the | in character | critique meme


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.

I probably would.

[Tbh.]

And then I'd have to find a better song to torment you with.

Better yet: we could improve your collection with minimal effort for the greater good. I'll make you a playlist! Literally everyone will thank me for it.

Gansey, I love you. I do.

[Earnest.]

But your taste in music is so bland it feels like I'm listening to the auditory equivalent of tofu every time I get into your car.

[ Pointing at. ]

Tofu is very good for you. And not unpleasant under certain circumstances.

Besides which, my music is classic rock! It's impossible to dislike the Beatles. I think you're just being contrary.

The only people our age who like the Beatles are stoners, tryhards, and people whose parents did not know how to raise them properly. You do know that music continued to exist after the sixties, right?

Ugh, yes, and then we had to endure the seventies until the eighties came along. Don't get me started on the nineties.

What? Come on.

Unbreak my heart, say you love me again...

Power ballads?!

...Well. It's a step up from electronica, at least.

I'm offended that you don't like my music, when everyone who made the crap you listen to is dead.
