14 HMD meme

  ☑ 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


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!

Thank you very much for this. Chell is very difficult for me and you are absolutely right in what you say. I am trying to come up with variety for her, so I will take your suggestion into mind and look up some body language charts.

This helps me a lot and I hope to improve her in the future. I have been struggling and have been considering dropping her, so if I end up doing so, please know that it is not because of this critique. Otherwise I will do my best to improve her. Thank you again!

Your Rhyme is seriously awesome. You do a great job with her voice - every tag I've seen from her is absolutely spot on!

I wasn't at Ax long and we only had the one (very short) thread before I dropped, but I did read some of your other threads so! Having seen the movie Mattie's from I just wanted to mention you're doing an awesome job with her. Her voice in particular is spot on, I was pretty blown away actually!

Your Daring Do is a lot of fun to bounce off of, although if I had to give crit it would probably be this;

Because you play so many characters in so many games, you don't have the focus (you can't with this many) to infuse each incarnation with an engaging personality. Daring is a character with lots of shenanigans potential in a game like GB, full of stuff to discover (and she even has her sidekick Dash to help), but your replies sometimes come off as generic, which isn't a fault of your writing, simply a matter of being stretched too thin.

Unless you're like, Kubo Tite (and even then), you cannot keep track of every individual character's feelings and experiences at each specific game, because that would mean keeping not just each separate muse but multiple versions of some muses, with entirely different memories and feelings and casts. Maybe you've just been too nice to turn down people who ask you to play in another game with them, but you're playing in ten roleplays, Riki, and you just can't develop characters over that many settings.

I can only comment on Daring and Twilight personally, since I haven't played with anyone else you have, but sometimes they feel somewhat restricted to their base canon personality/traits. Dash has been in GB for something like 6 months now, and she's gotten to know a bunch of people here-- I especially loved playing her off characters who would be the most confused by a talking blue pegasus. She's also competitive, which is another angle I can throw at people.

Daring has a ton of potential for CR-- she's basically Pony Lara Croft! I think it would actually add a lot more "life" to your threads with her if you tried to write her in a British voice, even just mentally. Or make her like Indie, or one of the adventurers she's clearly inspired by. You're one of the very few Daring players out there, which gives you more opportunities to make her your own.

anyway tl;dr i really do love chatting with you and playing off of you but i'd love to see you when you're really invested in a game, instead of ten games with each holding a small percentage of your attention and CR.

I haven't intro'd either of my characters at Destiny Strings but I will be soon! For Japan if you saw him at Ataraxion or Zodion before then and had comments, feel free to leave them as well. All of them have private HMDs in their journals.

I will crit you for taking your Tony away from me. It was very rude and inconsiderate of you and idk if I can ever forgive you for it.

[onehundredbeers]

even after the stasering. even after you shot him twice in the heart.

[unparental]

I KNOW MY HIATUS IS AT THE WORST TIME FOR OUR CAST

but so you know I've been stalking your Erica all around and I love her, and can't wait to throw myself at you icly with Peter and everyone else.

You are amazing. I know that's super bland but you are.

Your Tony kills me, I wish I could express properly the joy I get from your tags. Every time I read them I laugh because I can hear it in RDJ's voice, not only what he says but the speech patterns, the pauses, gesturing, the fluctuation in tone, even the verbal ticks. There is a lot to Tony, not just drinking and the IM suit and I love that you delve so deep into his personality, why he does what he does, the deeper reasons and the subtle hints at what goes through his mind. Tony can be written rather flatly or he can be written with the depth he deserves. You make him awesome but don't forget his flaws, always keeping mind of his inner monologue and reasoning and guh I'm just so glad you're willing to play with me because I am delighted every time I get a tag from you.

I THINK YOU SHOULD IMPROVE BY... idk. Tagging me more? To be quite frank, your Tony puts me over the moon so I haven't got any complaints.

NO RICKON DON'T JUDGE ME :(

[roadblasted]

Man, after 2 years, your Veser is still awesome. I really REALLY commend you for continuing to play him even after his canon just suddenly stopped. When the same thing happened for me with Heloise, I got depressed and it really caused her muse to fade out. So serious kudos on that, because I love Ves and don't ever want him to go away <3

and gosh Randall. really looking forward to more of him again, such a great slimy bad guy from one of my favorite Pixar movies that you also play wonderfully.

AND WOW were the D_M threads I go to have with Clef and Oogie great. I especially adore your Oogie and I still can't believe he's an expy of Twoey that just made everything so much funnier

but yeah, you are and your gang are just so amazingly quality. love ya, seriously love ya <3

god i hate coming to a hmd meme and giving asspats but

you are basically great! i just love soysauce so much. if he was a canon character i would obsess myself with his canon.

[queentakesknight]

...yeah, you're pretty much spot on with this. Even I've noticed that I have trouble saying no to people then I kinda got clingy from there. It's a mess. For things to be sane again, I'll probably have to go through another round of cuts and drops, which will essentially be one of those "ripping off the band-aid" deals. If I could somehow trim it to 4 or 5 then things will likely be more in my favor, but that's a lot harder than it sounds. Mayfield is ending soon, but to be fair, I haven't posted there in so long, it doesn't really matter too much.

As for Daring...yeah, I can understand that. I should probably replay some Tomb Raider games or watch the Indy movies so I can get a little more character going for her.
