parked | [ddd] semi-comprehensive sulu/ianto timeline

it's 2022, do you know where your decade-old rp logs are?

i posted a timeline back in 2017 but here we are in 2022, back at it again. i bit the bullet and went through the dw version of ddd to get all the links updated. i've used dw links wherever possible, but some things are stuck on the old hellsite until the heat-death of the universe.

i was absolutely obsessed with rping sulu/ianto back in the day, to the point where even now i sometimes think of fanfic ideas for them. it's like, really bad. but it's also some of the most creative, organic writing i ever did, and tbh we should ALL be proud of some of the shit we pulled back in 2010-2011.

this is PRIMARILY about sulu and ianto's relationship but i'm gonna include any other sulu-centric posts i find. there's some good shit in here and i refuse to let it be lost chronologically. i wish i could go through and do all the enterprise!crew stuff, like with kirk and sylar and EMO oh my GOD, but i'm tired, squirtle

anyway if you see this and you are in the same decade as this post you should hit me up! i'd be so thrilled to reminisce with other ljrpers from the day. toxicity aside, i really did have a great time with everyone.
