Would You Rather...?

[forthememes]

Would You Rather...?
How to Play
One person asks "Would you rather...?" followed by two options. They can range from mundane to outrageously horrific: be a cat OR be a dog, save starving children in Africa OR have a real working lightsaber, etc. Others decide which they would choose of the two given options. Friendships are created or destroyed.

The Rules
1. Comment with your character with a "Would you rather...?" starter.
2. Respond to other characters with your character's choice out of two (probably horrible) choices.
3. DISCUSS.

Would you rather write a boring story that sells or an interesting story that doesn't?

[dakarois]

[aliter]

Interesting story. No reason to give into mediocrity just for the sake of it, though I can't deny the allure of the money.

Though I suppose if you wrote something boring and got tired of it, you could always just kill your characters off dramatically.

[rituale]

Boring first, get rich, then pivot to doing things I actually enjoy writing.

As much as I enjoy books, though, I'm not actually creative enough to be a fiction writer.

[pasodobles]

An interesting story. I'm not much of a writer, but if something isn't interesting, is it even worth doing?

[wreckitroth]

Who's buying the boring one?

Would you rather remain single or start dating your brother's ex?

Re: Would you rather remain single or start dating your brother's ex?

[spacetogrow]

Dating any of my brothers' exes would be too weird. Granted, I was glad to leave home, so that also means I don't want to date anyone I knew growing up.

[dakarois]

Remain single, because the alternative would mean death.

[wendypleakley]

I think if any of my brother's exes were interested in me, I would be immediately very concerned.

[humanfriend]

... Why'd my brother and his ex break up?

Would you rather be better at elemental magic or shape-shifting?

[spacetogrow]

You can assume you get a bit of both, but which do you specialize in?

[dakarois]

Shape-shifting. Easier to sneak around.

[pluviosus]

I'm already basically an elemental creature so I guess I'd rather just stay this way, you know?

Would you rather...

[astrograce]

Have a constant, high-pitched ringing in your headset or...or always have to wear a spacesuit that makes itching impossible?

[itsorange]

Are you kidding me right now?? Do you see what I'm wearing? I have to deal with both. All the time!

[mercilesslife]

I do not like either of those options.
I suppose the itching one for it is not a constant like the f-first.

Re: Would you rather...

[spacetogrow]

How loud is the ringing? People can tune out normal noises, but I have sensitive hearing.

Would you rather be always be under-dressed or overdressed?

[rozanov81]

[eyescovered]

Overdressed. You might look out of place, but at least you'll look good.

[formula3]

Under-dressed. I'd feel less awkward and I can pass it off as personal style, or say it's for my sponsors.

would you rather live a long but unfulfilling life, or live a shorter life chasing your dreams?

[tendencies]

[emperorssmile]

I’ve already done the latter, so I’m working on the former this time around. It’s still fulfilling, though, so maybe that doesn’t count?

Would you rather sing or play an instrument?

[cornholes]

[inferius]

[ a snort. ] I'd show Papa up if I could sing, too.

[ kind of a joke, but he is a badass guitarist. ]

Would you rather...

[avunculicide]

Be publicly accused and executed for something antithetical to your life's work, or suffer a fate worse than death to maintain your integrity?

[contractdestruction]

Both terrible options. But being saddled with accusations of something I actively abhor would be more galling, so I choose the other.

PICK YOUR POISON: would you rather...

[wealldosillythings]

...chew on chalk OR soap?

...play a life or death stakes of Monopoly OR Risk?

...pluck every hair on your body and then immediately dive into a pool of rubbing alcohol, OR have your whole body wrapped in duct tape and all your hair ripped off?

[pluviosus]

Oh, duct tape for sure. I'm not really a hairy person, though, so I guess that's the easy answer.

Would you rather...

[ricochetingbullets]

[Up to date on DD:BA but mark spoilers for others!]

1. ...be a good person morally but miserable with your life or a bad person without any morals but happy with your life?
2. ...Prefer to die by being shot or stabbed?
3. ...Own an elephant the size of a cocker spaniel or a cocker spaniel the size of an elephant?

Re: Would you rather...

[spacetogrow]

An elephant the size of a cocker spaniel; I couldn't fit anything elephant-sized in many of the places I live. What about you?
