☑ HOW'S MY DRIVING MEME

All of us have those moments where we are uncertain about our characterization. Sometimes feedback is the best medicine! So, step on up and post your roleplay accounts and the games you have them in. Let others come by and tell you how you're doing and let others know what you think! Give legitimate reasons and not just "I love you!" Save that for our monthly love memes.


     » Anon is enabled but do not abuse it!
     » Don't circlejerk.
     » Flaming will not be tolerated, play nicely!
     » Remember to give critique

!PLEASE READ: There have been instances of anon bullying & threats in both the HMD and Love memes, so we wanted to stress how important it is that you bring this to us if it happens. Don't ignore something just because you think it's "too small" to bring to us.


If there are any problems, please report them HERE and we will take care of it as soon as we can.

I think you're pretty good with him. My only crit would be that sometimes I think you're tempted to go OOC for the sake of cute and fluffy threads or shipping.

Now that, I can definitely definitely see, and was actually just thinking the same thing. Well, not so much with shipping because I only ever ship him in memes and those always end up being depressing as shit because I apparently hate myself, but in cuter threads, I feel myself doing it subconsciously. I'm pretty sure I've started doing it as a means of getting a break from how often Arthur is just upset with the world (Medieval Angst: because everything sucks and we try to fix it with leeches), so I'm wondering if maybe this means I need to step back from the heavier plot lines and get him involved with more light-hearted (without being fluffy) stuff so that I don't end up in this rut of depression on one hand and OOC forced happiness on the other.

But I definitely have noticed myself doing this, so I thank you for pointing it out! Now I just need to figure out a way to go about, well, not doing that. (thinking) I will work on it!

Oh man, after-thought because I am freaking awful and oblivious, if you wouldn't mind, I would really appreciate it if you could point out of specific examples of where you feel I've done this! I can think of one thread in specific, but you also mentioned shipping so I'm wondering if there are several more instances as well. I've also always got anon enabled/comments screened in his journal-HMD, if you feel the need for more privacy or find anything later on that you think needs my attention.

Again, thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to bring this up to me.
