are you alive you haven't sent a meme in a while
IC TESTIMONIAL MEME
HOW TO PLAY:
STEP ONE: Post a top-level for your character!
STEP TWO: Tag around and provide IC testimonials to other characters! Feel free to sign them as ~anonymous~ or not, in the case that your character doesn't want to own up to their Shakespearean description of "a grade-A dick" or "MILF MILF MILF".
STEP THREE: HAVE FUN!!!
BONUS: Bonus points if you can link to actual IC gossip that your characters have been doing about others -- we all know it's out there!
Now, get that gossip out!

He's an okay guy, otherwise. Heart's in the right place.

There is a reason tales of heroism are just that, tales. It gives the storytellers license to omit the more unpleasant or unpalatable details. I trust he has a better understanding of that now.

Just because I want to help as many people or living things as I feasibly can doesn't make me want to be a hero. It means I have a heart. And I'll take that over any promise of bullshit glory any day of the week.
At the end of the day, I'll never sacrifice my principles for something as fleeting and worthless as glory. So if that's gonna be a bee in your bonnet, deal with it. Otherwise, get outta my way.

Ah, your principles. Lovely. I'm sure that it's a great comfort to the Fae who still live that their friends and family may be dead, but at least your ideals are intact.
Heart and ideals are all well and good, but there comes a time when the greater good must be prioritized, and if you don't know that now, then you never will. I hope you can make your peace with that.

Because if you want to put the entirety of Celliwig on my shoulders? Be my guest. Parade me through the streets in front of all of the refugees and proclaim to them that I am the one that let their homes be burned and their people die. I welcome it.
Because here’s the truth, your majesty. Celliwig is on all of our shoulders. But if shifting blame to someone below your standing helps you sleep at night, then by all means.
Leave it to the people strong enough to shoulder the responsibility. Keep pontificating or pony up and string me up. Because all you’re doing is proving my point. And when I’m cut down from the gallows, I’ll stand back up and keep doing what’s right.

He carries old wounds, but despite that, he has managed to hold on to something important and precious in his soul. And I have faith those wounds will heal. From what I've seen, they have already started.
Regardless, I will stand by him until they do, and long after.

I think after a time you'd get tired of playing protector or babysitter to someone like me.

I admit, ever since I was a kid I've had a bad relationship with survivor's guilt.

My mom died giving birth to my brother and I.
My father and brother were murdered when I was five and I only survived because I pretended to play dead under my father’s body.
After that, for a little over a year I was in an orphanage. No one wanted me because they thought I was cursed. Kids and adults alike told me it was my fault my family died.
So…yeah.
[That’s rough, buddy?]

It wasn’t always roses and sunshine. I had to work to become seen as someone trustworthy and it took everything I had just to get allowed into the smith’s guild. But in the end, I was the youngest person in the history of the guild to reach the rank of a master and I’d managed to carve a nice little spot for myself.
…then I got framed for murder. So.
