WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HUMAN
a shipping meme

No matter how straightforward it may seem, the human emotion of "love," especially true, unconditional love, is complex and often hard to understand. All that forgiveness, all that dedication, all that light in the dark - how can one person have all that inside of them? You don't understand that, possibly because you're not a human. You're a calculating robot, an unfeeling, undead zombie, an alien with a completely different frame of reference, or an artificially created being told only to feel certain ways. If you are a human, however, that doesn't necessarily clue you in to all the secrets of affection. Cold, uncaring assassins, brutal warriors, ruthless womanizers and maneaters, or the just plain broken can often feel like robots among their own kind.

But you want that to change. You have a stirring in your chest for someone and you want to know what love is so you can make them happy. This is the first time you've ever wanted to do so and be so unselfish. Hopefully, they can be a good teacher and help you open up, getting you both closer...

...or you could end up with someone as inexperienced as you. Well, there is something to be said about learning together.

[ should be interesting considering the fact that he turns into a hideous monster whenever he feels strong emotion ]

[Learning, please- Warsman is half-superhuman, half-robot and very self-conscious of it.]

[ most likely teaching, but open to either! ]

[Learning definitely. Could be either because of his heart being incomplete or it could be when he's transformed into a raven. Or a mix? Responses may come from alt accounts.]

[Learning, definitely.]

[Teaching.]

[Learning! Also available in non-Joker endgame flavor, which leans learning but could possibly teach. ...Also I would rather nothing develop into smut.]
