. I'm managing to get a round of tags out daily, though, so I'm not doing so poorly as all that.Playing was a little slow at the beginning of the month because of Dragon*Con and I blame that on Allie and Robin Dunne's precious face. I regret nothing.
Jack O'Neill (
has_2ls): I am...struggling with Jack. He has plenty of plot, so I should have tons of reasons to thread him, but since so much of his life revolves around Daniel and Vala and Sam and the former two have disappeared and Callie's been very busy the past few months, I just haven't been able to overcome some slumps in playing. He is trying to adjust to being one of William's parents and doing...decently, I'd guess, but there will be bumps in the road. I would like to thread him with Savannah again, for sure, and with Jack Harkness. Threads I would like: River Tam, Mal Reynolds (V. 2.0!), Sam C., Jack Harkness, Steve McGarrett, Jane Bennet
Jacob Black (
quileutejacob): I had been worried about Jacob in previous months but we just got a wonderful Bella Swan and Manda and I have planned a little mini-plot for Jacob and Belle in the next few months so he's feeling a lot more solid on my roster. It's amazing to see what a difference a canonmate makes because Jacob is louder than he's been in probably six months. XD. Am planning for him to do another cliff diving post sometime soon.Threads I would like: Shari Cooper, Bella Swan, Belle, Alexis Castle, Claire Bennet, Marshall Gregson, Coraline Jones, Billy Kaplan
Princess Zelda (
hylianqueen): Zelda is steady as ever. She's a little more introverted and thinky than my other pups but she has a really good core group of friends and doesn't find it difficult to talk to new people even if she's more of a listener than a talker. She and Alistair continue to be goopy and adorable and they've even talked a little about the differences in courtship on the island from their homelands. I still want to give her an item soonish but I'm torn between Ganondorf's organ, her crown, or the three spiritual stones. Someday, I want to give her the Master Sword but that will probably depress her since it means Link failed (or so she thinks).Threads I would like: Tom Hansen, Alistair, Kate Beckett, Rachel Gatina (it's been ages!), new people, all the new people ever.
Dr. Helen Magnus (
lastof_five): Oh, right, like I'm ever dropping this HBIC and her flawless face. Magnus had a crazy month this month: she lost two close friends and gained two team members. Having Kate show up has been amazing because Magnus has missed her like you wouldn't believe and the Powers Plot thread we're doing with Will, Magnus, Declan and Kate is one of my favorite things I've ever played on TR. Helen did start up working with her internship project last month and I'm hoping she can find more people to place so she feels like she's done something come the end of her Council term.The biggest thing for Magnus is gaining her mortality again and I'm glad that a year ago when I had her act a little nuts when she figured out she was aging was relatively spot on with what happened in canon when she was sick. I would still love for someone to app Henry and I've even resigned myself in the unlikely event someone apped John Druitt (mostly because canon nerfed the ship in last season's finale).
She does want a baby, though, and being around as many young people as she is on a regular basis only makes that even more in the front of her mind. I am so so so psyched for Victorian London Christmas plot too, you have NO IDEA. Magnus has been bouncing in my head ever since it was announced. She will be wearing old fashioned gowns and corsets all month.
Threads I would like: House, Pierrette, Sam Witwicky, Coraline Jones, Hiccup, Kate Freelander, Will Zimmerman, other Council members, Sookie, Ianto, everyone ever.
Gwen Cooper (
ffyddlon): I didn't get to do as much with Gwen in Powers Plot as I wanted but overall I'm very pleased with her interactions this month and last. She has a really strong friendship with Kate Beckett that I want to keep playing with and she's slowly learning about her island past. She did sleep with Aidan but he's off the market now, so I don't think she'll be seeking anyone romantic out any time soon. She misses Rhys more than she ever expected to. I'd like to get her to build some more friendships and learn about her son, of course, which Chase has kept from her.Threads I would like: Chase, House, The Doctor, Ianto, Charlie J, Jack Harkness, Kate Beckett, Richard Castle, Olivia Dunham, Karen, everyone
Jon Snow (
tooktheblack): Jon, oh I love you. I was very nervous when I initially apped him and I finally really branched him out of the comfort zone of just his canonmates this month. I really liked his threads with Lionel Trane and Kurt Hummel and of course, everything with Edmund, Robb and Arya breaks my little heart. All the good tears, though. I really want him to start accepting his place on the island and start making it home; he's planning to give Lionel riding lessons, to start.Threads I would like: Lionel Trane, Marshall Gregson, Kurt Hummel, Noah Puckerman, Arya, Robb, Petyr Baelish, Edmund Pevensie, other young people.
Declan MacRae (
duerespectguv): Declan is a sneaky bastard who was not on my queue and a complete spur of the moment app but I'm very pleased to be playing him at TR. I've been playing him at GYO for several months now but recent Sanctuary canon has developed him some more - especially his relationship with Kate. I love the way these two banter off each other and while Declan hates the island and is trying to find a way off, it's all very military and methodical. In the next few months, I'd like to get him some friends, but I'd like them to be very distinct from Magnus's friend set, sooo. There's a challenge.Threads I would like: Aside from Kate, Will and Tesla, I'm wide open to anyone you want to throw at my buttoned-down Englishman.

We should do that beach EP with the girls getting a little friskyish and maybe acknowledging that "if not for Will" vibe they have going on. Or just let them flirt with each other a little while longer without realizing that's what they're doing. Not, of course, that it's ever going anywhere, but I think it would be good for both of them.
Oh, Declan. I'm sorry she's such a trial. This next week and a half or so is just going to be hell with her.

Yeah, Declan is making this face D:

Declan, she'll be better for it. Promise!

-AND YES, MINI PLOT. And she will definitely desperately need Jacob to sort of ground her in sanity after the item.
-Oh man, Gwen. Chase is still feeling so awkward and I won't lie. Part of him wants to pass the telling off on the Doctor since both Gwen & the Doctor inhabit the same universe and Chase sort of just wants to not cope with that right now.
no subject
- Yes, I can't wait!
- Yeaaaah. I kind of like that it's still secret from her, though, because her breakdown about it is going to be much more interesting than if she had been bombarded at the beginning.
no subject
-Just tell me when you want to do it! We can even pre-play some stuff, if you like.

In other random thoughts, IDK I selfishly want to see Magnus and Jack talk about House. Just because Jack would possibly be surprised that House hasn't been a dick to her. And she's smart enough to work out that Jack is an instigator of some of House's Issues.
