I'll eventually use a gif from a show that's not Inuyasha

[weebsock]

the save you from yourself shipping meme


The person you care for the most been pushed to the edge. How or why doesn't matter so much now, what matters is that now, they're a danger. To themselves, to others -

To you.

But you're the only one who can bring them back. The bond you have - realized or unrealized - is the strongest weapon now. You have to help them. If you don't, they could be lost forever. Or worse, someone else might have to take action. And if that's the case, it may as well be you.

HOW TO PLAY

- Reply with your character and preferences.
- Mention whether or not you want to play the one reaching out or the one being reached or if you're open to both. Seriously guys, this is important, don't just leave your comment blank. Feel free to include other relevant information.
- Tag others.

TYPE OF BRINK

- Power Surge: Their abilities are going nuts and they can't control themselves.
- Anger: They're beyond the pale in their anger, perhaps at something done to them, done to you, or the situation in general. They're going berserk.
- Sadness: The despair is destroying them. They're wailing, self-destructing, or even catatonic.
-Mental Breakdown: They're not aware of what's real or what's not anymore. They're frightened or lashing out.
- Possession or Brainwashing: It's not them, but it's their body and they're somewhere in there. You can reach them.

WHAT YOU DO

- The Truth: A confession about how much they mean to you might remind them of what's important.
- Touch: Reach out and pull them back.
- Comfort: Do anything that's special between them to reassure them that you're you and it's all right.
- Embrace: Hug them, either for the merit of hugging itself or to hold them back physically.
- Kiss: Extreme cases call for extreme measures.
- Violence: Whether it be a slap or a full on gut punch, maybe they need some manual recalibration.
- Risk: You'll jump into the line of fire just to stop this madness.
- Shock: You plan to do something so out of character it will bring them back to reality.
- Passivity: If need be, you'll let them hurt you as much as they need to get it out of them.
- Mercy Killing: You can't get through to them. But if anyone has to kill them, it's going to be you.

Comments

Mia | .hack//IMOQ | OTA

[beautifulmemory]

[Mia acts strangely, as though being slowly possessed, before transforming. This is what happens when you're secretly a phase of the online apocalypse.]

Stephanie Brown || DC Comics

[ichoosefight]

Rex Salazar | Generator Rex

[deusrexmachina]

[OOC: Open to having Rex be either the one who goes out of control or stopping someone else (with pre-established game/meme CR or assumed CR). It is actually canon for Rex to lose control of his nanites in extremely traumatic circumstances. In such a case, passivity is not recommended. He'll lose his memory and turn into a several story high mechanical murder machine, rampaging until something does stop him. The idea in this case would be to keep him from transforming completely and reaching that point.

Also, while this is labeled a shipping meme (my pref is M/F for that part), I am open to gen for this. I don't think there's any reason a good friend or someone who counts as family can't try and succeed in stopping Rex's transformation. Just let me know what you want to do!]

Gen gen so much gen

[sixthdeadliest]

((OOC: So I got Anger and Risk thanks to the RNG. You have a preference?))

ALL THE GEN

[deusrexmachina]

[OOC: Hmmm...depends. Did you want to have Six end up the one who goes off the rails? That could be interesting and under the right circumstances, anger and risk taking could apply. Maybe if Holiday was badly injured by someone and it's time to seek revenge, even against insane odds?]]

[thepowerful]

[OOC: How about a passivity/violence combo, as Phaeris can take a crapton of punishment? As for the cause, whatever you think would be most fun to dole out.]

[deusrexmachina]

[OOC: For the cause, going to roll with something from the comics to cause some berserker rage. Since that's a bit different than the usual nanite freak out, Phaeris could attempt the passivity/violence combo and let him wear down a little before trying to get through to him.]


Rex stared down at the green splotches of green ooze on his gloved hands and the front of his shirt. Some of it had also managed to spatter over his neck. What the heck was this stuff? The whackjob he'd been chasing had suddenly turned and lobbed a glass vile full of the stuff straight at him, taking the opportunity to escape completely once his pursuit had been thoroughly slimed.

Muttering to himself about how gross the stuff felt against his skin, Rex attempted to shake and brush some of the substance off. He wasn't long at his task before he suddenly began to feel weird, however, his vision blurring and a headache coming on. Within seconds, nausea was quick to follow.

"Oh man, I really don't feel so good..." He dropped down to his knees, tightly shutting his eyes as the world seemingly began to tilt and slide around him. "Scratch that. I seriously feel like I'm gonna puke!"

Then the pain hit, his eyes snapping open and taking on a sickly yellow glow. What began as a scream deepened into a roar, his limbs starting to twitch and contort as several of his builds began to build out all at once...

Gen - Screw the RNG

[crawfordstone]

[ I have a bad memory for their scant history at Wake, so just gonna roll with a generic 'they know each other' type deal without it being from their old CR ]

Having seen what Rex could do for the first time had been a shock. Sprouting mechanical pieces out of seemingly nowhere was not something the redhead was accustomed to seeing. But this was something completely different. He had no idea what was going on. He'd just gotten a text asking to help Rex with something. But what he'd found was nothing like what he expected. "REX!" He called out, rushing toward him. He grabbed the kid by the shoulders, without regard for his own safety.

Jio Freed | 666 Satan

[insiderestsatan]

[ooc: Well Jio has Satan inside of his soul and a sure sign to see that the demon is taking over is when the black part of his hair turns white and his green eye turns red. It is best to bring Jio back in control or everyone in the area can kiss their lives goodbye.]

MCPO John-117 || Halo

[s117]

[ aka the plot of Halo 4 Demonstrative displays are highly unlikely on John's part.]

[wegotogether]

(So how cruel to be? Mental Breakdown/truth or mercy killing? Or be kind and allow some soft of comfort?)

Owain | Fire Emblem Awakening | OTA

[sword_hand_twitches]

[OOC: I can play it as Owain succumbing to his own fantasies in a moment of strife or weakness, perhaps becoming berserk in grief or anger at losing a companion, or him helping a companion come out of their own berserker state.]

Karen Minazuki ♥ Yes! Pretty Cure 5

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Can be either role. I'm personally okay with all the options. If she's the one reaching out, let me know what you want her to do if there's something specific.]

Emil Blonsky | MCU | OTA

[emilblonsky]

[Prefer Gen, but open to M/F relations. He'd be the one needing the reaching out, perhaps it's one of the few times it's not the best idea for him to turn Abomination. Or things are starting to go horribly wrong. He's a walking chemistry set after all.]

Aang | Avatar: The Last Airbender

[savedtheworld]

[I am open to either option. Aang can be the one reaching out or the one being reached out to; that latter option would most likely involve Aang either being in a particularly destructive Avatar State or being on the brink of entering it.

Open to non-shipping - and shipping-wise, primarily open to Kataang.]

Dark Schneider || Bastard!! || OTA

[thebitchesloveme]

[His brinks are generally from anger. You don't mess with his friends. Anything except mercy killing is fine for snapping him out of it]

Mytho | Princess Tutu

[soheartless]

[He's open to gen and otherwise just canon shipping. He can be possibly be either option; as the one being reached out to, he will be succumbing to the influence of the raven blood within him, and replies may come from ravenousheart.]

Ivan | Golden Sun | OTA

[updrafts]

[Knowing him, almost certainly the one trying to snap the other out of it!]

Lightning }{ FFXIII/FFXIII-2

[strikeoflightning]

{Can be either role.}

Aoba Seregaki | DRAMAtical Murder

[scrappydont]

Allen Walker | D. Gray-Man | OTA

[everwalking]

[Allen is always 110% willing to throw himself at someone he cares about and hug them back to emotional wellness, even if that means being stabbed or burned or kicked or what have you. come at him]

[or if you'd rather try your luck, we can go with "on the verge of Noahfication" and you can use the power of shippiness to get him out of it]

Lavi | D.Gray-Man

[historyrabbit]

[[ooc; Open to either with someone other than prazerbutterfly. Dude, let me set the scene.]]

[prazerbutterfly]

Susan Pevensie | Chronicles of Narnia

[calledmegentle]

Sarge || DOOM (the movie) || OTA

[tothecore]

[This is practically canon anyway. :/ ]
