Which OTS: THREAD*
Show us: The Winds of Change
Reason: I absolutely adore this thread. Seeing the heartbreak that Jane is going through just absolutely kills me, and how Veil just openly accepts her back because "Of course, you're family." is so good. Jane needs good things in her life, and this thread is just so heartwarming to read. It also has a lot of my favourite quotes, so you really are doing yourself a disservice by not reading the whole the thread. If I'm being honest, I never particularly held an opinion on Jane, neither like or dislike. This thread has changed everything for me and I have absolutely fallen in love with her character.
Which OTS: Quote*
Show us: @Jane in The Winds of Change
"She was followed, always, by the dog whose name was Failure, and her blood lay thick along its jaw."
Reason: This line is so damn good. It is evocative, emotional, and punchy. In the context of the rest of the post and thread, it really hits you where Jane's head is at during the beginning of this reunion, and when I read it I Knew I wanted to nominate it for Of The Season.
Which OTS: Quote*
Show us: @Veil Nebula in The Winds of Change to @Jane
"Because you were my star when my loneliness was closing in like a black hole. You may have left, but I have to also acknowledge you were going home. We both know, I would have done the same to you, if the stars had told me how."
Reason: Honestly, I'm trying not to cry again, haha. This is just such a pure response from Veil to her beloved sister. The understanding, the compassion, the empathy is so raw and beautiful. The unspoken forgiveness that Jane needed to hear in this moment, to know that everything was going to be okay, was still right between these two women, thick as thieves. It really gets me. If you haven't read the whole thing by now after I've made three nominations from it, you really should.
Which OTS: Pair*
Show us: @Veil Nebula & @Jane
Reason: Okay, so I think it's pretty obvious now that I am incredibly biased, haha. Have you read that thread yet? These two have such a tender relationship, and Veil really brings Jane out of her shell and I cannot wait to see how she creates a safe haven and a home for Jane while she's struggling with the things happening in her life, with her choices. I also can't wait to see how Jane continues to grow through her relationship with her chosen sister, and how that will bring her new life and new connections.
Which OTS: Character*
Show us: @Jane
Reason: You sense a theme yet? I'm so excited to see how Jane handles her current situation, how having the relationship with Veil will help her blossom, and maybe heal herself, and forgive herself. Jane is feeling a lot of turmoil over family, but this season looks like it might be the sign of her finally shifting into something greater and better for herself, and I cannot wait to see where that leads her.
Which OTS: Member*
Show us: @Dyzzie
Reason: Okay, so clearly I'm biased, haha. But Dyzzie is just such a light in the chat, always joking, and plotting and encouraging people to get involved. To buy that art, to follow that idea, and she is utterly supportive. For me, personally, I was having a very hard time writing regularly, but she's always down to plot whatever you are, bounce ideas, and be patient while you figure things out. She's so helpful when it comes to offering advice or opinions when you need them, and I am 100% certain that some of the character developments I have going wouldn't be possible without her. She's such a staple of the Novus community, always active with several characters in several threads at any given time, and always looking for more.
Send signos/exp to: @Nefertari I think would be good
Notes: Okay, so obviously I'm on the Jane Train throughout this nomination, but I want to point out Dyzzie beat me to all my other nominations, so I decided to go all in with what resonated with me this season. I'd like to echo her choices of @Morphi, @Jarek, and the interaction between @Fever & @Jarek , even though I know nominating twice doesn't do anything.
STAFF EDIT: * indicates staff have added this to the nomination list! EXP will be sent to your characters once Spotlight Nominations close and Winners are announced.
