It may very well be the worst thing that's ever happened to you! | OPEN MINGLE

Summary: A catch all for the Horrible Memory Truth Event!
The Story:

For the duration of this event, everyone's entire room will be replaced with a memory playing on loop. They will likely recognize the moment as soon as they see it – it is a moment they remember as the worst moment of their entire lives. It could be a memory from home or something that happened in Wonderland. Lengths of the memories will vary, but they will find that these are not memories they can merely watch – they can step into these memories and attempt to make changes to them, and the memories will be long enough that they have time to make changes (though no more than 24 hours). However, anyone who tries will find that it is futile. No matter what you do or how hard you try, the outcome is always exactly the same somehow. No changes you make will prevent that horrible outcome. It just happens over and over and over again no matter what you do.

On top of that, perhaps complicating any attempts to make changes, everyone will be forced to be honest for the duration of the event. No lies or half-truths are allowed, and filters will be gone for the entire five days. If something bothers someone then they will blurt it out, regardless of whether or not it hurts someone's feelings, and no one will be able to simply keep quiet when they have something to say. They must be truthful and honest with every word they say.

This is a catch-all log for all of your Worst Memory needs! Please mark your threads clearly in the subject line with your character's name and Room Number + Floor for character rooms, or just location if you're making a top level for a public place in the mansion (like the tea rooms or the kitchen) so people can see if there's already a thread available. And here's the plot post if you need it!

Have fun!

I see.

[...]

I was talkin' to Alphys earlier and the two of us were debatin' whether or not he could still be here, even if it's been quiet on his end. Hearin' that though... i--it's a relief, even if a part of me still fears the alternative, that he's just hidin' somewhere to make people think he's gone until...

[... Until he comes back with some scheme. The mere thought of which causes his hands to shake with the temptation to go in his hair again, but he can't because Stanford's still holding them in front of him here.]

He won't.

[Ford feels this is definitive.]

I also didn't tell you or anyone else because I knew you all would wonder how and why I knew that and I hate speaking to anyone about Bill, because everyone always wants to ask questions that lead to uncomfortable topics like being possessed.

[...He feels Fiddleford's hands shake and suddenly remembers he's holding his hands. Gently, he tries to steady them with his own.]

--It's not weird, is it? How I feel? And me trying to calm you down with physical contact?

[Not that Ford knows, but if they can just forgive each other, they'll be free of being compelled to truthfully overshare. There's so much to forgive though, so even if he knew, it might not help much.]

[While Fiddleford certainly had a much happier childhood than Stanford perhaps, he did grow up in the same time period, and is thus very aware of the prejudices folks have. Even though his family supported his decision to go to college and pursue science rather than taking over their hog farm in Tennessee... well.]

No. It's unexpected, but somehow, it... it doesn't feel wrong, hearin' it from you. Even if I've been told different since before we met, told how I should respond to somethin' like that.

[It's not really a conversation his family had all that much, but they didn't have to for Fiddleford to get the implication from society that they would have had words, if not just shy of threatening getting his hide tanned six ways to Sunday if they had ever caught him having that kind of relationship with a man. Especially now that he had a wife (even if she was an ex) and a son. The respectable, expected image of a proper family man.

...And yet]


I already said it before, but I still think you can do better. You deserve better.

[He's just a lead weight, an anchor tied like a noose threatening to pull the other man into a point of no return.

But as he stares at their hands, here at the point where a better man would have let go and stepped back, his mouth opens and the words fall out before they can be stopped--]


Except, I'm... happy. Bein' told that I'm loved despite that. And that it's you, the person that I care about the most in this place.

I've heard that from people here. Alphys, even. I don't get it, but I'm glad it's not repulsive to you. Not that you're the kind of person who would be that way. [He actually did feel the need to add that last part, but he feels the rest is self-explanatory. They grew up in the same era, the same nation. Of course he wouldn't assume Fiddleford to be a hateful person, it's just the way things were growing up--and still even for Fiddleford in the 1980s.

Ford steers his mind away from thoughts about what his parents would say. His father always expected him to wear that suit Stanley eventually adopted--for a wedding. A wedding! Ford has always been married to his work in his adult life. It just wasn't in the cards and now, thirty years later? Rather than start a family, the one that matters is his brother, the young Pines twins, and all the family friends in Gravity Falls (and here in Wonderland too).

... Yes, that's a good thing to think about. Family.]


--You're... [Ford laughs mirthfully.] Of course you are! I told you, I'm going to forgive you. I already do. I just don't want you to hurt yourself. And if other people want you to do that... I don't agree with it, but people can choose to smoke and drink, so... they should at least know what they're getting into. They have a right to know. I don't like it, I think it's wrong, but if a person wants to choose to wreck their brain they should at least know what they're doing beforehand.

Ugh, look, I--Fiddleford, I don't want better because better doesn't exist. Perhaps between the two of us we can make up one decent human being, or... something like that.

I wish you wouldn't refer to it as "wrecking our brain" like that...

[Even if Stanford... isn't exactly wrong here...]

... Hey, Stanford?

It's easy to be arrogant when I'm often right and you know it. [He only halfway means that.]

...? Yes?

[oh my god Stanford can you not--but Fiddleford is going to ignore that as, for a moment, he's actually not sure what to say despite the truth inducing effect this room has. so, he conveys the truth he wants to share via a physical action: he lets go of Stanford's hands, but instead of moving away, he's moving closer...

... and wrapping his arms around the other man in a tight hug.

And while being closer means that Stanford will be able to see certain things like the patches of his hair that are thinner than the rest from hair that's been torn out and slowly trying to grow back, or the way his clothes seem looser than normal from losing weight, or even the shadows under his eyes from lack of sleep... Fiddleford doesn't really care about that right now. Instead he's entirely focused on this, the feeling of gratitude that he has for this person here in front of him.]
