The Be My Therapist Meme

Your characters have been trapped in a strange but comfortable room, with a big desk and couch, and now have to spend some time either talking about their problems or listening to other people's problems and trying to give good advice. Both is fine, too.

The room itself will compel them to at least try to play those roles, and will only release them after they do what it wants them to do.

The problems can be silly or serious, deep or shallow, it's all up to you.

[The List Of Possible Problems]

1. Small but still sucky problems that are just bothersome- They've gotten bad grades at school, they have a bad hair day, they fought with a friend about something really silly, etc etc.

2. Love, relationships and family problems - They're fighitng with their SO, they think their spouse might be cheating on them, they have Mother/Father Issues, their siblings are their worst enemy, etc etc.

3. Lifechanging problems - They flunked out of school, they find out they have superpowers, they find out they are the only one who can pilot a super robot, etc etc.

4. 'Our world as we know it is in danger' type problems - The Dark Lord is raising and is trying to take over their world, they have zombie problems, the Evil Space Empire is coming for their planet, their experiments with time travel ended up unraveling reality, etc etc.

5. Work related problems - They have to deal with the boss from hell, how are they supposed to defend the Earth with all those budget cuts, etc etc

6. Money problems - They have to deal with budgeting, inheritance problems, etc etc. Or maybe they just can't afford that fancy car...

7. Trauma related problems - Something bad happened to them, be it the deaths of important people or being trapped in a warzone or anything else, and they have to deal with the resulting trauma.

8. Really cracky problems - I hate my superheroine uniform, my brother always chews my slippers when he turns into a werewolf and I wish he'd stop, etc etc.

9. Something else

[How To]

1. Post as your character. (Please write down the name and canon/fandom of the character in the subject line, and also if they're canon, AU, crossover or OC, etc.)

2. Please choose your character's role - Therapist (Counsellor) or Client - and set the first scene. Setting the scenes for both is fine, too. (It is also all right for the characters to take turns being the therapist and the client, if that's what you want to do)

3. Tag, thread and have fun!

Comments

Shawn Hunter | Boy Meets World | Client

[trailertrashman]

[theboywiththebook]

[Why is a ten year old being your therapist?]

So...um....what did you want to talk about?

Russia Cat || Hetalia

[kittenteam]

[Both Therapist and Client is fine. Russia Cat's problems would be 1 or 7, depending.]

[Russia Car walks around the strange room, wondering what is going on...]

Mioo...

[Oh, is that tuna? And a bowl of water, too!]

Naminé | Kingdom Hearts | Willing to be either

[nobodynamine]

Therapist Sherlock

[the_new_sexy]

You're a moron.

Gregor Vorbarra | The Vorkosigan Saga | OTA

[vor]

[Keywords.]

[kittenteam]

[OOC : What do you think of taking turns being the therapist and the client?]

Mioooow? [Russia cat sniffs, and laughs.]

You smell a bit like Ivan!

[He's 'smelling' the russian cultural influences in the Barrayan Empire.]

The Master/Doctor Who

[ofdrumsthesound]

(The boy needs therapy. Bad.)

[handymetacrisis]

[Somehow he's been roped into playing therapist for the Master and he's got the feeling it's because the others got eaten. Or he scared them of life in other ways. Besides, this is a conflict of interest, isn't it?

So he leans back in his stiff chair, peering over at the Master and waits for him to say something.]

Nariko Lunae | OC | OTA

[gunslingerqueen]

[She will be either! But I'd love it if someone could play the therapist role for her. Switching off is good, too!]

Loki | Marvel 616 | Either but will ham the fuck out of the therapist role you have been warned.

[lowkeyinaminor]

[helsmaiden]

(roles are up to you, either could be fun!)

Yang Wenli | Legend of the Galactic Heroes | Therapist

[doesnotreturn]

[Warning: he will suck as a therapist. What is empathy. And yes, he is sleeping on the couch.]

Perry the Platypus | Phineas and Ferb | Therapist

[doesntdomuch]

[It might be hard for him to be a client anyway what with the lack of voice.]

7.

[beeboxer]

qrrrrrRRRRvvvvvHMMMMMMMMMMnnnEEEooozxhtzwwwrrrrRRRRrrrZZZZzzzzZZZWSHHHHHHHHcxt

Kade Burns | Rescue Bots | Therapist

[firedoucher]

[Best therapist ever. Everyone else go home.]

5 Hi RC

[deceptionshark]

I am having issues with my Second-in-Command.

Sherlock Holmes || Sherlock || No Smut

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

{{OOC: Sherlock can be either therapist or client. And I'm willing to play him from any canon point.}}

[Sherlock is curled up on the couch, wrapped in his robe.]

sherlock as a therapist to any cherub agent makes me lol

[navyafterone]

[ James searches the fridge and fails to find milk for his tea. Scowling, he settles into a corner with a mug of tea ... into which he has stirred a spoonful of ice cream. IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME. No wonder he needs therapy.

... CHERUB has suggested he speak to someone before leaving the organisation for uni (studying Maths at Stanford). ]

Ever killed anyone, then?

[ His accent is North-East London, but he hasn't lived there for almost six years. ]

Kaidan Alenko | Mass Effect 1-3 | OTA

[standsentinel]

[Client or therapist, he's a decent listener and he also has a lengthy list of issues he should probably talk to someone about.]

Nari is more willing to listen to him than talk about herself D: !

[gunslingerqueen]

[Nariko dig those big psychologist chairs, so Kaiden can have the Special Couch or do whatever he likes, really. She doesn't care about any of that.]

So! What brought you here?

[It's a basic question, asked with a calm smile. She's here for you Kaiden, the ball is in your court.]

Pepper Potts | Movieverse | OTA

[pepperspray]

[Come, tell Pepper your problems. She might not have that great a solution, but she's a good listener at least?]

[ofdrumsthesound]

*Why is he doing this, exactly?*

My life is fucked up in ways you've never even imagined.

Hakubi Washu | Tenchi Muyo! OAV | Therapist

[number1genius]

[Whether you deserve it or not, you're now stuck in a room with what appears to be a precocious 12-year-old girl playing "therapist," eagerly waiting with barely contained glee for you to spill your deepest, darkest secrets to her. Clearly, only good things can come from this meeting.]

Go ahead, whenever you're ready. We have all day, after all.

[thecricketer]

Apparently so. [His tone is exasperated, rather than fearful, as he turns from the door. He arches his eyebrows at her, crossing his arms.]

Is this normally how you procure your patients?

Karis Needleteeth | OC (World of Warcraft)

[oncewaslost]

[She'll make a horrible therapist. Just FYI.]

Re: Karis Needleteeth | OC (World of Warcraft)

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

"...This is a really uncomfy couch."

Asuka Langley Soryu | Neon Genesis Evangelion

[redheadcarrier]

[Boy howdy, does she ever need one.]

Re: Asuka Langley Soryu | Neon Genesis Evangelion

[emperor_time]

Kurapika was seated comfortably in a leather-upholstered armchair next to the window, reading a book. He looked up when he noticed Asuka's presence, however, and carefully tucked a bookmark in between the pages to save his place.

"Hello. You must be Ms. Soryu."

commander shepard | mass effect

[suffocated]

( patient. )

[pluggedintheoverlord]

Hey, Commander.

[Yes, come tell Joker all of your problems.]

Loki Laufeyson ♔ Marvel Movieverse ♔ client... obviously...

[beguilement]

[liliqueen]

[Oh god, where to start with this man?] How have you been sleeping, Loki?

Veetor'Nara | Mass Effect | Client

[didntcomebacksane]

[Oooooh boy.]

Leslie Knope || Parks and Rec || Therapist

[lesliemonster]

lilo ❀ lilo & stitch ❀ therapist

[neverleftbehind]

(She's really the best)

hey again

[theboywiththebook]

[Kids doing therapy for one another. Totally sound.]

frodo baggins | lord of the rings | patient

[ringbearer]

[ i could use some therapy. really. ]

Sorry <3

[beegeesringtone]

[Criminal consultant, therapist - same difference. Jim looks at Frodo while the tip of his pen dances idly over the paper sheet attached to his clipboard (doodling 'Sherlock'), and after a brief moment he quirks an eyebrow at his patient.]

So. What is your problem?

[Moriarty's tone suggests that whatever it might be, it better not be boring.]

Britta Perry | Community

[britta_ftw]

[As a licensed psych student...]

Patient~

[ontogeneticparade]

[Oh hi there psych student, have a former psychiatrist sitting up on the couch, hands folded in his lap, regarding her with a polite smile as though this is his session, not hers.]

What would you like me to talk about?

Harley Quinn | DC Comics (Arkham City-verse) | either

[docharley]

[She does technically have her PhD.]

Patient

[bloodspilt]

[Stuck? Might as well make the most out of it. Shiki lounges on the couch. That thrashing on the door earlier never happened.]

Never believed in these things. How can you be qualified if you willingly hang around people who can snap at a moment's notice?

Rose Lalonde - Homestuck - Therapist

[aggrieves]

[ this meme was made for her. ]

[hamburellakind]

[John comes in and flops on the fainting couch thing.]

Dave can be. Such. A jerk.
