dankmemes | The In-Character Critique Meme

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.

Why don't you just give up?

I did, once. I gave up on everything.

[ Her friends, her family , her life- All of it had seemed so pointless after realizing all she's ever done ever since she was born is make things worse. She's a catalyst for destruction; nothing good has ever come of knowing Rose. ]

But my packmates saved me from myself. [ She still remembers it, hazily. Wade had been by her side as lethal radiation poisoned her slowly, Hiruma and Jesse hot on his heels. They'd carried her her back frantically, in a panic. They weren't sure she was going to pull through and yet she did. By some miracle, she did.

They saved her. And she was angry at them for it, at first. How could they? Didn't they see she'd only make things harder, that her being gone would be better - Apparently not. They saw things in her she couldn't. That she still can't.

So she promised them she would try. She would try, for them, to find reasons to keep living, to keep going forward no matter how much it might hurt, to be a better her. Stronger. She's planning on keeping that promise come hell or highwater too. It's the least she can do after all they've done for her. ]

So now I can't give up. I have to keep trying because I promised I would. Not for them, but... for me. [ 'You're better than that, Nurimi.' ] I have to find reasons to try even if when it seems like are none.

[ She has to have, well. Determination. And hope. Even if she's not actually a huge fan of the god Hope so far... ]

And that means not giving up on other people too! [ Including you, Sans. Grin. ]

[Oh boy.]

I, uh. I didn't mean in general. I just meant...y'know, why even try? I ain't exactly everyone's favorite skeleton.

[That honor goes to his bro, as well it should.]

[ Then be more specific, gosh! Her point still stands though.

She promised to try. For them. For her. ]

So? I've known way worse people than you, trust me! [ She is one of the 'worse' people ,for example. But that's not really something she wants to think about, hm? ] Besides, I never want anyone to feel like I did without the help of people not giving up on them!

So I ain't giving up on you. Even if it might be easier to or better or whatever - Sorry skeleton, dude. You're stuck with me and my trying ways.

And you...don't even need a reason to keep at it, huh? You don't really know me all that well and that's still a good enough reason to just keep at it?

[They gotta word for that kinda thing back home. Starts with a "d" and ends with "termination."]

Seems like a good enough reason to me!

[ Yup, that's Rose alright. ]
