This is something I can do. Now, for me, I think my hashtag squad actually consists of a lot more than people I’ve tagged with that (pretty much anyone who has ever spoken to me positively is part of my squad. It’s a fact. I’m very liberal with love and positive attention) but I’ll focus mainly on the three others who make up the main Pevensies I speak to (okay no not really; I’ll throw as much love as I can into this).
So this beautiful slice of heaven was the first person to follow me on Daphne. They were the first person to interact with my OC, and then they are the direct reason why I made Peter in the first place– I’d mentioned I’d be interested in playing a canon, but didn’t know who I’d best suit. I’d always had Peter in the back of my mind– I can go on and on about my king of promise, but that’s not what this is about! This is about friends! ANYWAY. This was the first Edmund to talk to me. Somehow, I don’t even really know how, it became more OOC talks than IC talks. Then came me convincing her to get a Kik (which she never uses) and her convincing me to finally get a skype (which I now always use). She made Peter’s theme, which I constantly go look at because holy pretty, Batman. Most of my headcanons regarding Peter & Ed’s relationship come from her. Hell– we have a merman verse for these two idiots. I don’t know if I would have made it through the hump of just starting in indie without this person. Not only is her writing superb, not only does she fit me hard in the heart every day, but we’ve formed an OOC relationship which I think only strengthens Peter & Edmund’s relationship.
Okay. If you’ve ever met a person and immediately clicked, wondered why, and the realized it was because you were the same exact person, you’d get how it worked with this nerd and I. It was immediate and electric, and it’s hilarious and overwhelming just how similar we are. We get each other’s (very) obscure references, we have the same sense of humor, and I think the only thing we’ve ever disagreed on, really, was what house Lucy would be sorted into if she were a character in Harry Potter. But seriously. My love overflows for her. And my Peter muse will forever be steadfast in his love & protection for his nerd of a little sister. When you find people who you just click with, you care about something similar to you, you stick with them. And that’s what I do for you.

So you three are my Susans. Whoops, but there are three of you. And for all three of you, I haven’t gotten to really interact with you as much as I want to, but I very much hope that changes in the (very near) future. You all play very different Susans, which means that I get to explore so many different facets of Peter’s relationship with the second eldest. I know with darksoulslovethemoon in particular, our thread is really exploring just how deeply the devotion between the siblings goes, and I am one-hundred percent here for this. Honestly, though– you’re all fantastic at what you do and I’m just super excited to become obsessed with each of you.

K80, I love you. You’ve given me so much fun so far. The threads we’ve had have just been F U N, and they’re why I came here to begin with. To have full creative freedom over a character, and to explore every little facet of them. Your Ed (and Cas, and Eustace, and Reep, etc etc etc) are allowing me to do just that, and I am so grateful. Please say we can keep doing fun things (and feelsy things) for a very, very long time.
I had never expected to find a Peridan when I finally braved the world of Narnia indies, but I am S O glad I did! I’ve read backlogs of your Peridan to the point of falling absolutely in love with him! I know we’re only beginning to interact with our characters at this point, but I’ve already fallen for Peri & I can only hope that our relationship, both IC and OOC, grows. You’re an incredibly talented writer, and I am so grateful you write with me.
So that’s it, folks. These are the people who are in my hashtag squad. And by that, I mean that these are the main Narnia players who I’ve interacted with the most either IC, OOC, or dash stalking (oops). Shoutout to the bae status westxrnwood & eastxrnsea for putting up with 99% of my shenanigans, though. When it comes to people deserving positivity, it’s definitely you guys. I am S O grateful to have you.
