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'm sorry

[foundafamily]

You're pretty weird and you should stop spyin' on people. It's creepy.

Neverrrrr

[tongueamok]

Spying on people? You have got to be joking.

[foundafamily]

I'm not jokin'. It's disrespectful and somebody's gonna pop you in the face if you don't quit it.

[tongueamok]

I haven't been spying on people, and the very notion that I would is ridiculous.

[foundafamily]

That sounds like something somebody suspicious would say.

[tongueamok]

Do you really think I have it in me to spy on people and not get caught?

[foundafamily]

...That's a good point.

You really have no confidence, huh?

[tongueamok]

I am simply aware of my capabilities, and their limits.

[That's a no.]

[foundafamily]

Good for you, I guess.

[dogsanddaughters]

You're fun! And your magic is cool. Though you seem kinda jumpy and a tiny bit obsessed with bears in a bad way.

[tongueamok]

I'd deny being jumpy, but that is a fair assessment.

[Not commenting on the bears, though.]

[dogsanddaughters]

It's okay, buddy. You want some weed? Weed helps with that.

[tongueamok]

Weed? Why in the world would I want weeds?

[dogsanddaughters]

To get high? Ohhh, wait, you probably don't call it that. Ummm, do you have some herbs or anything that you smoke and then it makes you feel really good?

[tongueamok]

I'm no alchemist, Miriam. If I want to forget my problems, I'll drink.

[dogsanddaughters]

Aww. But it's kinda like drinking!

[tongueamok]

But you apparently smoke it, which makes it not very much like drinking at all.

[dogsanddaughters]

But it kinda does the same thing as getting you drunk?

i'm also sorry

[circumitus]

Appreciate the healing, but you really need to mind your own business on other matters.

[Like trying to tell her not to do reckless things with her life YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF HER.]

You guys are the best, okay.

[tongueamok]

Like what, pray tell?

<3

[circumitus]

...Like everything you seem to think you know.

[Rey is totally different from that other Rey Carlisle knows, okok?]

[tongueamok]

[Both Reys have an aversion to sleeves, though. That makes them pretty much the same person in his book.]

It's not what I 'think I know.' It's what I do know. My memory isn't the faulty one here.

[liquid_serpent]

Maybe you should stop with the religious garbage.

[tongueamok]

Just because it's above your level of understanding doesn't make it 'garbage.'
