Meme: Five Things to Five People

[scarlet_chaos]

We last did this one in December and we've all grown as people since then (probably):

Make a list of five things your character would like to say to five different people and don't include their names. The messages don' t have to be secrets. Try to keep it to those on the island (or those off island like our esteemed alums and expatriates!), but if you need to pad your list, or it's really important, non-islanders (canonical characters that might not be IG) count too!

Yes, you can do more than five, and by all means, please reply to one another/guess at each other's responses!

1. You are really fun and sweet, and your powers are just awesome. I hope we can hang out more, I could use more lady friends.
2. Being around you again is so comforting, but I feel like I'm taking advantage since I haven't told you everything yet.
3. I know you're not technically his dad, but I think you're a good dad.
4. At times I think I'm bothering you, but I'm lonely and I think you're lonely too. Figured we could be weird lonely people together.
5. I wish I knew where you were. But even--even if you're not you, I hope you're safe and are figuring things out.

1. You are a miserable old man, but I'm glad you're around. I don't know, makes me feel more like myself than I had been in years.
2. You're one of the coolest dudes ever, and I'm glad we both silently agreed to just brush off any references to our respective family trauma when hanging out together.
3. I miss all of you so much. I miss being a family, even a screwed up one.
4. I'm glad I took out your girlfriend's eye, and I'd do it to you too given the chance.
5. I love you more than anybody else, and I know you know that. But, like, I want to savor every moment and can't wait for the future. Marriage, kids, all that, I think about it all the time.

1. I'm so impressed that you got through such a tough time and came out on top.
2. If there's any good that came out of the hole, it's that I got to spend more time with you finally.
3. It's really hard for me to think too far ahead ever, but I've never been happier in my life.
4. I think of you as family but I really can't bring myself to say anything like that out loud yet.
5. You can get me to try new things I'd never even consider otherwise, and whether I end up liking those things or not I'm appreciative anyway.

1. I look up to you. I've always looked up to you. I still look up to you, even if I now see that you have cracks like everyone else. You're better than you think you are.

2a. God, I want you to like me. I've sort of accepted that this is what it looks like, maybe, when you do like someone? I'm gonna keep trying to get something that looks like 'nice' out of you, though.
2b. I want the rest of you to like me even more. I just seem to have accidentally started with maybe the hardest one? But God, I worry about you all hating me when the time comes. I'm pretty likable, but I've never had to impress so many people at once. Not as Annie, anyway.

3. I can't even begin to tell you how helpful you were this spring. Just knowing I had someone in my corner, who knew what was going on sort of and didn't ask questions -- it was just, like, the truest friendship, and I love you for it. I know I can count on you for anything, any time. There's no one I'd rather get stuck in a hole or wander around a convenience store with.

4. I feel so lucky that we met, because no one gets me like you do. Not even Diego, and that dude gets me on almost every level, but not this one. You deserve for every nice thing you've ever wanted to happen, but you're so cynical that I know if I said that to you you'd be all, "Psh, sure, Annie, nice Pollyanna act," but for real, you're such a good friend and so generous with your time and energy. Everyone should be so lucky as to know someone like you, and I feel like you have a hard time believing that kind of thing sometimes.

5. You're the most important person in the world to me, but you know that. I think about our future all the time, even as I try to just forget about that whole impending apocalypse part because it scares the hell out of me to think about losing you, even theoretically. I'd rather daydream about whether I'd hyphenate my name (probably not) and what kind of shit Vought might put me through if I'm still on the team when we have kids. We make the best team, no matter what we're doing, and I feel so, so lucky, every single day.

1. You were unexpected. You're still unexpected. And you make me happier than I've been in a very long time and you deserve the same, even if you refuse to believe that.
2. Out of everyone here I think you understand the most and I wish we saw each other more than we do now.
3. I don't think I will ever understand why you do the things you do to food but it's part of who are you and I do enjoy it. Especially when I don't have to eat the results.
4. Your presence was very helpful, when we were down there. Thank you.
5. I enjoy this ridiculous feud with you so much in part because I trust that you won't really do anything truly harmful. And because I know it's ridiculous.
6. I love you, always. I miss you, always. No matter what else, or who else, may happen.

1. I still haven't told anyone about your sweet mustache, but I have so many questions about it. (Mostly 'why?' but we should also totally talk moisturizers and such, too.)

2. I like you a whole lot and it's the scariest thing ever. You're gentle and sweet and thoughtful and so not my type (and yet you are also so my type, I've just never been open to it), and I'm probably going to ruin all of this really soon so you might as well enjoy it now. There's so much I haven't told you about me, but it's mostly that I don't know how to start talking about any of that, not that I think it would scare you off.

3. You. You are actually very much my actual type. I'm trying monogamy out, but I had fun climbing you (with a climbing partner at the time, of course), and I'll probably regret this whole thing where I'm not sleeping around anymore once leather pants season is in full swing again.

4. You are so annoying. Just. Intolerable. I don't know how you possibly have such a cool girlfriend, because you are clearly awful.

5. I'm an idiot for leaving. I love it here, but that was the closest thing I'd felt to home in...ever. In my memory, anyway. Sometimes I wish I could take it back. I miss you all. (Yeah, all.)

[stykera]

I'm right here. I'll listen to whatever you have to say, whenever you're ready to say it.

1. Not having to explain anything (let alone "talk" with you) to you and vice versa makes this the best working relationship I've ever had.

2. I know you can take care of yourself and you're a completely different person. But because you look like her I'm always going to try to protect you. You're also the only one who could actually push me to do something worthwhile... and even though I bitch about it, I appreciate it. It almost makes me thing I'm a better person.

3. It's been a long time since I could hang out with someone and feel comfortable with myself. If I wasn't such an asshole I might want more. Also: Malort is disgusting. How do you drink that shit?

4. I know I haven't been by the bar to give you shit recently. I still think of you as one of my best friends that I can tell anything without any sort of judgement.

5. You can fill my glass with sake all you want, I'm still not flirting with you. And I'm never going to admit it.

[noonedecidesmyfate]

1. You are infuriating but I'm beginning to believe you aren't nearly as hateful as you try and appear.
2. We've never met but please accept my sympathies for having grown up with him as a brother.
3. You've been a good roommate though I've no previous experiences to compare to.
4. I hope you weren't too embarrassed while we paged through those books in the shop. It was such an educational experience!
5. You're horrid and I fully expect to find a way to break this betrothal.

[alwaysonguard]

You are as much a mystery and oddity as you always have been- even with everything that has changed lately.

You may ‘still be learning’ to be a good guy but I think you got a good handle on it, so nothing to worry about there.

You are equally parts intriguing and slightly unnerving… and it is strangely captivating.

You are… an enigma, and I am still trying to figure you out to be honest, and I think I have a way to go still.

You were, and still are, my everything and I am sorry that I failed you and could not protect you…I will always love you.

[but_mostly_america]

1. You, sir, are an inspiration!

2. You are weird

3. You are also weird!

4. Weirdo

5. Extremely weird!
