Selina Meyer Angst Alphabet

A = Anger (what are they like when they’re angry?)

Selina likes to throw things, fling things off tables, etc. She hardly ever aims at anyone or anything while doing this, but it’s best not to be too close anyway.

B = Break Up (if they had to, how would they break up with you?)

She’d either just completely ghost you or set up something very formal and almost scripted to make sure you knew this had to be the end of things.

C = Cry (how often do they cry? do they cry over little things?)

She cries an average amount, probably still not as much as she should though. She bottles it up until it comes out as anger sometimes.

D = Debt (how do they make it up to you when they’ve done something wrong?)

She’ll leave you a gift of something she knows you enjoy and don’t often get for yourself, and it’ll come with a note. A simple sorry, or please forgive me.

E = Entrapment (how would they react to you being kidnapped?)

She’d go into full freak out mode. She’d have her staff giving her updates constantly and be a nervous wreck until there was news and she had a way to get you back safely.

F = Fear (how badly do they fear losing you? do they fear for you somehow losing them?)

She definitely fears losing you, as things always tend to go wrong for her, but she tries not to let it get to the forefront of her mind.

G = Grief (if you were to die, how would they react?)

She’d be the one to pay for your funeral. She’d absolutely insist upon it. She’d wear black for months and think about you constantly in her her downtime.

H = Heartbreak (what would it take to break their heart?)

Telling her that you can’t play second fiddle to her career. She wouldn’t know what to do, and that would definitely break her.

I = Insensitive (how do they act when they know they’ve said something that upset you?)

She’ll stew with her words on her own for a while before coming to apologize. She wants to just undo it, but she knows it’s not that simple.

J = Jerk (when can they tell you’re mad at them? do either of you resort to name calling?)

You both resort to name calling at times. She brings it out in you. You typically are able to laugh about it later.

K = Knife (how do they feel about hurting others? physically or emotionally?)

Emotionally, she certainly doesn’t mind, as long as they’ve done something to deserve it, but she isn’t someone who’d hurt someone physically, at least not on purpose and she does feel guilty about doing it on accident.

L = Liar (are they a good liar? how often do they lie to you?)

She’s a great liar, comes with her line of work. She tries not to lie to you however, though even that isn’t always possible.

M = Maudlin (how do you cheer them up when they’re feeling sad?)

Run her a bath and light a nice candle. Give her a mini vacation at home and she’ll usually cheer right up.

N = Never (what would they do if they knew they could never be with you?)

She’d move on, simple as that. Though that doesn’t mean she wouldn’t still think of you and what could have been from time to time.

O = Oath (what happens when you break a promise? how do they take it?)

She usually takes it pretty well, unless it was something she was really looking forward to. She knows she really can’t be mad though because she’s been known to break more promises than you.

P = Pressure (how do they handle stress? how do you help them relax?)

She handles stress rather poorly, but that’s probably just because she has so damn much of it. You just have to take her aside and get her to focus on something else for a minute to help her get through it.

Q = Quiet (do they ever give you the silent treatment? how do they react when you give it to them?)

Selina is pretty much incapable of being silent and if you were to give the silent treatment her she likely wouldn’t even notice with everything else going on.

R = Rejection (how would they take it if you were to reject them?)

She’d be upset, but would shake it off quickly enough with a thousand other things to distract her.

S = Self Doubt (what are they insecure about?)

She’s insecure about many things. She actually has imposter syndrome, so it makes her always think that she’s not good enough and you’ll eventually see that and leave her.

T = Triangle (what would they do if they were caught in a love triangle with you? would they fight for you or give you up?)

Selina would fight, just to prove she can win. Even if she thought the other person was better for you, she’d enjoy the competition.

U = Unloved (what would you do to make sure they felt loved?)

Spend as much time with her as possible. With her schedule, even five minutes can be just the quality time she needs with you to feel cared for.

V = Vault (do they keep their emotions sealed tight, or do they let them out openly?)

A little of both actually. Most of her emotions she’s just fine putting on display in front of others, but some, like her feelings of insecurity, she keeps to herself or her alone time with you. She never wants people to see her too vulnerable.

W = Wound (how do they react when you’ve been injured?)

She’d demand you be taken for the best care and want to be kept constantly informed on how you were recovering until she can check on you herself.

X = X Lovers (what happens when they’re confronted with an ex of yours?)

Selina gets real defensive and shows off/brags. It usually doesn’t come off as well as she’d like it to, but it’s the only thing she can think to do when feeling threatened.

Y = Yell (how often do fights occur? how bad do they get?)

Semi-often, but they never usually last long, nor are they typically very serious.

Z = Zestless (what happens if you lose that initial spark with them?)

You’d part amicably, promise to remain friends/stay in touch, but eventually just stop talking altogether.
