regrets

regrets MEME

Regrets. We all have them. If you say you don’t, you’re lying. Everyone can relate to that feeling that keeps you up at night, remembering the dumb thing you said in fifth grade.

Or something like that.

Anyway, regrets. Isn’t it better to get them off you chest? No? Well, today you’re not going to have much of a choice…

I regret following my father into exile in Formenos... I should have gone with mother instead.

Zeno | Akatsuki no Yona

[eternalshield]

Oh, Zeno can't choose that easily. Maybe... maybe not going to see everyone one last time.

Dick Grayson / Nightwing | Young Justice (Animated Series)

[bluer]

Does it have to be something I did?

I've... watched some friends die, and I don't know what I could have done to change it...

I have told some very momentous lies.

And I let one of my older friends shoulder a lot more of our shared trauma and burdens than I had any right to.

[reformedzombiecrimelord]

[[ OOC: alternate universe replacement crashing in to break hearts and shit ]]

The last two make more sense as regrets.

I know regrets rarely make sense, but... just sayin'.

Sokka | Avatar: The Last Airbender

[doesactivities]

My first girlfriend turned into the moon.

[endymions]

...the actual moon?

[hobblepot]

Not having been able to save my mother.

[There are few things in life that haunt him like her death still does. He still dreams of the dimming light in her eyes and her body growing heavy in his arms.]

[tunnelled]

[He could say he's had an echo of the experience. He could say that to lose the people they love might be a just reward for their scheming and ambition.

There are many things he could say. Some days he doesn't have the combination to his own safe: that place inside where memories and feelings reside is inaccessible in words.]

I'm sure you avenged her, thoroughly.

integra hellsing / hellsing

[sirintegra]

I was not able to protect my men.

Natsuo Todoroki (villain au) | MHA

[coldestsummer]

I should've just taken my brother and run away. It doesn't fucking matter that I was the younger one, I knew he was suffering and I just decided I was helpless to save him. I was the only one who could've saved him because I was the only one who cared enough. And I gave up.

It should've been me instead... if only I'd mattered enough to be able to take his place.

[Whoever just got this earful learned things that Zero didn't even realize about himself until now.]

Jason Todd / Red Hood | Titans

[nomorefear]

I regret killing him.

It's me. Hi. I'm the menace, it's me.

[bubblegumheart]

[Chrissy doesn't say anything at first, both because she's not entirely sure what she should say and because she knows that he's not big on opening up in the first place. So she sits, quietly, patiently, until he's ready to say more.]

James Cooper — original — ota

[rhythmicalcomposition]

I regret getting married.

[privateeyes]

Ah. [He can't say that he doesn't have the same regret.]

For any particular reason?

Vander | Arcane

[castironhound]

That I got to walk away form that place when others didn't.

Not being able to protect them.

Matthias — original — ota

[thedevilsaid]

Not a damn thing.

One | Drakengard 3

[theonewhofailed]

Not being with my sisters when they...when I needed them most.

Eddie Munson | Stranger Things

[munstar]

If I had to pick one? Just fucking running off and leaving the guys in the dark about what was going on.

[Then again, he wouldn't have wanted Gareth and the others getting mixed up in the upside down and all that shit with Vecna.]

I've done a lot of shit I maybe shouldn't have.

[borrowyourcoat]

Sounds like a lot of stuff you probably didn't have a whole lot of time to think over at the time.

Caoimhe | DND 5e Homebrew | ota

[amhran]

Being unable... To stop Sylas before he opened the box... I should have just... I should have just grabbed him sooner. I shouldn't have hesitated.

Aziraphale - Good Omens

[bookcollection]

[He doesn't even know how to place his regret into words or if it possible.

Well-]

Leaving. [him]

[onlyforgiveness]

It can be difficult.

To what purpose, might I ask?

Zelda | LoZ:OoT

[wisdominshadows]

Oh, where to begin? With my father's death? With what I enabled Ganondorf to do to Hyrule?

[A pause, then a shake of her head.]

No, I think. So many errors, so many bad assumptions... but even now, one fate cuts deepest.

Yunyun | Konosuba

[bocchithemage]

There's...there's some things I meant to say that I never...well, I mean, I could try again, maybe, but I feel like I missed my best chance...

[dathomirs]

[ She has a few of her own, but Merrin isn't one to offer information to those who might take it as weakness. Even if they are family of a sort. But that doesn't mean she won't listen with a sympathetic ear. ]

I didn't take you as the type to dwell upon regrets.

The Outsider | Dishonored

[whalefall]

[If anyone plays a castmate, hit me up, I can for sure give them custom regrets.]

I should have struggled; if it had occurred to me, I might have died elsewhere.

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd ✘ Fire Emblem: Three Houses

[frenziedazure]

Perhaps I should have listened sooner, said something sooner....instead of allowing myself to wallow in self hatred and guilt.

G'raha Tia ↳ Final Fantasy XIV

[precariousness]

Not going about things in a self sacrificial route with the intention of hiding who I was until the very end before.

Though I can assure there's more than that with part of it being my penchant for hiding things until the last moment.

[floralisse]

( A tilt of the head, her expression still. )

I don't regret anything. Isn't that a waste of time?

[hyperpotamous]

I don't believe you.

[ just like that... ]

Everyone has something.

lan wangji ▹ the untamed

[taciturnly]

I stalled too long.

kate galloway 🏅 original

[morns]

( Her usually deadpan expression twists, for a moment, with something caught between venom and self-loathing. )

Shouldn't have fell for all that bullshit.

[inside_job]

One of my best friends went and had children, a long time ago. I still wish I'd talked him out of it.
