Gimme a quote from his amazing writing!

A moment later and Achilles, her mind finally spit out. She had watched the reaping re-runs last night. Achilles could still be dangerous. Or she could be like the careers Katelyn had interacted with before; a pitiful cog spinning in a machine they couldn’t possibly understand. Playing the role the Capitol intended them to and unaware of it. Never growing beyond it. -- pogue

We are the wolves, agile and fleet footed. A pack that moves on two legs instead of four. We are the foxes, wily and scheming, dragging the unsuspecting out their burrows and into the night. We are the bears, protective and fierce, our strength in our backs, in our faith, in each other. We are the ravens, watching the world with eldritch eyes of blood-red, gliding silently on ebony wings. We are the Forresters and that means freedom. -- WT

I already mentioned this, but the way you described Nan’s FACE WOUND WAS SO ! GOOD ! -- dars

nah. listen. the entire whitney x indigo kidnapping thread!!!!!! DUDE!!!! -- kait

“Dusty,” I gasp, my breath ragged, my hand clutching his shirt. Finding my courage in the eleventh hour. “I-l-love you.” And I whimper, tears mingling with blood as I tremble because this is not how I wanted to tell him. -- kaplan

I’ve been obsessed with anything and all nanette but I can’t quote a whole post :// -- kari

"I am a child of the forest, cloaked in gossamer spiderweb and the dusk before the dawn. I am the chirp of crickets on a cool summers night. The emerald hue of dandelion leaf gleams in my eyes and the sting of the nettle dances on my fingertips. There is peppermint on my breath, can you taste it on my tongue? Elderberry juice runs through my veins, my sweat bitter as lemon balm." -- tbh this ENTIRE BIO wow <333 gorgeous imagery, Raderoo! -- kay

A wise old man had once said that a long life was a battlefield where everyone else had fallen, leaving you alone amid the wreckage. As the tribute graveyard continued to widen every year, she found herself agreeing with that saying. But as long as there were people standing, the battle wasn’t over. As beaten down by the world as she had been in the last decade, Katelyn refused to lay down and die. Sure it was hard. Many nights she saw the faces of the tributes she'd failed to bring home, but she knew—

“When the burden gets too heavy to bear, you share the load,” she stated before smiling sheepishly. "I know I’m not the best at following my own advice, but I do believe that.” That wasn’t the only thing she believed in either. “You’re a good man, Vasco. They know that. Have times been hard? Sure. But you haven’t failed the district, or your family. You haven’t lost. How you can lose when the system doesn’t intend for you to win?” -- zori

There is a saying in district eleven.

They thought they buried us, but we were seeds.

It’s supposed to mean that a person grows in spite of the adversity heaped upon them. That it strengthens them until they push through it and back into the sunlight. It’s a good saying, but it is irrelevant here.

I am not buried in dirt.

I am crushed by stone. -- geebs

literally every nannette post -- fireflyz

Opal made her feel whole, and as she had entered her thirties it was a feeling she’d thought was beyong her grasp forever. All Katelyn had wanted was to make her happy. Be the balm to her burns. Make that smile last for more than a moment. Find a way to wipe away unshed tears. Just show her that better days were ahead.

It felt like water was closing in around her neck, a cinderblock tied to her feet.

“I love you,” she whispered. It was the only thing she had left to give. She hoped it would be enough. -- ele

Can I just put done every izzy post? Always such a good read! -- kiah

How could one person have such an effect on her? How could one person make her feel like everything was going to be alright, even as everything fell to pieces around them? -- rook

Can i just quote the whole post of cleo giving naomi what you came for
hungergamesrpg.com/thread/96957/came-cleo-naomi-clue -- nyte

"Fear was what she specialized in. She examined everyone around her for weaknesses and exploited them. Picked at the scabs with a finely manicured nail and made them bleed. Because the more a person was focused on covering their scars, the less likely they were to see hers." -- zoe

I love your writing so friggin much!!!!!!! I want to quote each and every post that EXISTS from wreckin my heart with your brilliant Katelyn posts, to stomping on me with Cleo, and showing me pure and utter kindness with mercy and JUST EVERYTHINGGGGG

With a heavy sigh, Katelyn pulled a small box out of out her purse and flicked it open. A beautiful, shimmering opal set into a rose gold ring, surrounded by a band of tiny sparkling diamonds. Katelyn let out a shuddering breath that was almost but not quite a cry.

She’d been planning to propose at the end of the quell. -- cass


Your favourite memory of this awesome guy!

Honestly any time I’ve threaded with him, especially within the training center! He always leaves so much room for interaction and growth in his writing. -- pogue

clue chats, listening to your theories and secretly cackling when i knew you were right or wrong muahaha -- dars

remember when charade decided he was going to narrate perdita's posts bc. wow. that was fucking incredible. literally??? what sort of kindness/wonderfulness is that!!!!!!!!! -- kait

I remember having a conversation with Charade about my Doctor Who cosplays and he was so much fun to talk to about it! Then again, he’s always fun to talk to! -- kaplan

Honestly it was in the clue chat when the killers were finally revealed and charade had a list and me and Sidney were at the end because we would be too obvious LOL honestly made me cry -- kari

I think I always say our meetups! Which is true! But this time I'm going to throw it back to GMing with you. Running a Games is always an Experience but you made it so easy, Rade. Thank you for always being so steady and thoughtful. <3 -- kay

Honestly, the fact that I've been able to post so much with charade, the fact that he listens to my crazy plots and schemes and is so willing... he's written such wonderful characters full of life, and I have to say selfishly that Katelyn & Vasco are my favorite friendship I've gotten to write <3 There's just something so real and warm about Charade and his writing <333 -- zori

Leskor <3 -- geebs

your ghostwriting in quote-stream and the time you were shocked by me being a Scorpio rising tbh -- fireflyz

Every interaction I have with Chars is just always lovely. I've always cherished his honesty and fun personality in chats and I'm so glad that he came back to the site as well! Love you! -- ele

Mentoring me though the 85th hunger games! Katelyn was such a huge part of Bella’s development <3 -- kiah

Him winning with Katelyn! I was so pleased for him and excited to keep reading her story. Charade is a very humble dude and I remember how good a sport he was those Games and how decent he was to everyone - and that sums him up as a person. -- rook

Finally getting to write together recently! Its so fun and i am so blessed to get to thread with you (: -- nyte

all the clue plot threads! coming back to site, rade was one of the first people i threaded with (stan indigo!) and he really helped me get my groove back. -- zoe

What isn't????? Tag team writing everything that we do. Me rocking back up after four years and you instantly being down to right the return of our two victors together!! You listening to me rant and talk and being there for me all the time!!! Love yah man -- cass

I am forever thankful that I get to call you my writing partner, my duo, the best person ever to write with. There's nothing more that I love then smashing out three threads in one week with you, it just flows so easily and that speaks to the kind of person you are.
