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 swear like it's your first language, you have terrible taste in music, and you think internet memes are the highest form of humor, and yet somehow you're still one of the most attractive people I've ever met.

[W.... ow?]

Swearing is my first language, you like my music, and the internet memes demand an apology.

[Pause.]

That last one is fine, though.

[unknowable]

The only thing I like about your music is that it reminds me of you. And frankly, the memes are the ones that owe me an apology.

[greywaren]

Sorry, all I heard from that is 'I like your music'.

[He shrugs.]

Too bad we can't get internet in Hadriel. I bet there's been loads of dumb shit in the last nine months that we haven't been able to see.

[unknowable]

Every day I think about how unfair it is that you can't watch videos of cute baby animals falling over here.

[greywaren]

I do not watch videos of baby animals falling over and struggling to get back up when their legs are too small.

[unknowable]

Well, yeah, because there aren't any here. It's tragic.

I did take a video of Chainsaw building a little nest out of your socks, though. I could send it to you.

[greywaren]

I was wondering why my socks were all fucked up.

[You're the Worst.]

...I mean, you could. It's up to you though, whatever.

[unknowable]

I figured she had partial custody of them because she came out of your head. Plus, it was really cute.

[And the socks were a noble sacrifice.]

I'll get it to you.

[greywaren]

I think that might be stretching the legality of dream creatures, a little.

[but:]

Sure. I mean, whenever. It's not that big of a deal.

i am. so sorry

What's an Internet meme?

noooooo save yourself arya

[unknowable]

Something awful and completely useless. For some reason, Ronan likes them.

[whichend]

Like dresses?

[unknowable]

A lot like dresses, I guess, except even more useless. And silly.

[whichend]

More useless and silly?

That sounds like torture.

[unknowable]

They are. Save yourself and avoid them forever.
