Flins | Genshin Impact

[lunarnocturne]

I resolve to not pick up strange artifacts that may or may not be the missing body parts of homicidal megalomaniacs.

[Lookin' at you, Rerir.]

Matt Murdock | MCU | OTA

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

Take better care of myself.

Or read more. That one seems more attainable.

[elsecall]

The two needn't be mutually exclusive.

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

I'm pretty sure I'm going to fail at both since they require time.

[elsecall]

A better suggestion, then: this year, learn how to craft more achievable resolutions.

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

If everyone could just do the things they resolve, there'd be no point in making them. They're usually supposed to be unrealistic at most and a push at best.

[elsecall]

[ oh. something about that makes her fundamentally uncomfortable. a little itchy. ]

I can accept that they're meant to be a challenge — but to aim to unrealistic at the outset? [ a quiet tut. ] A recipe for stagnation.

[ricochetingbullets]

That first one is gonna last all of three days.

Sophie Hallow *Original* OTA

[sugarandwhiskey]

My resolution is to try to be less..reckless.

Oh, and to pet more dogs.

[sinfluence]

Boring.

Try again.

V | Cyberpunk 2077

[mikoshi]

Try to be less... intense.

Someone asked me if I got a personality disorder.

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

I'm trying hard not to laugh.

[mikoshi]

No, go ahead. Laugh. I did.

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

Then I don’t feel so bad about it. At least all the interesting people I know have personality disorders.

[mikoshi]

They asked me if I knew that BPD was and I said nah, we don't have that stuff in Mexico or Japan.

[ Thinks on that. ] I'm told it's not an issue unless it causes issues, ya know? Don't think it does — I'm just a passionate guy. [ Who's thinking and feeling for two. ]

[suspectratio]

...You mean you don't?

[mikoshi]

That shit is against my culture.

[suspectratio]

Which culture? You have like ten.

[mikoshi]

Blame globalization for that one, amigo. But no, I mean the two obvious ones — in Japan it's seen as a personal failure and fucking up the wa, in Mexico they tell you to listen to some corridos and get the fuck over it 'cause you're machín.

So even if I had one, I'm shit outta luck.

[suspectratio]

You know this is America, right? You can be as fucked up as you want here.

[mikoshi]

Well, yeah — here you can admit it. Over there I'd pretend everything's daijoubu then throw myself in front of a shinkansen a week later.

... Which is why I don't think I got one.

[suspectratio]

...You sure things are all déjà vu, man?

[mikoshi]

Don't think you're using that term right... [ But got more important questions than the usage of some French term he can only half recall. ]

... why do you think I got a personality disorder?

[suspectratio]

Yeah? Was I close?

( he meant 'daijoubu,' but that's beside the point. )

I dunno. I guess I think anyone who cares a lot about stuff has gotta have something wrong with them. You know?

[mikoshi]

... wait, are you talking about daijoubu? That's 'OK' or 'alright' in Japanese. [ Snorts. ] And here I fuckin' thought my brain damage was gettin' worse.

Yeah, guess under capitalism givin' a shit qualifies one as certifiably cuckoo.

[suspectratio]

That's what I said, yeah. Déjà vu, die-Joe-boo.

It's the way our forefathers wanted it, dude. They were super daijoubu with capitalism.

[mikoshi]

[ Stifles a laugh. ]

Yeah, and I'm super daijoubu tellin' them to kiss my ass.

[ricochetingbullets]

I mean, I can definitely see that. You probably have something that needs to be diagnosed. But frankly I like you just the way you are.

jasnah kholin | stormlight archive

[elsecall]

Hm. To do better.

[ y'know, just...generally. do better. ]

Meredith Idlewild | OC

[henchgal]

I suppose I'd like to find a job where I'm given a bit more respect.

Shinobu Jacobs | No More Heroes 3

[rippedoff]

My new year's resolution? [She flails her prosthetic arms out in an exaggerated shrug.] Same as it is every other year: continue to improve upon myself, both mentally and physically, so I can carve out my own legend in my family's legacy.

[Some say she's already a legend in her own right, but Shinobu adamantly disagreed - she had many years let to hone her craft.]

But not just that - I also gotta improve more, so I can better teach my students.

...that, and eliminate more people that actively make the world a worse place.

Aemond Targaryen | House of the Dragon

[darotisentys]

To end this war victorious.

phyre | bloodlines 2

[nomadicflame]

No diablerie and I will attempt not to behead anybody who does not deserve it.

[sibylservice]

But setting them aflame, staking them and then leaving them entombed in concrete and getting someone else to behead them are still on the table?

[nomadicflame]

I have to maintain some sort of decorum, you understand.

[sibylservice]

I do, I do understand completely.

...as long as those options aren't being considered for me.

[nomadicflame]

Unless you run afoul of the Prince I will not be the one performing such acts.

I am still in her employ.

[sibylservice]

I don't plan to run a-fowl, a-flesh or a-good red herring of the Prince, no. I'm far too young and not nearly intelligent enough to be any trouble.

[Her smile is innocent as you please.]

Anasta | OC | OTA

[dwy]

My resolution will be to try more new things. To create an achievable goal, perhaps I will attempt five new experiences for multiple categories. For example: five new dishes, five new places to see, or make five new friends.

[It's an easy resolution when you've basically been living at the bottom of a lake surrounded by a forest for half a century.]

olgierd von everec | the witcher 3

[youflail]

To find something new. Exciting. Worthy of my interest.

Surely there must be something out there.

agatha harkness | mcu

[monstronaturae]

I’d say therapy but I think I’m a lost cause in that regard.

I guess I should start by allowing myself to grieve.

phantom ( ghost )

[fantomen]

I'm gonna try not to yap so much.. [ 😔 ]

sebek zigvolt | twisted wonderland

[sparkbite]

I will become the best attendant that Wakasama could ever have! This is always my aspiration!

haruhi iyasu | original

[springremedy]

Sleep more than four consecutive hours... at least five times a week!

[ On a small slip of paper off to the side, something that reads more like a to-do list than her resolution brainstorming:

Eat breakfast
Stretch
Buy something frivolous
Be nicer
Limit contact with anyone whose name starts with a 'T'

]

Soap MacTavish | COD MW2

[grit_and_glitter]

I'm giving up the bottle and staying clear of any danger that’d get me killed, for once. If you see me reaching for the bottle or running tae danger, tackle me. Cannae promise I won’t throw you over my shoulder before you do.

[ricochetingbullets]

Well, I can at least promise I will stop you in one of those two hypothetical situations. But I am not gonna put forth the time and effort to try and keep you out of danger when I know for a fact you're just gonna go right back to it.

Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter | MCU

[ricochetingbullets]

To finally gain revenge on all of my enemies.

Also to try and find a permanent home again.

[Muttered quietly:]

....And maybe go back to therapy.

kiyoaki matsugae | spring snow | ota

[oldwarsfinished]

I want more dreams that do not come to happen.
