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.

Adam, as your friend, it's my duty to tell you that I think you have a problem.

You're addicted to working too hard. Seriously. We are teenagers, and therefore should be messy. Chores do not need done this badly, believe me.

Someone needs to make sure the floor isn't covered in socks and things don't grow on our plates. I'm still not convinced Ronan knows how to do laundry.

I don't even wear socks!

[ ...this will improve his argument about having good fashion sense, surely. ]

And he does, I promise you. He'll get out of it if he can, though. You'd better not let him take advantage.

[unknowable]

Don't your toes ever get cold?

[These are the important questions.]

I don't mind doing stuff for him sometimes. You know I'm not gonna let him push me around too much.

[quaerit]

I wear shoes!

[ Excellent shoes, for the record. ]

And you'd better not. That said, if you can get him doing chores regularly, you're probably a miracle worker.

[unknowable]

I guess that's technically what those are, yeah.

[Dubious.]

He helps out sometimes. I doubt even I have enough magic to manage more than that.
