make amends

Remember that terrible shit you did? Time to make it right. Ish.

Top Level with the start of your apology(ies). Public or private. In person or over txt.

Well That Was Awkward ↦ Maybe you’re nervous. Awe struck. Tongue tied. Just a little socially awkward. Whatever. This is going to be bumpy.
Total Catastrophe ↦ You fucked up so hard with this one there might not be any coming back from it.
Not Again ↦ You know this wasn’t the first time. This is kind of your MO.
Sorry Not Sorry ↦ Maybe you’re prideful. Maybe you really aren’t to blame. Either way, this only debatably qualifies as an apology at all.
Wildcard ↦ You know what you did.

Comment to see where their sorry song goes. Maybe it’s an apology you didn’t know you had coming, maybe it’s long overdue, completely unnecessary or anything else. Whether or not you’re feeling forgiving is up to you.

They had it coming.

[hundredmil]

[ 'They had it coming,' is what Nishiki says.

'Only the strong deserve to live,' is what his brother would say. He'd drag the arrow back out of the (failed, weak) dead person's throat with a sticky, thick noise that Okuyasu didn't really know the anatomy of but figured was caused by the rough, ribbed part of their esophagus that he could feel on the front of his own neck. Sometimes at night he'd hold his own throat and wonder why that, of all things, had barely left a scar on him. Everything else liked to mar his skin.

'They had it coming.' Okuyasu's not often still, but he is right now. He's staring at the bodies - two of them, limp, at weird angles. Looks like a struggle, he thinks with a wild certainty that comes less from watching crime shows on tv and more from direct experience with what someone fighting back but losing looks like.

His chest feels sorta tight, and when he breathes it's almost like an arrow's blocking the air. ] Y-yeah? Did they-- were they tryin' to kill you first?

[ He probably shouldn't lead the witness with his questioning here, but Okuyasu can't take his eyes off the bodies and he definitely can't think far enough ahead to plan a single thing. ]

Sorry if I'm too hard on you. I just think so highly of you.

I know I messed up your meal. I'm just a novice cook, after all, but I know you put a lot of work into what you make. I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry! I thought the door was closed!

[horticulturalist]

1. I'm sorry I said that was a stupid idea. I still think it's a stupid idea but I'm sorry I was the who said it.

2. I'm sorry, I'm not that kind of super hero. Or any kind of hero really.

3. Remember when I stole a lab coat and told everyone I was a doctor and almost operated on that girl? I'm not going to say there was anyone there more qualified to do it than me but. Sorry about all that.

4. I'm sorry I fell asleep at the wheel again but I don't think you're going to reinstate my driving privileges, are you?

[manipulatestime]

So what kind of superhero are you?

bucky barnes, mcu.

[freights]

You'd have done the same goddamned thing.

[horticulturalist]

Was it cowardly?
Then you're probably right.

Number Five | The Umbrella Academy [Netflix]

[manipulatestime]

Sorry? What do I have to be sorry for?

[likes_sequins]

[ Is it just you, or is that a judgemental stare being sent in your general direction?

It certainly couldn't be that Five had something to apologize for.

Definitely nothing having to do with calling his brother an ape. Or another brother a pukebag. Or... well. Any of the number of things he's called any of his many brothers.

No, no. Far be it from her to cast judgement... ]

[dennis_murdoc]

I don't even know where to begin.

tachibana tetsu | yakuza 0

[irongrip]

I'm sorry for never...Never reciprocating in full.

Nile Freeman | The Old Guard

[babyguard]

I'm sorry I almost left.

Eddie Kaspbrak | IT

[graywater]

I'm sorry I froze.

[horticulturalist]

What was the other option?

Tsukasa Yugi | Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun

[deadwishes]

I don't really know what I'm supposed to be apologizing for? I don't think I did anything too bad. Hmm. What should I say I'm sorry for...huh...

Oh!

I'm sorry for not washing my hands and touching things and making them all sticky.

[There's a lot he should apologize for but he's not one to feel bad for anything he does.]

[fatankles]

Tsukasa-kun... Did Nanamine-senpai scold you for that?

[ Still, that can't be the only thing he's sorry for... Or maybe it is? Nene can't grasp Tsukasa's thought process most of the time. ]

Jason Todd | DC comics

[red_hoods]

Whoops.

[bubblegumwitch]

Sure don't sound very sorry there, pal.

Jotaro Kujo | Jojo's Bizarre Adventure | info/permissions in journal

[dolphinstan]

1.

Sorry about last night. I was checking to see if you had a pulse.

2.

[ Cagey, regretting it but not willing to commit that to words yet: ] Did I scare you?

Matthew Rothbart - Werewolf OC - OTA

[herewolf]

Can I make it up to you somehow?

[scarlet_devil]

1. I'm sorry I turned them, but I didn't have a choice. Your loved one would have died for good, otherwise...

2. Forgive me for the fairy maid's stupidity. I shall punish her appropriately.

[adpacempertyrannidem]

No need. I'm sure I startled her, my dear.

Wrench | Fargo TV

[wwrench]

1. Mistaken identity. I was willing to let it go, but he acted like too much of an asshole.

2. I didn't mean to imply the food wasn't any good. I just had no interest in finding out.

3. Take it as a lesson not to walk into my signing space when he and I are having an argument. It wasn't even a punch, really. If I ever punch you, you'll know it.

2.

[ladysilence]

Was it the fact that I mentioned moose fat, or are you just generally suspicious of my cooking skills?

Shigure | Fire Emblem: Fates | OTA

[shigure]

I'm truly sorry. I was being selfish.

Nariko Lunae ☄ original ☄ OTA

[gunslingerqueen]

1. Can we skip to the part where you actually tell me why you're upset, and I know what I'm sucking up for?

2. [Said begrudgingly, in a tone that says she feels justified in allowing it to happen in the first place:] Sorry, but forgetting me was part of the deal, I didn't really get a choice in the matter.

3. Apologies for not ramming my fist through your ribs.

4. I ... Really, I'm sorry! Please, believe me.

Willow Rosenberg | Buffy the Vampire Slayer | OTA

[frogfear]

Sorry about that whole "trying to destroy the world" thing...

[notquiteimaginarysis]

Oh.

[Yeah, Dawn's not quite sure what to say to this. It's not like Willow's the only one with similar issues. So... she gets it?]

Brock Rumlow ☠️ MCU

[hydratrash]

It wasn't personal.

Hank Anderson | Detroit Become Human

[heavymetalgears]

Well That Was Awkward ↦ I... didn't mean to throw my drink in your face.

Total Catastrophe ↦ I shot you, that was... probably not the best idea.

Not Again ↦ I, uh... I'm drunk again.

Sorry Not Sorry ↦ Yeah, I'm drunk again!

Wildcard ↦ Well... Fuck.

hope you don't mind more with her!

[sweetestheart]

(Sorry Not Sorry)

Yeah, I kind of got that impression :')

E Nygma / The Riddler | DC | OTA

[ainissesthai]

A: I... should have found a different approach to the matter. The one I chose was... less than ideal.

B: Oh, do excuse me for the inconvenience. I did not account for your gross incompetence. How short-sighted of me.

a [I can change this if it doesn't work.]

[hobblepot]

...You think? [He purses his lips, arms crossed. But after tearing into his goons and a few upstart gang members looking to muscle in on his territory, Oswald, home again with a stiff drink in him, is at a place where he's willing to take Ed's apology in.

He seems genuinely sorry, which is enough to give Oswald pause. And despite his own temper and penchant for antagonizing others, he doesn't enjoy being at odds with a loved one. There's more than enough conflict out there, beyond the manor's gates, for anyone's liking.]

This mansion you now call home is a piece of Gotham's history and an heirloom that was passed down from generation to generation. My father cared for it well - and were he still alive today, there is no doubt in my mind that he'd have welcomed you under his roof as warmly as he did me, and the very family who ended his life. [He sighs softly through his nose.] ...Remember that the next time you have an opinion.

Jemma Simmons | Agents of SHIELD

[badgirlshenanigans]

[Sorry not sorry.]

I’m sorry it took four years but I had a very good reason.

[magicbox]

I'm sorry, but one of us needs to make the difficult decisions here.

Sara "Sprawl and Brawl" Walcott | City of Heroes

[slammer]

1. Said I was sorry about that car, but ain't that what insurance is for?

2. Sorry I left. Sorry for- a lotta things, really.

I didnt mean to leave so suddenly.....there are just some things i needed to do. And I wanted to keep you safe.
