AS RIPPED OFF BAKERSTREET WHOLESALE

The C&C Support Group Meme



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's 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.

BROTHER ISSUES

[insufferablysmug]

I don't have a brother, I don't need to be here.

[professorlionface]

Our relation isn't biological, I shouldn't either.

[insufferablysmug]

Then why are you?

[professorlionface]

I could ask you the same.

[insufferablysmug]

You could.

Why are you here?

[professorlionface]

Because I harbor a lot of bitterness towards someone who could be considered like a brother to me.

You?

[insufferablysmug]

Because I disowned someone who used to be my brother.

Congratulations. Neither of us belongs here.

[professorlionface]

And yet, I don't see either of us leaving.

[amiga]

... I'm in love with my brother.

[insufferablysmug]

I - what?

[amiga]

He's adopted!

I mean... that doesn't excuse it! But--!

[insufferablysmug]

Explain this.

[amiga]

I'm in love with my adoptive brother. I know it's wrong, but what can I do about it?

[insufferablysmug]

What made you fall in love with him in the first place?

[amiga]

I always loved him, even when I was a little girl. There's nobody who understands me the way he does. No one else makes me laugh, no one else knows why I cry. It's just always been that way.

[batmantled]

...Where do I even start.

[amiga]

[OH GOD WHY ARE YOU HERE ;~;]

[insufferablysmug]

Oh, someone who does belong here.

Please, do tell us all about your problems.

[plantpacifist]

My brother got ported in, once. Almost the first post he made was about genocide.

...Yeah.

[insufferablysmug]

At least he had plenty of genocidal company while he was here, presumably.

[plantpacifist]

You know, I think he actually avoided most of the others? Before he arrived here he was already dead, and the cause he was fighting for didn't matter here.

Not to say he wasn't plenty of trouble anyway.

[insufferablysmug]

Mass murdering brothers generally are.

I suppose.

[plantpacifist]

They're what, dead? I wouldn't have wanted him dead. He was a bad man, but he was still family.

[insufferablysmug]

That was your mistake.

[plantpacifist]

[Ouch, Monet, you really hit the nail on the head.] Maybe so. He died saving my life, though.
