The Feeling Stick Meme

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
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Stolen from here.
retraced: (are you kidding me?)

I - I don't really get myself into too much, do I?

[Maybe?!]
ferventknight: (that you've been decieved)

you better

[ ....staring. And shoving the stick back at you, fuck you. ]
retraced: (there's too many egos left to bruise)

never stopping

[personal profile] retraced 2012-03-20 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[...Sigh. Taking the stick.]

I...what am I supposed to say...

Really, I'm relieved to hear you say that.
ferventknight: (you're like an unwinding cable car)

GOOD

[ Blinking. ]

..Why would you be?
retraced: (and my head splits)

[personal profile] retraced 2012-03-20 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
I deserve to be hated by you.
retraced: (don't you feel like severing everything)

[personal profile] retraced 2012-03-20 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
I'm suppose to tell the truth, right?!

[Deep breath.]

Maybe if I had stayed...I would have found the truth sooner.

[ He's snatching the stick right back and saying his own piece. ]

You're an idiot for ever leaving in the first place. Alright?! Do you know how it feels to have someone run out like that?
retraced: (we will die with our arms unbound)

[personal profile] retraced 2012-03-20 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
It was -

[For your safety. But like hell he's going to say that now.]
ferventknight: (just burn those new leaves over)

[personal profile] ferventknight 2012-03-20 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ A sigh. He didn't expect a full answer, to be honest. ]

You'll never stop being this much of an idiot.
retraced: (psychologically overcast)

...Give me the stick back.

[Reaching out to take it.]
ferventknight: (you're like an unwinding cable car)

[personal profile] ferventknight 2012-03-20 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's hesitant... But he hands it back. ]
retraced: (all have abandoned their hopes)

[personal profile] retraced 2012-03-20 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[He grasps it so hard that his gloves crease and wrinkle.]

No...I don't know what it's like to have someone run away, because it's only ever been me that's been cowardly enough to run. I selfishly took that power from the Nightray house and left...

There's no way I can allow you to forgive me for that, Elliot, even if you wanted to.
ferventknight: (you've seemed to ignore)

[personal profile] ferventknight 2012-03-20 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he doesn't need the stick to say this bit: ]

You need to stop running from things, Gilbert. It's ridiculous. Learn to stand and fight for once without second thoughts on consequences.
retraced: (all have abandoned their hopes)

[personal profile] retraced 2012-03-21 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
I won't run anymore. Not after...

[...Setting down this stick before he can finish that sentence.]
