The IC Critque Meme!

[inconstantly]

Have you ever wanted to tell your fellow COST recruits what you think of them without consequence? Does their cavalier attitude toward murder, or lack of any critical thinking skills, or naive optimism cause frustration? Or is it something even more minor that really irks you, like that your roommate keeps borrowing your clothes or your friend won't use punctuation when they type?

WELL THEN--

THE LOWDOWN
• Post a header with your character's name.
• 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!
• 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??
• Feel free to assume there's a compulsion to speak their minds if your character's not usually the type to give unsolicited advice.
• A probably unnecessary reminder, but just remember, this is not a place for OOC crit! There are other, more appropriate channels for that.

Pull the stick out of your ass and use it as a spine instead. You can do that, right?

[jailbirds]

Shouldn't it go further up his ass if it's supposed to be his spine?

[bloodings]

Hahaha, yeah! Go on and push it up there more! Use another stick if you have to!

[gerechtigkeit]

...what?

[GET A FUCKING SPINE, SIEGFRIED. THAT'S WHAT SHE'S SAYING.]

[bloodings]

I'm telling you to get a spine, you perpetually apologizing dumbass! There's a limit to how pathetic someone can be!

[gerechtigkeit]

...sorry. It's never been a focus of mine. I've always felt that taking care of something like that was being too selfish on my behalf.

[bloodings]

Alright, fine. I get it. You just need to find something else to say instead of "sorry".

How about... "screw you"? So the next time you go to apologize to someone, you'll insult them instead! That's way better!

[gerechtigkeit]

How does insulting someone make this better?

[THAT'S NOT HELPING, MORDRED......]

[bloodings]

It's the opposite of apologizing! See, I just solved all your problems with being a pushover!

[gerechtigkeit]

I'm not going to insult people to stop being a "pushover," there's no point to that.

[inconstantly]

Get this man a decent record collection.

[gerechtigkeit]

A record collection..? That's something involving the bands you were speaking of, correct?

[pointedlook]

The apologizing is really a lot. Probably somewhere in the realm of too much.

[gerechtigkeit]

Sorry. It's a habit I have.

[pointedlook]

I'm going to start tallying them and give you a report of the numbers at the end of the week.

[gerechtigkeit]

[BALKING.] A tally isn't necessary.

[pointedlook]

Starting to think it's extra necessary, now.

[lefthandfree]

i know our meeting came out of requirement, trying to do what needed to be done, and our friendship came because i was enamored with the fact that you’re a knight, but i can promise you now that even if that is how it appeared on the surface, you are much more than just a knight to me, and it is ultimately what i find such joy in knowing someone like you.

you’re powerful in a way many will never understand, and i see it in you too, that you’re afraid somehow. maybe that coupled with your upbringing is why you end up apologizing so much, needlessly to a point of self deprecation. not that being humble is anything bad, but it’s damaging you, and it hurts to see someone with your inner strength do this to yourself.

you hold the power to move mountains. i don’t mean with your magic or whatever, but by the very nature of who you are. the world needs you, likely more than you need it, and i wish you could understand that the same way that i can see it so clearly every time we talk.

1/2

[gerechtigkeit]

No, it's...

[BUCKY YOU'RE DESTROYING HIM WITH THIS KINDNESS.]

[gerechtigkeit]

I caused a great amount of tragedy in my life. I nearly started a war. When I learned that I had inadvertently caused this, I chose to die as a way to solve the problem. I caused my wife so much grief after my death, she sold her soul to the devil and went on a rampage- she killed her brother for sending me to Iceland in the first place, and killed my best friend for killing me, even though I had asked him to help me die.

I don't deserve whatever kindness you think I do. I'm not a good person, Bucky- good people don't cause tragedies.

[prizeneck]

I'm still on the fence whether you're the way you are because you haven't realized your potential or if it's because you have.

[gerechtigkeit]

How I act has nothing to do with my potential, I can assure you of that. It's... mostly for my own reasons.

[prizeneck]

Are those reasons related to something you've done?

[gerechtigkeit]

Something I caused. In truth it's more than one thing, but yes.
