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 know these circumstances aren't ideal, but for what it's worth, I'm glad you're around.

... Oh. Ah... thank you. You know, I think I feel the same about you. It is good to have someone who understands some of the difficulties that I have faced.

Those of us who aren't quite human have to stick together. If we don't look out for one another, there might come a time where no one will.

[glacius]

Indeed. Perhaps this is my own form of bias, but I find it easier to relate to you knowing that you are not entirely human. You have a different perspective on things... on more similar to my own. I will... "stick" with you, [oh god sorry Nick he is not good at human expressions,] particularly if you are on the receiving end of unfair judgment simply because of what you are.

[He smiles. He knows what you mean, pal.]

I've had my fair share of 'unfair judgment' back home. I'm hoping my luck will turn around here, but it's good to know someone has my back.
