HOW'S MY DRIVING: PLAYER EDITION

Time again for the triumphant re-return of the HMD!

Please comment here with the names of the characters you play and others will reply with their feedback- and it's obviously a given that this feedback will be helpful, constructive and respectful. Also, as amazing as getting ILU comments is, it's nice to hear why and what we're doing right just as much as criticism needs to be constructive.

sob idk bones so i can't say much about brennan other than ilher.

KATHERINE THOUGH oh my lord.

you really set the bar for playing a character that is manipulative and ruthless while remaining sympathetic and actually motivated by things rather than just. catty to be catty or something.

hi i haven't slept but you are awesome.

Thank you! I'm glad you don't think Katherine is just this... idk, stand-in bitch who messes with everyone just because she can. Well, she does that too, but... you know what I mean.

ilu Gidget. ♥ GET SOME SLEEP.

Iiiii know nothing about TVD so I can't really comment there.

BUT BRENNAN! She is great! I really enjoy bouncing Jason off of her. Their conversations are always entertaining, especially considering how different they are. I love that you aren't afraid to put her out of her element. Not only do you do that and do it well, but you have her react like a normal person would and not just throw things in there for the sake of random.

Yay! I'm very glad you think so. I've loved to have her talk to Jason, they're just so hilarious together despite (or because?) their differences. I just need to devote more attention to her and stop being so slow with her tags. :|

Thanks for this, I appreciate it!

OKAY SO THIS IS GONNA BE A RETREAD, DEAL WITH IT.

Your Brennan remains, for me, the Gold RP Standard. I think with her it's very very easy to go LOL BRENNAN DOESN'T GET SOCIALIZING, TEE HEE LOOK AT HER INTERACT AWKWARDLY and make a very complex character into a joke? But you look beyond mannerisms into motivations-- while not losing a beat on the mannerisms-- and it makes her an amazing character to play with/stalk. (Side gold star: there are, quite often, Smart Characters in rp who make me cringe because their players, for whatever reason, cannot portray that level of intelligence. Your Brennan doesn't suffer from that malady ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE NOT AN ACTUALFAX SCIENTIST.)

Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. Basically I need your Katherine in my life forever. She's such a wickedly complex character, on the show; every motivation has another motivation behind it, and you manage to capture that perfectly in-game. You blend her looking out for number one attitude with the genuine moments of softness we've seen in canon, and it's just... epic and wonderful and I cannot imagine playing off another Kat at this juncture. Every single tag is believable and textured, and I can always hear Nina Dobrev's voice in my head. I really have nothing but adoration.

/DEALS AND HUGS FOREVER

Ajhskjhdyas! I am ever so happy to hear you think so, on both characters! And oh gosh, I am nowhere near an actual scientist, I just abuse Google a whole lot in research of every random thing that tends to crop up when tagging with Brennan. xD I'm trying not to dissolve into more incoherent ajksjhdk and flailing, here, um, OKAY. I really am sincerely appreciative of the feedback, especially in regards with Katherine. I sometimes worry that the balance tips too much in either direction, so I'm glad to hear you think it's fine.

So much ♥♥♥!
