the death meme


(CONTENT WARNING. This is a meme about death and may deal with suicide, depression, extreme violence, illnesses, etc.)

This is it. The final curtain. You're at the end of your life, and there's someone here you really, really need to say something to before you die.


CAUSE OF DEATH

1 - Accidental. Nobody meant for this to happen, but it doesn't matter now. Due to negligence, arrogance or just plain bad luck, you've become gravely ill or injured and are now in your last moments. This covers all kinds of accidental deaths--strangulation, drowning, car accidents, unintentional beheadings, whatever you can think of.

2 - Murder. Somebody really didn't like you. Enough to kill you, it seems. You're now dead by someone else's hand. (Maybe even the person replying to you?) As with accidental death, this covers all types of intentional, malicious murder, regardless of method--so poisoning, stabbing, shooting, etc., all work here. Same with all the below options: any possible variation you can think of on it will work!

3 - Suicide. There is no hope for you, and no way out. You've reached the absolute bottom pits of despair, and the only recourse you have is to take your own life. Someone shows up to stop you... but they're too late to help you now.

4 - Terminal illness. You have cancer, or tuberculosis, or cholera back when people got cholera. The doctors have done everything they could and it wasn't enough. The only thing to do now is give your loved ones the bad news.

5 - Starvation. So thirsty. So hungry. Maybe you've been traveling in the desert for hours, or maybe you're just really poor. Whatever the reason, it doesn't matter, because you're slowly wasting away until you're nothing but skin and bones.

6 - Death in battle. You've died a hero's death, and gone out in a blaze of glory. Or maybe you were a coward who got shot for deserting? Either way, you're now a casualty of war. Will you be honored with a parade or scorned as a traitor to your country?

7 - Natural causes. You've lived a long, happy life, and now your story is at an end. In a warm bed, surrounded by your family and friends, you peacefully drift off. Just make sure that you've made a will somewhere, or at least use your deathbed to set the record straight. Otherwise, who knows what kind of squabbles might errupt after you leave this world?

TIME LEFT

1 - A few minutes. You're fading fast and you don't have much, well, any time left. Better tell the person with you that you love -- or despise -- them with your last breath, because you'll never have the chance otherwise.

2 - A few hours. You haven't got much time left. Is there someone you still need to kill? To kiss? Better do it quick. (Note: last kisses not recommended for people dying of highly contagious illnesses.)

3 - A few days. The doctors have given you the news, and it's not very good. You've only got a couple days left to live. You should start trying to make peace with people and saying your final goodbyes with the days you have left.

4 - A few weeks. Take that vacation you've always wanted to go on but never had the chance to. Go do that thing you've never thought you'd be any good at. You've got only weeks left to live. Don't waste them.

5 - A few months. While you aren't quite on death's doorstep yet, your lifespan has still dwindled considerably from what you probably thought it would be. How are you going to spend your last few months on Earth? Making the world a better place and telling your family you love them? Or raising as much hell as possible?

RELATIONSHIP

1 - Lovers. This is your husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, mistress, whatever you call them they were the person you wanted to spend your life with. Too bad you don't have much of a life to spend with them anymore.

2 - Siblings. Your beloved little or older sibling is just standing there, watching you slowly waste away before their eyes. Can you say anything to comfort them? Note that it doesn't necessarily have to be interpreted literally; adopted siblings and friends so close they might as well be siblings work too.

3 - Parent and child. Nothing is worse than a parent having to bury their child... except, maybe, a young child now alone in the world after losing their parent. As with the sibling prompt, this can be expanded to include parental figures and people who are LIKE a father/mother to you as well as actual biological parents.

4 - Co-workers, teammates or classmates. You were fighting for the same side. Or you worked together in the same office for years. Or they sat behind you in biology all semester. However you met, how do your react when you find out someone who used to be a fixture in your life is going to die?

5 - Friends. You're the best of friends! You go everywhere together, know all each other's secrets, and are never seen apart. At least, you didn't use to be. Now one of you is dying and the other one is left alone in the world. Or maybe you're dying together. Wait, is that better or worse?

6 - Bitter enemies. You hate, hate, HATE this person. In fact, maybe you killed them. Or they killed you. Or maybe nobody killed anybody and they're just bitter that Mother Nature got to you before they did. Regardless, they want to confront you one last time before you bite it, if only to rub your nose in your imminent demise and their ability to outlive you.


HOW IT WORKS:
1. Post your character and preference
2. Respond to others.
3. Tell the person what you need to tell them before you bite it.
4. Have fun!

Sherlock Holmes | Moriarty the Patriot/Yuukoku no Moriarty | ota / MtP cast

[finallyivecaughtyounow]

(battle, murder, accidental drug overdose, everything of these is possible with this guy. Or maybe just old age, if you prefer)

Loki / MCU

[coldsong]

[All things considered, 'You will never be a god' is a pretty good final fuck-you.]

They were very good last words. (I am sorry.)

[come_binky]

[The scene is relatively grim, as it was written. Death watches, standing alongside with his sword, as Loki is throttled until his neck finally gives out. At which point Death swings his weapon and parts Loki's soul from his earthly remains. His soul coalesces, stumbles, and ends up on his ass on the deck.

The rubber chicken he lands on makes a dreadful ear-piercing and pitiful screech that lasts a considerable amount of time before finally sputtering to silence.]

Maedhros | the silmarillion | ota

[holdshisown]

[come_binky]

[Death has a great deal of power that he rarely exercises, with purpose or otherwise. He has no ambitions, so there is little reason to, except in the course of his Duty. In most instances, he can claim a soul where they fall without overmuch duress. Sometimes he stops Time for a final moment, to grant closure, to give the ease of stillness. In this particular case, however, Death's sword cleaves him free a moment early, a heartbeat before the fire and molten rock would consume him.

It is one of three kindnesses he intends grant.

The second is that he does not return this one so quickly to his Gods. Maedhros may have a moment in the space between, the endless span of desert beneath the starry sky of eternity. His fall is broken by the soft, bone white sand of innumerable hourglasses, all emptied with the passing of their namesakes.

The third kindness Death grants is, frankly, less impressive than the other two, but he's trying, okay? He sheathes his sword, stands above the fallen elf, and tries his best to look sympathetic. It doesn't really work considering, well, his whole lack of a face.]

Eligre, the Lady Crow || flexible high fantasy OC || OTA

[lady_kaivodulin]

{{Accidental, Murder, Death in Battle. Most likely due to a bad decision on her part. Also possibly executed or burned at the stake for her many crimes. Also? Even in a setting where people can be brought back, I'm sure dying also hurts and is terrible and remains traumatic even after returning.

She will also beg/bargain for more time, if she can.}}

Caoimhe | DND 5e Homebrew | ota

[amhran]

[ m/f if ship implied, Caoimhe can easily die she is a skill monkey and support character. As such can often be a target haha, as a few times in the campaign. Her broom and being a -use inspiration to move myself without attacks of opportunity and 2 other people- was hilarious and fun. She is an oc, and this meme seems really fun so I will try to provide some food for thought -

Possible death scenarios:
- Will always die for you, even if you are the villain. in the campaign she threw herself in front of one of the enemies, a character in the party wanted to kill for revenge. The problem was they were a twin of a sister, and Caoimhe refused to let them continue the cycle of anger continue. Another example is, a group of people working for the BBEG cornered them and told them to back into a corner. To purposely teleport them away, but Caoimhe noticed one of them was one of the party members sister. She walked forward to try to talk to her, got blasted with a fire ball. Got up, and calmly insisted through her aches, bruises, and burns - to please talk to her.
- Maybe killed for ritual needs? Daughter/Creation of two Primodial gods!
- Annoying you, she can be persistent in wanting to stop you from doing evil bad things.
- A special mention as the Harp, after waiting so long for her beloved heroes to come and slay the BBEG after using her body to more or less keep it trapped for centuries.. Finally, she can be laid to rest.

General death in battle is good, and etc! ]
