  ☑ 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!

I'm not saying he shouldn't be influenced by those around him; I'm looking at how much he's being influenced. Even if it's people he trusts, does he still have misgivings about the things they do? Are there things that they do that he abjectly refuses to do, no matter how much they encourage him, because it's not something he's interested in? Again, I admit I'm coming at this with an information deficit, but from what I've been told it seems that he'll do whatever his friends are doing or whatever they encourage him to do without being critical of it (okay not literally whatever, as I severely doubt he's going to turn into a serial killer if all his friends are doing it). That does make an awful lot of sense for some teenagers, but I'm not sure that really fits Link.

I am not sure where this whole "Link is being horribly influenced by his friends" is coming from. Link is quite independent and makes plenty of his own decisions during his day to day life. He's been very critical of the situation between OoT Link and Maraich, taking sides and being upset by their behavior because he doesn't approve of how either of them have been handling it. He doesn't like the fact that any of them kill animals for their food, and doesn't partake in eating meat with them. How is any of this being heavily influenced by his friends? How is one negative behavior as a result of his friend's influence cause for this concern that he's "too" influenced by them? Is there something else he's doing that's making it seem like he is besides the drinking? Because if it's just the drinking, then I don't know what to tell you beyond what we've already discussed.

Well, as I said, most of this is coming from a deficit of information. I'm only going by what you've told me, which, on my end, made it seem like he was going with the flow. But, again, that's why I brought it up, because I wasn't sure if this was an isolated thing or if it was a theme--which it isn't. I think I might be seeing things this way because his alcohol habits are brought up a lot in conversation, which makes it seem to me like it's a bigger problem than it is. But, again, that's all due to a lack of info.

It comes up frequently because it is starting to become a problem, and Link's CR should be aware so it doesn't seem like it's a sudden thing with him. But again, it's part of the development I've been working on with him. Since you keep bringing up a lack of info, I'd like to encourage you to go to this post and read over some of the threads he's had in the past few months, particularly the ones with crimson_flames, maraich and young_but_oh_so_old.
