THE BAGGAGE MEME (pt 2!)

[qualitysock]

Everyone has baggage. What's yours?



• Post with your character. Include name, series and preferences in the title.
• In the comment, list three things your character considers baggage. Per Urban Dictionary, baggage is "the shit people go into relationships with."
• Characters replying state whether or not they can deal with the baggage listed. If they can, they get to post a baggage of their own. The OP then gets to decide if they can deal with that.
• OR do whatever you want. Discuss said baggage, laugh, ask questions, be horrified, throw a party, whatever.
• Some baggage might be triggering.

Idea from anon here.

Sade Nocens || OC

[aeonicdarkness]

Kamille Bidan | Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam

1. I was forced to kill the closest thing I had to a sister to save my friends.
2. I had to watch as the one of the few people who really understood me sacrifice herself to save me after undoing her brainwashing

[Gundam Baggage is suffering]

Bucky Barnes ✪ Marvel comics

[ex_asymmetric660]

❶ Mourning a lover who's had all memory of him erased.
❷ Dead as far as the world at large is aware (for the third time).
❸ Carries the guilt of being brainwashed to be a Soviet assassin and spy after having been an American hero during WWII.

[lunarwolf]

...Wow. That's familiar.

Inigo | Fire Emblem: Awakening

[manhandled]

1. A shameless flirt -- it's practically second nature to him.
2. He comes from a horrific place and time, so to cope, he tends to hide what he's truly feeling with a smile and cheerful personality.
3. He's sensitive. He can cry at the drop of a hat (though he'll usually save that for private) and he doesn't take rejection very well.

Haruki | Hybrid Child oc | OTA

[cunningdoll]

1) Has some trouble understanding the creative side of the mind.
2) Won't live to be as old as others.
3)Was raised from a child as his mother's lover. *Trigger warning: sexual abuse in-family.

Vex - Lost Girl

[vexappeal]

- I own more make-up than you do and wear it on a regular basis.
- You will always come second, after my businesses.
- I am extremely active in the BDSM culture and am a routine practiser.

[Nothing about the Fae or being a Mesmer because, well. Humans don't need to know about any of that.]

[empathydisorder]

What are your businesses?

[That seems more important than the whole make-up and BDSM things.]

Will Graham || Hannibal

[empathydisorder]

1. I live with a veritable pack of stray dogs.
2. I don't like making eye contact with people.
3. I empathize with serial killers.

[questionslinger]

You are very obviously not my type but -- animal hoarding? Seriously?

Superman | Man of Steel

[anewhope]

- too good for his own good
- identity struggle
- issues with the military

Re: Superman | Man of Steel

[delusionaldreams]

Too good, is it?

Luke Campbell || Heroes

[microwavelength]

1. Being abandoned
2. Picking fights specifically to feel something
3. Trying other people's personalities on for size since I hate myself

Charlie McGee || Firestarter || OTA

[charring]

* Trust issues galore.
* Can't handle big emotions.
* Habitual liar.

Jeane | No More Heroes | OTA

[begetsvengeance]

1) I'm an assassin.
2) Daddy issues times one hundred plus one, though not really because he's dead. (Don't ask unless you want ~story time~)
3) My brother is kind of a douche, but on the bright side I can kick his ass. If you're worth it.

Rabastan Lestrange | Harry Potter (Marauder's Era)| het

[prettyawkward]

1. I've been engaged twice, and I've been abandoned by both of them.
2. If you're not magic I can't be seen in public with you.
3. I severely hate dogs, large bodies of water, and heights.

There are more but... yeah.

Glitch | Tin Man | OTA

[aintnoconvict]

1. Half a brain = amnesia + epic short-term memory problems. I barely knows who I am and WILL forget who you are.
2. Will either repress serious issues or gloss over them with blind optimism.
3. ...severely low self-confidence, but I still hate being patronized.

[acharmingsmile]

Oh... I don't know who I am either!

Handsome, though.

Edward Nygma | DC Comics

[questionslinger]

Psychologically incapable of lying directly. Evading and omitting? Totally okay. Lying? Nope.

Not very handsome and never been very lucky with love.

Criminal past and an estranged child from a past relationship.

[hypnotic_patter]

...an estranged what?

Bruce Banner | MCU

[broke_harlem]

(WHERE DOES HE EVEN START)

- Trouble trusting authority figures, or just people in general
- Considered a criminal and a fugitive by the government
- There's also that pesky green rage monster

[formersurgeon]

1) I spend all my time solving crimes with my partner. I may forget plans we make, and if a case comes up in the middle of a date, I will end the date early.

2) My partner is very protective, and is a big six year old. He will probably grill you incessantly and pull complicated pranks on you (NEVER let him get your phone).

3) If I ever have to make a choice between you and my partner? I will choose him. Every time.

[whentheypassthehat]

So when you say 'partner', are we talking about some sort of open relationship arrangement, or...?

Kozue Kaoru | Revolutionary Girl Utena

[wildanimal]

1. I want my twin brother to love me and only me.
2. I date boys he disapproves of, just to get his attention.
3. My parents divorced when I was very young and I'm probably not over it yet.

Shizuo Heiwajima | Durarara!!

[reallyhatesviolence]

1. Rage always takes control and gets people hurt as a result
2. Tried to kill little brother with a fridge
3. Will most likely never have a girlfriend or many friends in general due to violent outbursts

[tamerer]

[Okay, he is instapinged by pretty much all of this, but let's focus on the important part first. The anecdotal part.]

A fridge sounds a little impractical for that sort of thing! You must have been really caught up in the moment.

Music Meister | Batman

[hypnotic_patter]

1. Perfectionist when it comes to appearance and performance.
2. Severe issues with control/being out of control.
3. Ability to mind control everyone makes it hard to normally engage with society.

Earth-3 Red Hood | Batman: Brave and the Bold

[aceinthehood]

1. Body issues surrounding his violent disfigurement.
2. Lingering PTSD, see point 1.
3. Nigh-suicidal and not very sensible dedication to fighting injustice.

[questionslinger]

We need to get you involved in speed dating, maybe. Too quick for the horror to set in, see who is inured to clowns?

Merrick Baliton -- Power Rangers: Wild Force

[lunarwolf]

1: Cannot read thanks to severe dyslexia.
2: Survivor's guilt - one of two survivors of an entire race, and the only one left awake.
3: Crippling self-worth issues.

Clint Barton/Hawkeye | MCU

[broken_arrow]

1. Major trust issues stemming from one too many betrayals.
2. Overwhelming need to be the best.
3. Still suffering after effects of killing and/or assisting in the deaths of many friends and coworkers while under mind control. Also fear and trauma from the mind control itself.

Re: Clint Barton/Hawkeye | MCU

[provingequal]

Glad to see I could leave a lasting impression.

Duela Dent - DC universe

[fiftytworeasons]

> I travel between universes. At last count, I'd been to 52 unique ones.
> I have Daddy Issues galore.
> I'm sort of a chronic liar.

Hatter | Syfy's Alice | OTA

[whentheypassthehat]

• Was essentially a drug dealer for quite some time
• Wouldn't recognise straightforwardness if he fell over it
• Enough trust issues to power a small country

[notoflegend]

Well, at least we can work on the trust issues together, right?
