honestly if we didnt hate the same people we would have a friendship based on nothing

[dedikated]

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 don't believe you actually talk to people about what bothers you. It's going to drag you down.

[lifetothefullest]

[Well, Atem's not wrong, but Lance didn't ask to be called out like this!!! Even though that's the point of the meme.]

I talk to some people about some things.

[A+ defense there. Nailed it.]

[puzzlingly]

「He's being one big hypocrite no worries.」

Ah? What things?

[lifetothefullest]

[They're both hypocrites here so it's all good.]

Things that are relevant and I don't foresee being able handle alone.

[Which gets him out of sharing a lot of stuff because he's a psychologist so obviously that means he can deal with most things. Right? Right.]

[puzzlingly]

As long as you remember that.

[lifetothefullest]

I should say the same to you.

[puzzlingly]

...what?

「lol」

[lifetothefullest]

You're giving me advice I gave you first, and there was a reason I felt it necessary to say to begin with.

[notimpervious]

I apprecite your friendship very much, especially in this place, but having said that, I still find your diet atrocious. Please take better care of yourself.

[lifetothefullest]

[#dragged]

Well... Thanks, for the first part, I guess?

[He loves you too, Brennan.]

But it's not like there are great choices here, and you know I can barely cook, and I haven't had time lately to figure out some way around both of those problems.

[He has all the excuses!!! Leave him and his uncooked ramen snacks alone.]

[notimpervious]

You're welcome.

[ c: ]

That is not true. There is an orchard with plenty of edible crops, and you and I have both complained of boredom. I even gave you a quick cooking lesson once.

[Never.]

[lifetothefullest]

[Stop with the logic! It ruins his excuses. :c]

Okay, fine. It's also an area of focus that I just don't care to put the time and energy into at the moment.

[That's much closer to the truth, so be happy. >:c]

[notimpervious]

[Haha no way that is what she's best at!]

Why not?

[She does not understand.]

[lifetothefullest]

[Give him a moment to figure out the best way to explain without saying too much at the same time, although thankfully Brennan isn't the best at reading into things and so he has some leeway on the latter part.]

You know how when you have a case that's particularly interesting, or that you have some personal investment in, taking breaks for eating and sleeping and other things like just seems like a waste of time and effort that you could be putting toward what you're doing?

[notimpervious]

[Lucky Lance tbh.]

Yes, but we've already established that does not apply here, since we are both lacking in projects to work on.

[evocation]

I thought you were like, super uptight and boring, but you're actually super cool. Uh, no offense.

[lifetothefullest]

I am so not about to be insulted by any comment that ends with being considered super cool.

[Also he might be utterly delighted with that descriptor; he's used to people not liking him at all, so he's usually happy with just being viewed neutrally let alone positively.]

[requiemshark]

I may have to reevaluate my assumptions about psychologists. Then again, you're the only one I've met who isn't secretly an asshole.

[Congrats?]

[lifetothefullest]

[That's something that he isn't expecting to hear, but means a lot. He went into this field for a very specific reason, after all.]

Thank you. I can't speak for whether any other psychologists aren't secretly assholes or not, but I'm glad I could at least give a different impression.

[Although Lance can be a bit of a nightmare himself. But he does do his best to reserve that for personal behavior, not professional.]

[requiemshark]

Pryce definitely was. If we're lucky, he'll never show up here. Or just die in a fire. I could settle for that.

[lifetothefullest]

Since I don't know him, I'm not going to necessarily condone wishing he'd die in a fire. That said, I'll go ahead and hope he never shows up also.

[Both because of that glowing review from Ephemera, and that Lance is competitive and doesn't necessarily always like dealing with other mental health professionals. He gets along with some--like Wyatt and Rosen--just fine, but others he clashes with badly especially since he's not always enthusiastic about people being able to read him as well as he can read them.]

[requiemshark]

Five minutes with the guy and you'd be on my side.

[Because fuck that guy and his smug fucking face.]

How he lived that long, I don't fucking know. Asshole.

[lifetothefullest]

What was so insufferable about him?

[He's curious. Tell him the gossip.]

[requiemshark]

He liked getting under your skin. Figuring out what makes people tick.

[All the better to break them with. Ephemera's mouth twitches.]

I never touched that fucker. But he only tried that with me once.
