Woke up with an unexpected Oscar, seriously wasn't expecting it for something I wrote on a whim. I am honoured that I even got nominated for this award, and even won, which is absolutely amazing. I've been always inspired to write comedic fanfictions, and seeing one of my own work winning makes me simultaneously cry and laugh at the same time XD. Thanks for the people who voted my story for best comedic scene and I literally thank everyone that's gotten my writing to this point. I'm not the best writer out there, and normally felt cringed out by my own work, but seeing others like my work so much it receives an award? I'm literally shook.

Once again, I'm honoured that my fanfiction won best comedic scene, and I look forward to writing potentially more comedic things in the future, as I enjoy writing them as much as y'all enjoyed my comedic fanfic. Thank u guys ♡

Woah...I couldn't stay up the whole night but woke up to me winning Best Roleplayer?? Thank you so so much!!! I was honestly really surprised that I got nominated and even won too?! I'm so excited and happy and honored that you all noticed and enjoyed Jin and my writing for him! Thank you to everyone who got me up to this point and for the people that put up such amazing rps for me to be apart of! I'll definitely keep improving going forward and once again, thank you so so so so much!!! ;u;

Title: Acceptance Speech? Yes!

Oh, my god.
Yeah, that was the first thought that popped into my head. I'd done it! I'd won!
And you want me to be honest about something? In all my years of writing, I'd won ... absolutely nothing! This is sincerely my first award that I'd ever gotten regarding something I wrote. And oh boy the serotonin rush? The giddiness? I'm grinning from ear to ear!

I remember writing this in my about me as an honest confession to my anxieties regarding Rping.

Diary mine,

Alright, I'll admit it. I'm not the biggest social butterfly on PH. You've probably noticed that because hey - how many people know me? I'm just a writer who's trying to find a creative outlet for my mind. My friend group is usually composed of a set few users that I have communicated with for the longest time, and honestly, when I make a friend, I tend to get far too attached. Maybe I'm nervous that I'll make friends with the wrong person, maybe it's because I am aloof, who knows. I guess I'm not as social as I once was. You'll likely meet me in this journal in fact, since I'm like in three rps here. (Two too many in my opinion, actually.)

Not only that, but even my writing gives me the anxious jitters. I always find myself wondering, is this good enough, or could i have done something more. I come back to it a day later, and I say well this sucks. I really don't like how this is written. or This sounds awkward. Unfortunately, this means that I do tend to get nothing done at times. I only have like one finalized piece for lord's sake, and to think I dreamt of being a journalist. Seems lofty to me now. Even the smallest projects I have a hard time getting done, (in real life I mean.)

God that sounded depressing. I guess I do tend to beat myself up a lot when it really comes down to it. I know the saying well: you are your own worst critic. Nevertheless, writing stories / text is something I will eternally treasure as a dear hobby, and I know that if I put my mind to something, I will surely finish it. One day.

Sincerely,
Immortes

It's true! I get all the nervousness and jitters when it comes to writing. Nothing seems to be good enough at first glance, and even now when I look back on things, I curl up and cringe. Thank you PH — and to all the people I"ve rped with — proving to me that I can be good enough.

Even though this award was dedicated to me, I would like to extend it to all the people on PH who are beginning or in their RPing careers. The only limit to RPing is your creativity and your own inner critic. Go big and go wild!

Thank you to the following: 1) everyone who voted for me 2) Suzanne Collins for making the hunger games and 3) Everyone who encouraged me to go farther when I felt like breaking down. My appreciation for you can never become overstated.

Copy pasted from my earlier post, sorry XD

Best short story. Best rp plot. And even best rp in general. To say that I was surprised when I saw my name under these categories as a nominee, let alone a winner, would be an understatement.

Thank you so, so much to everyone who has helped me along this journey! Everyone who supported by ideas in the PH community, everyone I've ever rped with, and all of you on my friend list especially.

I want to encourage all of the artists, writers and rpers here to keep pursuing your passion if that's what you enjoy. Thank you PH once again, and I hope y'all have an awesome day :D

I'm a bit late with this, apologies for my absence.

I am pleasantly surprised to see that The Awakening had won an Oscar. It only feels like yesterday when I had gotten bored at work and had spontaneously come up with the idea for Haven of Beasts. That's all it really was at the time, a simple idea. That's how it would have ended if it weren't for RoyalGecko stepping in and coming up with a few ideas that helped save the RP.

Gecko still manages to surprise me with her ideas for the Haven of Beasts trilogy. She managed to turn my simple idea into something much greater. If it weren't for her, none of this would have ever happened. Of course, Gecko can't get all the credit. We also continue to have an amazing cast that helps makes this RP great. Thank you to everyone who has been apart of this trilogy. We couldn't have done this without all of you.

If I were to be honest about my feelings, I fear that it would become too depressing but I'll try my best

Quite frankly, I don't think I deserve the Best Villain award. To anyone who has known me, it would be odd to see me playing a villain. My characters tend to fall into archetypes yet none of them are cruel enough to the point of villainy. This is mostly because Roleplaying to me is a way to explore different aspects of myself, learning to understand myself as much as I understand the characters I play. The world is cruel enough, why make it even crueler? Out of everything I could ever have written I never thought that Noel would be the one to take the spotlight. Perhaps it's the fact that Noel is someone I would like to try and become. A being who is comfortable with their body and their appearance, confident enough to get what they want, vivacious enough to be known. A monster who is proud of their monstrosity. Noel became someone through which I channeled much of my questioning onto. At the time I wondered if I was genderfluid, my own struggles with gender throwing me into a place I am grateful that I crawled out of. While it wasn't the case and I am back to square one on my personal journey for identity, Noel became the pit-stop where I could return to and rest while pouring out my findings in an impersonal matter. Perhaps it is odd to say that their monstrosity is what kept me going but perhaps the truth of the matter is that Noel is a dichotomy I am glad came to life.

While I doubt that I would ever eat a heart like an apple, one day I'd hope to unabashedly and unapologetically be myself, whatever that may be. Thank you to those who nominated me and especially thank you to those who were in the Role Play along with me. Without the joint effort of myself and those Noel met, things may have turned out differently. To anyone who has ever lent me their support, your words have more of an affect on me that what it may first seem and I am infinity grateful for them.

Please keep watching me as I continue to explore different avenues through my writing and thank you for all your love to Noel!
