Pros. Cons. We've all got the both. Which side tilts the scales?

[jagan]

pros and cons of dating your character

a humor/shipping meme



The premise is simple.

[1] Your character has a sign listing out all the pros and cons of dating them. Maybe they wrote it themselves, maybe they didn't.
[2] This list is displayed for everyone else to see.
[3] That's it.

Do not post any blank top levels. Comment with your character's list, then have fun reacting to other people's pros and cons.

The Iron Bull | Dragon Age

[inachinashop]

[The only thing he's wearing - at least, the only thing visible from the front - is a big sandwich board style pro|con sign hanging from his shoulders and an equally big smile. The only thing written on the sign, filling both the pro and con column at about the level of his hips, is a wide, simple drawing of a dick and balls that 'hangs' about halfway down his thigh.]

[Guess who got to write his own sign.]

Max Lobo | Banana Fish

[papalobo]

Pros	Cons
Will give you lots of space and you time. No complex about being out-earned. Won't demand you have a career if you'd rather raise the kids. Willing to try costumes and roleplay.	Will abandon you to chase stories and get in trouble. Will ask to borrow money for bail, flights, etc. Will show shockingly little interest in or respect for your career if you do have one. Ready to die for a pizza.

arthur fleck | joker | ota

[isntitrich]

[He's doing this only because it's been explicitly mandated by his social worker, who thinks he needs to work on practicing more positive self-talk.]

Cons
my medication costs more than my rent
don't have my own apartment
low paying job
not getting any younger

Pros
i'd want to make you laugh each and every day

[It's written as small as he can make it, the chart squashed into a corner of his journal so that it doesn't take up even half the page.]

Thirteenth Doctor | Doctor Who | ota

[dashofoutrage]

PROS

CONS

Lots of running! No need for the gym Has TWO hearts, so double the amount of love! Good at making people laugh. (Not always on purpose though) Can take you anywhere in time and space Great at hugs!

Lots of running. Can be tiring sometimes. Will almost absolutely never actually say she loves you. Has an on-going hate-love relationship with childhood friend that sometimes gets out of hand on an apocalyptic level. A little too attached to her ship. Probably few thousand (or billions) years older than you, depending on what bits she decides counts at the time. Might almost die and literally turn into a completely different person at any given point. Will definitely out-live you. Occassional cosmic angst.

[ The signs are hand-written and barely legible. She just kind of looks at it, frowning. ]

I don't remember writing this. Did I write this? It looks like I wrote this.

[wolfdogwitcher]

...huh. [Despite his impassive remark, Eskel is grinning (best he's able to, anyway) with bawdy amusement] Somebody got creative with their sign.

[inachinashop]

What? They told us to be really honest, so. [He lifts his arms briefly, grinning, in a resigned sort of gesture. You've got to do what you've got to do.] You don't think I was being honest?

[wolfdogwitcher]

[He makes a bit of a show of considering.] Well, you can't always tell by a man's build but I'd wager it's not too far off the mark. [He snorts] Is this the part where most people ask to find out if you're naked under the sign?

[playthedamncard]

[If it wasn't for the whole 'I'm going to duel Diva so I can save Bakura from whatever weird cubic hell dimension he got sent to' thing, Kaiba probably would have forgotten Bakura was still alive. He cocks an eyebrow, looks at Bakura, looks at the list, looks at Bakura.]

First thing: do you ever think being "kind of clueless" is the reason why you frequently get possessed by an evil spirit?

And second, explain being sensitive but also emotionally distant. [to the king of emotional distance]

[patchemup]

None of us are getting younger. We all age upwards.

Medicine shouldn't be so expensive. Something to save your life should always be affordable. I'm assuming your low-paying job doesn't offer insurance, and you're not in a country that offers free healthcare.

[sentimentalstoic]

The second list is going to repel fewer suitors than you'd hope.

[inachinashop]

[The Bull chuckles.] Well, most people aren't prepared for the size of the answer. They don't have the space to handle all of it. So, yeah, people ask, but I don't always tell. That's not you asking though, I guess, right? Smart. I like a guy who knows where his limits are.

[pyonpyon]

Um... Are you actually "obsessed?"
