  ☑ 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.

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

!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.

Also, please be considerate of the players browsing this meme! Try to limit the amount of graphics and sparkle texts you use while commenting to others!

Yesss all the analysis. Just wait until we get to the end of the season. So much fodder there. :V

But anyway no thank you!! I'm really glad that you like my Mordred. I'm having a really good time hanging with Som's Merlin cast and talking to you guys. <3 <3

Please feel free to hit me with anything you can, in games past or present--I'd love to see what common problems are, and how I can improve them.

[effulge]

Not a problem. I've tended to forget myself when I've applied for new characters in the past (or have gotten on a kick about one of them), so I realize that my ramblings "spilleth over", if you will. As I've a feeling this about Gilgamesh in particular (I hate to be so presumptuous, but that's the first one that comes to mind), I can at least give you the consolidation of game-related plurks. Otherwise, I can't stem the tide from outside sources, so please bear with us.

ALL DAY
EVERY DAY

I have a friend who used to play him and it got a little overwhelming, so I can understand dropping him based on the usual supply vs demand rules and just being disillusioned with canon. Gently stares into the abyss, etc. :|a But I very much enjoy stalking, so please continue to be around -- at least long enough until there's a backlog.

Yes, it is a very Quality Comic. I used to have the last panel as my default, but it stopped being funny after a while (it's funny again, though).

[stillplaying]

Kate is spot on. And our thread is going to be *amazing*, no matter how long it takes!

[doubleoohbaby]

awww ty. i will try and get my ass into gear over the weekend

[samantha_grey]

*ahem* So, I'm going to be doing this again on the HMD on Mondsay, but whyyyyy not an appetizer?

Eridan
There are several things that I like about the way that you handle Eridan. I'm still building up canon familiarity, and I haven't actually watched Eridan in action that much (He really does have a short presence in the series in comparison to some). However, there are some things that I think stand out.

One - You do not avoid the less savory aspects of him as a character, or make any pretense towards apologizing/defending them. Eridan as you play him displays very serious obsessive tendencies, ridiculous levels of megalomania and is violently possessive. You do not avoid the fact that he is a murderer, and a basically remorseless one at that, a whining little primadonna and an unbelievably self-centered jackass with massive scales of paranoid delusions at points. While you play some of this up for comedic purposes (which suits Homestuck as a canon), you don't shy away from the fact that these very serious psychological issues are indicative of Eridan not being a good person by any stretch.

Two - You play well off of the dichotomy of human and non-human behavior without being horrendously campy about it. Actually, most of the homestuck cast members at Asgard have been good about this. The comedy doesn't overwhelm interactions and it isn't silly to the point where interaction can't be taken seriously at all. You explicitly draw parallels at points between human society and Troll society, but at many junctures make it clear just how foreign the concept is. It can make Eridan hard to understand, but in a way that makes sense ICly.

Three - You pace yourself well. We've sort of gone over this in the past via plurk, but really it's so hard to find people who can pace out developments for characters in a logical fashion. I am beyond accustomed to people having their characters fall "deeply, madly in love" within an IC week because the game only ran for an IC month, and they wanted the ship to play out. In fact, you could say that's the norm that I'm used to. Your Eridan? He is STILL jerkily working on steps of early stages in friendship with characters like Draco and Euri, and they've been working with him off and on for months now. His developing relationships, particularly cross-canon ones, have shown that you don't immediately jump the gun to stage 2 or 3 in any sort of interactions with characters, but try to pace out interactions and relationship developments. The fact that I've seen Eridan do this in all of his relationships, not simply the budding romance with Sam is actually very pleasing to me.

Overall, you've taken a character who is obviously difficult to get into ongoing interactions with people because... well, he's Eridan Ampora, and persistently had him available at a reasonable pace without dumbing down the personality. Really, that is commendable... and I'll probably end up saying something to this effect again in a few days.

He almost certainly is. Admittedly, he's a trickier character to get into cross canon scenes I'm certain, so look for opportunities post-Ragnarok. I'm sure some will come along.
