Fear


🔪THE FEAR MEME 🩸



There are two kinds of fears, rational and irrational. Being afraid of realtors is an irrational fear.

— Lemony Snicket, A Series of Unfortunate Events

HOW TO PLAY:

  • Comment with your character. In the body of your top-level, your character is forced to admit their biggest, darkest fear. Maybe they assumed no one was listening, or perhaps this is the work of a magical truth serum. Either way, it's out in the open now.
  • Other characters can offer comfort, judgement, or probing psychological questions to delve into the root of this.
  • An especially evil character might look for ways to exploit this newfound information... but you wouldn't do that, would you?
  • Anything involving images, especially scary images, should be linked and tagged.

[Steve just breathes for a moment, giving Tony a troubled look. The worst of this has always been that he gets where Tony's coming from, and there's not a damn thing he can do to make Tony feel better about it. They all have responsibility. They all have nightmares. Tony not fixing something doesn't mean it's solely his fault.

.........but if Tony doesn't come up with a fix, then it's still his responsibility even if he didn't cause it, even if someone else could've found a fix. So it doesn't really matter what you call it.]

It's difficult to be betrayed if one doesn't put too much trust in others.

[After a moment, though, Starscream does have to add a bit more reluctantly:] But it's also... difficult to live like that.

It's. Good to see you alive, Shockwave.

Failure.

[There is hesitation as she tries to choke back what eventually comes falling out whether she likes it or not.]

Failure to live up to expectations, to fulfill my family's legacy, and failure to prove that I was the right sister to keep the Tohsaka name. Failure to prove that such a choice wasn't in vain.

It wasn't untrue but the second part caused him to scowl. "Afraid that I will be completely blind before I get to see all the things I want to." He didn't like to speak about that part at all.

The last part scared Karl in that Raev might eventually go completely blind. If he did then the Swede would be that outreached hand to be there to support him.

The Army losing its grip over the public narrative. Our nation's oldest institution crumbling apart and the old order I'm built into changing.

[ It shouldn't come as a surprise, even if the second half is more candid (and less becoming) than he would usually share. The man's the highest-ranking attorney in the Republic of Korea Army and oversees all of its legal defenses. Preventing his greatest fear happens to be his job. ]
