Support Group Meme

[yousonofabitch]

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.

• Post with a character.


• 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."


• 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.

Dolan King -- Thorin Oakenshield Modern Day - The Hobbit AU

[once_and_future_king]

[Past lives and how to deal with them cropping up to ruin your current life.]

[marbleincarnate]

[Simon's not sure why he's been ushered into this room of all rooms; he wouldn't even call his situation a case of "past lives", much less having to deal with it in his current life. There was a brief point, yes, where it was more of an issue, but that was a long, long time ago.

So instead he's just going to give a polite smile and hang out by the coffee. This is awkward and quite frankly, more revealing than the golem is accustomed. He should leave. Now.]

Being Undead and the issues you face

[livingdeadboy]

[ He's just whistling while posting up a 'no zombie hunters allowed here plz' sign under the group banner. ]

[ourdarklady]

[Sylvanas has no issues with being undead. Nope.]

So many love interests, so little time

[theoldways]

They can't all be called love interests. None of them really love me so...

[She sighs out.]

They just keep proposing to me.

[foolish_seal]

Why would they be proposing, then?

Demons aren't always the bad guys.

[thedemonqueen]

[Honestly she wanted to make this into a economics seminar focusing on the longterm effects of war and social unrest but the banner was already finished so...]

[lonemajin]

I prefer 'morally ambiguous'.

Fashionable People

[goldenbrocade]

[Why yes, he is wearing gold brocade over peach satin and a foamy blue cravat. Thank you for noticing!]

Re: Fashionable People

[justdandy]

I know how you find it such a chore to be so very dashing all the time, my lord

Destined to lose

[dragmire]

[You know what sucks? Prophecies being written by the gods themselves about how you won't win.]

[pay_your_respects]

[ You know what's worse? When gods and prophecies aren't involved, and you still fail to win always and forever. ]

BWTB : Bestfriends Who Turned Bad Support Group

[everhoping]

[ Room 108 is for people whose best friends have turned to the dark side! Stabbed them in the back! Set the firing squad on them! Stole their girlfriends! Killed their girlfriends, yada yada.

Commiserate. Riou offers pork buns and pats in the back. ]

[doestheickyjobs]

-- Hey, just saying, I think I have the wrong room, where's--

[Wait there's refreshments. He's changing his mind.]

What's in those bun things?

Amnesia And You...Whoever You Are

[aintnoconvict]

[ also good for people who just generally forget stuff and things. like who called this meeting. or what it's even for. ]

Chosen One, Schmosen One

[untoldtale]

[ destined to do what? save the who? it has been foretold since when? for people who are Unexpected Saviors, share tales of how hard you kicked and screamed to try and avoid your fated fate of fatefulness. ]

[waterproofed]

Oh, man, how about we talk about how annoying it is to have not one but TWO prophecies where you get to play a huge part in the fate of the world? That sucks.

Big Eaters

[aetherial]

[Alternatively known as: "I just have a different sort of metabolism."]

[excommunicated]

I think I need some new ways of phrasing "Don't worry, I'll pay for myself" when I find myself going out for dinner with others in public. I don't want to be rude or dismissive about it, but I also don't like the look of fear other people often get when they think about the bill at the end...

Does anyone have any ideas?

I'm a "Humanitarian"

[nosequelpls]

In my defense, I only tend to eat bad guys, and not even very often.

Morally Ambiguous and Proud of it

[its_mine]

Personally, I just like pretty and interesting things. If someone won't hand those things over, I can't be held responsible for the consequences~

[idkmybffpyramid]

I prefer the term "flexible" myself. Makes you sound more... Personable.

Why is it my job to defend the unknowing world from supernatural threats?

[traineeassistantdirector]

Seriously. Sometimes I feel like there's a demon incursion or a murderous ghost every week. Is it too much to ask for the evil sorcerers to take a day off so I can watch TV and have a beer?

Re: Why is it my job to defend the unknowing world from supernatural threats?

[51stcenturyjack]

Do threats that look supernatural at first sight count? 'Cause I'm up to my elbows and beyond in those every day.

Hopeless perverts

[like_its_golden]

...Well.... Y-yeah, I guess I am....

[odinsscion]

I am not a pervert. [Yes, he is.] I simply enjoy sex and see no shame in that.

Masked crime fighters without superpowers

[girlinasquirrelsuit]

Taking on evildoers with just gadgets and kung fu can be exhausting. Am I right?

Re: Masked crime fighters without superpowers

[justlikeacircus]

A little metahuman ability would be nice, I have to admit - just don't tell Batman I said that.

Unhealthily attached to a sibling

[squeal_like_a_piggy]

Hey- I'm not "attached" to that miserable bitch.

I just don't feel right when she's not around, is all...

....

Shut up.

[spongetastic]

Um... I'm not sure what's so unhealthy about being attached to your sibling.

When everything you do makes it worse

[unvarnished]

[ditched somebody you were supposed to protect? Came back years later only to wreck same person's life again? And you wonder why nobody trusts you. Why is August even here?]

[technosorcerer]

[Q isn't sure why he's here either. Not sure what he could possibly say, but he came because he has to be able to talk about what's happened--all of what's happened. Now that he's here, though, he's been quietly sitting off to the side listening and not saying anything.]

Ungrateful Offspring

[best_dad_ever]

[thingol]

[One of them isn't his, from a biological viewpoint. The other one...kind of had a point.]

Extremely attached to your sweet-ass ride

[breastpionage]

If I didn't ride every day, I'm not sure I could even go on living...

[like_its_golden]

I really love my bike! The Mikazuki 5~..! ♥

[Kintaro points over at a pink bicycle. Real men ride pink bicycles.]

There's nothing quite like taking a long journey- and getting there with your own power! Y'know what I mean??

Thank God for Anytime Minutes

[notblackwesker]

[Yeah yeah, Raven will introduce himself to the group- right after this important call to HQ.]

[failed_exams]

[Meanwhile Miharu chatters away on her cellphone]

Like, OH. MY. GOD, and THEN what happened? REALLY!? OOhhhhmygod you totally should have instagrammed that!!! No, I mean like seriously!!!

Hard to Communicate

[berserked]

[This is going to be either very awkward or very quiet. Maybe both.]

[notafurry]

...

Traitors and betrayed (triggers likely)

[technosorcerer]

[Where those who have betrayed and those who have been betrayed can talk openly and anonymously about exactly what happened and for the former, how they'll do better in the future.]

[fairbrook]

[Integra wasn't sure why she decided to come, but took the opportunity to a few things to get off her chest.]

My lifetime butler who has raised me since childhood betrayed me-- by joining an army of Nazis who waged war on London, and became a vampire in the process.

drugs & demons.

[detoxes]

[just in case any of you people out there are recovering druggies with demon possession/stalking/killing problems. may contain small traces of inappropriate tree behavior & other triggering things.]
