hurt/comfort meme

[ex_rebelyell669]

the hurt/comfort meme


It is in times of distress that hope is truly found. How you handle those periods of duress is a mark of character. Whether you're the one in pain, providing sanctuary, or even if that ache is mutual, hurt/comfort is all about empathy. Connecting with the people around you.


Instructions:

→ Post with your character (note name, canon [if relevant], and preferences in the subject line).
→ Others reply by either generating a number between 1-21 for a prompt, or go off script, I'm not the boss of you.
→ Go forth and connect.


Options:

o1. injury: somehow, you've been injured. the severity, whether a mortal wound or "just a scrape" is up to you.
o2. sickness: thinking of calling out of work today? chances are you've got a common bug...or worse.
o3. fear & anxiety: careful where you throw that "scared to death" nonsense...it might just be an omen.
o4. loss of senses: you're missing one of those fundamental six senses, whether it's your sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste, or the Force.
o5. despair: the idea of hope looks more and more like a pipe dream right now.
o6. breakup: and we are never ever ever ever getting back together. ever.
o7. makeup: but you called me up again tonight...
o8. rescued: it's time for one of you to get your damsel in distress on.
o9. bad romance: i knew you were trouble when you walked in.
1o. loss: one of you has just experienced a loss of some kind; can you cope?
11. insanity: for whatever reason, "reason" is lost to you. you're seeing and hearing things. sometimes dead people.
12. tired/insomnia: is it the caffeine or the fact that you never leave your damned senatorial office? whether it's just lack of sleep or lack of energy, this exhaustion is bone-deep.
13. addiction: something's got you hooked, and you might just need a helping hand to give it some distance.
14. nightmares: okay, now you're definitely seeing dead people. do you dare go back to sleep?
15. blackmail: you've been caught and the evidence is compromising. do you seek help or vengeance?
16. separation/homesickness: whatever it is, the nostalgia's got you missing something (or someone) awfully.
17. betrayal: your trust has been violated, but is it a real or imagined slight?
18. stranded: you're stuck. maybe someone crashed your only ship for the 50th damn time. are you sure this isn't reality tv?
19. sins & guilt: the weight of your past deeds is like holding a world on your shoulders. maybe it's time to seek some help, atlas.
2o. secret: loose lips sink spaceships.
21. wildcard: "take your script and shove it, meme."

01. (perhaps being last-minute saved off Scarif…?)
10. (many people/droids to mourn…)
12. (I like the whole genre of AU where they made it off Scarif and continue to work for the Rebellion, Cassian possibly out of the field due to injuries, Jyn now in it…?)
14. (all the damn time, either/both, hard to get back to sleep alone)
21. (heck yeah) ]

We have got to stop meeting like this.

["Meeting," of course, being entirely colloquial, said as if she hadn't picked her way through this winding Imperial facility with the express purpose of finding Baze. Her friend. (It's still a peculiar sentiment that tugs at something she can't quite describe, in a way that her mother would have told her was the Force speaking to her despite them both knowing that it only worked that way for Jedi--and now, for no one.)

Jyn cracks a brave half smile, dangling the keycard she'd swiped to "force" the door open from a hooked finger and nods back down the way she'd come.]

Coast should be mostly clear. Unless you wanted to stay?

Breha Organa | pt | tcw | r1 | legends

[braakenglass]

[can't see a couple of these for her for obvious reasons, like break up, bad romance and addiction, but everything else is fair game probably.]

16 and I didn't even have to cheat.

[protest]

[If he never had to leave Alderaan's atmosphere again, Bail is fairly sure he would be perfectly content. Leaving is always punctuated with some bittersweet pang of longing for home, but it's even worse now that the Capitol has begun its shift from a Republic on its death bed to the horrifying birth of an Empire.

It's shocking in how easy it is, that shift from one bureaucratic form to another, and horrifying still in the realization that the true foundation for this change had been laid years prior to its inception.

The only change, it seems, is in how useless he feels to stop it. Or even that tireless dedication to the Republic's security feeling completely and utterly hopeless. That is, he's realized, exactly what the Empire wants him to think, which is precisely why his senatorial routine doesn't change.

But some days, that longing for some semblance of reason is so strong that not even duty and keep him away from the hyperspace lanes that will, without fail, carry him home. Today is one such day, and the pull is so strong that he does even bother to give notice first. The most Bail had thought to do between thoughts of Breha's name over, and over again had been to cancel his appointments remotely. He doesn't even give an excuse.

It's only when he's regaining his balance on the floor of the landing pad does he stop to think that maybe he should have at least indicated that the rush carried no inkling of emergency. Just need.]

Cassian Andor ✢ Rogue One

[raisedarebel]

[Can be either hurting or comforting, but might be a little awkward at the latter for most people (except Jyn). Voicetesting so please be kind!]

[k_2so]

[ooc: Hi, hi, hi, it's 'me' i whisper from beyond the bad son. I'm about to crash but we should so something. Cassian clearly should be the hurting one. Botched mission or something? Let your BFF find or take care of you? :D ]

Bodhi Rook ⌲ Rogue One

Qui-Gon Jinn | Pre-TPM / TPM

[sithkabobed]

[Happy to be in either role! Can also do AU/time shenanigans. WHOOPS forgot to mention: no 13, 9, 7, 6 or 15!]

[universaloptimism]

[ ooc: i got a 5. How do you wanna do this? ]

cassian andor | rogue one

[enlisting]

( very much voicetesting so much voicetesting i'm not even kidding )

cassian andor | rogue one: a star wars sob story

[rebelintelligence]

[either, esp. as the one giving comfort if you like distant + awkward. unless you're jyn erso, then it's a different kinda awkward.]

Kanan Jarrus | Rebels season 3 spoiler edition

[spectre_1]

( Despite the obvious, here either to be the hurt one or the comforting one )

Rolled a 12

[phoenixleader]

( How spoilery do we want this and who wants to do what? )

Garazeb Orrelios | Rebels

[spectre_4]

[voicetesting. please be gentle.]

[No. Ezra doesn't do gentle with Zeb!

By which I mean to say that I rolled a one. Got any opinion on who suffers?]

Jyn Erso | Rogue One

[builtonhope]

Rey | TFA

[scrounged]

Leia Organa | end of rotj

[oratorical]

[not super interested in 4 (with Leia losing a sense. I don't mind if it's the other way around), 6, 9, 11, or 13, but the rest are good. Usually played from the end of rotj, but I can be flexible there]

Re: Leia Organa | end of rotj

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

14.

[He's usually keen on hiding his distress; he's got to keep up a tough front. It's hard to make sure it's like that when he's asleep, though. Even now, a few weeks later, it still sometimes happens. He twitches, feeling the solid block closing around him in the dream...it's dark and nothingness, but he can still hear. Soft grunts and groans occasionally sound as he moves around.]

Ezra Bridger | Rebels

[lothrat]

[No 6, 9, or 13, please. Open to be the hurt or comforted!]

[neverwantedtobesith]

((Does Ezra want a Sith? I have to admit that I'm curious on if Garth'zel can manage to actually be helpful. XD))

Garth'zel | SWTOR OC

[neverwantedtobesith]

((No 4, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, or 15. Otherwise, go wild.))

[avenger_leader]

Some kind of weird, accidental time travel? Or some other form of AU to get them in the same place and time?
