#high praise tag

[ambitionsource]

I found ambition when looking for Jack and Eric fanfic on ao3. I genuinely thought it was it's own show with characters who just happened to have the same name as my two bmw favs (I didn't watch gmw and for my own sake I probably never will because they do my babies; jack, eric and angela, so dirty, and I knew of certain things namely Lucas Maya Riley I didn't know enough for it to make me click). I had no clue what I was getting myself into but then I started reading. I'm so beyond glad I did, I've loved every second, every laugh and every tear. Ambition is the show I wished I had as a teen (instead I had glee... and Riverdale... that says enough...) but I'm glad I found it when I needed it, as I face the same challenges the gang has been facing in season 4 as they move on from triple a and onto life in the real world. I like to believe the stories we need find their way to us, the characters we need to meet come to us, thank you for bringing all the characters but especially Jack, Charlie, Nigel, Asher and Jade to life, joining them on their journeys throughout the show and seeing parts of myself - good and bad - reflected back on me has helped me in ways I'll never be able to put to words so I'll simply say thank you. That's the power of good writing, it leaves the reader changed, the writing in ambition is incredible. I've been invested at every step, hooked by every twist. Ambition feels so real, so poignant, the characters feel like real people, it is so true to life in all it's complexities and in all it's ugliness and beauty. It's raw and it's human and it's about community and hope and it's about flawed people who make mistakes but are still worthy and deserving of love and who are trying to do not only do their best but do good and it's the story I desperately needed. I just wanted to write a wee note to send some appreciation to you all for your incredible work and everything you do to bring us this brilliant piece of work.

If the multiverse is real there's a universe where I follow Dylan Orlando on yt and TikTok and debate and jokingly bicker with Nigel about Shakespeare and am mostly likely a techie, I'm kinda sad that I'm not in it lmao but I'm glad and so grateful in one where I found your story. Looking forward to the rest of season 4 and in time season 5, it's going to break my heart to say goodbye but that's how you know that it mattered, if it hurts to let it go.

{backpedaling to bmw for a sec, BLESS YOU FOR WRITING THE WRONGS. I loved the Shawn Angela storyline in season 1 and honestly it healed a part of me that bmw/gmw broke. Without a doubt ambition did it better. I love when they pop in and they have some of my favorite lines. Shawn absolutely kills me, to paraphrase ; "oh yeah I could be jack, authority baby" destroys me every single time. I adore his dynamic with the techies too and Jack. Speaking of Jack, I am on my knees praising y'all for Jack and Eric, so rarely are older couples in teen/ya shows given such depth and it's even rarer to see a queer relationship between two men in their 30s/40s. Their relationship isn't perfect, it's flawed and complicated and there is so much love, their journey so far has been beautiful. It's rare for older characters especially teachers and parents to be treated as three dimensional and as complex individuals, they're typically just the joke or unreasonable antagonist, not in ambition. They are just as complicated and as real as our mains and I love that}.

omg hi! hello!! welcome welcome to the ambition family! full disclosure when i got the notification in my email that i had an anon on this blog i always lowkey dread it's going to be something harsh -- because internet -- but this message was the absolute opposite and the most lovely of surprises. i don't even know where to begin, but you wrote such a thoughtful and packed note here so i wanna address it all in turn -- please bear with me for the long response!

(though if you've read all of ambition up to this point, you're probably used to my writing being way too long. ahaha.)

first off, i wanted to highlight, underline, emphasize in bold what you said here: "I like to believe the stories we need find their way to us, the characters we need to meet come to us..." because you quite literally put our mentality about creating the show into words (beautiful words at that). that is near word-for-word the approach esther and i have taken with this show basically since its inception when we started writing it for ourselves -- we never ever expected it would reach as many people as it has. and we think of it that exact same way, that those who are meant to discover ambition will find their way to it (and its never too late to dive in). so it's so special to me to see you say that, to reflect that sentiment back to us, as like... proof that it is true. this series has brought a specially strange and wonderful cohort of readers together and it is always amazing when another one pops in to make themselves known. so thank you, thank you, for taking the time out of your day to share that with us. and again, welcome!

secondly -- HELL YES TO FINDING YOUR WAY HERE BECAUSE OF JACK AND ERIC! as someone who admittedly has grown less than fond of bmw in the intervening years (does our version of ct show that a bit... oops lol), jack and eric as a duo are still who holds my heart because they were that iconic in the source material of yore. i typically just tag them because they are so central to ambition (though as you probably noticed, i don't tag bmw as a fandom -- at this point i wouldn't tag either show honestly since its so like it's own thing but i have to unfortunately lmao), but i had considered not doing so because i didn't want to clog up the jeric tag but now i'm so glad i do, because look what a lovely little happenstance of bringing you to ambition it fostered!!

(also, you're correct. don't watch gmw. i enjoyed my time with it back in the day, it's cute, but there are better shows and the fandom was absolutely horrible. basically everyone who was there will attest to that LOL. that's partially why we emphasize that at this point ambition really is its own thing, because it's so far removed -- and clearly you can vouch for that now 😊)

and thank you for your kind words about how we write jack and eric -- we 100% agree that adult characters on young adult dramas tend to be useless at best and downright vile at worst (hellooo mr schue, speaking of glee), and we wanted them to be fleshed out and flawed and featured just as much in their own right. plus not only do they have a great relationship with each other that we enjoy writing (enemies to friends to lovers done right, if we do say so ourselves), they have such incredibly important dynamics with others (lucas and isa being the obvious ones) that it's impossible to think of the show without them. so it is SO great to hear such specific praise for them from a reader! and i love that you shouted out a shawn line, he is an underrated gem in the ambition story world for sure (and allowing him and angela their due was very satisfying for us, yes, hahaha).

lastly, can i ask, are you a writer too? because the way you phrased this is absolutely gorgeous and i want to just. hang it up on my wall and hold it close to my heart forever: "joining them on their journeys throughout the show and seeing parts of myself - good and bad - reflected back on me has helped me in ways I'll never be able to put to words so I'll simply say thank you. That's the power of good writing, it leaves the reader changed, the writing in ambition is incredible. I've been invested at every step, hooked by every twist. Ambition feels so real, so poignant, the characters feel like real people, it is so true to life in all it's complexities and in all it's ugliness and beauty. It's raw and it's human and it's about community and hope and it's about flawed people who make mistakes but are still worthy and deserving of love and who are trying to do not only do their best but do good and it's the story I desperately needed."

like legit, that means so so much to us. it's so heartening to see readers engage with the material so deeply AND come away from it with exactly the themes we set out to explore -- community, love, complexity, humanity, faith, failure, rebirth. so thank you, genuinely, for taking the time to send us this wee little note. it is incredibly kind of you, and we're so glad you found this series and get to take the journey with us.

enjoy the rest of the season to come, and please feel free to pop in at any time ✨

#its also So funny you mention the multiverse bc we literally often talk about #the 'aaa verse' where ambition is a real show #and how they're living in the good timeline and we're not LMAO. but we try #also since it has nothing to do with bmw / gmw really... dont shy away from sharing with friends!! #if you think they'd vibe with it -- that's what ambition is all about #and we're opening up a discord server soon for ambition warriors to come together #so keep an eye out if you're interested 😊 #anyway wow. like that just made my entire week #this community really is so lovely and special. thank you all so much #high praise tag #answered #also i laughed at the glee mention LOL #we were all there my friend... i remember it all too well...

idk man maybe i'm missing something but telling people that they aren't real fans of a source material because they don't full-on despise the live action adaptation just sounds a little close-minded and idiotic to me

#yes this is about natla #but it can also be about any live action adaptation #like i actually like the monster high live action movies but it's kinda hard to find others who will let me like it peacefully #natla definitely wasn't perfect but i still liked it #and so did many others #and while someone just saying “you're not part of our fandom anymore” doesn't actually remove someone from a fandom #it's still just not nice #if you see a post of someone praising natla or just talking about it in a non-negative light just keep scrolling #you really don't have to fill their inbox with tangents about your hate for the show #natla #natla positivity #<- ya know what yeah i will tag it that #all non natla haters get behind me #atla #avatar live action #avatar the last airbender #netflix atla #atla netflix #atla la #la atla #atla live action

I think I’m just going to start shitposting random hbh takes I have. Nobody will like it. But I will and I’m basically in this fandom by myself so get fucked im joking ofc

Comment that made me really happy this morning :)

Commenter, I'm kissing you on the mouth.

#we are always our own worst critics #I'm putting this in the tags instead of on the post because I don't want my own negativity to be inseperable from this lovely comment #but I can't help but wonder if it was a bot or something #it's sweet! But I'm not sure if this work/chapter deserves it yknow? #it's about Loki and Thor rekindling their sibling bond and Loki falling in love with Mobius meanwhile #it's sweet #but it's not especially complicated... and this chapter is about them enjoying thanksgiving as a family #so there's a lot of self doubt in this and 'do I really deserve it?' #which is silly because this is hands down my favorite fic to work on and I put a lot of thought and love into it #even if it is a silly goofy slice of life story #I do worry it's just an automated comment #but if I really made someone feel that way... ? Holy shit!!!! That would be amazing?!!! #I'm sure you get it. I don't think it's a masterpiece #but if someone does that's pretty amazing??? #that's pretty high praise!!! #agere fic inspo #🎠chatter #swearing in tags #ao3 comments

reading opera reviews is a hobby of mine because i forget how insane some things sound from the outside

#great art form when ‘and he doesn’t stab anyone for real’ is high praise #opera tag #rambles

[spirit-praise-and-beauty]

hi hi hi I just wanna tell you I LOVE your url <3 spirit praise and beauty is truly the sickest song of the entire ndrv3 soundtrack, in my humble opinion, so I simply had to invade your ask box to say hello 💕

HI OH MY GOODNESS I'm so sorry I didn't see this sooner! (I'm usually on mobile, and mobile likes to devour asks.) Always glad to meet someone with excellent taste.

Admittedly, it's mostly because I wanted a kinnie URL, but all the ones I could think of were taken. I lucked out with this one, it IS the best song, and I'd argue the best out of all the games.

Always feel free to invade the ask box, I love hearing from people! It means a lot that you took time out of your day to say something. Thank you!! <3

#ask #hyperfixationtimego #it's usually safe to assume i always have spirit praise and beauty on repeat #put it on while driving on an empty road at night and just trust me. #best advice you'll ever take. #also when i was allowed to get high (currently aiming for jobs that drug test pre-employment so i'm trying to stay clean a little while) #it was a religious experience to listen to #playing simon says #this also reminded me i need to think up a clever ask tag lol

it's been a super long while for me but i finally getting around to catching up on s4!! just finished growing pains, and a couple of my fave bits: the build up to the charlie dance comeback, jack coming home, jade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sweet baby getting everything she deserves), also rare zay/lucas bonding that is straying almost close to the source material, very big shocker, ALSO THE ENDING!!! my endearingly painful faves...isa and farkle...u hold such a place in my heart. i could go into everything i loved but it rlly was all of it like LUCAS/RILEY/ISA ROOMMATES!! YINDRA ZAY BONDING!! CHARLIE ANS FARKLE!! getting back to ambition really does feel like coming home which is always so fun- can't wait to catch up with the rest!! you guys did such a great job as always <3

p.s. i miss asher and dylan soo much like i know they're living their best lives together BUT I MISS THEIR ANTICS ;-;

wow wow wow. this was such a lovely sweet message to wake up to this morning -- thank you for taking the time to send it!! and WELCOME BACK!!! i hope everything is going well in your world ✨ i'm so excited for you to experience the rest of the season so far (and you made it just in time for 4b which is coming back VERY soon hahaha)

and for dylan and asher, without spoiling -- you'll see them again soon!! i promise!! even though they've shifted roles to guest stars rather than regulars, they do make more substantial appearances (and have some to come in the back half of the season as well)

i just really wanted to highlight your sentiment "ambition really does feel like coming home," because holy cow does that mean a lot to us. that's exactly the feeling we want reading this silly series to create. whether you're always up to date, or had to step away for a while but found your way back, or if you just showed up and found this community four years later, it's a lil community and it will always be for y'all with open arms (and plenty of theater kid antics). so it's really meaningful to see someone else put that into their own words and mean it. thank you for reading and sharing that with us 💝

Can I post a Hot Halloween Take without anyone getting mad

Nightmare Before Christmas is mid and the songs are actively bad

#see I'm not even tagging my hate see how polite I am #I know it's like the golden calf of internet culture but I saw it in high school after being sung its praises #and it just Really didn't click with me #the lyrics to the songs feel stilted and it seems like the words don't match the rhythms super well if that makes sense

[moinsbienquekaworu]

Actually.

#you can see how hard it is to feed me #there's more stuff i don't like but either it's considered normal (ie not a big fan of spinach. w/out cream it's just bland) #or it never comes up (ie foie gras because that's a once/twice a year food and it doesn't matter) #that said i am a haribo liquorice fan and i love olives. to compensate for the rest y'know #also pineapple on pizza is fine really. neutral about it which is high praise considering all the cream base pizzas are a no #i left it for a week on a whim but i don't think i'll get anything past the first day #wow i have a ramble tag now

"You are important to me." (Dottore to Wrenn :3c)

Another 'surgery.' Another instance where his mind had gone completely blank. Another recovery, where Dottore was saying such oddly gentle and sweet words to him.

Really, it was routine by this point.

Another vivisection done and dusted, another step forward towards his goal. This one left every inch of his body in agony--who knows what Dottore did to his insides this time. Even his head felt like it was splitting open--or, perhaps, it was more accurate to say that it had been split open.

Of course Dottore would be extra kind and gentle after this kind of experiment. He sounded distant from it, but that was normal for him--every gentle touch and word was from a place that wasn't a lie, but wasn't sincere all the same.

This time, it felt different to hear those words--for they were the first time Dottore had said something like that to him. Dottore never acknowledged him as 'important' or 'special' before... that surely meant something.

Scaramouche had to resist the tears gathering in his eyes--but he couldn't hide the astonished expression he was wearing.

But he swallowed it down, that damn affection that made his feelings towards Dottore so complicated--there was no place for it here. The longing for companionship, the craving for more gentle touches and encouragement--those were feelings he had yet to slay.

Still, he kept them inside, burning them as he murmured; "So you found something... interesting, this time?"

Because that would be the only reason Dottore would sing such high praise to him, right?

To be used, to be made useful... Well, it was just how his life went.

"What did you find, Doctor...?"

Valentine spends his Valentine’s Day rifling through the various cards and such he gets from coworkers, courters, and enemies-with-benefits, and snapping at anyone who attempts to make a joke out of his name.

Your art is incredible and so distinctive! I just love it!

Anon! Thank you!! T^T It really means a lot! 💕

I really struggle sometimes and nothing can ever be enough for me to be satisfied. Your kindness, the fact that you took a moment of your precious time to write a few kind words to a fellow soul, is something that puts my heart at ease, even heals my misanthropy.

I'm very bad in taking praise, so I don't really know what else to say, to make you believe that this really means the world to me!

You're beautiful, you're lovely, you deserve to be loved and I hope your day is bright and wonderful and you're living the best life! 💕

#life has been not very kind to me lately #nothing to worry about but after me emotionally colapsing for no reason #and a deadline at work that's getting very close... #i managed to get sick after heavy rain/snowfall #and my life being so f* cartoony these days makes me almost angry! #anyways... that's enough drama for the tags... #Just know I love you anon #and all you other beautiful ppl out there #always high on your praise and kindness and lovelyness #making my life complete from time to time!
