TBE Week 2020: Someone Else’s Best Written Male Character ↳ James McKnight (Written by Haley)

first let me preface this by saying that there are WAY TOO MANY amazingly written characters of both genders on this site. it was incredibly difficult to choose my best written male. like i kept looking at the list and changing my mind a thousand times, but in the end, it had to be james.

haley writes james in such an amazing way. he’s a good lawyer dedicated to justice and his family. he’s a good friend. he’s just a good person in general. which made his development in year five very interesting, because in year five, district attorney james mcknight helped dispose of a body.

just that one scene would’ve made him a contender, but how haley played him afterward, his reaction to finding out what his then-fiance did, his guilt at obstructing the law, all of that - it was just amazing. that entire arc earned james his place on the list and its where my mind kept going back as i went to make the decision for best written male for 2020.

THE BIG EASY RP WEEK 2020 [day one]

↳ best written character (yours) 

Cesar Emilio Cortez

taking wanted ads is like a double edge sword for me.  gives you instant plots for your character but there’s the constant wonder if the character lives up to what the requester imagined.  seeing as it wasn’t a catch and release situation here, i feel i did alright with this guy.  cesar has become so much more then i could have imagined for him. i did not expect that he’d become one of my favourite characters which is on me bc he’s the sort of character i love in anything that i watch.  

honestly i don’t even know where to start.  it’s a challenge to write a character like tez (if i call him cesar again he might not cooperate with me for a while), because he is not a good person and he does not want to be a good person, but he is redeemable.  and i feel like that’s a key quality that’s necessary in order for him to be a well rounded character.  i’m not saying that his entire character is redeemable because it’s not, but certain actions of his are which makes him more then a one dimensional bad guy character that i see and did not want for him.

he is probably the most complex character that i write and its because the man chooses to interact with people in a way that is based on who they are and how he perceives them. he can have a softer edge to him but it’s still an edge.   i’ve gotten to write him through so many extreme situations in the last year, he’s gone through so much development and yet, he’s still not at a point where i’m dying for him to be. i think that’s why he’s my best written character bc it would be so easy to take what he’s gone through and experienced in the last year alone and say he’s fixed.  that he’s ready for that next chapter. that he’s ready for a relationship or to own up to who he is or that he’s ready to reveal that secret he’s been holding on to for two decades.  he’s not, its an accomplishment that i was able to change his sexuality.

TBE WEEK PROMPT 2 -- Best Written Character of Someone Else -- Sterling Carlisle

A day late, but for me a best written character that is not my own is Sterling Carlisle written by Maddie (@borges-emma). I had never intended to request Hayden’s son because one he was so young I didn’t think anyone would want to play him and two I didn’t know if anyone would be able to write him like how he is in my head.

THE BIG EASY RP WEEK 2019 [day four] ↳ plot i’m proud of → the royals

I’m actually able to pick one for once because there just isn’t any competition? There has been no plot that I’ve - and other people (shout out to Kae and Haley) have not put more work into than the Royals. When Kae and I first created the team during the Olympics we had been convinced that we were going to be the only hockey players on the board and we were alright with that. And for a good while we were the only ones there - the shift came when Dani made her beautiful boy and it just sort of escalated from there. We bullied Ashley into revamping her boy for it, Emma rejoined us giving us our captain, Emmy brought along the darker side of the sport, and Nova appeared from the heavens with her angel.
