the death meme


(CONTENT WARNING. This is a meme about death and may deal with suicide, depression, extreme violence, illnesses, etc.)

This is it. The final curtain. You're at the end of your life, and there's someone here you really, really need to say something to before you die.


CAUSE OF DEATH

1 - Accidental. Nobody meant for this to happen, but it doesn't matter now. Due to negligence, arrogance or just plain bad luck, you've become gravely ill or injured and are now in your last moments. This covers all kinds of accidental deaths--strangulation, drowning, car accidents, unintentional beheadings, whatever you can think of.

2 - Murder. Somebody really didn't like you. Enough to kill you, it seems. You're now dead by someone else's hand. (Maybe even the person replying to you?) As with accidental death, this covers all types of intentional, malicious murder, regardless of method--so poisoning, stabbing, shooting, etc., all work here. Same with all the below options: any possible variation you can think of on it will work!

3 - Suicide. There is no hope for you, and no way out. You've reached the absolute bottom pits of despair, and the only recourse you have is to take your own life. Someone shows up to stop you... but they're too late to help you now.

4 - Terminal illness. You have cancer, or tuberculosis, or cholera back when people got cholera. The doctors have done everything they could and it wasn't enough. The only thing to do now is give your loved ones the bad news.

5 - Starvation. So thirsty. So hungry. Maybe you've been traveling in the desert for hours, or maybe you're just really poor. Whatever the reason, it doesn't matter, because you're slowly wasting away until you're nothing but skin and bones.

6 - Death in battle. You've died a hero's death, and gone out in a blaze of glory. Or maybe you were a coward who got shot for deserting? Either way, you're now a casualty of war. Will you be honored with a parade or scorned as a traitor to your country?

7 - Natural causes. You've lived a long, happy life, and now your story is at an end. In a warm bed, surrounded by your family and friends, you peacefully drift off. Just make sure that you've made a will somewhere, or at least use your deathbed to set the record straight. Otherwise, who knows what kind of squabbles might errupt after you leave this world?

TIME LEFT

1 - A few minutes. You're fading fast and you don't have much, well, any time left. Better tell the person with you that you love -- or despise -- them with your last breath, because you'll never have the chance otherwise.

2 - A few hours. You haven't got much time left. Is there someone you still need to kill? To kiss? Better do it quick. (Note: last kisses not recommended for people dying of highly contagious illnesses.)

3 - A few days. The doctors have given you the news, and it's not very good. You've only got a couple days left to live. You should start trying to make peace with people and saying your final goodbyes with the days you have left.

4 - A few weeks. Take that vacation you've always wanted to go on but never had the chance to. Go do that thing you've never thought you'd be any good at. You've got only weeks left to live. Don't waste them.

5 - A few months. While you aren't quite on death's doorstep yet, your lifespan has still dwindled considerably from what you probably thought it would be. How are you going to spend your last few months on Earth? Making the world a better place and telling your family you love them? Or raising as much hell as possible?

RELATIONSHIP

1 - Lovers. This is your husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, mistress, whatever you call them they were the person you wanted to spend your life with. Too bad you don't have much of a life to spend with them anymore.

2 - Siblings. Your beloved little or older sibling is just standing there, watching you slowly waste away before their eyes. Can you say anything to comfort them? Note that it doesn't necessarily have to be interpreted literally; adopted siblings and friends so close they might as well be siblings work too.

3 - Parent and child. Nothing is worse than a parent having to bury their child... except, maybe, a young child now alone in the world after losing their parent. As with the sibling prompt, this can be expanded to include parental figures and people who are LIKE a father/mother to you as well as actual biological parents.

4 - Co-workers, teammates or classmates. You were fighting for the same side. Or you worked together in the same office for years. Or they sat behind you in biology all semester. However you met, how do your react when you find out someone who used to be a fixture in your life is going to die?

5 - Friends. You're the best of friends! You go everywhere together, know all each other's secrets, and are never seen apart. At least, you didn't use to be. Now one of you is dying and the other one is left alone in the world. Or maybe you're dying together. Wait, is that better or worse?

6 - Bitter enemies. You hate, hate, HATE this person. In fact, maybe you killed them. Or they killed you. Or maybe nobody killed anybody and they're just bitter that Mother Nature got to you before they did. Regardless, they want to confront you one last time before you bite it, if only to rub your nose in your imminent demise and their ability to outlive you.


HOW IT WORKS:
1. Post your character and preference
2. Respond to others.
3. Tell the person what you need to tell them before you bite it.
4. Have fun!

[jasminebloominginshadow]

It had been a number of years since the fighting ended. Since the aliens and having to prove that Numbered had a right to exist and every other messy awful thing Jasmine and the people in her life had been through. Jasmine herself felt like she'd finally made peace with everything, thanks in no small part to her and Marina finally settling down. It honestly felt like they might never get there...

So of course, something had to happen to mess everything up.

It wasn't something she had expected, honestly. Dark Precure had gone before her time, so she'd never had the chance to find out her time was limited. All that stuff about clones having short lives in movies and stuff? Jasmine had started to suspect that was the case when her body felt like it was failing her, when it started to hurt to move, and then again later when she'd dropped out of the sky. Of course, she ended up having to check an expert before she knew for sure, but it was clear - Jasmine's time was fading. She had only a few months left.

She'd told everybody of course. Well, more like mumbled it, and then asked to be alone. It was just so heavy to think about. Like a horrible, opressive weight had been put on her shoulders. But she also couldn't ignore it.

Eventually, she ended up sitting outside her and Marina's home, staring at the sunset. She felt numb. There was a lot she had to come to terms with, and say to people, but right now, she just... couldn't proccess anything.

"... Marina," she called out, finally, to the house. "You... you wanna come out here with me?"

[dawnawaits]

[ It had been an incredible battle. Sora and Riku were teamed up together like always and taking out everything that came at them. They were on the final boss and doing really well. Riku knew they'd win and be able to get back home in no time. With his heals and and Sora's strength, there was nothing they couldn't do, right?

So the fight continued on, everyone on the field getting tired. Riku had the final hit on their powerful enemy, but it was at a cost. With his last bit of energy before his fall, he shot a powerful blow at Sora and Riku couldn't get there in time. ]

6-1-3- I won't let you hurt me

[keepshispride]

[It was Perfect Cell all over again, but this time with Black in the ravaged future- and this time with a Vegeta that was just a little bit faster.

Goku had finally agreed to step aside and let Vegeta handle Black. He'd been winning, the evil power of whatever Black was nothing compared to that of Super Saiyan Blue. Still, it was a terrific battle with both sides wearing each other down until Black became desperate. Perhaps he'd just wanted to be sure that if he died, Trunks went with him. Or maybe he thought sending that attack at the young man would distract Vegeta enough for him to gain the upper hand. If so, he was right. There's no time for Trunks to escape or for Vegeta to properly deflect the blast, but there's enough time for the prince to get between his son and their enemy. The blast hits him in the upper back and the damage is devastating, but Vegeta still doesn't fall right away. His pride keeps him standing and he manages to stagger forward one step towards his son, before the pain finally gets to him and he collapses forward onto Trunks' shoulder.]

... Damn it.

6+1+5

[oldfashionedhero]

[It wasn't really a surprise when it was a battle that brought them all back together. When Steve had arrived with Sam, Wanda, Natasha, Clint and Scott, the air had been thick with tension. There was the possibility that they were walking into a trap, but Steve knew that Tony wouldn't have used the phone he'd left him unless he had any other choice. The six months of absolute silence had proved that much. Rhodey was back in the War Machine suit, Vision was hovering protectively nearby and the kid that Tony had brought to the airport fight was crouched and ready to go.

Tony had explained the situation fast enough, looking at everyone but Steve as he did so. Steve had felt a heavy stab of guilt, but tried to keep his expression as neutral as possible while he listened to Tony outline the plan. It was a good plan, even if it was strange letting Tony take the lead. Considering the circumstances, though Steve wasn't going to step in and take control. They were fighting aliens, much smarter and sophisticated than the ones they'd battled before. Tony gave them a run down of their weaknesses, of which there were too few, and then everyone sprung to action. Tony called out Steve's name and Steve caught the shield that had been tossed his way on pure instinct. He looked up, unable to hide his surprise, but Tony was already gone.

They fought for what felt like hours, working together to take them down. When the dust settled, Steve was exhausted and bloody from the fight. The comms had been taken out by an EMP wave, though Steve had been relieved to find it hadn't had any real effect on Tony and Rhodey's armors. The team was spread out, but close enough where he could still hear a giant Scott coordinating them where he could. The city around them was a wreck and Steve felt that settle on his shoulders as he made his way towards the others. His eye caught a glint of metal in the ruins of a building and he suddenly realized with a sinking feeling that it was the Iron Man armor. He ran towards the rubble, skidding to a stop beside it and dropping his shield in order to begin pulling pieces of concrete off the armor.]

Tony?

Matt Murdock || Daredevil

[blindstrike]

[The dying]

[brutalize]

"Shit," Frank breathes.

Turns out the silly red suit doesn't really hold up very well to armor-piercing rounds, which is what the shitbags they encountered today had been loaded up on. They're dead, now, Frank made sure of that before circling back when he realized that the devil wasn't hot on his heels being a pain in the ass anymore.

And, well.

Frank is no medic. He has done his share of mid-combat patch jobs, though, and he knows a lost cause when he sees one. (He's listened to his share of last words, too.) He swallows and drops down to his knees next to Matt, pressing the heel of his palm to the big, bubbling wound he's got where the bullet went in even though he's pretty sure that at this point it's useless. Everything is slippery-wet, and there's already an alarmingly large puddle of blood beneath him.

"Hey," he says quietly, probably more soothingly than he's ever said anything to the other vigilante, "hey. You still with me, Red?"

[spiral_brow]

[Sanji was running through the... he could barely even describe it as a place, now. Rubble strewn everywhere, trees still smouldering from fire, and a thick, thick smoke choking the air making breathing difficult. It was, in every sense, a war zone. Raftel was supposed to be this glorious, triumphant moment. When they finally landed on the last island in the world! Followed in the footsteps of Gol D. Roger! Luffy was to become the Pirate King!]

[Well, he still WOULD be the Pirate King, no doubt! But the war - Sanji could only describe it as a war, this was no mere 'battle'... He shook his head and kept running. The crew had been scattered all over the island. Tiny little concentrated pockets of fighting, tearing the land asunder. He'd lost track of EVERYONE... and was now trying to find anyone, after barely... BARELY defeating his opponents. His legs ached, his body battered and bloody, he was certain ribs were cracked or broken... who knows what else. But he could push that aside for the moment. He had to find .. anyone. Everyone. Make sure they were all okay. Make sure they arrived.]

[His observation haki, while pushed to its max, was weak. He'd been using it too long... he was too weak from the fight. He couldn't get a solid sense of anyone around. He didn't know if he should yell out, see if any of his nakama responded. That could draw attention to himself, if there were still enemies about. It could draw attention to the OTHERS, if they were hurt, and trying to hide. So he kept running.]
