"Can You Handle Your Emotions?"

Emotions are... eh. We all have them, whether we want to or not. Some people have control over their emotions, and some people let their emotions control them. Where does your character fall on this spectrum? More importantly, what's their relationship with their emotions like? Do they bury everything deep, deep down inside, or are they the first one to cry over a sappy movie? Do they even know how they feel about what's going on inside? Pretty meta stuff.

• No blank top-levels.
• Instead, characters are to respond to the proposed question: can you handle your emotions? / are you in touch with your feelings?
• Get deep. Look within. Hear, think feel... or don't.

You mean in an, uhm, 'productive manner?' [ Almost airquotes for the therapy speak; see how well New York handled the brunt of his emotions. ] You're gonna need to get back to me later. I...I'm working on some stuff.

[wendypleakley]

I feel everything, ever, always!!!

[revengeisalie]

I, uhm, feel you there.

[wendypleakley]

It's so much all the time!

[fellfurthest]

[Passes a cup of coffee mixed with oolong tea.]

[It's surprisingly soothing and energizing.]

[Lucifer just considers the FEELING EVERYTHING EVER ALL THE TIME standard for Hell. So. He's not going to SOLVE the problem, just make it easier to deal with.]

[SILENTLY.]

[Also lest anyone worry it's poison, he's drinking some himself. Anyone in Hell needs it.]

Well, Manji-san always calls me a huge crybaby... and I guess he's right. Mmh. Yeah, I cannot refute that. Much as I try to be better about it.

[wingdoovers]

Are you not supposed to cry?

Well, of course. I am a performer, an artist. I must channel my feelings into the stage, else my music would ring false to the ears of my discerning fans.

I admit that I have not always had the most - control over my emotions. I do not claim to be perfect.

[zsaszy]

I am no one's judge or jury when it comes to emotional control, probably because I don't lose control over my emotions, I just don't see the need to restrain them.

I hope you channel your emotions into your art for the sake of your art and less for the control aspect.

Oh, yeah, I'm definitely a squasher. Some feelings are just better not to think about or focus on, you know?

[fantomen]

Which ones?

[occultesque]

The shitty ones.

Yes, I believe I am more than capable of handling my emotions when needed. It's and important skill to have on the battlefield after all.

Far too much could be at stake if I don't remain calm in certain situations.

[antivamp]

I stay grounded by doing my job of monster hunting.

Percy Jackson | riordanverse

[kelpheaded]

Yes, but sometimes I explode nearby sources of water.

amame doi | ai the somnium files

[amabie]

I am, but... that's not always a good thing. I carry them too much.

connor | detroit: become human

[exigere]

Considering the limited number of times I've had to experience them, I would say I've handled them remarkably well.

Ilya Rozanov - Heated Rivalry.

[rozanov81]

Yes. Is not hard.

[rippedoff]

Part of living an honest life is being honest with yourself.

I don't wear my emotions on my sleeve, but I'm probably not gonna try to hide how I feel about something either. I can use my words just fine.

Miquella | Elden Ring | OTA

[agentlerplace]

Well, of course I've always been great with them! But, when I realized that they were one of the greatest handicaps a god could have, I decided to handle them in the best way possible:

I shrived them from my self.

[cadens_stella]

[ No words.

Only the most judgmental of stares. ]

[agentlerplace]

Oh, hello Tarnished. May I help you?

[cadens_stella]

Mm... Help me? No.

Though, perhaps you might help me understand how carving out such vital parts of yourself will allow you to succeed where you mother couldn't.

Things are a bit more complicated these days. Physically, I can't feel much. However, my emotions appear to remain more or less intact. I've always been in control of my emotions, just not my curiosity. It's something you learn at an early age with a grim family such as mine. The only wizard among seven sorcerous siblings.

[springremedy]

Handle them? No. They're like a faucet that never shuts off. They just spill over.

Sometimes it's only a little, but most of the time it's too damn much.
