get your dumb secrets here

The Dumb Secrets Meme

We all have secrets. Some are dark, some are embarrassing, some could be life-changing if revealed.

Some are just incredibly stupid.

This is about those secrets; the secrets that are inconsequential enough that it's never been a matter of conscience that you haven't spoken of them, just that they're ridiculous and you've never cared to admit to them. But now you do. Now you feel compelled to tell your friend about the time you accidentally killed their houseplant because you thought soda would work fine to water it, or that you took their last piece of gum thinking they had an another pack and then pretended you had no idea what happened to it while they complained the rest of the day, or that you still have your high school crush's phone number in your contacts under the name "hopes and dreams" like a complete loser. That sort of thing.

Rules

• Post your character's name and canon, along with your preferences, in the subject line.
• Throw in some confessions! They can be through text, in person, to friends or enemies or complete strangers, whatever is fun.
  
• If you'd like to, include a 'confess to them' wildcard option, but there should be at least one confession as well.
  
• NO BLANK TOPLEVELS! They will be deleted.
  
• Don't hesitate to alter, update, or generally de-uglify this meme if you'd like to repost it. In fact, please do. Please.
  
• Have fun, everyone!

When our navigator's motion sickness made him give me the wrong fucking coordinates and almost sent us into a wall of flak in France instead of, you know, England, where we were supposed to be going, I lied to my superiors to cover his ass. I thought he felt bad enough already.

I occasionally search out and lurk the social media of the guy's life I ruined.

He tried to ruin my life first, but I still feel guilty.

(or feel free to confess to her!)

I have, on occasion, secretly poured decaf for annoying people.

I spent my entire first Scion paycheck at the Gold Saucer. One half went to my attempts to clear out the Moogle's Paw, only won a handful of toys. Other half went to buying all the sweet drinks I could afford.

Spent the day after laid up in bed with a stomach ache, told the Scions it was a cold.

When I go to the grocery store, sometimes I ‘sample’ things from the bulk aisle.

[humorous]

Because you have to, or because you want to?

Not a moral judgment, by the way.

[sugarandwhiskey]

A little of both?

I mean, I don't really need to anymore, but there was a time when I was the definition of both broke college student and starving artist so sometimes I'd sneak a little extra out when I went grocery shopping.

Now, I very occasionally take a gummy bear or two.

I tried marijuana once. When I was seventeen. I wanted to see what it felt like... 'scientific inquiry'. Wesker and I rolled a blunt and went out back behind the mansion, found this hill to sit on, spent the next hour smoking and looking out at the Arklay Mountains.

[ He shrugs. ]

I didn't really like it, it incapacitated me for too long, but... in the moment? It was nice. [ A pause. ] I still remember that. He always went on these nature walks to clear his head, but I... Colorado was never anything remarkable to me. But the Mary Jane made it feel that way for a couple hours. It was very John Denver. Fall of '79.

Before Stéphane accepted me as his pupil, a meeting was arranged in which I was supposed to play for him a small composition of my own making to display my level of skill. However, I was newly arrived from Denmark and my suitcase had gotten lost underway, that is my suitcase with the score of this composition that I was supposed to perform. Rather than panicking, I showed up the next day at his address, sat down at his beautiful instrument and improvised everything I couldn't specifically recall, 6 consecutive minutes of a splotchy muscle memory and otherwise, the very finest I could make up in the heat of the moment. When he accepted me on the spot, I was incredibly relieved and somewhat skeptical.

When he asked for my hand in marriage three years later, I began questioning whether it was truly my efforts at the piano that had made him take me in.

[astrogator]

That's awful. It must have shaken your foundations, worrying you hadn't been accepted on merit.

[suchislife]

I have full confidence in my merit. If Stéphane cannot see it, simply because his eyes are glued to other assets I may possess, then I'm unable to help him.

I once stole a comrade's pipe for a night. I wanted to know what was so great about smoking. Not entirely sure if I enjoy the act, but I did return the pipe once I was done.

I never had stuffed animals growing up, but after life became stressful, I started collecting them and now I have lots of teddy bears and an avocado.

I have a hard time imagining finding comfort in a stone fruit.

When I was thirteen I was having trouble figuring out if I was gay or straight so I got two other initiates and asked them to let me kiss them to see whether kissing a boy or a girl felt weirder. Long story short a senior monk caught me making out with one of them and we got stuck with extra chores for a month.

[my_own_will]

Oh, my! That must have been embarrassing.

... I'm mostly surprised you didn't end up making out with both of them at the same time, but I guess things didn't quite escalate that far before you were caught.

I once destroyed an Ayleid city that was built at the site of a forgotten shrine of mine. The residents called me "Terror of the Most Terror", afterwards.

Eh, things happen. Not the worst nickname you could've gotten.
