The IC Paranoia Meme

[lambchops]

Remember this from back in the day on LJ? Well now it's time for the IC version!

1) Post a comment with your character stating their name, canon, and any prefs. Do not leave your comment blank.

2) List 10 (or more, or less if you like) single-sentence statements by your character talking about other characters they know, but do not name anyone who these statements are directed towards! (For example: "I act like I hate you, but I don't know what I'd do if you weren't here.")

3) Statements can be affectionate, malicious, or a mix of both. (It works best if they're secrets or things that characters would never say directly.) They can be directed at canon-mates, characters they know through CR, or even characters they are out of touch with or don't know but would like to, but all identities must remain a mystery!

4) Tag other characters who yours suspects might be talking about them. Try to get them to fess up or just be paranoid about all the uncertainty.

5) Remember that all statements and responses must be in character, not about players.

6) Have fun!

Comments

[timothydrake]

1. We fight constantly, but I still consider you family.

2. I miss you. Every day.

3. I wish I could live up to your expectations.

4. I fantasize about you taking what you want from me, forcing me to give myself up.

5. You're my best friend, and I never want to live in a world without you in it.

6. You're my hero.

Catherine Jameson | Original Character/Batman OFC

[notadamnfurball]

1. I wish I had been able to know you from childhood.
2. You are a mystery to me, and I'd like a chance to change that.
3. I would have a good, long laugh if someone killed you.
4. It's a shame that you won't be a little more open with me.
5. I don't like your MO, but I'd like to get to know you anyway.
6. You are strange to me, which makes you oddly fascinating.

[arkham_doctor]

You know, I have a feeling several of those could be about me.

The Lone Wanderer (good karma) | Fallout 3

[thewateroflife]

1. I would give anything to have you with me. Anything.

2. I used to find you alluring. Now part of me hopes you've been eaten by something as venemous as your lies.

3. Don't let others get you down. You can do much better with your life.

4. I hope you aren't like him, but I'm beginning to think you are.

5. I'm sorry about what happened.

Sherlock Holmes | Sherlock (BBC)

[consulting_freak]

1. Perhaps if my mother had been more like you, I would be a much kinder man than I am today.

2. I reluctantly grant that you have some amount of technical skill, but your constant jumping to conclusions and lack of faith in me is proof enough that you're as much of an idiot as I always express to you.

3. You're the only person I could count on in my darkest moment and I am truly grateful to you.

4. To this day I'm not sure what I've done to deserve your viper's tongue, but I can't be bothered to ask you nor does your opinion hold much leverage over me.

5. I've never had someone that I care more about than my work, but you've somehow become that person whether you realise it or not.

6. Your cunning and intelligence honestly intrigued me which is why you will always have a special place in my mind palace as the one who almost beat me.

7. As loathe as I am to admit it after what we've been through, I suppose some part of me should thank you for making me realise that I am not only human - in terms of emotions and limitations - but I am also happier this way.

8. I rely on our mutual resentment to avoid expressing that much like you toward me; I worry about you constantly.

9. You gave me a chance before anyone else would and as much as I would like to continue to believe it's because you're desperate and you need me, I am starting to realise that I may need your willful blind-spot just as much.

[formersurgeon]

[Silently pairs names with sentences.]

[rather_be_surfing]

1) I should have told you no, but I had more important things to do than argue with you. Sorry.
2) In another time or place, if circumstances were different, it would have been you instead of her.
3) I'm just as scared as you are. I just hope you're as determined to hold on as I am.
4) Sometimes, I'd rather give in.
5) If I didn't already know the answer to the result, then it would have been 'yes' to the first question.
6) You're not as clever as you think you are.
7) Neither are you.
8) You're a whole person. But I'm afraid of what they've had to do to you to keep you the way you are.
9) You are adorable. Yes, I just used that word.
10) If I wasn't so sure of what you'll eventually do, I'd actually like you.

Joan Watson | Elementary

[formersurgeon]

1. As much as I want to believe I don't care what you think, I do, and your support of my work means more to me than I'll admit.

2. I respect you greatly, and I bet you're an amazing father.

3. I used to want to meet you. I'm not sure I do anymore.

4. Every time we're working a case together, I look forward to seeing you.

5. If it were up to me, you'd be in solitary for the rest of your life. If you hurt him again, I will do everything humanly possible to make it happen.

6. Kissing you would be weird. I'd still do it.

7. I'm not gay. But a "sapphic dalliance" is somehow appealing.

8. I underestimated you when we met, and I'm sorry.

9. I'd love it if you'd teach me how to build a fire and tell me where you get those shoes.

10. You're the first person I've met that I want to spend the rest of my life with.

Hange Zoe | Attack on Titan

[deviantlyhates]

1. I want to study you.

2. I want to study you.

3. I want to study you.

4. I want to study you.

5. I want to study you.

6. I miss you.

7. I miss you.

8. I miss you especially.

9. You waste too much time with that.

10. Don't die out there.

[humanityswrath]

Gee, those first five are gonna be tough...

Bruce Banner | MCU

[broke_harlem]

[Aimed more towards characters than specific players, except for the obvious examples.]

1. You are the first change in my life that has ever been for the better. I never figured out how I got you to stay by my side for so long, because I obviously never deserved you.
2. I have absolutely no idea why you let me hang around. I'm half convinced it's because you have a death wish. But - thank you, anyway.
3. Keep up the good work of keeping the above-mentioned not-dead. You seem like a very level-headed and sweet woman, and I wish you luck.
4. We didn't exactly start on the best terms. But I'm still sorry.
5. Thank you for going up against the Other Guy on the Helicarrier. A lot more people would've been hurt if you hadn't.
6. Speaking of the Other Guy, good job in reeling him in. He obviously trusts you, and it's not hard to see why. Thank you for what you told me when you first met me, too.
7. Yeah. I don't know you. We should have a legitimate conversation sometime, since we're on the same "team", and all.
8. How are you even still alive?
9. You're a great teammate and one of my best friends. I will always eat ice cream with you, no matter what horrendous movie you want to watch.
10. Thank you for not being afraid. And for saying that you'd run away to a third world country with me. Though, despite your brilliance, both of those things lead to the conclusion that you have to be insane.

[mechatronic]

I don't have a deathwish. [Yeah, that one might not actually be about him, but he's certainly going to act like he's completely confident in his stab in the dark.]

I prefer to think of those kinds of tendencies as more like--[And there's a brief pause as he rotates his hand as if trying to urge his brain along to finding the right word.]--more like participation in dangerous sports.

Silk | The Belgariad/Mallorean Series | OTA

[smooth_as]

1. I hope I did everything you needed of me, even if I couldn't help you in the end.

2. I'm sorry I was never there for you. I swear to the gods I tried, but I don't have it in me.

3. I understand why you made the choice that you did, but I'll still never forgive you for it.

4. I would have let go if I could have. You know that.

5. You were right about me. You always have been.

6. I still half suspect you'll give me reason to regret trusting you eventually. It might just be worth it though.

7. Even if I'd never admit it aloud, over the years your friendship has come to mean the world to me.

8. I'd do it all over again without a second thought. I trust you completely...and you know just how much that means, coming from me.

9. You're everything I never knew I needed.

10. I'll make up for every lost year and then some if I can.

11. I may have been too late to make a difference, but I think you would have appreciated my counterpoint...for what little it's worth.

12. You're going to make him proud. Never doubt that.

13. It's been a privilege to watch you become the man you are now.

14. You deserve every bit of it more than I can say.

15. He couldn't have made a better choice.

[soft_as]

[Liselle reaches up and trails her fingertips along the side of his face, and smiles fondly at him.]

Everything, hm?

Yosuke Hanamura | Persona 4

[advisor_type]

1. I have no idea where I'd be now if you weren't around. No homo.
2. I might give you a hard time, but I do care. You're sort of like the little brother I never had.
3. I wish you'd just get out of the damn closet already.
4. I have more respect for you than I probably let on.
5. You shouldn't stress out so much about what people think of you. You're pretty damn awesome the way you are.
6. Out of the whole group, I feel like you're the one I connect with the least, and it kind of bums me out. We should hang out more often when you can spare some time. Doesn't have to be like, y'know, that, just as friends.
7. I've done things to myself while thinking about you that I feel bad about in hindsight.
8. You're the only person I've ever wished death on and not felt bad about it later.
9. I'm still up for that date if you are, y'know.

Draco Malfoy | Harry Potter (Post-War, Pre-Ep) | OTA

[dracolucmalfoy]

1. I still can't stand you.


2. Merlin, just shut up already. Nobody cares, least of all me.


3. I'll never forget.


4. Thank you. For everything. I did notice.


5. You are the only one that inspires me to desire to commit physical violence just by seeing you. Be thankful I have an exceptional restraint.


6. You're not nearly as useless as you use to be. Don't let it go to your head.


7. There is much I would have changed, but what happened... it is first on the list.

[the_hierophant]

I do hope this rather juvenile exercise in passive-aggressiveness doesn't extend to me, Draco.

ooc: as you can see, i caved.

Haruki | Hybrid Child oc

[cunningdoll]

1) You're cute... but I don't know what to think of you.
2) I don't hate you, but don't fuck with me or I'll fuck you up.
3) While you're cute, I don't like you much.
4) I'm glad that when things were tough, you never gave in. We've only met once, but I'm proud of you, kid.
5) I. Hate. You.
6) I never thought this would happen to me. Us...
7) I want to do more with you.
8) We've never met in person, but I've seen you. I look at you, and I want to bash your brains in.
9) Don't expect something for nothing.
10) You're adorable.

[strayhound]

... I hope this isn't all about me.

Sirius Black | Harry Potter

[alwaysimpure]

1) I thought I'd be the one to die.

2) I'll commit the murder I was imprisoned for. Don't get comfortable.

3) I wish I'd been able to trust you. I'm sorry.

4) It's my fault. This isn't how your life was supposed to be. I'd do anything to make it up to you.

5) You made my life better by being in it.

6) I'm glad you died before the consequences could really hit.

7) You should be dead.


[ooc: Going with timeline of 'while he's in Azkaban', more or less, but feel free to come at him from whenever.]

Post-Azkaban?

[moonscars]

Dear me, Sirius. You do have some rather morbid bones to pick with people, I must say.

Charisa Sosa ~The A-Team~

[captsosa]

1. I never deserved a second chance with you but, I'm glad I was able to take it.

2. I can't ever lose you, I love you too much to even think of what my life would be like without you.

3. I'm sorry I walked in on you -- you know that one time when you were uh....

4. You'll always have a place in my heart no matter what team you're batting for.

5. You annoy the hell out of me sometimes but, I'm honored to call you a friend.

[egotisticaljerk]

May I be bold and guess that #2 is about me?

General Onyx | Dragonball OC

[ex_deathdrawn10]

1) I, known for condemning things of faith and fate, believe you can do anything, and wish you the greatest luck.

2) Your admiration is welcomed and unwarranted.

3) Shame you speak such venom of me out of sight...do rectify it (though saying so I know you won't) – time we took ourselves a step farther.

4) The irony of your kindness heartens me.

5) I detest that you refused to leave through the meat locker...I'll apologize one day.

6) The allure of the mundane...you shattered my perceptions and I laud you for it!

7) Warm blood's wasted in you.

8) I haven't caught the next clue – rare do I meet so skilled a partner!

9) Your vehement defense of women the very picture of deceit leaves no breath spared...times I wish I could be as good.

10) You believe yourself far less than you are.

Abed Nadir | Community

[coolcubed]

1. I never had a friend that I'd go crazy over losing before. It's really cool, but now I'm kind of worried about the long term ramifications.

2. It was never only all about toning us down. I'm sure you knew that, though.

3. You'll always humble me, but you'll also always terrify me. Thanks.

4. Sorry I narrated about your impending death while you were trying to eat your sandwich.

5. You know you've always been the main character, right? I could tell from our first class together. It's cool that I could make myself part of a good supporting cast.

6. I still don't get why you're such a wildcard. You'd probably like how much you beat out the usual tropes and statistics, though.

7. I don't need to be fixed, but objectively speaking, I can understand why you always tried so hard to find a way to do it at first.

8. Please don't butter yourself in front of us ever again.

Peter Pevensie | The Chronicles of Narnia | Post Prince Caspian.

[wunderking]

1. It's later; we need to have that talk.

2. I have nothing but faith in you.

3. I'm glad you're in my life. I think I might've gone mad without your support and guidance.

4. You keep breaking my heart.

5. I shouldn't have favorites, but I do and you are.

6. When someone says Narnia, you'll always be the second person I think of.

7. I am a bit jealous. More than anything though, I'm proud.

8. I wish you'd taught me as much about letting go and stepping back, as you did standing up and holding on.

9. We have a lot in common. I'm just not quite so vertically challenged.

10. You were my biggest, and first, regret.

Lord Voldemort >> Harry Potter >> OPEN bb.

[hallowedhorcrux]

1.) You introduced me to Magic; you have only yourself to blame for what I became.

2.) Do you realize the pain I endured? You think your loss of love can compete?

3.) Your insanity shows itself more and more. I shall have to leash you soon.

4.) What a coward. I would gladly kill you.

5.) Sometimes, it is like looking into a mirror.

6.) For Muggles, I gave you prestige beyond anything you could have gained for yourself.

7.) I wanted to be the one to see the life leave your eyes. The sight would have been inspiring indeed.

8.) Did you think I would make it easy to find them? Did you think I wouldn't have an army lying in wait? I could tell you their names and their crimes. I have never forgotten.

9.) What would they think if they knew? Would they desert me?

10.) Who thought an orphan would rise to power?

[the_hierophant]

It pains me to know some have been so ungracious to you, my Lord.

Queen Porenn | The Belgariad/Malloreon

[littlemother]

1. He'd never admit it, but he needs you, you know. You keep him honest, in a peculiar way.

2. You've grown up admirably, and you've far outshined everyone's greatest expectations. We're all so very proud of you.

3. It hasn't been easy on my own, but I've managed. I can only hope I've done you proud.

4. Of all the things I could have given you, I believe it was my love that made you strong.

5. Perhaps if you stopped keeping such careful score, you'd realize how much more we could accomplish if we really worked together.

6. I know you'll take good care of him. I don't think I could have hoped for anyone more brilliant and well-suited to the task.

7. I do so enjoy your company; I wish I could enjoy it more. I've never met someone who understands me quite like you do.

8. I wish that I could love you a little less, or that you could me -- or that you had ever been more honest with me.

9. Patience is a virtue, my dear, but it's one I fear you'll never learn. You seem to be quite content making your own way.

[smooth_as]

Ah...but we can't go making like easier for ourselves, now can we?

normandy (+1), pre-suicide mission // idek what i'm doing but this was a fun exercise.

[interitum]

1) The memories you hold are yours to cherish, and yours only. Do not allow anyone to take them from you.

2) I cannot fathom your pain, but I also cannot forget it. I can only pray that one day you will find the peace you deserve.

3) Your eyes might only look upon my body with disgust, but when I look back at them I see his pain reflected there.

4) To claim we share a similar pain would be presumptuous, for I am likely a child in your eyes. Yet still I would like to sit beside you, and share in the quiet.

5) I hope that one day, you will look beyond the vessel and see the potential these souls have.

6) Your fire gives me reason to breathe again.

7) I may not agree with your methods, but I am quite taken with you. You fascinate me.

8) If only I could stomach so easily the words that drop from your mouth like bile. We are not the same, and to be compared to the likes of you is insulting.

9) I believe there are countless hearts that will echo the good you've done. I hope that one day you will understand that you made the right choice in not becoming like him, even if the pain of loss is one that does not fade with time.

10) Please stop ramming your skull into my door. I respect your instincts, but the elevator is in the other direction.

11) You are squandering so much good in you. I can't trust you. But I will bite my tongue, and fight beside you regardless, for it is not your arm I am sworn to.

12) You've made mistakes that disturb me, but my respect for you is unparalleled. Without you, we would surely perish.

13) You are the organic lifeblood of this ship. But this is hardly a confession, because I don't think you need me to tell you that.

14) I love you. I will never be able to erase the pain my years of cowardice has carved into your spirit, but I will spend every moment I can by your side, until my dying breath. That is a promise.

15) You did make me laugh. You only weren't able to see it.

David | Animorphs

[sixthanimorph]

[Aimed more at specific muses than canon examples since hi forever a lone canon warrior. If you think your muse is here, they probably are.]

1. You gave me a reason to keep fighting. I didn't appreciate it then, but I do now.

2. I wish I could get you to take me seriously.

3. It's dangerous to care as much about people as you do. I ought to warn you, but I don't want you to change.

4. Stop being so nice. It makes me think you're up to something.

5. I don't want to beat you anymore. But I do want to prove to you I could if I wanted.

6. I'm not a good guy, but you make me want to try to be better.

7. Try not to take it too personal.

8. I'd follow you onto a battlefield any day.

9. Give me half a chance and I'll be happy to shut that loud mouth of yours.

10. You almost destroyed me. I'm going to find you, and when I do, I promise I'm gonna return the favor.

[vaeled]

1. You're so much better than you want us to think you are.

2. I don't know if I'll ever forgive you or myself for how it ended.

3. You're more than you think you can be.

4. Sometimes the hardest things to do are also the best things.

5. I hope one day you find a place you truly belong.

6. I've heard so much about you I wish I had the chance to know you.

7. I know it's a sin, but at times I envy you what you've found in Kirkwall.

8. Do you ever get tired of the lies?

9. I won't rest until I have your head mounted on a pike.

10. Yes, enchantment.

[tevintersdreadwolf]

Talk of sin rings a bit hollow when severed heads are involved.

Cain Hargreaves | Earl Cain Series | OTA

[prince_of_poisons]

1. I love you. I'm so sorry.

2. It's one of my greatest fears that you'll grow up and leave me.

3. Somehow, against all odds, I trust you.

4. I'm sorry, for everything.

5. I pity you. I don't hate you. Never did, really.
