the | in character | critique meme

[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. 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.

you fell six fucking feet and fucked up your knee. get your leg checked out. there's gotta be like, a bace or something for it in the clinic. jesus

[thechoiceisyours]

Em, you're like, third in line on nagging me about this.

And for the record I also climbed out a second-story window.

[unfollowing]

i fell from a burning fire tower (yes i see the irony there), fell down two mine shafts, got bitten by a wendigo, and fell from a zip line.

so yeah sorry if i'm thinking you're a little fragile and need watching over

[thechoiceisyours]

The fact that you're like, somehow indestructible shouldn't be used against us mere mortals.

Also, wow, I think 'fragile' is a little much.

[unfollowing]

Clearly not indestructible if I got all cut and bruised up, but okay?

Six feet, Chris.

[thechoiceisyours]

Hey, I said indestructible, not invulnerable. Or invincible. Or probably some other 'in' words.

Sorry, geez, I was a little too distracted by the whole wendigo thing to land gracefully. I leave the coordination and athleticism to like, you and Sam and Matt.

[mismanagement]

[Guess who just found out you haven't gotten your leg fixed yet. Guess.]

See. A. Doctor.

[thechoiceisyours]

[oops]

I will! Geez.

[Eventually.]

[mismanagement]

Because I will carry you there if I have to. And none of us will enjoy that.

[Aaaaand she's not kidding. Sorry.]

[thechoiceisyours]

Uh, yeah, I'd rather you didn't.

[He's... Not going to really doubt it's possible.]

[mismanagement]

I imagine not.

It will be happening if you don't see the doctor. Today.

[thechoiceisyours]

Look, I appreciate that you care and all that, but I can deal with it, okay? I'm not just being stubborn for no reason.

[Okay so part of it might be him being stubborn for no reason but he also has some other reasons why he hasn't done much yet.]

[YES GOOD BACK EMILY UP ON THIS. Backing Emily up and annoying Chris when Emily is trying to annoy him are both very good things to do!]

Thank you.

Chris, listen to us.

[mismanagement]

And how long exactly has this been going on? I shall adjust my annoyance accordingly.

[unfollowing]

However long he's been here. He got hurt on the mountain, where we were before we got dragged here.

[mismanagement]

....

Excuse me a moment, I have someone to drag to the clinic.

[unfollowing]

[YES YES GOOD EXCELLENT DO IT. Emily will follow and cheer you on holy shit. Chris finally gets medical attention in the most ridiculous way possible. This is fucking priceless.]

Be my guest.

Re: Chris

[cashlin]

You're pretty all right. Thanks for staying cool in a place like this.

Re: Chris

[thechoiceisyours]

Aw, thanks. Same to you, even if you did try to kill me through skateramp-related manslaughter.

[cowardley]

I am so, so grateful you're here with me, Chris. I don't think I could handle any of it without you.

[thechoiceisyours]

Yeah. Yeah, same, though I wish... You know, it weren't like, such a shitty place.

[Her being here puts her in danger, even if he's selfishly glad she's with him.]

[cowardley]

If it makes you feel any better it's kind of like we're in a cool video game, you know? Endless respawns, magic, cool weapons. [ If we just think of this like the bad part of an adventure, then they can get through it, right? ] I mean, it's a... it's a ton of bad, but it's not all bad.

[thechoiceisyours]

[He laughs a little at that.]

It is kinda', yeah. Though it'd be nice if I got like, a level up or some skillpoints to spend or something.

Also the drop rate from monsters here sucks.

[cowardley]

In real life, we just call leveling up getting older and learning. [ Chris, you're such a nerd, but she likes that. A lot. ]

But you're right about the drop rate. We need loot other than dead monster carcass.
