Concrit meme - Take 79!
Time for our monthly How's My Driving meme!

- Comment to this post with a list of your characters. You may add any commentary you'd like, such as things you'd wish to get feedback on.

- Reply anonymously to the other players, giving concrit on how they're playing/their characterization/their interactions/etc.

- Flat-out negative comments will get screened/frozen/deleted, and can be grounds for banning if they're bad enough. Game rules apply here as well, so don't use it as an excuse to insult others. How can you tell the difference between giving crit and bashing? The second has no purpose. Giving crit means you want things to improve - by clearing out a misunderstanding of a character's actions, by helping a player manage activity better, by pointing out where characterization might be off, etc. If there is a situation with a player that's really problematic and would start big trouble here, consider taking it to us mods instead.

- Simply giving positive feedback is just fine! Of course, we encourage these to be as elaborate as possible, as it's always better to get an idea of why a character/player is doing things right.

This is non-mandatory! If you aren't comfortable with the HMD, or don't feel like posting every time, or whatever the reason is, you don't have to post to it. However, don't be that person who gives crit to others and then doesn't open up for crit themselves.

On that same line of thought - we're a small game! If nobody comments, then the meme doesn't work. If you receive comments, try to leave at least one of your own to somebody else. It's always better if we have many replies, and various POVs.

I don't have anything to note aside from feeling like I've fallen down this month on throwing some of my characters around - plus switching to a new tagging system which unfortunately meant that I dropped some threads without realizing just how brand new they were. I'm going to work on that for this next month!

Any feedback in general would be greatly appreciated, as always. Thanks guys ♥

I absolutely adore your characters! You do such a fantastic job with all of them and all their voices are distinct and interesting. I love seeing the CR that gets developed with them and others in game, and you're always so present and easy to tag and plot with.

I think honestly my only thought is that I'd love to see Kai around more. I think that of your characters, he's the one who feels absent in most things. He's such a fun character that I can see him interacting with a lot of people and have interesting dynamics. So I'd just love to see more of him!

First of all, let me say your Wan is loads of fun to play with, and it's great that you integrated to the game so quickly! I really enjoy how consistent and strong his voice is despite being a new thing for you to play, and that you have no trouble making him act less friendly at times and clash with others. That's always a fun dynamic to play against and it makes sense he'd be wary of people in such a strange location.

I do wonder, however, about the way it repeatedly came up in threads that he's insterested in romance or has issues with being rejected by matchmakers, and so on? In his episodes (unlike with Roku, or even Kuruk) we don't really get any mentions of Wan regarding romantic pursuits at all, from his homeland and not even a passing mention during his journeys to meet other people, so it stands out that it's being played as such a strong aspect of his characterization.

I would hope this doesn't come across as saying you're not allowed to make him shippy, it absolutely isn't! Everyone here is very ship-friendly and of course with no real canon to contradict it either you can build your own headcanons on it. I'm more curious as to where you're coming from with it amd what your thoughts on the subject were, I'd love to hear more on it, especially the underdog aspect of having been told he wouldn't be a good match.

It's a personal headcanon based on aspects of life on the lion turtle that are not directly addressed and how Wan (and others who are poor) are shown to be treated. I don't mind explaining at all! I'll start with stated and implied canon and then where my extrapolation goes from there!

Stated canon:
-The people of his city think they are the only human settlement in existence. (From his conversation with Aye-Aye about other lion turtle cities)
-There is limited space for living on the Lion Turtle (everyone either lives inside the walls, or just outside the walls but still on the turtle's back)
-Being banished is considered a fate worse than death until Wan proves otherwise (Yao's mental truama from being possessed, the awe in the lead hunter's voice when he talks about Wan, Jaya's declaration that "wan has proven" that humans can survive in the wilds)
-Wan was not happy with his place in life and was willing to do things to try and actively change it.
-Wan is sensitive about people implying he isn't worth as much as others (until after he spends time with the spirits and mellows out)

Implied Canon:
-Most homeless people are male (none of the people shown in the fight against the chous or among Jaya's refugees are noticeably female).
-Most homeless people aren't trusted with jobs which reduces their prospects for prospering within the city (the lead hunter having to be convinced to let Wan join the hunt despite there being no other volunteers)
-Homeless thieves are looked down on, but not to the point of actively punishing for their actions (the chous knowing Wan by name and tolerating his existance despite the theivery which is implied to be a regular thing - wan only getting arrested/banished because he stole the power of fire)
-Much of the 'background' culture is based on the Zhou Dynasty of China (fashion and home styles incorporated, also a pre-Qin (chin) dynasty; matchmaking for marriage and marriages in general became an established custom during this same time period)

Headcanons that formed from thinking about all this and trying to figure out what Wan's life was like before we meet up with him:
Due to the limited space for humans to grow and have families, marriages were likely highly regulated so they benefited the community at large. Determining if a match was good for everyone would involve a lot of fortune-telling superstition based on birthdays and other omens. Most marriages would not be love matches - though love-matches were, of course, considered a good thing when they happened due to the harmony of the match.

One major thing that factored into this was likely the value of female children over male (leading to male children given up more often than female, hense more male humans being homeless).

Wan, not being content with his lot in life, would see marrying into a family - any family - being an easy way off the streets and to a regular 3 squares a day for him (and likely Jaya and Yao, who he had taken responsibility for). However, as a homeless man who most people wouldn't even trust with a basic job, he has pretty much nothing of value to offer another family except that 'he was born on a lucky day'. So of course he would be rejected by any matchmaker he went to for that because he was never 'good enough' for anyone when there were a plethora of better men out there, both homeless and otherwise.

Wan thinks it's a fast track to a better life, so he's focused on it in a new place with other humans out of a fear that the good stuff he's gotten so far will disappear. He just wants to feel valued for who he is and this is a way he's familiar with. He's also gotten what he perceives as romantic attention which he's not used to and well, he's 18. He's going to blush a lot and pursue what he can. In canon, there were spirits around, he realized after fighting to protect Mula he was 'tired' of other humans, and didn't need to worry about what other humans found important anymore.

He's actually going to mellow out after his first month there and he realizes he doesn't have to prove himself in any way. I play him as grey-ace (though very romantic), so anything that does happen wouldn't go very far anyway as he'd have no interest in it beyond feeling valued by others.

Usual concerns apply here (spelling, activity, voice stuff), but any critics would greatly appreciated! I really have been trying especially hard to improve following up on tags and making certain I get old threads before starting new ones. Steve's voice has had issues in the past so that's also been a priority for me, and as stated before, I feel a lot better about him than I did two months ago. But there is always room for improvement, and if so, please let me know!

I can't say I have much trouble with Steve's voice itself, I liked what he did during the bridge event and it was nice to see him getting a little more involved.

Which, I suppose, is my actual concern here. His stats list him as being kind, willing to help others and do good deeds, who would get along with just about anyone, who struggles with adjusting to his new life and with expressing his own feelings to others. Yet I can hardly say I've seen this reflected in his threads.

Correct me if I'm missing out on things, which is possible as it's easy to miss threads sometimes, but he seems to not really have made many connections so far. Even his threads with Bucky, who I would've expected would be a huge part of his CR, are usually short or even dropped fast at times (such as Bucky's canon update). He doesn't seem to know much of Bucky's large number of CR, or many of the game's known and popular characters. A sociable, well-known character like Stiles mentioned he's never spoken to Steve directly.

Even the notes on him on the plotting post right now seem very empty - you want him to get a job, but don't have any ideas yourself nor offer any insight as to what he could do - and overall it feels as though Steve has little sense of direction, and it's difficult to get an idea of what you'd like for him to do, in terms of his personal issues, his relationships, or what he could do for others.

Getting more insight on this would be great, as well as detailing out where you'd like threads/CR to go with him. As I said initially, I really liked the effort made for him throughout the bridge event, and would love that sort of initiative reflected in the usual Steve as well.

Thank you anon! First of all, I apologize for the rushed plotting post because there were a few things I've wanted to do with Steve, but most of that involves the up coming event, which is a separate post altogether, but I should have linked to that at least . I have been meaning to toss him into the Valentine post as well, so again, sorry for the delays on these points.

You mentioned Steve not having any real connections and that is true. A large part of that was because previously I had been so lost and unsure of what to do with him that I would throw him into a lot of threads and end up not seeing them through. I was also shaky on his voice and approach so that added to the anxiety. Those were all issues that had been brought to my attention a couple of months back, and as a way to try and bounce back from it, I made a conscious decision to drop all of his threads from before the Bridge event, which included all of Bucky's threads. It was something that Celen and I discussed and agreed was a good thing to do. We decided to hand wave a lot of old threads and start fresh with the newer posts. So when we did the Bridge event, I focused myself on the threads there and made an effort to make sure they all had direction and purpose while potentially creating an opportunity for Steve to actually bond with others outside of Bucky, and hopefully get him to have some fun with different individuals. (There's an ongoing thread where he's reconnecting with Constance in the Snow Ball post, so I think the event did help a little.)

After the Bridge, there were a few posts mid January that I was interested in tossing him in like the joint Porthos/Isabella post and other threads in the Snow Ball, all with the intention of following up on some CR he started, some of which was just simply getting him to make friends. Others were more to put him in situations where he'd be more vulnerable or awkward around others, and those can lead to some good threads. Unfortunately, my mother got very sick which snowballed into my getting sick and was followed by some awful personal circumstances involving a close friend of mine (which I mentioned briefly on plurk). All those combined really knocked the wind out of my sails, so to speak, and I was back to slowly trying to ease myself into the game again. In doing so, I was trying to avoid a repeat of what I did wrong last time with him. I didn't want to throw Steve into newer threads without first making sure I had been keeping up with older ones, that all the new threads I started had the same focus and direction I had during the Bridge AU. However, it seems to have had the effect of him not being involved enough and for that, I'm sorry ;-;

I really don't want to make excuses for the lack of initiative or communication on my part, but I hope that at least explains why I sort of dropped the ball in January. I'm hoping February will be a lot less disruptive, and I'll try my best to keep following up on things with this guy. I'm determined to keep improving him and to know that my efforts during the Bridge event were evident makes me even more so. Again, thank you so much for the feedback, anon! I really am sorry for the trouble, but I promise I'll keep what you said in mind and do what I can to fix my mistakes ;-;

I'll start out by saying that his is just a minor observation I've noticed over the course of playing with Sherlock. I think you do a fantastic job of capturing his analytical/detective side, and sometimes you're able for him to observe things despite playing with characters you might not be familiar with and be able to demonstrate his observational skills really masterfully.

I will say that some of his more emotional sides, however, seem a bit off. I think that for a while you did a good job of striking his lack of balance without Joan. But, given that you updated him to season 3, the ic and ooc emphasis on Joan seems a little too much. Not that he wouldn't care about Joan nor miss her or seek his companionship, because we know that that's very much Sherlock's thing. However, you're playing him from a point in time after he'd lived in London for six months and thus learned to at least function without Joan. In canon, he also states that it wasn't so much Joan herself as it was the relationship that he missed (which arguably isn't fully true, but regardless).

You see him form a new bond, mentorship, and partnership with Kitty, which demonstrates that he's more than capable of forming emotional attachments with like-minded people who aren't Joan. Except, when you're playing Sherlock, it seems more often that you're using the lack of Joan as a crutch to justify why he isn't around more or being more "sociable" (as much as Sherlock can be). His relationship with Kitty demonstrates his ability to seek out others and form new partnerships independent of Joan.

Not to say that Joan's importance shouldn't be emphasized. But, rather, I think you should be branching Sherlock out more. You had a tentative foundation with Miko in that respect while Miko was still in game, but he doesn't ever appear to be reaching our or attempting to pass on his wisdom to worthy people. Or, for that matter, seems to be searching for a worthy person to teach and mentor.

His update doesn't seem to be reflected in how you're playing him. In season 3, he's far from cuddly, but he seems a little more vulnerable in Sherlock's sense, and has opened himself up to not just Joan, but Kitty as well. I think that Sherlock's playing in Kiseki if you were exploring that mentoring/teaching side more, because as it stands, I haven't seen a whole lot of it and haven't seen a noticeable shift in his playing since before and after his update.

But like I said, you do a great job of his more analytical and observational side, but while you're often quick to point out that Sherlock is an asshole, in some ways, I think you're overdoing it and not exploring the other sides of Sherlock's character: namely, his own brand of vulnerability and socialization.

Of course, perhaps I'm off-base here. I'm far from a Sherlock expert, and like I said, I'm often in awe of your ability to handle such an intelligent and strange character. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, in any case, or at least explain your thought-process behind it if I am mistaken on your characterization approach.

Thank you anon! I would like to say, I think you're right. I hadn't really noticed just how often he refers to Joan in his thoughts, but it's true that at this point he would be a lot less dependent on her, regardless of how much he still relies on her.

I will say that as far as him being less vulnerable, I think he's been a lot more so than in the past, but that it's always to a limited extent, something that canon seems to support. In the show, for example, you can see he's come a long way in opening up to others and allowing himself to let people in, but he's also mostly demonstrating this vulnerability around people he's come to consider "family" (Joan, Gregson, and Bell).

I also play him as being in denial about just how decent of a person he actually is and how much some people mean to him. The Sherlock I currently play cares for Kitty, but has yet to realize that he loves her despite making the analogy of him being her "father figure". He says that he's only ever loved three people in his life and names Joan, his mother, and "Irene." In Kiseki he's realized he loves Jamie for who she really is, not just for who he believed her to be, but in the show, he seems to be in denial about his feelings despite evidence to the contrary. I think the point where he truly begins to understand how important Kitty is to him is the episode where a man is interested in her, and he does everything in his power to keep her occupied so she doesn't get upset by the advances or potentially hurt. When Kitty tells him that what he did made her feel "protected and loved," there is a very noticeable shift in how he handles the situation, offering to take her and her date to an exhibit so that Kitty can be around the suitor while feeling safe. It's a very small, but telling gesture, something even Kitty seems pleasantly surprised with.

Sorry to vomit Sherlock feels and headcanons, let me get back to your points >>;;; I have been having him approach others when they're upset and try and have him comfort them in his own way while still not seeing how much he actually cares about them. With Art after the Bridge, he's giving him advice while wanting to maintain some distance lest Jamie decide to mess with him again. With Robin after Porthos leaves, he wants to reassure her while being hostess about the situation. In the Valentine post with Snow, its a combination of wanting to help while also knowing he may not be someone she wants to open with like say, her husband or children. All of these are people he's come to like, but again, he's not always good at understanding how deeply he can actually feel at times, but he'll get there!

But I'll try and be more clear about his vulnerability in the future, because it IS very much part of the new Sherlock and when I update him, you'll definitely see it more. Thank you once more for bringing this to my awareness as well as the Joan fixation. I will definitely try and be more attentive to these matters and work on them going forward ^^

I've been intending to have Sherlock find another person to bond with like he did with Miko and I do actually have two people in mind for that. Stiles and Real!Syaoran are the people I can see him taking under his wing, but I wanted to touch base with their muns first ^^;; I think JL and I agreed some time ago that there was some potential with Syaoran, so I'm going to keep up with their CR and see what happens.

Thanks for taking the time to clarify everything! When it comes to a character like Sherlock, sometimes it's tough to figure out just what's going on in his head even with the best of muns highlighting in introspection/brackets or with memes on plurk. I appreciate you taking the time to write that all out for me, it definitely makes things clearer. I wish I had more to add to that other than this tiny comment after you wrote so much.

I will add though in regards to what you've said here and what you said to the anon above, I think you could definitely benefit from some more ooc communication. Lately, when you plurk about the game, it's usually with comments like "I can't do tags tonight, will try tomorrow" or "just finished tags, now going to bed", and thus all your plurks become a timeline for your tagging styles but doesn't offer insight into what your characters are thinking or reaching out to other players to get some threads going or hash out ideas. I know that sometimes it can be intimidating to just jump in or something like that, but I think that especially with someone like Sherlock, being more communicative oocly will really help for others to interact with him.

Hope that helps, and again, thanks for taking the time to write that all out. :)

It does help, and thank you for the suggestion about interacting more outside the game. That's something I do have trouble doing, largely because I don't want to bother others or but in when people are plotting things for their characters. But you're right in that it would clarify where I'm coming from in terms of how I play my characters and in trying to get them more involved with others.

Thank you for your help and I hope I don't let anyone down ;-;

I’ll start by saying that I really love seeing Yuuki around more and it’s great to see you being involved and building up new CR. Yuuki is a lot of fun and I’m always so happy to see her around. It’s clear that you’ve played this character for a long time, because there’s such an ease with her characterization and every tag always feels spot-on.

I’ll say that there are times when certain points of Yuuki’s canon can be upsetting and intense and I feel they aren’t properly warned for? Yuuki is in a relationship with her brother and also impregnated by him, iirc? You bring it up so casually, both icly and oocly, that sometimes I’m uncertain if icly my character is supposed to react to the incest, especially as both icly and oocly it isn’t presented as an odd thing. I think it’d be a beneficial thing to have some kind of more detailed stats or have a permissions post, because it could be potentially triggering/squicking, especially since Kaname’s behavior does trend towards abusive. I know that your journal has a character-specific permissions and other such posts but I don’t recall whether you’ve used it for Kiseki, as the only Kiseki-relevant thing seems to be the game stats. If it’s something that is meant to be used, I think it might be a good idea to link it in the ooc comm and encourage people to use it so that there’s an option to opt-out from specific aspects of her canon.

Because it isn’t just the incest, it’s Kaname. There isn’t anything listed in Yuuki’s stats that says being very close to Yuuki would result in Kaname becoming possessive and potentially deadly to the character. Considering Kaname is a powerful vampire, that isn’t much of a fight, and there might be some muns who simply don’t want to have to deal with that on an ic level. If Kaname is willing to murder someone for touching Yuuki or helping Yuuki, that is definitely something that should be emphasized in her stats. Perhaps this is less relevant now that we don’t have a Kaname, but we have had one in the past and we might have one in the future. I’ve seen several threads with Yuuki in which she explains to a character she’s building CR with that her brother would not take kindly to their relationship, but I don’t see any ooc clarification on that warning and it puts other muns in an awkward position if, ultimately, they wanted to avoid that kind of conflict and didn’t realize what would be the result.

In a similar vein, I know that Yuuki is a vampire and you definitely want to play that up, which is fun and interesting and I’m looking forward to seeing how it’ll play out. But, again, there are threads where the vampirism is emphasized without any prior ooc communication, which could lead to a character having to icly agree or insist on helping Yuuki even if the mun might not have wanted their character to be involved (but it would have proven ooc for the character to ignore the obvious signs).

I’m not saying that these things shouldn’t be played out, because these are core aspects of Yuuki’s character and part of what makes Yuuki who she is. It’s fun for player-driven plots as well as for building strong CR.

What this boils down to is that Yuuki comes from an extremely sensitive canon with heavy quick potential, and I think that because of that, it’s important to emphasize ooc communications so as to avoid potentially awkward or upsetting situations for muns. You play Yuuki extremely well and she’s lovely, but as it stands right now there’s a risk of discomfort about certain aspects of her canon due to lack of warning. Especially because you’ve expressed interest in shipping and flirtiness with Yuuki, which is great don’t get me wrong, but considering the Kaname-factor, it’s important to let others know what they could be potentially signing up for.

And that’s really the only point I wanted to bring up, and that’s not even a matter of characterization. As far as her characterization goes, I see nothing wrong. Like I said, it’s clear that you understand her character and have an ease with playing her and it always shines through in your threads and interactions with her. She’s a lot of fun and I’m happy that she’s in the game and look forward to seeing more from her in the future.

Hey, thank you for bringing this up to me! I haven't thought much about the fact that her canon might be upsetting or triggering. I remember around when I first joined the game with her, and mentioned that she had a complicated canon and mentioned the problems with Kaname, as well as the incest. And the response I had overwhelmingly (granted) through plurk, was that almost everyone's canon's were complicated- especially CLAMP ones- with bad relationships and dramatic family affairs. And that it would be absolutely no problem at all.

Due to that I hadn't thought much about it since then, and that's not a problem I've run into in any of my other games over the years before. So I apologize if anything Yuuki has said to your character has been upsetting. That's not my intention. My permission post is definitely for all games. I linked it on plurk, once, but again- it might be better if I put it alongside my stats. People are welcome to tell me that they want to opt out of interacting with Yuuki or certain aspects of it. I definitely would like for individuals to be up front with me if something in my playing makes them uncomfortable.

In regards to Kaname- he's not here anymore, so as you said, it shouldn't prove much of a big deal. But I will say that neither myself or the mun would have ever had Kaname attack another character or do anything to them without OOC permission and plotting. And while Kaname can be deadly- he wouldn't murder someone for looking at her or being her friend. Yuuki is afraid that he would because she doesn't understand his intentions. And Kaname is the type to use people (much like Fumito, Jamie, and others), but Kaname himself wouldn't go out of his way to actually hurt someone unless they hurt Yuuki or proved a great risk of some sort. That's her character worrying more so than what reality would likely be for the person. He's a jerk, but he doesn't seriously murder, stalk, or kill for petty reasons. Or rather... the only person he's likely to keep an eye on would be her.

I don't... think Yuuki has told many people that Kaname is (was) her fiance and her brother recently. If she did and it's slipping my mind, I apologize. I know I often talk about it and her vampirisim on plurk when I link posts, so I usually assume that the muns are aware. For my permission post I'll ask that people please tell me up front whether they want vampirism or incest touched upon at all so that I can avoid it with that character altogether. And if something new suddenly happens, will try to make an ooc note. The permissions will help me as well, because if I feel that I need to walk on eggshells around certain characters, or restrain characterization heavily due to what she is, I'll look for her CR elsewhere.

Basically- I'm fine with all of this! And thank you for bringing it to my attention, since I had been under the impression it was not a problem before. I'm just going to ask upfront in my stats that people tell me directly what they want, because otherwise I will default assume that things are okay if someone posts to her, and should something be brought up the character/mun will be able to handle the information.

Another anon floating in just to say that I actually really appreciate the answer you said above, just because as someone basically utterly canonblind to Yuuki, it really offered some insight into the canon and into her character! I really don't have any crit to offer other than to say that I'm always so impressed with the level of thought and understanding you put into your character. She truly is a joy to play with.
