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.)

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... ]

[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.]

[great_king_of_evil]

[ They don't even try to listen. They don't even remember why they hate you sometimes. They're just like:

"You suck." or "You're evil and you're mean!" or yet again "You hurt people and it's bad."

When all you try to do is make the world a better place. ]

[It is, isn't it? No one else has the same vision or ambition, no one else does nearly as much, yet you're the one everyone complains about and blames for their problem.

Hojo's wife left him and turned into crystal.]

People don't appreciate greatness. Or genius.

[great_king_of_evil]

[ Pretty much, they just sit and wait for things to happen. Those who actually move and do efforts? Despised.

This wife sounds, well... You can get better pal. ]

It's a common in most humans from my homeworld. They're afraid of those greater and smarter then them because they cannot understand.

[denigrator]

[Precisely! He's active and accomplished--the others only react in response to his brilliant works. And usually belatedly. Pathetic, really. Their success is more accidental than due to any competence on their part.

Fortunately, he did manage to find a lot of other ladies afterward, so it's not that bad.]

My own world is much the same. Such narrow minds. People fear change. They fear vision.
