HOW'S MY DRIVING?

HOW'S MY DRIVING?


Comment with the names of the characters you play for feedback on your roleplaying. Other players will then reply to your comment telling you what they honestly think in a constructive manner. While both praise and critique is welcome, we'd like to remind you that this is a valuable tool for many of our members. We'd like to request that all comments remain constructive.

While the staff highly encourages everyone to participate, only comment if you are capable of giving and taking potentially harsh concrit in a mature, level-headed manner. Assume good faith at all times. Crit is meant to be resolved, not "won". Give mutual respect for each other's work and ideas. Aggressiveness creates unproductive stress and conflict. If you are emotionally compromised, you are not fit to captain the Starship Enterprise need to step back, take a break, and then return when you're ready.

Anonymous commenting is DISABLED. If you want to receive anonymous crit anyways, please take advantage of the Private HMD thread (see below).

We have provided a form to post with, if you would like to use it. Mentioning things like canon points, permanent losses and recent major events in their lives in Paradisa may help give people a better idea of the character's mindset and current actions.



Alternatively, you may choose to post a link to your private HMD thread on the character's journal and take comments there instead. The first thread of this post will be reserved for those people, and we will freeze those comments. People will be expected to follow the link to the character's individual HMD to give crit there.

Homestuck: Sollux Captor - [livejournal.com profile] p2iioniic
Link to HMD: Individual HMD Post Here
Loss: Ability to type out hacks/programs.
Canon Point: During "Kanaya: Return to the core."
Specific Crit Requests: I've been kind of iffy about using the typing quirk because I don't really want to possibly lose potential CR because of it's annoyiness? So uh mostly, should I be using it less or more?

I don't know if I've told you this before but if I have I will gladly repeat myself just to reinforce it. But Nepeta's CR with Sollux was not originally expected and I absolutely adore it. I never thought it would grow like it has been. She's really starting to like him, and I'm so glad we're getting this chance to expand upon their friendship.

You're still amazing with him, and I love reading all of his entries and threads. Anyone who can master that much snark and moodiness always impresses me. Keep it up, because he's becoming one of my favorites. ♥

;A; thank you so much! I'm really glad Nepeta and Sollux have had the chance to develop CR together too! I've already mentioned this once before in a plurk about how Nepeta wasn't exactly one of my favorite characters, but you've completely changed my mind about that, and I thank you for it!

Well, Sollux is pretty sensitive about his lisp, so it would make sense to me that he would hide behind his text more often than not! Honestly, if you're worried about it, I'd just say when you're tagging a new character, post with the quirk or lisp and ask if it's okay! And if they'd prefer not, you could leave a comment in your permissions noting that they didn't want it. :)

I ):'d when you dictated towards a character and put [Dictated with a lisp]. One reason being you didn't specify what lisp Sollux had, but mostly because I rather enjoy reading Sollux's thpeech with all thosthe thilly thh's replathing s-thounds. I think it adds to the character and situation, and at the least, isn't very hard to decipher!

Oh, besides that. I LOVE your Sollux. I love his snark, his personality, and I ADORE his random bursts of shitfits. It shows off his bipolar disorder beautifully. I love his kismesissitude with Equius, although, I do worry that he may be in a little over his head sometimes... Which is perfectly IC, haha, but still worrying!!

So really, don't worry about the quirk and lithp and his general jerkiness, as I'm pretty sure most people are pretty chill with the former, and I've seen that in most cases, negative CR is quite desirable. What's a good, respectable, and well-mannered discussion without the occasional snarky, ill-tempered remark thrown in anyway?

Pff, sorry for the small tl;dr. ♥

I know he should be hiding behind his quirk more often, sob. Most of the time, I do ask when I'm tagging a new character, but as of late I've been sort of... anxious to even do that?! I don't even know why, it's mostly me being weird to just skip over that, but Sollux's quirk is like the second or third hardest to read according to most people, so I'm really concerned about losing potential CR by even just using the quirk in the first tag. Again, it's mostly me being neurotic!! I should probably use it more often than not, and I did plan on going back to it more once Sollux had some established CR outside his cast.

But ahhhhh, aside from me freaking out about that, thank you for the compliments!! orz;;

Oh man, I absolutely love your Sollux. It will never cease to be one of my favorite things ever how he and Shiki are talking and everything, even though he's her matesprit's kismesis. And I, personally, like the typing quirk... I feel like it's fitting for him and it gives him extra voice, you know?

FLAILING I DIDN'T SEE THIS BEFORE FUCK NOTIFS.

Thank you so much!! I'll use the typing quirk more with Shiki then! I'm just concerned about accidentally blinding someone with the quirk so I'm trying to be, ah... cautious.

I love seeing the lisp typed out, and that's speaking as someone who doesn't know or like Homestuck as a canon. I think he seems fun and I'd love to get CR with him.

SOB I'M SORRY I DIDN'T SEE THIS EARLIER.

Thank you! I do kind of like typing out the lisp, so I'll use dictated more with Tamaki then?
