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!

Just FYI this popcorn is delicious.

This is not some kind of carnival attraction!!11!!1

[dorkvader]

This is so much better than a carnival attraction!

[morally_cryptic]

.....

Maybe I should cooperate with them. It might get rid of you.

[dorkvader]

Good luck with that.

They can't change the choices you've already made.

[morally_cryptic]

Please. As if me becoming you is a foregone conclusion.

[dorkvader]

Maybe not, but you can't avoid the Dark Side forever. It'll wait patiently until the right time.

[morally_cryptic]

You realize I'm picturing someone in an alleyway waiting to mug me on my way home now, right?

[dorkvader]

Huh... You know, that's not entirely inaccurate.

[morally_cryptic]

What does it say about you that you were taken out by some garden-variety mugger?

[dorkvader]

Who said garden-variety? More like one of those crazy bounty hunter guys.

[morally_cryptic]

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

[dorkvader]

You're such an ignorant child. All your power will do nothing to save you or anyone else.

And you already know it.

The Jedi have held you back for too long. Go, answer the Doctor's questions, let him see why what I did was necessary.

[morally_cryptic]

Why? So you can get validation for your bad choices?

[dorkvader]

He has this fixation on knowing things. If you talk to him then I don't have to.

[The less he gets conned into talking about being you the better.]

Dealing with him about the caf is bad enough.

[He's trying to get him to quit.]

[morally_cryptic]

....what about the caf?

[dorkvader]

...he might be trying to get me to quit.


Okay, he's definitely trying to get me to quit.

[morally_cryptic]

It'd probably be good for you.

[dorkvader]

Oh don't you start. There's nothing wrong with caf.

[morally_cryptic]

There is when you drink it as much as you do.

You'd probably have ulcers if your stomach wasn't made of durasteel.

[dorkvader]

I know right. Lucky me.

[morally_cryptic]

Small favors.

[dorkvader]

It needed to be replaced anyway. Might as well get one that can handle my coffee habit.

[morally_cryptic]

Because you had that falling out with Obi-Wan you mean.

[dorkvader]

Nope, that happened years later. Totally different fight.
