bodyguardbracket:

Welcome to the Bodyguard Bracket!

What’s better than a character whose sole job is to protect someone else, even at the expense of themselves. Here we’re going to let all the bodyguards battle it out!

Rules

  • Character MUST be a bodyguard. This can be in title OR if they are either employed to guard someone or do so on their own for a significant amount of time
  • No guarding objects. The character must be guarding someone with sentience and/or personhood. It’ll ultimately be up to my personal discretion if it counts or not. If you’re unsure, submit anyways and give me a good case/thorough explanation of why you think they would qualify
  • No ocs, real people, Harry Potter, or Attack on Titan (sorry!)
  • Mcyt IS allowed on the condition that you can explain how they are a separate/unique character and not just the youtuber playing themselves (this is because I’m an old man who still is kinda confused by the whole thing, I have no personal problems with it, I just am a bit lost)
  • One character per submission form, but multiple different submissions can be made (just don’t submit the same character multiple times!)

Submissions Close August 1st @ 7 PM (GST)

Submit them here!

somehow instead of saying “as a treat”, I’ve started using the phrase “for morale”, as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.

and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.

I’m not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me

I’m taking away the word empathy from the NTs until they discover it isn’t a synonym for “giving a shit about people”

In an attempt to be less of a dick:

empathy is a brain function that some people (including me!) struggle with.

There are three types! Affective empathy, which is basically the ability to read other people’s emotions, Somatic empathy, the classic “I feel sad because you’re sad” and Cognitive empathy, which is the ability to accurately guess what people are thinking and feeling.

If you use empathy to mean “caring about other people” when you could use words like compassion, you’re implying a large subsection of the population (including people you may know) are heartless and bad simply because of the way they were born!

Not cool!
