HMD [A - K]

Those who gave their names or nicknames on their applications and the Taken Character List as starting with A through K, please post here.


How's My Driving?
[PROCEED]


IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE! HMD, HMD! HOW'S MY DRIVING? PRETTY GOOD, RIGHT? AREN'T YOU THANKFUL?! GOBBLE IT UP, POLYCHROMATIDS~!!

Welcome back to our more seasoned members, and welcome to you first-timers.

HMD is the gamewide chance for feedback on playing here in [livejournal.com profile] polychromatic.

And here's our philosophy on HMD: praise--it's all well and good (we all love it, yeah?), so if you want to give praise, love, ♥s, whatever, go for it! It's especially great to say what you ♥ so much about a character. For example, how they acted during X curse or Y plot was great, or how they adjusted (or didn't?) to the City was fascinating. But we all know, constructive crit is best when you're looking for advice on how to improve. What we really encourage here are questions. It gives you the chance to maybe understand something, (and maybe you think it makes sense after all now), and the player a chance to explain. For example:

"How did Gary get from Point A in canon to Point B in Poly? It didn't quite make sense to me."

"What started this whole fascination of Sue's with the bananas?"

And then you find out that there's a long, involved story that goes back six months involving the aftermath of a curse, a lizard, a pound of potatoes, a watermelon, three French maids, and a pogo stick. And then it all makes perfect sense.

Or perhaps it doesn't, but you've started a dialogue about the things you perceive versus the things the player perceives.

As decided by community vote, anon is not allowed here on the main HMD post, and IP logging is on. Sorry, Anon. However, we encourage posting a link to your own, personal, anon-enabled crit thread(s) if allowing anon is something you want to do and are comfortable with. But keep in mind that we moderators can't police those crit threads: not only are they anon, but they are on your own journals, and there are dozens of them. But we entreat members of this game to be polite and courteous, logged in or not. We will be watching the main post for any unrest, however, so keep that in mind. (We like to watch.) Let's all keep ourselves like civilized people, and have a decent time. Remember, no road rage in HMD.

To keep things organized, please post your comment in the following format*:




The general disclaimer, as usual, applies:

By choosing to post here on HMD, you may receive comments you don't necessarily enjoy. By posting here, you accept that this could happen, and you're basically okay with it. We will be monitoring this post for abuse and will shut down any instances of abuse we see. However, constructive crit, comments, or questions you just don't like do not count as abuse.

Whew. Now that that's all out of the way, have at it, [livejournal.com profile] polychromatic!

*Please remember our requests regarding sparkles, images, embedded media, and other bits of coding. A little variation on the comment form is fine and tasty, and putting things like gifs or videos behind links or in collapsed threads is fine too, but please consider the loading time for others with slower connections. And take it easy on the placeholders: HMD isn't going anywhere.

And because it's apparently traditional for HMD posts to go up in the middle of the damn night, here we are. =_=v

People I Stalk
Amory
Sakura

People I Interact With
Tristan

People I Love
Amory
Suou
Tristan
Sakura
You

Right, okay, now that my penchant for lists has been satisfied...okay, I have never seen Stardust and I admit this, but playing off of Tristan makes me want to SO BAD. I love the interactions he and Rosella have, and I love it when he and Yvaine are both trolling the same post bickering with each other all over and being obnoxious to each other because it's just so hilarious. And it's really sweet how you manage to show that Tristan really is personally invested in Yvaine (more than just that he has to bring her back to Victoria) in the things that he does and the hints of things he lets on, when all the while he's denying that she's anything more than an annoying harpy-woman-star-thing that makes his life miserable. It's fantastic and I really enjoy reading it. ♥

Also I have this secret desire to maybe throw Rosella at Amory someday but somehow I also think doing so would be a recipe for disaster. =D

skljf;dsa Thank you so much! I know I've been awful with Tristan tags lately, dropping them... and lagging on responses,so I apologize for my fail. Tristan would say he may have a small crush on Rosella, if... he didn't have Victoria (and Yvaine, subconsciously) in mind because I don't think he's met a girl so sweet before. Especially when you parallel her against the banshee Yvaine and Miss. Prissybitches Victoria. And to top that all off-- she's a princess. (Victoria isn't even a princess, yet she acts so entitled? DXX)

thank you bb, and you're very welcome to throw Rosella at Amory... but as much as it could be a recipe for disaster, it could also lead to something interesting? 8) You never know.

Rosella already kind of doesn't like Victoria, from everything she's heard about her thus far. She's okay with Yvaine, and will occasionally between her and Tristan, but when it comes right down to it, she's almost always going to take Tristan's side on stuff. 'Cause he's nice, and tends to be in need at times, and she kind of feels like he needs someone to be nice to him and help him out a little bit. She's all messed up emotionally right now, but as soon as she gets back on track in that respect, she'll be back to worrying about Tristan and hoping that everything works out for him in the end.

He works at the Blue Light, doesn't he? So she's probably seen him around before, since she hangs out there fairly often. He might know her as "Blonde Chick In Medieval Peasant Gown Who Hangs Around The Bar" or something, IDK. If the opportunity arises, I will definitely go for it!
