How's My Driving?

How this works: Post your characters' names and journals. Hop around to others' threads and offer praise or constructive criticism where appropriate. Receive praise or con-crit in return. If offering crit, please make sure to be civil.

Participation isn't compulsory, but it's recommended all the same.

I know that you've been wanting to have Xanth develop along the lines of anger and frustration. Before I give a crit, one question: Have you been expanding his CR?

I ask because one way to destabilise a character is to put them outside their comfort zone. Best way to do that with a character like Xanth might be to expose him to others. Is there a way you could make him more proactive about tagging new characters?

To be honest, I have not been trying much to get him out and about. It's a little like a cycle? No growth -> don't feel like tagging -> even less growth -> less desire to tag -> etc.

I could certainly be more proactive, though. As of the moment I'm tending to stick around people he already has CR with and that's... not conducive to a whole lot of growth, tbh, because he's mostly got friends!

In an attempt to break that cycle, I'd suggest picking non-friendly/unknown CR threads for a bit in order to expand it. Yes, it's hard to do when unmotivated, but maybe something planned and built up could get him closer to snapping/destabilising. Do you have anything planned?

I offer Bartimaeus in this regard and will tag you at the CR meme when I tackle that.

Sort of, yes. Xanth is friends with Chloe, whose boyfriend is Derek, and I've been planning with Bri and Megs a while to do something involving those three. It looks like we might have some conflict as Bobby's birthday party, which I'm looking forward to! But there haven't been any tags on that front yet, so.

And I am glad for Barti tags ngl :> He and Xanth have interesting CR already!
