the feeling stick

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ a meme

Passive-aggressiveness, begone! For what you now hold in your hands embues you -- yes, you! -- with the power to unapologetically bare your soul to the world. You've got The Feeling Stick, and you can't give it away until you share a little something about yourself. Didn't ask for The Stick? The Stick don't care. The Stick only listens. So unburden those emotional woes, air out that dirty laundry, and clean the skeletons out of the closet. Things are about to get real. Real feelingy.

→ Post a comment with your character's name and fandom.
→ Tag others -- feel to roll a number between 01 and 08 for a scenario, or...
→ Have certain things you want to share with those you tag? Don't feel obligated to roll! Prompts are there for inspiration; pick which one fits your character best, if you prefer, or go with none.
→ Feel free to each have a stick, or to pass the one back and forth.
→ No matter what, play nice! Don't make me get even more grade school on your patootie.

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ the scenarios

① Pinocchio's Nose: Been keeping secrets and telling lies? It's time to come clean. Don't even think about trying to bullshit your way out of this one, buddy: the power of the feeling stick is mysterious and ancient, and by the wood of the cherry tree, you shall not and cannot tell a lie.

② Cupid's Arrow: Got the warm fuzzies? Well they're no good all locked away like that! Confess your feelings for the one you love, or confide in an acquaintance. Take it platonic and let a friend or family member know how much you cherish them. Either way, you're feeling might affectionate right about now.

③ The Ugly Stick: Let's figure out what's at the root of all this anger. Is there ever anything you've kept yourself from saying to spare someone's feelings? Do away with the niceties, and maybe venting (or whacking someone on the head) will solve all your problems. Or... make them worse.

④ Little Blue: What makes you sad? Don't keep it to yourself anymore. All those pent-up negative emotions are ready to spill over. Bad memories, painful regrets, and all the angst in between. If you weren't bummed out before, you may be now. It's okay to cry.

⑤ Got Wood: So much shame surrounding the subject of sex, it's no wonder it gets its own stick. Hidden fantasies, past transgressions, kinks you didn't even know you had. Let no lust go unliberated.

⑥ Travel Size: You've got something to say, but keep it short, yeah? See just how softly you can lay a blow, how harshly you can dish out an insult, or how romantically you can confess your love in seven words or less.

⑦ Fuck This!: Uh-oh. Someone hasn't been a good sport. The feeling stick rests in pieces in your palms -- you've broken it, intentionally or not, and now you will pay for violating the sanctity of nonjudgmental sharing. You know what happens to people who break the feeling stick, don't you? They're cursed to never share again. Well done, now your voice is stuck in a shell around a sea witch's neck... or something. Better figure out some other way to express yourself and break the curse, else you'll be trapped in mute repression forever.

⑧ Ol' Reliable: The default feeling stick. Whatever's on your mind, bringing you down or lifting you up, it's time to let it out. Essentially the wildcard option. Talk about anything and/or everything!

[.............. sudden urge to flee, rising—]

You didn't know, Brother?

[An illusion of the slightest hum, then -- ]

It seems like a childish custom.

Well, we were all children once. It's good to return to it once in a while.

[Even if the thought of Izana doing is that is very, very scary...]

And you think now is the time?

[He straightens in his seat, but then leans ever slightly forward.]

Zen.

[Not moving!]

Brother.

[Without so much as another word, he bops Zen on the head with the stick, which he then relinquishes his hold on. It falls to the floor without a sound.]

I have something to tell you, and it'll be within adult customs.

[asldjkasld Brother whyyyyyyyyy did you do that]

Buh!?

[also he does not like where this conversation is going]

Adult customs...?

How far have you gone with her?

[BROTHERRRRRRRRRRR]

W-W-What's that supposed to mean!?

[HAVE YOU OR HAVE YOU NOT HAD INAPPROPRIATE TIMES WITH HER, ZEN, THAT IS NOT A HARD QUESTION.

hard.

haha.]

Judging by your reaction, was it not good?

[aslkdjalsdada

CALM DOWN ZEN CALM DOWN THIS IS IZANA REMEMBER YOU HAVE TO BE CALM.]

... Brother, I am not having this conversation with you.

[That trademark smile is back. Somewhere in his mind, he's laughing airily.]

You already are.

... Ahaha.

[Weak. Laughter.]

I didn't think you were curious about that sort of thing...

Hm? Would you have shared it with anyone else?
