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.

Because I believe in being true to myself. I just can't be anyone else.

[He says it the most earnestly he can possibly manage, which is pretty earnest-sounding for a guy that tried out every phase possible in high school.]

So that's why you went through that god-awful gangster phase in high school?

[He pulls his very lavender beanie down, makes a duckface, and flashes the sideways victory 'gangta' sign.]

Hey, I just had to let my badass side free for awhile. Couldn't be contained and whatever.

[meatbrained]

( sorry. still laughing. )

Dude. No.

[thechoiceisyours]

Dude, yes. But it's okay, I totally get it if you were jealous of my swag.

[He's trying so hard to say this with a straight face, but his lips are twitching.]

[unfollowing]

You were the exact opposite of a badass.

You still are.

[thechoiceisyours]

So not true, then or now. I'm ultra badass. You should be totally honoured to know me.

[His voice may or may not have cracked in the middle there from trying not to laugh at himself.]
