Support Group

[pippilongsockings]

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.

Dumb blondes support group

[ourlittlenordicangel]

[buson]

I ain't dumb, just for the record, I just get real carried away and say or do stupid soundin' stuff. I'm smart! I'm a mechanic, I can fix all sorts 'a stuff! I'm just here 'cause I thought maybe I could learn some things that'd keep my foot outta my mouth.

[He'd like to be better, but he sure is insecure.]

Oldest Sibling Support Group

[holdshisown]

Cursed Support Group

[catsgothistongue]

[For all those who've been cursed in some shape or form, be it in the past or still currently.]

[epicnerd]

[Oh. Well, he could at least be supportive to others here as he has long become accustomed to his situation.]

Would you feel more comfortable if someone else went first?

Died Support Group

[hydrofluoriced]

[To all those who've perished or died, this group is to bring the departed, recent or not, together.]

[havenomercy]

Is this where we share our feelings?

Support Group for Unrepentant Murderers

[forrestertailor]

[None of us did anything wrong and actually we’re fun and sexy and everyone says we smell great!]

[borntoreign]

Murderer is such a loaded word, don't you think?

[And yet, you attend the support group. Curious.]

death has no handle on me support group

[vivisectio]

[for bitches who cannot fucking die who just refuse to who won't who keep slipping her grasp]

[scp073]

[ the biggest sigh. ]

Support Group for Dumb Bitches

[halfsmart]

[Marlowe is standing at the back of the room pouring a cup of coffee and planning and sneak back out into the hall. He can’t help overhearing the sharing time, however.]

Raised their/a child all by themselves support group

[stupanda]

[Now it never specified 'perfectly', but potato potahto.]

[havenomercy]

Does it count if it was only for a year?

Good boys/girls/etc. support group

[dreamingofburgers]

[For all the sweet and pure beans who can't do no wrong.]

Support Group for Clones

[cnrkent]

[He'll just be sitting at the table, eating all the snacks.]

[donesitups]

... Does being the robotic recreation of a man's dead daughter count?

Accidental Villain Support Group

[wouldhavefollowed]

[He's not all that happy about the name, but... well. He does have a lot of guilt to unpack.]

[corautnil]

Really, the worst part is, accidentally or not, you'll always still be seen as a villain. People are so simple, when you think about it, believing the first they hear and never trying to seek the real truth.

Vampire Hunter Support Group

[sirintegra]

(tea and light snacks to be served. byob.)

Re: Vampire Hunter Support Group

[born_to_hunt]

I don't really see why this is necessary.

Marginalized Religions Support and Advocacy Group

[wontforbidtherain]

[Aphra did bring snacks. The smaller plate of honeyed saltcakes are probably too salty for anyone who isn't comfortable drinking pure seawater, but the larger one is at a more reasonable level of salty-sweet.]

She's eating one from the smaller plate as she starts taking some notes on ground rules.

[sisterimperator]

What does one define as a "marginalized" religion in this case?

Non-Traditional Family Parenting Support Group

[learnedfool]

 

[holdshisown]

[It doesn't get more non-traditional than raising your kidnapped/adopted sons together with your brother, does it?]

All things considered we were a fairly normal family.

Characters Created By Problematic People Support Group

[corautnil]

Don't really comprehend how it ends up being the character's fault, especially with choices made well after.

I disagree quite a lot with mine anyway.

[primevenison]

At least you were actually in the bit she wrote.

...Wait, actually, is that better or worse? Straw poll?

Support Group for Criminals With Some Morals But Not Enough to Stop

[buson]

[A hand-written sign, all in loud-looking, capital letters. Yes, even the small note is just smaller capital letters.]

_{*Friends and family of criminals also welcome, as long as they're not cops or annoying.}

Ground rules:
1. Respect that not everyone has the same moral code you do.
2. Don't preach. You can gently advise someone if they're open to it or asking for advice.
3. Management reserves the right to deny entry and membership to anyone they (*I, Buson) find distasteful. If I get bad vibes, I'm throwing you out, buddy.
4. No members are allowed to kill other members on these grounds!!!
5. Management (*still me, Buson) recognizes that fights will likely happen, but try to avoid seriously harming each other. This ain't fight club.

[yellowjournalism]

[Don't mind him, just sitting here by his lonesome. He's not even going to try and talk to anyone unless directly approached himself. For now, he's just sulking in the background like the angsty teen he is.]

Tortured kids and teens for their own amusement support group.

[alrightcampers]

[He has no regrets.]

[Loved that show, ffff]

[buson]

[Judgmental look. He's leaving your little group alone, but he's watching you, buddy.

Oh, sure, Buson roughed up a kid once, but he had, like, reasons. She was accidentally (really!) taken hostage and set their actual target free, so that makes it all better and justified*!

_{*Only in his mind.}]

Fabulous support group

[wearinghoney]

[For people who are stylish and know how to make themselves or others look good. Just a fair warning, she may judge your current ware.]

[bluebolt]

I am fabolous and cool and charrming but I don't wear clothes at all beside my shoes...

I think I should still get an honorary seat based on how cool I naturally am.

Zombie-ish outbreak support group

[melophobic]

[For those who had to go through some kind of apocalypse where zombies, flesh-eating or a different sort, roam the earth infecting and/or killing people.]

Ice cream lovers support group

[dancethroughthedanger]

[Exactly as it reads on the tin.]

[serperiority]

Why would anyone need a support group for loving ice cream? Otherwise, isn't it just a club? Unless you mean you're addicts and it's negatively impacting your health, so you're trying to quit...

Screw-ups Support Group

[shitbirdistheword]

[For all the fuck ups and accident prone people who make a mess of everything.]

Modern Slang Support Group

[scarlet_devil]

Gyatt? Rizzler? What the hell does any of this mean?

[ Yes, she's 520 years old, so what? ]

[catsgothistongue]

Your guess is as good as mine. Do people just stick a bunch of words and letters in a blender, spin them around, and come up with new words that 'sound cool'?

[He's from like the 1990s, what does LMAO mean?]
