meme: honesty

[throughaphase]

I have a day off/potential long night at work (it's been A Week, y'all) and I would like entertainment in the form of people blowing up my phone with notifs. Looks like the last time we did this one was August.

Tag your character into a comment. Other characters reply with how they feel about your character. It can be good feelings, bad feelings, or both - anything you want to get off your chest but it must be the truth and it must be IC. The honesty must be on a character to character basis and not as a player to character as with our anon love memes. Note that the characters don't need to know each other (people can prejudge others by what they hear!) and it can also be characters that aren't on the island.

For the purpose of this meme, characters may have total knowledge of IG events, but, as with any meme, it has no IG consequences.

If you tag your character into the meme, try to comment to other characters with your honest impressions of them and keep checking back during the day to see if new people have tagged in!

AIO just because.

Kitty / Rey

[uncertain_dume]

Kitty - I really am going to have to swing by the bar more on the nights you're working. You seem like pretty good people, and I'd love to just sit around and shoot the shit with you even when there isn't shark wreckage needing to be dragged out back.

Rey - You seem like a good kid. Like a curious kid who hasn't had much of a chance to explore that curiosity. It kind of reminds me of me when I was younger, though I had every opportunity to learn. I hope you get that, too. I mean, without all the... the whatever... that brought that to such an abrupt stop.

Sia

[myownface]

Yeah, I think we met, like, once? Back when our mutual friend-slash-favourite-idiot almost lost his arm? But you seemed okay then, and he seems to like you now, like, enough to kiss you, which is fucking awesome.

I don't know where I'm going with this. I guess if you make one another happy, then keep doing what you're doing. Also, there's like an obligatory 'don't hurt him' in here for good measure, but what am I gonna do, you know? Be mildly pissy at you from a different galaxy? Oh no.

Brooke

[newroutines]

So I'm not saying I was like pining for you or waiting for you to come back after the first time around because holy fuck, that would've been kinda creepy and obsessive of me, but it's so good that you came back.

Honestly, you might be better than what I deserve. But I don't care.

Kitty

[reicicled]

So I haven't actually met, like, you-you yet. But the you I met back home was a really great teacher who I could always trust to have my back.

Or yell at me when I need it. Which, I've met me, is kind of a lot. Anyway, when I finally get to meet you I'm sure it'll be just like how most things in my life seem to go these days: weird but also cool.

AIODTWing from home what even is focus I can't even

Kanan

[throughaphase]

I do kind of enjoy that half the time we see each other it's during or about something weird, and once my stuff at home is less of a mess and I'm around again, I'll absolutely be talking to you more. (Weird stuff or not.)

Norman/Sparkle

[refused2berescued]

Norman--You remind me of Gil, but a lot less dumb.

...That's a compliment.

Sparkle--I didn't expect to feel quite as displeased about not doing okay in your class as I did. That's weird. But you're not a normal teacher, either.

...That's also a compliment. I'm bad at this.

[boneyard_girl]

1) Sometimes when 'm doin' costume-stuff for th' girls an' I got little bits an' bobs left over, I think of how you'd wear it an' get a grin. 'S nice, t' have someone else understand th' importance of Appearance Modifiers, an' how powerful they can be.

2) Hope you're doin' okay after, well, bein' a slug fan. Sorry I didn't stick around t' check, but I had t' get th' fuck outta Fandom.

Norman/Kanan

[intotheout]

Norman -- You are super awkward, but just about the sweetest guy I think I've ever met. I might maybe have kind of a crush on you shut up.

Kanan -- I fake it really well, but I'm pretty sure you of all people know I don't open up to people easy. And you really seem like you're cool again and that that one time with the evil slugs really was an evil-flu or whatever, but -- I don't know. I guess I'm always still going to be waiting for that other shoe to drop again. Which is probably making you kind of crazy, huh.

Re: Peridot/Norman/Kanan/Jono/Sparkle/Zack/Nathan/Reno

[somethingwithturquoise]

Peridot: Not that we really need one, but I'm glad that Pumpkin gives me another reason to come see you because I always like talking with you and just hanging out. I feel like we haven't done it as much lately, so that's kinda lame, but whatever. We should totally go on some sort of adventure some time or something.

Kanan: I wish I could tell you how much I really, really, truly, honestly, totally want to help you with your Evil Empire and stuff without sounding totally desperate and pathetic, but....I am totally desperate and pathetic. I don't do well with boredom, and I'm just...so over home, and I'm starting to get so over here, and I need to move onto something else. And probably something else after that, but for now, I just want to fight bad guys in space with my cool fake space dad and his Honestly-Why-Are-You-Not-Yet Not-Really-Girlfriend. If anything, it's still a million times healthier than if I were to do stuff like that with my actual dad and grandfather...

Jono: You seem really cool. I mean, you already get points for being Dr. Lecter's hubby and all, but you guys are a really interesting and cool couple, and it's nice getting to know you through class. And I feel like you're definitely the type that is telling me a lot about yourself with music, too. Keep making him happy.

Norman: And I saved you for last. Because I hate the fact that I have Strong Thoughts about someone I've really only met a few times, but, okay, maybe stop pretty much being my brother who I have a very tumultuous relationship with? I know you can't help it, but it's kind of uncanny and weird me out. Let me give you a list:

Kinda scrawny, scraggly, nervous? Check.

Dumb ears? Check.

Stupid hair? Check.

Staring off at god knows what like a nerd? Check.

Some old Jewish dude's name? CHECK.

So, yeah, I'm trying not to hold it against you, Not-Morty, but when I see you, I honestly don't know whether I want to hug you or kick you in the balls...

And I don't even know you.

Peridot, Norman, Kanan, Jono, Sparkle

[justice_undone]

Peridot: I liked how quickly I could get you interested in singing. We should meet up and sing again at some point, I have been thinking of a few songs that you might like.

Norman: You seem like a kind person and I hope you are settling in well. I have to admit I found the thought of seeing ghosts like a heavy burden to carry.

Kanan: I liked talking to you, especially since we didn't meet during the best of circumstances the first time. I usually don't run off like that, but I suddenly needed to be alone. It doesn't happen every time, and I hope to talk again at some point.

Jono: It's strange to talk to someone in my head, in a way that makes me feel at the same time both comforted an uneasy. This has nothing to do with you. I very much enjoy working for you.

Sparkle: I worry about you, just a little. I have seen too many people suffer for caring about others and for fighting for what they believe is just. I hope you won't have to, more than you already have.

Re: Peridot/Norman/Kanan/Jono/Sparkle/Zack/Nathan/Reno

[in_sidon_we_trust]

Peridot: I miss having Zoology class with you and being fascinated with all the wonderful animals together! I could stand to do more reading; perhaps I shall have to use it as an excuse to come by the library more often to speak with my wonderful Big Sister!

Norman: Although I am afraid I have not been a very good Big Brother to my Little Brother; I truly must find you and see how you have been doing these past few weeks! I'm sure everyone has taken just as much of a liking to you as I have, because you're absolutely great! I hope maybe now you're a little more comfortable, since you did seem terribly nervous, but I suppose that is to be expected.

Sparkle: Please do not steal any more chickens. I know it was not entirely your fault, though, and it is quite impressive that you were truly remorseful and had such a strong desire to make amends for your crimes. But I am afraid that if you get sticky-fingered with any more of our fine feathered friends, I will be unable to help wishing upon you the wrath of a thousand cuccos.

Zack: You have shown yourself to be a just and patient leader! I am forever grateful for the opportunity to work in your wonderful shop and meet so many curious creatures because of it. Thank you! From the very bottom of my heart, and may I continue to be a steadfast employee for your truly marvelous enterprise! v

You know, it was weird not cohabitating with you for a while. I'm not sure I like it.

And, uh. I appreciate the cheerleading, I guess. I didn't realize you had that amount of misplaced confidence in my ability to make decent life choices left in you, it's flattering.

Jono

[okteiviakom]

I'm grateful.

Of the work I already gave up, sure, but more about this sense of acceptance you have about you. Or maybe it's just a lack of pushing, I don't know. Just... thanks for letting me do the things I apparently need to do.

You really are my favourite idiot, you know that? And I'm, like, super supporting the 'kissing Sia whatever that was about' thing that you might or might not be doing? Because GOOD FUCKING GOD is you moving on with your life and starting to do shit for yourself again ever fucking overdue.

And I'm kind of weirdly a little jealous, but that isn't because I want to be kissing you because I get that's weird, it's more I'm just a clingy ball of neuroses and my brain keeps supplying all these stupid fucking scenarios where you just fuck off and never come back, because I'm basically one big walking abandonment issue.

If ever there was any reason for me to regret paring down my music selection so much, that reason would have to be you. We do still carry music, of course, and you're always welcome to come in and browse. I'll happily open any record you'd like to listen to, in fact. Or you can stop by and bang on the drums in the back. Or play with Joni.

Basically, I enjoy your company and I'll shamelessly enable anything you've taken an interest in, even if it involves short sentences and a good deal of uncertainty. The moments where you forget yourself and you're just there in the moment with these new discoveries are absolutely worthwhile.

Now that I'm in a position of power in a place with a lot of real issues, my attitude on life seems to be "Just don't end up as a subject in Royals class."

It's actually really helpful, so, thanks.

You, uh, you know that 'understanding' works both ways, right? Like, you can walk up to a total stranger who thinks you're being a jerk to somebody and tell them that they're supposed to be more accepting of you, but... nobody is obligated to be accepting of you treating somebody like trash?

Ever?

I mean, I'm not even entirely sure what you were getting at, pulling being understanding out of thin air three minutes after you were yelling at a barista for getting your order wrong. You kind of just sound like a hypocrite and a bully, honestly.

Oooh, yes. Distract me from wanting to stab customers in the face with a probe thermometer, please!~

Summer Smith / Prince Sidon

[always_someone]

Summer - You're the intimidating girl in school, aren't you? I mean, maybe you don't mean to be, but you've got that 'cooler than thou' aura around you, and normally I don't care about that sort of thing, but I'm actively trying to not be the school freak this time around, and I'm pretty sure you're going to be the hard sell when it comes to that one.

Sidon - You're also intimidating, but I don't think you entirely realize that. And at first it was because you were huge and your teeth are, um, formidable, but now it's more because you're so enthusiastic, I don't entirely know if I can keep up. Still... you seem like a really nice person, and who knows? Maybe you were just excited because it was newbie day, or I was feeling overwhelmed already because of the same. I like you, though. Even if I feel a little like I'm a half-step behind you at all times.

Oh my god you're an intimidating kid to have in my class. Like, not in a bad way. Not even in a Breq way? In a 'you remind me a little of me and holy fuck do I not know how to handle that' way. I mean, I can't even handle me, half the time.

That said... shit, you're smart, and I want you to be involved in this class and to get everything you possibly can out of it. I'm not going to be the asshole who says that where you came from doesn't matter - trust me, I know it does, better than I let on - but I am going to encourage you to wear that background like a fucking weapon whenever you need to, because that shit is horrible, and it isn't who you are, but it makes you strong.

I gather you've got some serious weird where you come from, too, but even so, you seem like you're probably a cool guy. And I don't even know that that's a pun yet.

[special_rabbit]

You know, I'm not so sure we'd like each other very much if our relationship went any deeper that casual conversation and free food and cutting utensils, so it's probably a good thing that that's just as deep as I'd want any relationship to go anyway.
