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.

Comments

I should have gone to a different college, or skipped it altogether.

[infinite1ups]

Going on that mission was the biggest mistake.

[cafeultra]

I should've just left home and never looked back.

Some stupid part of me still wanted their approval.

Elphelt Valentine 🍀 Guilty Gear 🍀 OTA

[travailler]

I would have stopped Mother instead of playing right into her plans.

[So, so many dead people.]

[valuant]

It isn't always so easy with family. Sounds difficult.

Chitose Fujinomiya | LAD: IW | OTA

[tangofortwo]

I've have spoken up sooner, threats of death and blackmail be damned.

Should've stayed the hell away that guy.

"...I should have been more resolved when it truly mattered. If I had been, then none of this would have occurred. Everything would have happened as it should have, had I stuck to my guns."

Tieve (Tav) | Baldur's Gate 3 | ota

[tiveragh]

I don't know what I could change. And actually, that's the problem. I've never felt like I'm in control of my own life, even my own body sometimes.

[The tadpoles haven't helped, although they're certainly not the only cause.]

Maedhros | the Silmarillion | OTA

[holdshisown]

I should not have sworn that damned oath...

I'd like to be able to trust people.

[orthodoxies]

[tl,dr: detective whose significant other/co-worker was a dirty cop and now she's out for revenge -- bringing her back after a super-long rp break, so appreciate literally anyone who wants to hang out with her.]

Saying no to the job.

[packslightly]

[maskirovka]

Difficult, isn't it.

Arpad Kovacs, American Arcadia

[sciencealwaysfindsaway]

[Something he's wanted his entire adult life:]

I wish my mustache was white like the rest of my hair. It's just so awkward having a black mustache and a white beard.

[And no, bleaching or shaving the mustache, shaving the beard, or dying the rest of his hair aren't options.]

What I did.

[yellowrivers]

[You know, a nice, specific answer. Not at all vague.]

John Constantine | Hellblazer (original run) | OTA

[constantblaze]

...You know, it's a funny thing. There's so much shit you'd think I'd change. Just layers and layers of it, all the way down to the bone.

But I never actually do. Maybe I don't want to, after all.

Fuck it. I'm not changing anything but my underwear.

I wouldn't have powers.

[nogodsnoheroes]

I would have just fucking died. Saved everyone a whole lot of shit. And they'd've cried like hell, and it would have fucking sucked, and then...

I don't know. Then they'd've learned to live with it.

[[OOC: OC, info and CWs in her journal.]]

we meet again~

[abandonhumanity]

That's typically how it works. [No tone, really - a mere expression of agreement. He's sure she's not happy to see him anyway, considering their last encounter (particularly how it ended).

[Oh, well. They're both here.]

I don't remember you mentioning powers. [Casual, again.]

I should just have told him. Why didn't I ever just tell him?

[drawingnear]

Cared a little less.

[maskirovka]

[endof_theline]

Isn't that part of what makes us human?

[freights]

[ he clicks his tongue, shakes his head. ] Against your nature.

I'd run a more successful shrine and be swimming in donations.

[spellcard]

Maybe I would have warned him.

[briefcasekid]

[ What else could he have done? He was nine. ]

I'd die in more comfortable shoes.

[borrowyourcoat]

[ It's really hard to run for your afterlife in dress flats. ]

There's no point in wallowing in regrets. What's done is done.
