the truth serum meme.


The Truth Serum Meme
The cliche and tired trope used to create conflict or acts of realization.

And congrats, now your character is inflicted by such a trope! Be it magic, drugs, or other means. Regardless of how, your character has lost the ability to lie or be dishonest.

Are you going to tell your childhood crush how you really feel? Or maybe tell your best friend about the double life you live? Perhaps this is a good time to admit to murder... hm.

  • Leave your character's name in the comment section.
  • Characters ask you a question, you must reply truthfully.
  • Have fun, no lying.

    When I was younger, my family was afraid of my abilities. I was taught the opposite for their comfort: complete control was the only answer, and through inaction I would master every worldly, physical response that sought to drag me down.

    For years I suffered, thinking it was the only choice. That I was flawed. Weak.

    And then one day I realized I'd been lied to— my strength was my grandfather's legacy, not a deficiency, not a curse. [A beat, tinged with a cold brand of bitterness:] I never listened to them again.
