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'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.

As you should.

Ask Blue. See what she says.
