Concrit Post 12

[hmd_meme]

I was going to put up a notice for the next meme, unfortunately, the LJ-notification problem, coupled with mod's real-life business kind of prevented that. But since we're so much later than usual, I'm just going to put the post up. I'm sorry I haven't been around to respond to you guys. We should be back on track now!

Nyota Uhura giftedlinguist (and her Mirror Universe counterpart, notyourmouse)

My other muses aren't really being played enough right now to warrant any sort of meaningful crit, but if you know who they are and feel like addressing them too, go for it.

First of all, Mirror!Uhura needs to meet Mirror!Pike.

I don't know much about Charlie, but he's fun to talk to.

So far I like Uhura, she's pretty badass without being overly serious which I think is something we saw glimpses of in the movie. I like how she is not the same character as TOSUhura, in similar ways to the other XI folks. I guess I don't have anything negative to say really other than she needs to come out more.

♥ I do try to put some TOS in her, in the sense that I try to play her a bit more vulnerable than you'd assume she is based solely on Reboot characterization. TOS Uhura was a somewhat "softer" character, while of course still being totally fierce. What I mean is I try not to play her all "OMG WTF HELL NO FARRAGUT *SNAP*" etc., which some people veer into a bit with her. So I hope a bit of Nichelle's essence does come across too. :)

Charlie is fun, despite his failings. They certainly both need to come out more, or rather, come out other than just in EoE. Even in, like, TSW, I kind of forget to give Nyota posts of her own, I get so wrapped up in commenting on other peoples' - though even that I should probably do more. Ah, such is real life...

AND YES ABOUT MIRROR!PIKE IDK WHY THEY HAVE NOT PLAYED YET! We shall remedy this! Hehe. Thank you for commenting, Sara. :)

Oh my god. I don't even know how to critique your Uhura, because she's so fabulous in so many ways. She glides well with others, and you can tell you really like the character. You also add so many TOS elements and give her a well rounded personality, not just making her "Oh naw you didaaant" and bitchy like a lot of Uhuras. My critique I guess would be to rewatch Search for Spock and The Voyage Home and steal bits of personality and idiosyncrasies you haven't done previously, but I don't know, I really love your Uhura to pieces and look forward to playing with her more.

Secret Confession Time:
The last time I saw 'Search for Spock' was like 6 years ago. After I read your comment I pilfered it from my bf's VHS collection and intend to do a much needed re-watch soon. 'Voyage Home' I have seen recently, but hey, that one stands up to multiple viewings, obviously, so that's in the queue as well. :)

I like your Uhura. I think she blends really well with my Kirk, and I couldn't ask for a better Uhura for EOE - it's awesome to plot with you, and define their character relationship based on the circumstances. ♥ I wish you were on a little more.

[giftedlinguist]

I should really be on more. I've been particularly bad about that lately. :(

But thank you so much for the compliments, I looove playing with your Kirk, as you know, and I am SO PSYCHED to get to have them interact more in a canon context soon, omg. (Speaking of which, since you have tempted us - YOU TEASE - I'm probably gonna keep poking you asking when we can start. Feel free to tell me to shut up.)
