becoming the Digimon Kaizer again

Losin' connection with the gods.
... But ya can't tell anyone!

[reversedestiny]

Darkra's response will be: "I'm afraid of being abandoned. I don't want to be alone, knowing that I wasn't wanted or needed."

[cantstopme]

... I'm really scared of drowning, even though I've got big brother's scale.

[evokingfool]

Failure.

[dragonspooker]

Luna Inverse.

[busstopsign]

Losing her again.

[floreatnoctem]

Losing them. Failing to protect them.

[midgarhorizon]

Being the last, and dying.

[pengeen]

I'm afraid of losing myself.

[childhero]

what am i scared of... that's not something i think of very often. maybe some people think i'm not scared of anything because i'm the one the triforce chose to give courage to, but theyre wrong. i'm just like anybody else. the dark used to scare me until my friend saria helped show me it isnt that scary. i used to be afraid of swimming until the zora taught me some tips. i used to be scared of jumping until kaepora gaebora taught me that sometimes you have to trust your heart and jump even when your eyes see nothing. being scared is normal and okay because everyone's scared sometimes. but what's important is that you don't let it stop you and learn how to move past it.

what are the fears i'm trying to work past now? i guess thats the real question here... i'm scared i'm not going to be able to help anyone, i guess. i'm scared i'm not going to be there in time, or i'm not going to be strong enough, fast enough, smart enough to save them. i dont want anyone to get hurt because of me. these are the things i'm most scared of right now.

[complementing]

Reliving my moment of death.

[nomnommom]

Being incapable of survival.

[fractus_animus]

AU!Minato's answer is a mixture in his head, all at once. :|a it's hard to pinpoint JUST ONE.

He's afraid of Thanatos; of himself, of losing control of it and innocents getting hurt. He's afraid of losing Minami and the rest of Strega like he did his parents. He's afraid of being pulled back into the experiments like at the Kirijo facility, where they shoved Shadows into the kids, and all manner of other things. Possibly the biggest fear might be that he eventually becomes like Takaya--a heartless killer.

[got_it_memorized]

Being forgotten. Again. I heard once that somebody only lives as long as the last person who remembers them, but what happens when the person you want to remember you the most... forgets? What if they never manage to remember? Then when you die are you already dead?

The hell am I even talking about this?

[chronomancer]

[Of all the times to tl;dr, Eridan, this is quite possibly the worst one. Your timing is atrocious.]

a me, the alpha, not just a doomed self
theyvve all died pretty horrific deaths, but i havvent

i mean
theyre me
they knoww the rules but
wwhat
if they didnt
wwhat if i wwasnt meant to manage time that wway

[hardknoxlife]

Guess it would be letting everyone down. I've got a lot riding on my shoulders and thinking I disappointed my higher ups in the department isn't exactly my cup of tea. Mister Sutcliff and Mister Spears and even Mister Slingby and Mister Humphries... they did a lot for me too. Don't think I'd ever be able to live with myself if I let them down or if I lost them and their trust if you know what I mean.

[justabignobody]

To fail to protect the things that matter. Again.

[firststep]

Losing everything that is "me". Or perhaps the possibility there really wasn't anything that was mine left to begin with.

Forgetting the people I've met and what I've experienced for myself and what I like. My own head keeps being overwritten over and over and over and I might not notice it and it's scary because then I might not ever know I've changed at all or I can't remember what changed. I don't want to forget.

I want to be "me" but even that is transient. And that is the scariest thing of all.

[capax_infiniti]

This tired old body wearing out before I manage to unlock the final door and save this universe.

[thebigsister]

[...my characters are incapable of not tl;dring, help me.]

...nothing?

I mean, what is there to be afraid of, here? If you die, you come back to life. If you get hurt, you heal. I would say I'm afraid of losing my freedom, but I already did that, and it's not... it's not like that's stopping me. I can't stop, if I stop then what am I going to do? Sit down and cry? He didn't... He did not die just so I could rot in a place like this. He died for my freedom, and I can't just... just curl up and be a little girl, afraid of the shadows in every corner. I'm not Little anymore, the splicers aren't trying to get me anymore. I'm strong... the strongest, I can fight back. I will fight back. I don't have him watching out for me, protecting me anymore. Shut up. I'm my own person. I'm not afraid. What's there to be afraid of? Sure, there are these... all these fears here, in my head. Drowning, burning, cheating, falling, dying, spiders... But... but they're theirs, not mine. I'm above that, I'm not the voices, I'm my own person. So. So there's nothing to be afraid of. They're afraid, but I'm not. Just because they're here, stuck in me, just because I can use them, it doesn't mean I'm them. I'm not my mother. I'm not what my mother wanted to make me. I'm my own person. I'm my own fucking person, shut your goddamn mouth already.

If... if I am me and not them, and I am, my fears would be mine, and not theirs. Fears... fears like becoming them. Like becoming what my mother wanted me to be, which I'm not. I'm not. I'm not a monster, I'm a person. But... becoming a monster would be something I am afraid of, becoming a monster would be to betray His legacy.

Yes, that. That is something I'm afraid of. Betraying my Father's legacy, becoming the kind of monster he fought and killed.

[myblueskies]

i guess that i am scared that the bad people are actually right. that the world really did end and everyone is dead. if it did end then this must be hell because heaven is really nice and alfredo is here. i guess that means i was bad... i'm scared that my friends will be hurt and that we will never ever escape, hell is meant to last forever isn't it? that all my friends here will be hurt again and again and i wont be able to stop it happening, because the bad people can do whatever they want to us.

i guess i'm scared that my friends from my world would come here, if it is hell. because they are all really nice and so should go to heaven and be with alfredo.
