Support Group Meme

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.

And now you know. And knowing's half the battle.

• 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.

Arson For Great Justice

[theanswerisfire]

[Did you have to kill a building with fire to take down the bad guys recently? Welcome!]

It's always best to make sure nobody's in the building, of course. Casualties to a minimum, that's the way to do it.

"Knock knock" "Who's there?" "Crippling depression"

[astandupguy]

[Obviously this is the wrong room. Hope no one minds if a skeleton takes a nap in here.]

[bestillmybeatingsoul]

[Somehow, Frisk isn't surprised to catch Sans napping in a room labeled like this (more because of the joke format than anything else. But, they wouldn't be surprised, either, about the latter.) But, well, so long as it's only him in there, don't mind them coming in.

[Napping sounds good, so they keep their footsteps as silent as possible from the desire not to wake him. They've had a lot of practice doing that. But, well, it's also Sans. Maybe he'll notice (he sure didn't seem to notice that one time when Undyne was chasing them, though....)]

Needs a Plan for Everything

[mamabaird]

[She is not here voluntarily.]

Not Realizing How Much You Suck At Your Career

[erranterrands]

[Jareth has no idea why he would be ushered into a room for this sort of gathering. He pities those in denial of their shortcomings, considering his own success at the path he's chosen for himself. Not just anyone can be a Knight, or everyone would do it.]

In Love With the Enemy

[melolagniastic]

[Not interested in being the first to open up? No problem, Kimber is more than willing break that ice. She likes out a sigh, a bit melodramatic, but sincere, as she tugs on her braid.]

And then I thought she had something to do with my sister ending up in the hospital and we ended up disqualified from the battle of the bands and I haven't talked to her since. It's like no matter how much we try, we can't be together! How can you trust someone like that? [Oh did she leave a lot out? Probably. She tends to start talking not realizing half of what she thought she said was still in her head.]

;D

[genotypes]

[Charles apparently isn't interested in opening up at all. More so in nursing his drink and sulking. He's just been slouched over here by the libations with his head propped on his hand. But he looks up when she speaks.]

You can't, can you? What kind of person would put your sister in the hospital? Not a trustworthy one, that's for certain. And what's a relationship without trust? Any relationship, platonic ... [ -- pause for a drink.] Or otherwise.

Amnesiacs Anonymous

[yemeth]

[The giant mass of scars and poor fashion sense over here has probably forgotten more than most people ever experience in their lives a hundred times over.]

Members of a sports team that's going to graduate

[warmsetter]

[Are you part of a sports team? Are you going to graduate soon and you need a place to let off whatever is on your chest? Well come on in! Oh and you don't have to be graduating, anyone is welcome!]

Time Travelers trying to deal with Chaos Theory

[dramaquing]

[Come here if butterfly effects are ruining your (and everyone else's) life]

(ooc: the game dealt with a LOT of heavy themes. So TW for possible mentions of suicide, substance abuse, euthanasia... honestly it's hard to keep track of it.)

[i_noendo]

Not all it's cracked up to be, huh? Go back to mix things up a bit and half the time you either get an encore or something worse.

[ Who knows how many times she's gone back in time in an attempt to prevent her world from turning into a gray, dead apocalyptic wasteland, only for everything to go shit all over.

Probably half the reason she's a crazy-ass hedonist. How else would you put up with that crap? ]

[discjockstrap]

[Dave flops into a chair like all the energy's gone out of him, throwing a final dramatic arm up to drop over his face. His cape trails limply to the floor behind him, like an aborted fanfare.]

DAVE: man fuck time travel
DAVE: shits way overrated and way complicated
DAVE: approximately zero migraine-free days since 2009

[He looks up.]


DAVE: you ever get this ticking in your head you just cant shake out no matter how many times you play that taylor swift song??

Betrayed by My Own Government

[50calwhisper]

[For everyone who ever thought they were on the right side and turned out to be just a useful tool for an agenda.]

Has A Bad Brother

[incandescence]

[ ddiiooooo... ]

[ego_sum_ipse]

[Sam actually has no idea what he's doing in this room, much less this support group. In fact, he actually has no idea that he's even _in_ a support group. Also, what's this for, again? He's got a brother to get back to- they're supposed to be hunting a ghoul, and Dean's still recovering from his last concussion.]

Hey- yeah, um, hi. I'm looking for a guy- he's about this tall, he's wearing a lotta layers, kinda walks like he just got off a horse?

[He snickers internally. Dean would be pissed if he heard his description.]

Have you seen him?

Takes everything too seriously

[redhairedknight]

...I'm only here because the Master recommended it. [Even though this is just a place for discussion, she's treating it the same as if it was an S-class mission.]

[angelgressor]

I am only here under orders of my superior.

[ She is treating this as an intel-gathering mission.

...This support group might not make much progress. ]

Hench-people Anonymous

[toadthejanitor]

[Gather round for cold coffee and stale donuts]

Possessed by an angry spirit

[chosemercy]

[Or the remains of the consciousness of a genocidal child. Close enough.

Didn't expect to see a little kid running the show here? Neither did anyone else, probably. At least they're smiling at you.]

(first time in a meme like this one, hope I do it right...)

[mrlivingskull]

[...]

[...]

Somethin' like that, maybe. [Does that mean he's supposed to go with this group?]

Grey Wardens

[circleprodigy]

[Because a career of constant battles with darkspawn, shortened lifespans and nightmares galore certainly deserves a support group.]

Inquisitors/Heralds of Andraste

[enasalin]

[Leading an army into battle against an ancient darkspawn magister is tough work. Time for commiserating over tea/booze/tiny cakes?]

[virbanalras]

[Grabs a bottle of Golden Scythe and just starts swigging it down. He's not anyone's savior and he hates even thinking about it.]

They don't even give out a commemorative shirt. The least they could do. I did get my favorite coat during my travels, though...

Life like a horror movie

[milesupshore]

[Trying to hold a cup of coffee with a finger missing on each hand is very frustrating.]

And I'm sick to death of lights never fuckin' working when you really need them too.

[silent_hell]

Oh my God, right?

Shot in the head

[backfromthegrave]

[On the bright side every time you fuck up you have a good excuse.]

Living in someone's shadow

[dragoon_pride]

[Siiigh it's hard when your BFF is so full of goodness and light, and beloved by so many.]

[lastoftheredwings]

[Suck it up, dude. It's worse when that paragon of light and goodness and perfection is your father.

Sulking teenager, get.]

Monsters. We're eating monsters. And the monsters taste good, that's the worst part, that's--

[dungeonmaking]

[ Used to normal food? Civilian food, like ones you get in restaurants and not ones you make yourself in dungeons out of monster parts and monster guts and--

anyway, there's an elf hoarding the cookies that were obviously here to help such troubled people. She's giving a suspicious look to anyone who walks in and so much as glances at the plate. They're hers, all right!? She hasn't had normal food in what feels like forever it's only been like, a week. ]

Doesn't want to be here or think it's necessary.

[congrunkle]

[Seriously. What would he need a support group for?]

This is stupid.
