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.

I'm glad to hear it. And um, you know you're always welcome over at the house, right? Though it might be kind of loud for you now, since there's so many of us.
[But he knows Emily would agree on this matter, and the others would like Glacius if they met him too.]
no subject
So many of you? [Glacius blinks, picturing a house packed with random people, not necessarily a particular friends group. How could that be pleasant?] I ah... well yes, that is not a situation I am entirely useful. But Emily has invited me and now you... I would be happy to stop by, providing you do not think I would startle any of them.

Yeah, uh, there's seven people from my world here now. And a wolf.
[Can't forget the wolf. But yeah, even with them being friends it's way too many people in a way too small place.]
They'll be fine if we give them a heads-up to expect you, so yeah, don't worry about it.
