The Return Of The Support Group Meme

[memesrus]

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.

• Find or create a support group. 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."


• Post as a character. please put in the name and canon in the subject line, etc.


• 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.

Taken from here and slightly tweaked.

Uncontrollable Rage Issues

[lastincident]

[ Huge bags of weed and bongos not included. ]

[wontturntofoam]

You don't look very angry to me. Are you sure you're meant to be here?

[He's giving you the most suspicious look, Bruce. You potential interloper!]

Gone Too Soon (for characters who met a tragic end early on)

[funwithknives]

[ Hughes has tissues ready, lots of them. ]

((ooc: probably mentions of character death and potentially how they died))

[paladaddy]

[Someone really does not need to be here.]

Dependance issues

[guilty_pianist]

[Phillip frowns and shifts uncomfortably in his seat. Where's Brandon? If Brandon were here, he wouldn't have been roped into this stupid thing in the first place...]

[faeconman]

Phil! Fancy meeting you here.

[ Robin knows he's got issues, but he isn't entirely convinced there is much help to be gotten for him in a support group.

Trolling Phil makes coming here totally worth it, though. ]

Phobias

[psycho_logist]

[Crane is wearing Groucho glasses over his actual glasses.]

[tactical_alert]

Have I stumbled into the room for poor practical jokers instead?

When hating birds is hurting you

[therealgenius]

[Everyone gets a tag with their choice of most hated bird! Justin's says cockatoo.]

[norussianplz]

[Other Justin concurs with this choice. Cockatoos are evil, man.]

Allegorical Jesus Figures

[heardmermaids]

[Or anyone who's died and returned. Potter won't keep people out if they want to come for coffee and doughnuts.]

Re: Allegorical Jesus Figures

[junkyardjesus]

[He's definitely supposed to be here anyway, but he's raiding the doughnuts. Not touching the coffee, though.]

So what's an allegorical Jesus figure?

child services doesn't exist (and i really need it)

[isinganyway]

Well, they might as well have not existed for him...

[minitreiver]

[Eliot slinks in the back of the room, trying to avoid being noticed.]

It's Hard To Be So Awesome

[king_of_sindria]

It really is.

[ho_megas]

Μαλιστα!

[Ah, someone else who understands! Alexander expresses his agreement.

How nice support groups were!]

i think i'm a clone now

[iamnotaweapon]

Socially Stunted

[drywall]

[iamnotaweapon]

has an evil twin

[callofduty]

people doubt my sanity.

[astronomer]

[ :)

:) ]

[liketheredsea]

[He really needs to find a way to get out of these HR mandated trainings.]

I NEVER ASKED TO BE CYBORGIFIED

[neveraskedforthis]

[ story of his life. ]

[terminarcher]

[...but what if you really enjoy it?]

I see dead people

[findsrisks]

[It's not completely accurate, but it's close enough.]

Re: I see dead people

[knockingdowndeathsdoor]

I guess that's... true.

Kidnapping Victims

[bakery_owner]

[Tachibana groans and runs a hand through his hair, making it even more unkempt than it already was.]

Argh, why am I even here? Why did I let Chikage talk me into this?!

[He really doesn't know the answer to either of his own questions.]

[pluckyreporter]

[ Sippin' her mocha, checking her watch. ]

Probably because you've been a victim of kidnapping in the past?

under thirteen and saved the world

[wind_waker]

[Or how adults are useless.]

[wind_waker]

[He's never been to a support group before, but boy those pastries are delicious so he'll be wolfing those down and bobbing his legs since the chairs are too tall.]

daddy issues anonymous

[tactical_alert]

[Does it help if he says he didn't choose the name? Because that is not the name he would have chosen. Malcolm never called him 'daddy' anyway.]

[reconciledtwins]

*Don't mind him just twirling one of his guns around on his finger.*

Depression, suicidal thoughts, identity issues, overeating

[sweetigami]

[Have a death god who's a grab bag of issues...]

being a clone is suffering

[twelfth_labour]

[Forget cloning blues, being a clone alone sucks without the existential angst.]

[reconciledtwins]

*You can say that again. Did anyone think to bring alcohol?*

Warlords and Meglomaniacs

[ho_megas]

[Alexander is not really sure why this is considered a bad thing, much less something in need of support. He certainly has no plans on changing his ways.

Why should he? The world is his for the taking.]

[therearenoflags]

[A man in a long, black leather coat strides into the room, a deep scowl on his face, hard-soled boots rapping against the floor.] This had better not take much of my time. My forces in the middle of a time-sensitive operation that cannot be allowed to fail.

[Oh, and he appears to have a red skull for a face. That might be important to note.]

LIARS

[thedominatrix]

[Unless that's not true.]

[fleshydisguise]

I can't help it. My birth name is Pretender, I was sort of screwed to begin with.

the justice system here is messed up!

[poisonnectar]

[ Not that this sweet unassuming young lady sat at the back drinking orange juice would know anything about it.]

[plains_hunter]

No such things as a perfect justice system. They're all messed up.

Went from walking joke, to certified badass.

[plains_hunter]

[Currently sitting in the room, sipping at his coffee.]

[want_a_vacation]

*He's not entirely sure he belongs here, but he's sipping at some of the strongest coffee you've ever seen.*

All you castaways get in here

[watchthewall]

[teenagebadboy]

[Sits at a chair with his arms crossed.]

serial killers anonymous

[bloodplay]

[he's totally here for the donuts.]

[itachi_san]

A young boy, couldn't have been more than 13, walks into the room and sits down. He sighs.

"Assassination is a thankless job."
