Nope, you're the best. We all voted.
FACT!! Verified and cosigned.
People always get elevated when they are in distress, but I have said, more than once, that you are the best of us, JZ.
And, considering the company, that is some damn high praise.
And, just to be clear, I also say this to my people: When I say something, it is never me being nice. To be frank, I'm just not that nice.
To quote Cordelia, "Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass."

Seconding this, and I have been discussing this with others lately. JZ, you were always the best.
JZ, nice to see you, even in flyby mode (I know, the struggle doesn't feel like flight. I'm sorry, Love). I don't need to add my voice to the chorus saying you're the best, since it's already marked down as unanimous. But you are!
Yeah...whatever decides what happens on this planet, don't think it has much to do with *deserving*. Sometimes I think mine? Is like when McNulty got boat patrol cause he said he liked open spaces.
I wish you didn't have that pain, erikaj. I won't insult you by pretending that I can relate to your situation, but the cast of characters in my life have been so, so awful, I've had similar experiences.
I was tempted for a second to go through the litany of things I did for those people as they passed, but it's not a flex. I did all of it for my own humanity. In some ways, I guess, to prove how not-them I am, which is honestly the greatest joy of my life. My service was genuine, because it was mine, but it was not remotely out of loyalty.
What that service did for me was to dilute the effect of their evil on me and to create a stalwart and completely open ability to be with people I do love and appreciate. While they burned the fear of death out of me, they made it possible for me to be with others. So. That's the upside.
If you ever want to trade vile grandmother stories, ping me. I'm down.
We all voted.

The Vampiric Council
and
the Eldergoth Council also support this ruling: JZ is the best.
