Changes

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.

[ with the shruggiest of shrugs, as if it's the most obvious thing in the world, ] You're you. You're an Avenger.

There's a hell of a lot of people out there who are thankful every day you care as much as you do.

You say that. What happens when I've cared enough?

When I’m done. And I gotta tell you, I’m almost there.

See, I figured you'd give some kind of ambiguous answer like that. I asked because I'm not sure you've ever known the meaning of the word.

If you ask me, though? You've already cared plenty for at least three lifetimes. You've literally helped avert apocalypses in the plural. Who does that?

So, if you're feeling a little burnt out, or like you need a vacation, ... you've more than earned it. And that doesn't make you any less admirable to the rest of us schmucks, even for a second.
