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.

You seem entirely too friendly. It makes me wonder if that dog of yours really is a bear in disguise.

[dogsanddaughters]

You have a problem with bears, dude.

Besides, if I'm nice, then people will like me!

[tongueamok]

There is such a thing as being too nice.

[dogsanddaughters]

Says who?

[tongueamok]

Says- I mean, it's not some hard law or anything. But those who are too nice are the ones who get taken advantage of.

[dogsanddaughters]

And who says I'm not the one taking advantage? [See that innocent looking smile? Those puppy dog eyes? Yeah. This is the face of a con artist. You're lucky things are weird or Miriam would already have gone for your wallet, Carlisle. If you had a wallet.]

[tongueamok]

Er.

[He did not think about the fact her sweet personality might all be some kind of a facade.]

Good point.

[dogsanddaughters]

[Miriam just beams at him.] Thank you!

[tongueamok]

[FOREVER UNSURE IF SINCERELY NICE OR FAKING NICE.]

[foundafamily]

Whatever you do, you'll knock 'em dead.

[dogsanddaughters]

[Get ready for the tackle-hug in 3..2..1]

[foundafamily]

[Well, he supposes he'll endure this for her sake.]

I don't know if I should trust you. How is it you are still so young?

[dogsanddaughters]

What'da you mean?

[whichend]

Anyone who is able to be fleeing for their life and still discuss petting their dog seems youthful to me.

[dogsanddaughters]

Well nobody was tryin' to kill me then.

[whichend]

I suppose.

Do not worry, I admire that quality. It's not something I've seen in a while.

[dogsanddaughters]

Guess you come from a bad place, then.

[whichend]

This place is better. But that place was familiar.

[dogsanddaughters]

Yeah, I get that. 'least back you home know the rules.
