Infinity Stones of Manipulation

#1 Post by umbletheheep » Fri Nov 29, 2019 3:56 pm

New Briefing Series - In comic book lore, the infinity stones represent ultimate power. If one person possesses them, then his every desire will be realized with a snap of his fingers. Learning how to weaponize other people’s emotions is a powerful tool that might even seem godlike to some. I'll be writing about six emotions to control over the next several weeks starting with greed next week. What do you think the six emotions are?

Greed, anger, fear, frivolous (a desire to do something funky), nihilism (giving up), cautious.

Ennui,
Catfishing,
Groot,
Rage Beyond All Reason,
and that scene from A New Hope where Luke switches off his targeting computer and you fight back the tears.

Hmmm, six emotions... six fundamental states of being that represent the full range of human experience... I think I can do that :-)

Irritated
Annoyed
Exasperated
Vexed
Miffed
Cheesed Off

That feeling you get when you open the fridge and only a thin glaze of milk remains

Needing to pee really badly
Megalomania
Hearing someone say that Picard isn't the best Star Trek Captain

Hmmm
Not to be argumentative... but I am not sure 'greed' is an emotion, despite it's common presence in these lists:

Here's mine:
Jealousy
Impatience
Fear
Loneliness
Pleasure
Hope
