am i the asshole?

Life isn’t always black and white. Sometimes it’s hard to tell who’s really at fault, and no one wants to believe they’re the bad guy. Sometimes you need an outside opinion. Or several.

Tell your side of the story and crowdsource an honest answer to the age old question; Am I The Asshole?

with your character explaining a situation where they might have been the asshole.

Why can't it?

[fightugly]

Things are more complicated now. We both have other people in our lives.

[(Anonymous)]

You mean V?
V barely counts as a person.

[fightugly]

He's still a big part of his life.

[(Anonymous)]

Venom wants us to be together more than anyone. He’s, like, weirdly into you.

Venom wants you two to be together**

Not us*****

Who is us???

[fightugly]

What about Dan?

[(Anonymous)]

Well, you know V doesn’t like Dan.

[fightugly]

I do. I don't want him to get hurt in all this.

[(Anonymous)]

Annie…

Dan’s a big boy.

[fightugly]

I know, but I'd still be responsible.

[frenchkissed]

Like you were responsible for my heartbreak? Or was that all on me?

[fightugly]

We were both part of that. I just don't want to hurt someone like that again.

[frenchkissed]

Here’s the thing, though:

I don’t believe you.

[fightugly]

You don't believe what?

[frenchkissed]

I dunno. It’s just— I don’t think it’s Dan.

I think I fucked up. I know I fucked up. And you’re afraid to trust me again.

[fightugly]

Eddie... after all that's happened since, I do trust you. With my life.

[frenchkissed]

We’re talking about your heart, Annie, not your life. Do you trust me with your heart?

[fightugly]

I know what you did wasn't meant to hurt me and I know you wouldn't do it again, so...

Yes.

[frenchkissed]

Then fuck Dan, man.

Not literally.

…Unless you want to. That’s your business.

But. Who cares. Heartbreak isn’t the end of the world. You dumped me and I turned out fine. ( not helping his case. ) Dan’s got a whole hospital to run. Dump him and he’ll be fine.

[fightugly]

That's it, just dump him and that's that?

[frenchkissed]

It’s pretty easy, apparently.

[fightugly]

It's not and you know it.

But there is a bond we share that I could never have with Dan.

[frenchkissed]

Did that bond form before or after we shared a parasite and made out in the woods?

( a ripple through his body says venom didn’t like that. )

Sorry, sorry. Not a parasite.

[fightugly]

Knowing what that feels like is something he'll never understand.

Do you still even love me?

[frenchkissed]

I never stopped loving you.

...

You know that, right?
