The Weakness Meme

We all have that little thing that either turns us to mush, or is a temptation we can never resist, or something that totally leaves us vulnerable for exploitation. Whatever it may be, we can either enjoy it or despise it, or maybe use it as a strength if you're clever enough.

Below, you can roll for a type of weakness and/or a role to play, or make up your own scenario based on canon, fandom, or anything, really!

NOTE: Depending upon the weakness, the situation, and other factors, there might be some triggers. It is advised that you plan ahead or check the character's journal for permissions and/or preferences! Don't be afraid to discuss things over PMs or contact posts if necessary. Let's do our best to respect each other's comfort zones.

[OOC: Do you want to be the one with the weakness or the other role? And do we want angsty or hilarious? Because Jim running from hypos could be really funny. ;) ]
