HELP ME PLEASE! the meme



We all have something we either can't do, or can't do alone. Luckily there's a meme for that.

HOW TO PLAY

○Post with your character.  Don't put their name and canon in the header.  Instead put something that they don't know how to do and would like to learn, or something they might want help or practice with.

examples: I can't swim • I need to clean this whole house so I can go to a ball and seduce a prince • I'd like to practice throwing pitches with someone

○Look around the meme! If you see someone that you think your character can be of some help to... tag them!

Of course! Forgive me being canon-blind, though

It's a little difficult to predict, thus hard to plan for. I know what pisses me off. Running into a problem I can't solve. Especially when lives are on the line. It puts me under a time pressure that I can't afford to fumble and fail.

In an ideal situation, stepping back would be fine. But when these situations hit, I need to be there, solving the problem, so people I care about don't die. But I can give breathing exercises a shot.

Ah I see. Yeah, that does make it difficult.

I imagine if it's the catharsis of breaking something that you find soothing, maybe look into getting something designed for that. Like one of those squishy balls.

Not exactly. More like... just a burst of energy with my rage. Like I just snap. Then I lash out at the closest thing, which tends to be the tool in my hand or the items on my desk. Very, very, very rarely has it ever been at a person. Though, the person I did direct my rage at, deserved it. Not that I knew it at the time, and he did hit me first. So, maybe not a stress ball as much as a punching bag?

[He didn't know Jay was Zoom at the time or he probably wouldn't have let Allen break up their fight.]

Well, it's good that you don't typically take it out on a person. Punching bag might work, but it might be hard to have one with you where you work.

You'd be surprised what equipment we have on hand at STAR Labs. I think the only objection would be from Ramon. He seems to find it amusing when I throw something. As long as it's my equipment and not his.
