A QUESTION FOR A QUESTION


YOU MAY KNOW EACH OTHER ALREADY - OR YOU MAY NOT. UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, YOU'RE NOW PASSING THE TIME ASKING EACH OTHER QUESTIONS. IT'S A GAME! A QUESTION FOR A QUESTION. YOU START OFF ASKING YOUR OPPONENT A QUESTION OF CHOICE AND IF THEY ANSWER IT, THEY'RE ALLOWED TO ASK YOU A QUESTION IN TURN. THE RULES ARE SIMPLE, ONLY AS LONG AS YOU ANSWER THE OTHER PERSON'S QUESTIONS ARE YOU ALLOWED TO ASK QUESTIONS YOURSELF, BUT THERE IS NO EXPECTATION OF TRUTHFULNESS HERE, LIE IF YOU MUST OR WANT, JUST KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING.

How to play -
1. Comment with your character's name, fandom and preference.
2. If you want, leave a question in the comment field that your character is asking their opponent. Or don't. I'm not the cops.
3. Pick other characters to question and have fun!

Do you believe in destiny?

[freearcadia]

Fate - Destiny, you meet the people that you're supposed to, experience the events set up in your way, and one is inclined towards a certain way of living - that I believe.

But I do not believe that everything is preordained, how you respond to those things, to that person you cross paths with, is entirely in your hands.

What makes a strong leader?

[desertpowered]

Integrity is key. Being there on the front lines, figuratively or metaphorically, for your people always helps - a willingness to put yourself in physical danger. It lets them see that you’re willing to risk yourself for their sakes.

And what do you think?

Bill Cipher | Gravity Falls | OTA

[tetrahedonist]

What makes you happy?

[desertpowered]

I like being treated like an ordinary person. Not the Messiah, not any kind of savior, just Paul. I’d gladly see the back of my powers, even.

Do you think being special is worth it?

helen cho | mcu

[ugin]

Does time really heal all wounds?

[armsistice]

It helps. But the emotional bone must be set properly, or else it will give trouble ever onwards, and repair requires rebreaking.

Apt metaphor, really. Do you have that sort of wound?

elia martell | asoiaf | ota

[veryfond]

What gives you hope for the future?

edward teach | our flag means death

[fxckery]

Do all dogs go to doggy heaven?

[technicalpacifist]

Absolutely. It's the most welcoming place there is.

Did you lose a dog recently?

Dr. Octopus | TSSM | OTA

[armsistice]

What would you change about society?

[tungwag]

Things might be better if people understood all the little mental shortcuts they took. The way they think about groups, or in groups. The generalizations.

It's a normal thing to do and I'm not going to say you always need to avoid it. But you have to know you're doing it.

What about you, cupcake? What changes do you think about making?

[Because it was obviously on their mind...]

daphne kluger | ocean's 8 | ota

[metball]

Fanciest event you've ever been to?

[lovelycharming]

UGH, every single soirée my parents dragged me to probably counts... although I suppose one of the grandest was a dance at a literal medieval castle, but that was for a job. I still had to dance and I still hated it!

kamisato ayaka - genshin impact

[shirasagihimegimi]

What is your favorite place?

bruce wayne/batman ( the batman )

[batsymbol]

How heavy is the weight on your shoulders?

( spoilers avoided by default otherwise mark for them for others if they come up, please. )

[ugin]

Honestly? It depends. Back when I thought I could solve the world's problems by myself, it felt like I'd be crushed any second. But at least I could control the weight even if I couldn't let it go.

Then I learned that in the grand scheme of things, what I could do was a tiny part in a bigger effort I couldn't control, and the weight lifted somehow.

Does it sound crazy that I almost prefer the former?

James Flint - Black Sails

[deadlywalrus]

What's your favorite story?

René Scarlet (Male AU/Adult) | Touhou Project | OTA

[lordscarlet]

[[ Since I headcanon him as sounding like Lestat I couldn't help myself. ]]

If you had to drain the life out of someone to live, who would you choose?

[terrifies]

Former United States presidents.

Do you believe in karma?

miu | sputnik sweetheart | ota

[ferriswheeling]

Who are you when you're not yourself?

[terrifies]

I've been told I don't think, so therefore I probably am not.

Are these serious philosophical questions or fun puzzles?

roland crane | ni no kuni 2 | ota

[adregem]

What would you do with your second chance?

starfire | dc animated

[highboltage]

How could you save your world?

[ferriswheeling]

I'm not sure my world is worth saving. But that's probably very selfish of me to say, isn't it?

Ross Hunt | OC

[tincanhead]

Can you hear the blood pumping through your veins?

[terrifies]

Only after inadvisable physical activity.

What's it meant to mean?

Birdie Lewis | OC | Vampire: The Masquerade | OTA

[acaseofyou]

Are you a good dancer?

[ferriswheeling]

Not particularly, but I do have an adequate sense of rhythm.

Is being good really the point of dancing, outside some professional context, I mean?

bruno bucciarati | jjba

[winzip]

Who are you loyal to?

[goldentraitor]

My children above all.

[And to continue the conversation along this same vein.]

What would it take to make you lose your loyalty in someone you cared about?

theo bell | where mischief lies

[backronym]

What does "home" mean?

[wordiness]

Wherever my husband is. And honestly, it's kinda been that way since we started dating. .. I guess it's different for everyone, though. What about you?

Norman Jayden | Heavy Rain

[arihab]

How do you break the ice with strangers you have no choice but to interact with?

[No thought exercises here, he's just getting himself some advice.]

[ferriswheeling]

I tend to tell people something embarrassing about myself right off the batch. Something that isn't too intimate, but still represents you. I attend many functions with business partners I hardly know and this always has a noticeable effect. What would you say, if you were to try?

fíli | the hobbit

[knifethrew]

What would make your family proud?

[texashe]

If I gave up anything interesting and acted just like them.

Wanda Maximoff | MCU

[evreica]

How does the world see you, and how do you see yourself?

[godofpoverteehee]

Weeell, that depends on the name they know me by. But I'll play along! The Heavens don't want me around. All they see is how my nature causes calamity to their interests. But what I see is someone who wants to live a peaceful, happy life!

What do you want out of life, ignoring what people think you should want?

mara sov | destiny

[bomblogic]

[ voicetesting. no Witch Queen/Season of the Risen spoilers pls and ty. ]

How much value do you put upon life that isn't your own?

[desertpowered]

As much as I can, and as much as is realistically possible.

[Spoken with the tone of someone resigned to killing, but who is also not necessarily happy about that.]

How much are you willing to do what’s necessary?

billy kaplan ( marvel )

[wordiness]

If you could go back and fix one mistake you made in your past, what would it be?

[nomorefear]

Why do you ask questions that you know'll make people feel like shit?

[letnotyoursorrowdie]

What does justice truly mean?

[mousquetaires]

Everyone has their own idea of what justice means, don't they?

[ But it's one that weighs on her mind, as well -- particularly when it comes to Goro Akechi. She imagines that's far from the response that he's looking for. Nevertheless, the Thieves have their answer, and Akechi has his.

She knows him too well to assume that he would budge on it. At this point, surely, it's a matter of pride. ]
