WHAT TYPE OF LONELY ARE YOU?

loneliness of the mask

you're a good actor, a good liar. your masks are intricate and hand-carved. for your lover, you wear a mask of softness, quiet words uttered in the night. your friends, a boisterous laugh, always a joke at the ready. your professionalism at work and school is steady, allowing the occasional lapse to make a small joke. you have to keep them interested, after all. you have to please them. you are manipulation itself, your head is so full of your intricate webs there is nothing left. you might be the loneliest of them all, seeing as there's no one left behind your facade. you lost your real face long ago.

Self-Knowledge aka Callout for Spood Specifically

TENDERNESS

You are not afraid of the sufferings and sorrows of other people, even when they are acted out in unappealing ways. Beneath even defensiveness and self-righteous behaviour, you know that deep down people need nurturing and consolation. One danger is being naive about people’s dark sides. But at your best you know you can be mean yourself, which helps you to sympathize. You bring strength and forgiveness where other people might panic.

NEEDINESS

Being affirmed and nurtured by others is a central requirement for you to feel safe. This means you can be slow to warm up to other people, which is difficult because what you most need from them is their warmth. Yet you know how to be vulnerable: to let down your defences and accept that you need another person. This lack of pretence is a valuable trait, and ultimately more endearing than the macho efforts others make to deny their childlike sides.

AMBITION

You have a strong sense of potential and an intense drive to accomplish difficult things. The core of this is your ability to hold together the big goals and the daily efforts. Where other people’s hopes collapse when they encounter the tedium of the journey, you keep coming back. Oddly, it is actually your ability to endure feeling unheroic that counts. You know the power of working away solidly on what’s in front of you.

AGGRESSION

One part of your character is anger in all its forms: frustration, outrage – and when anger is suppressed – bitterness, grumpiness, and bodily aches. Fundamentally, frustration comes from hope: you get upset because you expect your life will be more than a valley of tears. One way to deny aggression is to direct it inwards, as self-criticism. But you’re at your best when you acknowledge anger, and act it out clearly and in a focussed way, with honour.

EXHIBITIONISM

There’s a strand in your nature which loves making an impression – perhaps with your clothes, or conversation, or in a self-revealing blog or a novel. You like to dramatise yourself, to pose as a unique, perhaps mysterious person, to joke or exaggerate your part in adventures. Though you might more than once have been called a show off, it is actually a generous tendency: you want to please and entertain others. It could be the start of good teaching and leadership.

What would you be the deity of?

The Temple

You are steadfast, kind and dependable, and have a habit of making people feel safe when they talk to you. They gravitate towards you because of the patience and calm you exude, and can trust you implicitly. You have a knack for saying the right thing, and have learned to bear your pain with a tolerance and grace that goes unnoticed by many but seen by the important few. You're allergic to drama and conflict, but know when and where to stand your ground. You tend not to be reckless and hasty, as the times you have done so in the past caused pain. You are prone to embarrassment - when you feel you've blundered the shame is almost overwhelming. Even though you may not see your own worth as clearly as you should, those around you are determined to stay with you because you make them feel like they're at home, accepted unconditionally. The best kind of person. As a deity, you're the god of stability, of healing, of sanctuary and safe harbour, of faithfulness and commitment, of mountains, of fields, of growing old, of effort and humble reward, of autumn, of prosperity and kindness of spirit.

WHAT WERE YOUR HANDS MEANT TO DO?

create

Maybe there aren’t any gods, but you can build your own world. You are driven, but for what? For something to calm the storm in your mind, or to shake the world with your own thunder? Endlessly searching for answers only our own reflections can tell you. You long for people in eras after this to see the scratches you left, and you love the ones left from ages past. When you taste spice, you savor it. You want to climb to the top of the world and scream ‘I was here!’. You are wind, its endless flow, its eternity, the way it turns itself into song.

#about spood #yeah that seems about right!

Literally every other spider-person: I only became a hero when it started to affect me personally, I didn’t care before that, now I want to help everyone I can

Gabe p damn soon here: I became a hero because people I’d never met were dying in the thousands for no fucking reason and I already cared. I just stopped being paralyzed by my own fear

physical characteristics !

One toonie-sized brown mole, removed during childhood and replaced by a much bigger scar. MOST NOTICEABLE FEATURE(S).

They can hide the eyes behind sunglasses, but hiding the ears is more difficult.

childhood !

PLACE OF BIRTH. A now-repurposed hospital. HOMETOWN. Calgary, Alberta, Canada BIRTH WEIGHT. 8 lbs BIRTH HEIGHT. Unmeasured FIRST WORDS. “Oh shit”- picked up from their mother, who had a bit of a foul mouth after dropping things.

SIBLINGS. No biological siblings PARENTS. Erika Hankins and Marcel de Bruis (third cousins) PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT. Mostly negative. Minimal on their mother’s part due to untreated illness that left her sleeping 90% of the time until just recently, and minimal but vastly negative from their father, who had no concept of a healthy family beyond “don’t hit your kids”.

adult life !

OCCUPATION. Due to their mutations (which have been repeatedly mistaken for elective body mods) and pre-existing neurodivergence, Gabe is unemployed and has been for seven years. They’ve thrown themself into various hobbies and live on welfare. CURRENT RESIDENCE. With their mother and father in their childhood home, and unable to move out. CLOSE FRIENDS. Basically none in person, but is close with several online friends- or at least hopes so. They’re not sure if being close with your pets counts as a real friendship. RELATIONSHIP STATUS. Single.

They gave up.
