The IC Critque Meme!

[lifetothefullest]

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!
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. Feel free to assume there's a compulsion to speak their minds, if your character's not usually the type to give unsolicited advice.
v. A probably unnecessary reminder, but just remember, this is not a place for OOC crit! There are other, more appropriate channels for that.

I am attempting to do something about it. I doubt that means anything to you, but I am.

[feelslikeimspilling]

Oh, it means something to me alright... Just depends on what it is you're planning to do exactly...

Should I be worried?

[mismanagement]

Is therapy a cause for concern in your world?

[feelslikeimspilling]

Okay... Wasn't expecting that.

It depends on what it's for. Generally speaking, it's a good thing to get help but that's not to say it's not concerning.

...Is the therapy for you?

[mismanagement]

Yes.

[A pause. She's not entirely happy with the prospect.]

It was suggested. I gave my word.

[feelslikeimspilling]

Let me guess. Dr. Lance Sweets suggested it to you?

[ Don't get him wrong! Maketh needs therapy... It's just, will it even work on her? ]

Well, if it's going to help us get along? I'd say it's a good thing

[mismanagement]

He did not.

[Emily suggested it, something that Maketh doesn't feel like sharing. The jury is still out on how it's going to go.]

I don't know if that's possible.

[She's not trying to be mean, not this time.]

But I am--trying.

[feelslikeimspilling]

[ Ow... Blunt. ]

If that's the attitude you already heave then yea sure... It's probably not possible but hey, no love loss, right?

[ He's a little offended. Not that he's going to let her know that. ]

No, no, I'm sorry and you're right to try. I er... I hope it helps you.

[mismanagement]

I am trying to be honest.

[A pause.]

Apparently I am not very good at it.

[She shrugs.]

It's not a thing that my world would have allowed. But I am not there anymore.

[feelslikeimspilling]

[ He feels bad now. She's a person, just like anyone else, she should be given the chance to heal. ]

Word of advice... Don't shoot your therapist if they say things you don't want to hear. It'll get worse before it gets better, you just have to get through it.

[ He hopes it helps her, he really does. ]

[mismanagement]

I'm not allowed to bring weapons.

[It's probably for the best. She watches him for a moment.]

Thank you, Will.

[feelslikeimspilling]

[ He frowns a little at first. That's the first time he's heard those words leave her lips. He's not sure how to take it. ]

I er.. You're welcome.

[ a pause, an awkward grimace to his face before he talks again. ]

If you need anything...

[ He'll leave it at that. It's not like she'd take him up on the offer anyway. ]

[mismanagement]

[Maketh hesitates.]

I--will consider it.

[She's trying. It's not easy.]
