My brain is mush and I tragically don't read as many threads as I should so some gratuitous self nominations.

Is it cheating to nominate self rp? lol But Ethan coming to terms with his mom's basically abandonment was quiet emotional to write.

Cheating a little cause Mia pointed this line out before. I didn't think much about it at the time but I do think it's good lol.

Ok so I have to admit. I want to read more topics from others, but usually I am too busy with keeping up with mines next to classes. So same as Kadi some self nominations here too. I have such a blurry mind so hard to remember some.

Category: Biggest Tearjerker Thread
Thread Title/Link: An Situation Of Life and Death
Additional Comments:

Spoiler

An self nomination because this was an plot I thought a long time on (and still is going on) The situation around Lauren and the Davenports is an emotional one and heavy topic to handle. And this was the moment where Lauren opened up and gained an ''tiny bit'' trust in adults. It was emotional since she is a victim, but still feels guilty about the consequences for her other siblings and even her parents. That is just sad, and wrong. But unfortunately happens in this situations (which I know from my work experiance)

Category: Most Dramatic Thread
Thread Title/Link: Away with Quidditch!
Additional Comments:

Spoiler

Giselle making an poster and Lius making her own version of it. Some fighting and calling names. Because they don't like eachother and not agree on how to feel about Quidditch.

It's so detailed and a lot of stuff thought about. Even the house where they live in and a video made for the character. So for me this stands out.

Mia has this amazing dreamy way of setting scenes, and after painting such a beautiful atmosphere at the beginning of the thread, she brought it so masterfully around to reflect the subject matter of the thread itself wough I love it

Category: Best Biography for a current student character
Character Name/Bio Link: Ethan Alexander
Additional Comments:

Spoiler

Ethan has such a unique history, and I wanna hype it up soooooo much! He's such an interesting character, and Kadi does a great job expressing him - he comes to life so quickly through her descriptions. It's a small detail, but I also love the way Kadi denotes rose threads too, it's such a sweet pop of colour in the thread list.

Category: Best Biography for a non-student character
Character Name/Bio Link: Angel Castillo
Additional Comments:

Spoiler

The image and font choices do such a great job of conveying Angel's whole vibe right off the bat. I've always been a big fan of Angel's personality and backstory from its earliest (much scummier) incarnations, and Kris does such a good job painting a picture of him that you can read in seconds. I also love the little summaries of each year, shows how he's been growing and changing with time.
