Meme: Honesty

[onefootoutthedoor]

I'm only awake right now because my cat stampeded across my head, but how about a meme to kick off the week? We haven't done this one since last September and I want to be super nosy from the comfort of my inbox.

I mean -- ahem.

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!

And sure, off-island folks Reno, Peridot, and Zack, too.

Norman

You're a really good friend, even if we don't hang out too much. I like that we'll always have jailtime together and that I'll always get good ideas after talking to you. And I like that I actually can talk to you, comfortably, and enjoy it, which isn't true for me with a lot of people. You're just a really nice, genuine, interesting person, and I really like that about you. You're comfortable and you make sense to me, even if you are a total nerd. (But, hey, so am I).

Kanan

[1000yearstoolate]

I'm really surprised how my opinion of you has changed. Not that I think we're ever going to be best friends and not that you can't be annoying, but I appreciate our agreement to make some kind of effort.

After all, you made me tea as a kid.

Fjord

[1000yearstoolate]

I'm actually a bit fed up with you. All I've tried is to be friendly and to let you know I find you attractive. I'm really surprised that I do, by the way. Anyway, I'll leave you alone from now on.

Norman / Kanan / Fjord

[special_rabbit]

Norman: You're a good kid, kid. Keep it up. You might not always be the best, but you always try, and that'll get you far in life. Fortune favors the bold, after all. And there's nothing bold about just sticking with what you know and what's familiar. Takes a lot more guts to try something different, and I'm glad you've found something there in good hard work and a job well done.

Kanan: We haven't really caught up much since I finished up with that sword and all the ones for your practicing, and that's a shame. If anything, I should follow up to see how they're working out for you, but you've always been a real solid person that I enjoy talking to.

Fjord: You're a hard worker, a quick learner, and you never shy away from a challenge. Those are qualities I'd admire in anyone, but you had to go and add being considerate, dependable, and a heck of a lot of fun to it, too. You've set the bar pretty damn high for any apprentice I get that's got the poor luck of having to fill in those boots, and I'm mighty honored for the privledge of calling you a friend.

*cough*

(...What? It just says the truth. Not necessarily the whole truth!)

Kanan

[thatwaslucky]

There's a lot I don't tell you because i know you'd worry more if I did, but you have no idea how much it means to me that you worry at all.

Re: Vette / Norman / Sparkle/ Kanan / Fjord / Jono

[biotic_psychotic]

Jack:
Vette: You remind me of someone. Hm. Who could it be. You'll be ok, kiddo.

Sparkle: You are of my tribe and I'm keeping you. Little worried about you right now but you'll be ok too. I'll do what I can to make sure of that.

Kanan: Ickle. 'Nuff said.

Fjord: You're like a green Kaidan only more fun and far less judgey. ... That's a compliment. It means you're a good guy and you're a good guy in a way that doesn't make me want to make vomit noises. We should go get into trouble sometime.

Jono: You're another of my tribe and I'm keeping you, too. Sorry about the medigel thing. Oops?

Hernando:

Sparkle: Je t'adore. I adore everything about you. Your spirit is beautiful, your heart is great, and you are stronger than you give yourself credit for.

Kanan: I think perhaps things are better. I hope you, at least, feel better now.

Zack

[1000yearstoolate]

Can you please come back? I don't have enough nice and sensible people to talk to.

Kanan

[throughaphase]

You've been ridiculously supportive and helpful and it means a ton, and I can only hope I'm being as good of a friend back.

Not bad for bonding over throwing sharks out of ships.

Vette

[onefootoutthedoor]

It's practically criminal that we haven't hung out more, really. We should fix that. It'll be memorable, that's for sure.

Vette/Norman/Kanan

[seriesofbaddecisions]

Vette: I like you a lot and consider you a friend, but you're neeeeever getting into my warehouse.

Norman: You are a dork, but it's endearing and part of what makes you great. Being "weird" just makes you more interesting than a lot of people.

Kanan: Thanks for putting up with me and giving me a chance and getting me out when I start feeling stir crazy. And I don't exactly hate spending time with you.

Sparkle / Fjord

[notallbluemonks]

Sparkle: We definitely need to hang out more and be gay trainwreck disasters together.

Fjord: You get me. And you don't judge. You're a way more decent person than I am, and I . . . kinda want to learn a little about -- you know, how to be that. But only if you show me, because I know you won't be a dick about it. And I trust you. It's gonna kill me a little to say goodbye to you when you get to the Academy, assuming we do figure out how to get you home, but until then you're stuck with me.

Sparkle

[notconflicted]

I'm sorry I'm terrible about keeping in touch. Everything going on is just a lot, and I don't want to put that on you without knowing the backstory.

Which is also a lot.

Norman / BDG

[somethingwithturquoise]

Norman: You're alright, you know that? You still remind me of my brother in ways that make me want to give you, like, the universe's biggest atomic wedgie ever. But you're actually better than him, because you're a total nerd, but you're not, like, a total creep or anything, which is nice. Plus, I'm glad there's still someone around that can recognize how weird it is that I'm a teacher now and can remember my three and a half million parties. All this fresh meat can never truly appreciate just how cool I really was like you can, Norman.

BDG: So. Our friendship is super weird and probably really confusing to anyone who doesn't really know us, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I actually owe you a lot, too. All because you drove a bus and was nice to a petulant girl who thought she was headed to brainwashing school. I have an actually direction in my life, and something that's going to do some good, too...some real good for people who need it, instead of just sitting around, pissing away time and going on random stupid adventures that, at the end of the day, don't matter for jack crap. That's why you'll always be Bus-Driver Guy. Because if you weren't on that bus, who even knows where I'd be now? Just like if I hadn't been out that night...

...well. We don't need to go into that. Which is another thing that makes us great. We don't need to. And not in a bullshit avoidy way like with the rest of my family, but in a comfortable, understanding way when words just don't seem to cut it anyway. And you are family, both you and Hera, but in an uncomplicated way that I could never have with my real family.

I'd fight like hell for you, and I know you'd do the same for me. It'd be nice if we didn't have to, but we both know better, but I know I don't need to tell you that I am so, so ready for it.

And the fact that I got yours just as I'm finishing this and about to press "post comment" on mine is just, like, LEGIT, Beej. Fur. Reeaaallll.

Norman / Fjord

[goldfishontherocks]

Norman: You see the world differently from almost everyone else and I'm a little jealous, though not too much because if I think about it longer I'm not sure I'd want that ability. It does help me feel a little less confused and out of place, though. Is that weird?

Fjord: I can tell how hard you try to prove that you're a civilized and decent person, and it makes me sad that you have to do that. I didn't realize how bad it was for half-orcs in most of our world. But I think you're pretty cool!

You really are every kid who ever told me that a half-beast monster should be happy to be allowed to keep the company of more civilized folk, aren't you?

Keyleth / Beauregard / Peebee / Éponine / Tahiri / Kennedy / Cosette

[onefootoutthedoor]

And any of my other alums that I'm not awake enough to name right now because I'm going back to sleep for a bit.

Re: Keyleth / Beauregard

[built_fjord_tough]

Keyleth: I appreciate that you mean well-- I can see you trying to do the right thing in class, and I don't entirely think that's you playing a role.

Beau: You get it. You get a lot. I'm pretty sure that means you're stuck with me even if we do manage to make it to Rexxentrum. You're good people, Beau. You just hide it better than some.

Kitty/Sabine/Brooke/Kay/Rey/Jaina/Sia

AIODT leaving for work!

Re: Kitty

[built_fjord_tough]

You didn't so much as blink at me when I asked for a job. I mean, you don't seem to have very discerning hiring practices in general, but that still puts you on my list of good people.

Summer / Sidon / Amaya / Rosa / Astrid / Prompto / Sweet Dee.

[white_oleander]

AIODTLazy!

Amaya

[built_fjord_tough]

You manage to take practicality and wrap it up in a layer of adventure, strength, and hell, even fun. It's a rare person who manages that, and people like that are exactly the sort that I'm happy to give my respect to.

Hell, knowing you is one of the few things that makes not being able to get home tolerable.

Hernando and Jack.

[hernando_fuentes]

AIODTgodI'mnotawakeatallllll

Re: Hernando and Jack.

[built_fjord_tough]

Hernando: You seem like a decent sort. Little soft. Probably with tastes a little more sophisticated than my own. But decent.

Jack: I have a small list of people I could see forming meaningful friendships with here on the island. You're on it.

Liam Kincaid / Bobby Drake

[firstofitskind]

Even if the latter is Sir Barely Appearing In This Game, sigh.

Liam Kincaid

[notallbluemonks]

I did my best to be annoying as shit to you and you still think I'm fun to be around, which is kind of impressive I guess. It kinda means a lot though.

One of my friends is a cop and that's something I never thought I'd say but it's fucking hilarious.

Octavia / Jughead / Karolina / Mike / alumni

[smilestopscars]

I am juuust running out the door, so all my own honest impressions will be coming later in my evening!

Ezra

[myownface]

You were one of the few people I trusted back in our school days with even the tiniest bit of the ugly shit.

I'm glad you paid a visit. Missed you.

Ghani / Minako

[myownface]

Ghanima: One of these days I swear to god I'll strike up a conversation with you without being, like, freaked out right to hell trying. It's, like, several years of hindsight that has me thinking that maybe it's not about you. I've had shitty interactions with the extremely dangerous siblings of boyfriends before.

Minako: Bestieeeeeeee. My 'run away to Tokyo and become a professional karaoke bar patron' plan still isn't totally off the table. (Okay, it was never on the table, but I know you have my back, and that means a whole hell of a lot.)

Re: Hannibal

[myownface]

.... I mean. You're kind of my dad. In the good ways and a few of the bad ones.

I'm coming to terms with that.

Tip Tucci | Mae Borowski | Eliot Spencer

[intotheout]

Off-island folks (Raven and Priestly) are fair game too

Tip / Mae

[white_oleander]

Tip: We haven't really talked much lately, which is kind of a shame, but I'll always appreciate how you helped me out when I first got here. And I need to snag more book recommendations from you again soon, too.

Mae: I find you really fascinating. And I really like drawing you. You're easy to talk to and I'd like to get to know you better, but my own awkwardness and ennui get in the way. I think I might actually be getting a little bit of a crush on you. Which is kind of a head trip for me.

...which also sort of makes the drawing thing a little creepy. Sorry. I...am not good at these things.
