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 could learn how to be more pleasant. It's a good skill to have.

[hornrims]

I already know I'm not good with people. Why bother trying to improve a skill you don't have?

[infinite1up]

You're far too young to be telling me that you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Besides, it can be a challenge!

[hornrims]

Or I could just opt out and let you do it.

[infinite1up]

Ha ha ha! True enough. I suppose it'll give you time to perfect your other skills.

[wormintheglass]

You and I are going to have such fun.

[hornrims]

There's no "you and I" anything.

[wormintheglass]

So your loving description of my upcoming murder meant nothing to you? Fickle beast.

[hornrims]

It doesn't mean anything. Killing you is just a matter of taking out the trash.

[wormintheglass]

You haven't lived in a dimensional nexus filled with parasitic gods before, have you, dearheart?

[hornrims]

Wow. How impressive.

[wormintheglass]

Oh, I know it'll take more to impress you, dearheart. I'm just excited about the surprise waiting for you the first time you try to "take out the trash".

[skelebro]

You're shady as fuck. It's hilarious.

[hornrims]

If that's funny your sense of humor needs work.

[skelebro]

My sense of humor is an impressive pundertaking, thank you very much.

[hornrims]

Oh my God.

Are you able to crack a joke that's not a pun?

[skelebro]

Why? They ain't crackin' you up?

[hornrims]

Puns can be alright. Variety is better.

[skelebro]

What would you suggest?

[hornrims]

Ones that tell a story are good.

1/??? buckle up

[skelebro]

You want a story?

[Oh he'll give you a story.]

[skelebro]

So, a long time ago, there's these three kingdoms. Full of humans, naturally, 'cause that seems along the lines of what humans do, right? Conquering and kingdom-ing and whatnot.

Anyway. There's three kingdoms. A big one, a medium one, and a little itty bitty one. And they're all at war, because, again, you're fighting over all the surface area you could possibly want, so what else are you gonna do with your time?

[skelebro]

So one day, the war between these kingdoms comes to a real, uh...spearhead.
