The [Animus] Support Group Meme
(we all know these guys need it)



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 is 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.

(Meme snagged from the famous one on bakerstreet. You know the one.)

AFRAID OF DOGS

[alwaysataclimax]

[Don't look at me like that. Dogs are scary, okay?]

IMMORTALS AMONG MORTALS

[warriorscribe]

*...yeah. Outliving 99% of the people you'll ever befriend sucks.*

It's hard to believe one could be jealous of immortality.

*Even if they're all immortal in the tower anyway.*

[hachitaro]

Does it count if you can die but just not from old age?

BEING PURSE OWNER IS SUFFERING

[vvvroom]

[It's hard, being a Persona user.

It's hard and no one understands.]

[sukeban]

[There, there, Suou-kun. There, there. We understand.]

SO YOU'RE HAVING AN IDENTITY CRISIS

[cant_be_tamed]

[Mainly because you keep bumping into past reincarnations or however that works??

Upon retrospect, having a bunch of other Links in here would make the whole identity crisis thing worse, but oh well.]

this is a poor tag, I am sorry

[ocariness]

[ This Link actually shifts kind of uncomfortably augh.

What is actually speaking when your identity crisis includes:

- Should you even be a hero
- Maybe you are a mistake of existing
- Heroes aren't girls
- Gender identity crises as well
- Whether or not you're even worth of your title
- The fact you got put to sleep but somehow the Wind Waker who was your age wasn't

... Yeah, settling for uncomfortable silence!!!! ]

BEING A BAD GUY

[great_king_of_evil]

[ It's hard people. You have to do horrible things. Most of the time you're right. You actually push progress forward. Your homeworld is remembered solely because of what you did. You are the smartest and most powerful one. Your plans get foiled by kids. You generally lose all of your people.

And everyone hates you. Nobody likes you. Your girlfriend quits you unless you brainwash her. Hooligans destroy your castle of Darkness. Gods would rather destroy the world than to see you win.

It's hard... ]

[cort]

[Plans getting foiled by kids...Cort can sympathize. He nods in understanding.

It's hard trying to bring salvation to everyone when they hate you.]

WOULD BE DEAD BY NOW IN CANON

[attheclocktower]

[There's a reason that whole "owing the Tower" thing Jason said to her made her snap.

Also: This can include people who were dead when they arrived]

[nobirdie]

[ Raises his hand, yup-- ]

I was a ghost, technically.

EVERYONE SHIPS ME WITH MY BEST FRIEND

[sageprincess]

[A w k w a r d.]

[dragonspooker]

I DON'T LIKE GOURRY THAT WAY, DAMN IT!

MY PARENTS ARE DEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAD

[cant_be_tamed]

[...Wait.

Why is he is this one? It's not like he's ever made a big deal of it...]

[evokingfool]

[But he didn't bring it up that often, and he moves on!

Really.]

CONSTANTLY HAVING TO SAVE THE WORLD

[midgarhorizon]

[And not getting any credit AND getting death orders from your own company. That sucks, dontcha know.]

[attheclocktower]

[Since their muns are apparently insisting that indirectly saving the worlds counts by allowing the person who did save the worlds to wake up...

She doesn't agree personally, but...]

RAMPAGES OF VENGEANCE OVER LOST LOVES AND YOU

[moontothetide]

[Can also include lost friends, or relationships that suffered irreparable damage without including one partner dying.

Either way, let's face it, this is probably long overdue for her some people.]

[nightmareofdivinity]

... [Cough.]

IS LINA INVERSE

[dragonspooker]

IT WASN'T FUNNY THE LAST TWO MEMES YOU DID THIS, MUN, IT SURE AS HELL ISN'T FUNNY THIS TIME!

[midgarhorizon]

[points and laughs]

ALWAYS FOILED BY THOSE OF LESSER INTELLIGENCE

[denigrator]

[aka, mad scientists not-really-anonymous.]

[pitythefool]

[Muttering curses under his breath. The words "stupid teenagers" are likely peppered in there too.]

EATEN BY A MONSTER

[evokingfool]

[...Why would you even mention that!?]

[ofdewandglass]

SOB

NONHUMANS-R-US

[hachitaro]

[Come on, there's got to be a bunch!]

[technologic]

[SUP.]

(ALMOST) ACCIDENTALLY THE WORLD

[death_awaits_you]

[ Is that bad?

For those reluctant world destroyers among us - whether because something forced you to do it or you were tricked or because fate just decreed that you were going to end the world.

All welcome whether you actually ended the world or were thankfully stopped by those meddling kids someone or other. ]

[nightmareofdivinity]

[Later in canon he gets stopped, does that count?]

used as nothing but a tool, and dying before finding happiness

[donttouchthequbeley]

[Being a tool, and manipulated at that was nothing no one should experience. Even worse when you kill the original Puru, the only one she could fully call sister.

And the worst is never repenting, never knowing how to make up for those crimes after death. Revival isn't helping when she can't help those very people she harmed.

So yeah, being reminded of that is not pleasant.]

GOT AU'D INTO MORE SUFFERING

[papadojima]

*Given how cruel people are, he can't be the only one.*

[moontothetide]

[Tara here is proof that not dying does not automatically equal happiness.]

M-My girlfriend died, um, just as we were going to get back together, a-and then I, um, left all her friends behind and wandered around with her angry spirit...who was, um, apparently actually the ultimate incarnation of evil...following me and t-telling me what a failure I was.

[Compared to just getting shot...]

SURVIVORS OF LINA INVERSE

[beknightedheroine]

If there was a legal system here, I'd have sued for damages to my eardrums ages ago.

[dragonspooker]

Are Final Bosses

[nightmareofdivinity]

[Power-wise it makes sense. Story-wise the players all want to punch someone else even more. Still.]

[attheclocktower]

[Not via her canon point, and technically there was another boss after her but she was the SequentialBossFight/ClimaxBoss so it counts

sob]

losing loved ones, over and over, and over, and over...

[fusedstars]

[Friends, girlfriend, sisters...yeah, losing them is not pleasant in the slightest, no matter the circumstances.

A lot of people can sympathize with this, right? Lord knows he has experienced this WAY too many times. And the recent one left probably the biggest hole.]

[crouching_sin]

... Tch. More times than I can count.

skirt-chasers anonymous

[hardknoxlife]

[ C'mon guys. The tower has a lot of lonely ladies who need company and cheering up, right? ]

[thanabro]

[OPERATION BABE HUNT MARK II]

"WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT MY BACKSTORY" CLUB

[syncingdoll]

Re: "WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT MY BACKSTORY" CLUB

[nodeviations]

[Backstory.

What backstory.

He doesn't have a backstory.

Whatever you heard was a lie.]

MANLY GUYS WHO DO LIKE CUTE THINGS AND/OR LIKE SEWING AND/OR COOKING OR ANYTHING CONSIDERED "GIRLY"

[get_bent]

[viditlibertas]

[DO STARS COUNT

ALSO DO HUMANS COUNT AS CUTE]

TIME TRAVEL BULLSHIT SHENANIGANS 101

[chronomancer]

[Bring your own shovel. Also, horror stories welcome, we all need to feel better sometimes.]

[viditlibertas]

[...does it count if you caused the time shenannigains by manipulating AUs to warn people of their own, possible impending deaths???????]

OBSESSED WITH QUEEN TO AN UNHEALTHY DEGREE

[fracta_anima]

[Appropriately enough: 'I Want to Break Free' is blaring in this meeting room.]

[keepscalm]

[England stop looking so smug.

Stop it.]
