TOKEN of LOVE meme


What you have here is nothing special. A trifle, really. From the outside looking in, most people would think this item someone gave you was worth very little. Could you blame them for thinking that way? Even if the trinket is something like jewelry, it can't mean too much - yet to you, it means the world. The one who gave it to you is the person you love most, so its value to others doesn't even register. What only deepens your appreciation is that, whether directly or indirectly, they proved your feelings are returned by giving you this token.

Only to you. No one else. For that reason, it's one of a kind and priceless.

This item could be a gift picked out just for you or a precious possession of theirs they decided to give to you. Maybe they want it back; maybe it's yours to keep forever and ever. Its purpose could be to show the world you all are together or a simple, kind gesture. Did they give you a long confession in combination with your gift? It's possible they didn't even think much of their action at the time, and you've put all the meaning into it - ie, it was a piece of clothing they let you use to keep warm or some cloth they tore for a bandage.

In the end, the circumstances don't detract from how much you treasure this meaningful token...and what it represents, you never want to lose.

  LOVE ON AN ADVENTURE meme



Lucky you. For a while, you get to eschew a normal life and see life past your door; you're going on a quest! It could be for personal reasons, for fun, for profit, or to save the world as you know it. In all likelihood, it's the latter, given the natural order of things, but hopefully it's not. Whatever the case may be, you won't be going it alone, however. Whether it's just you and a partner or a true fellowship, you've got people to back you up. You may not all start out as the best of friends, that's true - still, the fires of potential life or death scenarios or the threat of losing your booty draw you closer together, and a friendship forms.


With one member of your party, more than friendship grows between you.

But wait, you have to defeat the dark lord, find the oldest wand, fight evil by moonlight, create a giant robot, or any other number of tasks. There's no time for this sort of nonsense! Actually, you may push them away because of the mission or due to past wounds that tie into said mission. Maybe, though, you can steal moments to get closer, let a romance blossom...or more.

HOW to PLAY

  • Comment with your character, preferences, and any other info - ie, keep it PG, etc.
  • Even though I used a fantasy picture, don't feel constrained! In Harry Potter, they have to find a wand, in Supernatural, the Colt, in Avatar, they have to fight the Fire Lord, etc.
  • Feel free to AU your character or include information about them.

don't deserve you
a smut meme
There's some darkness in your life. It doesn't have to be the epic, soul-crushing darkness that destroys your very existence; you can be a mild cynic or someone who's a little more somber than the rest of the crowd. Of course, you could have the terrible times in your life, making it hard to go on or making you so jaded you're even less than an automaton. What purpose is there in going on in life aside from going through the motion?

That is until this person, this one special person came into your life, and it was like opening a window. They're all light and excitement and beauty and goodness, everything that you're not. They've given you a new lease on life, in some way, and now, there's passion, and perhaps new experiences for you. Even if you don't or can't recognize this, it's true.

The one problem is that you don't feel anywhere near worthy of them, though you may not be familiar with this feeling. Actually, you don't want to taint them at all, despite you being, well, you.

Yet still, here you are, with them in the most carnal way possible. Will your guilt eat you up? Can you tell them they deserve someone better? Or, if you desperately want to hold on to their light, maybe you can make yourself better and prove how much you want them by giving them everything.

HOW TO PLAY

★ Comment with your character, preferences, and which side of the spectrum your character would fall on.
★ Reply to others and thread something out.

 the intimacy meme


Intimacy comes in all sorts of degrees and fashions, from sharing a knowing look across a room to kissing when no one else is looking, or even just holding hands. Sometimes it’s simple and silly, other times it’s the stuff of romance novels. Just how are you intimate with someone else? How intimate are they with you?


directions

1. Comment with your character, series, preferences, etc in the subject.
2. Roll a number between 1-21 with the RGN for a prompt!
3. Reply to other comments and play the scenario out!
4. Aww, look how cute you two are together. Stop it. We'll get cavities.

prompts

1. CHEERING UP ★ Not every day goes well. Sometimes you need some support or encouragement, someone to remind you that as long as you do your best and try to learn from mistakes, all will be well.

2. CONFESSION ★ Can you gather enough courage to finally express your feelings? Will they be returned? Or perhaps someone is confessing to you. How are you going to handle it?

3. ANNIVERSARY ★ These are special days, milestones to celebrate, because so far, you’ve made it! Have you been dating for six months? Married for ten? Or is it someone’s birthday or has an achievement been accomplished?

4. CUDDLING ★ There is nothing better than the classic. How can anyone resist being physically close to a loved one? Especially when it’s been a rotten day or you’re totally in love.

5. HOLDING HANDS ★ Who doesn’t like to hold hands? It can be a simple, sweet gesture when you’re walking down the sidewalk or it could be a means of comfort and support when times are bad. And who says you just have to hold them? Hands are versatile after all.

6. DANCE ★ Dancing with a loved one is always enjoyable, either alone at home or in a club. Do you guys like to rock out in a mosh pit or are you the slow waltz in the middle of the living room sort?

7. DATE NIGHT ★ Movie? Dinner? Somewhere romantic? Date nights are always fun and can be a great way to rekindle romance.

8. LOVE NOTES ★ Classic trope! Who doesn’t like to get a little bit of encouragement on a big day or a random Valentine’s Day surprise? Do you go all out or do you make them as cheesy as possible?

9. NURSE BACK TO HEALTH ★ Sometimes the best thing about having someone special in your life is that you are no longer alone on sick days. Hopefully they won’t mind you accidentally making them sick too!

10. GIFT ★ Birthday? Anniversary? Or are you getting your loved one something just because? Gifts, especially when they are unexpected, are a great way to show affection or brighten someone’s day. Even a random piece of candy.

11. HORSE PLAY ★ Do you prefer pillow fights or chasing each other with a hose when you were supposed to be washing the car? How about just tackling each other into bed?

12. HUGS ★ Having a rough day? Succeeded in something? Hug away, my friend! Share hugs with more than one person, pass them along, do a group hug, but don’t hold back!

13. CONVERSATIONS ★ People don’t often think about it, but conversations affect a relationship a lot. Over tea, on a long drive, it’s always fun getting to know someone better or joke about nothing.

14. KISSING ★ Silly kisses? Sweet kisses? Passionate ones? Kisses come in all shapes and sizes and can mean different things to different people. Either way, like with hugs, you shouldn’t hold back.

15. PILLOW TALK ★ There is nothing like sharing kisses and whispering sweet nothings in the early morning, or in the middle of the night, or on a lazy afternoon.

16. AFTERGLOW ★ Couples seem to like the moments after sex where everything is cozy and you’re still kind of breathless. Do you whisper soft words to each other and enjoy the moment or start it all up again?

17. COURTING ★ Different from dating, courting is more focused on marriage compatibility, not romantic compatibility. Hopefully, you already know that. So, would you make a good married couple? Or do they hate to clean and you don’t want kids?

18. PASSION ★ Every romantic relationship has passion, or the ones that are sexual. Go on, light some candles and set some mood music. Enjoy an oppertunity to spend some quality time with your partner.

19. RAINY DAY ★ Rainy days remind people of tea and cozy fires and that their plans can sometimes be ruined by mother nature. Oh well, now you just need to find other things to do while you’re stuck inside!

20. SLEEPING IN ★ Sometimes you want to do nothing but snuggle up to someone and ignore the alarm clock. If they happen to miss an appointment or if you’re late for work... you can always make a phone call and pretend you’re sick.

21. WILD CARD ★ Want to roll again? Make up your own? Go for it!

 ONLY TIME Smut Meme


Forgot the first time. This is the first time and the only time you two will be together like this. Whether the fact brings up an extreme emotional response or you know this will be an exclusive engagement and have accepted this, somehow, some way, they've ended up in your bed.

 the glowing chest soulmates meme



It's easier to understand metaphors when they're not metaphors. The human brain just prefers concrete information. Luckily for you, you live in a world where there's one less abstract; for as long as you can remember, you've known about the glow. The "glow" is exactly what it sounds like - it's a glowing in your chest, emanating from your heart, that you receive when you meet the one. Your soulmate. Your actual, indisputable soulmate.

The glow doesn't always automatically happen when you meet that person. Sometimes, there's a delay. Sometimes, you've known them for years before it kicks in. When it happens, though, you'll know. You can't simply ignore your ribcage lighting up.

Other than that, the glow isn't harmful, per se, at least not physically. Psychologically, it can be pretty taxing, because there's virtually no chance of escaping fate. You will end up with the person you glow for. It's a given. Sure, you can try to defy it. You won't explode or anything. You will, however, begin to feel a sense of incompleteness that comes from trying to stay away, and fighting the growing - and glowing - feelings of fondness and the desire to be with them and to protect them.

Prompts
at first sight ♡ The traditional glow. Of course, this can make first meetings awkward.
friends ♡ You've known each other for a while, then one day, you both light up.
exactly who you wanted ♡ Yes! Jackpot! They're totally the person you've always dreamed of being with.
hate ♡ ...are you serious? They're your bully! Your rival! Your enemy! There has to be something wrong here.
forbidden ♡ You're glowing for somebody totally wrong, whether it's wrong by law - a relation or age difference - or some other manner.
distaste ♡ You view this whole process with a critical eye. Doesn't mean your exempt.
with someone else ♡ You thought you found the one and were just waiting for the glow to show, but then, you started up with another person.
inopportune time ♡ Nobody likes their big speech ruined by a glowing heart.
unfortunate implications ♡ These sorts of memes rarely explore how creepy the idea of soulmates intrinsically is. What if you end up with someone you are ultimately incompatible with? What if you're miserable?
doing something big ♡ They just saved you from certain death! Rescued you from captors! Loaned you five bucks! And how do you repay them except by starting off their glow.
fighting it ♡ Nope. Nope. Not going to happen. You won't give in. You'll be the first in history to shake it off.
giving in ♡ ...you were saying? Might as well get together.
first time ♡ The obligatory sex option. Sex is like sealing the deal, and some report their whole bodies lighting up.
ANYTHING ELSE?

 THINKING OF YOU


a meme for all your mutual masturbation et al needs! )

There's nothing more embarrassing than being walked in on during your private time...except, maybe, if the person who's walking in is the one you're thinking about while taking care of business. Oops.

You just can't help it! Picturing someone you don't know, as sexy as a random model or superstar may be, is nowhere near as appealing as when your mental images are personal - maybe you can't even get excited unless you're thinking of someone you know. This person could be the one you've wanted forever but can't have, a new fantasy, a partner you can't be with right now, anyone that accidentally came to mind and you couldn't unsee, a new fantasy, someone completely taboo, or even a person you just picked because you wanted to.

Can you not let them know that you were totally picturing them in the most compromising of positions, or is the cat out of the bag because you were obvious or verbal? How will you feel about being walked in on? Mortified, probably, if you're normal. Freaked out? ...even more aroused?

Hey, it could happen! Bodies are weird.

But things don't just end in your total humiliation, oh no. That would be too convenient. The person's not leaving. They're angry, perhaps demanding an answer, maybe wanting to tease you, or possibly curious.

Actually, they may just want to join you. I bet that never happened in you wildest fantasies.

How to Play

  • This being a smut meme, you know the above encounter will end in sex of some sort. Feel free to use this meme to get your mutual masturbation kink on or anything else you can possibly think of.
  • Reply with your character and preferences (ie, women only, definitely no taboo, etc). Assumed CR is definitely going to be a thing here.
  • Top level comments are the ones being walked in on by those commenting to them. If you'd prefer, you can leave your comment blank, or you can give a short blurb about what your character is doing to get themselves off. Think of it as a headcanon meme, especially if your character has unique physiology.

On Your Doorstep

They ended up on your doorstep, quite literally. Bloody, possibly. Bruised, most definitely, though the wounds may be mental. You probably don't know them from Adam, yet you couldn't find it in you to turn them away - whether they wanted you to or not. So you opened up your home, just for a little while.

But it's getting to be more than a little while. Both of you are finding a comfort zone, because you didn't simply open up your home. Admit it or don't, but you've opened up your heart all the same.

Their's is slowly following, if its reluctant at all.

  Look Past the Blood on Your Hands

Red's in your ledger or you're making your way towards a crimson page by your very nature. Did you simply do what you had to do in order to survive? No one could understand how you lived. That could be just what you tell yourself, though; really, you might have enjoyed your crimes. You're not proud of some of what you've done, no matter what, and there's a part of you that will probably never heal.

If you were someone else looking in, you'd never be able to stand looking at you, much less stomach you.

But someone does all of that willingly. They can look past the blood on your hands and the bad decisions weighing on your shoulders. It's you they care about, not your history. Actually, they may even love you, though you can't begin to fathom why.

BICKERING attraction

Who said that crushes or attraction have to be all goo-goo eyes and sighing? For the two of you, that couldn't be further from the truth. You barely even like each other, or so it seems. There are hardly any moments you seem to get on better than cats and dogs...hungry cats and dogs, with their tails tied together. Both of you may have the personalities of daisy-fresh rattle snakes, which makes it easy to understand why you appear to hate each others' guts. On the other hand, you could normally be pleasant, wonderful people who can't stand being together.

But underneath all that bluster, there's a spark that can't be quenched. You two are actually not just crazy: you're crazy about each other. Outsiders may see it, even if you don't. Worse, maybe you do -

Are there feelings that are about to flow over, as your romantic tensions? If you realize how you really see them, you may wish you could be like those lovey dovey couples. Or maybe you don't.

Because possibly, no matter how much they make your heart go doki-doki, you still want to punch them in their disgusting, stupid face.

  Heat of the Moment Send Off


All roads lead to danger, whether for only one or for both of you. Shit is going to hit the fan; actually, shit may be getting extremely real at this moment. Still, no matter if right now's a moment of peace before the storm or chaos is raging around you, one part of your little pair has decided to speak out on some emotions that may have been bubbling under the surface. Nobody tell them this is not the time for it, because they 
have to have their say before you all split up. They want you to know how they feel...just in case! If not that, they're going to give you a kiss. It's for good luck, of course. Don't read into it.

Or do read into it, because you're going to have to part for a time, and with their kiss giving you strength, you know you'll come back to them. You can't deal with not knowing where the two of you stand, no way, no how. While your latest encounter may have only lasted a few moments, everything from here on out will change - that is, unless you only want to chalk it up to the heat of the moment.

  • When you make your top comment, feel free to include your preferences and any other information. If you'd like, be specific: do you want both characters going off to "battle," do you want the thread to be fluffy/serious/silly/etc, do you want to play what happens after all is revealed, and so on?

 Boiling Point Kiss


Oh, this person has really done it now! Whether you usually get along like peas in a pod or like cats with their tails tied together, at this moment, you two are really, 
really arguing. You're hurt, you're angry, you're infuriated! You hate them - but actually, you hate that you love them, because feelings have been growing and shaping up for some time. All this tension, all this anger, it's all about to come to a head.

So you do the most natural thing in the world: you kiss them.

It's one part getting them to shut up, one part instinct, and one part admitting your feelings. Still, you're not thinking. You're just going on adrenaline.

...that won't stop reality, though, and after the kiss is over, you may just have to fess up about what made you pull (or drag) them in and pucker up.

 Chance Glance Meme


Isn't it funny how little chance, seemingly unimportant occurrences can change our lives? You miss a morning bus, and your misfortune keeps you from being hurt in an accident. When you go out to lunch, your usual place is covered up, so you go to a new cafe where you taste a dish that makes you decide to quit your day job and become a chef. These decisions pop up all the time, even when we don't realize it until we consider the road not taken.

You're about to face yet another tiny conincidence. You see someone, perhaps when you run into them on the street or as a glance caught while you're skulking on the rooftops, as you do. Whatever the case may be, you feel a spark, a connection that you've never felt with anyone else. Maybe this is the first time you've felt anything close. So, will you make the decision to ignore what your gut is telling you, that you'll regret not taking the road towards this person, or will you follow your heart - and them? One little chance to actually meet them may just change everything.

  CRASHED THE WEDDING smut meme


Church bells chime out through the air. Forget just the bride - everything's decked out in white! There's going to a wedding today, which means there's certainly going to be a wedding night when the sun goes down. This should be a happy event! So what's the problem? It's not your wedding, but you want the person getting married badly. They're a crush, a former lover, a forbidden fruit, someone you just want for yourself, what have you.

There's only one thing for it: you're going to crash the wedding, the two of you will "elope" - whether you plan to marry them or not - and then, you'll have your own honey moon. Hopefully, the person you're desiring to know in all the most carnal ways wants to be rescued...

...if not, you may just steal them anyway.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character, the role you'd like them to play, and any preferences.
  • Reply to others.
  • Play.
PROMPTS

  • Mutual: They didn't want to get married to that other person anyway.
  • Conflicted: One party's still unsure or guilty on some level, but those doubts are slowly fading away.
  • Unwanted: You quite literally stole them away, possibly kicking and screaming.

Unexpected Notice.

- Comment with your character, preferences, desired role, what have you.
- Sometimes, it can be hard when those around you are getting all the attention and always getting approached. Or maybe you honestly don't care or notice. At any rate, it's still important to know that all attention doesn't come with flashy signs and shows of affections. You've got someone notices; it could they weren't on your radar because you'd never expect anything from them, but your on theirs. Now, they've finally decided to stop just watching you from afar and let you know! You may have been charming someone, and you never even realized it.
-Tag others.
-FINALLY THE BRIDE, NOT JUST THE BRIDESMAID.
-Get noticed by unexpected senpais, whether they be shy, stoic, ~above it all~, or seemingly uninterested.

but we get along when I'm inside you;

This isn't hate sex. You don't actually hate each other, you just get along like cats and dogs during the middle of a fireworks show. Speaking of fireworks, though, there is a spark the two of you can't deny, which is what lead you to some sort of intimacy. Maybe it was sexual tension reaching its breaking point, maybe it was something else. But the fact remains that this isn't hate sex, and you're actually more in synch now than you ever have been. In fact, this is the greatest tryst you've ever had, due to all that frustration you have towards them. It begs the question: why don't you two become more?

...then you remember how you get along otherwise.

   low-key dating meme.   


Not every relationship has to be ridiculously world-shattering and universe-encompassing. Sometimes, two people can simply enjoy each others' company and enjoy that little fluttering in their stomachs when they're together.

That's the case for you two. It's dating, having fun, pure and simple. Of course, the catch is, your relationship is actually so simple that it's below the radar. No one knows about it except for the people involved. Maybe you guys are just private like that; on the other hand, it may be a necessity to keep things a secret from others. Maybe you're both team mates, and others on the team would give you grief, or you're not suppose to be dating, or you're not the type to usually date and you're only testing the waters. Perhaps it's the combination of you two, possibly an odd couple, that would bring some controversy or some teasing. Or, you know, you could not want to deal with friends and relatives being busybodies. Your reasons are your own.

Are you content with stealing moments to be together as a couple? Do you want to make your relationship known and the fact that you can't drives you batty? Remember, there are lots of benefits to dating in secret. You can be yourselves completely, away from prying eyes, and get to know each other better as potential longterm romantic partners. After all, you're not at that stage quite yet.

  PORT IN THE STORM


mutual comfort smut meme

You can't find a moment of peace in a day from hell at best or, at worst, when life's burning to embers around you. You're weak, you're weary, it seems that you can't even trust yourself. For just a while, you'd like to leave that all behind. That's understandable; few wouldn't think the same. But in the face of all that thunder and bluster, there is a port in the storm. Its form? The person you're with, whether you've known them forever and a day or have only just met. They're someone here, with you, and on some level, they understand. In spite of, or because of, the peculiars, you want to forget everything for tonight. They can give that to you, and you to them.

This may or may not be love, may all be out of convenience and weakness, but in the long run, it doesn't really matter. What does it that you can pretend you both, and the comfort you're getting, are the only things in this world.

 RESCUE SEX meme


In the grand scheme of things, this may not be your best day ever, but any day you're not dead is a cut above what could be. And, for all intents and purposes, you're not dead - unless, of course, you are, and if that's the case we apologize for assuming. You are, at least, plucked from the jaws of a very precarious and unpleasant situation, be it dangerous and promising a certain demise, a miserable imprisonment, a fight or threat that you stood no chance against, or even just an incredibly awkward moment. Somebody rescued you, and you couldn't be happier. Forget if you'd usually balk at being shown a helping hand, this freedom and safety is worth it.

Your mood cannot be dampened. Why not show your rescuer some "gratitude," in the most intimate way possible? Maybe that's the way of your culture or simply how glad you are at this moment. Speaking of, if giving a reward's not your style, celebrations are in order, anyway. How about life-affirming sex? You both may need it, and the adrenaline's still pumping. On the other hand, this may be when the shoe drops; you've actually always been attracted to them and the perfect time to act has presented itself. Or, hey, perhaps they're attractive and you find their show of courage hot? No need to get too complex.

Now's your turn to rescue them from the ordinary.

They are the Sunlight
The world can sometimes seem like a cold, wicked place, and more than likely, it actually is a cruel place. For days, months, years on end, you never catch a break, everything falling to pieces as soon as you pick it up. Maybe, despite this, you still try your hardest. There has to be a light at the end of the tunnel, doesn't there? The fates don't play favorites, so surely your number is about to come up. Or maybe you've given up and decided to allow yourself to barely float along with only bouts of anger or bitterness to keep you above water. There is no light anywhere, is there?

But there is. There's one bright spot in your life - a person who makes everything worthwhile.

It doesn't really matter how they came to you. What does is that they stay. Whether you admit it or not, you seek comfort from them...and, perhaps, them from you, if you're in the same situation.

So, whether you push them away, treat them right, or go so far as to worship them and put them on a pedestal, you don't want them to go now. You crave being with them, or at least being in their presence. Don't ruin this for yourself. After all, what would you do without your little ray of light? You'll do anything to keep them happy and loved. Anything.

Keep Them Close Smut Meme

You've been assigned, by an outside power or by your own decision, to protect this person and be, essentially, a bodyguard to them. Naturally, you want to keep them close.

But you probably didn't mean to get this close, or protect their body in quite this fashion. Whether it was a temptation from growing to know them so well or part of the plan all along, you're going to sleep with them. Will this be a hurdle to you protecting them...or will this be a new way to take care of them? If it's the former, hopefully you'll be able to disengage and let it be a one-time event.

If it's the latter, consider this: at least it's you having sex with them and not someone else who won't look after their best interests.

 TRIBUTE TO THE GODS
an AU smut meme )


From the beginning of time, people have worshipped the gods of their choosing by offering sacrifices. The reasons - forgiveness, for good fortune, a prosperous crop season- varied, as did the mode of showing such reverence. In some cultures, a simple feast would suffice. In others, those nations more prone to violence and warfare, blood was called for.


Now, the gods once again call for bodies to be offered, but no entrails will be spilt. Instead, they ask for carnal pleasure. Why they need sex, no one knows. Whether it be for entertainment, to inspire fealty, or even in order to keep their powers, they require tribute all the same. Often, "younger" gods will need more sacrifices and more followers, while more established and older gods become known for individualized sex acts and habits. For the mortals, not only is being given by your people a great honor, but being a sex tribute to the gods has its perks. Pleasing a god will win extra special blessings, and, tales say, some gods will fall in love with their partners and keep them by their side, an action that means bestowing immortality.

So, where does your character fall in all this? Are they a mortal? A god? This is an AU, so all characters can be twisted into gods, somehow: ie, the Starks from GoT could be primal, barbarian winter gods while the Homestuck trolls could be elder gods from the outer rim of space. Is the sacrifice consensual, or is there a reluctant human or a god who wishes they didn't have to bother involved? Most importantly, is the sex good enough to earn benefit for all?

HOW TO PLAY )

  • Comment with your character, preferences, and info. If you're AUing your character into being a god, feel free to include some details like what their element or domain would be, family matters/pantheons, if they're young/old, how they feel about the whole tribute process, what they especially like, what it's like to outlive lovers, if they have worshippers, their nature in general, and etc. Go nuts and have fun.

the rom-com meme

You know about these movies, books, and graphic novels: you watch them when you want to dream about love, shout at them when your heart is broken, often times roll your eyes and return to the library in disgust, or get sucked into them with no hope of return. They have their flaws and clichés, their funny moments, and sometimes, cinematography that makes you sick because of rotating kissing scenes. Few can resist them, though. No one is strong enough to resist even watching a few minutes before fleeing.

Hopefully you’ll enjoy being in one more! After all, what is the worst that can happen? Love perseveres despite all odds and you find your true love? Just hope you’re not the bitchy girlfriend or the jerk of an ex trying to get a second chance.


directions

1. Comment with your character, series, preferences, etc in the subject.
2. Roll a number between 1-20 with the RNG for a prompt.
3. Reply to others and play the scenario out!

prompts

1. ONLINE ROMANCE ❤ Text messages, video chats, forums… technology has really expanded the dating world and how people connect and communicate. How did you guys meet? Dare you meet in person? What if they lied on their profile pages?

2. TRAPPED ❤ Ah, a cliché of clichés. Elevator? In a horribly long line? A closet somehow? It is sure to be a memorable meeting, to say the least. Do you just share a miserable experience or do you trade phone numbers and a wink?

3. SQUABBLING FAMILIES ❤ Romeo and Juliet has become a trope in and of itself; but ignore all the scholars shouting that everyone is misunderstanding it. Who doesn’t like true love overcoming petty fighting and misunderstanding? After lots more fighting and a bit of heartbreak and misunderstanding?

4. PRETEND TO DATE ❤ We’ll let you decide why you’re part of this crazy scheme. Trying to make someone jealous? Appease your family? Either way, it’s going to back fire because someone will find out the truth and you’ll be in love.

5. IN LOVE WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND ❤ Don’t do it. Resist. Think about those horrible, embarrassing moments you shared, all their gross habits. Don’t ruin the best friendship you have ever had for a chance to kiss them. Oh, what the hell, you know you can’t stand by and let them date someone else when you know you’re their true love.

6. EMOTIONAL CONFESSION ❤ This is the best part of the movie! Are you soaking wet from the rain? Are there tears or is someone shouting to the heavens? Is it a passionate confession, one never meant to be said? How do you react? Do you reproach their feelings, or do you only see them as a friend?

7. MARRIED IN VEGAS ❤ Drinking and driving is a horrible idea. So is drinking and getting married. Now that you have woken up with the knot tied, are you going to file for divorce or are you going to try to make it work? How does everyone else react?

8. GIRL NEXT DOOR ❤ They are adorable, girl or boy or whatever. They are sweet and endearing and are the one making you blush and draw your names in a notebook. Can you gather enough courage to ask them out? Or will you just dream of them from afar, gazing at them through your bedroom window?

9. THE HELP ❤ Cue the nanny getting mixed up in your personal life. A crush on the maid. Your lawyer becoming something more. One way or another, this is a bit of a power play kind of trope, blurring professional and personal lines. But it will work out in the end, one way or another, right?

10. WHIRLWIND ROMANCE ❤ You met in a foreign land, barely understanding each other, but sure that you were meant to be. Now that the romance has settled a bit and the honeymoon phase is ending, can you really get along? Are you really as in love as you first claimed? What about other obstacles that pop up along the way?

11. MARRYING THE WRONG GUY ❤ Or girl, depending upon your preferences. Either way, you cannot stand idly by when the person your true love is marrying is a liar or a cheater or already married or just not what they really need! Interrupt that ceremony! Sabotage all their dates! Don’t give up until they realize the truth!

12. CLASS DIFFERENCES ❤ A classic! This time, the odds are stacked up against you: he is poor; you’re royalty. She is wanted by the police and you’re in line to become a saint. For whatever reason, there are major social barriers between you two lovebirds. Can you overcome them and any conflicts that will arise?

13. THE BET ❤ You’re a total jerk if you date someone just because of a bet or a dare. The person you’re dating doesn’t deserve that, no matter how they might seem at first. Will you confess before you get in too deep, taking the loss gracefully? Or will it all spiral out of control and lead to a horrible liar revealed ending?

14. MORTAL ENEMIES ❤ Be it something that happened in your childhood and you’re still bitter, or even just something you can’t explain, you hate each other with an undying passion. What caused all of this? Are others fed up with your petty squabble? What if they conspire against you to get you to make love and not war?

15. MIX UP ❤ You were mistaken for the bride at the wedding. He was assumed to be your boyfriend at a family reunion. For whatever reason, someone got something wrong, and you decided to keep the charade up. But does it last or fool everyone? Do you discover it might not be so bad, being with this unexpected person?

16. THE CONTEST WINNER ❤ By chance or meddling friends, you were entered into a contest where you got to go on a date with someone rich and famous. How did it go? Was it magical? Were there insane fangirls? Might there actually be a second date? Or was he an absolute jerk and for some reason wants to prove himself?

17. SUMMER FLING ❤ Relationships over the summer are supposed to be short and fun, a nice memory to look back upon. Until that person shows up in your every day life! Is it a dream come true? A total shocker? Now that the fantasy of summer has worn off, are you actually a good couple or horribly misguided?

18. COSTUME PARTY ❤ Behind a mask, they stole your heart. Be it words they said or how wonderful it felt to dance with them, you want to find out who they are and where they went. But how do you when you have so little to go on?

19. WORKPLACE ROMANCE ❤ Kisses in the storage closet. Looks over the water fountain. Gossip in between massive amounts of paperwork and deadlines… There is nothing like an office romance, especially the forbidden appeal of falling for your boss and having to keep it a secret, lest both of your careers are forever marred…

20. WILDCARD ❤ Is there another scenario you want to play? Do you want to mix it up or roll again? Go for it!

 THE UNEXPECTED CRUSH MEME


You're badass like a Winchester. Logical like a Vulcan. High strung like a shonen hero. High class like a Tolkien elf. Charming like Flynn Rider. Surly like a Homestuck troll or prince of all Saiyans. Crafty like Loki or Jack Frost. Or maybe, just maybe, you're tsundere as all hell. Whatever the case may be, you're too cool for and way above crushes. Except for the giant, schoolgirl crush they're nursing right now.


The crush could be could be someone like you, all badass or, or maybe those sweetie cuties you think are the only ones to get crushes. Now wouldn't that be funny? A grouchy bounty hunter over the moon with a borderline-Disney princess? Perhaps not that stark of a contrast...unless you'd like to. You could always go for the more mild-mannered but still polite and friendly anchor for your hot-headed warrior or cruel maniac.

Two nice cutiepies getting together, or maybe a secretly nice guy or gal crushing on someone who'd bring that out in them? Perhaps an awkward introvert longing after a perky extrovert or two assholes just being blushy jerks all over the place! Really, though, I just wanted a silly crush meme. sometimes you just want these things, including lots of fluff and potential adorability, bizarreness, fun, and denials.

 LOOSEN UP shipping meme
You'd never consider holding somebody's hand. Hugging or kissing, especially in public? Banish the thought! Dates are completely off the table, too, as are most overly-tender shows of affection. In fact, sometimes even smiling or being in a giddy mood seems like a pointless endeavor.

Until now.

You've found yourself with someone who makes you want to do all that and more. So, go ahead. Loosening up is never a bad thing!

 Save the Day, Get the Girl (or Guy)


Really, you're sort of a drifter. You're used to coming in, getting the job done, having the day saved, and moving on. It's just the way you've always lived your life. Now, though, there's a wrench thrown in the routine: you've earned some attention and affection from somebody affected by your actions. So you've saved the day - and got the girl or guy.


Will you stay on your path, ignoring all temptation? If you let yourself enjoy their presence for a little while, though, will you be able to keep going when the time comes...or will you want something you know you can't have?

 Indebted by Your Kindness


They showed you kindness, perhaps in a way you'd never seen before, perhaps in a way you can never repay. But you're trying; in exchange, you're offering your loyalty, for how much or how little that's worth. For them, you'd do anything: you'd fight, you'd protect, you'd be their right hand or their biggest advocate, if they needed it and you can offer it. As long as you get to stay by their side, it doesn't matter.


So, you certainly don't have to worry about your bond surpassing what you have now or becoming romantic, do you? That will just get in your way of being there for them. Since you've only got their best interest at heart, it won't bother you if someone else were to pursue them...

...right?

As long as you get to stay by their side. As long as you get to fight for them. As long as they need you.

Blood and Glory


There is nothing quite like the arena, the cheer of the crowd, hundreds of pairs of eyes all watching you, the way your life balances on the edge of the blade. They say there are two kinds of fighters, those that value survival above all, and those who value victory.

Maybe this has always been your world, and the arena has always been a part of it. Or perhaps you've been brought here against your will. But surely you know the expression: When in Rome...

Rules

1. Comment with your character and canon.
2. Include things such as scenarios, settings, and whether you'd like to play as an AU or something the characters have been dragged into.
3. Good fighting.


ARENA VARIANTS

Historical //
Whether it's 300 BC or 300 AD, whether you're slaves, volunteers, or a member of the city's favorite team, you're in Rome or something like it. I hear the sand makes the blood easier to clean up.

Fantasy //
Mythical creatures set loose to be battled, magic in the bindings that keeps you in line, this life may be even more dangerous. At least the architecture is pretty.

Space //
You are on a large ship, or perhaps an entire planet, that exists only as an arena for battles to take place, with exploits beamed across the galaxy.

Your Own World //
Turns out even in familiar places there are people bloodthirsty enough to want to see these sorts of battles. The arena might be makeshift, or re-purposed, or even a new stadium made for the purpose, but the sentiment behind the games is the same.


SCENARIOS

1// Man vs Beast
Today your opponents are not other gladiators, but animals, or monsters. Try and stay alive.

2// There Can Be Only One
Both of you have made it to the end of the battle, but there can be only one victor today. You must come to accords in one way or another, or else persuade the crowd to have a change of heart.

3// Fresh Meat
One of you is a veteran gladiator, the other one has just been brought in, willingly or otherwise. Time to haze the greenhorn, or take them under your wing.

4// Biggest Fan
One of you is not a fighter at all, but you do enjoy watching the battles, and now you have a chance to meet your heroes.

5// Picking Sides
The next battle will be between a number of teams, you'll need to find your partner ahead of time if you want a chance.

6// Crowd Pleaser
One of you is a known favorite of the masses. The other... isn't.

7// Protector
You've made an agreement. No matter what happens or who arrives in the arena, you will keep your friend alive.

8// Night Life

One of you is not a fighter, but you are close to their level, there to entertain the fighters after the arena has quieted for the night with things like drink and dance.

9// Volunteer and the Impressed
One of you is there because you want to be. The life of battle and fighting for fun just appeals to you you're ready to throw yourself into the ring. This is causing some friction between you and the others.

10// Revolt
You've made your plans, there's a weakness in the arena, and come the next show, you are all getting out.

11// Good Hunting
One of you have been thrown into the arena with little more than the shirt on your back. The other, in full armor with a few nice toys to use. The end result seems simple, doesn't it?

12// Patron
One of you is a person of wealth who would liked to get more involved in a gladiator's life, such as providing them with some useful perks. The other of you could really use a leg up.
