okay so i know there’s a “desperation scale”, but i was thinking about a shame/embarrassment scale?? just to see the different types of desperate characters, idk. I made this thing:
1- absolutely shameless. Absently tells people they need to pee. Sometimes wets because it’s more convenient than finding a toilet, or because they’re too lazy to find one.
2- shameless. Doesn’t hesitate to tell people if they need to pee, and doesn’t hesitate to pee in weird places (ie in bottles, behind bushes, or even on the side of the road) if it’s more convenient than finding a bathroom. wouldn’t be embarrassed if they wet themselves.
3- unembarrassed. isn’t flustered by desperation. Wouldn’t be embarrassed if they wet themselves.
4- unabashed. Tells people they need to pee when the need gets inconvenient. Would be embarrassed for about 2 seconds if they wet themselves, then they would get over it.
5- mildly uncomfortable. Tells people when they need to pee only if they’re uncomfortable. Would relieve themselves in a weird place if they could. If they wet themselves, they’d be mildly embarrassed, but would recover after they cleaned up.
6- bashful. Would admit they have to pee when asked, but wouldn’t otherwise tell people unless they got desperate. Would probably pee in weird places if they were desperate, depending on the privacy of the place. Embarrassed when they wet themselves but makes an attempt to shrug it off. Still embarrassed when anyone brings it up in the future.
7- embarrassed. doesn’t really like to tell people when they have to pee, possibly defensive and will deny deny deny until it’s obvious they’re desperate. If they wet themselves, they try to play it off, get angry about it, or just get really embarrassed. Possible tearing up or angry outbursts.
8- really embarrassed. generally gets flustered if people ask them if they need to go (especially when they actually do). doesn’t like to say they have to go, but will admit they have to pee when pressed. Would only go somewhere other than a toilet if they were at their limit. Really embarrassed if they wet themselves, possibly tearing up.
9- really shy. doesn’t tell people they have to pee until they’re super desperate, and would only pee somewhere other than a toilet if they couldn’t hold it another moment. Gets really flustered and embarrassed if they wet themselves. Possible crying and apologizing.
10- super shy. literally no one will know they have to pee until they are either wetting themselves or on the verge of wetting themselves. will vehemently deny any questions asking if they need to go. Becomes humiliated when they wet themselves, most likely crying or avoiding anyone who saw them the rest of the day.
all the characteristics obviously don’t always match with each other, but I think it’s a general classification. which kind of characters do you guys like? I’m partial to 9 and 5 myself ovo
