the support group meme

Per Wikipedia:

In a support group, members provide each other with various types of help, usually nonprofessional and nonmaterial, for a particular shared, usually burdensome, characteristic. The help may take the form of providing and evaluating relevant information, relating personal experiences, listening to and accepting others' experiences, providing sympathetic understanding and establishing social networks. A support group may also work to inform the public or engage in advocacy.

And now you know. And knowing's half the battle.

○ Post with a character.

○ Unlike most memes, you'd probably be better off by providing a general theme for people to respond to. You know, have your subject or post read "People who got turned into animals in their respective games" or "Time travelers and keeping the space/time continuum intact."

○ Respond to other people and support them through their trials and tribulations.

NOTE: While you're welcome to post whatever the hell you want, if you delve into triggery whatnot (i.e. abuse, suicide, things which tend to actually evoke real life support groups and therapy) please label your posts with a nice and blatant warning so someone who was looking for Time Travelers Anonymous doesn't accidentally stumble into your suicide thread instead.

[ the most elegant god. the most elegantly tripping god. face first into someone's chest or back, naturally. ]

Uwah--!?

[candygoesboom]

[ Oh hey Balder, there you go again. Good thing he's there to catch you. And laugh some, and tease. ]

What would you do without me?

[ Though "what would I do without you" is probably more like it. ]

[totalclutz]

[ He's glad. It's reassuring being caught by Loki. ]

Loki! [ oh! ] I would be very very sad and lonely, and want you to come back to my side.

[ Because it was a real question, right? ]

[candygoesboom]

[ Only he would answer a question that seriously. ]

Haha, like I'd ever leave. You promised, right?

[totalclutz]

That's a comfort to know. [ Though he already did know. ] I did. Because Loki is important to me.

[candygoesboom]

[ Geez, saying such embarrassing things! ]

You- Yeah, you too.

[totalclutz]

Mn?

[ He doesn't quite understand that concept to be honset. So of course he is confused. ]

Loki? Are you alright?

[candygoesboom]

Balder, you're.. ugh, never mind!

[ Too embarrassing, aah. ]

[totalclutz]

[ ???? ]

Yes?

[candygoesboom]

[ Just

actually letting go of Balder now since he kind of never did. ]

Nooothing.

[ Yep, pretend like it's nothing, great move. ]

[totalclutz]

[ because that will make him less concerned for his friend. ]

Loki.

[candygoesboom]

[ He just twirls his hair and gives his friend a grin. ]

Yeeaah?

[totalclutz]

Your face was red.

[candygoesboom]

You're imagining things, Balder~ Did you stumble and hit your head too hard?

[totalclutz]

I'm fairly sure I didn't, this time around.

[candygoesboom]

Maybe you're catching a cold, I've heard you can see things when you've got one.

[ He makes a show out of checking Balder's forehead. ]

[totalclutz]

I have never heard about people being delusional when they catch colds.

[ But he'll let Loki do that, none the less. ]

[candygoesboom]

You never know with those humans, there's a lot of weird things about them.

[ Even though he's lying, he can't just drop it now, can he? ]

You're a little hot, that's totally why!

[totalclutz]

Yes, but...

[ he's going to feel for himself. ]

I don't think I feel hot.

[candygoesboom]

You're not gonna feel anything when you do it to yourself.
