I'm sorry, but this is driving me mad! I must do this!
You're is a contraction of "you are". If you write out "you are" instead of "you're" this should become very obvious. "Command you are characters" makes no sense; "command your characters" is correct.
Putting an apostrophe before the "s" in "demands" transforms it from a command verb to a possessive object. In other words, "demand's of you" makes no sense unless you change it to read "...Demand's demands of you" or some other similar construction. "...demands of you" is the correct usage in this instance.
I know you've probably built this into a bad habit, which is why it's better to realize this now and correct it before it becomes even worse. I actually cringe every time I read an incorrect apostrophe usage and it happens so often now...
Please don't take this personally. This is not an indictment of you as an individual, just an attempt to correct some rather glaring grammar mistakes.
