The In-Character Critique Meme

[thechoiceisyours]

Have you ever just wanted to tell someone flat-out what you think of them as a person? Does your roommate have this one quirk that drives you up the wall, like dripping apathy all over the kitchen sink? Sometimes all it takes to be the best person you can be is a dose of self-awareness, sometimes what it takes instead is a cluebat to the head... and sometimes they just have a stupid name you can never quite spell right.

For all this and more, have I got the meme for you!

THE LOWDOWN
i. Post a header with your character's name.
ii. Comment in-character to other people's headers. With what? Depends on your CR! Maybe they're a good person and really should keep on keeping on, maybe literally everyone can see they need to suck it up and confess already, maybe they'll change their wicked ways if just one extra person casts aspersions on their pompadour. Bring in examples if you want, as with any helpful critique. Be as creative as you like! FOURTH-WALLERS you are totally welcome to jump in here too!
iii. Other characters will comment to yours, no doubt overflowing with well-meaning advice on how to be the best person they can be. Your character is free to respond. Excuse you, maybe despair is still in fashion??
iv. A probably unnecessary reminder, but just remember, this is not a place for OOC crit! There are other, more appropriate channels for that.
v. Here are quick links to the Dreamwidth inbox and recent posted comments page if you want them.

You ought to clean up after yourself more!! You always leave behind a mess for me to clean up for you. [huff huff]

[beautyis]

And you should wash your jacket more frequently! Or at least let me.

[beautyis]

But as a brother, you have nothing to change! You are the best brother I could ever ask for.

[skelebro]

I love you too, bro.

Cleaning up is overrated.

[beautyis]

Cleanliness is a virtue!! One that you sorely lack. It is your one fatal flaw!

[skelebro]

Seriously? Of my many, many flaws, that's the one you wanna focus on?

[beautyis]

Don't overexaggerate! You hardly have any flaws at all! It's just your laziness and your sloppiness that is a problem.

[skelebro]

Those are pretty big flaws, bro. Insurmountable, I'd say. Like climbin' a mountain of dirty laundry.

[beautyis]

Well! Good thing you have me to pick up after you, I suppose!

[skelebro]

What would I do without ya?

[ha ha haa ha ha ha he knows very well ha ha ha ha ha ha]

[beautyis]

Live in filth!!! Obviously!

[skelebro]

You're right. I'm lucky to have such a cool guy takin' care of me.

[For once he's actually being serious. Mostly.]

[save_theworld]

I think you blame yourself for a lot of stuff you shouldn't. It's not your fault.

And please-

don't think about that anymore.

[skelebro]

Would it be too cliché to say right back atcha?

I'm doin' it anyway.

Maybe take your own advice, kid.

[save_theworld]

I don't think it works like that.

[It does but- shut up. Yeah.]

You didn't do anything wrong, Sans.

[skelebro]

I beg to differ.

[You don't gotta lie to him, kiddo. Or to - pretend he's somethin' he's not.]

I don't get to escape my own judgment. I did say it was my job.

[save_theworld]

I'm giving you the day off.

One get out of jail free card.

[skelebro]

Can't I give it to you?

[save_theworld]

Nope. You have to use it on yourself.

[skelebro]

Rude.

But all right, all right. I'll accept this on one condition: you use one on yourself soon. 'Kay?

[save_theworld]

If I find another one, I will. [-give it to Chara.]

[skelebro]

You better. I'm keepin' an eyesocket out for ya, remember?

[Clearly he means it in the nicest way.]

[hornrims]

I don't think you have any sense of purpose.

[skelebro]

Wow, tell me what you really think.
