HOW'S MY DRIVING CONCRIT MEME

This is Synodiporia's first HMD meme! (etc etc write intro if you like or it isn't necessary, your choice!!) MEME GUIDELINES ★ This meme is completely optional! If you're not into it, that's fine. ★ Comment here with the characters you play. ★ Post to other players that you have critique to offer. Other players will tell you how you're doing, too. ★ challenge While it is okay to simply praise others, this is not meant to be a lovememe and we ask you do not solely use it as one. For every good comment you post, post one thing that the player can improve on! If you choose not to do this, please remember this is meant to be a constructive cricitism meme. ★ There is a difference between giving concrit and just talking (without helpful advice), or saying a bunch of good things but not giving anything people can improve on. If you can't say why you like or why you want to praise someone's character or cannot offer suggestions for improvement, your commentary should be reconsidered before posting here. ★ Be polite on both sides. Present your criticism constructively rather than attacking or insulting (telling someone how they are doing things wrong but never explaining how they are doing it, giving examples, or how they could improve is not constructive criticism). If given criticism, please take it maturely and understand it is meant to see you improve with your character rather than try to be mean to you. We all want help here! Please feel free to use the code below to write your comment up! it's highly suggested you put your name in the subject line and then list your characters, but you may do it however you wish. <b>character:</b> CHARACTER NAME // SERIES <b>character journal:</b> <user name="journal"> <b>personal hmd:</b> if you have a personal hmd on your journal, feel free to link there as well to give people another option for communicating. <b>notes:</b> (here you can let people know if you are aware of things they may have concerns over such as being slow to tag back and if it may not be known, let people know you have been on vacation or busy etc. and have plans to improve on it. you can also ask for specific things you are worried on that you would like concrit, etc.)

character: Leonardo da Vinci // Assassin's Creed
character journal: howexciting
personal hmd: N/A (although PMs to this journal are encouraged if you would prefer that)
notes: I know I am a rather slow tagger comparatively to many people in here. I am attempting to work on my speed. The holidays were pretty awful for me in terms of RP productivity, so tags have stalled for the time being while I try to get my other ducks in a row. Specifically, I would like to hear about how I'm playing Leonardo, and how believable his voice is.

Re: Meta

Your voice seems pretty solid for Leo, though I'm canonblind, and I've definitely seen you working on trying to stay on top of things and keep them managable! That said, you sometimes seem... really invested in making yourself miserable? Like the whole thing with the King in Yellow - people, myself included, were pretty willing to work something out so that Leo could move on with things, but you kept shooting down ideas on plurk. It's kind of off-putting when someone seems really determined to not have fun in RP, because it's a hobby that's supposed to be fun. You also seem to take stuff really personally and blame yourself too much, which I don't think makes anyone, yourself included, happier.

So I guess - be kinder to yourself, and maybe a little more accepting of ways to solve the problems that are getting to you?

Re: Meta

[howexciting]

Thank you. I will take all of this into consideration.

Is it specifically the King in Yellow that led you to this conclusion? Because I am having Leonardo teach several people Eldritch Defense, and I have confirmed with Matt that the Yellow Sign is gone and will not be returning normally, but might if we potentially have another Lovecraftian plot, so the Yellow Sign will not be an issue for quite some time, if at all.

On the other hand, I have been batting for a few weeks now with my medication, and I am hoping to get it resolved soon so that my generalized anxiety with depressive tendencies will be manageable, and therefore stop bleeding into my OOC plotting for RP.

Re: Meta

Well, more your reactions on plurk I suppose? About having written yourself into a corner and all that - you seemed really unhappy with stuff for a bit there.

I hope you manage to get the med stuff sorted! I've been there, and it's a rough place.

Re: Meta

I'm glad it's not an RP issue and that it appears to be more of an OOC issue then!
