dankmemes | the | in character

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're my best friend. I'd follow you into hell.

But Gansey, the polo shirts really are awful.

[ Adam how could you betray him like this. ]

I always thought they were dapper. I don't like to look too casual.

[It's for the good of everyone.]

You look better a little casual. More like a real teenager.

'A little casual'. I look like a mess when I'm a little casual.

Surely this is not what people want.

I hate to destroy your illusions, but I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people who'd want that.

[ Tragically. ]

Disappointing.

I shall take this opinion under advisement, Parrish.

You're such a fucking loser sometimes, man.

I think you'll have to be more specific.

[SHRUG.]

You wear khakis.

I fail to see how that makes me a loser. They're very practical.

[ Pause. ]

And you wear muscle shirts, for Christ's sake!

Because muscle shirts look good on me.

[The implication, being of course, that khakis do not look good on you Gansey, sorry.]

Also: being practical. That's what makes you a loser. You and Parrish both could stand to take a lesson in just doing shit for the hell of it.

[ ?! ]

Need I remind you that this is the very habit that leaves you scabbed and bruised more than two thirds of the time? Parrish and I are familiar with self-preservation.

Or at least I am. By all accounts the two of you shouldn't be let near a shopping cart without me.

You inspire me every day of my life.

Jane.

[ He's...kind of shy now, no one look at him. ]

I'd settle for making you happy. But that's good, too.

You do that one, too.

You're brilliant, Richard Campbell Gansey III. You're intelligent and bright and hopeful and so just... Gansey.

It's amazing.

And you're Blue Sargent. You're warm, and caring, and occasionally frightening. But that's a good thing.

Do you know the thing I love most about you?

You make me think of home. Just by looking at me, or talking to me. You take me right back there, and I'm home. No one's ever done that for me before.

I know that feeling. It's the same one I get with you. It's why I can always sleep after we talk at night. It's why I can't sleep if we don't.

Please teach me more things some time! I will do something in return!

You don't have to do anything, Clear. I liked talking to you.

I do not like the way you see worlds like mine.

That does not mean I dislike you.

I think you should educate yourself.

I was trying to, and you threatened me.

That's not how education works.

That is how mine did.

I'm sorry, then.

I didn't mean to offend you. I know that I did, but I don't know what else I can say to make it right.

You do not need to say anything. I am good at holding grudges, but this is not one I will keep, not even for a little while.
