...looking at the results now, thinking about the fact we are often silently grateful. Silently appreciating. Silently respectful. But there's always that weirdo who says, "You're breathtaking!" out loud.

Today I'm that weirdo.

My love is coming for you, in no particular order.

This is going to be a short, but intense list. Bear with me. I know openly admitting you love someone's work might make people cringe, but hey, it's a tiny cringe!

I want to thank @ErikaSanderson, for all the gratitude doesn't feel enough. Thanks to NoSleep streams, we know about the ACTING we don't see. She can be a British granny, and American boy, a vaguely Slavic ghost IN ONE PLAY, and you won't be able to tell that's the same person.

I want to thank @LydNicholas for creating the characters who speak of the boundaries. I haven't heard many stories with believable protagonists who manage their pronouns and the attitude to physical touch. This is painfully relatable; thanks for giving these characters the voice.

I want to thank @Alecto101 for being one of the most calming presences in all the podcasts I've heard. She has a gorgeous voice, a beautiful attitude to RPing as ANYONE, and the natural kindness that shines through every work of hers, be it playing a TTRPG character or cooking.

I want to thank @AlasdairStuart for being the literal calm voice of reason when he hosts things, - and putting his gentle manner of speaking to a great use in horrors. If a book of strange tales spoke to me, I'd love that to be in his voice.

(Being open to fun stuff is a bonus!)

I want to thank @ilanacharnelle, for I knew her as a singer and musician before I heard her acting (and long before I discovered the person she is), and that was the case of being full of joy for not having to be all, "Well, at least she is a pro singer". She's a pro, full stop.

It makes sense to mention @jakebenson27 right after, I guess?.. This is a kind of a case in reverse. I read his twitter first. I loved his personality. And then all of a sudden I heard his GORGEOUS VOICE, and I'm still not ready for his full potential in acting.

I want to thank @Abyzzinn for sharing his talent with us; you should hear his works, both scripted and improvised, ranging from a dwarf cleric to... oh.
Spoilers.
I had to look for my dropped jaw when after all the acting I'd heard I discovered his clear and smooth singing voice.

I want to thank @manylittlewords - in this thread, for voice acting, for I'm going to need a separate one for her other talents (*cough* go read her books *cough* also note the art skills *cough cough*). She has that unique voice that feels cold and gentle at the same time.
