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.

[synthedick]

I think this city would be in a lot worse shape without you here.

[mismanagement]

['scuse her, she'll be blushing forever]

I--I'm sure others have been equally as important!

[synthedick]

Maybe, but you've really taken the reins on trying to get things in order around here, especially when it comes to keeping the streets safe.

[mismanagement]

Someone has to. These people deserve to be safe.

[synthedick]

They do. The gods might not see it that way, but if we don't look out for each other, then who will?

[mismanagement]

[She nods, more seriously this time.] We're more than food. No matter what they think of us.

[unfollowing]

Loosen up a little. You're not actually that much of a bitch, maybe? But you need to chill a little more.

[mismanagement]

I do believe that's the first time I've been called a bitch as a compliment.

[unfollowing]

I'm full of surprises like that.

[mismanagement]

Yes. Surprises.

[unfollowing]

Oh come on. Are you judging me without even really knowing me? I mean, it's not like it's the first time anyone's done that, but still.

[mismanagement]

I'm judging you based on the interactions we've already had.

[circumitus]

Would probably be in a worse place if not for you.

[Ergh. FEELINGS, though.]

[mismanagement]

[Feelings are Hard.]

You are not allowed to die. It would be best if you remembered that.

[circumitus]

[They so are. Why else would Rey be avoiding them right now?]

Lucky for you, am not that easy to kill.

[Should be lucky for Rey as well, but. You know.]

[mismanagement]

[These two have that in common.]

True. We have that in our favor.

[circumitus]

[Feelings are so lame, mang.]

Was shot in the head recently. Would now be a terrible time to admit that?

[cashlin]

When we get out of this dump, come back with me. It'll be good to have you around. You could learn a lot about Pandora, and we'd keep you safe.

...Also, I'd miss you, I guess.

[mismanagement]

[Oh, Lilith.]

I think I'd like that. Perhaps you could teach me how to be a vault-hunter.

[cashlin]

Done annnnd done. We'll have a chat with Marcus and get you something nice and lightweight. It's a little crazy back there, but you could totally handle it.

[mismanagement]

[Maketh laughs a little.] I'd like to meet your friends. After this place, I think I could take almost anything.

[cashlin]

They'll like you-- I know they will. All we need is a ticket back home.

[wormintheglass]

Someone needs to unbraid your hair and kiss you in public.

[mismanagement]

I -- oh.
