W E L L, this is late as fuck. New Years Day was five days ago, && the one year anniversary of this blog was sixdays ago. As some of you will know, and some of you will have guessed, I remade this blog at the beginning of December, after two months completely away from Tumblr; but aside from that, I’ve been roleplaying my belovedTAURIEL for a year now. That’s crazy, because I b a r e l y knew what RPing was when I made this blog, && I remember the first thing I did was set a drunk!Tauriel M!A on New Years Eve I’ll show myself out && go and cry in the corner with my cringeworthy memories.
However, then I started to REALLY look at her character; to explore headcanons, personality traits, even the way she moved. As cheesy as it may sound, I fell head over heels with a character ( & an actress tbh ) I already loved from the moment I saw them on screen. && honestly, I couldn’t be more grateful to the people who have made this whole experience fun and worthwhile.
To the 700+ people who followed me before I deleted, and the 123 people who have followed me from the beginning of Decemeber, THANK YOU. ( This is my first follow forever in a year, does that make me an awful person ?)
pelilasH E E N A ! How long have I known you now? We worked it out the other day; it’s something like seven months. It’s gotten to the point where we talk pretty much every day, and you patiently put up with my sporadic activity on Skype. tbqh, I wouldn’t change a thing about our friendship, && I’m so glad that we have it. We’ve probably spent countless hours talking about Legolas & Tauriel, or Gabe & Tamara ( whispers dramatically platonic relationships ). We’ve both pulled through deleting blogs, and remaking them, && I think you already know this, but you’re one of my closest friends on here, so pls don’t ever leave. <3
svikinnar ( crownsless, xperedhil ) loOK AT YOU NERD WITH ALL OF YOUR BLOGS. You are superhuman && I refuse to believe anything else. Somehow, we’ve managed to form a friendship from Skype conversations that mainly consist of ‘alsdjhlsa’, ‘l ays on’, && ’smooches’, but it seems to be a HELLA strong friendship, nonetheless. Even though time differences are annoying as hell, whenever we’re both online you’re just the best to talk to tbh, & I’m glad that (or at least I hope that) you feel that it’s kinda worthwhile when you message me back. ilu bb. <3
I have reached it! Wow! Seeing as this time last year I was sitting at only around 90 followers, to get this far is really amazing. I am so thankful for everyone who has followed me, and I still have no clue why you have aha..ANYWAY, let us get along with this follower forever!
I have to go out now, but the conclusion of this is THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH for following someone like me, I am so happy for you all, and even if I did not mention your name, I am still thanking you too. Happy 2015, have a great year!
So, my little ducks, we have made it to 100+ followers over here!!!! I really cannot thank you all enough for hitting that follow button and taking the time to be here with me. Of course, I could not have done it without a little help, and those honors go to the people listed below.
To clarify, I seriously enjoy all of you that do follow and even though I wish I could follow everyone back, it would leave my dash a cluttered mess. I thank you all so much, and I implore you to come talk to me or poke at the inbox, whenever you like. Whatever you are going through, good or bad.
Xx -Ash

ғσℓℓσω ғσяεvεя welp. I’m only here for like —- two weeks ? And I already am at 105 followers and many new friends. I call it a victory on my own social and past anxieties on this website. Guys, are you really conscious that it’s thanks to you ? I mean, playing an Original Character is quite difficult sometimes, due to lack of canon bases and to bad clichés about them. Not even mentioning that english is not my mother tongue, so it’s even harder.
fgrukvgfdvg gonna stop talking about me, but about you now. You all are very precious to me, and you need a proper thank you !
Sorry if I forget some people here, but there are all the names of the people I quite regularly see on my dashboard ! Thank you for being this fabulous, you write super well and you push me to go forward ♥
…. szhvufdgv now i stop being awkward and I go back to my cave !
Wow, so what an awesome thing to wake up to —another milestone hit!!!!! I’m still shocked there’s so many of you awesome people who want to follow me and plenty of you have helped to shape my short time here. I feel like I should write more stuff or something but nto very good at blabbering, so without further adieu, my list of awesome rpers:
KIN:
You super special people that make me smile and are just wow. Hover for cheesy blabbering.
And the pure gold I like to watch on my dash and are in awe of and totally do not stalk on my dash —shhh.
barzur, anoldwarrior, idk probably more that I can’t think of at the moment.
MIRRORS:
And last but certainly not least, the totally awesome Thorin’s that are…well…totally awesome. There’s 33 of us now, and wow I’m really way too lazy to look at every single blog so here’s a few that I know are seriously A+.
I’ve only had this account for alittle under a week, and already I was greeted with a warm reception. I honestly still doubt my potrayal of Legolas since I’ve never done this type of fandom before. I felt that I would be scrutifnized and make a fool of myself to try and carry a character that I didn’t feel I could do. But you guys didn’t do that. You invited me in. You spoke to me. Roleplayed and didn’t judged how I wrote, spoke or anything of the sort. When I needed help you all came running. You guys kept me company through the night. You all were there and became a tiny little family. I feel safe and wanted in this fandom and I will continue to press on what what I am doing. I can’t thank you all enough for making me feel as though I am doing a good job. I am sure there are better Legoloass’ than me and that is ok. I am not tryng to be in a competition; not trying to gain the most followers or anything of the sort. I am just here to roleplay and strenghten my writing and broaden my horizons. And from pressing on, and the reblogs of my promo, I’ve made it 100 followers. A milestone I’ve never achieved on any of my other accounts. You don’t know what that means to me. It makes me feel like I can do. That my writing is good enough. My potrayal is good enough. Everything is good enough most of all, most of you actually speak to me. For someone who has had ocs in different fandoms, it is an overwhelming feeling to have people actually speak to you. Oh well. THANK YOU ALL! I CAN’T THANK YOU ALL ENOUGH!
I am sure there are more that I forgot to tag. But know this, I love all of you and I watch all of you and I am scared shitless to approach most of you. But I do thank you for all of the love and support you have all given me. I will continue to do what I must and be a decent Legolas this fandom can be proud of. Thank you all. Really, thank you.
Wow. 400 followers? That’s insane. I can’t get to all of you (god knows I love you all), but I wanted to make a few shout-outs to those that kept/keep me in this fandom in light of the new year.
therangerofithilien: You surprised the hell out of me, my friend. I was absolutely enthralled by your writing when Faramir appeared. Not only is our RP a lot of fun, but you also leave room for me to explore sides of Legolas I never thought of peeking into. His excitability, his spirit, and his growth from prince of Mirkwood to hero of Middle Earth.
rulerofthewoodlandrealm: When I first replied to our thread, I never expected you to whip out so many paragraphs in one blow. You’re bloody amazing, dude, and I hope you never go anywhere. You were born to create the art that you do.
thexnlyright: I claimed this Thorin. I peed on them and so they are mine. But no, really. I am so impressed with how far you’ve come from your first post and am always looking to read more from you. You’re always welcome in my inbox, my friend. For anything.
silvxnelf: A sweetheart that almost always replies faster than I’m willing to type. —Joking! I love everything you send me and could not be happier with your portrayal.
taurielthewarrior: One of the very first people that played with me on Legolas. Her Tauriel and my rendition have a lot of ups and downs, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Not ever.
lordofelves: You leave and make me so many gifts when I don’t even realize it, my friend! Without you, there would be no Nuada, no Legolas. I only always wanted to play with you, and I finally got that dream on magistrixium. Your amazing writing! ;-; And from that dream, came playing with underoakandbeech, tenebrouscrown, and now I am completely happy with the type of professional writing I’ve surrounded myself with!
e-l-e-n-a-t-h: A new friend and a great writer. I’m always looking forward to finding your replies in my activity— whenever it isn’t broken, that is. Another that is always, always welcome in my skype or inbox. :)
Those I admire greatly, despite being a selective little shit.
rebooting this account was one of the best choices i’ve made as a roleplayer, and now i finally reached 200+ followers! tauriel is not favored much by tolkien fans, which i understand completely, so i was scared to portray her through my writing again…but you all have shown me how kind the beloved middle earth family can be, and i’ve never felt more welcomed. :’) i hope to stay here for the long run, even if tauriel’s story in the hobbit may be over—
This is my beginning of the year shoutout to blogs that follow me, roleplay with me, and the ones that I stalk religiously. Bagna is literally only a handful of days old side blog and I somehow managed to attract over 60 of you. For this, I am eternally grateful, and offer you a portion of my immortal soul.
Side note: I’m only tagging RP blogs in this, but for personal blogs who seem to like reading my shit, I love you too. :3
THE BAES: People that I roleplay with who are just amazingly wonderful at their character portrayal and were here from the beginning.
