THING I'D CHANGE

Because nobody's perfect!

HOW TO PLAY
↺ Forget those blank comments, info in the subject, usual memes. In this meme, we use the subject line to put the one thing our characters would change about themselves whether they'd usually admit it to anyone or not. Their choice can be a physical, mental, or emotional one, a personality trait, a past mistake or choice, whichever's the most dramatic.
↺ Then: welcome to the peanut gallery! Everybody else comments.
↺ You know that's the meme.

( charles xavier ) "Should've stayed on the ground for ten more seconds."

[minded]

That said, my upper body strength has never been better.

Don't get caught.

[radiatingsoul]

Every problem I've ever been in was the result of getting caught.

[babybun]

Being caught's only an issue if--

[Well. He can't go lecturing about moral high grounds when he's just a corpse preserver, so he'll skip that.]

--Would you have thought to do the things you did, if you were more focused on stealth instead of other things? Seems enough to change trajectory, to me.

The whole nature of my existence

[warriorrequiem]

... But my opinion on the matter was insignificant.

[ssrank]

And why was it insignificant if it is your opinion on a matter of yourself?

I would've never said I'd be his date.

[prayercloset]

[ She should've stayed home. She should've left before they called her name. ]

[cat_has_claws]

"Teenage boys can be cruel."

I'd be less afraid, I think.

[bubblegumheart]

[Less afraid of disappointing people, specifically. Less afraid of her mother. Less afraid of speaking up. Just... less afraid in general.]

[wanderment]

Fear's a good trait to have. Keeps you alive.

I wouldn't've sold my soul?

[harderdaddy]

I guess maybe it shoulda been not doin' what I did to end up here in the first place, but selling myself to Val is probably the worst thing I've done.

[poppies_and_clovers]

I'm sorry. You probably thought it was a good idea at the time. "What use do I have for a soul?" or something like that.

[She places a hand on Angel Dust's shoulder.]

Want me to beat him until he agrees to give it back?

Be less timid

[scooba]

That way, I could have the courage to talk to more people.

[neighfeni]

It's hard, ain't it? Takin' to folks sometimes, Ah mean? It took me a long time to get over it, myself...

[Two wars and a lot of painful growth...]

Is there...anythin' in particular that comes up for ya when ya think 'bout talkin' to folks? Like, thoughts or somethin'?

I would've left earlier and written home more.

[babybun]

It's so fascinating above ground, and maybe I could've adapted to the sun easier if I were younger.

And maybe I could've told my father I loved him more.

[nergui]

Above ground. . . What, are you a native of Gridania's cave systems?

i'd be copper again.

[wanderment]

[ one day she'll learn to appreciate being such a unique color. today is not that day. ]

[feistro]

There something wrong with pink?

I'd have been better.

[soft_shelled]

[Just you know, better with his ninpo. Not get his shield smashed and him and Mikey get flung to Staten Island and needing Raph to save them while leaving Leo alone.

You know, normal teenaged regret.]

my ears and tail....

[cattea]

they... sometimes give unwanted attention... not as much as when i was younger, but it occasionally happens.

I would never admit I held feelings for any mortal.

[nergui]

[ nothing good ever came of it but their death and suffering, besides. an observer should follow the flow, not endanger those they were meant to protect. ]

I'd want the memories of my life back. Whatever it was.

[celestialvessel]

I would never have been deployed.

[detechs]

[ all the good done was not dependent on it being him. ]

[cat_has_claws]

"Never known that to be an option. A soldier goes where they're told to go, right?"

i would have killed adam sooner.

[lilit]

.. It might have saved Eve, which would have been preferable.

[sisterimperator]

And why didn't you?

Kill him earlier, that is.

Be more open with people

[wingdoovers]

[ For one thing, if he was more open with people, he wouldn't resent having a revelatory toplevel in this meme. ]

Big boobs

[megumin]

...

[profane_hero]

I know the heart wants what the heart wants, but I think you're gorgeous just the way you are.

The confidence to speak up for myself would be nice...

[bocchithemage]

[megumin]

Don't worry Yunyun, I can speak up for you!

[And Yunyun can... be her source of big boobs? That sounded better in her head.]

I wish I made more of an effort...

[utinam]

[If she had made more of an effort to look more human, then maybe her mother wouldn't have disappeared, maybe other humans would have an easier time accepting her, or it would've been harder for the media to twist the narrative against her.]

I should have spoken up about the things that worried me.

[green_eyed_robin]

[bubblegumheart]

It's not always easy to speak up in the moment.

I wished I had noticed what my younger brother was really thinking...

[lettersfrombel]

... and known what to do about it.

Of course, if I had, the last twenty years would have played out differently.

[And Bel doesn't sound convinced that would be worth it.]

[feistro]

Can't blame yourself for not being a mind-reader.

Just another ten centimeters of height

[flatcola]

...no wait there are more important things!

[green_eyed_robin]

The heart wants what it wants... [And Robin can't help the grin on his face.]

Eliminate any combat weaknesses

[wholefoods]

[poormeowmeow]

Yeah? You gotta lot of those?

[ She's just here to poke things. ]

i would never have listened to that thing.

[prickliest]

.. And I would have treasured my time with Delgal more, instead of.. what I did.

[professional_overthinker]

You couldn't have known what it was planning. Their whole deal was to trick people and they were very good at it.

I'd have told my ex-fiancee why I broke up with her instead of letting her assume.

[legalelite]

[OOC: Bio on journal. Voicetesting!]

I'm still pissed about how she treated my best friend, but that's no excuse.
