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.

For just being a dude with stuff, you're not so bad. You definitely seem like the management type. Glad to have you working on the power station.

[hybridification]

See, look! Someone appreciates my skills and hard work.

Thanks, by the way.

[synthedick]

Don't mention it. I thought someone ought to tell you you're doing a good job.

[Because he gets the feeling Rhys probably doesn't hear that often.]

[hybridification]

[Aw, what a sweetheart.]

Hey, you too, man. Couldn't have built that hydroelectric thing without you.

[fleshing]

SUSPICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hybridification]

???? No, you?

[bluffed]

There are so many conversations we need to have.

So.

So many.

[hybridification]

Sounds great, and I'll be right back to have all those, I'm really looking forward to it, it's gonna be super awesome, but first I have to go do this other really important secret thing and it might take about a day to three years to finish, sorry!

[bluffed]

You're such a pansy sometimes! Hyperion's balls but no backbone!

[hybridification]

I am not a pansy? I just have- important work to do somewhere else!

[murderpotato]

If you get any more fuckin' people trying to kill you, I'm gonna fuckin' kill you.

[hybridification]

Please, don't. I'm so done with all this animosity, man.

[murderpotato]

Stop fuckin' pissing people off, then.

And how the fuck did you lose ten million fuckin' dollars?

What is wrong with you.

[hybridification]

I think you mean 'what is wrong with everyone from our universe'? In case you haven't noticed, literally everyone else in this hellscape is more well adjusted than us.

[closes mouth.]

Okay, fair.

[glacius]

You are a very... [a pause as he tries to figure out what to say, filled with some awkward, pointless gesturing before he just gives up,] ... strange little man.

But you helped me out of the colosseum, so I suppose I owe you thanks.

[hybridification]

I'm actually pretty tall. So I don't really think that 'little' is appropriate here, dude.

[glacius]

[Little is relative, Rhys. And that is a very, very tall (and muscular) ice alien peering skeptically down at you.]

[unfollowing]

It wasn't personal.

[hybridification]

It kind of felt personal!!!

[circumitus]

[MOTHERFUCKER YOU NEED JESUS]

Thanks. [For stuff.]

[hybridification]

[YEAH PRETTY MUCH ALWAYS.]

Hey, someone has to make this a better place, right?
