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.

[Spoilers: Rey could pretty much use all the advice right now - and forever.]

[synthedick]

You don't have to take on the world all by yourself, you know.

[circumitus]

But it's so much easier than relying on other people.

[Hahaha no it isn't.]

[synthedick]

And what happens when you can't rely on yourself?

[circumitus]

Have never had anyone better to rely on.

[Liar.]

[tongueamok]

[Whispers sleeves into the wind.]

[circumitus]

[Whispers "no" right back into that wind.]

[tongueamok]

[Do you know the depths of his displeasure right now, Rey? DO YOU???]

[circumitus]

[Like she cares.]

[mismanagement]

You don't need to drink alone.

[circumitus]

That's one habit that's easy to avoid. Drinking alone tends to lead to bad... things.

[mismanagement]

That it does.

5/5 stars

[foundafamily]

Thanks for not killin' the kid.

yaaay

[circumitus]

Wouldn't have followed through with it even if she wasn't a kid.

[foundafamily]

Well, now I'm gonna have to tell you you're too merciful.



That was a joke.

[circumitus]

Appreciate the clarification.

[No, really. She would have otherwise thought that he was being serious.]

[dogsanddaughters]

You're scary. But. Uh. Thanks for not killing me or hurting my dog.

[circumitus]

You're... welcome?

[That's what people are supposed to say when someone expresses gratitude, right? But this is such a very "special" thing to be grateful for, pff.]

[dogsanddaughters]

[Miriam shrugs. The scary lady is a little less terrifying now that she knows the gods were screwing with people. Slightly.] You coulda hurt me but you didn't. Even though they made you want to. So that's good. You're probably okay.

Barnaby's gonna growl at you for a while, though. Sorry.

I wanna blow some junk up together, you look like you need it.

[circumitus]

[...Dude.]

Could have done with blowing some stuff up since yesterday.

Re: Rey

[wormintheglass]

You make me want to wrap around you protectively and make you cocoa. It's quite a novelty.

[circumitus]

[Wow.]

That's... different.

[Pretty sure wouldn't mind if want?]

[glacius]

It is good to meet someone else who is quiet and sensible and can keep a calm mind when things go to hell around here.

[circumitus]

Seem to have it better than some, in that regard.

[Welp.]
