Take your pick: my wife dying, losing my leg, or the other horrors I've witnessed. Honestly, though, losing my wife.

[bumblebee_tights]

Losing someone you love is the worst.
Although the other things sound bad too.

I'm sorry.

4 years of watching my last friend get the life sucked out of him

[heroicdream]

If I gave him any chance at all...it was all worth it. But he deserved so much more.

[ [cw: discussion will likely involve references to unethical medical experimentation, extended comas, and violent death though he won't be graphic unless specifically asked] ]

Shot in the face in a hunting accident.

[deeryme]

It's not a funny story!

[coveredinratblood]

No. But who knows how long it would've taken you to show up otherwise.

[And Niffty quite literally cannot picture Hell without Al in it, so she'd say things worked out okay.]

Mary died because I didn't listen to her warning.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Many other options besides, but that's the most recent one.]

My father, my best friend, my priest and my mentor were all murdered and my girlfriend died twice

[thedevilsworkisneverdone]

Not to mention that whole blinded by chemicals thing when I was a kid.

[ployboy]

[This is maddeningly familiar and thus simple enough to follow, until Tim looks positively struck towards the end there.

It's not even a New Fear Unlocked kind of bluescreen but still he blurts out,] Like the- same girlfriend? Twice?

[--oh and now he's mortified.] Sorry- that's rude! You don't have to answer. I'm- I'm so sorry.

I had to leave Italy.

[mixology101]

I made a wish.

[dowhile]

[ Yeah, that just about sums it up. ]

[spearsaint]

Huh. At least you're being honest about it.

My sister's death.

[eatsyourheart]

[Hannibal sits with the same composure he brings to everything — back straight, hands folded, expression drawn into a quietly realised grief. But there's a stillness about him that feels almost unnatural, as though even his practised elegance has tightened into restraint.

He doesn't speak, doesn't elaborate at first.] I wasn't only her brother but also her guardian and I — [The sentence fractures and Hannibal turns his head, lets his gaze drift, distant, as though he's looking through layers of time instead of across the room. Presses his lips together briefly. When he exhales, it's quiet, measured.] I failed to protect her.

[darkly_dreaming]

[ Dexter's calibrations are kind of failing him here. His expression keeps shifting from curious to confused, to his best synthetic empathy, to something-- something unnamable that he can't put words to. He doesn't feel... but sometimes, something comes close. ]

Losing a sibling... that you were close to... isn't easy

[ He can still remember the smile on Brian's face when he died. ]

(( ooc: YO~ Feel free to ignore me if I am bugging you too excessively I just love your dude <3 ))

I died

[hiddenchimera]

..I was brought back tho. It was pretty awful. But not as painful as when I was strapped to the ghostrider train and used as an engine.

I let fear stop me from protecting the people that matter

[chem_break]

I was sacrificed to a demon by my classmates and went to Hell

[uptightboy]

I've spent 70 years there.

My brother.

[desertflower]

[ Info & permissions. Please mind the content warnings. ]

Re: My brother.

[againstgod]

Family can be difficult.

[ but she cherishes her brother even when he's insane. ]

Probably the lobotomy. But the camp's a close second.

[coveredinratblood]

[She shrugs.] Niffty hasn't been okay since 1942.

[deeryme]

[ Reaches out to ruffle her hair with a rictus grin. What can you do in the face of humanity's inhumanity? ] They didn't deserve you.

That pegasus wannabe kicked me in the face again!!

[pettymuch]

[Despite the large patch covering his broken nose, he's still got his sunglasses on, shattered glass, bent frame and all]

finally fulfilling my promise to my brother

[againstgod]

[being worded like that frames it in such a positive way, alexiel realizes expressionlessly. perhaps it was--to rosiel and everyone else involved.

but she would still take another round of painful cycle of death and rebirth than reliving the moment she killed him.]

You

[ chibi, salaryman, adult all available ]

CW - CA

[havenomercy]

Being my dad's punching bag.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

All this time and you never said...

[Sherlock can appreciate some of why, but everything else she told and not that part?]

Losing my eye.

[darotisentys]

Though it came with victory.

My entire family was murdered, no one knows who did it...

[gretel]

... My aunt was blamed by the media, and we spent my entire life hating one another because of it.

[retaliatings]

Did you find some sort of closure with your aunt?

[ just going to blanket cw/tw for any subthreads ] ...getting my period.

[prayercloset]

[ Huh. Nobody who gets one likes it, exactly, but what made hers so awful?

That was the beginning of the end for her. Emphasis on beginning; her coming-of-age story was a coming-of-Armageddon. ]

CW: bullying, sexual assault, being drugged

[angelsneedangels]

[CW: suicidal ideation possible]

I went to a party, and I never go to parties. I had one sip of wine, and then drank water. I don't remember most of the night, and now there's a viral video everyone is sharing of me letting multiple people kiss me and touch me. I don't remember doing that. Now everyone's seen it, even my family, and no one believes me. They think I got wasted and made out with a bunch of people on purpose.

It's like I'm in a nightmare and I can't wake up.

Being kidnapped.

[stuckinthehouse]

Although I guess the actual kidnapping wasn't the worst part, but everything else stems from it.

My father used me as a human shield so he could get in position to commit suicide in front of me

[artinmyblood]

As a child I was forcefully remade into a living weapon to serve a cult I don't believe in.

[crossfirer]

Hey, I didn't write that -- mind your damn business!

[bountyfull]

[ This is what white-out tape is for. So, despite it being a little meta, Vash is going to wordlessly tape over sentence, double layered. He dusts his hands off, then twirls the tape around one finger before he looks over at Wolfwood and offers him one of those painfully soft smiles. ]

My father attempted to have me assassinated as a teenager which left to lifelong poisoning

[cryptant]

Well, I suppose that should cover it. My life was blessed outside those incidents.

[beautiful_carnivore]

Do not forget the failure at your Lostbelt. You finally tasted defeat for the first time in your life.

[That is the Alter Ego assumes that Wodime minds losing.]
