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.

I can't concentrate when you're that appealing, Jane. You have to stop looking at me like that.

[ampliat]

Which look are we talking about exactly?

Because I think I should use it more.

[quaerit]

Christ. Most of them, if we're honest.

On the subject of things that distract me, we should probably talk about that lamp-shaped dress, too. Highly distracting.

[ampliat]

Damn. I left my best lamp-shade dresses at home.

[quaerit]

I miss them terribly.

No, I actually like all your clothes, though. I'm sorry, I don't have any advice. Don't change? That would do.

[unknowable]

You have no idea how glad I am that someone else even remotely sensible is here. I missed you.

[ampliat]

I never had the chance to miss you, so I guess that makes me the lucky one. I'm glad I'm with you guys, even if it's here.

[unknowable]

It's better with all of us here. More balanced. Less lonely.

[ampliat]

If it's ever my choice, I won't leave you. Any of you.

[unknowable]

I feel the same way.

Thanks, Blue.

[greywaren]

You're still kind of a brat, but I guess that's fine.

Gansey is happier with you around, anyway. Even if he is sleeping on the couch.

[ampliat]

Admit it, you'd be bored if I weren't.

Thank you for caring about Gansey's happiness, too.

[greywaren]

I'd probably like you less if you weren't.

[=_=]

And now you just sound dumb and sentimental. I thought that me giving a shit about him was a given by now.

[ampliat]

I think you just admitted you like me.

Sometimes you have to say the important things out loud.

Don't let it go to your head, anyway. It can't afford to get any bigger. [ Better? ]

[greywaren]

No, I said it's possible for me to like you less. Pay attention, Sargent.

I don't have to say shit. If you guys don't know by now, then I guess you're never going to.

[whichend]

Do not ever make me wear a dress.
