The Support Group Meme!

Per Wikipedia:

In a support group, members provide each other with various types of help, usually nonprofessional and nonmaterial, for a particular shared, usually burdensome, characteristic. The help may take the form of providing and evaluating relevant information, relating personal experiences, listening to and accepting others' experiences, providing sympathetic understanding and establishing social networks. A support group may also work to inform the public or engage in advocacy.

○ Post with a character.

○ Unlike most memes, you'd probably be better off by providing a general theme for people to respond to. You know, have your subject or post read "People who got turned into animals in their respective games" or "Time travelers and keeping the space/time continuum intact."

○ Respond to other people and support them through their trials and tribulations.

NOTE: While you're welcome to post whatever the hell you want, if you delve into triggery whatnot (i.e. abuse, suicide, things which tend to actually evoke real life support groups and therapy) please label your posts with a nice and blatant warning so someone who was looking for Time Travelers Anonymous doesn't accidentally stumble into your suicide thread instead.

Oh right, pirates.

[Kotetsu grins. "Space pirates" still sounds ridiculously weird and kind of neat.]

Well, I don't have a pirate treasure, so sponsors it is!

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

[Gai laughs a little.]

I don't think it was treasure. Just stuff Luka found.

[herotvlive]

[Tiger scratches his head.]

Whelp, I don't have a Luka either! Sounds useful though!

[Oh gosh, she and Tiger would get along like a house on fire...]

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

There's only one of her.

[He laughs.]

Everyone has to pay her back for the gems though.

[herotvlive]

So she's a loan shark, then!

[...Accurate.]

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

Ah...that's not entirely accurate...

[Oh it was but he wasn't admitting it. He'd be in trouble if she heard the conversation!]

She is a pirate after all.

[herotvlive]

Yeeeeeeah. If you say so! What about the rest of your friends? What are they like?

[Since there is still perfectly good alcohol here, Tiger's going to pop open his face plate and have some more. It's thirsty work, all this talk about the best job in the universe!]

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

Well...[He taps his chin a moment.] Joe is really strong and determined but he can be kind of quiet. Don is super smart but a little goofy. Ahim is a princess and but she's just as tough as the rest of us. And Marvelous is just so cool!

[herotvlive]

[Kotetsu nods along, then laughs at Ahim's description.]

Never met a princess who wasn't. I don't know where that stupid idea came from, anyway!

[Anyone who suggests the female superheroes are more 'delicate' are asking for an icicle somewhere very painful.]

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

Well, not everyone can fight. I guess some princesses can't either.

[He just shrugs.]

[herotvlive]

Yeah, I guess. Sounds like you have a good balance for your team, anyway!

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

We do! We all cover one another's weak points and back up the strengths!

[herotvlive]

Hm. Guess we're a little like that too!

[Though does it count if "cover weak points" means "point them out in the middle of battle?" Because that is SUPER UNHELPFUL!]

Bunny's always planning, but I'd rather hit things until they stay down!

[Obviously he is the BEST STRATEGIST.]

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

That sounds kind of like how my team is split. Three of us plan and the other three charge in and attack.

[herotvlive]

Well, I guess if we're gonna give full credit, it's Agnes that does most of the planning.

[Waving a hand like WHO CARES ABOUT PLANS/ Stupid TV schedules and commercial breaks?!]

So which are you? Planner or attacker?

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

I'm sort of both but more planning than just rushing in.

[herotvlive]

Makes sense - You've got a lot of powers to keep track of, after all!

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

[He nods quickly.]

I even created an encyclopedia to help the team learn more about our powers.

[Which half of them promptly ignored for the most part.]
