Some possible ideas for prompts:
♥ First time
♥ First time in a while

i want to fuck you like an animal
Maybe...

You saw them from across the room

You've known them for years

But now you can't wait to claim them, all of them, as yours in the most animalistic way possible.


+++

Knotting is a popular sub-genre of fiction that has become popular recently. The genre gives canine-type characteristics to male characters wherein the penile shaft enlarges as he approaches his orgasm to tie both him and his partner together for up to twenty minutes. The knot provides both a way to claim, and in case of a situation where pregnancy is a possibility, prevents sperm from leaking out.

While this can include Alpha/Beta/Omega play, heats, and similar genres, this isn't entirely required for this meme. For those interested in even edgier play, including full-out bestiality, there are options.

Please remember that this meme deals with topics not everyone may be comfortable with. Respect each other, don't cause wank, and don't forget to please exactly what you're comfortable playing!

More information can be found here

- Post your character, along with any preferences.
- Either let others roll for an option or set up your own scene in the top comment.
- Be respectful, don't force kinks someone might not be interested in.

you can have my everything

betrothed | your families decided long ago that you would mate when the time came.
claimed | you claimed your mate before someone else could. you did them a favor really.
destined | you love each other deeply and you have both known, deep down, that this would happen.
heat | neither of you planned on this, but the heat caught you off guard.
pregnant | your mate is already with your child, but that isn't stopping you from claiming them over and over again. you could also be trying for a child.
wildcard | do you have something else you want to play out? make up your own scenario!

my whole existence is flawed

actual animal - your partner is a werewolf, always a little bit fuzzy, or an actual animal you want to use for your pleasure (or maybe you're being coerced?).
stolen - you know they're mated to someone else, but you don't care. they will be yours, even if you have to kill their current mate or use other means.given | your mate was given to you or bought in exchange for some skill or good you possessed. maybe you did it to rescue them, maybe your desires are more twisted than that.
breeding | you need to carry on your bloodline and they're just for breeding, nothing more.
groomed - you have raised this person to be your absolute, perfect mate. you have given them no other options but to succumb to you in the end.
wildcard | do you have something else you want to play out? make up your own scenario!

 Time at hand

Everyone has a timer imprinted on their wrist from the day they're born. It maybe a quirk of genetic engineering, it may be a technological implant, it might just be the way things have always been, that's up to you.

For the purposes of this meme there are two types of timers, Life and Love.

You can have one, you can have both, that's up to you too, you can have a different one in every thread, I'm not the boss of you! You can use the coin flip or you can just pick, or mix and match, be creative!

Life Timers

Time, quite literally, is money. You have a year on your timer, and on your 21st birthday, it starts counting down. Now, even if you can't spend the time before your clock starts (as it's locked until then) you can still earn it, save it up for when you need it.

Time can be traded from person to person directly, or by way of banks. But if that timer hits zero, that's it, lights out.

Of course, you can also be killed before it reaches zero, accidents happen, but that would just be a terrible waste of time, wouldn't it?

Some suggestions:

Old Time - Your family has always had time, there's no way you'll run out even if you live fifty lifetimes. What do you spend it on? Frivolities? Or do you help the less fortunate? Are you happy with your lot? Or do you long for something less predictable? Do you wear a century on your arm at a time as a status symbol? Or do you keep a per diem?

Running Out of Time - You have less than 24 hours left on your timer. What do you do with your last day? Do you try to get more time? Are you resigned to knowing you're going to die? Is this a tragedy or an accident? Or is it just how you're used to living?

Daylight Savings - You've suddenly come into a small fortune. Was it bequeathed to you by a dowager aunt? Did you win the lottery? Rob a bank? Most importantly: what are you going to do with your new-found riches?

Stopped Clock - Your timer has stopped, but you aren't dead. Do you try to find out what's going on? Do you make as much as you can, hoping that it doesn't start up again and go faster to make up for the delay?

Love Timers

Love timers are a little trickier, because they count down to the moment you meet your One True Love. Time on these cannot be passed from one person to another, they're locked that way.

Love timers are a little more flexible, though, because people change, circumstances change, and where you might have a year one morning, you could have hours by the end of the day.

Or, perhaps, your timer stops, and you realize that the person you were meant to be with has died. Maybe, sometime, it will re-set, maybe it won't. Maybe you meet someone and the two of you hit it off, you know they must be the one... except only one of your timers is approaching zero. Or neither is, which would be worse?

Some suggestions:

True Believer - you haven't bothered looking for love, because you know that when your timer hits zero, they'll just be there, that's how true love works. It's fate.

Nonbeliever - you never look at your timer, because you hate the thought that it dictates when you'll fall in love. That's up to you and nothing else!

Stopped Clock - One day your timer just stops without reaching zero. How do you cope knowing that the person who would have been your soulmate is no more?

Wrong Time - Your timers have both reached zero at the same time, you're obviously meant to be together. Only one problem: You're mortal enemies, or at the very least can't stand each other. Will you try to make it work anyway?

 WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE OUR CLOTHES OFF TO HAVE A GOOD TIME

clothed sex meme

Quick. You're getting too turned on and there's no time. You'll be discovered! Or you just don't want to have to deal with buttons. Or the raptors are coming and you have to hurry, hurry. You have to have sex and have no time to take your clothes off. That, or you just want your partner to leave their hat and books on while you have hot sex. No big deal.

The short and long of it: it's a clothed sex meme.

the second chance meme
 

You took them for granted, that's a fact. Maybe you were cruel, maybe you didn't notice them, or maybe you just didn't tell them how you really felt...or you didn't get the chance. You couldn't get yourself in line and you were stupid before and didn't realize what you felt for them. And now, they've moved on (or so it seems). You haven't. You feel like you lost your shot. It could be far, far too late for anyone!

You're faced with them once more. You've gotten one more chance. You've used it, too - you've just confessed flat out! It came out of your lips with no provocation. So what do you do now? Follow it up with more blabbering confessions? Try to be smooth and win them over? Apologize? Hug and kiss them...or steal them away?

What's more important, though, is how they respond.

Rules
+ Leave a top comment, preferences etc etc.
+ Your character has had their second chance to confess their true feelings to the characters who comment to them.
+ Go from there.

an amnesiac shipping meme

You have no idea who you are.

One day, you just woke up from the darkness, confused and alone. You barely remember your own name, much less why you're here...or where here is, even. Your own body is strange to you, and if you have some kind of power or ability, that must be frightening. Perhaps you're angry at everything so new and different, lost in this strange world you don't understand or know your own place in. Maybe you feel the need to hide away, lest you be crushed by everyone out there who is sure to hurt you.

You are so, so alone.

Only you're not. There is one person, one person who's found you and taken you in. They've shown you kindness, looking after you while you can barely look out for yourself. Out of the goodness of their heart, they've shown you things, taught you things. Most importantly, they're giving you a new sense of identity. And for that, you've begun to appreciate them. More than words can say, actually. You care for them so deeply that your heart hurts around them. Is that normal? What is this feeling? You can't imagine life without them, and leaving them- That's something you could never consider. Is this lov...

The word's on the tip of your tongue, but you can't figure it out, exactly. What you can figure out is that you want to give everything you can to the person who's done so much for them. You want to stay by their side and make them happy. You want to protect them at all costs.

So no one would blame you for getting confused when you see them with someone else or getting angry when you believe they're in danger. And certainly it's only natural for you to get frustrated when you want to tell them what you think of them, what they mean to you, and you can't figure out what to do. Perhaps following instincts will do?

One thing you know is that this bond and these emotions will never go away, not even when you learn who you are.

RULES

- This meme is for examining what happens when someone with no memories, potentially someone with powers or skills that could be dangerous at the very least, develops deep feelings for the person who's taken them in or is helping them realize their past. It can be played as awkward, adventurous, tragic, cracky, fluffy, truly romantic, or anything in between. You can play at the beginning, the part where emotions have strongly developed, or even when the amnesiac has regained their memories and must now deal with new feelings.
- Reply with your character and preferences. Mention if you'd like to play the amnesiac, the caretaker/help, or both.
- The role of caretaker does not have to always be beneficial. Maybe they caused this condition in the first place so the other character would be dependent, loving, and loyal towards them.
- Reply to others and play.

the scented candle meme

Candles, for as long as they have been used, have had many connotations. Romantic dinners, that spooky house in the middle of the woods with only one window lit, that light at the end of the tunnel… Sadly, electricity and the invention of light bulbs have greatly decreased our dependency on them. What has been keeping such companies afloat in the modern century? The decorative and therapeutic side of them!

Strike a match, light the wick, and wait a moment for a scent to waft through the room.

Some scents are pungent like incense; others are sticky sweet, while some can fill a room with something light and fresh, or even make a space smell like a garden. It all depends upon the maker, what they use to make the scents, and your own personal preferences.

But wait~ these scents are not what they appear. Seems like whoever lights them gets affected a little more than usual…

directions

1. Comment with your character, series, preferences, etc. in the subject.
2. Roll a number between 1-11 with the RGN for a prompt.
3. Reply to other comments and play the scenario out!
4. Profit~!

prompts

1. CINNAMON—While it reminds many of yummy things, cinnamon can be a hot spice and can add some kick to anything, including your sex life. So go on, try something new.

2. FRENCH VANILLA—Oh la, la~ While French accents can be either sexy or cheesy, experimenting in a new location can be interesting. Shall you go to a hotel for a night, or be a little bolder and attempt something in the park? In the middle of the day?

3. ROSES—Ah, roses inspire so much, and all of it romantic. Speaking of which, you’re feeling like pulling out all the stops for your lover. Poetry, special chocolates, candlelight dinner, massages, and more…

4. PEPPERMINT—A refreshing scent, peppermint can clear out bad smells or remind you of wintry holidays. Speaking of which, you feel like experimenting… with ice, or maybe with something else that is sensory, like blindfolds, wax…

5. SUGAR COOKIES—Sweet and full of nostalgic memories, this candle inspires you to be just as sweet and loving… to the point you’re submissive and willing to do anything for your partner, even if you’re typically not the one to.

6. SANDALWOOD—With a soft and warm scent, sandalwood is wonderfully indulgent. For those who are typically strict, they will find themselves unable to resist temptations… and those who are already indulgent will become only more so.

7. COCONUT—Who can resist fun when you’re smelling coconuts and drinking fruity cocktails? Life is a party, and you should introduce some fun games into the bedroom. Like the gulls on the surf, let your imagination soar!

8. LAVENDER—Relaxing and soft, who wouldn’t want to spend some time in a flower field? If you just happen to make out in the sunshine as well, no one will mind.

9. ESPRESSO—Who can stay asleep when there is the scent of coffee in the air? But if you have someone in bed with you, you had better make it worth their while to be up at such an ungodly hour.

10. CHOCOLATE—Well, aren’t you sweet? Or maybe bitter? Those who find this will find their passions doing a one-eighty: the meek are suddenly bold, and the loud, passionate ones will be quiet and demure…

11. WILDCARD—Did we forget something? Want to roll again? Go for it!

The Sexual Healing Meme
aka the Smutty H/C Meme
aka the Healing Genitals Meme

They say love can conquer all ills and cure all broken people - the jury is still out on that, but enough people subscribe to the notion that it may have some merit. But what about sex? With the right affection behind it, can it be the elixar to heal traumas or mend angst? For this meme, it can be. No matter what your what your problem is, from daddy issues to being mind controlled to hating all humans or being just a jerk, all you need is sexual healing from the right person.

All in all? This is a shameless meme playing with the idea of "cured by love," extended into the infamous "cured by the magic cock/vagina" trope. Love it or hate it, it's prevalent in fiction, both fan and published. And sometimes, no lie, you just want to play it and not be judge for the pure shlock you know it to be. Here is the place; now is the time.

How to Play

- Comment with your character and preferences. Feel free to talk about your character's problems. You might also want to mention if your character is the one who needs to be healed or can do the healing. Or perhaps you and your thread partner can play two roughed up characters learning to trust again!
- Reply to others.
- Shameless smut. Shameless h/c. Shameless shame.

IT WAS THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT LOVE CONFESSION MEME

The heat of the moment showed in your eyes

You're either A) making out all hot and heavy or B) in the middle of doing the deed. And then, suddenly, three words.

"I love you."


Who said it? Did that come from you?

...oh. Well, this changes things, doesn't it?

RULES

- Comment with your character and preferences.
- Mention if your character is more likely to let those words loose or be confessed to; additionally, you might want to mention how they could respond. Or just play things fast and loose! Remember, playing both sides makes you more open!
- Thread it out.

PROMPTS

1. Sincere - You've been wanting to tell them how you felt for a long time, and now felt like the perfect time to do so.
2. Too Impassioned - You couldn't stop yourself because everything felt so right.
3. Accidental - You totally didn't mean to say that, but now you've done fucked up.
4. What They Want to Hear - Your partner will love it even if you don't, and you want them to be happy.
5. Manipulative - An outstretch of 4, but with more sinister purposes. You want to use it against them to get what you want.

❝ᴍʏ ᴡᴏᴍᴀɴ, ᴍɪɴᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴍɪɴᴇ ᴀʟᴏɴᴇ❞

In nature, animals can be territorial. This makes sense; it's a cutthroat world, and you have to keep what's yours just to survive. They keep a close watch on lands, food supplies, and even sometimes mates. Pet owners can tell you that this instinct doesn't just go away - try getting that chew toy from your poodle. But what about people? Aren't we just animals, too? But for us, possessiveness is not a good social trait to have. That's understandable. Nobody likes someone so hung up on owning things. Especially not owning their lovers, since you can't simply have another person like that.

Yet even the most benign, most monkish of souls have possessive streaks at some moments when it comes to the person they're sleeping with. It's only natural. Usually, it comes from jealousy. You like having what's yours (even if it's a cruel way to think about things, that's the reptile brain peeking through), and you'd want it to stay that way. That means you want to show up the competition and remind the object of your desires that you're the apple of their eye. Of course, possessiveness doesn't always come from jealousy. Some people are just very, very...how do we say it...protective of them and theirs. How can they help that they want to show that in intimate ways?

In relationships, possessiveness throughout isn't healthy; still, a little bit of it can be actually arousing, especially in the bedroom. Today, the hotel is awakening that side of characters: the part that wants to screw their partner mercilessly to show them that they are the ones to touch them, to love them, to fuck them.

But my character isn't the possessive type, you say? Really? Really? As we've mentioned before, even the most kindhearted types feel it every once and a while. This meme never mentioned that it had to be a HUGE show of possession. It can even be a playful attempt in order to get their partner going or try a new kink in bed. Or, you could say the "influences" made them do it.

After all, there's plenty of prompts here to influence you.

HOW TO PLAY
- Comment with your character and preferences. You also may want to include if your character is more or less likely to be the possessive or jealous party, but please note that all characters have the potential to be that in this meme. Otherwise, you'd get a lot of passive pillow queen characters to be fawned over so be mindful of that.
- Reply to others!

PROMPTS
HOW
1. Induced Jealousy: Whether by taunting or misunderstanding, one partner is jealous and wants to make sure their lover knows that they're the worthy - and only - one.
2. Insecurity: There's no outside source here, only self-worth issues that cause a need for possession.
3. Pushed by the Other: "Man up!" "Show me you want me!" "Grow a pair!" You can only take so much.
4. Making up for Losses: You can't be together outside the bedroom, so you have to make up for it here and you want the bed to be your domain.
5. Rivalry: People of a certain age will remember a certain song about rivalries. The boy/girl is yours.
6. Necessity: You live in a society where you must show a certain amount of possessiveness over your lover.
7. Nature: Breeding and mating urges, oh my!
8. In the Mood: No particular reason, you woke up feeling like a lion in their terrain.
9. Hate You...but Don't Want Anyone Else to Have You: What it says on the tin.
10. Virginity: You want to claim what no one else has, and that will be you and you only.
11. Playfulness: All this is simply fun between the two of you.
12. Cruelty: You want to humiliate your partner by reminding them that you're the one in charge here.
13. WILDCARD.
HOW
1. Intense, desperate sex (not necessarily rough).
2. Rough sex.
3. Marking - either discreet or in places that could easily be seen.
4. Clothing (jewelry, lingerie, slutty clothing, and in some cases, collars and other trappings).
5. Reminding your partner that only you can bring them this much pleasure (overstimulation).
6. Public or semi-public sex.
7. Cheating, cuckholding, or netorare - essentially showing your lover that they may not be with you, but you're the one who gets them off.
8. Orgasm or pleasure denial.
9. Non-consensual.
10. Making them say who they belong to / dirty talk.

THE INOPPORTUNELY TIMED LOVE CONFESSION MEME
You have to tell this person how you feel. The need has been tugging at you FOREVER, and you know it's the right time. You absolutely have to do it, or you'll never live it down!...of course, you probably could have timed this better. You know, when you're not both involved in a giant battle, at a fancy dinner party, on a deadly mission, or about to be crowned royalty or married off in order to achieve world peace. Yes, some other time would have been ideal, but what the hey! Better now than ever, right?With any luck, they'll appreciate that gesture.

 the fake feelings turned real meme


There are lots of reasons why people would pretend to be in a relationship. If the fakery is mutual, they could be using each other to get their friends and family off their backs. Spies and detectives use marriage as a cover all the time. And what about those in a future dystopian world where your mate is selected for you if you don't choose. Wouldn't it be better if you chose someone you at least knew?

If the fakery isn't mutual...well, maybe your intentions were good. Maybe you were pretending to be with them because you didn't want them to feel bad. Or, more likely, you were using them to get at a greater goal - information, riches, a seat of power, anything they have access to.

Now it's time to dissolve this fake relationship, and now here's the rub: you've grown real feelings for the other person. What to do, what to do? Do you come clean? If you were using them, will they forgive you and take you back for real? If you were both in on the act, are the feelings mutual?

If it's not time to dissolve, there are other problems you could run into. Since you're not really a couple, you shouldn't mind them being in love with someone else...right?

the adorable and/or awkward
teenage ? )
first time make out meme!

Maybe you've saved the world or kickstarted the revolution, but you're still an teenager or a young person. Reaching out and touching somebody - and then touching them with your lips and hands going places that are not familial-friendly - is probably still new to you, if this isn't your first time. And it's gonna be awkward, no matter how much you dig the other person. Or maybe you're not a teenager, you've just had a life that doesn't involve much making out. You're busy, you're introverted, you're crazy. It happens. It's probably going to be awkward. Or maybe you're just an awkward person in general. Or you've got plenty of experience, but you're making out with someone who doesn't. Or you're making out with a teenage-

Never mind, too many "maybes." Let's get to the "definitelys."

There's going to be exploring, soft touches, accidental grabs, too much teeth, not enough lips or tongue, passion, desperate moments, attempts to be cool and composed, failures, confessions of emotions, and just adorable.

Definitely adorable. And maybe you'll get more than just second base...

...or not. Better focus on those lips, kiddo.

how do:

- comment with your character.
- comment to other characters.
- you can discuss any assumed cr you'd like to have, or just get to the make outs.
- make out.

the communications between times and worlds meme.
a shipping meme

How you began the communication doesn't matter. Maybe your letter got misplaced in the mail. Perhaps you wrote in a magic book and someone wrote back. What about the internet? Maybe your "letter" was a misdirected email. Whatever the case is, you've begun writing to this total stranger.

But they're not a total stranger any more. You've begun to learn about them - or at least what they tell you about themselves - and you almost feel as if you know them personally. Your correspondences become the highlights of your day. No one you know is quite as fun to talk to, nor do they understand you nearly as much. In fact...

...no, there's no getting around it. You're beginning to have feelings for your pen pal, despite the fact that you've probably never seen them. All you know them on is their words, but isn't that more true than appearances, in some cases? Your emotions for them are strong, whatever those emotions are, and you want to meet them. Could they feel the same way about you? If you ask, they may tell you as much. Then there's nothing to stop you from finally meeting and being together, right?

Well, except for the fact that this whole time, you've been writing to someone who's in a completely different time and world than you.

RULES
- This is a shipping meme with a twist: the people involved have never actually met and talk through written correspondence. Their relationship grows through that.
- This meme is specially designed for cross-canon shipping.
- All threads, except those using prompts 6 and 7, assume that characters are communicating through their writing. The fun is showing how they'd express their feelings through words, without body language that usually exists in memes.
- Yes, some characters would lie. You can play with that, too.
- Comment with your character and preferences.
- Reply to others.
 
(SORT OF) PROMPTS
1. Getting to know your pen pal.
2. The relationship deepens, talking about the good and the bad.
3. They're the only one you can talk to about these things.
4. Confessions through the written word.
5. Planning on how to meet - is there anything you can do to bridge the gap?
6. Finally meeting in person - excitement all around.
7. They're not exactly what they said they were. Do you still care for them?
8. First time - obligatory smut option. OR a dirty correspondence.

+1 hardcore, x100 guilt
Part of the appeal of the (under)age difference kink, as in legal-aged characters being involved with those that are underage, is how absolutely taboo and fucked up it is in most cultures. Romance is nice, but let's be honest; it's messed up, even if there is a romantic element. And that's what makes it fun. This meme is for nitty, gritty, not always pretty side of underage. You can play the psychological angles of both sides, whether their actions makes the older party tormented for their decision, and all the filthy, dirty, guilty, and sexy facets this kink can offer.

But my character is a good dude and would never _____! Well, you can always say it's a moment of weakness, they didn't think, aliens made them do it, emotions made them do it - or say fuck it, it's a meme. Make them feel guilty about it later.

But my character is underage and I want them to be the older party. Age them up or play against someone younger.


+ Comment with your character. Include if your character is younger or older. Optionally, put their age.
+ Include the lowest age you're willing to play with.
+ Any other preferences you have should be added, too.

prompts


  1. guilty - You are a terrible, loathsome person. This is awful, you're awful, it shouldn't feel so awfully good.

  2. innocence - You shouldn't find their innocence and naivety as sexy as you do.

  3. punishment - How dare that child look so alluring? They need to be punished for making self-respecting people think bad things about them.

  4. over the moon - This younger person clearly thinks you hung the moon and stars. It's painfully obvious. Is that something you would take to your advantage...at least without a second thought?

  5. spanking - They're being a little brat. They deserve a whippin'. Where things will go afterwards, who could possibly know?

  6. cherry - Is it a surprise they're a virgin? Taking that away is now on your shoulders.

  7. mold - Such soft, nubile clay to mold into your perfect, most desired lover.

  8. better than them - The ones closer to their age? They're trash. Show them what true experience can do, and they'll be hooked on you.

  9. too sultry, too oblivious - They have no idea what they're doing to you - and how the innocence is an added turn on.

  10. overdeveloped - They look like an adult and it's hard to miss.

  11. underdeveloped - They markedly don't look like an adult, and that's what you like.

  12. sneaking about - This affair isn't the kind of thing you can put out in public, so you have to be careful and not get caught

  13. teaching - Sex isn't just known, its techniques are learned. And learning needs a teacher, of course.

  14. want you to have a good time - Might as well be a fun time for all if you're doing it.

  15. addicted - No matter how much guilt you feel, how disgusting you think you are, you just can't keep away.

  16. age ain't nothing but a number - You're from a species where age doesn't matter, as you're longlived or nearly ageless. Unfortunately, the rest of the world isn't the same.

  17. incest - Self-explanatory, though almost infinitely worse than anything else here.

  18. public - There's a chance to get caught, and that is dangerous with a capital D, but the thrill is too much.

  19. humiliation - You're never too young or too old to learn humility - or sexual humiliation.

  20. my young girlfriend/boyfriend - No shame here. You're owning your sins, if you even view them as such.

  21. unexpected - Usually, men are painted as the ones going after young girls or boys. But what about women?

  22. ___ of a friend - You're a parent, guardian, older sibling, or friend of one of their friends.

  23. daddy kink, mommy kink - Can you provide them with what they've never had?

  24. true "love" - You really love them. You can't...you can't help who you love. Your intentions are good, and that counts, right?

  25. skimpy clothing - Young people can get away with it; still, it's risky to wear around you

  26. student/teacher - Because this is obligatory.

  27. reminder - School uniforms. Making out under the bleachers. References you don't get. All reminders that you aren't the same age. Maybe that excites you.

  28. pressured - You don't want to do this, you really don't...they won't stop, they say they like you, you're beautiful.

  29. dominant minor - What if the younger is taking advantage of the older?

  30. chasing the youth fountain - Being with them makes you feel younger.

  31. romantic - You'll be gentle with them, because you at least have that going for you now.

  32. BDSM - They're too young to completely understand their own sexuality. More kink isn't a good idea.

  33. blackmail - Well, well, well, you wouldn't want this to come out, would you? You'd be shamed. You'd be ruined.

  34. non-con - No frills.

  35. guardian - You were supposed to take care of them and keep them out of harm's way. What the hell have you done?

  36. jealousy - They belong to you. Not those little losers making eyes at them.
  37.  
  38. anatomy lesson - It's innocent to teach them how puberty has changed their bodies.

  39. how low can you go - There's flirtation, there's chemistry, there's more, yet you're doing everything BUT penetrative sex. That counts for something.

  40. wait it out - To your credit, you're waiting until they're legal. Or trying to, but that only makes you want it more.

  41. you said you were older! - You only realized that you should have carded them when you're down and dirty.

  42. run away - To get away from those who would keep you apart, the two of you have run away together.

  43. pregnancy - They were old enough apparently, and now things have gone much too far. Will you continue even after they begin to show? Will you support them? Maybe it's your dream to see them barefoot and pregnant.

the gentle (loving) smut meme
It's February, the month of Valentine's Day - the month of love! And love oftentimes means softness, kindness, and attention to the one you care for. Loving sex is no exception. We have a lot of "fucking" memes here: mid-fuck, pre-fuck, post-fuck, so on and so forth. We don't, however, have a lot of making love memes.

And basically all of this has been an awkward segway into a gentle smut meme! No fucking here, just tender touching and lots of care.

"But my character is a huge jerk and/or has the emotional range of a braindead pet rock and/or only fucks like an animal in the sack," I hear you scream from the streets. Not to worry, there are plenty of prompts that can turn even the coldest heart to mush...or there's some negative ones, too. Besides, can't LOVE change anything? That's fancy talk for "it's a meme, go with it."

So break out the Al Green and rose petals...or don't. Because that stuff can be kind of cheesy.

P R O M P T S

  1. Growing Feelings: You're not in love yet, but the beginnings are there and this intimacy only makes it stronger.

  2. Moment of Weakness: The walls are down, for just a fleeting time, and you're taking solace in each other.

  3. Platonic: You love each other platonically - as friends, teammates, or other allies - yet you show it in an unconventional way.

  4. Actual Love: There's genuine, 100% love and relative devotion here manifested in flesh on flesh.

  5. Manipulation: You simply want them to think that you love them, and what better way than to act all gentle and kind in bed?

  6. To Win Them Over: Love is what they want, so it's what they'll get if it gets you on their good side.

  7. Thirsty for Your Touch: You've wanted them so badly, you can't help but be reverent.

  8. Foreplay: Foreplay is often skimmed over, but it can be better than the main course. Savor it...kiss those parts you usually simply thrust into.

  9. Desperate: The sex is a little rougher than this meme calls for, though it comes from a place of love. You're so desperate for them, so in love, that you cannot control yourself.

  10. Take It Slow: One party isn't so sure about this, so you're being gentle and keeping things easy.

  11. Injured/Ill: You can't be rough today. Doctor's orders!

  12. Rescue Sex: You saved them, now let them save you.

  13. Childhood Love Matured: You cared for each other as children; now you'll show your affection in ways children cannot.

  14. Ego Boost You want them to know they're the best, even if they don't feel like it. You have eyes only for them.

  15. Focus All on You: It's time for a treat, and you want to be all give and no take.

  16. Parting: You're leaving - for a long time or a short while - and you two want to spend a last time together.

  17. Return: Finally, you and your lover are back together. Show each other how you missed this.

  18. Making Up: Fighting is usually no fun, but making up afterwards? That is.

  19. Teaching: Your lessons come with love; just because you're more experienced doesn't mean you look down on them.

  20. Gratitude: They really appreciate what you've done for them. Really, really

  21. Not Like Them: One of you has had bad experiences in the past, and the other wants to show them that they're not at all like the rest.

  22. Old Couple: You've been together for a long time and you know what you like.

  23. First Time: In contrast, this is your first time together (or first time, full stop period the end), so you're trying to figure things out.

  24. After Confession: The confession of feelings can give a whole new rush to being together.

  25. You Mean So Much to Me: Words can't describe how you feel about them. Maybe actions can?

  26. Rose Petals and Al Green: Because some people do like that kind of stuff, you know.

  27. CHOOSE YOUR OWN

As children, it seems we get along much better than we ever can as adults. Everyone is a friend, everything is an adventure. We can be close, and it's like those halcyon days will never end. Still, even as children, there as some people we're closer to and care more for than others.

What if that connection grew as we did, and when we are older becomes something more...mature? This isn't a childhood attraction anymore. You've both grown and now you have grown needs.

Will you indulge it, those sweet or not-so-sweet memories making this rendezvous all the sweeter?

  5. They're Like a Sister or Brother: Closeness meant that each of you viewed the other as nothing more than a completely asexual being, like a sibling. What's changed?

  32.  
  33. Barely Pubescent: Technically, you're not one hundred percent grown up yet, but you have grown up needs and want to see what this whole "sex" thing is about. And who better to try it out with someone you're close to, anyway?

❄ it's quiet and the snow's beautiful tonight → a winter open meme

‧ responders roll for weather + scenario and get to threading
‧ ???
‧ profit

snowfall;

stage i; none, streets are already blanketed in white.
stage ii; very light and intermittent.
stage iii; light - moderate. lasts longer periods.
stage iv; continuous, heavy snowfall.
stage v; the hardest of cores - blizzards, snowstorms, you name it.

scenarios;

① fuck the police, this is the best time for a walk. hope you've got a nice thick coat on.

② stranded in the buttcrack of nowheresville? weren't you watching the time? now you've gone and missed that last bus out of there. or maybe you're lost, somehow. what do?

③ literally chilling, in this weather, is quite easy to do. sitting around relaxing in it is a wee more difficult, but sometimes much more enjoyable, especially if shelter can be found. the snow is beautiful to watch, after all.

④ the weather's not going to stop you. your snow fort's packed full of ammo and ready to go. those aren't snow angels over there; they mark where the poor souls you've downed have fallen. be careful with that snowman's head!!

⑤ you're about fifty miles from civilization but there's a roof over your head, so never mind the chilly draught, right? right. you mightn't be the only one lucky enough to stumble upon this little shelter, though. remember to share the blanket.

⑥ everyone stuck outside should be jelly. you've got a fireplace and hot cocoa and damn if it isn't awesome. a heater's not quite so romantic, but it'd do. there'd better be a backup generator in case the power trips.

You're an angel. Not metaphorically, not in the "you're so sweet" way; you're a literal angel - ethereal energy form, wings, and all. But you're not just any sort of angel. You're a guardian angel. Guardian angels are a caste, or choir, created with the sole purpose of protecting those they're assigned to. Each angel is created specifically for the person they guard, with a few exceptions. The only thing you're programed to know is duty.

Naturally, being invested in your charge is expected. What if your feelings for them veer away from "dutiful" into "fondness" and then...something else? Angels aren't supposed to know love, at least not in the way those in the living realm do. Still, nothing is as certain as it used to be, and you're not so sure of your purpose. All you know is that you want to keep your charge safe.

Can you guarantee that, now?

 

How to Play

  • Comment with your character and preferences.

  • Mention if you'd rather play the guardian angel or the guarded.

  • Tag others.

  • Use the RNG to determine your fate.



Prompts

  1. Watching: You've been watching this person as long as both they and you have been in this world. Maybe over years, maybe suddenly, things aren't the same when you look at them.

  2. Guilt: You realized that these pesky emotions are growing and you know this is against everything you know to be true. Your kind cannot love, and even if you could, this is wrong. You have known this person their entire life and thinking of them as more is unacceptable.

  3. Terrible Angel: You're not angelic at all and fail neatly at almost all the benchmarks, but when it comes to the one you guard, you don't folly.

  4. Righteous Fury: Usually, angels must be removed and impassive. You see your charge mistreated, though, and you lose control.

  5. Relegated to Guardian Angelhood: You used to be much more important, of a greater choir of angel. Then, you screwed up and got pushed down into the ranks of guardian angel. It would be easy to be bitter towards your charge. You aren't, for some reason.

  6. Can't Be Seen: The person you care for the most can't see you. It's typical angel protocol, yet you can't help but want to make yourself noticeable.

  7. Affecting Your Work: Your growing and sometimes erratic emotions make your job harder. You're getting sloppy. You may even allow your charge to be hurt or allow yourself to be conspicuous.

  8. Jealousy: You saw your charge with someone else and it...it really ruffled your feathers. Maybe you lost your cool. Hopefully, that won't mean bad mojo for the other person involved. No one would be any wiser if you made their head more attractive to bird droppings, though.

  9. Kiss: Can you kiss someone when you technically have no lips? They might just feel a pleasant breeze; still, you're kissing them, and this is...nice.

  10. How They'd Like You to Look: You've decided to make yourself known to them, and you want your appearance to be to their liking.

  11. Inhabiting the Vessel They Love: A bit more sinister than the above, but also somewhat practical. They already love this body, anyway.

  12. Revealing Yourself: You're taking the big step and coming into their life as an actual, tangible presence. Of course, "I'm your guardian angel" rarely gets the response you hope.

  13. Stay with You: You promise that you'll stay by their side always, now as a physical companion.

  14. Confessions: No matter the costs, you're revealing your true feelings.

  15. Deciding to be More: It's dangerous, it's unheard of; however, both of you want to become more than just angel and charge.

  16. Intimacy Without a Corporeal Form: They know you're there even when you're not in human form, and they want to touch you. This can be a smut option, but it doesn't have to be.

  17. Intimacy With a Corporeal Form: You're beginning to learn what it's like to be intimate with them while you're in this new form. Again, this can be a smut option, but it doesn't have to be.

  18. Wings: Letting someone touch your wings is the ultimate show of trust and, in angel terms, one of the closest things you have to sexuality.

  19. Called to the Mat: Your higher-ups have learned of your sins. Now, you're on trial. Will you deny your charge?

  20. Not Officially Yours: Problem number one: you're in love. Problem number two: it's with some other angel's charge.

  21. Second Chance: As previously stated, most guardian angels are created for that one special person. However, some angels whose charges have died young are allowed a second chance. Will this new person ever replace your old?

  22. Protection: Now is time to do the guarding - by any means necessary, especially now, after realizing just what your charge means to you.

  23. Fallen: Because of your sins, you've lost favor. You've been stripped of your heavenly grace and you've fallen.

  24. Immortal: You must deal with the implications that your charge will die and you will be sent on to a new heavenly job.

  25. Failed: You didn't do enough. You let yourself slip, and now your charge is dying. They were more than just a charge, so you must do what you can to let their soul pass on in the most peaceful manner possible. But can you let go?

  26. CHOOSE YOUR OWN

the death of the beloved meme

All the moments you've spent with the person you love - or at least feel complicatedly towards-, all the smiles and the touches or the arguments and the glares...they all fade to ash, now. You'll have to commit them to memory, though, because those events will never occur again. That person you care for most is dying, dying right in front of you - perhaps even dying in your arms. It could be sudden and violent; on the other hand, it could be something you both knew was coming after a long bout with an illness.

Their fate is sealed. What's left is how you respond. Will you fall apart? Promise revenge? No one would look down on you if you mourn the fact that you were never able to tell them how you really.

RULES
- Comment with your character and your preferences. Mention if you'd prefer playing the dying, the bereaved, or either.
- Comment to others

HOW
1. Killed because of revenge or because they were close to you.
2. Slain in battle.
3. An injury getting much worse.
4. Later stages of illness.
5. Accidental.
6. Death by their own hands.
7. Death by your hands.
8. Killed while they were trying to save you.
9. Repeat. This has happened to you before.
10. Wildcard / Other.

RESPONSE
1. You hold them in your arms.
2. You lose your composure, begging them not to go.
3. You swear revenge.
4. You go berserk. Everyone in your way should watch out.
5. They'd changed you, so you have to swear to honor their request of no more bloodshed.
6. You try to heal them.
7. They comfort you.
8. You have to confess how you feel before it's too late.
9. You promise you'll see them again.
10. You kiss them one last time.
11. You comfort them as they pass.
12. Blame yourself. Everyone around you dies.
13. Wildcard / Other.

THE FIRST LUST MEME
or the non-sexual characters get sexual meme

As much as our fanfictions would want us to think otherwise, a lot of characters just aren't overtly sexual in canon. They're too focused on saving the world, freeing the oppressed, avenging the world, having crippling anxiety or self-esteem issues, dealing with shyness, saving pure hearts, or being a cute and innocent person to worry about sex. Maybe they're from a culture that is purely logical or above fornication. Maybe they're hopelessly romantic and too naive - or maybe they have no interest in romance at all.

But sometimes, you just want them to fuck.

Before this, your character has been so stoic or so innocent or so uninterested in affairs of the flesh. Things are rapidly changing, though, and, for once, they're experiencing what lust really feels like. That, or aliens are making them do it. Or they've found the right person. Or they've finally gotten their powers under control. Or they just want to see what this whole "sex" deal is about and get it over with...and subsequently be unimpressed.

Whatever works. This memes is simply to get those characters who would usually never be in smutty situations into them, no shame. Sexual characters are welcome, too!

HOW TO PLAY

- Character. Preferences. The usual.
- If there are any specifics you'd like in a scene, mention that.
- As mentioned, sexual characters are completely welcome. Somebody has to pull others into debauchery, after all.
- Reply to others.
- There're no prompts. The whole prompt IS the meme itself.

① the spark's gone. you just don't feel the same way about them anymore.

② manipulation. you were using them the whole time, and it's time to come clean.

③ differences. it's normal to fight, but something about that last one hit you both hard. could this be the last straw?

④ cheating. maybe you slept with someone else... or you're in love with someone else. are they going to find out from you, or another way?

⑤ moving. because of your family, because of your new job, because it's your dream. you have priorities, and your relationship might not be at the top.

⑥ forbidden. you were never supposed to be together.

⑦ keep it physical. maybe the relationship didn't work out, but that doesn't mean you have to stop having sex. it's not like it means anything... right?

⑧ closure. no matter how long ago it ended, you're still not over it, and now they're back in your life. if you ever plan on moving on, you need to talk.

⑨ wild card. any other heartbreaking situation you can think of.

  the desperate sex smut meme

Sometimes, you need things. Food and water are the most obvious culprits, though there are necessities that aren't as obvious, like human contact - despite how much some of us grouse against it - or affirmation. Sex, however, isn't usually considered one of those necessities. Sometimes it sure as heck feels like it, though. While it may be the person themselves, your feelings toward them, your desire for the act of alone, or any number of factors, you want sex badly, and the result is desperate, blind sex.

"Desperate" here doesn't mean all the negative connotations that just anyone will do. Instead, it means you really, really want to be with the person your with, possibly more than anything else at that moment. It's not necessarily rough sex, though it can be. What it is - well, that's passionate, hungry, lustful, sweaty, needy, just...desperate. Hands in their hair, teeth against teeth desperate. There's no better word for it, really. You're letting go with them and fulfilling the hunger inside.

RULES

  • Comment with your character and preferences.
  • Others will respond to you.
  • You respond to others.
PROMPTS

  1. extreme love — Your desire for them comes from your love or affection for them. Your actions are just emotions turned to actions.
  2. limited time — You have to be intense and short, because you're in a jam for time.
  3. a new feeling of lust — You're not the type to be interested in sex. There's a first time for everything, though.
  4. life-affirming — We almost died! Let's reconnect to what's real and get over the shock.
  5. finally found that person — You've never been gung-ho about sleeping with anyone until you met them.
  6. finally found your match — Nobody could match your strength or passion before. You've found someone who can.
  7. waited so long — For some reason, you couldn't be with this person for quite a while, though you were waiting for them. Now is your chance.
  8. let it go — Conceal, don't feel. That's been your motto. But at this moment, you're losing yourself with someone else, your personality or your powers be damned.
  9. saw you with someone else (or) territorial — You're jealous and you have to get that interloper off your mind. What better way than to make sure what's yours is yours?
  10. public — You can't wait until you make it to somewhere private.
  11. taken — Both of you are with other people, and this is one of the few times you can be together.
  12. moment of weakness — You've let the mask slip. You've lost your cool. You've shown them how much you want them.
  13. emotional — Sex can be raw. Sex can lay bare things you never thought you'd show.
  14. aphrodisiac — The sex pollen/chemicals created by the shadow government/spanish fly made you do it! Or at least your body felt like you had to.
  15. insulted — You've been teased to your limit, whether they did it knowingly or not. It feels like they're questioning your masculinity/femininity and view you as a non-entity. Time to prove them wrong.
  16. feelings revealed — You've just learned what you mean to each other, and that makes you want to be with them even more.
  17. heat — You're experiencing some drive to mate, and only they will do.
  18. first time in a long time — You thought they'd never be back! You better make up for lost time.
  19. last time in a long time — They're going, and who knows when they'll be back? You better have one last hurrah and hope it lasts you.
  20. trying a fetish — One of you has always had a fetish or a kink, and the other is agreeing to indulge it. No wonder somebody's getting excited.
  21. sex to survive — Being told to fuck or die can light a fire under you.
  22. sex to reproduce — Does more enthusiastic sex help the fertilization process? It may not be scientifically sound, but it's worth a shot.
  23. hate sex — You want to rip them apart in every sense of the word.
  24. dry spell — It's been a while since your last time and you're getting overzealous at the prospect of ending that streak.

the end of my rope romantic tension meme

We've all seen it in fiction or witnessed it in real life - or been a part of it. A pair that's so attracted to each other ( or maybe clearly in love with each other) that it nearly creates a presence of its own. But, as of yet, they've not acted on this. They're dancing around the issue, one or both of them is ignorant despite EVERYONE ELSE knowing, or they're just the type to ignore all that guff. It's awkward, though, for everyone involved. And eventually...

...something's gotta give. Something's gotta burst.

Your character and whoever responds to you have had this sort of tension building up between you for a while now. Handwaved interaction and assumed CR are key here! It doesn't have to be your typical romcom or tsundere arguing couple. Cute little crushes, secret longings, and serious feelings all welcome. It can even be sexual tension rather than purely romantic. The characters have yet to explore anything - now, though, they have no choice since it's right there, unable to be avoided.

a hurt/comfort smut meme
 
 
 

Work. Sleep. Fight. Eat. War. Peace. Light. Dark. Stay - no, go. Leave, move, move, move.

It seems like our lives are nothing but movement at a breakneck speed, a whirling and twirling of both positive and negative. Whether we're good, whether we're evil, we're doing something and there's no getting off this sick cycle carousel. But we want to, and sometimes, every once in a while we can find our escape through someone else.

It's the first time - for you, for them, for both, for you together. In some time, perhaps, or maybe it isn't even the first time, it merely feels that way because it's so refreshing to you. Because you love them; at the very least, you care about them enough to want to not hurry things. You could care about what they can give you, and that's release and the ability to stop thinking of anything but this very moment. Not your duties. Not your adventure. Not even your wedding night, if that's what this is. For now, there's no parade, no appearances to keep up, no training to be done. After you are patched up from the day's business (in some cases, literally), you can focus on offering yourself to them, giving attention and pleasure and receiving it in kind...or only receiving, if you are more selfish and your partner more selfless.

You've had a rough time. The world is rough. Now, for this moment, there is only the two of you.

THE PARTITION SMUT MEME

Took 45 minutes to get all dressed up
We ain't even gonna make it to this club
Now my mascara runnin', red lipstick smudged


You're going somewhere - a party, an important function, a coronation, your wedding. That, or you're going to do something important. Address the masses. Go undercover. Dance at the ball. And, of course, going to the club is very important. Whatever the occasion, you're ready and you're dressed up to the nines. You also have a partner by your side.

...and that partner and you are getting incredibly handsy, even though there's a set agenda, here.

You've spent too much time getting ready and there's too big of a risk that you might be discovered. What if you ruin your clothes? What if you're obviously stinking of sex? Well, that may be the appeal for you, knowing that other people know. Passion could also be a factor, as well. You just need to be with them when they look this good.

Don't let your rendezvous be discovered. You could get exposed, especially if you're in transit, and that would be a big blowup, and nobody wants that! So keep it subtle, and don't let them Monica Lewinsky on your gown or suit. Be careful and have as much fun removing your clothes as you had putting them on. Then, look as pulled together as you possibly can when you finally get to where you need to be and no one will see you on your knees.

I have loved you for a thousand years...


Some say that if a pair of lovers die together in tragedy, they will get another chance when they are reborn. Even if the two of you keep losing each other, you'll get to meet again.

This meme is that meeting. For the first time? For the hundredth time? That much isn't clear. What is clear is that on this, your seeming first meeting -

Everything rushes back to you. Memories, emotion, and all the comes with it...including the memory of how you two died. Overwhelming, isn't it? Some people find it hard to accept, for good reason. What will you do? You can't just bring it up, they'll think you're crazy! Maybe you don't want to bring it up, as you refuse to believe it yourself. And even if you do believe it, that doesn't mean you have to embrace it. You're your own person, after all. You refuse to love someone merely because of who you were in the past.

Or maybe you can't help but let these feelings rise to the surface because they're too strong. No matter what, you can't repress it. In fact, the more you two meet and spend time together, the more you find yourself falling back into the old roles...and making the old mistakes. That isn't good, though; there's one more thing. One of you, when you first met, had a vision about how the two of you would die this time.

You can't let that happen. Not again.

  • Comment with your character and your preferences.
  • Feel free to do a modern AU of your character. Assumed CR and AUs are a must here.
  • Don't feel obligated to stick with first meetings. Play that the characters have known each other for a while, are trying to have a relationship while trying to be their own unique selves, not having a relationship because THE PAST DOESN'T DEFINE ME, or even trying to avoid death in an adventurous fashion!

...I'll love you for a thousand more.

sleeping with ghosts —

You can't help who you fall in love with. But what if the person you fall for is no longer a person? Perhaps they were, once; those days have gone. All that's left is a memory. Is that something you can put to rest, or will you keep them with you and away from their final resting place?

  • Comment with your character and preferences. Mention if you'd prefer to play the living, the dead, or either.
  • Reply to others. You can use the RNG or not, if you'd wish. Make up your own additional prompts, scenes, scenarios, and such.
  • Dead Lover — No wonder they have unfinished business with you. You were theirs in life, and they're not about to let you go.
  • Tethered to You — In life, you didn't know each other, but now their ghost is connected to you, and you to them.
  • The Sight — You're the only one who can see them, the only one in the world to them, now.
  • Haunted Home — There's something wrong with your house. Can you reclaim it? Do you want to get rid of your companion?
  • Peace to the Vengeful — All you wanted to do was do a kind deed and help them achieve peace, not become eternally grateful.
  • Remember — Both of you are bound and determined to find out who you were as a living mortal. The knowledge might tear you apart.
  • Different Time, Different Place — This ghost is of a person who's a bit...antiquated compared to you. Careful, they may want to court you. It certainly makes things awkward when they see how you dress.
  • Jealousy — Lights burst, glass cracks, and the whole place goes cold when someone with a pulse smiles at you.
  • Protection — You'll risk your afterlife for the one you love.
  • Confession — If you can communicate vocally, confessions are easy. If you can't talk, that's a whole other kettle of fish.
  • The Challenge of Intimacy — Ghost makes it look so easy. You want to reach out and touch them, but you can't always do that.
  • Manifestation — Your emotions have temporarily given you a physical form.
  • Keeping You Here — The living's affection keeps the dead in the mortal coil.
  • Decay — The longer they stay with you, the more of a violent wraith, disconnected from their past, they become.
  • Passing — You have to let them go, even if they don't want to.
  • Just Like Heaven — You'll work together to find a way to bring you back to life.
  • ANYTHING ELSE?

 To Protect the One You Love
a shipping meme

It's a dog eat dog world these days, or at least it seems like it. People have turned off their empathy and allow themselves to merely watch the world and the floundering of others as uninterested, cold bystanders.

...or the person you care for - love - the most.

There's someone like that for you. You'll put yourself in the line of fire for them because your love is that strong...even if you don't realize it yet. Or, maybe, if your definition of "love" is tolerating them more or hating them less than anyone else. It doesn't matter if you have to expose yourself to pain, to others, or to them.

Because even if you're not with them or will ever be with them in that way, some people are worth going up to bat for.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character and preferences.
  • MENTION IF YOU'D PREFER TO PLAY THE ONE BEING PROTECTED OR THE PROTECTOR. FOR BEST RESULTS, BE OPEN TO BOTH.
  • Feel free to play these prompts in media res or play the aftermath.
PROMPTS

  1. Physical: You have to protect them from a violence or an attack.
  2. Mental: They're being tortured with cruel words or subtle barbs that are putting them down, and you can't take it.
  3. From Themselves: With the way they're going, they'll destroy themselves. You have to stop it.
  4. From You: It's for their own good. You have to stay away from them, no matter how it hurts.
  5. Take It Too Far: Seeing them in danger has pushed you over the edge - you're hulking out and going crazy! It's up to the one you wanted to protect to pull you back.
  6. Abuse: Whether familial, societal, or from a significant other, they're in a bad spot and you want to get them out. Of course, it's more difficult that it seems.
  7. Outing Yourself: No one except the other person knew your feelings, but now, you're standing up from them and everyone will know, possibly ruining your reputation.
  8. Unexpected: Either you're a meek and mild slip of a thing no one would expect to stand up for something or you're so stoic and "uncaring" that your selflessness is a complete twist.
  9. Revelation: They didn't know your feelings for them. Well, confession?
  10. Sworn: You've promised to protect them longterm, either to yourself or to them.
  11. Bodyguard: Whether it's unofficial or in a professional context, you're their bodyguard. Falling in love is sticky.
  12. Cover Up: You're protecting them from society's gaze by pretending to be their significant other or even married to them. Hopefully, your real desires don't ruin this.
  13. Instinctive: You didn't even realize how you feel for them, but your drive to protect them has made you aware - especially when you jump into harm's way without a second thought.
  14. Jealous: They don't want to be around that sleaze, do they? You think you're protecting them, yet it's your jealousy coming through.
  15. Rescue: Dungeons, dragons, or thugs...this is a real, all out rescue mission! There's nothing that can get in your way.
  16. Sacrifice: For them, you'll do the ultimate. Your life is nothing compared to theirs, and you'll sacrifice yourself with no second thought whatsoever. But have you thought about how they'd feel?
  17. Repayment: They want to pay you back for all you've done.

the formal wear meme.

if your character is in this meme, their normal attire has been replaced with formal attire — a ball gown, a three-piece suit, a cocktail dress, what have you. did they plan this for a party or an event? or was this some sort of a bizarre clothes swap that occurred while they were fighting baddies off in a far-away jungle or running errands in nyc? don't ask, that's for you to answer.

THE SLAP-SLAP-FUCK MEME

When characters spend a lot of time bickering, it is all but inevitable that sooner or later one will interrupt the other in mid-rant by suddenly grabbing them and kissing them.The kissed one rarely resists, and usually responds wholeheartedly.

Usually this is triggered by their hostilities reaching a climax, followed by a moment where both stare at each other in combined confusion and shock, after which they dive into the kiss.

Either way, the kiss prompts both to realize that they've been in love all this time — the rationale being that they wouldn't argue so much if they didn't give a damn about each other. Normally results in some kind of permanent change in their relationship.

In this meme, we're taking that concept one step more.

Maybe you and this person have been at each others neck forever, in a sort of dance of belligerent sexual tension. On the other hand, you could be friends that get along swimmingly, but right now you're just irritated. Or it's something in between - or even obvious love. At any rate, you're in a will-they-won't-they relationship, with it being clear you care about the other...or at least it being clear to everyone around you. Get a room, you two.

Despite the meme name, no physical violence need be involved. Actually, real arguments need not be involved, either. One of the characters could be upset, crying, sarcastic, giving the other the silent treatment. There just needs to be tension that erupts into lip-on-lip contact...that leads to skin to skin contact. If you know what you mean.

So what brought you here? Jealousy? Anger at someone for being so reckless? Them ignoring you? Being angry you care so much about them? Whatever the case may be, it's looking less and less important. What does matter is where you go from here. Denial? Confessions...

Sex!

HOW TO PLAY

- Comment with your character and preferences.
- Every character is invited to come and play. Even if your character is the most coolest of cucumbers or the biggest loving moeblob of all time, there has to be something that would bring them here. Feel free to leave a few words that help you be accessible to cross-canon tagging.

Ahh, what a beautiful day. The sun is shining, the flying animals of your choice are making their noises, and the sky is, presumably, as blue as can be. Finally, a break from this awful weather! And you know what else? It's a perfect day for a picnic with your honey (or hopefully soon to be honey). There's nothing quite as romantic as a well-executed picnic, so if you want to make an impression or just have a good time, break out the food under the shade of a tree. The best part is that a picnic can be as unique as you two are: a beautiful spread on top of a blanket, burgers grabbed from the drive-through and eaten with your legs dangling from the backseat, or a heart meal of venison one of you hunted while you sit on the bodies of your enemies. All that's required is to enjoy the food and the peaceful time together.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character and preferences in the subject line. Ideas, other info, and anything else can go in the body. You might want to put if your character is the one surprised, the one who planned the picnic, the one being dragged here unwillingly and being a grumpy gus, etc.
  • Reply to others.
  • Feel be to be as serious, as fluffy, or as goofy as you'd like.

There are outliers, of course, but many societies have come to the point where nudity is a reserved affair. That's understandable though, isn't it? The naked body is like one big target, with all our most sensitive spots exposed in a most dangerous way. Maybe it's some kind of carryover from primitive times, but it's common practice to shield your body unless you're taking care of inescapable tasks, with someone you trust, or being intimate - with the last two often overlapping.

No matter if you're less than comfortable showing what you've been given or if it's next to normal with you, one situation is nearly universally awkward, however: getting naked for the first time in front of someone you intend on being intimate with. If social lubricant is involved, things may be different, yet otherwise, you may feel that uncertainty in the pit of your stomach. What if they don't like the way you look? What if they ask about your scar? They can say they love you, but does that mean your whole body.

Whether, the time has come to take that first step with this person, no matter what secrets about your body you're not sure you want to reveal or how confident you are with the situation. Now, you'll bare it all...

...and you won't be alone. You'll see them as they see you, which can be more comforting or less so.

HOW TO PLAY

Comment with your character and preferences in the subject. Any additional information goes in the comment.
This meme is definitely shipping and...somewhat smut-ish. Smut is likely to happen, but it's absolutely not required. The main purpose of this meme is to explore relationships and character's self-image, in addition to how they're perceived by others.
Reply to others.

PROMPTS

  1. smooth — This is old hat for you, and you make it seem like no big deal. The whole affair is smooth sailing on your end, and that confidence is alluring.
  2. tryhard — You're attempting to be way too cool or too sexy, and it comes off as fake.
  3. low self esteem — Suddenly, you're not feeling so great about your little pudge, your scrawny legs, your droopy...you know.
  4. secret to keep — Your significant other has never known about the scars you bear, your deformation, or anything else you may have kept close to the vest.
  5. not used to this — You're from a society that's so reserved, removing your clothes is almost exclusively for bathing only.
  6. holding your breath — You've been wanting to see them like this for so long, the anticipation's killing you!
  7. never seen anyone before — This isn't just your first time seeing them naked, it's your first time seeing anyone naked.
  8. shy — This is just way, way too embarrassing!
  9. everything that can go wrong — Your pant leg gets stuck. You trip over your underwear. That bra won't come off. You stare too long. You accidentally imply they look fat. Things aren't going as planned.
  10. hunger — Just looking at them makes you want them more.
  11. not impressed — ...wait, that's it? Really?
  12. romantic — It's the perfect moment. You're staring into each others' eyes and there are smiles and words of love. Candles optional.
  13. encouraging — They're clearly not confident about getting down to their skivvies, so a few kind words or actions could go a long way.
  14. helping — You'll remove each others' clothes. After all, what's better than helping out?
  15. accidental — You guys haven't made that step yet, but there's clearly sexual tension in the air. That won't be helped when one of you walks in on the other.

the fish out of water shipping meme
aka "the thor shipping meme" / cross-canon encouraged )
The main conceit of shipping memes, it seems, is that both characters exist in the same universe. But what about something that tosses that out the window for a minute, and lets you play with the implications of "crossover?" Here, you can play with someone from a different canon (or AU or radically different canonpoint) and enjoy shipping that's truly out of this world.

It can be hard enough being ejected from your own home - imagine being plucked away from your home world! This could be because of your own doing (say, you were banished for being too cocky), you were too evil or too ambitious to stay, or even due to an accident. Those temporal shifts can be a little much. Whether by design or by chaos, however, you end up in the same place...or, rather, a different place. Theoretically, this world could be very much like your own, with only a few minor changes, like a purple sky instead of a blue one or lion-demons instead of tiger-vampires. On the other hand, it could be completely different, anywhere from more technologically advanced or less so or even filled to the brim with bizarre creatures. They still use cars? What are those infernal beeping devices? Why does no one have feathers or gills? Needless to say, this could be overwhelming if you are possibly powerless and definitely alone.

But you're not alone. Someone, a native of this world, has ended up tangled into this whole affair with you, whether they want it or not. You can't turn that down. They're your only ally, your only anchor in this brand new world. Maybe, just maybe, they can show you a thing or two to help you back up on your feet. Or, best case scenario, back to your home! When you're out of the frying pan and into the fire, though, nothing is cut and dry. Everything about this world may not be so horrible - it may be fun, even - and this person you've ended up with, oh, they could be worse. In fact, you may be beginning to feel at home with them.

Remember. This is not your real home. You want to go back, don't you?

And what about the other party? Of course, you may be less than thrilled that you now are playing tour guide to what seems like a crazy person. Perhaps this was out of the kindness of your heart or you may be forced to play babysitter, but it all leads to you keeping an eye out on them. They have to be lying about all this! Sure, they may talk strange, unconsciously insult you, and act like the simplest things confuse them; that has to be an act!

...still, act or not, you're starting to see that there's more to them than their goofy ways and there's more to your feelings toward them than you thought.

how to play

  • This meme is inspired heavily by the first Thor movie and also a great deal by those romantic comedies where someone from the past goes into the future or vice versa.
  • Comment with your character and preferences. Don't leave your comment blank! Mention something about your character's world in the comment for the canon blind (ie, "ancient Greece" or "dystopia with kids killing kids - the Japanese version"). It doesn't have to be long, it can even be a few words! If you have any other ideas, include them.
  • Reply to others. Use the RNG - or not. Whichever you prefer.

prompts

  1. arrival → You've just arrived...and someone has seen it. What's your impression? Good? Bad? Get the hell away from them? It may depend on why you're here in the first place.
  2. not so different → Huh, this could be your own home in the universe, except for a few subtle changes. But those changes stand out.
  3. different time → The place you've ended up is either much more advanced or much more primitive than you're used to.
  4. different world → They breathe oxygen? Where is their night vision?
  5. magical moment → See the gif. Essentially, it's that moment of interest before everything goes absolutely wrong.
  6. disbelief → So, they says they're an ancient Roman or a magic sky god. Did they hit their head?
  7. argument → No, no, no. You're not going anywhere until we get you some clothes and some help.
  8. forced to take them in → You have no other choice but to take this person in. You were either charged with the task or feel guilty.
  9. offer of shelter → You actually want to take them in out of the kindness of your heart.
  10. depowered → Were you a powerhouse before? Well, now you're an average joe. That'll teach you.
  11. misunderstanding → Here, we don't walk around in loin cloths, draw swords, or barely bathe or eat toothpaste. We also don't ride dogs, either.
  12. friendly fun → Being around here isn't always bad. You get to see new sights, taste new foods, and make new friends. Your milage may vary on the last one.
  13. introduced traditions → Time for the newcomer to show their host something from the old country, so to speak, or the reverse.
  14. romantic moment → Dancing or sitting under the stars or your own preference. Go wild and be creative!
  15. showing you care → They have helped you out a lot since you've arrived. Perhaps you can return the favor by lending a hand or solving a problem?
  16. the romantic shift → The typical turn of events where the two of you begin to see each other in a different light.
  17. not my type → Your usual type is more glamorous or more...possessing of gills, but the bond between you two endears them to you.
  18. jealousy → The newcomer misunderstands the dynamic that's already set in place.
  19. someone back home → You find yourself growing closer to your new friend, but you're already taken back home.
  20. confession → You both admit it's more than mere interdimensional alliances.
  21. smut → You've reached that point in the relationship, or you're about to leave, or you're just curious about the people in this world (remember that scene in Howard the Duck where - nevermind, actually).
  22. epic fight → Two worlds collide and big bads from the past are coming to threaten your temporary home and new love.
  23. reformed → You've learned your lesson and turned over a new leaf. As much as you can, anyway. You're more open, less cocky, whatever the case may be.
  24. sacrifice → Unfortunately, you won't get to go home. You selflessly put yourself in harm's way for your lover.
  25. going home → Time for a heartfelt goodbye. Will you see each other again or is this it?
  26. new home → You've learned and gained so much, you've decided to stay in this word.

a fairy tale meme

Step 1: Post a comment with the character name and fandom in the subject.
Step 2: Someone will respond with a number (RNG generated or just chosen based on whatever they prefer) between 1-11. They are now that character role in a story!
Step 3: You can either do the same to determine your character's role within that story! Feel free to twist the role around as necessary.
Step 4: Play and make merry!

Character Roles

1. Princess
One day your prince will come... Or maybe you're going after him! Or maybe you've been cursed/captured/whatever and are in need of rescue! Those towers won't climb themselves, and those kisses that awaken you from a century of slumber aren't exactly cheap.

2. Prince Charming/Heroic Knight
You're handsome (hopefully). You're charming (you think). You have a great outfit (this is debatable). Regardless, it's time to go find and rescue your one true love! ... Er, wherever she or he might be.

3. Villian
Man, those two up there sure are annoying, aren't they? Maybe it's time to do some kidnapping, curse some royalty, plague a kingdom, or whatever other nefarious deed you might be thinking of. In any case, the truly important thing is to make sure your cape and collar are appropriately intimidating and black.

4 . Red Riding Hood
... Or whichever other cute little girl that roams the woods in her free time that you can think of. You're cute, you have a pretty outfit, and there's something growling in the bushes but whatever it is, it can't be too dangerous, can it?

5 . Wolf
You're a wolf. Or a bear. Or some other animal. Or some random person with animal ears and a tail. Maybe you're evil, maybe you're just misunderstood, but you still can't stand those annoying people that keep wandering around your forest. Maybe they're even in your house, eating your food! The nerve! Or maybe they just look delicious, who knows.

6 . Dragon
You're a fucking dragon. Maybe you've kidnapped a snack, maybe someone came to hunt you down, maybe some hobbit is stealing your treasure, maybe you're just chilling. You're a dragon.

7 . Witch
Bring out the hat and broomstick, it's time to get the cauldron bubbling. Good, misunderstood, evil, who knows what you are. Except for a witch. You're definitely a witch. Try to avoid shoving small children into your oven and you should be fine.

8 . Cheery Animal Sidekick
Cheep cheep! Boy that princess sure is pretty, huh? You should sing with her and do her chores for her and obey her slavishly- wait... Well, whatever you're doing, you're cute and small and mildly annoying.

9 . Cursed Prince
Life was just perfect for you, until you got on the wrong side of that witch/wizard/cheery animal sidekick pushed just too far. Now you're cursed! Into a beast? Into a frog? Maybe you have really bad acne now? It could be anything (seriously, anything you can think of) but luckily, the cure is simple. Find your one true love and get that magical first kiss.

10. Fairy Godmother
When your princess is in need, she's only got one person to turn to. Her fairy godmother. It's your job to advise her, help get her out of any scrapes she happens to be in, or maybe you got her in the mess to begin with.

11. Random Extra
Wow, all those other guys sure are weird, aren't they? You'll just get back to work. Even with all this nonsense going on, life continues.

friends with benefits
ah, yes, friends with benefits. no strings attached sexy no pants dance time. wild, rampant, unrestrained bed-shaking, so-loud-it-annoys-the-neighbors idealized sex. with this much enthusiasm going on, you can just tell that these two are perfect soulmates, bonded for life.

except — they aren't.

as it turns out, their intense attraction for each other ends outside of the bedroom. maybe their personalities clash, or neither of them wants a long-term relationship. when they're not doing the horizontal hula, they could be just friends, quietly indifferent, or even argumentative. 

whether it is one of those "long time coming", "get it out of your system", "just need to get laid", or maybe even it's "after a couple drinks and wham bam thank you ma'am" situations, being friends with benefits has its... benefits.

you know the drill.

The Playing House Domestic Shipping Meme + Optional Smut Meme.


RULES!

❧ Leave a comment with your character's name, fandom, and any preferences you have.
❧ When replying, RNG for a number between 1 and 15. The number corresponds to the scenario that you will play out in whatever way you want to.
❧ Go from there!
THE LIST!

01] baby
Suddenly, there's a new addition to your family! Are you expecting? Adopting? Struggling to find the perfect name for your child? Or maybe you're up at a ridiculous hour in the morning because they're crying like crazy.

02] just married
Congratulations! You and your loved (?) one are about to start a whole new life together! It's time for the honeymoon...

03] house hunting
Are you seeking out an apartment? A dream house? Or just any old place, as long as you're with your other? Make sure to weigh your options very carefully...

04] household chores
It's time to clean/cook/garden/take care of something! Do you work together, or does one of you hide until everything is done?

05] shopping
Whether it's for furniture, groceries, or something in between, shopping is something that everybody must do at some point in time! What varies is if they like it or not.

06] family vacation
WE'RE OFF TO DIDNEY WOOOOOOOOORL or wherever
... well, as long as the kids are happy, right...? You may not be happy (or maybe you are), but it's mainly about ~family bonding~.


07] romantic retreat
It's you and your loved one's anniversary, and you decide it's time to take some time off and take them somewhere nice, where you only have each other.

08] comfort
Is somebody sick in bed? Or perhaps they just had a bad day? Sometimes, a good breakfast in bed or a home-cooked meal can really lift the spirits! Or perhaps you want to try medicine, or laughter, or something else?

09] pet
Suddenly, you have another addition to the family! Is it a puppy? A kitty? A fierce dragon? Whatever it is, make sure to give it a name and to take good care of it!

10] holiday
Happy birthday/New Years/Christmas/Valentine's Day/whatever! It's a very special day that only comes once a year, so make it count!

11] argument
Oh, no, who left the stove on... Or maybe it's about why they were out late last night? Either way, there is a lot of tension today, and one of you may or may not be sleeping on the couch tonight.

12] making up
It's time to make amends for that fight/divorce/whatever you had before! After all, you love each other... right?

13] surprise, surprise
You are feeling rather loving tonight, so you want to remind the other person how much you cherish and appreciate them... if it's by something cute and adorable or hot and sexy is completely up to you.

14] proposal
SHUT UP THIS TOTALLY FITS You've been with your other for what feels like forever, and finally you want to tie the knot with them. Will you go down on one knee before them, or get a little creative?

15] other
I know I'm forgetting like a bajillion and one different things here, so this is the option for that!


Together/Committed

  1. In the Beginning: You've moved in together and are learning the boundaries, both sexual and non, of living with a partner.
  2. Not Mom's House Anymore: You're young and starting out; it's crazy to live by yourself instead of with your family! Luckily, your lover can give you things mother never gave you.
  3. Sweep It Under the Rug: Chores can be boring, but you can make them fun, right? After all, you look so good bent over the table while you're dusting.
  4. Naked Apron: Nothing's better than breakfast in bed. Except when you're served it with your baby wearing nothing but the apron they used to make all that bounty.
  5. Letting It All Hang Out: Benefit of being in your own house? Running around naked. This doesn't have to change when you're living with someone.
  6. There's Someone Else...for Both of Us: Three's a crowd, except when two agreed on it.
  7. Spicing Things Up: Sometimes, constantly seeing someone can rub you the wrong way, and intimacy can get rote and boring. That's why slipping a new kink in every now and again isn't a bad idea, especially if it's something that one of you has really wanted to try.
  8. I'll Take Care of You: Everyone deserves to be pampered, and you're letting your partner soak up the best of your home and the best of you.
  9. Proving Your Love: You want to show your lover that you care for them like no one else. After all, you're living with them, not anyone else!
  10. Becoming Comfortable With You: After a while, they've become like another part of you, one you can show or tell anything to, even about how hard you want them to thrust into you or how you want them to suck your -
  11. Suspicious Minds: Jealousy brought from the outside is making one of you antsy. Can a serious fucking session prove that there's no roaming minds here?
  12. Christening the New Place: You've moved into a new home. Unpacked everything? Good! Now it's time to have sex on every surface so it's all totally yours.
  13. Welcome Home: One half of the household has been away - on a trip, at war, at an anime convention, whatever. Now, it's up to the other half to make their welcome wagon the best there ever was.
  14. Cultural Differences: Different cultures have different ideas about home, about coupling, and about the stuff that goes on between the sheets. Can you work it out?
  15. Home-Cooked Meal: Believe it or not, there are even better uses for apple pie than eating it.
  16. I'm Not Used to This: This is your first time in a "committed" relationship, having a home, or both. How are you adjusting? Is it still hard to be touched, be loved, or use a proper bed?
  17. Here Out of Convenience: It's not like you really like them or anything! This is only a roof over your head and a warm hole to fuck.
  18. You're Just Being Used: You're getting a benefit from your relationship that isn't purely sexual, like wealth, power, or control. But in order to keep things in line, you have to keep your partner happy and sexually fufilled.
  19. Keeping You Here: You can't let them slip away, so you'll use your body to keep them ensnared.
  20. Territorial: Your house, your things - they belong to you, and that can give you a rush. Maybe you want to show your lover that they're yours, too.
  21. I Have to Stay: You don't want to be caught up in this, but you're making yourself stay and keeping yourself in bed with the "enemy."
  22. Now I Only Want You Gone: You want this person out of your life, and there are few stronger ways to send this message than make a cuckold of them. Preferably when they know it.
  23. Tell Me More: You want to know if this whole "playing house" thing is all it's cut out to be.
  24. Proving them All Wrong: They said you'd never, ever find someone. Now, you're showing them just what kind of catch you've got yourself by not taking your hands off what you've earned.
  25. Forced Together: Be it expectations or arranged marriage, you two are stuck together. Of course, such contracts involve a certain amount of physical action, like producing heirs.
  26. Keeping Up Appearances: You want to look successful in life, and part of that involves being in a sexual relationship. Or perhaps you want to hide something about yourself.
  27. Argument: Ugh, they put their feet on the table! They broke your favorite vase! They're so...so...hot when they're mad!
  28. Making Up: You feel sorry for what you've said or done and will do anything to prove that. You just want to shower them with your affection (or not), or show them how much they're wanted.
  29. Like Melted Butter: You want something, and the best way to get it is to butter them up and get under their skin - in a good way.
  30. Starting a Family: Both of you are taking the next step and bringing a new life into this world, and there's one old fashioned way to do it.
  31. Absolutely Glowing: So, one of you is pregnant. How has your sex life been affected by changing bodies and mood swings?
  32. Kids Will Be Kids: Now you guys have rugrats to take care of, but don't forget to make time for the two of you. Alone adult time is important.
  33. At-home Date: Break out the wine and the frozen pizza, it's time for a date at the house! Who says you need to go to a fancy dinner to get in the mood?
  34. Lazy Day: Today we're not doing anything, we're just gonna stay in our bed. And all that entails.
  35. Newlyweds: You two are more than committed. You've said your vows, for better or for worse. Hopefully, things will stay better, especially when you take things to the privacy of your room.
  36. Mr. and Mrs. Smith: The relationship is forbidden for some reason, and to have it, you all had to run away and start a new life. Maybe you even have assumed identities! Is it painful that you can only be your true selves in the bedroom?
  37. Tie Me to the Bed Post: The great thing about a well-furnished place is all the cool things you can find lying around that can be repurposed for other tasks. Like tying someone's arms or teasing someone's genitals.
  38. Out of My Closet: Speaking of things lying around, how about a sexy show with those underused items in your wardrobe?
  39. At Another Person's Home: Who cares that you're guests at somebody's house and they can hear you through the walls? Go for it!
  40. With Another Person at Home: Who cares that you have a guest at your house and they can hear you through the walls? Go for it!
  41. Way Down in Kokomo: You're on vacation. Sun, sand, surf, and 24/7 sex.
  42. Finally Tamed: No one, including you, thought you'd ever be domestic. But this person and their sexual attention have brought you to your knees.

Other

  1. The Help: A home can run more smoothly with hired help like maids and cooks. It's beneficial to show that help some well-deserved love now and then, too.
  2. The Babysitter: Whether live-in or not, a babysitter goes through a lot and develops a bond with the kids. He or she may develop a bond with the parent(s), as well.
  3. The Guest: You've been invited to this person's house - and their bed - and they're showing you the ultimate hospitality.
  4. Siblings...or More: The two of you are related, but you live together like a couple. There are whispers...are they true?
  5. Roommates with Benefits: You're not committed or exclusive, but it's nice to have somebody in the same house with you that you can be with when you need it.
  6. Mister Fix-It: All homes sometimes need repairs. Maybe a qualified repair person can make other repairs, as well.

the freak in the sheets meme


You're an innocent little thing. Your a nice, calm, levelheaded type. You're a nerd. Or maybe you're even a stoic with one goal in mind. At any rate, people would think you'd be absolutely puritanical when it comes to your love life. Except they'd be wrong. Absolutely and utterly wrong. You're actually an animal in the bedroom.

So whether it be kink, rough sex, or just plain sexual curiosity, don't be afraid to let your freak flag fly!

HOW TO PLAY

- Comment with your character and preferences. Also mention if you want your character to be surprised by their partner or do the surprising.
- Comment to others.
- Play out the thread.

PROMPTS
By Nature: You have a big sexual appetite because you were born this way, baby.
By Nurture: Your partner has imparted their sexual wisdom, tastes, and desire on you and you've amped it up. They created you, so hopefully they can keep up.
By Passion: Excitement means you just can't help yourself.
Secret: You've been keeping your sex drive a secret. Maybe you don't want the person you like to think you're some kind of pervert?
Exploration: You're no wizard of eroticism, but you're interested in finding out everything about your partner's body.
Stamina: What you may lack for in skill or finesse, you make up for with enthusiasm. You can go for hours.
Still Innocent: There's something so hot about someone that's a mix between a virgin and a minx.
First Time: Th-this is sex? Oh, God, you never want to stop.
Kink: You've always wanted to try [insert kink here]. That's not too embarrassing, right? Or maybe you're an old hand at it.
Had to Hold Back: Before, you've never been able to be sexually satisfied because no one could handle you or, if you lost control, things would get...bad. Worry no more!
For the One Person: Before meeting this person, you were functionally asexual. Now, though, they've awoken something in you that you cannot describe.
Out of Love: Everything you're doing to them, you're doing out of love. EveryTHING.
Request: You want them to hit you, pull your hair, or call you daddy. Good thing you're so close.
Dirty Mouth: They told you to put your mouth to better use. You're just obliging them.
Letting Off Steam: You're frustrated. What better way of stress management than losing yourself in someone else?
To Prove Them Wrong: They threatened your...let's be real, it's probably masculinity. You have to prove to them that you're able to perform.

imperfections & intimacy meme
a smut (?) meme

Even if they're not permanent or irremovable, imperfections are often as much a part of us as our blood and bones, pumping through our bodies. They leave a mark and can often shape the way we perceive ourselves. Look in the mirror, what do you see? Idealized dreams, what's not absolutely perfect or appealing about you, or somewhere in between - the closest to the "real you" that you can perceive? Sometimes, it's hard to love that person, that flawed being you see looking back at you. While in the end it's imperative for you to love you, the first step towards that can be a partner or a lover doing it for you. Intimacy is able to serve as that adoration made physical; it may also be an important facet to becoming more comfortable in one's skin, especially if intimacy has been a problem before. This is keeping in mind that the path to self-acceptance can be difficult and slow.

This meme is to explore such intimacy between two characters. No "flaw," used loosely for obvious reasons, is off limits here, be it big or small. Size, shape, scars and prior injuries, imperfections, mental hurdles, past experiences, personality traits, trust issues, and anything else that runs the gamut is welcome. Even if it's not that much of a bother to the character or it's something they've learned to cope with better than others have, players are welcome to explore the psychological and psychical implications. Of course, characters to love their partners in spite of - or because of - their flaws are needed, as well. Whether a fluffy or angsty direction is taken is completely up to the threaders.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character and preferences. If your character is the one with the imperfections, say so and say what it is for those who are canonblind. If you want to play the "support," say that as well. Basically, mention all you're interested in playing! You may also want to be upfront about how much you want the flaw to play into the intimacy/sex: ie, whether it should be a side note or the focus of the thread.
  • Comment to others.
  • There are no prompts or RNG. Play out any aspect of this theme, whether it be the act itself, working slowly towards getting there, moments of dramatic steps backwards, opening up, or anything in between.

the back together meme
a smut/intimacy reunion theme
  • The premise of the meme is simple. Two characters, lovers, have been separated for a time. How long is up to you, as is the reason for the separation. Was it unwilling - an imprisonment, a required journey - or because of a choice one of the characters made? The reason may, of course, color the reunion, and somebody may be pretty miffed, with good reason. Still, the theme is the same: intimacy after being apart.
  • This meme is mostly geared towards being a smut meme, but nobody will judge you for just doing so heavy fluff.
  • Reply with your character and preferences.
  • Reply to others. Assumed CR is probably key here.

  MAKE UP SEX MEME


You've messed up. Whether it be a small squabble over who got the last beer or a big, big betrayal, you have hurt your lover/spouse/significant other/friend with benefits enough to get them angry with you. For the moment, this relationship is on the rocks. But still, you want to make things right.

After your apology and attempts to make amends, or perhaps as part of that attempt, you need something to reaffirm the bond between you two. There's something to be said for make up sex; it can help you both heal you hurts - and, at the very least, it can show that you can be in the same room together.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character and preferences.
  • You may also want to mention if you want to play the one who did the hurting/will apologize or the one who was hurt by the argument.
  • Reply to others.
WHY

  1. Serious: There's some broken hearts and real pain here. It may take time to heal anything.
  2. Not-So-Serious: Surely such a petty, silly disagreement won't ruin your day. Don't let it go that way.
HOW

  1. Romantic & Fluffy
  2. Hate Sex
  3. Something in Between/Other?
metropolising: (Default)
 
 
It's only natural to long for a perfect love story. Few things feel as fulfilling as a relationship where the other person will always listen to you, sex is always good and happiness always seems to be one word away.

But it's not so simple in your case, is it? Because no matter how nice and happy your relationship is, the truth is that nobody else wants it to continue. Either you come from rival factions or pursue a relationship that is taboo or illegal, but this little bubble of happiness you're currently sharing would infuriate anyone who might find out about it.

That's all right, though, isn't it? As long as you have each other, you can make this meeting wonderful regardless of what everyone else thinks.

  • Post your character and their basic information to the meme. Feel free to either set a scenario or leave your comment blank and open for one.
  • Your character and the commenter are now engaged in a very bad romance! This is their first meeting after a long while, so sparks are definitely going to fly.
  • But what about the details of their relationship? For that, you can either decide on your own or head to Random.ORG and roll for one of the following options! First, roll for the kind of relationships they have:

1. Keeping it in the Family: It's not unusual for siblings to love each other, or for parents to love their children. What's unusual is when you love each other too much, even if you have the excuse of not being related by blood.

2. Pay for Play: Your relationship wasn't built on love. It might be that one of you needed money and the other was willing to pay for a pretty face and a few wild nighs. It can be that one of you has something that allows them to blackmail the other into being their obedient toy. Whichever the case, there came a point where this relationship became too important for your lives to let go.

3. Rival factions: You might be coming from families that have been at each other's throats for generations, two rival corporations or two kingdoms at war. Or it might be the law that keeps you apart; a cop and a criminal is hardly a decent pair, after all. Whichever the case, you must be stealthy about this or the wrath of both your sides will fall upon you.

4. Balance of Power: One of you is enjoying a very different social standing from another. It might be that one of you is richer than rich and another is poorer than poor. Or it could be that one lover's standing is far above the other's, like that of a master and a servant or a soldier and a general. Of course, nobody expects this to work out. Even fewer would approve of it.

5. A Pair of Cheaters: One or both of you are stuck in another relationship, either out of convenience or because of love that cooled a long time ago. You know what you're doing is wrong and hurtful, but it's too late to stop. This relationship is the only thing that gets you off anymore.

6. Immoral and Illegal: Your relationship isn't just wrong, it might get you into serious trouble. Whether you are a teacher flirting with their student or a nun breaking her vow of celibacy to be seduced by a handsome friend, the slightest hint of being discovered will ruin your life forever. Problem is, you're far too involved to stop.

7. Toxic Relationship: One of you is clearly bad for each other. They might be a delinquent, a criminal or something else, but the number of bad habits they're bringing into your life is ridiculous. You should be stopping. Now, if only you wouldn't enjoy the chaos they're bringing into your life so much.

8. Stockholm Syndrome: It's not a relationship at all. One of you is keeping the other against their will; either as a political prisoner, a kidnapping victim waiting for a ransom or plain an unwilling toy. At some point, the relationship reached the point where the lines became blurred and you're no longer sure if you want to be rescued from this supposed hell.

  • Done choosing? Good. Now roll the numbers again and decide on the circumstances behind your meeting:

1. First Time for Everything: Your relationship has been going for some time, but this is the first time you decided to let it advance into the bedroom. One or both of you might be nervous, but it's fine. This step should have been made a while ago.

2. A Usual Rendezvous: The relationship is now at the point where meeting up for sex whenever you're feeling safe and bored is a common affair. The world outside might hate you for this, but it's nothing compared to the routine of your relationship.

3. Ironic Jealousy: Oh my! One of you have seen the other in the hands of another. It doesn't matter if this "another" is their rightful partner, their spouse or whatever else. You belong to each other, so there's nothing wrong in getting jealous and a little rough for it.

4. Doubts and Hesitation: No matter how good your relationship is, it's wrong and one of you has been feeling that much more deeply these days. It's time for a confrontation - either you spend one last night before breaking up or one manages to convince the other that this whole thing must continue.

5. Caught in the Act: You've been doing your best to hide, but it didn't take you far. Someone saw you and it's only a matter of time before the whole world knows about your affair. Do you separate in order to satisfy everyone else? Or do you recklessly discard your old lives for the sake of forbidden love?

6. After Separation: Due to the constant pressure on your relationship, you decided to separate and lead your own lives. For better or worse, it takes you only so far. A chance meeting sends you into each other's arms and leaves you wondering why you broke up in the first place.

7. Happily Ever After: A lot of people protested against your union, but you never let it stop you. Now you're either leading a new life away from everything that forced you away from each other, or you convinced the world that this is what's right for you. Tonight is the night of celebration and not leaving each other's arms, no matter what.

Being with someone can change your life. But what if you can't have your old life back? For your own sake, the sake of your relationship, or by no choice of your own, you have to leave the old you behind. It can go from anything to changing a behavior to changing your whole identity, and all of it can be difficult. One thing is clear, however; to continue where or as you'd lived before is not an option if you want to keep this person you care for in your life.

how to play;

  • Comment with your character and preferences.
  • Respond to others.
  • THERE WILL BE QUESTIONABLE CONTENT. Just because it's a shipping meme doesn't means everything's fluffy; in fact, more options than not have some unfortunate implications.

prompts;

  1. Open Secret: You two have never specifically said who you are in this new place, though you've never denied it.
  2. Witness Protection: To protect your lives, you must live under assumed identities.
  3. Your Real Life: What you knew before was false. This is the actuality.
  4. After a Tragedy: All your friends are dead. Your group is shaken. You saw someone you love murdered. The only other person you have left is the one you're with.
  5. Second Chance at Life: After a brush with death, you've decided to do things right and actually live.
  6. I Don't Want this Life, Dean: You don't want to continue in the family business - er, in your old ways set up by someone else, so you cling to someone who can give you a normal life.
  7. Criminal: You did a bad thing and are wanted. For your protection and the safety of the one you lo...that person, you have to hide.
  8. Turning Over a New Leaf: You're genuinely trying to become a better person and you can't do that with the reminders of your old home and old life.
  9. Rehabilitation: Your lover is helping you get over your wounds, your traumas, or your flaws.
  10. Blank Slate: You have to have a new life because you don't know your old one! All you know is the person you're with and the things they can tell you.
  11. Partners in Crime: You two are rough around the edges, but you're reformed. Really, you just want a peaceful life!

  12. Old Habits Die Hard: No matter what your life is now, you can't shake the need to double check the locks or hold your magic wand tight.
  13. Guilt: You're guilty about your relationship, so you have to reside in hiding.
  14. Through Elicit Means: You got with your partner through cheating and you want to keep that fact on the low.
  15. Stolen Away: You stole your partner - from a bad situation or from someone cruel - so you have to keep your heads down
  16. Taboo:
    1. Incest: It's better for you to live where no one know's you're related.
    2. Age Difference: You can always fake IDs and birth certificates.
    3. Interspecies: There has to be somewhere that doesn't have the prejudices of your home.
  17. Tyrannical Government: You're political enemies drawn together. Perhaps you're working to undermine the government, or maybe you've escaped from that place and are living in peace.
  18. Pulled from the Darkness: Your previous life was so terrible, you don't want to even ponder it any more. End of story, it doesn't matter.
  19. Dependent: You don't know anyone else in this new world of yours, or you don't know how to navigate it, making you dependent on your partner.
  20. Protecting Them: You're with them and hiding them for their own benefit.
  21. They Don't About Your Past:
    1. Secret Monster: If they knew about who you used to be, they'd be disgusted and want nothing to do with you.
    2.  
    3. For Them: You're dangerous to be around, so you can't clue them in lest an old enemy or your own abilities come back and harm them.
    4. Florence Nightingale: They found you and took you in to help you, no questions asked. You couldn't help but fall for them.
  22. Using Them: This new life is just a sham. You want them to be your camouflage, maybe even getting others to believe you've changed.
  23. Faked Turned Real:
  24. Both of you were using each other for cover, but now...you're not sure.
  25. Brainwashing:
    1. One-Sided: You love them and want them to believe that things have always been like this. Can you be blamed for going about it this way?
    2. Mutual: Both of you think you've always lived this life, thanks to outside forces.
  26. Who Am I, Really?: You love your partner, but you feel like you're losing yourself.

Others respond after going to RNG.Roll 1-3 for what your character is and then1-3 again for what type (if you desire).
Choose or roll for a scenario. You could make up your own after you roll for what your character's role will be if you want!
Have fun!

Vampires
1 - Sire
You're old enough to have created vampires of your own. Maybe one, maybe many, but they're all special to you in their own way.
2 - Sired
You were once normal, human, but then you were changed into something more. Do you thank your creator or hate them for changing you into a monster?
3 - n/a
Your creator is neither here nor there at the moment. You're just a vampire on the hunt or trying to fit in.

Outsider
1 - Victim
You're a victim, someone to drain and leave behind. Maybe they'll take pity on you and allow you to join, be one of them.
2 - Willing
You've got the hots for vampires or just a morbid fascination. You're willing to let them drink from you and maybe so much more.
3 - Pawn
You're being controlled somehow by a vampire. Mind control, blackmail, whatever.

Hunter
1 - Born
You come from a long line of vampire hunters.
2 - Moral Objection
Vampires are abominations that deserve to be wiped off the face of the planet.
3 - Vengeance
A vampire took someone dear from you or possibly made you into one of them. All you can think about is getting vengeance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Gen
1 - hunted prey.
You're starving tonight and you're out scoping for just the right nighttime snack.
2 - newly made.
You're a newly made vampire or you've encountered someone who's recently been changed. How do you deal?
3 - mind control.
Some vampires have the ability to control humans' thoughts or actions and tonight is the night you have to do it.
4 - overpopulated.
Vampires have taken over the world and now humans are treated like livestock or pets that you can feed off of when you feel like it. Not all vampires think this is cool though...
5 - injured.
Not a lot can injure a vampire but there are those that will drain them for their blood or those that hunt them and know tricks that actually leave a mark. Do you help them? Or if you're the one injured, do you seek help?
6 - unaccepted.
You were changed or you've met someone who was once dear to you and changed... you're not sure how to accept them.
7 - close call.
It's too close to sunrise and you have got to find refuge with someone.
8 - player's choice.
For anything that's been missed!

Violent
1 - trail of bodies.
Humans are nothing but food and you've gone on a spree lately.
2 - hunted.
You're being hunted or you're hunting.

A bar or a club full of vampires doesn't bode well for humans...

You have to defend yourself from those that want to hurt you.
7 - vengeance.
Someone is after vengeance...

For anything that's been missed!

Romantic
1 - real love.
You know this is real, even if the other person is reluctant. Maybe it's not even a worry between you two and you just feel like being together.
2 - confession.
It might not be the smartest idea, but you need to tell this vampire or human exactly how you feel for them.
3 - forever.
It's time to make your lover into some a vampire or maybe it's time to ask your vampire lover to do it for you.
4 - making it work.
There are obviously some problems, but you're going to overcome them.
5 - forbidden.
Either no one can know about what you're doing or you just receive dirty looks for doing it.
6 - not exactly normal.
Your attraction might not be normal or the circumstances surrounding your relationship might not be and it's time to discuss if you have a future or you're just kidding yourselves.
7 - defense.
Someone hurt your lover and now they have to pay.
8 - player's choice.
For anything that's been missed!

Smut
1 - blood offering.
There's nothing like a vampire feeding on you that gets you in the mood more. You offer them your blood in exchange for something else.
2 - coerced.
Some vampires have mind control capabilities and some have blood that's like a drug that will make you crave more.
3 - no sex better than vampire sex.
You're both vampires or one of you is dead set on becoming on tonight and you'll do anything to convince your lover it's time.
4 - pet.
Similar to another option except that a 'pet 'entails so much more than being treated like livestock or cattle.
5 - touched the monster's heart.
You're actually in love with each other even though you weren't sure it was possible. You just want to make love and show your vampire how you feel.
6 - so much stronger.
The human or weaker vampire might not want it, but thankfully you're strong enough to take whatever you want from them.
7 - mine.
It's time to claim what is rightfully yours and make sure they know it.
8 - player's choice.
For anything that's been missed!

 The Superhero's Significant Other Meme

You're just an average Joe (or Joanna, as the case may be). You live a normal, unassuming life and go on with your day-to-day business. There is, however, one thing about you that is a little unusual - beside your sparkling personality.

You're dating a superhero.

So, what's in this week's issue? Are you childhood friends come together? Do you actually know your love is that caped crusader? If you do, is it a thorn in your side that you will always come second to the cause? Of course, there's always going to be that annoying time where they try to "protect" you by breaking up with you. Oh joy. Well, at least, how's your sex life? Surely those super powers can make for some interesting bedroom trysts. Maybe after one of them, you can tell your beau that you're a superhero, too.

...but what if your significant other isn't the hero? What if they're the villain?

  • Comment with your character, preferences, their position (superhero, significant other, either, etc), and comfort level (ie, no smut).
  • Reply to others.

Mostly because I'm surprised we've never had this kind of meme before. We love high school AUs. We love romance. Why not combine those into a glorious mix?

Your teen years are important, formatively speaking. You're trying to find out just where you belong and what kind of person you're going to be. This already daunting task is complicated by the soul-sucking demon known as high school. If you weren't having a hard time before coming here, you certainly are now.

Add into this mixture raging hormones, and baby, you've got a misery stew cooking. But it's not all bad! Sometimes high school crushes can be sweet, and the occasional high school relationship lasts.

So whether you're too cool or distracted for romance or always on to the next good looking stud, come on down and try to navigate the romantic labyrinth that is the halls of Bakerstreet High.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character and preferences. Needless to say, aging down and AUing is welcomed and probably necessary. Have fun with it! Feel free to include a short blurb about your character's Bakerstreet High self. Are they popular? The class clown? A drifter? A band geek?
  • Comment to others.
  • Use the RNG. Or not.

  8. 10 things: You were challenged to ask them out or bed them, but shit got real.

  16. kindness counts: They were kind to you, which is a pretty big deal in high school especially if you're an outcast, and you can't help nursing an even bigger crush.
  17. sudden attraction: You're the kind who falls instantly and hard.
  18. always on the move: You change crushes or dates like underwear. Maybe this one is the one, though.
  19. nerd love: Both of you are social pariahs. At least you have each other.

  38. the volatile couple: Speaking of, there's always a couple that seems to be fighting 24/7? When they're hot, they're hot, when they're cold, they're glacial.
  39. finally together: You're the will-they-won't-they of high school, and when you get together senior year, the whole class will give you a standing ovation because FINALLY.
  40. long term couple: When did you guys get together? Probably like middle school or something. You've always been together.
  41. hide who you are: Unfortunately, even these days some people make it necessary for those who don't conform to the "ideals" to hide their true selves.
  42. break up: Statistically, it was bound to fail.
  43. after graduation: Can you guys make it work after you lose the common ground of school? This can be challenging if you're going to be living in different places.

 "you're my weakness" meme
A SHIPPING MEME

You're a strong person, perhaps physically, perhaps mentally, perhaps both. You're brave. A steel rod of a backbone means you face your enemies with little hesitation, doing the job no one else wants to do. That kind of intestinal fortitude is commendable. You have a purpose. You have a mission. There is something about you that people want.

And you have a weakness.

Maybe nobody knows it or maybe everyone knows it, but your weakness is the person you're in love with. Yes, in love. Someone like you can be in love, whether you've admitted it to yourself or not...or to them. More than anything, you want to be with them and keep them safe from harm. Sometimes, you just can't. It's more dangerous around you than with you.

Whether you're together or not, you should hope that no one with an axe to grind with you knows that this person is your blind spot...

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character, preferences, whether you're open to smut or no, etc.
  • Be sure to mention if you'd prefer to play the one with the weakness or the "weak spot."
  • Reply to others.
  • Use the RNG or not.

PROMPTS

ship

  1. First Meeting: You've never met a person who's caught your interest quite like this; you may not know how to respond to these unique feelings.
  2. With Them Before It Happened: They came first. The situation that drove you to your "destiny" occurred later. You can't just throw away that old life.
  3. Unexpected Savior: You were down and out. They found you and nursed them back to health. You feel indebted to them..and more.
  4. Normalcy is Abnormal: You would never take things like dinner, picnics, dancing, or the movies for granted. Some people can't have that, after all.
  5. Missed Date: Of course, you have to bail out on dates occasionally. Duty calls.
  6. Shown Love: Who could ever care for someone like you? They can. They show you selfless affection
  7. Bad Apple: You’re rotten through and through - except for your genuine love for them.
  8. Light of My Life: Everything in this world seems terrible except for them, you’re beautiful, shining light. For them, you can live.
  9. Something There: Before, you were cruel to them, or they to you, yet now both of you see past that blustery beast (even if one of you was, say, a prisoner);
  10. Keepings Tabs: You have to know that your most important person is safe, or else you just can’t think straight.
  11. Stay Away: For their own protection, they have to keep away from a dangerous person like you. So no matter if you love them of they love you, you have to break up with them for their safety.
  12. Happened Before: The person you loved before got hurt because of you and you swore you would never love again. Still, you’re feeling that way once more, letting those walls down, and the old patterns are repeating themselves over and over.
  13. Important: You’re a king, a lord, a president, a top assassin. People would love to get close to you - or take you out - if they could find the right path in.
  14. Bodyguard: Your mission is the one you love (though you didn’t start out loving them), and the one thing keeping you from keeping them perfectly safe is also them.
  15. Berserk Button: From minor slight to major injury, no one hurts your lover without retribution.
  16. Left in the Dark: They don’t know what kind of life you truly lead. How long can you keep that double life a secret?
  17. Became This for Them: What you are now is all out of your adoration for them. You’ll do anything to keep them safe, even if it means becoming a monster.
  18. Not Accepted: You’ve finally revealed what you are in all actuality to them and the reaction was not positive. They’re repulsed by you or by what you’ve done.
  19. Dynamic Duo: They’ve accepted everything about you, including your mission. In fact, they want to help you fulfill your purpose.
  20. Family: You two have started a family together, so there's even more to lose.
  21. Blackmail: Some sinister somebody is holding the happiness, safety, or wellbeing of your loved one above your head to make you serve them.
  22. Hate Me: It’s not enough to leave them. You have to ensure their safety by making them despise you and never search you out.
  23. Destroy: You know that they could be your undoing, so you'll take them out yourself. You refuse to be weak.
  24. Kidnapped: Your weakness has been spotted and picked at, quite literally. Now, the person you care for is in the clutches of someone who wants nothing more than to see you destroyed.
  25. Bad End: Is it in bad taste to want to name this prompt after a certain comic book character? The worst of your fears has come to past. Your beloved is dying in your arms because of their relationship with you and you weren't able to save them in time.
  26. Placed in Your Life: The one you thought you loved and trusted was only a mole all along. They were placed in order to get you to make certain decisions and never really cared for you.
  27. Happy Ending: You've made it to a safe enough place in your life for you and your love to be stable and settle down.
smut

  1. Reluctant: You don't want to hurt your partner during intimacy, which is a distinct possibility.
  2. Solace: There's only one place where you find comfort about what your true nature is, and that's in their arms.
  3. Manipulation: There's one way to worm into your heart and onto your good side; they know it, and they can make you squirm. That's not always a good thing.

The Teach Me How to Love Meme

No matter how straightforward it may seem, the human emotion of "love," especially true, unconditional love, is complex and often hard to understand. All that forgiveness, all that dedication, all that light in the dark - how can one person have all that inside of them? You don't understand that, possibly because you're not a human. You're a calculating robot, an alien with a completely different frame of reference, or an artificially created being told only to feel certain ways. If you are a human, however, that doesn't necessarily clue you in to all the secrets of affection. Cold, uncaring assassins, brutal warriors, ruthless womanizers and maneaters, or the just plain broken can often feel like robots among their own kind.

But you want that to change. You have a stirring in your chest for someone and you want to know what love is so you can make them happy. This is the first time you've ever wanted to do so and be so unselfish. Hopefully, they can be a good teacher and help you open up, getting you both closer...

...or you could end up with someone as inexperienced as you. Well, there is something to be said about learning together.

the ENTHUSIASTIC CONSENT meme

 
Aphrodisiacs, dubious situations, no-win scenarios, and contrivances are often the order of the day in DWRP's smut. It's understandable; after all, you need a little help getting strange bedfellows in, er, bed.

But let's go for a change in pace today. Let's skip all that and just suspend a little disbelief to have everyone fully consenting and less jaded. More than consenting, actually. This meme is about enthusiastic consent. Your character really, really, really wants to be with this person. No matter if your character is the perkiest moeblob or the most grouchy of action protagonists or the most conniving of baddies, they are super into their thread mate and equally into the act of sex.

Maybe they're even excited...but let's not push things, right?

So, that's it. That's the meme! Simple, huh? Nothing dubious, no tricks or twists.

The Second Love Meme

Very little is opined about more than first love. That person will always be special for you. They'll have a place in your heart forever. And, to be fair, all that is true. You never forget your first love, the first person you shared with, the first person you opened up to. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you view life's picture, a first love is very rarely your only love.

Most likely, things just won't work out. That happens. You change and you both move on, hopefully amicably. Of course, things could be...messier. You realize they don't love you the way you love them and you have to let it go for your own good. Understandable. They may break it off with with you, leaving the ashes of someone bitter and broken. Also understandable, at least on your part.

The worst case, though, is first love severed by the sharp life of a short life. They were taken away from you, and unlike the other scenarios, you can never see them again. Ever, no chance encounters on the horizon. You could possibly blame yourself, and it would be easy to do so if the wound is too fresh and painful. How could this have happened? You thought you could keep them safe and you'd be together forever, despite how naive that sounds in retrospect.

No matter what the case, the loss of something so dear to you must hurt like no other. You're certainly not looking for a rebound. You could have even have sworn off love. After all, who's looking to be hurt — or hurt somebody again, because you're a time bomb and everything you touch dies? You were guarding yourself, understandably.

Then, they came along, and everything changed. It possibly took a little prodding, probably still is, yet you're falling in love again. Whether it's good or bad is irrelevant, because you can't stop it so easily.

But, perhaps, this person's second love is your, the new "interloper," first one. You want to heal their old hurts and some of your own, too, though it's not easy. How can you when they keep turning you away? Or what if you're living in the shadow of a lost lover? You can never replace them and you don't want to, so why does it still feel that way? At any rate, you're desperate to show them that you're your own person, not someone second rate.

First loves can be hard. Second loves can be even harder, no matter how sweet any rewards could be.

  • The tl;dr read of it is this is a meme for second loves and people getting over heartbreaks and moving on in an attempt at being healthy. Jury's out on how healthy any of it will be. This meme is also for people who want to play the new love interest!
  • Reply with your character's name, canon, and your preferences. If you have an idea of what role you'd like to play, include that. Also include any relevant information about your character's history, if applicable.

The ocean is a beautiful and mysterious place. Over 95 percent of it remains unexplored. So it isn't so unbelievable that things could exist in it's depths which the world believes to be myths. The most fascinating and well-known stories of things lurking in the ocean's undiscovered depths are the merfolk. Creatures with the upper body of a human and the tail of a fish. Stories of mermaids and mermen span the globe.

Are they real?

Well, that's for you to decide.



The Prompts

(1) The Siren's Call: You're out on the ocean. Perhaps you're a pirate on a grand adventure. Perhaps you're a fisherman Perhaps you're just on vacation. You hear it on the wind. A lovely voice that seems to be calling to you. Softly lulling you. Will you answer?

(2) The Little Mermaid: You know the tale, right? A mermaid who dreams of the world above the ocean's surface. You see a prince (or princess) and fall in love. What will you do to be at their side? What will you give? Everything has a price.

(3) The Fisherman's Soul: You spot them amid the waves and instantly you are hooked! You must be with them! But they say a human cannot survive the sea with their soul intact. Do you believe this? Will you cast aside your soul for the sake of your sea-dwelling love? Or will you see another way to be with them always?

(4) Ocean Magic: You find yourself captured and set to be a side show for a traveling circus. What will you do? Try to escape? Accept your fate? Maybe you're happy to be a part of the circus!

(5) Deep Trouble: Much like the above, you've been captured. But not by a traveling circus. Scientists who wish to study you--perhaps even dissect you! Or a someone has put you up for sale to the highest bidder! In some way you have fallen into human hands and they are the ones in control of your fate! Where will you go? What will become of you?

(6) The Selkie's Tale: Well, you're not really what people think of right off the top of their heads when someone says 'mermaid'. But hey, you are what you are. A creature which lives in the form of a seal in the ocean but who can shed your skin and walk on land as a human. Just remember that if someone finds your skin, they can gain power over you! (And if they burn it you can never escape!) So hide it well! And humans beware because selkies are known to display great powers of seduction!

(7) The Merrow's Tale: Basically "The Selkie's Tale" but with what we're more accustomed to when hearing the term 'mermaids'. Rather than shedding their skin, they possess a cap which allows them to return to the sea as a mermaid.

(8) Shipwrecked and Stranded: It's a strange set of circumstances which has brought mermaid and human together. A ship has gone down during a terrible storm and left a lone passenger stranded on a deserted island. This same storm has somehow blocked a stream between the island's lake and the ocean, also stranding a mermaid or merman. As the lake is the only source of fresh water for our stranded traveler, of course the two will meet. Where will things go from there?

(9) The Thirteenth Year: You weren't always a mermaid. In fact, this whole mermaid thing is pretty new to you! You've just reached a milestone birthday (Thirteen, the transition to teenager. Sweet sixteen. Legal adult 18. Your choice really.) and suddenly you're finding scales appearing on your arms and legs at random intervals! And that's not all! You can swim super fast, talk to fish and maybe you're even starting to find yourself capable of breathing under water! Looks like you were adopted and your mom might have been a mermaid.

(10) Monster From The Deep: Maybe you're not a very nice mermaid. Maybe you're after a meal or a human soul or even just like tormenting humans. Whatever the case, this isn't going to be a happy story...

(11) Nereid: They are the sea nymphs. Daughters (and sons) of Nereus and Doris. They accompany Poseidon as he travels the ocean. Often they help lost travelers find their way and protect sailors in perilous storms. Those who treat the ocean with proper respect at least...

(12) WILDCARD: Mix and match or make up your own!

The Last Moments Shipping Meme
There's still a fighting chance for you two to make it out of this alive. That's what you want to believe now, as you and the person you love face an almost imminent doom. You're going to be murdered in cold blood, your planet will be blown to smithereens, your whole raced wiped out, you'll lose an important battle; whatever the specifics are, the end result will be you six feet under and as cold as the grave. What's worse, though, is the same fate will befall your most treasured person.

But you're not dead yet. There's still a few moments left to make the most important decisions of your life. Will you continue your struggle to the end, even if some part of you knows it's useless, if not for you...then for them? Or perhaps your time will be better served trying to comfort them, letting them know they'll die loved and in your arms.

What if you haven't told them how you feel? You're not ready to confess, not yet. You never want to. Of course, there's not much choice. It's now or never. Can you stand looking into their eyes while they pass, knowing you weren't truthful?

the best friends to more meme
There's nothing in this world quite like a true, blue best friend that you can rely on. They've been with you through thick and thin, good and bad. You want to have fun? They're the first person you look for, because they always know how to bring the best out in you. You need a shoulder to cry on? Don't worry, they're already here. You need to bury a body? ...you should probably reconsider your priorities, but you know your best friend will be there with a shovel and a smile. You'd never ruin this friendship for ANYTHING in the world.

Something's brewing that may do just that, though. One of you has feelings, has for a long time, and that spells trouble. Unless you keep that to yourself and remain platonic, of course. Repression in this case might be a good thing.

Only it's too late. The cat's out of the bag, whether it's by confession or by accident. What to do, what to do? If feelings aren't returned, can you turn down a friend, or will you force something that isn't there just to make them happy? If feelings are returned, will you risk changing the perfect thing you have?

  • Comment with your character, canon, preferences, and which side you may want to play. IE, the one with feelings, etc. Also, mention if you'd like things to be more fluffy or more tragic.
  • Respond to others. Assumed CR and AU it up if need be.

Find a cause and serve it. Some people are good at that, being natural-born followers. Others are more rebellious and don't subordinate well, yet can follow their heart if they believe their actions are right. Most find themselves dedicated to something at some time during their lives. But what if that cause isn't a something, but a someone? A person.

The particulars aren't that important. You're a dedicated servant. A best friend. A soldier. brainwashed to know no better. A bodyguard charged to protect. Somebody who ended up here along the way and just felt like you need to take care of this person because they'll probably trip on their own shoelaces. Maybe they're too delicate for this world and you want to keep them innocent. Whether the person you're tangled up with has a mission themselves or are merely living their life, somebody has to look out for them.

This resolve may be easier to keep before you realize than your feelings towards them are beyond platonically protective; if you're the sort to put all thoughts into the mission, this new distraction may be confusion. You may need to protect them from something new...yourself.

  • Comment with your character, preferences, etc.
  • Mention if you want to play the one with the "cause" or the "cause" itself.
  • Reply to others.
  • Play out any aspect of the relationship: beginning, realizations, attempt to "protect," what have you.

love will break the curse meme

You're cursed. Whether it's metaphorical, a destroyed life that has brought you to bitterness, or quite literal, there seems to be no escape. Keyword, of course, is seems. There actually is a way to break it, and as cliche as it sounds, it's simple: true love. You must be loved selflessly and love selflessly in return. This could shatter the hold on you or cure the darkness of your heart.

Yet just when you'd given up, someone comes into your life and turns it upside down. Though things may be rocky at first, you realize soon enough that there's something there that wasn't there before. Your walls begin to come down and your heart begins to soften.

Still, is this wise? Do they really love you the way you love them, or will you get hurt once again? Will their affection be enough to break the curse...and can you let them go once you've found them?

  • Comment with your character, canon, preferences, and desired role. Magic and curses need not actually be involved.

Parents Need Love, Too.

In general, there's an understanding that deciding to have a child is a commitment. Most parents, planned or accidental, attempt to do what's best by their child. Of course, it may not always end up that way, but there's at least effort put towards it. But there's a lot of effort needed in every aspect of childrearing, whether the kid is a newborn baby or an older child. If both parents decide to stay together, their own relationship may have to take second fiddle to this force of nature that's entered your life.

It's important, though, to not let that relationship and its care fall by the wayside. Those who only bond through the child will be in for a rude awakening when they look up one day and realize they're with a stranger. Don't ignore those needs, either. Physical intimacy is important! So, at least once in a while, put your precious cargo to bed and remind each other how you got here in the first place

Rules

  • Comment with your character, preferences, etc.
  • AU, assume CR, do what you need to do. Young parents, teen parents, older parents, aged up, whatever. It's all good.

PROMPTS

  1. Obligatory Pregnant Sex Option: Can't have this meme without it!
  2. Moving into a New Place: Since your family's getting bigger, you've got to move to a new place. Better christen the new rooms.
  3. Planned: You knew what you were getting into...sort of.
  4. Accidental: This wasn't what you had in mind. Still, you're going to step up and try to
  5. Just Born: Baby's home, mother's home, now it's time to get back into the swing of things.
  6. Not Easy: The birth of your child was hardly a walk in the park, perhaps with threat of death. Everyone involved needs a little life affirmation.
  7. Make Me an Honest Wo/Man: You weren't married, but you're getting married now that there's a kiddo involved. It's your wedding night; make that count.
  8. Rambunctious Days: It's always go, go, go with your little one. A tiny break from it all wouldn't hurt.
  9. Long Nights: Sleeping together is tough when you have to get up every few hours.
  10. Get Away: Leave your bundle of joy with someone you trust and go on a nice parents' getaway.
  11. Need This: You haven't been with your partner for so long, you're craving them.
  12. Not in the Mood: Whether you don't feel particularly sexy these days or you really do have a headache, you'd just rather skip any intimacy.
  13. Inappropriate Places: You'd never expose your child to anything unseemly, but you two may find yourself alone in the nursery or in the back seat with the car seat.
  14. Encouragement: One of you isn't feeling so hot about your parenting skills; the other is being encouraging!
  15. Make Another: Only children can be so spoiled. You don't want your kid to be that way, so you'll get them a brother or sister.
  16. Can't Stay Away: Technically, you're not together. You only have to see each other to drop your kid off...or so you say.
  17. What I Saw in You: Maybe the spark hasn't been burning as hot lately, but suddenly, you see exactly what you saw in them the first time. Maybe even more.
  18. Not Old: As your kid(s) get older, you may feel like an old fogey. Time to remember what a stud you really are.
  19. Empty Nest: Kids are moved out. SEX IN EVERY ROOM AGAIN!
  20. WILDCARD

DON'T SEE YOU AS HUMAN shipping meme
When you think about it, things like “humanity” and “personhood” are really just points of view. So what if your body or your abilities don't exactly match up to the Homo Sapiens norm? That doesn't defy your sentiency nor your agency. Does your body, similar or not so similar to humans, negate your thoughts? Your will? Your feelings?

...your feelings for someone else?

Ah, that might be the catch. The person is a friend, a teammate, or even someone admired from far away. You're conflicted over them. You may even love them. The problem is, of course, not that they don't see you in that way in return. Well, part of it might be, but the biggest part as they don't even see you as human enough to consider in a romantic way. They could be friendly, kind, indifferent, or, worst of all, treat you like a pet. Perhaps they know about you having a different form, if you do have one, perhaps not. The pain comes from the fact that you don't even register.

What will you do? Pretend you feel nothing at all? Try to get them to notice you? Stop being foolish? Just because you're not human doesn't mean you don't have a heart to break. Choose carefully.

  HARDEST THING TO SAY MEME


Sometimes the hardest things to say are also the most important. It doesn't matter how much it scares you to do so, it's finally time to be honest.

- post as your character.
- others go to RNG and roll numbers 1-22 then respond setting up a scenario.
- respond and have fun!

01. I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE Unfortunately, you can't keep lying to your partner/friend/family anymore. You just don't feel the same for them anymore.
02. I WOULD KILL YOU The person who means so much to you has done something completely unforgivable and now it's time to make sure they know where they stand. You would kill them if you ever got the chance.
03. I LOVE YOU, BUT... A bittersweet love confession. You know you love this person more than anything, but you're not sure you can give them what they need.
04. I DON'T TRUST YOU No matter how you feel about this person, you really can't trust them anymore.
05. SACRIFICE You're going to sacrifice yourself, for the person you're talking with or for the good of all humanity. You want them to know the reasons and that there's no stopping you.
06. TROUBLE You're in trouble and you might not make it through. You need to let at least one person know how you feel before it's too late though.
07. CRIME CONFESSION You did something you weren't proud of and now it's time to admit it.
08. DEMONS We've all got our demons and we've all got our own personal nightmares we have to face, but this time? You can't hold it all back.
09. I'M PREGNANT... Now's not the best time for it maybe or maybe you're just nervous how your partner will react, but they need to hear it.
10. BETRAYAL You've betrayed this person and you have to tell them the truth, no more running from it
11. CHEATED You've been unfaithful and it's time to tell your lover.

13. AFRAID Something has you deathly afraid and you need to talk about it.
14. HELP ME You need someone to help you, bad. You can't do it alone anymore, you've tried.
15. I'M SORRY You said something or did something horrible and now it's time to ask for forgiveness.
16. YOU WERE A MISTAKE Sorry, but whoever you're talking to was the biggest mistake of your life or maybe it was just something you did together.
17. NOT WHO I SAY I AM You're so far from who they think you are, you need to finally tell the truth.
18. LET'S RUN AWAY You want to just get out, leave everything behind and be with this one person for the rest of your life.
19. ASHAMED Either you're ashamed of something they have done or something you did, either way you need to bring it up.
20. CAN'T REMEMBER The person standing in front of you looks so happy to see you, so relieved, but how do you tell them you can't remember a thing about them?
21. HOW COULD YOU You don't understand how they could treat you like they have, do what they have done when you've done nothing but be good to them.
22. YOUR CHOICE Either choose an option from above, mix and match, or make up your own idea.

 The Let's Fucking Cuddle Meme



action is fun and smut is nice and mysterious magical hijinks through space and time are the bomb diggity. and sometimes you just want to aggressively cuddle your friend/sibling/parent/pet/lover/acquaintance/this new person you are meeting now.

this meme is for just that: latching on and not letting go until that what/whoever has been cuddled.

how this works;

1. post your character with as much/little information as you want (name/series/preferences/whatever).
2. go to rng for a number for where and why the cuddles are happening. or just pick one.
3. respond to others.
4. cuddle. but like. really cuddle. no one is letting go until everyone is completely thoroughly cuddled.

a. where

1. by a heat source : because outside is cold but this fire/space heater/demon is warm and cosy and just right. winter isn't done yet, okay.
2. away from a heat source : wow going out into the snow during a rainstorm a million miles from the nearest blanket was a poor choice--but wait. there's snuggles.
3. a private place : maybe you're watching a movie on the couch, maybe you're catching up on the newspaper in the breakfast nook, maybe it doesn't matter because whatever you're about to be cuddled.
4. a public place : cuddle time waits for no man or no "more appropriate" setting sometimes. out in a park, in an airport, in the middle of a food court--the time for snuggles is now and other people be damned.
5. somewhere else : if somehow a place which is unrelated to heat and/or neither in or outside. even in such a place there can still be cuddles.

b. why

1. the sleepies - it's been a long day and all you want to do is close your eyes for a bit. do this by claiming someone as a cuddle you can sleep on.
2. bad weather - heavy rain, thunder, blizzard, monsoon; these are things which ruin plans. luckily, it cannot ruin cuddles.
3. because surprise - is your buddy working too much and needs a distraction? are you being ignored when you need a hug? does the love just need to be spread? whatever it is, they won't see it coming until they're being snuggled.
4. activity conducive - maybe you're watching a movie or reading a book or squished together in a train car or dancing to the point of exhaustion or waiting in line for a thing. it's just super easy to change whatever you're doing into being a pile of cuddles. so do it.
5. so emotion very love - it's totally platonic but still totally overwhelming. the love you have for this person just needs to be expressed, and only a clinging of cuddles will do. hug them. hug them now and also forever.
6. jeepers creepers - was it a spider in the washroom, a ghost in the attic, a bad dream, a figment of your imagination, an actual serial killer? probably all. probably a nightmare ghost spider serial killer breaking out of your imagination. clinging to someone might fix it.
7. there, there, little friend - sick in bed, just been dumped or having some other sort of crappy day, you need someone to wrap their arms around you and make everything go away.
8. that other thing - whatever, you do what you want. you go, cuddle friend. you do your thing.

The Sexual Frustration Meme

You can only take so much.

Short fuse, long fuse, no fuse, you've been burned up and you're about to explode. No one could blame you, especially since there's lust (or more) involved. Of course you're going to go off like TNT at some point. You see, the person who is your object of desire doesn't see you in that way at all. The problem? They don't believe you're interested in them...or interested in anyone at all! They're either a) innocent enough that they don't see you wanting them, b) not seeing you as a sexual entity because you're too young, too inexperienced, etc, or worst of all c) doubting of your masculinity/femininity. To add insult to injury, it seems they're intent on teasing you, whether they realize it or not. Every moment spent with them becomes harder to bear - no pun intended - and they become more and more alluring. It's driving you insane.

You're a wo/man, damn it! And now, you're going to put this all to an end. You're going to prove yourself and show them just what they've been putting you through. You'll prove yourself. Actually, you're going to blow their minds, or more accurately, fuck their brains out. Then they'll get the full picture, won't they? You'll be the one to tease from now on.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character, preferences, and whether they're the teased or the tease. It's pretty likely that most characters could be both in different situations.
  • Reply to others.
TYPE OF TEASE

  1. Innocent: Hmm? Why are you looking at them like that? What did they do?
  2. Indifferent: You're so pedestrian, it doesn't even matter what they do in front of you.
  3. Wicked: They know you're attracted to, but they don't think you'll ever act. Because of this, they'll push you as hard as they think they can. They can get away with that.

The Almost Kiss Meme

Your lips have never touched theirs, but God, you've wanted them to. For so long, you've wanted to kiss them, to take their face in your hands and just smash your mouths together. Teeth hitting teeth doesn't matter. It would be so beautiful. Yet things keep getting in the way, and you haven't kissed them at all, not even once.

Now is not any different.

The only difference, actually, is that you're so close, through accident or through built up nerves. You're so close, you're going to do it, you're so close...

...close, but no cigar. Damn it.

  • It's what it says.
  • Characters are almost kissing.
  • Almost.
  • Maybe they do kiss at some point during the thread.

 We Found Love in a Hopeless Place

Had you seen her today
You might know how it feels
To be struck to the bone
In a moment of breathless delight!
Had you been there today
You might also have known
How the world may be changed
In just one burst of light!
And what was right seems wrong
And what was wrong seems right!

It's no paradise you live in. Tensions are constantly high, danger may be just around the corner, and your well-executed plans more often than not fail. Whether it be a war-torn world, a time of political discord, or merely (merely?) the situation you find yourself in by being you, there's one thing not on your mind: love.

That all changes once you see them, and your life is changed. As you get to know this person, survival or success seems to no longer be your only concern. Your world is molding, shifting, integrating them into your priorities. What will you do when you realize this? Accept it with gusto and hope to be with them forever? Distance yourself because you cannot be distracted?

  YOU ARE NOT MY ENEMY
A slave/reluctant master romance(?) meme

The seed of the idea has existed for ages, perhaps as long as there has been the concept of enemies among humanity - so, a long time. It goes as follows:

You are in an unfamiliar and dangerous territory, most likely the home of your enemy. Whether there is a war raging in the background or just barely-bandaged hostility is irrelevant. Your safety does not depend on that. Instead, you are an example. Your freedom is forfeit. A prisoner is what you are...no, you're a slave. And you're given to someone for service or for entertainment.

You're prepared to hate your new "master." Who wouldn't? Slowly, however, you realize that things aren't as they seem. Your master is no cruel owner; in fact, they don't even want to own you. But they are as much of a pawn in this scheme as you are. Still, they show you kindness and their subtle rebellion fans the flames of your own. Over time, your feelings towards them begin to change. It may be some sort of Stockholm Syndrome or it may be a true emotion, yet either way, something fragile and perhaps even beautiful is growing between the the two of you. Could this be love? If it is or if it isn't, there's one certainty: if you are found out, it will be the end, most likely, of you both.


This is the situation your character finds themselves in. Are they master? Slave? How do they accept their fate? Their new feelings towards their "master"/"slave"? All of this is up to you, as well as how this all ends for the pair.

Of course, there's a precedent for it ending badly and bloody, for obvious reasons.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character, preferences, and other information like any character info, what position your character is likely to fill, or smut/lack thereof preferences.
  • Reply to others.
  • Feel free to use the below prompts and ideas.
POSITIONS

  1. Slave
  2. Reluctant Master
ATTITUDE

  1. Willing: You'll take the past of least resistance and try to keep your head down.
  2. Unwilling: Well, "unwilling" is sort of implied in general, but you are especially rebellious and refuse to be tamed. You throw any kindness you receive back in the giver's face. When you begin to feel something for your "master," you reject that as much as you possibly can.
ENDING

  1. Good: The idealized, happy ending. You both get away from the system that keeps you chained and live freely together.
  2. Bad: The realistic ending. Your little affair is unearthed and your heads end up on the chopping block.

SAY IT ♦ AGAIN
because words are sexy, too.

Things were already starting to get hot and heavy to begin with. Clothes were coming off, lips were parting, tongues were darting, and hands were going exactly where they should. Then, they say that...

...and you just loose it, in the best of ways. What they said could be anything. Your name, adoration, a confession, dirty talk, admitting their submission, so on and so forth. You've simply always wanted to hear them say that. Whether they let those words slip out on accident and are reluctant to own up to what they said or it was a calculated decision on their part, you have to hear it again. And again. And again. Have to bring your partner enough ecstasy to loosen those lips? You'll do it and enjoy every moment of it.

  • Comment with your character and preferences.
  • You're also going to probably want to put what your character "wants to hear" if that's the role you want to play. No need for specifics, just broad strokes. IE, "someone telling him he's strong and powerful" or "an admission that she is the best lover they've ever had" or "he's not a monster."

the after glow meme

Oh, everyone has fun playing what happens between the sheets, but don’t we forget about the after glow? What happens after the passion fades and kisses become softer and slower again? This part can be really lovely or it can be awkward and embarrassing. It might even lead to a round two. If you two (or more) aren’t in love, is it the end of an evening or will it make you wonder why you didn’t do this sooner? Is there any guilt or regrets? Or do you wake up to sunlight peeking through the curtains, turn off the alarm, and go back to cuddling?

adopted fiancé
There is a centuries-old tradition in Japan of well-to-do families with no or only female children to adopt a male heir to carry on the family name and business. In cases where there are only daughters, the male is usually a non-relative who takes the adopting family's surname and marries the (oldest) daughter.


Your family is in trouble. It's at a dead end, with no one to possibly carry on the line and the family name. Well, there's you, but you don't really count. At least, you can't do those tasks alone. That's why, when you were young, your family adopted an heir: someone promising, yet less fortunate, alone in this world, or with less prospects on their own. When both of you are ready, you're to be married. In fact, that time is approaching - or, oh, it's already here! So, how do you feel about all of this? Was it awkward growing up with someone you knew you'd eventually spend your life with in that way? And how you relate to them has to have been shaped by your upbringing. Surely, you view them as a brother or a sister.

...unless you actually do have feelings for them, and matter turns out to be much more difficult than you'd think with a pre-prepared spouse! You don't want it to be a relationship of convenience, despite the fact that it's always been that.

  • Comment with your character, canon, preferences, etc.
  • Comment to others, using the RNG to determine your character's role and the prompt.
role

  1. the true born
  2. the adopted
prompts

  1. confused: what they are to you is still a mystery to both of you.
  2. ideal love: you two have the best relationship one could imagine, but is it as perfect as it seems on the surface?
  3. fake it to make it: pretend you want this, pretend you love them like that, and maybe it will come true.
  4. forbidden: you're supposed to get married for appearances only. any actual intimacy and love is forbade by your family...yet here you are.
  5. like brother and sister: you can't do this! you still see them as your annoying but lovable little sibling.
  6. someone else: there's a teensy dilemma here: both of you are involved with other people on the side, outside your familial obligations.
  7. don't get along: this set-up should work out well, except for the fact that you've always gotten along like cats and dogs.
  8. one-sided: one of you is utterly smitten, always has been. the other? jury's still out.

✖ I'll Look Out for Them ✖
a "secondhand" shipping meme

They were your best friend, your comrade, or even someone you simply owed a debt to. Or maybe, unfortunately, you were the one that put them in danger that lead to their demise. No matter what they were to you in life, in their death, you feel as if you have one duty to them. They left behind someone, someone they loved more than anything. This was their significant other, yet you promised your dying companion (or you discerned yourself) that you would look after them. Take care of them, maybe, but at least look after them; it's the least you can do.

It will not be easy, especially not at first. The one left behind will be grieving, of course, and, so, perhaps, will you. There may be some contention, depending on the situation, and, if you did not know each other well before, some awkwardness. Still, in this time where there is nothing and no one to cling to, when the world has been thrown off its axis for them, both of you may find a sort of comfort and solace in this new routine.

That will not last, either.

Soon, feelings begin to change towards each other. Edges soften, people are seen in a new light. A small warmth blossoms between the two of you in this cold world. It takes root and grows, and grows, and grows...

Until you're left with questions and possibly even guilt at this arrangement. How much of this is real and how much is the grieving process? Are you just a replacement for the one they lost?

Is this what their lost love would have wanted?

✖ Comment with your character, canon, and preferences, including preferred role.
✖ Reply to others and use the RNG.
✖ Feel free to be as liberal with the interpretations of pretty much anything in this meme. Make it AU. Make up somebody they both know. Have them be total strangers. There's options for everything.

  1. Promise ✖ You told them you would take care of their lover, no matter what. You intend to follow through with that.
  2. Close ✖ What are friends for if not taking care of unfinished business?
  3. Debt Owed ✖ Kindness or favor has to be repaid, even if it's an investment in someone else.
  4. Atonement ✖ Whether or not you particularly cared for the person who's gone is irrelevant. You just need to make up for past sins.
  5. No Good ✖ You're taking care of the one left behind, but not out of good intentions. There may be ulterior motives here - no, there are definitely ulterior motives here. Or maybe this is the one good thing you've done in your life.
  6. Guilt ✖ It's your fault that you're here and their significant other isn't. It's a paltry repayment.
  7. Bearer of Bad News ✖ You can't blame them for wanting to shoot the messenger. You are telling them their lover is dead.
  8. Related ✖ In days past, the living partner would be cared for by their dead partner's family. As a sibling or cousin of the deceased, you want to continue that tradition and take care of "family."
  9. Wo/man Up ✖ Actually, their lover isn't dead, they're just dead to you, unable or unwilling to take care of business. You're stepping up.
  10. Friends ✖ You were all friends before, so it's only natural for you to want to look out for them now.
  11. Derisive ✖ ...this is the person they loved so much? This is who you're supposed to protect? Pathetic.
  12. Resentful ✖ You can never forgive them. They're the reason your lover is dead, no matter how they treat you.
  13. What They Saw in You ✖ You're beginning to see why someone would love them, how they'd want to give up their old ways and change. It's almost...nice.
  14. Warming Up ✖ If you didn't get along at first, the claws are being put away now. It's better to at least be civil, isn't it?
  15. Still in Danger ✖ Whatever killed one half of the pair is still out there, and the other half is in danger themselves.
  16. Other Complications ✖ Not only did your mutual acquaintance leave behind a lover, but also children. You find yourself getting closer and closer to them, too, even if they aren't yours.
  17. Compromised ✖ You can't look after them with a level head. You love them.
  18. Can't Love Again ✖ You've lost before. You can't risk losing again, can you?
  19. Out of the Dark ✖ One or both of you find yourselves in a hole. You can barely eat, hardly sleep, and depression has taken hold of you. Together, though, you may find the light and a way out of despair.
  20. First Time ✖ Simply what it says. You two have taken your relationship to the next level.
  21. Changed ✖ Before, you were bitter. Hard. Jaded. Now, helping someone - specifically, helping this person - has brought a new kind of joy into your life. You could get used to it. Easily and dangerously used to it, to be brutally honest. You shouldn't allow it.
  22. Living Together ✖ You can take care of them more throughly if you're in the same place as they are, obviously.
  23. Hidden Jealousy ✖ When their lover was alive, you were jealous of everything they had - including the fact that they had the person you're looking after now. Admitting this may make you feel like the most awful person in the world.
  24. Secrets Revealed ✖ Eventually, your involvement with the death of their beloved will come out, and they will never be able to look at you the same way.
  25. Dependent ✖ Replacing one unhealthy habit with another, you've become utterly dependent on your relationship with your caretaker, your guardian, your lover.
  26. Won't Be a Replacement ✖ You can't help but feel as if you're merely serving as a stand in for what they've lost. It's understandable, yet you still can't allow yourself to be that and only that.
  27. Not Really Gone ✖ What is dead should stay dead, but what if who you thought was gone isn't really out of the picture? Will they be happy with finding someone else so cozy and in love with their special someone?
  28. The Same Mistakes ✖ You're falling into the same patterns that lead to their death. Will you meet the same fate?
  29. Who's Helping Who ✖ You think you're taking care of them and helping them through their loss. Is that the case? But who's never been this happy before in their life?
  30. Move On ✖ It's time to put ghosts to rest and let old demons go. You can't let your life become a graveyard.
  31. Tragedy ✖ The ending is unhappy or even deadly for both of you.
  32. Happy Ending ✖ In contrast to the above, you're both able to live as together as happily as you possibly can, whatever can be allowed.

Teach Me How to Love Smut Meme
You probably know how to have sex. The motions and mechanics are intrinsic, even if you aren't terribly good or experienced at them. But do you know how to make love? Those are two incredibly different things.

Perhaps this is your first time in general, or you very easily could have had no love to spare before. Cold, rough, love-em-and-leave-em, inopportune...no matter what the case was, those times weren't ripe for any affection. Now, though, it's different, and you're not exactly sure how to respond. You want to make your partner feel amazing. You just don't know the best way to go about it. A little direction from them is needed, and you're intent on your goal enough that you can swallow your pride and ask - "teach me how to love."

You may even be teaching each other.

  • Comment with your character, your canon, your preferences, and which side you'd like to play, if applicable (the one teaching, the one learning, either, both).

Catastrophic Lover's Fight Meme


You two love each other more than either could imagine, and that fact is what makes it hurt. You've probably argued before, lover's spats, but nothing like this. Nothing has ever been like this. Emotions are naked wire, and no matter how you feel about them in terms of the big picture, you just can't stand to see their face. And no one in their right mind could blame you. They've hurt you, heart and soul, and you're devastated - if not furious, even if you're not usually that kind of person. They said things that cut like a knife, and you yourself may have let out some words you'd like to take back. But secrets have been revealed, terrible truths have come to light, and tempers flared beyond repair. At the moment, it seems like whatever you had is ended.

Will whatever love you had mend this fault, or are the wounds too deep to fix?

  • Comment with your character, canon, preferences, and so on. You'll probably also want to include what your character's berserk buttons are, why they'd be fighting, how they'd react, etc. Be sure to warn for potential physical or sexual violence and other triggers, if applicable.

The Last or Only Time
There's much said about first times. Such an event has an endless potential in its romance, almost poetically, after all. What will come from it? Love? If the dreamers of the world could make their hopes a reality, it would be that: a love eternal. But we don't live in that kind of reality.

Nobody says much about last times, though they happen just as much as first times. For this meme, characters are having their last or only time intimately. The whys aren't exactly important - it could be because of duty, circumstance, mutual agreements, an oncoming danger, or somewhere in between; what is important is the time you can spend together. Or will that time be too painful, knowing that this will be the last sexual encounter with them you ever have?

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character, preferences, and how much angst you'd like to indulge in. You can also mention reasons why this would be your character's last encounter with whomever should tag you.
  • Reply to others, and RNG for your prompt!
PROMPTS

  1. First & Only: To be with them has been a desire, one you're only getting to sate. Unfortunately, this won't become a regular thing.
  2. Last: You've been together for a long time, yet this is the end of the line.
  3. Incoming Doom: This warrants its own category. It's going to be the last time for anything, because either one are both of you go to your death.
  4. CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE

the enchanted forest meme

Oh, fairy tales. Do they remind us that no matter what happens, things can still turn out alright and your prince will come, or do they tap into your primal fears and remind you of what and what not to do to avoid an untimely end? Do they reflect the human condition and subconscious, or are they just clever stories to amuse adults and keep kids up at night? Or are they as sweet as they seem? Who knows. It's time to find out.

prompts

There might be triggers, depending on how the prompts are interpreted.

one → small quest it might be a rare herb or a cup of magic water, but someone’s life depends upon you going through these woods and getting it. will you find it right away? have to battle a witch for it? or maybe you don’t want to succeed at all.

two → lost how did you manage to get lost in these woods? you had that map, right? how did you even get to this part of the country? whatever happened, you’re stuck until someone helps you out. if they want you out in the first place.

three → chased these woods weren’t exactly the place you wanted to go, but you had no choice. innocent or guilty of a crime, or a victim of circumstance, these woods might buy you some time… wait. was that a wolf in the distance?

four → the old castle sometimes when you’re lost or wandering about, you see something really amazing or unusual. or something you were never meant to find. like that old abandoned castle people have been whispering about…

five → passing through the forest has a well-worn path that no one ever strays from, lest something magical happens to them. you’ve traveled it often enough, but just because you’re on the path doesn’t mean you’ll be left alone.

six → refuge it might be dark and cold, or entirely welcoming, but it’s the only place those nasty goons or insane villagers won’t follow you. but what exactly is keeping everyone else away from here? or did you want into some danger yourself?

seven → chance encounter it’s a fairy! no, wait, that was just an ogre. an ogre?! from sorcerers to talking deer, you can meet anything in an enchanted forest. so will you meet someone who wants to help you, or will they want to eat you instead?

eight → danger this forest doesn’t like newcomers, and the creatures don’t like humans. its ways are old and strange, and just because you’ve been able to enter it doesn’t mean you’ll be spared. no one likes trespassers, after all.

nine → abandoned for whatever reason, you were abandoned here a long time ago. this is the only place you have ever known, and you’d rather not leave. not even for that prince who has come to take you back home, long lost princess.

ten → large quest the forest might be the end of your quest, or it might be a large part of it. you’ve been fighting hard for a long time to rescue the princess or defeat the wizard, and this forest isn’t going to scare or defeat you. will it?

eleven → spell trapped in an ancient oak tree? put under a sleeping curse? or maybe you’re the one who is causing that mischief from that little cottage you’ve hidden in the old forest people are learning to become wary of these days.

twelve → magical not all enchanted forests are scary! some of them are filled with sunlight, fairies, pretty little birds, and all those big-eyed creatures, all of them singing along with you, having a wonderfully good time.

THE LOOK OF LOVE SMUT MEME

You know the exact moment when it comes up in the movies or on television. The hero or heroine is looking at their companion, whom they've been around for a while now but perhaps not always been on the easiest of terms with, depending, and you can see it right in their gaze: their love. They're falling and falling hard, it's obvious from their face. They just can't keep the softness from their eyes, the fondness from playing at their lips; everyone can read that book. In the stories, this look - and the subsequent realization of the feelings that caused it - can come at any time, though usually it comes after the pair have been incredibly close or one half of the pairing is looking incredibly beautiful or handsome. You can't help it when they're just so lovable!

This meme is similar, with one marked difference: instead of pure, innocent intentions as often comes in the motion pictures and television shows, this "look of love" has something carnal to it, as well, no matter how demure that may be. You don't just want to be with them forever and always, on some level, you also want to BE with them, if you know what we mean.

What direction players can take with this idea is up to them. The "look" can appear during a rather perfect, romantic, or cute moment as it often does in media, or in contrast to a typical Disney-esque moment, during sex. Wouldn't it be inopportune for an expression of adoration to appear during what's supposed to be a no-strings-attached fucking session? Huh, that would be pretty embarrassing. No matter what comes first, the look or the smut, there's a few questions that bear asking.

Will the character recognize their realization as a realization at all? Will their feelings be returned? Will there be a confession? What about the mood? If the other character even notices how they're being looked at, could it be something the don't want? Most importantly, there are some characters who tightly guard their expressions and, if they feel emotions, don't let them show. If they suddenly have the feelings seeping through, how will they respond to that?

To be fair, it is a truly magical moment.

the fragile & small in my arms smut meme
It doesn't matter if your lover is as tough as nails dipped in molten steel or as weak as ripped tissue; for the first time, as they're in your arms, you notice how delicate and tiny they are. Now, if they're actually small (or smaller than you) and frail is not the issue, yet they seem all of those things to you now.

And despite the fact that this thought should disturb you, at the very least make you want to protect them from everything this world could threaten. It doesn't. Actually, it just makes them all the more attractive to you, for better or worse. You want sex even more, too, whether it be tender and gentle or insanely rough, to break this precious thing you have in your hands.

  • How you use this meme and what kinks you can get from it are up to you! Depending on the character, you can play anything from sweet fluff to size kink to corruption to protectiveness/ownership to awkward first times to BDSM to topping from the bottom to unexpected role reversals. Just be sure to be upfront and say what you'd be interested in.

 The LEAP THROUGH TIME Shipping Meme

You're in love. If you came to that conclusion easily or kicking and screaming, it all leads to the same point. You're head over heels, so shouldn't the rest of what you need to do be obvious? They return your feelings, check. The relationship could be wonderful, check. Why not take that final leap and commit?

There's one problem. A big one, actually, one that could throw everything into a tailspin. You're not from the same time as them, maybe not even the same world or timeline. Meeting the person you've come to care so much about has all been a fluke, as you were thrown into their lives by some kind of temporal accident and you've always intended to go back home. You still intend to find a way back.

Don't you?

You can't get comfortable here. You don't belong in this time. Whether your present is their far future or you're from the past, it isn't right. And who knows what damage you could cause?

Still, you're in love, and the consequences of your actions aren't exactly at your highest priority, or they're quickly falling from that peak. The ramifications may get even hazier if, say, you know the fate of the person you've developed feelings for, whether through personal experience or public knowledge. It would be extremely tempting to try and save them, wouldn't it? But you can't. You shouldn't.

You don't belong here. You have to find your way back.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character and preferences. You may also want to include where and when your character is from and give a short blurb about it.
  • Tag other characters.
  • Feel free to play anything that falls under this umbrella. Maybe your character has just found themselves in a new time, or they're having loving ~emotions~ towards this person they've met, there's a culture clash, there's seriousness about how they need to get home, there's fun, or anything else. Possibly, you could even play the tearful moment when they're leaving - or the joyful when they've decided to leave their time and come back to be with their lover!

The Emotional Wreck Smut Meme


Everything seems like its falling apart. Whatever has gotten you so upset, be it a tragedy or a subtle moment built up over time, you can't hold back your emotions - even if you've always previously been a pro at that. You're angry, you're devastated, or both: an absolute mess. In one last ditch effort, you have to reach out to someone. Anyone!

That "anyone" cares for you enough, at least, to reach back for you and try and comfort you in the best way they can. For better or for worse, that best way is through sex. Intimacy will perhaps quell your emotions...or maybe it will make it worse.

  • Comment with your character and preferences. Specify if you'd like to play the one needing comfort or the one giving it or either.

the mutual captivity dependency (romance) meme

No matter how hard you fought, how subtly or overtly you rebelled, or how many times you tried to escape, you ended up at this point all the same: you're a prisoner. Perhaps you're just a regular, run of the mill captive, perhaps a hostage, a science experience, a weapon to be used, yet, no matter what, you're not free.

But you're also not alone.

There's someone else confined along with you, who you met through your mutual imprisonment. The only thing you two may have in common is that you're both trapped here - and that's enough. The two of you grow close (it seems you're closer to them than you've ever been to anyone, but that could just be the situation); soon, something begins to start between you, tiny and delicate. You can't speak to what that something is, not in a place like this, but you know you want it to last. They are another reason to keep going.

Captivity, of course, has a way of stripping everything from you, including reasons to live. Surely, it is only a matter of time before this small - and still somehow world encompassing - comfort is taken from you...

...no. Not this time. They've taken all you have, right down to your freedom, and it stops now. You won't let the person who's become most precious to you in this hell be stolen away.

No matter what.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character and preferences. Are you open to AUs and assumed CR? What are your limits? Given the subject of the meme, there's likely to be triggering material here. Do you prefer very dark fare or a light at the end of the tunnel scenario?
  • There's one prompt that could be smut, but feel free to play it in others if you're open to it. However, I'm going to be posting this as a smut meme on TLH later this week.

PROMPTS

  1. Prisoner of War: Who's side were you on? Or were you just an innocent civilian caught in the mire?

  2. Hostage: Take heart. You're worth more alive than dead.

  3. Scientific Experiment: What an interesting specimen you are. You will have to be tested.

  4. False Charges: One or both of you are here because of lies told against you; eventually, though, you may begin to believe that your worth is truly that low.

  5. Do the Dirty Work: Your powers are useful, maybe even enough to use you as an unwilling assassin.

  6. For Different Reasons: You're imprisoned for different reasons, and you still draw close. After all, does it matter when you're both stuck?

  7. Most Unforgivable Sin: One of you is a prisoner in the most basic of senses: hostage, slave, what have you. The other? Well, it's much more complicated. The other is a person forced against their will to be a lover, spouse, or sex slave of those in charge. What if that other does find someone they actually love? It could cost you both your heads.

  8. Equalized: Maybe you were in different social strata before, but now, you're both common dirt.

  9. Should Be in Charge: One of you has a higher ranking in the system. Will you use your power to manipulate them or to skew things in their favor.

  10. Beneficial: You both have something the other wants. It's a mutually beneficial set-up, and that's all it needs to be. At least, that's how it starts.

  11. Love at First Sight: You never thought you'd see someone like them here, and maybe it's because you've been cut off for some long, but you're feeling so smitten, even if that's usually not you.

  12. Needy: You're not cut out for this. Almost immediately, you reach out for anyone who can offer to take you under their wing.

  13. Won't Fall: To you, it's all to keep yourself sane. You won't actually fall in love, not in a million years.

  14. Traumatized: It's hard to care for someone so broken, someone who's seen such terrible things, but you do it anyway.

  15. Brainwashed: Before you met them, you never doubted your masters. But now...

  16. Flower of Hell: Such a beautiful ray of light should not belong here in this darkness. Cruelty will snuff if out. You don't want that to happen.

  17. Kindness: They showed you an unprecedented act of charity and selflessness. You feel drawn to them.

  18. Tend to Wounds: It's easy to get hurt while captive. At least you don't have to wait for your wardens to fix you up. You have someone kind or dedicated enough to tend to you and you alone.

  19. Anything to Protect You: They can't protect themselves, so you'll do it for them in any way you can.

  20. Using Them: Really, you don't care for them. You just want their protection and their help. At least, that's what you keep thinking.

  21. Burned Before: You had another prisoner before that you loved, and they were sent away or killed. You want let down your guard again.

  22. Human Contact: You've been deprived for so long, you crave any attention.

  23. Can't Touch: You're in cells, kept apart. You can never touch.

  24. Barely See You: There kept away from you and everyone else for most of the day, but you still have feelings for them.

  25. Separate: They're to be taken away, perhaps even to another outpost. What will you do?

  26. Frustration: How long has it been since you've been with someone? You may take any opportunity to get some privacy.

  27. Have Hope: You don't want your partner to lose faith, so despite your own beliefs, you'll stay positive.

  28. Promises: You keep telling them things, swearing that you'll follow through and you'll both be okay. Inside, a part of you may fear it's all hollow words.

  29. Escape: You're going to leave, but not without them.

  30. Punishment: For your crimes, both of you will be punished. How much will your affections mean then?

  31. Forced to Torture: Not only does your closest person have to be tortured, but you're the one who has to do it.

  32. All a Sham: The truth is out. They were only playing you. In fact, they may

  33. Turncoats: Your captors have pitted you against each other.

  34. Fight: You may argue or even come to blows, yet soon enough, you'll be wanting to forgive and forget because there's no one else to look out for you.

  35. Jealousy: They're all you have here, so you're not inclined to share.

  36. Taken by Another: Someone else captured here with you all saw what you had and decided they would steal away your significant other.

  37. Know How to Break You: Your tormenters know they can't hurt you with torture, but if they hurt the one you care for? That's another story.

  38. Death: There's no need for prisoners who won't keep on the straight and narrow. You've pushed the envelope too many times, and now, execution is the easiest option for your captors.

  39. Finally Free: The two of you have finally made it out alive. Suddenly, in the light of day, things seem different. Was all of this, all of these feelings...were they true or out of some desperate need?

by land, air, or sea: a waiting meme

You haven’t seen them for a while. You’ve been waiting for them to come home for what feels like forever, and you’ve finally gotten that call or letter. Or maybe you’re about to take your own journey—you’re leaving home for the first time or returning from a vacation without the lover you set off with, and your only company is the person waiting next to you at the train station. Travel would certainly be convenient if you could leave as soon as you were ready, but that’s almost never the case. You might as well make use of the company you have while you wait and make the best of things, alright?

to play;

1) post with your character, series, and any preferences
2) be good and respectful to each other!
3) tag around

Here are some prompts to help you get started, but you’re encouraged to make your own!

1. Train Station: You’re waiting at a crowded train station. Train travel is a lot of fun for some people, but it’s also not everyone’s cup of tea. Are you waiting to take that big trip, or are you waiting for someone to come back?
2. Airport: Waiting at the airport causes anxiety for a lot of people. Not everyone loves to fly; some are terrified by it. Are you getting ready to take a big trip, or are you waiting for someone you care about to come home?
3. Dock: Sea travel isn’t the most common way of traveling anymore, but there are still people who do it. Are you going to wave goodbye from the dock and wish a bon voyage, or are you waiting for your very first cruise?
4. Waiting for a loved one: You know the person you’re waiting for. Maybe it’s someone you care deeply about. Maybe it’s someone you don’t care deeply about anymore. Either way, you have to welcome them. Hopefully things go well.
5. Making new friends: You’re traveling alone, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Instead of turning up the volume on your iphone, why not talk to the people around you? You never know what you’ll learn.
6. Leave: You’re about to come home on military leave. You haven’t been home in a while—things are going to be different. Or maybe it’s shore leave instead, where you get to spend some time with your feet on the ground instead of the boat. Who knows what will happen?
7. Big Delay: You’re completely ready for everything, but an unfortunate delay has occurred. Maybe you’re stuck waiting for a train overnight now, or the plane you’re waiting for is grounded for an undetermined amount of time. Try to make the best of it.
8. Traveling together: You’ve made a new friend or come traveling with an old one, and you’re waiting to get on the plane, train, or boat and start your vacation. Or maybe you’re coming home, waiting to land or reach the shore.

mermaids & land dwellers
a possibly (au) mermaid ❝shipping❞ meme

Few fantastical creatures have captured the imaginations of those of us stuck in the mundane quite like mermaids. It's understandable: the ocean provides an endless canvas for us. Who knows what may live in those deep, seemingly endless depths? There's something intriguing about the mermaid, too, as a being that exists between two worlds. Beautiful human up top, dangerously alien down below, a mix between the comforting and the unknown. Such a combination is all very alluring, speaking perfectly of both the sense of freedom and adventure and and the impending doom offered by the high seas.

Because of the mystery and excitement provided by mermaids, people have been considering what the relationships between those who live on land and those who dwell in the sea would be like. For as long as there have been mer-tales, there have been stories of lucky or unlucky seafarers who earn the attention of mermaids. In some cautionary tales, merfolk are said to be little more than sirens who relish in driving sailors to their doom, luring them to the waters with gorgeous songs so that ships may be crashed, blood spilt, and flesh rend to fill the bellies of sea-demons. In other, more optimistic tales, there are lonely mermaids who fall in love with sailors, fishermen, and princes and will do anything to be with their objects of affections, even if it means turning to sea foam. Of course, earning a mermaid's love may not be better than becoming their prey; after all, in their ignorance of the children of earth, they may pull a person under the water and forget that air is a necessity for some.

Perhaps you are a human or other offspring of the land who has grown up with the tales of mermaids. You know that caution must be taken should you go on the ocean, lest you become nothing more than a meal. If you were in that situation, you would never fall for the merfolk's charms. However, that's so much easier said than done.

On the other hand, you could be a mermaid. Whether you are "good" or "bad" depends entirely on upbringing, just like with anyone else. Finally, you've come upon a land dweller. Will you be infatuated with them, look at them as a sweet morsel, or be more scared of them than they are of you?

how to play;
- Comment with your character and preferences. This meme allows for characters to be the one who lives on land or the mermaid. Feel free to do a mermaid AU for your character!
- Reply to others. Use the RNG to get your prompt.

prompts;
1.Good: Everything said about merfolks is wrong. They are reclusive, but not evil. Especially not this one. Maybe they even saved you. No matter what, they love you, absolutely. And, were you to be honest, it was love at first sight on your end, too. But that doesn't mean you can be together...at least, not easily.
2. Bad: Come, jolly sailor bold. Come into the arms of a mermaid, and you will not regret it. They will hold you, and you cannot resist, even as you're dashed against the rock.
3. Wild: Good and evil cannot be applied to mermaids here, for they are like any other wild creature, more beast than man. Yet the more they're exposed to the kindness of humans or others who live on land, the more fond they grow towards it - and those who show them that kindness.
4. Ignorant: The mermaid's intentions are good, yet he or she doesn't realize what they could do to hurt their land dweller lover.
5. The Mermaid Dilemma: What can be done if someone wants to do more with a mermaid than give them kisses or sweet words? Not much, it seems. At first glance, that is, though who knows what can happen if one puts their mind to it.
6. Not What Was Expected: Beauty is always expected of a mermaid, but what if such a creature looked more like this? Who could care for such a beast? Well, there's still charm there, and with enough personality, appearances can be looked past.

The "You Won't Hurt Me" Meme
Power pulses through your veins or strength through every muscle in your body. Whether your ability is above-average physical prowess or some kind of arcane magic you can wield, you are a gifted individual. Or maybe not. Maybe you're just an average Joe or Jane, your lover just seems so tiny and frail next to you. There's an considerable size difference and it makes things difficult. Whatever the case may be, there's always a part of you that's afraid you could hurt your partner in a fit of passion, were you to let go.

So you don't. You hold back, trying to be more gentle than you ever would. The problem is, however, they don't want to be held with kid gloves. They just can't seem to direct you into getting the hint.

Most likely, they'll have to tell you - or show you themselves.

The Florence Nightingsmut Meme
You found them all banged up, bruised and bloody, and you couldn't not take them in. How could you not? They may even be on death's door! So you put on your best Good Samaritan and you patch them up to health, regardless of how willing or unwilling or grateful or ungrateful they are. They'll appreciate it...eventually.

In fact, appreciation may come in the form of a bond, a bond that grows deeper, and deeper, and deeper, until there's another kind of healing going on. Perhaps there's something inside of them that needs mending, and only your bond made physical can do that. You've already opened up your time and your home to them. What's one more thing to make sure they're well?

And, though you may not realize or admit to it, you need this, too.

  the “CAME BACK WRONG” meme
 

When we miss people, we want them back, and we want everything to be exactly the same as it was. But that’s not always possible. People change, whether for the better, or for the worse. People come back different. Maybe it’s due to unforeseen circumstances, maybe something terrible or wonderful happened to them, maybe something went wrong.

Either way, whoever you wanted to see again, isn’t quite the same as the last time you saw them.


HOW TO PLAY:

● Post with your character(s). ●
● Include your preferences (returning, waiting, bringing someone back, etc.). ●
● Comment to others if you so desire. ●
● Roll or pick a scenario, or come up with one of your own. ●
● Have fun! ●

Warning: This meme may contain dark themes, death, and violence.


CAME BACK FROM WHERE?


The Dead.
Someone you love is dead, and you just can’t take it anymore, so you dig out your ancient black magic texts to bring them back. But something’s not quite right... they’re not all there, or they’re a monster. Something is really wrong here....

The Lab.
Wherever they were, they were used in experiments. Those experiments changed them. They’re back now, but it’s not the same. They’re different. They went through something.

The Future.
Someone you know has just come back in time from the future, and man, is it different. How they’ve changed. What could have made them become this way? How have things gone in the future to bring this about?

The Hospital.
Something was wrong with them, whether serious or not. They had to spend some time getting better. Now they’re out, but are they really better? Something seems a bit off, a bit different....

The War.
They went off to fight for freedom, justice, love, what have you. Now they’re back, just like you’ve been waiting for. Only they’ve changed. They’ve seen some stuff, man. Heavy stuff. Or maybe something wonderful. Either way, it’s not the same.

Abroad.
They’re off studying in another country, teaching in another country. They moved due to family or career obligations. That’s over now though, and they’re moving back. But time away can do things to a person.

The Store.
They just went to the store down the street. A quick candy run. They’ve been gone for fifteen minutes. But man, those fifteen minutes changed them. Something happened to them out there.

Choose Your Own Adventure.
Mix and match any of the above. Come up with something of your own. Think of something I didn’t? The possibilities are endless!


 

CHANGED HOW?

Monstrous.
Whether brought back from the dead, or catching a zombie virus while out on a walk, they’ve come back as a monster. Something not quite what they used to be.

Dead Inside.
They don’t seem to have the life that they used to. They’re quiet, withdrawn. They might not even talk or have any personality at all. Maybe they’re just a drone. Maybe they're dead outside, too.

Traumatized.
Whatever they went through traumatized them. They can’t talk about it, they have panic attacks. They wake up screaming. They flinch when you touch them.

Stepford Wives.
It seems at first like nothing’s wrong. They’re back, and perfectly happy. A little too happy, even. Way too happy. It’s getting kind of creepy how happy they are....

Jaded.
They’re not traumatized, but they’re definitely bitter and cynical. They don’t believe in hope anymore. Life has changed them.

Cold and Distant.
They used to be your best friend, the love of your life, your soulmate. But now they seem to want nothing to do with you. You have nothing to talk about, no common ground between you anymore.

Wildcard.
Mix and match any of the above, come up with your own bizarre change, think of something different. Anything goes!

the unexpected protector
a romance meme
You are no strong warrior nor even that skilled of a fighter; you aren't a magical being, a barely-contained force of nature with superpowers, a hunter of arcane creatures, a super spy, or a well-trained assassin. Altogether, you are physically unremarkable. In fact, you may actually be of below-average strength and ability. You could not be the most intelligent in the world, either. Mentally average. Physically average. Just average in all ways.

All ways, that is, but one.

Your strength of spirit is unparalleled. Once you set your mind to something, nothing can defer your determination...or your support, should you offer it to someone. And you have offered it, and given it, to someone, even if they didn't ask for it. You're dedicated to protecting them from threats, be they physical or emotional, and you'll give them what they need. A shoulder to cry on, unconditional feelings, a calming presence - perhaps even your body. Whatever they have to have, because while you don't have much to give, you'll give it all.

Why? Because you love them, of course. You may feel you owe them, too, or that it's just the right thing to do. But that doesn't diminish how you feel for them, nor they for you. In way, they almost depending on you. Because there is one most paramount part of this equation: they may be stronger, they should be protecting you, yet there's still some way you can help and be strong and be important for them. That's enough for both of you.

  • Comment with your character, what role you want to play, whether you prefer angst, fluff, unrequited, etc. Mention if you're open to smut or not. It's not a smut meme, but it could come up.

By Voice Alone
a "blind" shipping meme

Ideally, attraction doesn't hinge entirely on the basis of looks. Beauty fades, after all, and no matter how you may swoon over a person, no one wants to be left with someone whose personality they can't stand once the blush is off the rose. How much looks matter, then, varies from individual to individual. Still, you can't divorce that facet completely from attraction, can you? There's no way you could fall in love with someone you've never actually seen!

Emotions and affection are strange beasts.

Your character has fallen for a person (?) they've never actually laid eyes on, at least not fully. The two of them have talked - most likely at length, leading your character to feel safe revealing information and growing close - and perhaps the mysterious half has saved your character or pulled strings so events go in their favor. Yet their never actually seen their benefactor, trusted companion, or lover has never stepped into plain sight. They could hide, stay in the shadows, insist on blindfold or covered eyes. They use communicating devices, like phones or computers, or they only come out at night. Maybe your character just cannot see the other; they're blind or the other character is somehow invisible. No matter how tight the bond between these characters is, your character has to wonder what this person (how are we so sure it's a person?) they've come to have such strong feelings for looks like, right? Don't they? Surely, it eats at them, tugging at the back of their mind, despite what they may think they're content with.

Of course, you could also play the character who's keeping out of sight. Whether they have real, deep fondness or love for who they're "hiding" from or if it's all a cruel and elaborate manipulation, their reasons (and methods). There's a danger that follows them and they don't want to bring anyone into the line of fire. They don't want anyone to see their general appearance, their hideousness, their species, their mutation, or their scarring. They could just be shy! Regardless of the situation, they have to know eventually their relative anonymity will come to an end. Hiding from someone who cares for them isn't viable, and when and if the reveal should go over badly, will their merit on personality alone make up for what could be called deception?

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character, preferences, what role you want to play, whether and any pertinent information about your character.
  • Reply to others. AUs are welcome here.
  • The challenge here is, of course, playing an emotionally charged scene where the characters aren't necessarily facing each other. They may not even know a great deal about each other!
  • RNG to determine your prompt.
PROMPTS

  1. In Hiding: They always keep to the shadows or stay behind walls. No matter what, your view is always obstructed.
  2. In Disguise: Whether it be a mask or some other kind of costume, they're good at covering up.
  3. Don't Look: Before they'll speak to you, you always have to close your eyes or put on a blindfold.
  4. Imprisoned: They're trapped somewhere you can't see into. All you can do is hear their voice...and what they're saying intrigues you.
  5. Assumed Identity: You can't let them know your real identity, so it's as if you're hiding in plain sight.
  6. Already Knew: You actually know this person as more than just a voice or a presence, you just haven't put two and two together.
  7. So in Love with Two: You're in love with someone else..and your beloved visitor. You'll have to choose between them, but they're really one and the same!
  8. Share and Share Alike: It's easier to be truthful when you can't see how they'd respond.
  9. Blind: It's a common trope in fiction. One party, who usually feels unwanted or ugly, doesn't have to deal with any preconceived notions because their love interest is blind.
  10. Come Back: You're afraid you've offended your mystery friend, and you're begging them to come back.
  11. Shy: You can't reveal yourself to them. You'd never live it down!
  12. For Safety: Everything and everyone you come in contact with is destroyed. You can't let anyone else in, but you can talk to them, even if that will eventually cause you to be compromised.
  13. Hideous: How could they care for someone who looks like you?
  14. Don't Want to Frighten Them: Because of things that have happened to you in your past, you're roughed up and don't want them to see that.
  15. Not What You Expected: Given how you speak, they would probably expect someone better. More normal. More beautiful. Better.
  16. In My Time of Need: They always come to you when you need them the most.
  17. Confession: How can you tell someone you love them when you're not looking them in the eyes!
  18. Computer or Phone: Whether by accident or through a message board or party line, you've met up and begun to chat.
  19. Nefarious: If they saw you, it'd be less easy to manipulate them, tell them a sob story, and get them on your side.
  20. Want You So Badly: You want to touch them. Only touch them, is that so wrong? But you can't.
  21. Everything But the Face: They've held your hand or hugged you or anything in between. They just haven't seen your face.
  22. Cupid & Psyche: You had one rule: don't look at you. And what did they do?
  23. Medusa: See, the thing is...is they can't look at you! Because of a curse or an ability, looking at you will physically hurt or kill them.
  24. Jack Frost: No one can see you and you'd do anything to change that. Now, at least, you can communicate with someone.
  25. Tall Tales: You've never been too fond of who you really are. Without them seeing you, you can be anything you want - at least in your "backstory."
  26. Taken with You: What a wonderful voice! What things they say to you! You'll do what you have to in order to keep them visiting you.
  27. Fine with What We Have: Their voice and their presence are enough. You don't have to see what they look like. You know the contents of their heart.
  28. Have to See You: There's nothing else for it. You have to see them, no matter what they say!
  29. Everything is a Lie: Some things just aren't adding up. You're going to call them out on their stories and demand the truth...and demand that they show themselves.
  30. Big Reveal: For good or for bad, you're showing them who you really are.
  31. CHOOSE YOUR OWN
...AND THE OBLIGATORY SMUT OPTIONS

  1. Invisible Touch: They don't have to see your face for you to make love to them. You can reach out and touch them in the best places possible.
  2. Dirty Talk: A few choice words are all you need for a little fun.

with you at your lowest
a shipping meme


There are undoubtedly moments in our lives that define us, no matter how crystal clear or hazy or memories of those times are. In the case of hazy recollections, it's more likely than you'd think. How strange it its that one inconsequential, in the grand scheme of things, event can change the course you take...not always so seriously or dramatically, of course. You can't remember why you don't like soup; in actuality, you burned your tongue badly on chicken soup at one point, long ago. You'd forgotten, but your mind and body didn't. More weighty traumas that you've unknowingly pushed back can work in much the same way. You shy away from using scissors as you feel a shiver run down your spine, not necessarily as you remember blood gushing from toddler-sized fingers when you played with the big-kid scissors and cut yourself. Still, there is a connection and it keeps you "safe" through past experience. The consciousness is amazing in that way, constantly making associations that, for better or worse, shape how we view the world around us, though we may not always recall what brought us those views.

In this meme, however, there's no way this particular association - a special person, being around them, and your happiness - can go unnoticed, and you know the exact cause. In fact, you can track down the exact moment: this person came to you when you were low, perhaps even at your lowest. Like some guardian angel, they showed you kindness, they turned your world right side up again, they gave you a helping hand, or they granted you your life when they could have taken it. Perhaps it was something as simple as not treating you like trash. At that particular time, what they did meant everything. Whether you see your response to this as a welling up of true love or merely you owing them a debt, what you feel towards them cannot be measured. Even if you're usually as warm as a giant block of ice with a black heart, you have feelings towards them you can't quite understand. If you're emotional at the best of times, you'll most likely be completely overcome. Whatever the case may be, what you know for certain is that you want to stay with this and feel that lightness in your heart.

Depending on what other associations you've made and how you've figured the world works for you, this desire could lead to actions going smoothly or terribly, terribly wrong and creepy.

( prompts )

  1. Known: They've been there for you just about forever.
  2. First Meeting: You just met them, but they've made such an impression on you that it doesn't matter.
  3. Rescue:The danger is closing in, until someone steps in and saves your hide. Your hero!
  4. Healing: Bruised, beaten, and injured, you can't take care of yourself, despite your attempts. You'd be left to rot if they didn't come along.
  5. Just a Bad Day: There was no huge tragedy. You just had an awful day, and a little distraction makes all the difference.
  6. Broken: Inside or outside, you're a mess. It seems as if there's no fixing you, but they're going to try.
  7. Unprecedented Kindness: Before, no one has ever been nice to you. No one. Their attention is a change of pace.
  8. The Way You Look: After seeing nothing but monsters or murder, a little beauty is to be appreciation.
  9. Tears: "Don't cry," they said, and you're surprised how much their wiping away your tears affected you.
  10. Grumpy: Putting up your walls and your defenses of cruelty didn't run them away. For some reason, this endears them to you even more.
  11. A Simple Smile: Sometimes, a smile is all it takes to bring a ray of light into the darkness.
  12. Gave Me Hope: You're jaded and they're not. Their optimism or even their continued existence perks up your spirit just a bit, enough to continue on.
  13. Shattered Heart: They're helping you get over a romantic betrayal, platonic at at first. But then...
  14. Mercy: They could have, and should have, ended your life. They made another call.
  15. Didn't Reject: Despite your appearance, your past, your lifestyle, or your personality...not being the prettiest, they don't turn you away like everyone else has.
  16. Defend: No matter if it's verbally or physically, they're standing up for you.
  17. Give Me a Purpose: Through a need to help them in return, protect them, or make their life better, you've found yourself a purpose you thought you'd never have.

 Emotional Barriers Broken Meme


It could be your first time with them, your hundredth, or your first time with anyone. This is also the first time the flood gates of emotions have opened up, making your sexual encounter that much more intense. After all, when feelings get thrown into the mix, everything gets more raw...which is not a sexual connotation. Perhaps you've never felt this way before, or you could have been purposefully repressing anything that confused or infuriated you.

Of course, "feelings" don't have to be positive. These emotions can be anything from love to adoration to intimidation to hatred. And how they are shown will depend entirely on your personality, as well. Will there be a confession? Tender actions? Shock at your own behavior?

No matter what the situation may turn out to be, there's one sure thing: the walls will not be put back up easily. What you and your partner do from this point is your decision.

The Cunnilingus Meme
cunnilingus
noun
1. The fine art of making love to a vagina/vulva with your mouth and tongue.

2. The act of using the mouth to stimulate the female genitalia. This can include sucking or licking the outer and inner areas of the vagina, and most often involves direct stimulation of the clitoris

Some women find cunnilingus to be the most satisfying sexual act. Indeed, a great number of women report that oral sex is the only way they can achieve orgasm. The mouth can create a uniquely intense range of sensations which many find unrivaled. Any woman you learn to do it right for will appreciate you all the more for it.


Going down. Eating out. Muff diving. Eating pussy. Carpet munching. Dining at the Y. Whatever you call it, it's an act that is sometimes misunderstood and very often woefully under-practiced, be it in real life or in porn - or in smut RP.

No longer. This meme is for all your cunnilingus needs, from giving to receiving and from a loving gesture to rough hatesex. The situation is up to you; the act is up to your character's tongue.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character & your preferences. Female characters, be sure to specify whether you're down with giving or receiving, though some preferences will make that obvious. Male characters, just bring your mouth.
  • Reply to others.
  • Put those lips to good use.

THE "COME BACK HOME" MEME


It's hard for any people who care for each other to be apart, be they friends, family, or lovers. The latter especially suffer from a lack of contact. Absence makes the heart grow fonder? Pssssh, maybe, but absence also drives you nuts. Why can't they be right here by your side?

Now, your lover (or friend with benefits, or hatefuck, or what have you) is away, and you can hardly stand it. Or maybe you're able to put up an unaffected front, yet even then, when they return, nothing can keep you apart.

This meme has two aspects. You can choose which one you'd prefer, or incorporate both if you'd like.

Communication: Your special someone hasn't come home yet, and you're missing them...in more ways than one. So you're in contact to tell them exactly that. This may start some new sparks, in its own way. Sext each other, take racy photos, talk each other through some self-lovin' over the phone, send letters, or make sexually-charge smoke signals if you're in the olden days.

Reunion: Not nearly as abstract as the above. The two of you have just been reunited and, guess what? You're going to make up for lost time. Possibly for days.

THE "TAMED" MEME
You are one bad guy (or gal) and everyone knows it. Whether that definition is literal - you're evil and straight up bad - or more of the metaphorical badass, devil may care type is splitting hairs. Perhaps you're even known for bad habits: womanizing, unfriendliness, greed, bad attitude, snarkiness, nonchalance, reckless behavior, stoicism, illegal acts...mild sociopathy. You know, little things. No matter what the case may be, you have a reputation that makes just about every person who knows of you think you're always less than perfectly agreeable.

The key here is just about every person. There is one who knows the you that isn't always in on mode, one who can get past that rough exterior without getting destroyed by the natural disaster that is you. And they can do more than get past your defenses; actually, when you're around them, you're over the moon. Like a big, gentle lap dog, you can't get over your affection for them, though with anyone else, and to protect that one special person, you're a raging wolf. Maybe you don't want to admit it, but them's the facts. Of course, you would never show this in public -

- in private, though? You're tamed, like it or not. Now, since you're more or less behind closed doors, you'll show them how good (or bad) you can be. Because no one else can compare. Because no one else could tame you. Will they understand and treat you with kindness and love? Will they tease you? Banish the thought that they would ever, ever use your feelings and difference in their presence to their advantage.

Still here we are, both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see

(...)

Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely
All of my hopes, fading away
I've longed for love, like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching, even after today

As the song implies, rather than having this meme be about committed relationships or even really the potential for falling in love long term, this is about taking solace and comfort from more temporary sources. You may not know the person/people you're with very well. You might not be friends, or even kind acquaintances. What matters is right now you (or both or all of you) need something to get through the night and take your mind off everything else for the time being. 

There's really only one rule for this meme: Avoid ships that are canon -- unless your intent is to set them at a point where they're not canon yet. ...Or anymore. These ships pass in the night. That is all. Beyond that -- pretty much anything goes. 

Smut is optional, but kind of implied by the theme. I've tagged for potential triggers but I don't imagine it will come up.

Make up your own scenario, or take one (or a combination) from the following: 

1. "I know you're weary." Whatever landed the two of you here -- you're exhausted. It's been a long day, or several days, and you just need rest. What's more, you, or both (or all) of you just need to feel something other than terrible. 
2. "I know your plans don't include me." This has been an interesting alliance, but it's high time we move on. So let's make a proper goodbye of it.
3. Truce. For now. Circumstances, whatever they are, have created the need for a temporary alliance between enemies, and perhaps a little drink, conversation, and venting of frustrations unrelated to your usual ire. 
4. Homesick or heartsick. All or one of you has been disconnected from something important -- whether it's home, or someone you love, or both or more. What's more, there may be no hope of ever getting back to them, or at the very least, you're losing hope. Take comfort in one another.
5. It's been too long. As the title implies. It has been way too long since the last time you were with someone. What does it matter that it's temporary? You just need this. 
6. We have nothing better to do. Simple as that. You're both bored and could use a nightcap. So let's bonk.
7. Talked yourselves into it. Somehow you got into a frank discussion about sex that might have been easy from the start, or awkward, but by the end of it, it's fairly comfortable conversation. Now taking what you've discovered and putting it to use just seems like the most reasonable thing in the world to do. (Can be pre- or post-conversation.)
8. WILDCARD. Choose your own adventure, or combination of any.

We've got tonight. No need to worry.

like you're made just for me
a smut meme
Sex is, at its core, about the connections between people. In the most literal sense, there's a physical connection, with two bodies joined to the core. Then, there's the mental connection. For a few moments...or longer, depending...you're so utterly with someone that you're on the same wavelength. There's a spark, a desire unlike anything else to be with this other person -

Wait, you've never had that mental connection, have you? Or maybe you think you have, with someone else before, but that was nothing like it is right now. In this instant, you can forget anyone else. That spark before? That was a paltry firecracker compared to this inferno. And the physical bond you suddenly feel isn't too shabby, either. Every body part that comes in contact with theirs fits together perfectly, right down to the way your bodies can press together and tuck in the spaces between like puzzle pieces.

In fact, it's like they were made for you.

You could get addicted if you aren't already, and this may not be something you want to admit to yourself or to them. Whatever the case may be, all you're left with is the rawness of pure chemistry and the ashes of knowledge that no one else can compare. No one will ever come close.

HOW TO PLAY

★ Comment with your character, preferences, and any other information you might want to include.
★ Reply to others and thread something out.

PROMPTS or OPTIONS

★ Literal: You live in a world where soulmates or perfect matches exist, so this person was literally made for you. Now that you've found what seems to be yours, you know you can never again find someone else.
★ Metaphorical: They may not have been MADE for you in particular, but it sure feels like it.

the magical, mind-altering, matchmaking hot springs.
A SMUT MEME

Hot springs are considered rejuvenating in many cultures, from Asia to Europe. All that natural heat and the minerals from the earth flow through water and call throngs of people to come and enjoy the resorts that pop up around these wonders of the world. You, however, would never go to one. You're insecure about baring it all in public; maybe you don't even go out in public because your appearance would make the uncaring crowd lash out at you. Maybe it's just not your scene. You could not know anything about hot springs!

But you're at one now, no matter what, and you're going to be taking a skinny dip - or near it - whether you like it or not. To make matters worse, you're sharing your little pool with someone else. Hey, you don't know them! This place could not even be in your world or your time.

There's little options otherwise, though, so you might as well enjoy the time you're here. Soak and relax, let those tired muscles get a break. Soon, all your troubles, your worries, your ailments, your imperfections all begin to fade away...as do your misconceptions. You know this person, don't you? Yes, you do. Actually you know them very well. You're with them. You came with them, it seems to you, to reconnect, a lover's getaway. After all, what's more steamy than a hot springs?

So go ahead, do what you've intended to do. No one will mind if you get a little frisky in the springs if it helps out your relationship; besides, what do you think some of the extra natural minerals are for? They'll certainly help you get hot under the collar, not that you'll need that. Your (new) mutual history should be enough.

  • All characters are welcome. Appropriate, inappropriate, serious, whatever.

hurt/comfort smut;
meme

Bruised. Beaten. Stabbed. Sapped of energy. Tricked. Mentally played and abused. Perhaps you've even seen your home world destroyed, depending on how Homestuck you are. Any way you slice it, characters go through a lot of crap.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to see them get pampered and taken care of when they're ailing. In canon, they may not have someone who can provide them with care when they're injured, support and love when they're sick, and physical intimacy all around. In this post, AU or other scenarios can provide them with a caretaking partner of their very own (or, maybe, someone to take care of, if the reverse is their preference). So, for once, weary traveler, you don't have to carry that weight all by yourself.
 

to bring you out of the darkness;

The injury may not be a temporary physical or mental one, however. Some characters suffer more deeply, even if they don't know it. Darkness covers their hearts, they're withdrawn, insecure, angry, or lonely. They need someone to reach out to them and show them unconditional love.

This post can provide that, too.

Whether it be the cliche and shameless "changed by your love" trope or something more subtle like getting someone to open up, the characters here can offer that and more. All are welcome, they just have to take that first step.

The Kissing Scars Meme

 
Despite the romanticism surrounding the emotion, it can be difficult to be loved completely — not just the beautiful parts of us, but also the sad parts, the injured parts, the hidden and less-than-pleasant parts. There are marks on us, both physical and mental, that we'd often rather forget. The mental ones can just be easier to hide. As for physical scars, they can be off of our minds some of the time, but that's exceedingly hard to do in more intimate, close moments.

Whether it's to your dismay or otherwise, your partner is not looking away and ignoring your scars. To the contrary, they're providing attention in a way most heavily associated with tenderness: kissing. It may be an accidental slip off target, or they may be trying to show you that what you've done and who you've been don't matter to them now.

Does the gesture touch you? Make the walls come up once again because of the memories that are dredged from somewhere you'd rather no go? A mixture of both?

The wound has long closed, yet the pains remains; these days, however, there's someone who may be willing to help you bear it.

  • Reply with the usual: canon, character, preferences, et al. You may also want to say if you're down for smut or not, since it's not a given.
  • Be sure to include what side you'd like your character to play. Mention if you can do both the kisser and the kissed.
  • Also, feel free to talk about your character's scars.

 THE unusual guardian angel SHIPPING MEME

These days, it seems like everything is going your way. Any promotions or prizes to be won, they're yours, no competition. Work of yours that previously went unnoticed or unrewarded is suddenly admired by everyone, as if they finally see your worth. Mysterious gifts appear on your doorstep. And bullies or enemies? A thing of the past! Anyone who would try to hurt you is backing off; dangerous situations you'd have to face before are working themselves out, too. It's like you have a guardian angel.

...actually, it's less than "like." You do have a guardian angel, and the reasons they've turned their attentions towards you are less than platonic duties. They've fallen for you - or become obsessed with you, depending on how things work with them. But the real problem is that they're no angel at all. Whether they're just a person with extremely un-heavenly morals or a creature who couldn't be further from an angel, they won't be getting a halo anytime soon. That doesn't stop their feelings for you, though.

Of course, all of this opens up a string of questions. Have you two met, or did they fall from afar? Will your stomach turn when the truth is revealed? Can you two ever be together, or is their, erm, "affection" dangerous? What else will they do for you?

...and what about you? Are you so squeaky clean or normal yourself?

Actions speak louder than words, sure, but words are pretty damn powerful themselves. For example, telling someone just what you like to do to them between those sheets can serve as a perfect foreplay.

So, you're going to tell your lover just that, whether that's something usual for you, in the heat of the moment, a one off...or as wild as being induced by a truth serum or spell. Will your words make them as willing as you are wanting?
HOW TO PLAY

- Comment with your character, preferences, and anything else you'd like to include.
- Reply to others.

TWO OPTIONS

Do to You: The person replying says what they'd do to the top commenter.

That Kind of Relationship: You're always open with exactly what you want.
Can't Control It: You're just fuck-babbling and have no filter.
It's Just for the Kink: Really, dirty talk is more important than the actual meaning behind it.

 KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY [X]
the shipping berserk button meme.

Maybe you're a peaceful being to the very core, or, at the very least, you try to stay calm and friendly. On the other hand, you could be so cold that you care for no one, and hurting someone would hardly get a rise from you. Either way, there's hardly anyone who'd peg you for going nuts because of harm to another person.

They'd all be wrong.

The person you care for most - the person you're in love with, even - is being threatened or has already been hurt, emotionally or physically. That's the end of the line. You've been pushed too far, and you won't stand idly by and let this stand. You're going to protect the one you love...

...or get revenge, if necessary.

 ♥ The Doting, Caring Significant Other Meme ♡

(aka the waifu meme)

Who in the world could hate kindness? Sweetness? Conscientiousness? All of us, on some level, like to be pampered and taken care of, from the most churlish to the most pleasant. Yes, even those grouchy grumps, or, of course, the cool-headed psychos -

Okay, maybe not all of us to the same degree.

Regardless of your disposition, somehow, you've gained a doting significant other. It seems like they find their greatest pleasure in taking care of and looking out for you. This may manifest in them simply trying to keep you entertained, happy, and healthy; it could also come in the form of them being a domestic doter, taking care of all your needs. Be it the former or the latter, there's an inherent adorableness that comes with their efforts and generosity, and in return, you have an urge to protect and care for them. They're just too precious for this world! Only, you know, there's a good chance you can a. ignore this, because you're emotionally stunted and full of wo/manpain, or b. repress it because you're a badass and would never.

Unless you've completely disregarded all that because they're just too much and you want to hold them forever.

So, how do you feel about all this? Do you wish they'd stop with this foolishness (not really)? Are you pushing them away? Are you embarrassed? Maybe you're absolutely taken with them! Just realize that you have it incredibly good.

HOW TO PLAY

♥ Comment with your character, preferences, their role, any info, etc.
♡ Reply to others.

ROLE

♥ Usual: This is how they always are. "Caring" is in their nature.
♡ Unexpected: They don't seem like the type...but with you, they are.
♥ Terrible at It: They're trying hard, yet it seems like they fail at trying to take care of you. Depending on who you are, though, that may just make them more endearing.
♡ Because You Like It: They heard you like those who are sweet and kind, so they're trying to change their ways.
♥ Not Together: Technically, you're not together romantically, but everyone knows the truth.
♡ The Doted Upon: What it says on the tin!

PROMPTS

♡ Feeding: Whether they cook for you or have moments where they feed you, literally, they take your nutrition seriously.
♥ Massage: Let them work out all those kinks.
♡ Clean You Up: Here, they've drawn a warm bath for you.
♥ Dress Your Wounds: If you're the kind of person who gets in battles, they'll see that you're all patched up.
♡ Singing: Or telling stories, or otherwise calming you down.
♥ Lap Rest: Sometimes, their lap is the best pillow.
♡ A Shoulder to Cry On: When you have troubles, they're always there to listen.
♥ The Calming Force: If you have moments of terror from past trauma, they're always willing to put themselves on the line to bring you back to reality, even if it puts them in danger.
♡ Soft Kisses: Their kisses feel so good, and they're never demanding.
♥ Head Pat: Sometimes, a simple gesture can mean the most.
♡ Grooming: They'll fix your hair - or at least play with it - and help you shave.
♥ Gifts: Homemade or expensive, they like to shower you in presents.
♡ Lovemaking: The obligatory smut option, where they're a generous lover.
♥ Protector: They look out for you, and while they don't seem that way, if you're threatened, they get like a bear protecting her cubs.
♡ Gentle Giant: They make you feel so small and delicate.
♥ Reverse: For once, you want to dote on and take care of them.
♡ Unwilling: It's a wonder they still try to care for you, because you're cruel to them and rebuff them at every turn, even if you really don't mean it.
♥ It's Okay to Cry: They never get upset because they don't want to put that on you. You want to let them know they can let it all out.

 the soul bond meme


"I can't live without you...literally."

Wake up. Do what you have to. Work. School. Save the world. Avenge your father's death. Go back to sleep. Average day, for human, demon, sailor scout, angel, slayer, what have you. Though there's some part of you that wonders, in the back of your mind, if this is the day you'll meet your bond.

Because your world is just like ours - or how yours was, in another universe - but with one addition: the soul bond. The soul bond is a concept as old as time itself. People don't question the process, it just is. Some say that it comes from the beginning of time, where each soul was created in a pair, and throughout the lifetimes those souls are reborn into, they search for each other. This is the soul bond. Even if that's mostly faded into myth, it's generally excepted that there is only only one person for anyone. So, soulmates.

Not exactly. Soul bonds are more. They are about the joining of bodies: sexually and psychically. The bond isn't necessarily about love, though the close connection facilitates that emotion growing, and some fondness does appear in almost every case. It's bigger than love, bigger than hate, bigger than anything else; it's finding yourself in someone else, and your never wanting to lose that. Needless to say, the soul bond is the cornerstone of life and society. Marriage is reserved for the bonded, and you're expected to be searching for that other half. There's a good biological reason for that, too, as the unbonded cannot reproduce and those who have not found their bond are doomed to die extremely early in comparison to their peers and in a most painful, withering fashion. Who would want that?

In this world, sex is had with those who are not the other half of your bond, even if society considers that frivolous. For the truth is, sex with any other will never be as good as sex with your other half. When you make love to someone who isn't yours, you'll know it. It's a disappointment.

When you so much as see your bond for the first time, or at least for the first time after you've reached sexual maturity, you'll know, even if you're already "with" someone else. The signs are inescapable. You'll know it's them. You'll become hyper-focused on them, your heart will race, your muscles tighten, your brain shoot off every signal it nose...and you will become aroused beyond belief. Any arousal you've had prior pales in comparison. So go ahead, if you don't want a bond, ignore it. Try. It won't work. The more you ignore it, the more control you'll lose. Did I forget to mention? In this world, sexual drives are a little more animalistic than usual. They would have to be when the mainstay of the races is a sexual-based bond. Those who try to ward off the desire to become one with their other half can achieve mild success - until they absolutely lose themselves. It's not uncommon to see bonds going at it in the streets, unabashed and unashamed, for trying to hold off the inevitable. Sex between bonds in public, generally, is not looked down upon.

You've given in. Of course you did. But what now? The first time you have sex with your bond, it will be beyond compare. You will share memories with each other, as this is the opening of your psychic connection with them. Yes, psychic connection. How would you expect to be truly bonded otherwise? How strong this link is depends on how often you have sex. Even at baseline, though, you'll know if your bond is hurt or in trouble. Fair warning: this will pull at that animal brain, and you will go into a beserker mode to get them back with you. Similarly, you will behave in a territorial manner if you feel the bond is threatened; jealousy often results in shameless public sex, in hopes to re-establish the strength of your connection and make your bond realize that YOU'RE the other part of them, no one else. In addition, bonds don't handle separation well and each partner will be antsy and on edge. It can be done, and most pairs do because of work, duties, and life in general, but returns are usually accompanied by sometimes days-long sex sessions.

Aside from those quirks, the bonding process can be quite useful. A bond can calm you down, and sex with your bond can serve as the ultimate relaxer. Your bond is the one who can heal you, and sex boosts your strength and power. Yes, those of you looking to achieve your ultimate goal...or ultimate form. Being a bond makes you stronger. Don't resist, no matter how surly you are.

The bond is no respecter of person. Outside of sexuality such as straight or gay, types or species don't matter. You could be bonded with someone as different from you as night and day. However, no matter what the case, you'll begin to care for them in some fashion. You'll feel the need to be with each other as much as possible, both sexually and otherwise. They'll become the most important person in the world to you. Of course, this is assuming your bond is someone you can feasibly be with. Perhaps there is some truth to that reincarnation business, as sometimes, those souls are reborn into people who are never meant to be bonds - warring tribes, at-odds species, and even relatives or people with a great amount of age between them.

The bond is permanent. This is the person you were meant to be with, after all, until you die (and soul bonds usually die within years of each other). Theoretically, though, it can be broken. Mostly, this is done when one side betrays the other side somehow. As the bond is initiated through sex, it's broken in the same way. What happens next is rarely pretty. Police reports usually find the bodies of the dead bonded, cause of death specifically unknown.

Head spinning yet? It shouldn't be! This is the world you live in.

rules

- Comment with your character, preferences, what you're interested in, and what you're not interested in.
- Crosscanon tagging is expected and encouraged. Mention if you want to make some kind of canon-insertion AU with one of the characters or just have a nebulous AU.


prompts

  1. Meeting - You see your bond in that way for the first time, and it's done. You're done. You have to have them to be complete.

  2. Trying to Fight It - No, you're the type who rebels against this whole "soul bond" system. You're the master of your own design, and you won't give in despite the fact that you could just start masturbating right now.

  3. Failure to Fight - The whole fighting thing didn't work out, and now you're going at each other like you'll die of thirst.

  4. First Time - The legendary first time with soaring sensations, amazing orgasms, and the sharing of memories.

  5. Not the Sharing Type - You're a private person and don't want your brain in someone else's. How can you reconcile this? Maybe doing the act can change your mind. Or maybe you just want relief so badly, you don't care.

  6. Feedback - You feel all of your partners pleasure as well as their pain. If you can't come up with something kinky, I can't help you.

  7. Dirty Thoughts - You know what's naughty? Sending mental images of what you'd like to do to your bond through your connection. It's like mental sexting - or a fun way to torture them.

  8. Learning About Each Other - You're learning what both of you like and don't like and sharing as you go.

  9. Jealousy - Someone tried to approach your bond and it made you a bit miffed. Now it's time for some affirmation of the connection and to make sure that you're still on their mind.

  10. Rough Bond - Your bond is more hate than love sometimes, but it's a thin line. Besides, you still care more about them than anyone else, and god forbid someone hurt them. Besides, rough sex is fun.

  11. Separation - You'll be apart for a while. You need one last hurrah

  12. Reunion - You're back together. Now to make up for lost time. Not just because you want to, either.

  13. Public - Remember how I said sex in public is accepted for bonds. Why not take advantage?

  14. Chasing That High - You keep having sex with people, trying to find you bond.

  15. Chasing That Low - In contrast to the above, you're trying to keep away from a bond by desensitizing yourself to sex.

  16. Bond Party - Some young people throw "mixers" where, hopefully, you may meet your bond. Experimentation is bound to happen...even experimentation with multiple people at the same time, trying to find that one.

  17. Can Never Be - Your bond is with someone you shouldn't have one with. They're your sworn enemy, your teacher, or your sibling. Your body and soul says yes, but your mind says no.

  18. Strengthen - You need energy to defeat the big bad or rule the world. Go to your bond and recharge.

  19. Comfort - A bond is often the only one who can calm their other half down, and that sometimes happens through a grounding via sex, bringing the upset party back to what really matters.

  20. Healing - Healing wounds and healing the connection all comes down to body pressed against body. Just be careful of blood.

  21. Long Time Bond - You've been together for some time now and you know each other like the back of your hands. You can make them come in ten seconds flat if need be, but it's more fun to drag things out, isn't it?

  22. Ritual - You want to make your bond official in the eyes of the government. Unsurprisingly, the marriage ceremony is ritualistic sex.

  23. Impregnation - There's no fertilization between the eggs and sperm of non-bonds, so one surefire way to make sure everything's on the up and up is to get pregnant.
  24. Mind Games - Being psychically connected is all good until they fuck with your head.

  25. Dependency - It's not always easy, being for, all intents and purposes, addicted to a person. You need them like you need breathing, and you'll take what you can even if you're ashamed.

  26. Already with Someone - You love someone, but they're not your bond. Can they keep you when you meet your real bond?

  27. I'm Not Yours, You're Not Mine - You know you're not bonds. Still you want them to stay with you and you'll do anything and try to be better.

  28. False Bond - You thought you were bonded, you really did, until you met them

  29. Faking It - There are benefits to faking a bond, including for safety, financial gain, and to secure alliances. Of course, you can't fake it in the bedroom.

  30. Manipulating - You'll get what you want, even if you have to lie and pretend you're bonded to them...how you can fake that, no one knows, but it's worth a shot.

  31. It's Not Me, It's You - Sometimes, mistakes are made. They're your bond, but you're not theirs.

  32. Break the Bond - Because you have a death wish or a snuff kink.

  33. My Ex-Lover is Dead - Your soul bond is gone and you're trying to fill the gap.

  34. OR MAKE UP YOUR OWN

 REVERSE BEAUTY & THE BEAST MEME


Though it remains a beloved fairy tale, 
Beauty and the Beast itself has perhaps become a tired trope. Its inspiration is far-reaching and you can find stories based on it in many corners of the fictional world. Though these tales vary, one facet is almost always the same: the beastly character always falls in love with the beauty, and the beauty has to learn about the beast's innermost good qualities. And why not? Could the beauty ever fall for the beast on looks alone? They're a beast!

...but what if the beauty fell in love with the beast because of the way they looked? What if the beauty was the one who had to worry about if they were good enough, or if they weren't the right type? And, most importantly, what if the beauty didn't want the beast to ever change?


HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character, preferences (no smut, etc), whether they're beauty or beast, etc.
  • Reply to others.
  • RNG for prompts.


PROMPTS

  1. Meeting: Whether the meeting is against your will, as it is in the traditional tales, or you go out of your way to meet the "beast," it is what it is.
  2. Falling: Maybe you expected this. Maybe you didn't. But you're falling for a beast - and it's not all for what they have inside.
  3. Swooning: They're so beautiful! How unique, and you've grown so tired of the same old, same old.
  4. Who is the Beauty: What if you are hardly beautiful in their eyes? If they're a different species, they might have an entirely different standard, or they may just think you're too normal.
  5. Not What They Like: The above, realized. Sorry, they just can't be attracted to someone like you. You're actually the beastie in their eyes.
  6. Confession: They may not be used to having affection directed towards them, so this may be a new experience for both of you.
  7. Fluff: Kissing, hugging, dates, taking them out, touching them, mending wounds, personal hygiene help, and all of that.
  8. Smut: The obligatory smut option, and any problems, inconveniences, or drama or lack thereof that come with it.
  9. Rejection: Actually, they could never love you like that, so you're in for a heart break.
  10. Defense from the Mob: You'll stand up for your beloved beast, in contrast to them going berserk should outsiders disapprove.
  11. ...I Liked You Better Before: Somehow, some way, the beastly half of the couple has changed and become more conventionally attractive, as is wont to happen in these sort of stories. Only problem? You aren't attracted to them now.

the FOILED BY LOVE meme

I have protected you, fought for you, killed for you… I have loved you.
You know the story. There's information to be found, a weakness to be prodded, or a position of power to be gained through this person or group, and you're willing to play the long game. You'll infiltrate and make your own place, gaining trust and friendship and maybe more, if the plan calls for it. Then, when the time's right, you'll drop your mask, having gotten exactly what you needed.

Of course, things are wont to change on a dime, no matter how well you've plotted your exact actions. Feelings soften, sympathies widen, and you might just see a shift in your priorities. Uh oh. It's more than that. You're emotionally compromised. There's only one thing you want, and it isn't what you started off with. Perhaps there's a chance for you to seamlessly switch sides and act as if you were who you played at all along; however, it's a dangerous affair, and it's very likely you'll be discovered - and cast out for being the traitor you are.
- Character information, preferences, and all that go in the comment and subject. Mention if you want to play the infiltrator or the betrayed.
- Reply to others.
- Hash things out if you want to. Otherwise, play.

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HUMAN
a shipping meme

No matter how straightforward it may seem, the human emotion of "love," especially true, unconditional love, is complex and often hard to understand. All that forgiveness, all that dedication, all that light in the dark - how can one person have all that inside of them? You don't understand that, possibly because you're not a human. You're a calculating robot, an unfeeling, undead zombie, an alien with a completely different frame of reference, or an artificially created being told only to feel certain ways. If you are a human, however, that doesn't necessarily clue you in to all the secrets of affection. Cold, uncaring assassins, brutal warriors, ruthless womanizers and maneaters, or the just plain broken can often feel like robots among their own kind.

But you want that to change. You have a stirring in your chest for someone and you want to know what love is so you can make them happy. This is the first time you've ever wanted to do so and be so unselfish. Hopefully, they can be a good teacher and help you open up, getting you both closer...

...or you could end up with someone as inexperienced as you. Well, there is something to be said about learning together.

  LOYAL LOVERS MEME

For most people, there is at the very least one person they'll always go to bat for. In your case, this person gets more. There isn't anything you wouldn't do for them. They're like family to you, only not. They're like a best friend, only more. They're your lover, your partner. It seems like you've been together forever, and you have no intentions of leaving their side. Why would you? Even if you don't believe in soul mates, you two work perfectly together, so effortlessly that it's not even a thought, through thick and thin. You're just...together.

Now, it's time for all of that to be put to the test. Whether it's being there for them, supporting them in a time of need, pulling them out of a darkness that threatening to envelop their psyche, or actually putting yourself in the line of danger - or, a task that's extremely less serious, such as just doing something you'd never do otherwise for them - you loyalty will be tested. And you will rise to the occasion without a second thought.

Won't you?

; only they can reach you

You're dangerous. In the end, it doesn't matter whether you're a constant flight risk ticking time bomb or someone who's a threat to society when the moon is full or the right magic spells or demon blood enchantment is given; anyone could unluckily wind up on your business end on one bad day. Isn't it better, then, for you to just stay away and build up walls so you never hurt someone else?

There is a someone else that can make all the difference, however. Somehow, they're the only person who can diffuse the bomb that is you. Maybe it's because of your shared history. Maybe they're just the only person you truly like. Whatever the case may be, there's no surprise that you've grown close to them...perhaps too close, though you may not realize depending on how aware of surroundings you are. Now, your emotions are all mixed up, and there could even be lo-

No. Don't focus on that. Instead, just don't question it and only rely on them to get you through spells that make you a danger to yourself and others. Whether they're keeping you at bay, you're having a calm moment with them or battling with the idea of your feelings be known, or otherwise, you should appreciate them, your emotional walls or instability notwithstanding.

  imperfect, slightly painful sex.

Despite what movies or TV or RP will tell you, sex isn't perfect most of the time. This meme explores those times where it's painfully imperfect. But this is no fail sex meme, no real humor here. Awkwardness, maybe, yet the real subject here is when intercourse hurts: physically or emotionally. Whether the problem is past experience or trauma, size difference, incompatible species, powers, current feelings, other love interests, or a whole myriad of other issues, all can be explored here.

HOW TO PLAY

★ Comment with your character, preferences, preferred role, all that good stuff.
★ Reply to others.
★ RNG to get your prompts. Or not!

PROMPTS

★ Physical: The position or actual mechanics aren't doing anything for you.
★ Emotional: Sex is uncomfortable because of contact, connections, or intimacy.
★ Raw: Something terrible has happened in your past, leaving you too vulnerable to be comfortable with sex.
★ Not Ready: Whether it's mentally or physically - ie, you haven't had enough foreplay to get you turned on - you're not ready.
★ First Time: What it says on the tin.
★ As It Begins: Initial penetration can be uncomfortable.
★ Into It: They're too enthusiastic and not being mindful, perhaps due to inexperience.
★ Gift is My Curse: A power or ability of yours can hurt someone you're intimate with, though it may usually be a benefit.
★ Should Hate You: You two just had an argument and one of you doesn't have your heart in it.
★ Place and Time: Sometimes, the time and place really isn't right.
★ Size: Whether their body is too big to balance on top of you or...other things are bigger, you're suddenly feeling a bit small.
★ Wrong Configuration: You two are of different species, so you don't exactly fit in that way.
★ Too Rough: They're unawares, but they're not being gentle enough.
★ Powerful Impulse: Something in them is telling them to hurt you in some way.
★ Remind Me of...: Being with them makes you recall someone else, perhaps from long ago or maybe even someone you'd rather be with; understandably, this makes your heart hurt.
★ Always Afraid of Hurting You: You can tell they're holding back. You don't want them to.
★ Keep On: It doesn't matter if it hurts; your feelings for them mean you can soldier on, as long as you get to be with them.
★ Kind of Like It: Actually, the pain kind of turns you on.

☽✩ the werewolf pack (au) romance meme ✩☾


There are many supernatural beings that congregate in groups for survival or protection or just for companionship, not unlike humans. Witches have covens. Vampires have nests. But none of those have connections that can compare to the bond of a werewolf pack.

You should know. You're part of one, either born a werewolf or turned. For humans, blood is thicker than water; for wolves, the pack is to the bone. Of course, with humans, romantic relationships can complicate closeness of other sorts. That's not the case with werewolf pairings, as they tend to grow out of natural pack dynamics and are viewed as just another facet of life. The only difference is that werewolves tend to treat relationships, even potential would-be-mates, with extreme seriousness.

After all, you'll fight for your pack, so you'll fight for your mate, won't you?

✩ how to play ✩
☾ Comment with your character, preference, and information!
☽ Reply to others.
☾ RNG. Also, please note that while the words "alpha" et al. are used, this isn't a meme for that AU.


✩ prompts ✩

☽ Born: Your parents were werewolves. Any children you have will be wolves, too.
☾ The Turning Process: Like any transformation, the after effects of the bite are painful. Luckily
☽ With Who Turned You: You're romantically or sexually linked to your "creator," so to speak, probably because you have nowhere else to go. They seem to treasure you, though, no matter how much they hide it.
☾ Alphas: Both of you are top of the pack.
☽ Alpha and Beta: It's a classic case of the leader and the second in command: a perfect team up.
☾ Omegas: You two find solace in each other even when you're
☽ Closer Than Family: The romantic and platonic lines are blurred. You honestly can't
☾ Outside Threat: Your pack and your loved one is threatened. What won't you do?
☽ Reluctant: You don't want to be with anyone, but it's expected and they're the closest in the pack to you...
☾ All I've Ever Known: All you've ever known is the werewolf existence, the pack, and them. Of course you would never want to lose that.
☽ Can't be Together: You two should not be considering a potential pairing, either due to your status difference or because your alpha has proclaimed there will be no inter-pack mingling.
☾ Everyone Else Was Taken: You had no other option; everyone else was paired.
☽ Protector: Every pack has an instinctive protector or nurturer. You've lucked out and ended up with them.
☾ A Natural Closeness: It doesn't matter to you what you're defined as. You've always been close and you'll stay that way.
☽ Affection: Werewolves show their love in different ways that humans. Nuzzling and licking aren't considered odd at all.
☾ Fall into Step: The two of you have your pack positions and proclivities and they're the same in your relationship.
☽ Reverse: The submissive in the pack becomes a dominant in the relationship and vice versa.
☾ Two-Man Pack: The rest of your pack is gone, and you two have to stick it out.
☽ Rogue: You were once a lone wolf, but a special person brought you into the fold. Understandably, you're attached to them.
☾ Kin but Not: "Family" doesn't mean exactly the same thing in werewolf society as it does in human. There are fewer taboos between "siblings."
☽ Disciplined: You're a rule breaker, and your partner has to reel you in.
☾ Living Straight: Neither of you wants to hurt humans...yet there's always that urge.
☽ Bad Duo: Killing people and raising hell are your specialties. You're a real supernatural Bonnie and Clyde.
☾ Unrequited: Even werewolves can have feelings that aren't returned. However, it's an even more fragile scenario, given that you must still be pack after this.
☽ Got Your Back: Together, you hunt and fight. Always together.
☾ Love Outside the Pack: You've found love outside the pack, which is the ultimate sin. Everyone who isn't pack should be your enemy! The other person in this thread can be a human, vampire, etc.
☽ Life Mates: Wolves mate for life. Needless to say, this is not something you should go into lightly.
☾ Heat: The obligatory smut option.
☽ Fight for the One: Someone wants to challenge you for your mate. There's no question as to whether or not you'll fight for them - but will you kill?
☾ Leave: One of you wants to leave the pack. Will the other come along, or are ties too strong?
☽ A Brutal End: The life of a werewolf, especially those who let sentiment cloud their judgement, can be painfully brief.

 in sickness & in death
a sadder shipping meme
 

To you, this must seem like a wonderful dream, or at the very least, the closest someone like you can have to one. Your life has been going surprising well and, depending on your preferences, there has been an abundance of peace or adventure for you to enjoy. More importantly, however, is that you don't have to enjoy anything alone - you have someone. Whether or not you admit it to yourself or not, you're with them, and they make everything even better.

But it won't last. Not for you two.

The changes happen slowly, almost unnoticeable at first. Your partner seems a little less energetic than normal. Nothing too out of the ordinary, though. Then, they're more lethargic. They don't feel well. None of this goes away, however, and it only gets worse. Then, there's the realization: they're sick. So badly sick that it's very unlikely they'll be able to hold on.

Perhaps this should have been obvious, yet you just didn't want to see it.

The road ahead of both of you is not an easy one. The person you wanted to be with forever will, most likely, not be here too much longer. Of course, that's not even a speck compared to what they're going through themselves. There's no right answer as to where you should go from here; no one would be able to judge someone in this terrible situation. Will this limited time bring you even closer together? What will you spend it doing? Or will the understandable stress and emotional turmoil drive you apart?

The Immortal & Mortal Romance Meme
You'll outlive this person, it's a given. Their lifespan compared to yours is but a speck, an ant in the eyes of a god. You're immortal - or, at least, extremely long-lived - and they're doomed to die. Yet, somehow, you've begun to love them. Will you nip this in the bud and try to cut things out from the root...or will you let yourself be set up for inevitable loss?

so you're wearing somebody else's clothes.


1. Stolen clothing. Look, that's clearly my sweater. Look at how much extra sleeve there is when you wear it, there's no way it's yours! So just give it back, alright?

2. Awkward mix-ups. So you were scrambling to leave in the morning and accidentally put on your partner's clothes instead of yours without noticing — but other people might notice what you've overlooked. Hopefully your partner's not the easily embarrassed type!

3. Winter is the time for sharing. You're sharing gloves, mittens, or a scarf with somebody else. Or maybe you've graciously given up your coat to somebody else.

4. Couples clothing. You and your partner are wearing matching outfits. It's probably sickeningly cute... unless you're both looking tragically unstylish.

5. Laundromat shenanigans. What? This basket doesn't have any of your stuff in it... oh shoot, you were drier 20, not drier 21, weren't you? Oops, better hope that the other person understands as you try to explain why you have all their stuff...

6. Boyfriend shirts. You just like wearing your partner's stuff because it's like wearing a reminder of them all day long — although you might not admit something that sappy to their face. Plus, this flannel shirt is so much comfier than a normal flannel somehow.

7. Provocation. There's pretty much no reason to be walking around in just your partner's underwear unless you're trying to get a reaction.

8. Roommates/partners doing the laundry. Are those your socks or mine? Wait, I think that shirt's mine, not yours... Maybe we should just give up on separating our laundry.

9. It's makeover time. You're doing them a favor, they clearly can't handle dressing themselves. Nothing in their closet will do, so you'll have to lend them your own clothes. Or maybe you're taking this opportunity to dress them in something more embarrassing?

10. So you lost this bet... and now you have to literally share a shirt. As in, both of you are wearing it at the same time. Don't forget to take a picture for proof!

11. Anything else! Let your imagination run wild.

Take It Slow Smut Meme


There are plenty of memes about skipping to the good part, rushing to sex, being desperate for it, and so on. But what about taking things slow? Some people enjoy that, as well, and still others have need to keep their calm - they're inexperienced and not completely ready or they can't get knock-out, drag-down excited for reasons that can get a bit...dangerous. Or the slowness could be nothing serious; foreplay could just be the word of the day. Then, you'll want to enjoy your time together and not run through the motions of a good time 'till its spent too soon.

They say all good comes to those who wait, so savor every moment and wait for the inevitable to come.

  Moonlit Romance Meme

You know the moment in movies and reality at nighttime parties or outside of events, and you're having one of those moments for yourself now. The sun is down, the moon is out, you and the person you've been nursing feelings for are together under the stars. Bonfire, dancing. There could be hundreds of people here, such as at a festival or outdoor concert, or it could be an intimate affair. But none of that matters, because you two are only focused on each other. What more could you ask for? The cooler weather and the intimate atmosphere will bring you closer together, and fun at night like laying out under the stars or exploring the woods is always good to nurture a growing connection. In fact, this may be the perfect time to let out some secrets and create wonderful moments you'll remember together!

You're a someone on a dangerous quest, a hero in a not-so-easy spot, a royal, or maybe even the last of your kind who will bring about the Earth's redemption. Whatever the case may be, you're valuable, and you're in a position that may be a bit dicey if you attract the wrong kind of attention.

And you're the protector, the only person who can keep that erstwhile hero or heroine out of harm's way. Somehow, you've been roped into protecting this person, whether it be through your loyalty to them or someone close to you, a mission, or a promised reward. You'll be rewarded, of course. The work may be cut out for you, but just do your job, keep your head down, and it'll go smooth.

Except, as things get more perilous and truths are revealed, the two of you break the bounds of protector/protected or guide/guided and feelings may begin to flourish. Being in such close quarters may get you to see the other in a different light, and saving someone's life just may be the ultimate form of intimacy.

Could this be the real danger? To feel so strongly for the one you've sworn to protect...are you compromised?

»4. Some ideas: the beginnings of the relationship, just meeting, getting used to each other/not getting along at first, the obligatory first time, a threat on the protected's life and how their protector responds, how the feelings between the two has changed the protection, etc. Your only limit is you.

 BLURRED

For most people, the lines between platonic and romantic are very clearly drawn. Not true for you two; friendship and romance intermingle in your relationship, and to be honest, it's hard to discern where one ends and the other begins. You're bosom buddies. There's a spark between you. You're lovers, too, maybe, or it could be completely innocent. You're love interests. You're intimate, you're close, you're ride or die. You don't understand why romantic and platonic can't coexist. You don't need labels.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character and preferences, i.e. no smut, etc. Feel free to include as much or as little information as you'd like.
  • Reply to others.
  • RNG for a prompt or choose your own.
PROMPTS

  1. Since Forever: You've always been friends, ever since you were young, so this closeness is an outgrowth of that.

  2. Natural Connection: Some people just click. You guys go together like peanut butter and jelly.

  3. Love Everyone: At least one of you is the type to shower love and affection on everyone you meet.

  4. No More Darkness: They drug you out of your not-so-pleasant path, so you cling to them.

  5. Owe Them Everything: You owe them a solid. You're now more than simple friends.

  6. No Big Deal: You don't understand romance as separated from friendship.

  7. Cultural: Your culture doesn't discern so heavily between "lover" and "friend," a la troll society in Homestuck.

  8. Closeness: Hugs, cuddles, and kisses, oh my!

  9. All My Secrets Away: They know everything about you and can be there if you need help.

  10. The Most Important Person: They're not merely a special person to you, they're The Person.

  11. UST: Just because your relationship is unconventional doesn't mean there can't be a few unresolved issues, can it?

  12. Intimacy: More like Friends with Benefits.

  13. Feel More Comfortable with You: So, you kinda want to try this whole sex thing. May as well do it with the one you trust implicitly.

  14. No One Understands Me Like You Do: In general, not many get you. But this person does and it's such a relief.

  15. Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood: Why do people keep thinking you're a couple? Okay, by some definitions, you are, but these guys are trying to limit you!

  16. Assisted Romance: One of you has a crush on someone outside the duo. The other is supportive...and wants to give some tips.

  17. Want to Be More: You want to actually be official and exclusive.

  18. Jealousy: All the attention your - well, not partner - sort-of-significant-bff has been giving other people really raises your hackles.

  19. Unspoken: You two don't have to speak or say anything about your status; you know what you are.

  20. Say You Love Me: ...still, you wouldn't mind hearing the l-o-v-e word.

  21. Realization: The person you want to be with forever, maybe even in a completely romantic context, is right in front of you.

  22. Bros Before Hos: You won't pursue or engage with someone outside the twosome because it bothers your special someone.

  23. Upgrade: You've decided to renegotiate the terms of your relationship.

  24. Romantic/Platonic Life Partners: No matter what happens, you guys are content to continue on as you are, even to life partner levels.

turn over a new leaf for you

Here's the thing: in the past, you've not been a nice person. Whether you were just a little nasty, you did terrible things, you were forced to be a monster, or your heart was dark to the core, it's understandable why you weren't anyone's favorite. But those days are behind you. Now, there's someone you care for, someone you want to get closer to, someone you lov-

Well, they make you want to be a better person. This desire could have been a gradual realization, or you could have suddenly decided one day to improve. In the same vein, you may want a complete overhaul, yet you could also be more realistic and try to work on one thing. Still, you know that you're the only one who can change yourself.

How is that going? It can't be easy, as old habits die hard. Do you have a supportive loved one — or someone who wants nothing to do with you, no matter how much you improve?

No need to wax poetic about it. Let's get down to business, ladies and gentlemen!

strangers like me
a possible feral AU meme )

Since you were young, you know you've been different, even if you didn't fully understand how. And it's more than a normal, healthy feeling of youthful isolation, because somehow, someway, you were cut off from your kind and grew up as the only one. Perhaps you had to go your life alone, though if you were lucky, you could have been taken in by another species and raised by them, as they took pity on you. It's possible that you were raised in conditions most would consider "wild," even barbarous or animalistic, and certainly not befitting someone of your kind. Of course, you don't know that. You don't even think there are others like you.

Until someone like you falls into your life, by chance, by accident, or by design.

At first, you go full-tilt into learning everything about this mysterious stranger and all they know about your mutual people. All these wonderful concepts, these worlds you've never dreamed of! Most importantly, now you know you're not alone.

Then, things change. Your focus begins to shift to this person, more than just the information they can provide. You can't help but notice their features, so much like yours. Whenever they're around, you feel so much lighter and happier. Your heartbeat quickens. You want to see them smile. Why do you have this growing need to be beside them?

You don't understand any of this and, hopefully, you're fine with that as long as you get to learn more and stay with this person, this link to your past...and your future.

ʜᴏᴡ ᴛᴏ ᴘʟᴀʏ

  • This was originally conceived as a shipping meme, but if you want to play gen, that's fine. Just clarify! Smut is fine, too. Again, just specify it.
  • Feel free to AU your character as desired.
  • You can do a feral AU or just focus on the "thought they were the only one" aspect.
  • ANYWAY, comment with your character, preferences, and, if you'd like, which part you'd like to play (the "only" one/wild one or the "stranger").

  The Coffee Shop AU Meme


The weather is getting cold and what's better for batting off that chill than a nice hot beverage in a place with comfy chairs and a barista who knows your favourite combo?

PROMPTS

1) Customer. You spent ages choosing your drink, lining up for it and now there are no more tables. Great. As a result, you have to look for somewhere to sit while balancing that tray laden with your drink of choice and tasty pastry in your hands. Looks like you've got no other choice than to ask that person with the spare seat at their table.

3) Barista. An employee of this fine establishment, if nothing else, knows how to brew coffee. We hope. Maybe you're the best barista in the world. Or maybe you barely know how the machine works and instead make up for it by coming up with hilarious names on people's paper cups. Either way, you work here and go through the daily grind.

4) Student. It's no secret that students congregate in droves towards coffee shops for a combination of free wifi and caffeine. Whether in a group or on your own, the laptops and papers are out in full force. Whether any work is actually getting done is another question.

5) Early Morning Rush. It's first thing and you're crabby. All you want is your coffee and you will kick, punch and claw your way for that cup of black gold. And it looks like you're not the only one feeling this way. Are you going to let that person stealthily cut in front of you?!

6) Not A Coffee Person. Maybe you just want to try coffee for the first time. Or you're a tea drinker who is rethinking their views on coffee. You're canvassing for opinions, and that can range from outright asking other customers to hovering over tables to monopolizing the barista for a good 5 minutes, holding up the line.

7) Coffee Date. Asking people out to a coffee is the easiest thing in the world. Or is it? Whether it's with a friend or something more romantic, a coffee date is a good opportunity to connect with people and talk about whatever comes to mind.

8) Late Nights. The evening sky is dark and there's hardly anybody left in the coffee shop. Closing time is not for a while yet, but a stillness has settled over everyone. It's that time of night where anything can happen.

9) Free For All. Or if all else fails, just make your own scenario!

the emotional support meme

Everyone has bad days. Everyone needs a little support, someone to listen to their woes or just silently hug them and not mind tears or emotional ranting. What reason is life crushing you today? How will you cope with it?

directions

1. Comment with your character, series, preferences, etc in the subject.
2. Roll a number between 1-20 with the RGN for a prompt.
3. Reply to other comments and play the scenario out!
4. Bring tissues.

prompts

1. LOST SOMETHING You lost something important: this could be a person, a family heirloom, or your job… something big or small, it still affects you personally. Can you find it, or get a new job, or find some way to fill the gap in your chest?

2. LITTLE THINGS Little things have been building up: bills, annoying neighbors, your cat is hiding from you, coworkers being jerks. They’re not huge by themselves, but can be when put together. Can you solve them one by one? Or all at once?

3. DEATH Someone near you recently died. It could be someone you loved, someone you hated, a friend or enemy but death is never easy to get over, from funeral arrangements to regrets. Having someone there for you helps, though.

4. BAD DAY It’s just been a bad day. Someone yelled at you, a car splashed mud all over you, you woke up late, and your milk went sour. Can someone cheer you up?

5. LONELY One of the hardest things to get over is being lonely. It either takes a lot of personal strength or the strength of yourself and someone else combined. Can you see that you are not alone, or will someone be able to show you?

6. DECISION MAKING You need help making a big decision: something important, something that could change your life and the life of others around you.

7. INJURY Anything from tripping to getting into a car accident is never fun, and sometimes, you need some help getting over your injuries, but that is what friends and family helping you out and giving some tender loving care are for.

8. DISAPPOINTMENT You were hoping to get or achieve something, but didn’t, and now you have to live with the disappointment. Can someone help you see the bright side of things and get back up to fight again?

9. FIGHT You had a huge fight with someone involving fists, words, throwing things, or anything else a fight might entail, and are left emotionally distraught. Can someone comfort you, and maybe bandage up your wounds too?

10. EXHAUSTION You have either not been sleeping well, have a lot on your mind, too many responsibilities… and it is all weighing down on you. Do you have someone to vent at or someone who can distract you or convince you to relax?

11. JUDGMENT Someone criticized you, and it wasn’t the healthy kind either. Those always hurt the worst, but surely someone will convince you it’s not true.

12. MISSING SOMEONE There isn’t much you can do about someone being on a long trip, moving away, or wanting an ex back, but maybe it would help if someone was there to miss and remember them along with you.

13. FORGOTTEN You have been feeling neglected and forgotten lately, for no reason at all, or maybe there is one. Is there someone to stop this feeling?

14. BROKE UP Ending a relationship is never easy. Sometimes it’s for a good reason, other times it’s a mistake, but it happens anyways. You still need someone around to help you adjust to being single again, maybe convince you to celebrate.

15. JOB DEMANDS No matter what industry you are in, sometimes, it’s sucks. Audits? Mountains of paperwork? Insane hours? It can make you really hate a job and need a little support to muscle through it until you can find a better one.

16. DEPRESSION Then there is just… everything and you get stuck into a rut you can’t get out of and it’s a deeper issue. Can someone convince you to get professional help or get onto a regiment that will work for you?

17. FAMILY They can be the biggest support system a person can have, or sometimes they are the cause of all the problems of the world. Can you work the issues out, or will you need support from an outside source?

18. ILLNESS From a cold to an illness that has kept you in the hospital for months, it’s nice to know that people are thinking of you and wishing the best through bowls of soup, flowers, get-well cards, and more. Best of all are those who come to visit.

19. SELF-ESTEEM Not everyone is as confident as they wish to be, or as the person next to them. Sometimes, life just gives you blow after blow. Is there someone near by who can help lift your spirits and renew your fighting spirit?

20. WILD CARD Is there another scenario you had in mind? Was there something we missed? Roll again or make up your own adventure!

MOVE IN TOGETHER meme

After months and months of dating, or at least love/lust from afar or admitted chemistry, you and your special someone are moving together. Maybe it's into your dream home, maybe it's one of your places, perhaps it's a hole in the wall and the only place either of you could manage. Still, it's yours, and that makes everything more than all right. You're on your way to domestic bliss - or will you both realize that living together can mean a few more disagreements and a few less rose-colored glasses than there were together? Cooking and cleaning and other chores for two are no easy job. And, of course, you have to be prepared for a greater level of intimacy, in whatever form that takes.

How to Play

  • Comment with your character, gender preference, and any preferences such as no smut, fluff only, yes smut, angst, etc.
  • Reply to others.
  • Feel free to play any scenario, any angle, any scene taking place from the moment of moving in onward. You don't even have to really play it straight - maybe your characters are having to live assumed lives and under new identities.

your past, my future.

"John Connor gave me a picture of you once. I didn’t know why at the time. It was very old-torn, faded. You were young like you are now. You seemed just a little sad. I used to always wonder what you were thinking at that moment. I memorized every line, every curve. I came across time for you Sarah. I love you; I always have."

You have one important task that makes you willing to risk sending your very atoms across time, to a part you know little about: you have to make sure one person stays safe. Even if they're nothing much now, in the future, they're the key. That much you know. Aside from this one imperative goal, you have strict orders to not shape the past in any other way.

Falling for the person you've been sent back to protect surely qualifies as bending the past beyond repair. Will you allow these growing feelings to take root and potentially change the path of time, or will you deny yourself and focus on what you know must be done? Of course, the latter may be especially hard should your attraction towards this person have its beginnings in your future, back when you first heard of them...or first saw their face in something like a faded picture or a hologram. But there should be no time for romance, as danger is pressing closer and closer, threatening to make both of your lives come undone at the seams.

 First Kiss Meme


one. It's your first date, and you're dropping them off at the door. Are they going to lean in? Should you..?

three. Awkward first kisses! Maybe you just bumped noses, or you kissed their chin instead. Time for attempt number two!

four. Maybe this is your very first kiss, or maybe it's theirs! Either way, one of you is experienced and the other isn't. What if it turns out really bad?! (But hey, maybe you're a natural.)

five. The accidental kiss. Might have tripped over your own feet, or maybe you've collided and they landed on top of you. Either way, your lips are locked- Where you go from there is up to you.

six. UST kisses. There's been some sort of tension between you for a while. Maybe you fight all the time, maybe you're in love with each other and you keep getting interrupted before anything happens. Either way, that tension needs to end now!

seven. Either pick one, mesh some together, or re-roll!

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Post with your character!
• Reply to other people with your character and go to the RNG to generate a number between 1 and 7.

You're not a jealous person.

Okay, maybe you are, or you're not usually but you are right now. And who could blame you? Your partner has gotten the attention of someone else - or lots of someone elses - and it's not sitting well with you. Sure, your lover is amazing; they're you're amazing lover, and you don't feel like sharing.

Whether your partner was oblivious to the attention or encouraged it, you feel like you have to stake your claim. Of course, this may be the kind of consideration they're really wanting.

THE RULES

  • Comment with your character, preferences, etc. Mention what side you'd like to play and any other information.
  • Reply to others.
  • RNG that shit.
THE PROMPTS

  1. Unassuming: Your lover didn't mean to draw those people's gazes and words.
  2. Purposeful: They wanted to make you jealous.
  3. Loving: You just need some soft, kind assurance.
  4. Rough: They're yours. They're yours. You won't let them forget.
  5. Desperate: You can't let yourself forget.
  6. Non-Con: They don't want this, but you have to have it.
  7. Kink: As if it's some kind of mild cuckhold fetish, you're both into them getting approached by others and then the two of you making love later.

 GAVE YOU A HOME meme

Bricks and mortar can make up a house, but most of us know that four walls don't a home make. Yet some go through life without either. Perhaps that's been your case - up until now. Whether you come happily and openly or this is something you're pulled into out of convenience and circumstance, you now have a roof over your head. What's more important though is, slowly but surely, you're gaining a home...and this home? It's a person, a person you're realizing you never want to lose and to whom you're forever grateful, no matter if your feelings toward them are romantic or platonic. If need be, you'll fight to protect this.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character, preferences, and whether your character will be the one giving or getting a home.
  • Reply to others.
  • Thread!
OPTIONS

  • Platonic: For the younger set or those who prefer a more familial bond.
  • Romantic: They opened up their home...and their heart.

  YOU'RE MY MISSION

You're the kind of person who works best with a stone-set goal or a purpose in your life. Even if those duties were thrust upon you with no input of your own, even if that's all you know - especially if that's all you know - you find yourself most at home when you have a job and you do it. Unfortunately, though, what you've dedicated yourself has gone belly up and you're left reeling.

That is until you find a new mission: a person. They could have shown you kindness when you needed it most, they may seem like someone with a cause. A cause, that's good. That's what you need. You can serve this.

All of your focus, all of your resolve, all in one place; it's no wonder when your feelings begin to blur and "professionalism" and such is no longer the order of the day, if it ever was. So now, you're dedicated to them, which has its ups and downs. You have to protect them, keep them safe, keep them successful, and do what needs to be done for them - their dirty work, if need be - though they may not ask or want this. They especially may not want your brand of service. But loving them normally, of course, would be the most healthy way to channel all this, yet perhaps you're not sure how. You could learn...

...or you could continue with the mission.

  ONLY US
shipping meme )


In a more normal time, this person would never be your type, if you even had one. But these days are nothing like "normal" in the least. The world, as it was, has ended, after all. The means don't matter: fire, ice, apocalyptic continent shift, zombies, despotic government that makes you wish for the former. All you're left with is the ashes of our former world and danger at your tail because you, lucky you, have survived. Having your pick or your type is a luxury you don't have; even if you did, it would be an extremely low priority.

As such, this situation, this relationship with this person hardly started out with any romantic intentions. It may have not even begin friendly. You came together out of necessity in order to survive, yet things got dicey as you learned to rely more and more on each other. When both of you feel as though you've lost everyone who'd ever been important, human contact is taken where you can get it. The more you rely on to watch your back, the more you rely on them for mere survival, the more you begin to rely on them for everything, in a way. While what you have between you started differently, it's grown and changed into something you can't describe. Still, you hold on for dear life, because even if you don't want to live for yourself anymore, you owe it to them to survive. This isn't love. It isn't healthy. It's codependency, probably, but it's a way to live.

What if they're not as much of a survivor as you, though? What if they're weak? What if you are?

...what if you lose them like you've lost everyone else?

 The Mech Pilot AU Smut Meme

A.K.A. a Pacific Rim-style smut meme



The stakes, whatever they may be, are high. Most likely, the apocalypse is looming on the horizon: giant aliens are attacking, giant monsters are attacking, an oppressive government is threatening a rise, or game with real-world consequences. Humanity has only one hope in the form of giant robots. Somehow, it's been decided that you are one of the choice few who will be able to pilot such a massive machine, whether though destiny, skill, or birth.

But you won't be alone. These mechs require two pilots - two pilots in complete compatible tandem or "drift," and not just anyone will do. So there is only one perfect match for you. This process cannot be a blunder. The lives of billions are counting on it.

The mech is a part of you both, becoming this way via neural interfaces and tech, so you must be in synch perfectly in thoughts and memories...and in physicality. You see, the robots run off the power of sexual contact between pilots, in the cockpit. The two must become one. Training, of course, is encouraged; you must get used to being with each other and with getting residual emotions, fantasies, and feelings. Outside sex and intimacy is expected, though you may not have the same equipment or suits on your person as you do in your mech.

Still, whether you're finding your perfect co-pilot, training, in the heat of battle, or taking care of each other after the fight, all moments matter. One wrong step, and your apocalypse will be right as scheduled, right on the dot.


How to Play

  • Comment with your character, information, preferences, and any ideas you have.
  • The prompts are in the meme.
  • You can play it as straight or fast and loose. Feel free to be inspired or use other tidbits of mecha tropes.

« MINE » meme
❝ᴍʏ ᴡᴏᴍᴀɴ, ᴍɪɴᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴍɪɴᴇ ᴀʟᴏɴᴇ❞

In nature, animals can be territorial. This makes sense; it's a cutthroat world, and you have to keep what's yours just to survive. They keep a close watch on lands, food supplies, and even sometimes mates. Pet owners can tell you that this instinct doesn't just go away - try getting that chew toy from your poodle. But what about people? Aren't we just animals, too? But for us, possessiveness is not a good social trait to have. That's understandable. Nobody likes someone so hung up on owning things. Especially not owning their lovers, since you can't simply have another person like that.

Yet even the most benign, most monkish of souls have possessive streaks at some moments when it comes to the person they're sleeping with. It's only natural. Usually, it comes from jealousy. You like having what's yours (even if it's a cruel way to think about things, that's the reptile brain peeking through), and you'd want it to stay that way. That means you want to show up the competition and remind the object of your desires that you're the apple of their eye. Of course, possessiveness doesn't always come from jealousy. Some people are just very, very...how do we say it...protective of them and theirs. How can they help that they want to show that in intimate ways?

In relationships, possessiveness throughout isn't healthy; still, a little bit of it can be actually arousing, especially in the bedroom. Today, the hotel is awakening that side of characters: the part that wants to screw their partner mercilessly to show them that they are the ones to touch them, to love them, to fuck them.

But my character isn't the possessive type, you say? Really? Really? As we've mentioned before, even the most kindhearted types feel it every once and a while. This meme never mentioned that it had to be a HUGE show of possession. It can even be a playful attempt in order to get their partner going or try a new kink in bed. Or, you could say the "influences" made them do it.

After all, there's plenty of prompts here to influence you.

HOW TO PLAY
- Comment with your character and preferences. You also may want to include if your character is more or less likely to be the possessive or jealous party, but please note that all characters have the potential to be that in this meme. Otherwise, you'd get a lot of passive pillow queen characters to be fawned over so be mindful of that.
- Reply to others!

PROMPTS

HOW
1. Induced Jealousy: Whether by taunting or misunderstanding, one partner is jealous and wants to make sure their lover knows that they're the worthy - and only - one.
2. Insecurity: There's no outside source here, only self-worth issues that cause a need for possession.
3. Pushed by the Other: "Man up!" "Show me you want me!" "Grow a pair!" You can only take so much.
4. Making up for Losses: You can't be together outside the bedroom, so you have to make up for it here and you want the bed to be your domain.
5. Rivalry: People of a certain age will remember a certain song about rivalries. The boy/girl is yours.
6. Necessity: You live in a society where you must show a certain amount of possessiveness over your lover.
7. Nature: Breeding and mating urges, oh my!
8. In the Mood: No particular reason, you woke up feeling like a lion in their terrain.
9. Hate You...but Don't Want Anyone Else to Have You: What it says on the tin.
10. Virginity: You want to claim what no one else has, and that will be you and you only.

  -- The Erotic Denial Meme --


Maybe you're already caught up in the moment, or maybe this was planned from the beginning. But either way, at least one of you isn't getting off until the other says so or circumstances allow. So much desperate, frenzied passion can be had in these situations.

How to play:
  • Comment with your character

  • List any preferences (which side, gender preference, levels of consent you're comfortable with, etc)

  • Reply to others
  • Choose an option below or use an RNG
Prompts:

01. Punishment: You've done something you shouldn't have. And you'll be denied release until you've been properly punished for your wrong doing.

02. Reward: There's nothing quite like the intensity of all of that build up need. And you've earned it.

03. Control: Consensual or not, it's time you learned that your body is not your own.

04. Beg For It: You'll not get your release until you've proven you really want it.

05. Endurance: A test to see just how long you can truly last.

06. Permission: You must hold out until you're granted permission.

07. Dealer's Choice: Come up with your own scenario that suits your character's needs/fantasies/etc!

Methods:

01. Edging: No tools to hold it back, just carefully applied touches that don't quite push you there.

02. Toys: Easier for men than women, but there are certainly devices that help keep such things at bay.

03. Magical: A spell or potion. Maybe an innate ability or enchanted collar. Whatever it is, that makes release impossible until the effects wear off or are removed. But that doesn't stop the need from building.

04. Wildcard: Whatever you wish!

 The Courtly Love Meme

Courtly love or domnei was a medieval European conception of nobly and chivalrously expressing love and admiration. Generally, courtly love was secret and between members of the nobility. It was also generally not practiced between husband and wife.

The "courtly love" relationship is modeled on the feudal relationship between a knight and his liege lord. The knight serves his courtly lady (love service) with the same obedience and loyalty which he owes to his liege lord. She is in complete control of the love relationship, while he owes her obedience and submission.The knight's love for the lady inspires him to do great deeds, in order to be worthy of her love or to win her favor. Thus "courtly love" was originally construed as an ennobling force whether or not it was consummated, and even whether or not the lady knew about the knight's love or loved him in return.

The "courtly love" relationship typically was not between husband and wife, not because the poets and the audience were inherently immoral, but because it was an idealized sort of relationship that could not exist within the context of "real life" medieval marriages. In the middle ages, marriages amongst the nobility were typically based on practical and dynastic concerns rather than on love. The idea that a marriage could be based on love was a radical notion. But the audience for romance was perfectly aware that these romances were fictions, not models for actual behavior. The adulterous aspect that bothers many 20th-century readers was somewhat beside the point, which was to explore the potential influence of love on human behavior. The behavior of the knight and lady in love was drawn partly from troubadour poetry and partly from a set of literary conventions derived from the Latin poet Ovid, who described the "symptoms" of love as if it were a sickness. The "lovesick" knight became a conventional figure in medieval romance. Typical symptoms: sighing, turning pale, turning red, fever, inability to sleep, eat or drink. Romances often contained long interior monologues in which the lovers describe their feelings.

tl;dr characters are in a fantasy/medieval setting and having a courtly romance.

How to Play

Prompts

  1. When I First Saw Your Face: You are meeting your liege or your knight for the first time. What you see takes your breath away.
  2. Lovesick: Your pining for your beloved has made you ill! You can't eat, you can't sleep, you're in loves throes.

  4. You're So Coy: The art of flirtation is just getting started, but you have to be subtle about it.

  10. Consumate: Believe it or not, courtly love could have a physical angle, as well. Sometimes physical afairs happened.

  start a war for you


Helen of Troy was said to be so beautiful that she launched one thousand ships. But why is she the one history blames, when it took another for her to be whisked away?

The two of you may not be royals, yet you're in a precarious enough position. Still, the moment you lay eyes on each other, it's instant. It's chemistry. Yet you cannot be together, whether because of roles or because of one or both of you being involved with others. Unless...

...unless one of you were to run away together. Of course, those around you may not like that - in fact, such an action might threaten the peace of all you know. Must there be danger or even death, all thanks to your love?

"Prince Rhaegar loved his Lady Lyanna and thousands died for it." — George R.R. Martin

HOW TO PLAY
† Comment with your character, preferences, and their role (see below). If you have any strong preferences about the mood of the thread, you can include that information, as well.
† If you're not sold on any set parameters, feel free to RNG for directions!
† Reply to others.
† Thread!
WHO
♕ Thief: No frills here. You're doing the spiriting away.
♕ Stolen: Even if you're complicit in your being "stolen," you're the one being taken off, after a fashion.
HOW
♔ Consensual: Both of you are completely smitten, and you know you must leave.
♔ Nonconsensual: It's an unrequited love taken much too far; a literal "stealing" away.
♔ Uncertain: One or both of you are unsure about this action, the morals behind it, how it will end, or even about your "love."
♔ Not What it Seems: How could this kind, wonderful and upright person care for the hideous, evil beast who took them away? It must have been a kidnapping! ...or sometimes, the beautiful just might prefer the beast, the good clinging to the so-called "bad."

Though it's usually more of a trope than a reality, oftentimes characters have a set "role" in the bedroom (often seen prevalently in yaoi manga re seme and uke). This meme plays off of the idea of switching up the usual setup and giving you a chance to play your character in a role that they would not generally be in in a smut thread.

Whether or not your character canonically has a "role" in bed doesn't matter. This meme is for fun and for exploring playing out smut with a character in a situation they're not exactly used to and/or you're not used to playing them in.

Please note that this isn't strictly just for the guys switching who tops- a lady who is normally extremely dominant in bed can give her partner the chance to control the show, etc.

Throw character name/canon/preferences in the header, and feel free to specify somewhere what role is your character's standard, if applicable.

Note that some triggers may be present!


Pick one, RNG, or just go wild and ignore the prompts to come up with something you want on your own!

Scenarios

EXPERIMENTING You've gotten so used to the old routine that it's time for something new. Maybe it will spice things up in your sex life?
NECESSITY Whether it's because one of you has an injury, because of somebody's anatomy not being compatible in the way you usually do things, you're going to have to do things differently to make this work!
TRUST You're usually too uptight to want to do things a new way, but for whatever reason (be it love, friendship, or just some kind of bizarre cosmic connection), you trust this person enough to give it a shot.
DRUNK You're uninhibited and crazy, and you want to live a little!
DUBCON You're not 100% comfortable with this change of pace, but it's happening anyway.
LOVE You love this person so much that you want to try everything with them.
WILDCARD Mix and match or choose your own!

Relationship

STRANGERS You don't know each other, but you want this anyway.
LOVERS This is the person you're with, so it shouldn't matter, right?
FRIENDS There's nothing wrong with friends with benefits
ENEMIES However this came to be, it did, and now you're trying something new with someone you don't necessarily like
WILDCARD Any and all other options!

MAKE LOVE TO ME

You're with your significant other or crush and, for you two, it's an affectionate moment. Or, perhaps, an emotionally charged one in some regard. You're kissing, caressing, getting hot and heavy - or perhaps just being quiet together, sitting next to each other with one of your heads on the other's shoulder, falling off to sleep, watching a movie, or getting finished with a date. The possibilities are endless! One thing's for sure, though, your partner's about to tell you something. Request something of you, more accurately:

Make love to me.

Even if you've had sex before, this phrasing has a certain connotation to it that it'd be impossible to miss. It's not just physical pleasure; they're serious. They want to be something with you. Is that what you want? Can you give them that?

If you've not had sex, the words are even weightier.No one could blame you for getting nervous or excited. Are you ready for all of this - emotionally and physically? Will you take it slow, jump right in...or not take it anywhere at all?

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character and preference.
  • Reply to others.
  • One of the characters involved uttered the phrase. For ease of use, you can assume the person who made the top comment said it, unless that's completely off-base or out of character, and people replying are the ones who had it said to them, unless you'd like to note otherwise. Or you can work it out.
  • This isn't strictly a smut meme. You can play it, fade to black, or have smut not happen at all. This meme is for fluff, romance, working through trust issues, exploring ramifications on their relationship, and much more.
  • Have fun!
