dankmemes | The IC Critque 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!
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.

Too much freedom can be dangerous, though. I need to protect them. The galaxy isn't kind to anyone and I don't know what I would do if something happened to them. [Probably go on a rampage.]

What was your father like?

[He lifts a shoulder in a shrug, looking away.] I'll figure it out.

[His eyes flash eagerly at the description, but he does have enough sanity to wince sympathetically.]

Carnage. [Anakin grins and chuckles.] We'll give them what they deserve.

As can too little of it. [Unbidden and unwelcome, the words of an old letter come to mind- our sister was detained by this lord, and I do not know how willing their union was- and he cannot quite suppress the grimace.] We were not meant to live in cages, even ones fashioned from love and concern.

My father? He was my rock; strong and steady as both father and king, but gentle and kind as well. He bore the burden of a people's hopes for four hundred years and more, and never did he complain of them.

Of course you will. [Nothing else to say to that, honestly, but there's something about this one...

And there it is again. Fingon likes a good fight as well as anyone, but there is something very strange about the brightness of this Man's eyes ]

I shall be glad to see that.

Only circumstances can dictate my opinion of their freedom and how much they should have. [He won't let them go wandering off as he did as a child. Knock on wood.] We were not meant to be blown to pieces or shot down by a blaster either. Sometimes the cage is preferable.

[He shakes his head in wonder. Four hundred years?] I will never get over how long your race lives.

[Some alien races are long-lived, but none are immortal.]

I'm very good with a lightsaber. I bet they've never seen one of those.

And what of their opinion? Some people are content with the quiet life; it suffocates others. Would you wish those you love kept you safe at all costs? Would you thank them for doing so?

I could not, though they had the best intentions in the world.

Once, that would not have been so very long to us; now, it seems a great deal of time indeed. Then again, we have done a great deal of living in those few centuries. [He shakes his head.] It is strange from the other side as well- Men can do so much in so little time, when it suits them!

You use light as a weapon?
