In Everything But Name

You've shared glances, felt the connection, figured out your feelings for each other. Both of you know that you want to be close - as close as you can be. And there's the catch, because there always is one, isn't there? As close as you can be.

Because while you might consider yourselves together, that can be in everything but name. You still have to face the harsh realities you live in or the very nature of you. So you play what role you have to, regardless of what you know in your heart. Deep-vested knowledge, security, and subtle gestures will have to do for now.

But one day, will that not be enough?

 star☆crossed L O V E R S


When two people come together in a relationship, it's a beautiful thing. What can be wrong with love, right? Right? Except when the union is completely and totally wrong, for whatever reason. Then things can get a little messy.


How To Play


1. Comment with your character, listing their name, canon, etc, along with any preferences.
2. Comment around to others, using the RNG to determine the scenario. It doesn't have to be a lovey-dovey relationship, obviously. There can be hate, sorrow, lust, whatever.
3. Thread! Have fun! Do things!


Scenarios

1. Warring Factions: You belong to rival organizations, armies, clubs, etc. Whatever it is, you're not on the same team.

 

2. Soldiers on the Battlefield: Or maybe you are on the same side, but this is the wrong time and the wrong place. Plus, attachments cause distractions.

 

3. Bodyguard and the Guarded: Just like the movie with Kevin Costner! One of you has been hired to protect the other for some reason, and feelings are starting to grow. Are you a professional and cut things off, or do you give in?

 

4. Prince/ss and Knight: Similar to the above, but with a whole 'nother level of wrong...one of you is royal. Courtly love is okay; still, don't forget your place.

 

5. Enemies: This vendetta is personal, and you totally hate this person! Don't you? Perhaps you're maybe just rivals, or something as serious as superhero and villain.

 

6. Family: The ultimate taboo. This person is related to you, so there's no way you should indulge this desire, even if it's the most pure love there ever was.

 

7. Age Difference: The years between you should keep you both at bay, but it's easier said than done.

 

8. Teacher/Student: Teachers and students have a unique bond, and to corrupt it is a dangerous thing. Will you dare to act on emotions that could put you both in a destructive place?

 

9. Already Spoken For: One or both of you are already involved with someone else, but the heart wants what the heart wants. Just know that you can't have your cake and eat it, too.

 

10. Not Compatible: Your personalities or jobs make it so it's hard for you to be together.

 

11. Not Compatible...in Another Way: You're both different species, which means you're either afraid to take your relationship to a physical level or you can't because of differences in biologies.

 

12. Not Ready for Love: You took a vow (or celibacy, of chastity, of dedication), you're married to your work, or you just don't want to be involved with anyone. Too bad!

 

13. Rich and Poor: One of you has the money while the other is from more modest means. Can the 1% and the 99% ever be bedfellows, literally?

 

14. Hurt Before: Your heart has been broken, and maybe there's been no time to heal. But here you are.

 

15. WILDCARD

 THE FALSE PRETENSES MEME
a shipping meme



It's only a natural response to want to be shown love and affection, no matter how hard your exterior is. If not in those words - if you truly are that cold - perhaps what you seek is adoration or worship. Regardless of how you slice it, there's something invigorating to the ego in being the object of someone's ardor. And that's what you are now, to put it mildly; the way they look at you, you'd think you hung the moon and stars. In fact, their love for you has lead to a relationship with them. Congratulations! It's all going so well.


Except that it's all based on a lie.

You're not the person they think you are...maybe even literally. They could think you're someone else completely, as such, or it could be more abstract. They don't know what you've really done, do they? The crimes you've committed, the blood on your hands - what if blood they cherished? It's doubtful if they knew what you truly were, they'd look at you with such tenderness. That's not something you can deal with. You've grown used to them and don't want to let them go. Not now.

You love them. They've wormed their way into your heart, and you just can't lose them. You just...can't. Despite what your intentions were at the beginning (you were being purposefully cruel, you were playing along, you didn't want to hurt them, you wanted to give them what they wanted), you've bought into your own hype. Whatever you have to do to keep this ruse up, you'll do.

But, of course, what's done in the dark will be brought to the light. Soon, those eyes that look towards you will be filled with pain and doubt; you can't keep your little secret forever, and it will only gut your lover in the end.

  • Comment with your character and preferences.
  • Be sure to include which side you want to play (the "deceiver" or the "deceived"), if applicable. The more info you share, the more taggable you are.

The Pegging Meme


A meme for writing out pegging, pretty much what it says on the tin.

Pegging is fun. Pegging is good. Letting a the femme-identified take charge can be fun, for anyone willing to be on the other end of that strap. So use this meme for letting ladies nail some dudes-- or other ladies, use it for strap on sex I don't care.

Whatever it is, we've got an f-dom with equipment.

— library meme 
 
So they say the library is a place of refuge for the bookworms and the hardworking souls just trying to eke their way to a passing grade. Maybe your character has wound up here to study, or they're here to finally pay off that fine they've accrued from all their overdue books. Perhaps they're one of the frazzled librarians trying to find something that got misplaced. Whatever the case, they're here now, so remember to be quiet!

— prompts
 
1) STUDYING.
You have three finals over the course of the next week and you probably haven't studied enough yet. Time to hit the books for that last-minute cramming, and pick a god and pray.

2) GROUP SESSION.
Despite the heavy demand, looks like you were the lucky person who snagged a study room. Did you remember to remind your friends to show up? Are you actually getting any work done? Or are you just drawing things on the whiteboard because what is life without a few risks?

3) WORKING.
The library has to be manned too! Your character could be one of the harried librarians dealing with an unexpected slew of visitors in the afternoon. Look: the sweet old lady who's trying to do her due diligence before she adopts a cat? She needs some help. And as much as it sucks, someone's gotta handle the logistics of requisitioning the right materials for the usual visitors.

4) TROUBLE.
Sometimes things get out of your control. For all you know, those footsteps trailing behind you for the past few minutes don't actually belong to someone minding their own business. Time to duck into the library and shake them off your tail. Maybe someone inside will help you out? Or, worse, whoever was pursuing you could just follow you right in, and now it's a mad dash as you topple bookshelves trying to keep them from catching you—or worse.

5) MISSION.
There's important case work you're prepping for and you have a lot of old archives to dig through. You've got all these books and papers spread out on the table and the clock is ticking and—oh god, are you going to be ready in time?

6) ADVENTURE.
This isn't just some average library. It's a trove of ancient knowledge and you're the first one to step into its vaunted halls for centuries, heedless of the traps. Perhaps you're the intrepid researcher who's come here to discover the lost secret to sealing an eldritch abomination that's on its way to doom humanity. For all you know, that old tome you're picking up? Maybe it's about to grow teeth and eat you. Hey, wait, that suit of armor that you thought was just decoration... That thing might be chasing you. Or that owl statue to your left, that thing looks cute—or wait, was its head facing this direction earlier...?

   innocence kink meme


innocence - noun; lack of knowledge or of worldly experience or sophistication
kink - noun; a person's unusual sexual preference

It's simple. One character is innocent - be it in the way of the world or in the way of sex or both. They may not be the perfect image of purity in other ways, but they're mostly pure as the undriven snow. The other character is more experienced. The two are in a sexual relationship or about to be in one. The innocence of one should be a deterrent for the other...it's not. Even if they feel guilty, the experienced partner is turned on by it.

  • Comment with your character and preferences.
  • Mention which role they'd be likely to fill. Remember, even a grizzled space marine could be innocent when it comes to sex!
  • Tag others. Use the RNG or not.
PROMPTS
APPEALING → Their inexperience and innocence is a definite turn on, no matter how much you try and deny it.
TEACHING → Why not show them how to please you...and how to be pleasured in return?
GUILT → Oh gosh, what kind of sick pervert are you?
VIRGINITY → The ultimate form of purity and innocence.
NOT ALL THE WAY → You're not pure! You just haven't gone all the way yet.
AGE DIFFERENCE → Nothing drives home an age difference quite like realizing how innocent your partner is.
SIZE DIFFERENCE → Tiny is nice, cute, and always to be protected, right?
CORRUPTION → They're so pure - you want to end that. There's nothing that excites you more.
NAIVETY → With how naive they are, they'd be so easy to manipulate.
PRETENDING → Really, you're not innocent. You're just pretending because you know it draws your partner in. Optional roleplaying!
TRYING HARD → They're trying to not appear so virginal; it's backfiring and making them more adorable.
MIX MATCH → They're as virtuous as could be, but they are dressed as slutty as could be.
INNUENDO → They're in a compromising situation and don't get why you're so into this at the moment.
TWO INNOCENTS → Don't worry, you can figure this out together.
NOT AS INNOCENT AS YOU'D EXPECT → You expected them to be a complete little angel. Not so fast!
CHANGED → They were once a picture of incorruptibility. Now, they're still as sweet, but they've got spice up their sleeve, as well.

— garden meme
 
 
Sometimes, all you need is a brief retreat from the rest of the world. A place filled with the soothing scent of flowers and the gentle touch of the passing breeze. Might be real nice to just lie down in the grass and relax for a bit...

— scenario prompts
 
 
1) RELAXING.
A garden's a good a place as any to read a book in peace or get an impromptu nap, right? The sun is out, it's nice and warm, and—well, now you can just close your eyes for a spell and bask in the warmth as you drift off to sleep.

2) OUTING.
You've come here to look at the flowers with friends, or you thought it might be a nice place to bring a date. Settle down for a picnic, or have a nice, scenic stroll.

3) EVENT.
You've been trapped mingling with other guests or foreign dignitaries or greasy bigwigs or just about anyone else you might find in a stuffy banquet, so it's time to escape into the garden of the venue for some air. There could be others trying to catch a break just like you are. Just be careful not to overhear anything you shouldn't be listening to.

4) ASSIGNMENT.
You've come here for a reason. There's a target you've been assigned to tail or neutralize, or something valuable you have to pilfer from an estate. Infiltrating through the garden seems like your best bet for remaining undetected. If you're lucky, everything will go as planned. And if not, have fun getting away unscathed.

5) GARDEN WORK.
You've been tasked with fixing up the garden in some way, whether it means planting new things or tending to what's already there. Are you slacking off on your duties or hard at work?

6) TRAGEDY.
The garden is merely the stage for a disaster. The birds and insects have gone silent; another threat lies hidden amidst the foliage. Someone is hunting you—or you, them. Is that the smell of smoke and the beginnings of a fire? Perhaps this will be the setting of a cataclysmic battle.

7) SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
What started as an ordinary stroll through the garden has turned into something else entirely. There's something unearthly about this place, like you've stepped into a different world. Perhaps it's a gateway to another realm, or you've otherwise stumbled across some mythical secret. Or, alternatively, you aren't really in a garden—you're just here in a dream.

8) OTHER.
Anything else you can think of!
 
 
— setting prompts
 
 
A) PARK / BOTANICAL GARDEN.
The garden is part of a well-maintained park with a large variety of plants. There's a pond somewhere lined with a series of willows. Sometimes, geese, ducks, and other waterfowl pass through.

B) PALACE GARDEN.
If there's a magnificent palace, it stands to reason that the garden is just as beautiful, right? Think countless species of flowers, beautifully maintained trees, fish ponds with gorgeous water lilies, butterflies fluttering in the distance.

C) FIELD OF FLOWERS.
It's not quite an actual garden, but if you go to a field of flowers, you could make a wreath. Or flower crowns, if that's more of your thing. There could be four-leaf clovers hidden among the wildflowers.

D) MAZE.
Hedge mazes can be fun sometimes, right? Maybe there's a legend to go alongside it: if you and your beloved start at opposite ends of the maze and meet again in the center, your love will be eternal.

E) SHADED GARDEN.
There's a walkway lined with flowering trees. A shaded area with a gazebo, a table, a set of chairs. Today could be a fine day for some tea or coffee. You could host a little garden party.

F) GREENHOUSE.
It's warm in the greenhouse and long rows of plants line every available surface inside. Are you tending to the plants or looking to make a purchase?

G) HOUSE GARDEN.
It's nothing spectacular, but you have your own little garden that you've been taking care of, growing flowers and vegetables and anything else that strikes your whimsy.

H) WINTER GARDEN.
With the cold weather, the flowers have withered and the trees lie dormant, their barren branches coated in frost. Snow covers the grass and lines the benches; a hush has fallen over this place. Are those footprints in the snow? Have you come here for a purpose?

I) OTHER.
Anything else you can think of!

hidden relationship;

The fact that you're in a relationship with this person isn't public knowledge. Actually, 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 supposed 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. In a way, it's ideal.

...still, do you ever wish you could scream from the rooftops how much you care for your significant other?

  • Head of household/"1950s" household kink is basically what it sounds like, and is an offshoot of BDSM-proper. Read more about it herehere, or here. For convenience sake, let's make everything gender neutral. If that's you're thing, anyway! Feel free to play up gender roles if that's what makes your biscuits brown.

KISS KISS KISS MEME



rules
♥ Leave a comment with your character's name and fandom. 
♥ When replying, RNG for a number between 1 and 21. The number you get is your kiss!
♥ Go from there! WARNING kissing can lead to anything so read with carefully. 


kisses
1. French Kiss
Probably the most famous kiss there is, the French kiss is an open-mouthed kiss where one person’s tongue touches the other person’s tongue. Also called a “tongue kiss,” the French kiss easy enough to execute, but it can take years to master.

2. Butterfly Kiss
To give someone a butterfly kiss, get close to them so the tips of your eyelashes are touching theirs. Then blink very fast so your eyelashes flutter together like butterfly wings. It’s a fun, cute thing to do while you’re catching your breath from more traditional kisses. You can also give someone a solo butterfly kiss by fluttering your eyelids against their cheek.

3. Single-Lip Kiss
To give someone a single-lip kiss, take one of their lips between yours and gently suck or tug on it. It’s an awfully romantic kiss, and if you do it right, you’ll send tingles up and down your sweetie’s spine.

4. Spiderman Kiss
Based on the kiss in the 2002 movie Spider-Man, the Spiderman kiss involves kissing someone whose face is upside-down from yours, so your top lip kisses their bottom lip and vice versa.

5. Earlobe Kiss
great kiss to to perform while you’re taking a break from lip kisses, the earlobe kiss involves taking someone’s earlobe lightly between your lips and tugging gently downward. For a more intense earlobe kiss, add a little bit of tongue, or use a gentle sucking motion on their earlobe.

6. Lip Gloss Kiss
This is a fun, flirty kiss for girlfriends to give their boyfriends. Put on a healthy amount of lip gloss or ChapStick, then rub your lips on your partners’ lips until theirs are coated, too. For extra fun, surprise your partner with a sweet, fruity lip gloss flavor.

7. Eskimo Kiss
In an Eskimo kiss, two people rub their noses back and forth against each other. It’s based on real kisses that people in Eskimo cultures give their friends. Just like with lip kisses, Eskimo kisses are best executed with your eyes closed.

8. Cheek Kiss
The cheek kiss is exactly what it sounds like - a closed-mouth kiss against someone’s cheek. Cheek kisses can be used as friendly greetings, flirty thank-you’s or cute, unexpected ways to say good-bye to your boyfriend or girlfriend.

9. Hickey
A hickey technically isn’t a kiss; it’s a red mark (a bruise, really) left on the skin after someone sucks hard enough on it. Hickeys hurt a little to get, but some people think the sucking feels good, especially on the side of the neck. It can be embarrassing to walk around with a hickey, so before you start sucking, get permission first.

10. Secret Message Kiss
In the middle of a French kiss, spell out a secret message with the tip of your tongue against their tongue. It might feel a little funny to the other person, but at least you’ll be getting your message across.

11. Vampire Kiss
The vampire kiss is a deep kiss on someone’s neck that can involve sucking or light biting on the skin. Since some people find it painful rather than sexy, and since the sucking might leave a hickey, always ask permission before you give someone a vampire kiss.

12. Wet Kiss
Wet kisses are any open-mouthed kisses, with or without tongue. A little bit of wetness during a kiss can be sexy, but try not to overdo it: too much saliva is sloppy. Alternate between wet kisses and closed-mouth kisses and single-lip kisses, and be sure to swallow occasionally so you don’t accidentally drool all over your partner.

13. Lizard Kiss
The lizard kiss involves flicking your tongue in and out of your partner’s mouth in tight, quick strokes (picture the way a lizard moves its tongue). This is a silly kiss you can try just for fun, but it generally should be avoided because it feels kind of creepy to get.

14. Air Kiss
The air kiss is a sophisticated gesture you can use as a greeting to your friends and relatives. To give one, rest your cheek against their cheek and make a kissing sound with your lips.

15. The Biting Kiss
The biting kiss is a more aggressive form of the French kiss. Like the French kiss, it’s open-mouthed and incorporates tongue, but as you pull back, your teeth lightly grab onto your sweetie’s tongue for just a second. Try it once and see how your partner responds. Some people love it, but others think it’s painful or weird.

16. Angel Kiss
To give someone an angel kiss, kiss them very gently on their eyelids or on the spot right next to their eye, using just your lips. It’s a very romantic way to wake someone up or say goodbye.

17. Neck Kiss
After French kissing for a while, some people mix it up by trailing their mouth down and “Frenching” the other person’s neck. To execute a neck kiss perfectly, go light on the saliva, focus on the motion of your lips, never stay in once place for very long and never suck hard enough to leave a hickey.

18. Jawline Kiss
To plant a jawline kiss on someone, give them a firm kiss on the bottom of their jaw, right where their face meets their neck. If they respond well to it, make a path of jawline kisses up to their ear and give them an earlobe kiss.

19. Breath Kiss
The breath kiss is a fun, silly kiss that’s almost more of a game than a kiss. To do it, open your mouth, inhale deeply and lock lips with your sweetie (like you’re performing CPR). Slowly exhale into their mouth while they’re inhaling, “passing” the breath to them. Without moving, slowly inhale while your partner exhales. Keep passing the breath back and forth until one of you runs out of breath or you both erupt in giggles.

20. The Love Kiss
The love kiss is any kiss that you give while thinking tender, loving thoughts about your partner. You might not realize it, but your kissing style can be influenced by whatever’s on your mind. Smooching with love on your mind will make your kisses extra soft and sweet. Whether it’s on your partner’s mouth, neck, ear or forehead, the love kiss is the most romantic kiss you can give.

21. The First Kiss
... And, by special request, there is also the first kiss. There are many types of first kisses; the RNG will decide which kind you get.

01. It's your first date, and you're dropping them off at the door. Are they going to lean in? Should you..?

02. You have been friends since forever. Everyone knows you like each other, but the moment quite hasn't arisen for the first kiss. Until now.

03. Awkward first kisses! Maybe you just bumped noses, or you kissed their chin instead. Time for attempt number two!

04. 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.)

05. 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.

06. 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!

07. Either pick one, mesh some together, or re-roll!

The Wedding Night Meme
a smut/shipping meme

The wedding bells have rung - or the correct sacrifices have been made, depending on your culture. Whatever the case may be, you're married now, and the night is yours. However, there is one expectation on you: it's time to consummate the marriage.

Whether you're in love, in this marriage because it was arranged, or absolutely in hate with your new spouse, you're with them now. Have you two been intimate before this, or is your first time...with them or first time period? Do you know what you want and are you full of lust, or do you have no clue what's going on? Maybe you even have to seduce your partner who wants nothing to do with this!

  1. Comment with your character and include your preferences.
  2. Comment to others.
  3. Thread out wedding night smut and shipping.

the monster & the maiden fair meme



There's a long precedent in folklore and myth of beautiful young people - both men and women - being kidnapped by monsters: dragons, beasts, goblins, demons, elves, vampires, wolves, or even evil humans. In the end, however, these prisoners are almost always rescued and brought back to civilization to live a normal and happy life.

But what if they didn't want to leave their jailor?

They've seen behind the surface and have begun to sympathize with this "monster;" no, more than that, they've fallen for them. Will this story have a happy ending? Will the monster believe that anyone could love them? Most importantly, though, can the two of them be left alone without any attempts at a "rescue?"


how to play

  • Comment with your character, your preference, and what role they'll play. Feel free to AU characters to your desire role.
  • Reply to others.
  • Thread anything that could remotely fit under the umbrella theme. Was the kidnapping just that, or did both parties know (and care) for each other before, making it a collaborative, mutual effort? Perhaps you'd prefer to play the actual Beauty and The Beast-style getting to know each other or seeing behind the grizzly facade. What about an attempted "rescue?" Or maybe you could thread out a scene where the prisoner runs away from the society they were forced back into and returns to their beloved beast! It's all up to you. You could even do smut if you wanted to, but this isn't a smut meme.

— city at night meme
 
 
You've got the world around you yawning with potential, possibilities fanning out before your very eyes—after all, they say the city doesn't sleep at night. The skyline's illuminated with glittering lights, and even now, the streets are bustling with activity. So here's the real question: where are you at this hour?

— scenario prompts
 
 
1) WORKING.
You're still caught up at the office or wherever it is you're holed up. It's getting late, but there's work to be done.

2) RELAXING.
You're warm and comfortable someplace indoors, whether it's in a cozy nook of a café or maybe just in your own apartment. There's no other place you really need to be, is there?

3) MEET-UP/DATE.
Is there someone you're seeing for dinner? A date? Maybe you're going bar-hopping together with some friends, or your attendance is expected at some special event. Alternatively, there's someone you're meeting with to make a deal of some kind, whether it's perfectly legitimate or something that might invite trouble with local enforcement.

4) OUT FOR A WALK.
Sometimes, it's nice to get out for some fresh air—or, well, as fresh as it gets with all the air pollution around you. The park's not too far away; it might be nice and quiet at this hour, if you don't run into any...

5) TROUBLE.
It's getting late and it's dark outside, but someone has been tailing you for a while. Walking faster only makes them speed up; they're doggedly persistent. What to do now? Is there a busy street you can turn on to for help? Or maybe it's time to confront your pursuer... On the flip side, you're the one tracking someone. For what reason? Well, only you would know, right?

6) OTHER.
Anything else you can think of!
 
 
— setting prompts
 
 
A) STREETS/ALLEYS.
Are you visiting a busy district teeming with people? Or are you out on a quieter street? It can be dark out there, especially if you turn onto a smaller one without many streetlamps. Watch your step. Some of the alleyways might make good shortcuts if you're trying to get somewhere fast, but there's also trouble to be found sometimes. Don't get cornered anywhere, and especially don't get too curious if you see something suspicious in one of the dumpsters...

B) IN TRANSIT.
You're between locations right now, just trying to get on with your evening. You have some options, like public transportation: the bus, the train, the subway. Alternatively, you're a fancier kind of person: you've got your own car that you're driving, or better yet, you have a chauffeur and a private car. Or, you know, you're just taking a taxi or using a ride-share app. There are also transitional spaces like parking lots or garages.

C) DINING.
Some cities are melting pots of different cultures; you're bound to find countless spots at which to eat. There are small cafés if you want a quick bite, or fancier restaurants where you can wine and dine. You could support a small family business by dropping by at a local hole in the wall—sometimes the most authentic spots with the best food are nondescript locations. Or if you're really trying to impress, go for some famous Michelin three-star.

D) NIGHT LIFE.
Bars, clubs, lounges—all of it's fair game. Remember to drink responsibly—or don't, if you're looking to really forget about your troubles for a while. Just know that you'll only have yourself to blame for that raging hangover in the morning.

E) CORPORATE BUILDING.
In a larger city, major corporations might be headquartered in the glittering skyscrapers that line the most expensive districts. There are all kinds of businesses—banks, law firms, finance companies, tech groups, to state just a few. Some places might keep their lights on pretty late at night for the white-collar workers burning the midnight oil; others, perhaps not. Do you fit somewhere in this equation? Or if you're here for something more exciting, there's always corporate espionage...

F) SHOPS.
A lot of shops could be closed by now, but maybe it's that final hour before that mall or outlet you wanted to visit locks their doors for the evening. Time for some last-second shopping! Snatch up that deal before it's gone, or be sure to buy a gift for your date before it's too late!

G) HOME.
You're at home, wherever that is—an apartment, a condo, a house somewhere, or maybe something more extravagant. Real estate can get expensive in the city, especially in popular locations. Do you have a tiny apartment that covers all your basic needs? Or something much nicer, like the type of penthouse people usually only see in movies, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows?

H) CITY SQUARE.
Some city squares are hubs of activity, filled with street performers, pop-up stores, or food stalls. There's a lot you could do, especially when it's nighttime and the little lights strung around the place look so pretty.

I) ABANDONED SPACE.
Every city has its fair share of abandoned warehouses or other buildings that are slated for demolition. Sometimes they attract certain types of crowds that would make your average person think twice before confronting. A lot of places are off-limits, but every so often, the no-trespassing sign is more of a suggestion than a real threat, right?

J) OTHER.
Anything else you can think of!

"FAKE" FAKE DATING MEME

aka 'fake turned real'


Whether you're trying to make someone else jealous, trying to save a stranger from a creep on the subway, doing a spy mission, running a con, trying to get your parents off your back about being single at a holiday dinner, or any number of other reasons, fake relationships are a hugely popular trope. From there, the hook that sinks downward is that the best laid plans go awry; what started off as pretend turns all too real. Of course, that'd never happen to you, right?

...rrrrrriiiiight?

  ALWAYS COME BACK

smut meme;




They may be a rambler, a gambler, always on the run, a wanted criminal, someone with a higher calling, or just not the type to spend time with you (which may be fine by you), yet somehow, they'll always find their way back to your door. And they'll, again and again, find themselves wanting you, for support, for healing, for feeling alive, for venting frustration and anger, for anything and everything at all.

You'll welcome them with open arms...and an open bed, because you want them, too.

the orpheus & eurydice meme

You've lost someone dear. An important piece. By surprise or not, the loss rips you to your core. You'd do anything to get them back, buy a one way ticket to drag them from the pits. So here comes the devil with an offer you can't refuse. Are you willing to pay the price? Can you keep your word on the conditions?

Down below
Six-feet-under-the-ground below
Course there is another way
But nah, I ain't supposed to say


Join us on a journey to the river Styx. Look for your heart and bring them back. It seems like a simple set-up- But there's a catch (there always is). A trial to face, an impossible caveat. You're willing to risk it all for them. Will you succeed or does your shot slip through your fingers right at the last moment. And will that weight crush you?

With all your heart?
Well, that's a start


This is a meme based on the Myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, a tale from Greek mythology about a musician who lost his wife. All he had to do to bring her back from the after life was lead her out with out turning back to look at her. Unfortunately her silence unnerved him. Right as they were at freedom, he looked back and saw her as she faded back to nothing.

There's the basic prompt, feel free to play from there. Whether your character succeeds or not, what their trial is, and who they bring back is up to you.

 THE LOVE CONFESSIONS MEME



Confessions of feelings are rarely as nice and romantic as they seem in the Hollywood flicks. Sometimes, they're screamed across an empty house as someone leaves. Others, they whispered across white pillow cases as bodies lie close together in the dark. Of course, these feelings may not be returned, but it may be the only shot you have.


If you even meant to spill, anyway.

How to Play

- Comment with your character, putting your information and preferences somewhere in the comment.
- Comment to other characters. Roll the RNG to get your prompt, or pick one.
- Play out the scene and take it whatever direction you'd like.
- Be cute and fun or sad and depressing.

Prompts


1. Planned: You've been planning to tell this person how you feel, and you know exactly the way to do it.

2. Spontaneous: Uh-oh, it just slipped out! Maybe you weren't thinking, maybe it was a fight, but somehow, your secret's out.

3. Heat of the Moment: What's better than calling someone's name out in the trows of passion? Why, telling them you love them, of course!

4. The Last Time: You're coming clean with your feelings because you're dying, moving away, leaving the planet, going to war, whatever. Might as well when you'll probably never see them again.

5. Jealousy: You've seen the one you love in the arms of another, and you just have to let your feelings be known so they don't end up with the wrong person! Selfish, what's selfish?

6. Drunk: A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts, so maybe you should be careful what you say, or you'll be telling your best friend you have the hots for her. Awkward.

7. Lie: You don't actually have feelings for this person, but you need them to believe that you do in order to use them, get something, or perhaps to not hurt their feelings.

8. Sweet: You confess...and they feel the same, and have wanted to say it for a while. Oh, how cute! Go on and enjoy your cute little romance.

9. One-sided: One of you confessed, but it's completely unrequited. Can you still be friends, or is that too painful?

10. Forbidden: Your love for this person is totally uncool - not allowed, even. But it has to be brought to light, preferably by you.

11. Unfulfilled: While you both love each other, you decided mutually that this can't go any further.

5. DOCTOR & PATIENT: An apple a day keeps the doctor away, unless you want to play.

 DRIVE ME CRAZY



The chemistry between the two of you is electric. Don't even try to deny it; you've both acknowledged it...that's why you're together, or as together as you can be. Unfortunately, said chemistry tends to spark up during inopportune times just as much as it can during the the proper ones. You're out in public or with friends and, oh my, you want to be with each other so badly. Every little thing they do drives you crazy - are they doing it on purpose - and you want to rip their clothes off!

Well, you've finally gotten to a place where you can do that, ooooor you've decided fuck it all, you're going to be risky and do it in a place where you could get discovered. You don't care; you just want to get your hands on them.

 Mutual Masturbation;
Far be it from there being anything wrong with a little self-love, yet the one-handed tango might be even better if it's turned into a dance for two. Who cares that, technically, this is a contradiction? Be that as it may, whether there's willingness to reach out and touch fate each other or this is a strictly hands-off experience and communication can only be verbal for moral, personal, or technical purposes (hey, there are a lot of folks with powers that mean no touching out there), the two of you are indulging in some mutual masturbation. Over the phone, in person, silently, with lots of dirty talk, go nuts!
This totally doesn't count as sex, right?

You know what to do.

star tear disease au

    "Like hanahaki, the cause of star tears is a situation of unrequited love by the the person you love. When a person cries star tears, a sound accompanies it. If the symptoms are severe or the person has a serious case of the star tear disease, their photoreceptors cease to function and they can go color blind. In rare cases, they might also suffer memory loss. The star tears have color and shine/twinkle when they fall.

    The way to heal from star tear disease is to naturally have your feelings returned and be with the one you love."

HYGGE MEME



Hygge (Danish, noun): a complete absence of anything annoying or emotionally overwhelming; taking pleasure from the presence of gentle, soothing things.



Dark winter evening: it's raining outside and it's cold, you're stocking up on blankets, lighting all the candles you can get your hands on and the tea's already brewing in the kitchen. Fend off the darkest season as the Danes do and have a good time with people you love.

First summer picnic: the sun's shining from a clear, blue sky, the temperatures have finally risen after half a year of depressive icy greys and it's time to go outside, bring a picnic basket and break out the wine and strawberries. Enjoy the sunlight while it lasts in a park somewhere or in the forest, if you're adventurous.

Autumn stroll aftermath: the winds are harsh and the leaves colour everything golden and red. Coming home from a walk that has left your cheeks red and your hands cool, go make some hot chocolate and fix up a bowl of marshmallows, it's time to get cosy.

Springtime playtime: the outdoors are turning a fresh green and the sky is bluer than it's been all winter. Bring sodas and sandwiches and go play in the garden. Some exercise should be healthy for the mind as well as for the body, because a game is the best way to shake off winter and reconnect with friends.

Wildcard: got another way to hygge? Bring it here!


How to play -

1. Post a comment with your character's name, canon, and any preferences you may have (no shipping, no smut, etc.)
2. Others pick one of the prompts and either write a starter themselves or leave you to set the scene.
3. Go around and have a good time.

a smutty goodbye
  • The premise of the meme is simple. Two characters, lovers, will be 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, a mission - or because of a choice one of the characters made? For whatever purpose, you won't see one another for a while...or ever again. You've decided (or thrown away all logic in a fit of passion you can't ignore, the desire for them and to be with them so overwhelming), then, to send them off with a memory that will last.

    In your tiniest of selfish hopes, you pray they'll leave you with the feeling of them beside you, too.
  • 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. Is this an established relationship? Something unspoken brought to light, finally? Have you done this a thousand times or is this your first, brought on by unideal circumstances? More importantly: will this be the last time?
  • Reply to others. Assumed CR is probably key here.

time loop meme.
 


A disaster awaits in the near future, you've seen it happen with your own eyes. It rips to your core and destroys all you hold dear. But you're given a chance-- A loop hole. Almost literally. It could be a wish granted by a cute mascot character who you must never trust. A strange tear in reality that you can enter. Maybe a potion. Maybe a weird alien's blood gets in your mouth and you die. Who knows. But the fact is now you can go back to the start.

Maybe it sounds easy at first. But who knows what caveats this 'blessing' comes with. Never mind whatever trauma you're attempting to correct-- does the jump screw with your memories? Can you even remember why you're repeating the day/month/year/LIFETIME. And if your memory is intact, who's to say anyone will believe or trust what you're saying.

And just maybe.

You'll make things so much worse.

This prompt is obviously inspired by the trope of out of place time travelers trying to alter fate (Edge of Tomorrow and Homura Akemi are some good examples). But your character doesn't need to be attempting to save a specific person. Maybe they're trying to take someone out before they cause a disaster. Maybe they're attempting to save the world? Man, maybe they just REALLY want to repeat time for some trivial reason that's important to them. And who knows if this is their first--Second--Fifteenth--THOUSANDTH loop. That's half the fun. Just roll around in the mud and get messy ig.

I don't care if I have to stay locked in this
endless maze
If it means saving you

LIST your preferred role or maybe a canon point you're looking for specifically. (Or just leave it blank. I'm not ur mom)

 THE MAROONED MEME


When you’re stranded. When there’s no way out.

At least this you’re not alone.


WHERE ARE YOU STRANDED?

1: Island. Surrounded by the ocean, shipwrecked on an island. Far away from any civilization.
2: Planet. Is it an uninhabited wasteland? A teeming forest, crammed with alien life forms? Does it have enough oxygen? Storms? Predators?
3: Moon/Asteroid. Low atmosphere, low gravity. You better hope that you have a survival pod where there’s enough air and heat.
4: Adrift. A ship on the ocean; a power-dead space station; a skimmer floating through the levels of a gas giant.
5: Oasis. Not quite marooned in the same sense, but you’re surrounded by empty desert, too far to cross. You might as well be trapped by the water of the oasis.
6: Cave. Again, not quite in the same sense, but something has left you trapped underground. Did you slide down a chasm? Suffer a cave-in? Either way, you’re down here to stay, for the time being.
7: Other.

WHO’S WITH YOU?

1: A friend. You’re in this together.
2: An enemy. Maybe war brought you both here, and war left you stranded behind. Could be that you’re an enemy in a more mundane sense: school rivals, an assassin and her prey.
3: Strangers. You were both on that boat for vacation, and now you have to survive together.
4: A lover. Some honeymoon, huh?
5: Other. For any other variation.

WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?

1: Food and water.
2: Shelter. There’s a storm coming. The nights are cold, here. Or do you just want a sense of security?
3: Communication. How can you get someone to come rescue you?
4: Predators. Something’s trying to kill you…
5: Escape. If you can just fix the ship…
6: Each other. One more hour and you might kill each other.
7: Injury/Disease. One of you needs medical attention. Hopefully the other can muddle through.
8: Other. Any other problem you can think up!

 The Resort of Flowers
A smut meme


Daily life is complicated enough for normal people. When you're an RP character, your life also contains giant robots and magic powers and dramatic battles and just a whole lot of stress and not a lot of personal time. Isn't it about time to get away from it all for a while? Just take it easy for a week or two at a five star resort hotel on a tropical island? Doesn't that sound nice?

This island features white sand beaches, big waves ideal for surfing, shielded bays ideal for swimming, tropical rain forests ideal for exploring, rejuvenating hot springs, and even a quaint little town full of cute knicknack shops and stylish cafes. The resort itself has rentable speedboats, guided tours, overnight booze-cruises, a five star restaurant, sea-side bungalows to stay in, massage parlors, arcades, and even a sizeable waterpark. Everything you could ask for in this little slice of paradise.

This is no ordinary tropical island, though. It is home to a number of rare flowers renowned for their beauty and also the strange effects their scents have on people. Just a whiff can do all kinds of things to the unsuspecting tourist. The locals are used to it, and don't think poorly of someone acting a little crazy when exposed for the first time. They've all been ther, after all.

Prompts

White: These trumpet shaped blossoms have almost no scent at all, but leave anyone who smells them with a gentle feeling that maybe clothes are just kind of unncessary. More than that, in fact. You actively WANT to show off your body for everyone to see. You're damn sexy, after all. Give them all a treat.

Red: These flowers are vaguely reminiscent of roses and have a sweet, almost cloying scent. Anyone who smells them is filled with a strong affection for the people around them. If they're strangers, you'll want to get to know them and make new friends. If they're already friends, you'll want to deepen your relationship with them, however you want to interpret that ;). If they're someone you already feel romantic feelings for, well, you'll feel an urge to make sure they know that with dramatic displays of love.

Orange: These tiny clusers of flowers smell fainly of fruit, though no one can agree on what kind of fruit. Anyone who smells them is filled with a sense of generosity and opened mindedness. Free love is the name of the game. Why limit yourself to one person when you have so much to give? Threesomes, fourseomes, and moresomes suddenly seem appealing.

Yellow: These vibrant yellow blossoms have an overpowering floral scent that increases the body's sensitivity. Hang out around them too long and even a light breeze will feel sensual. Someone actually touching you will be almost unbearably overwhelming. The petals are often brewed into a tea that is offered before getting a massage.

Green: The flowers are easy to mistake for just clasters of leaves to the naked eye, and have a strangely savory scent, sort of like rosemary. Smelling it plants an urge to have a risky, sexy secret. Use a vibrator under your clothes. Go down on someone under a restaurant table. Have sex behind some bushes in the park. The riskier, the better! It's not like anyone on this island, of all places, is going to judge you too harshly if you get caught!

Blue: These light blue blossoms grow in clusters on drooping vines and smell kind of like vanilla. They make people who smell them feel like letting someone else take charge. Just do whatever your friend says. Let them tie you up, boss you around, anything. If they're happy, you're happy. Often found growing near the violet flowers. The vines they grow on make excellent improvised rope.

Violet: These spiky bushes are dotted with vibrantly purple flowers that have a tangy scent to them. They make people who smell them feel filled with confidence and a need to be in charge. Nothing sounds better right now then making someone do what YOU want to do. They fortunately tend to grow near the blue flowers.

Black: These honestly kind of phallic looking black flowers have an almost spicy scent to them and are the least subtle flowers on the island. Smelling them just gets your motor running and your juices flowing. You feel gradually hornier and hornier until you get down with someone. Self love just won't cut it. Fortunately, anyone else hanging out by the black flowers is likely to feel the same way.

Wildflowers: Those flowers I just listed are the most common kinds, but it's a decently sized island with all KINDS of plant life. Make up a flower with whatever kind of effect you can imagine that I didn't come up with! OR, it's not uncommon for multiple kinds of these flowers to grow in clusters, layering their effects on top of each other. Get creative!

 Happy Ending



If we're honest, fictional characters can be generalized into two camps: 1. good people who have crap happen to them or 2. just crappy people. But bad or good, cheery or grouchy, undeserving or no, we sometimes shamelessly want them to have something nice in life. Or, more accurately, 
someone nice. A certain someone to give them kisses and their favorite foods, to make sure they have a blanket when they fall asleep, and maybe to whisk them away on fun dates/adventures? If they're lucky, this somebody may even give killer back rubs.

But forget your shame, okay? No judgment here. This is just a cute meme for all your gross (shipping) needs, where your character can get all the happiness they deserve...or don't. Whatever!

  • Comment with your character's info, your prefs, all those goodies. You can also include info about what would make your character really happy or if there's a particular role you'd like to play (maybe the one doing the cheering up?).

 pygmalion


With the hands of an artist, you crafted your heartsong, something that...became a someone. Someone out of your dreams. Maybe you were commissioned to create a statue, a doll, a robot, a computer program or AI or clone or any concept almost but not quite life. Then again, paths diverge. You could have created a masterpiece on accident. Right place, right time might come into play; you opened yourself up, thought about your 'perfect match,' and the universe decided to indulge you.

Paths diverge. Yet they meet up again where it counts: you, the creator, fall in love with what you've created. How could you not? They're yours.
In book 10 of Ovid's Metamorphoses, Pygmalion was a Cypriot sculptor who carved a woman out of ivory. According to Ovid, after seeing the Propoetides prostituting themselves, Pygmalion declared that he was "not interested in women", but then found his statue was so beautiful and realistic that he fell in love with it.

In time, Aphrodite's festival day came, and Pygmalion made offerings at the altar of Aphrodite. There, too scared to admit his desire, he quietly wished for a bride who would be "the living likeness of my ivory girl." When he returned home, he kissed his ivory statue, and found that its lips felt warm. He kissed it again, and found that the ivory had lost its hardness. Aphrodite had granted Pygmalion's wish.

1. Previously aloof tough character gets injured, lets the love interest treat their injuries, and reveals a newfound trust and intimacy. This might or might not involve the tough person making that hissing sound when the love interest touches their injured face, but not quite pulling away...

2. The love interest gets injured, and the tough character treats them and suddenly reveals a tender side.
It's an old trope, admittedly, but an understandable one. You're hurt - physically or emotionally - and perhaps even on the brink of death. And then, out of the blue, someone saves you and brings you back. They heal you, they feed you, cloth you, wash you. In the human mind, the intimacies can bring up warm feelings, even in the hardest of hearts. Will you fight them or let them grow? And what about when it's time to leave? You may not feel like leaving your angel...

HOW TO PLAY

1. Comment with your character and preferences. Mention if you'd prefer to play the healer or the healed - or both, for greatest versatility!
2. Reply to others.

Casual Sex Meme

Sex is a dirty, taboo act that needs to be restricted to — No, scratch that.

The place you live now has a sex-friendly, sex-positive culture. Sex is a social activity often used to strengthen bonds and it's no big deal to discuss or indulge openly. It's always been this way — your character has grown up accordingly so there's no excuse for blushy blushy inhibitions. General physical affection that doesn't necessarily end in sex is also very highly encouraged and thought to better one's well being.

So go out there and touch someone. It's for the good of the group.

HOW TO

- Post a top comment, including the usual information in the header. Listing preferences for pairings, prompts, and kinks is also recommended.
- Tag around using the prompts provided or your own ideas!

PROMPTS

  1. ANGER — Fighting with a friend and need to settle yourselves down? Maybe your friend is angry at something/someone else or even themselves! Take them aside and help blow off some steam.
  2. HAPPINESS — You're so happy you could kiss someone. That and more is a perfectly acceptable form of celebration!
  3. SADNESS — Someone's looking down in the dumps, but a little affection goes a long way.
  4. JEALOUSY — They can't have the one they want, but maybe you can take their mind off of them. Or perhaps you're the one being pined after and you feel like throwing them a bone?
  5. REMORSE — You've wronged them, they've wronged you. Now it's time to reconcile your differences and make up. By making out.
  6. FEAR — Whether in the middle of being kidnapped or just watching a scary movie, you'll hold them, comfort them, pet them a little... or a lot.
  7. ANXIETY — There's an upcoming big game/job interview/boss battle/other important event and someone's feeling jittery. Willing to lend a hand to help calm their nerves?
  8. CURIOSITY — Wow! This person really fits your type to a T, whether due to looks or their proclivities that you've discovered through frank discussion. Luckily, it's no big deal to tell them as much.
  9. GRATITUDE — You are bursting with it and ready to lavish it upon this person.
  10. LOYALTY — You've got their back; you'd never do them wrong. It's time to show it and foster some camaraderie.
  11. PLAYFULNESS — Tickle fights, cops and robbers, or distraction tactics for the workaholic in your life. It's all in the name of fun!
  12. BOREDOM — No seriously, you've been in this line forever. It's not like anyone around is going to mind a show, right?
  13. WE DO WHAT WE WANT — The obligatory wildcard option because this list is by no means exhaustive.

The (possibly AU) Sibling Incest Meme



Incest is, despite its taboo nature in most societies, actually a pretty popular convention in both romantic fiction and works of a more erotic bent, in everything from period or fantasy pieces to series taking place in places like modern day Japan. Still, the most common configuration in these fictions are the pairing of siblings. Perhaps this is because of the usual lack of age difference and power dynamic that exists in child/adult relative pairings, though this is not always the case. Because of this, a sexual or romantic relationship between siblings can almost seem, well, romantic in the right light. Of course, more often than not, there's a dark side under the veneer of forbidden love.

This meme is for those who would like to play out that, either the darkness or the light - or both.

HOW TO PLAY
-Comment with your character and preferences. Be sure to mention any hard lines you have.
-Comment around to others. PLEASE NOTE THAT IN ORDER TO FACILITATE CROSS-CANON TAGGING, THIS MEME WILL BE CONSIDERED AN AU FAIR GAME ZONE. Feel free to comment in with characters who do not canonically have siblings or comment to people from other fandoms.
-Be respectful of others.
PROMPTS
1. Feeling Strange: You've known this person your entire life, yet lately you've been feeling...different about them. These feelings aren't exactly familial, either.
2. Not as Normal Families: Whatever the specifics of the case may be, your childhood was not the norm, and thus the two of you have grown close that way.
3. Raised Apart: Scientists believe that when siblings are raised together under normal circumstances, they will not find each other sexually attractive; however, if they are reared apart, they may be highly attracted to each other when they meet as adults.
4. Only Kin by Name: Psuedo-incest between step siblings or adopted siblings is not quite as taboo, but you could still be looked down upon for harboring those desires for someone who is a member of your family by one way or another.
5. Defender: One of you is older and has always looked after the other, meaning that something has grown between you that is thicker than any blood.
6. Guilty: You feel terrible for these longings toward your own flesh and blood, and you do your best to stop them. But can you choose who you want to be with? And how disciplined are you when it's someone you care for in other ways?
7. Dysfunctional: You don't have a good relationship as siblings, yet your relationship as lovers is great.
8. There's Nothing Wrong Here: To you, incest is a casual affair and the "forbidden" aspect is lost. Sorry you were grounded, big brother. Here, since you can't go out, let me be your girlfriend for the night.
9. Like Looking in a Mirror: The two of you are closer than siblings: you're twins. You share everything, so why is your love any different?
10. Skirting the Line: Stolen glances. Lips only a breath away. You're walking a fine line here. You haven't become physical...yet.
11. Got a Secret, Better Keep It: Needless to say, an incestuous relationship is not one that can see the light of day. You'd better keep it behind closed doors.
12. Jealousy: You can't stand the idea of sharing your beloved sibling with someone else, yet it's hard to make this known without blowing your cover.
13. As One: The obligatory smut prompt, whether it be the first time or one of many the two of you steal away.
14. The Things I Do for Love: You'll do anything to protect your love affair with you sibling and make sure no one interferes. Anything.
15. And You'll Be My Queen: It may seem as though the light will never come, but you want to make promises to your most precious sibling that one day, you'll live as any normal couple.
16. Anyone Who Isn't Us is the Enemy: You're in a dangerous climate, and the only one you can depend on is your flesh and blood - bringing you closer together.
17. No Choice in the Matter: Your sibling is not a willing participant in your debauchery, but they endure your cruelty, grooming, and manipulation because you are their brother or sister.
18. No One Like You: There truly is no one who can love you like the person who is closest to being you, bone of your bone. You perfectly understand each other and your love is pure.
19. Where No One Knows Our Faces: You've decided to flee your current life and live as new people among those who don't know that you're related.
20. Out in the Light: A secret no more, the two of you have decided to bring your affair out into the open. You will face the world, no matter what it does.
21. Rejection: Someone - friends, family, etc - has found out what you two have done and are disgusted by it. Will you turn to each other for comfort?
22. The End: Being with someone so unattainable is tiring, and one day, you may grow weary of stowing everything away, locking your heart up, or feeling so shamed. This must cease. But can you go back to being just siblings?
23. Not Really Related After All: Perhaps the most cliche of tropes, though it's often used to "justify" incest. Turns out the two of you aren't really siblings! Now, you can pursue a relationship freely.
24. Part of the Same Whole: You're meant to be together, you firmly believe it.
25. Sick and Twisted: The fact that you two are siblings actually is a kink/fetish for you. You get off to all of this.
26. FREESTYLE

The Dragon's Bride

Flames, then ash. Your village will be left with little else should the dragon that plagues the countryside not get his demanded sacrifice...if you're lucky. Your good fortune turns south, the bones of your neighbors (or whatever else remains of them) litter a new charred graveyard that was once a town. So, the necessary offers must be made.

At least that's the hope. The alternative would be too awful to contemplate.

In a last-ditch effort to save those you love — or against your will, as these things tend to go with forcibly created martyrs — you have been hoisted onto the pyre, waiting for the dragon to fly off with you. What terrors race through your mind as your doom impends?

How you'll end up in a beast's belly, no doubt. Except, you must consider this: there are worst fates than being a dragon's next meal. A monster that covets you as its treasure...a new type of danger unfurls its wings. You've become a dragon's bride.

But could such an infernal creature ever learn to know honest, unselfish affection? Is it possible to be more than a "spouse?" A mere treasure?

Perhaps, you could learn to be a dragon's love.

HOW TO PLAY

✗ Comment with your character, roles ("dragon" or "bride") prefs, etc.
✗ Y'all know how this goes. Approach "dragon" as a stand-in. The monster mash could be elves, orcs, goblins, werewolves, demons, dwarves, fey, purple people eaters, what have you. Of course, actual dragon and shifters folks are welcome, too! And don't think that you have to make your boring human a boring ol' human. Consider this the monster/supernatural being/cryptid/creature AU of your dreams!
✗ Second verse, same as the first, "bride" registers as gender-neutral 'round these parts. That word choice just sounds a touch more poetic.
✗ Reply to others.

In the great green room, there is a telephone and a red balloon, and a picture of
The cow jumping over the moon,
And there were three little bears sitting on chairs,
And two little kittens and a pair of mittens,
And a little toyhouse and a toy mouse,
And a comb and a brush and bowl full of mush,
And a quiet old lady who was whispering "hush".


WHAT TO DO:

1. Post with your character--name, fandom and any particular preferences go in the subject line as usual.

2. You can either roll or pick a scenario (or scenarios!) from the list or leave your comment blank.

3. Reply to people!

4. Have fun and be mindful of your partner's preferences--while this is not inherently a smut meme, it could definitely turn that way.

OPTIONS:

1. Washing up for Bed: You and your partner have had a long day, and now it's time to wash it all off. Don't forget to scrub behind your ears!

2. Bedtime Story: Some people just can't get to sleep without some sort of story. It can be a familiar book, or even a story of your partner's life.

3. Warm Milk and Cookies (or Chamomile Tea): A warm drink and a few cookies in the belly are just what some people need to relax before bed.

4. Pajamas: What (if anything) you wear to bed says a lot about your personality. Dressed to impress or totally relaxed?

5. Lullaby: Philomel with melody or rock-a-bye baby? Either way, you're looking to lull your partner into a restful sleep with the sound of your voice.

6. Goodnight Kiss: Nothing says 'sweet dreams' like a chaste (...or not so chaste...) kiss at bedtime.

7. Comfort Object: Whether it's a nightlight, a teddy bear or an old blankie, bedtime's not happening unless the comfort object is in the room.

8. Cuddles Forever: The ultimate in fluffy warm coziness before falling asleep.

9. Reluctant Sleeper: Your blankets are itchy. The room's too hot. You want another story. Whatever the reason, you're not ready to settle in and go to bed.

10. Wildcard!: know I forgot something, so here's your wildcard for whatever else you can fit into this meme, and any mix-and-matching you want to do

 the CHASTE ROMANCE meme



Love must have a certain passion behind it, to be sure, but not all passions are the same. The two of you love each other, and certainly romantically - or at least you're working on realizing that - and you're...not sexually intimate, or not in the way many would suspect. You're not ready for that yet, you're following the rules of your society, you want them to know how serious you are, you're too busy or uninterested, you don't want to "dishonor" them in any way, or that's simply how both of you are comfortable: there are a number of reasons why you'd choose a romance of chastity, and none of them make the feelings between you any less valid.


Of course, no sexual intimacy doesn't mean no intimacy at all. Holding hands, resting of heads on shoulders, touching, kissing on other places than the mouth, spending time together, confessions, or giving gifts can show your emotions towards each other just as easily. You may only want to do these things away from the prying eyes of others, however. And, understandably, you might want to take those milestones slowly and carefully, the same way your relationship has blossomed.

...especially for confessions. For the type of love you two share, you don't want to admit to anything too idly.

How to Play

  • I wanted to make a meme like this because I thought the idea was darling and fresh, and it could apply to so many types of characters! It's the bread and butter for fantasy types, would be good for kids and the younger character sets, and despite how "badass" they are, it's pretty much shounen idiots to a T. There's very little romance proper in those canons, and it's all understated and unspoken if it's there at all. For a better write-up about all this, check out the TVTropes page!
  • tl;dr, comment with your character, preference, and any info you'd like to include.
  • Reply to others.
  • Go at it and be adorable! I gave some potential prompts up there but you can make up what you'd like.

 The Floriography Meme





Flowers, in the Victorian Era (1837-1901), were often used as means of communication when people could not openly say things that we do these days. Think about someone who is naturally repressed; now imagine a whole society focusing on being repressed. You can see why lovers needed some sort of secret code. Poor things.

No longer used much, there are some remaining, well-known meanings—roses inspiring passion and love are a classic example. So, grab a bouquet and give it to someone special. Beware of what certain flowers could say, though. Not all flowers were used happily.

note: some prompts might cause triggers; be aware and specify in your comments


oo1. comment with your characters
make sure to put names, series, & preferences somewhere!
oo2. reply to others in character
oo3. go to RNG and roll 1-20
oo4. play out what happens! anything goes!
oo5. profit? profit!
oo6. originally from here

p r o m p t s


oo1. begonia ❀ beware
A hidden message is always appreciated. You need to keep an eye out, because your best friend might be banging your girl, or your girl is trying to off you!

oo2. chrysanthemum ❀ you’re a wonderful friend
Commonly used for funerals, this flower can also be used to send a gentle message. Someone is interested in you, but you only see them as a friend. Sorry.

oo3. clover ❀ promise
Promises, promises. Sometimes you mean them, sometimes you break them. You've promised your lover something. But does it work out?

oo4. daffodil ❀ unrequited love
There is an old tale of how a youth fell in love with his reflection and drowned. This is the ultimate rejection: no sparing of feelings, no kind words. Crush their souls.

oo5. forget-me-not ❀ memories, don’t forget me
This well-known flower is often given to loved ones as parting gifts. Who knows how long you’ll be gone? Maybe for only a day, or forever and a lifetime.

oo6. hazel ❀ reconciliation
You and a former love have parted ways for one reason or another. Time has cooled your head, but not your heart, so maybe it’s time to rekindle that fire.

oo7. hyacinth ❀ sorrow, forgive me
Love isn't always a happy thing. What are you going to do about it? Hopefully not mope with ice cream.

oo8. marigold ❀ cruelty
Love doesn’t mean a thing to you. The people around you are all puppets, and you love playing with them in the meanest way possible.

Pure and simple: give someone a kiss! Your lover, your little sister, a stranger from across the room, or go wild and give the whole town some love!

Oh yes, you’re doing it: you're getting married! Bring your rice and gifts, a priest is waiting to unite two people in love.

It is never good to be oblivious, and it’s awful to not see that someone is in love with you. But sadly, you are. Or is the other person the clueless one?

o13. primrose ❀ can’t live without you
You need them. More than lust or financial stability, you cannot imagine a world where you are not with this other person. Who said anything about a healthy relationship?

You never broke up with them, you never forgot about them. This is true love separated—they’re dead and gone. But have you moved on?

Nothing is better than expressing a love not expressed before! So go on, confess those beautiful feelings!

o16. rose (white) ❀ secrecy and silence
Sometimes you have to keep secrets. Sometimes that secret is someone else. So, enjoy a midnight rendezvous or run away for a passionate day somewhere.

o17. rose (yellow) ❀ infidelity
You couldn’t help it, this other person was just too… something to resist. That’s right! You’re cheating on your public lover today, but do you care or not?

o18. saffron ❀ abuse
Not all love is happy. Sometimes the problems are worse than money or cheating. It’s not limited to physical abuse either: there’s emotional, verbal, psychological…

o19. sweet pea ❀ good-bye
Love can really suck sometimes.Your special someone obviously doesn’t feel the same anymore.

o20. violets ❀ let’s take a chance

1.) Teleporter Mishap
Teleporters are supposed to be safe, but sometimes incidents happen. Whether you step through one and come out a different species, different gender or with different appendages. You need not worry, though. It's only temporary.

2.) Planet of Sex
No one is why about sex or nudity on this planet. Feel free to walk around naked or have sex while dining in a cafe. No one will bat an eyelash at you.

3.) Casino Planet
This entire Planet is a casino. Gamble, drink, bet things well without your means. Come up with interesting things for someone to do if they can’t honor a bet.

4.) Amusement Park Planet
This entire planet is an amusement park. It would take nearly a lifetime to try all the games and rides. A lot of the more ‘adult’ themed attractions are on the southern side of the planet.

5.) Spa Planet
There are some planets made up entirely of beaches, some made up entirely of Spas and Hot Springs. These are luxury planets that no one would hate to spend a prolonged time on.

6.) Crew Sex
Fraternizing between crewmates probably shouldn’t happen. But you know, sometimes you get bored and horny in space.

7.) Interspecies
There are many different lifeforms out there that are capable of high levels of intelligence. Some of them might look humanoid and some might now. You might encounter a bear that is as eloquent as a poet or someone that looks like the cross because a human or a cat. All things are possible.

8.) From A Galaxy Far, Far Away
There are people in the universe that are born with innate abilities where they can control them or not. They can move things with their minds, bend people to their will, produce aphrodisiac pheromones at will, cause an orgasm with a single touch. Their powers are numerous. Maybe you are one, maybe you are encountering one or maybe you are training or being trained by one.

9.) Space Bar
You will never find a more pleasant hive of gratification and debauchery. Many lifeforms come through here, many lifeforms frequent here quite often. Have some drinks, kick up your feet, get laid. Whatever you like. There even may or may not be a brothel in the back.

10.) Galaxy Celebrity
You’re a celebrity in this galaxy. You could be a famous singer, royalty, some legendary figure. Men, women, all lifeforms might admire you or want to be with you. Perhaps you are trying to keep a low profile or flaunting who you are, regardless you will certainly get up to some fun.

11.) Space Academy

13.) Sexual Greeting
There are countless civilizations throughout the universe. Some have a very..different means of greeting someone.

14.) Bodyguard
Someone needs protecting and its your job to do it.Though sometimes it’s possible to get a little too close to the one that you are protecting.

15.) Mystery Alien Food
You paid a visit to some exotic food shop or someone gave you something they found in their travels. You’ve never seen this food before, so who knows what sort of effects it might have on you. It could make you grow a tail or develop powers that you never had before. Be adventurous and take a bite.

16.) Repair Service
Ship not working? Food Replicator on the fritz? Need something installed? Call the Repair Service! Even if you can’t pay, you could probably think of some other way to compensate them for their time.

17.) Sexting/Video Comm
Even in space, sometimes distance is a factor. This distance can be pretty great when you have spaceships that can travel at baffling speeds. Good thing texting and video chats still work. You can use that to have some quality time with your lover or with your fling. There is also an upgrade for this tech to create a physical digital avatar (or avatars) of yourself that transfer sensations to you for extra fun.

18.) Interstellar Cruise-Liner
Hop aboard an interstellar cruise-liner. With this cruise-liner you can fly across space with other passengers in what amounts to a 24 hour party.

19.) Spores
Did you happen upon an exotic flower in the wild or while in the flower shop? However you come across it, it sprays you with spores that feels you with an intense sexual desire. Whether it's just to engage in the activity or to procreate depends on the severity of the spray.

20.) Obedience Collar
Whether the wearer voluntarily put it on or not, they are wearing an obedience collar. Its possibly something subtle or maybe it stands out completely. No matter how it looks, the effect is the same. The wearer will do whatever the one who put it on them says.

21.) Mental Manipulation
Maybe you gave up your memories by choice or maybe someone forced new ones on you. You could be aware they aren’t yours, but there isn’t much you can do about it. Your personality, likes and dislikes, desires. You’ve been changed by the person that did this to you into whatever they see fit.

XXX.) Wild Card
You know how this goes. Come up with something of your own!

 THE "I'M TRAPPED IN A SEX GAME" MEME



You've arrived in a strange land. It could be an exotic tropical island, a high-tech city, or even a colony on the moon. Only one thing is sure: everything about this place is geared towards sex.

Sex is *everywhere*. The food, the water, and even the air you breathe all have a high chance of being laced with aphro. Everywhere you turn there's a sex shop or a strip club, and you can't even count the number of times you've seen public displays of indecency. Things that might be considered scandalous in your home world - like having multiple partners or experimenting with kink - seem not only normal, but encouraged. And even if there's no law stating you *have* to have sex, it's still heavily incentivized through the use of financial rewards, re-education, and status effects meant to chip away at your inhibitions.

In other words? You're trapped in a sex game.

RULES:

SETTINGS:

Amat Omnes - A tropical island setting where new arrivals wear collars that can't be taken off. The collar grows tighter and tighter the longer you go without sex - your choice whether you want to fuck or suffocate.

City of Ariel - In this city of corruption, new arrivals are microchipped so that a steady stream of pornography flows through their brain 24/7. Resistance is futile: if you refuse to take your clothes off, you'll be forcibly "re-educated" on the values of casual sex.

Duplicity - In this high-tech city, new residents are assigned a "dom" or a "sub" role. Which one are you?

Eudio - You weren't kidnapped - you actually chose to go to this place yourself. The city of Eudio is fueled by physical intimacy, and that includes cuddles as well as sex. Your consent is actually important here, and you don't have to do anything you aren't ready to do.

Lagunbiru - You're trapped on a luxurious space station, and the only way home is to black out your kink bingo board. Better get started.

Tanagura - You've arrived on a planet where people are divided into castes based on their hair color: light-haired Elites live like kings in the capital called Tanagura, while dark-haired Mongrels scrape and struggle in the city of Midas.

Yoshiwara Nights - You've been dropped into Yoshiwara, a Japanese city with a huge red-light district that runs on sex and spectacle. Love hotels and brothels line the streets, while organized crime syndicates pull the strings behind the scenes.

Zodion - You've been brought to this planet to help the Twelve gods regain their power and save the world - and the only way to do that is through sex (or "worship", as it's called here).

Wildcard - Don't want to use an existing sex game as a setting? Feel free to make up your own sex game jamjar.

PROMPTS:

1. Welcome Party - Your generous hosts have decided to throw a party so that all the new arrivals can get to know each other. Just be careful what you eat or drink, since everything's laced with aphro.

2. Desperation - You've gone too long without sex, and now your collar's too tight, you're about to be "re-educated", or you're worried you'll never get home. You need to find a partner, *fast.*

3. Day on the Job - You needed a job to pay rent. Did you end up doing some kind of sex work, or did you find something that's not related to sex at all?

4. Kink Bingo - Is there a square you've been procrastinating on, or are you almost done with your bingo board?

5. Domination and Submission - How's your new life as a Dominant or Submissive going?

6. Workshop - Maybe you wanted to learn more about a certain kink - or maybe you're still stuck on the basics. Luckily, there are workshops to help with that.

7. Virus - There's a fever spreading throughout the city. Maybe it makes you violent and aggressive, maybe it makes you hopelessly lovesick, or maybe it makes you desperately lustful. One thing's for sure, though - the effects are *strong.*

8. Ritual - Sex takes on a ritualistic bent as everyone joins hands (and other body parts) to fuel the gods and goddesses who rule over the jamjar.

9. Orgy - The air is thick with aphro and everyone's fucking in the streets. Why not grab a warm body and join in?

10. Shopping Spree - You've got cash and there's no shortage of sex shops around. Why not buy yourself something nice?

11. Seen It All Before - You've been here a long time, and nothing fazes you anymore. One of the new arrivals looks cute - maybe you can show them the ropes.

12. Just Cuddles - Just because you're expected to have sex doesn't mean you're ready to jump into bed with someone yet. Why not test the waters with some nonsexual intimacy?

13. Shipping Option - Casual hook-ups are the norm here, but you've become attached to one of your partners. Do you confess your feelings? Take them out on a date?

14. Wildcard - For any ideas you have that weren't already mentioned.

In Love with the Gangster's Girl

From the moment you first set eyes on them, you've been drawn - but this is no meet-cute. They are completely unavailable to you: they're sworn to a duty, already spoken for (by someone powerful or evil, no doubt), precious cargo, a caged bird kept away from prying eyes, a possession of a wicked creature. Whatever the case, they are off-limits. The problem is...they are struck by you, too.

Will you fight your feelings, or will you free them so they can be with you? Either way, there's a high probability of it all going up in flames.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character, preferences, role, and any other information to make you more taggable.
  • Reply to others.
  • RNG if desired.
  • This meme is slightly inspired by this trope, but the setting can be anywhere and the genre anything.
WHO

  1. Caged: You're the victim here, kept locked away.
  2. Taken: You're in a relationship - consensual or otherwise - so you should only have eyes for one. That's not exactly the case...
  3. Passerby: Here you are, minding your own business, when - who's that? Why are they there?
  4. Rescuer: Whether you're a knight in shining armor type or someone simply paid or commanded to do this job, you never thought you'd fall for the one you had to rescue.
  5. Conflict of Interest: You're a guard, but you can't very well do your duty if you want the person you're guarding let go.
  6. Unknowing Villain: You had no idea your allies were keeping someone and you don't agree with their methods.
  7. Enemies: They did wrong by you in the past; even they don't deserve this, though.
  8. Should Be Reviled: Your people and theirs have never gotten along. You should hate them, yet you don't. You want to save them.
  9. Who's the Monster?: They're being locked away because they're a monster. No one could be further from a beast in your eyes, however.
  10. Never Felt Before: Usually, you're stone cold, but their plight has gotten under your skin.
  11. In this Together: Both of you are prisoners, so you can't easily save them, can you?
  12. Not All Bad: They're been told that they're being protected. You want to show them the outside world isn't so bad.
  13. The Better Devil: To be honest, you're not much better than their captor. Still, you're something new.
HOW

  1. Plot and Plan: You know busting them out won't be easy, so you'll put your mind to it.
  2. Sneak: It's an old-fashion escape with all the subtleties and espionage to get out undetected.
  3. Fight Anyone: Maybe you're more brawn than brains, or maybe you're just in a tight spot.
  4. Bargain: Their freedom for yours. Seems like a fair trade.
  5. Guilt: You can't really free them, can you? This fact tears you up inside.
  6. Give You Hope: You might not be able to get them out of here now, but you'll keep them looking towards the future.
  7. Keep You Happy: You'd do anything to see them smile again.
  8. Be Healthy: They're being mistreated or ill-fed. You can at least try to remedy that.
  9. Saved Themselves: They only needed an extra push. At the end, they pulled themself out of the pit.
  10. Selfish: No denying it, you freed them for selfish reasons.
  11. Selfless: What you want doesn't matter. Their safety and peace are paramount.
  12. Sacrifice: If need be, you'll put your life on the line.
  13. Used You: They didn't really love you. But they did know you'd be useful.
  14. Failure: Your attempt failed and now both of you are looking death in the eyes.
  15. I'll Steal You: They didn't want to leave their "home." You stole them away.
  16. Indebted Friends: So they weren't romantically attracted to you. They, however, did platonically bond with you.
  17. Finally "Together": You've wanted to touch them, hold them, kiss them, and be with them in every way possible, even if it's only for a moment. The smut option.
  18. Happy Endings: You're both safe, far from danger, and together.

  Nudity-Induced Tension Meme



There are a number of you could be naked in front of someone. There are decidedly fewer reasons you could be naked in front of someone you're attracted to. But you're not nude for 
that reason. Today, your clothes are at least off somewhat, and the cause will vary: you're posing, you're getting first aide, you're being fitted for a giant robotic suit, this is all for science or as a favor. You know, the usual. There's also a possibility that certain person just walked in on you.

Still, how awkward will things be with tension in the air - and how long will the atmosphere remain platonic, if the other person has a desire to explore your body?

  • Comment with your character, preferences, etc.
  • Smut or no smut, that's fine, just say it.
  • Reply to others.
  • Embrace the nude.

"WE'RE HAVING A BABY" meme

Nature is no respecter of persons, my friends. Whether it be childhood friends, newlyweds, or one-night stands, a single decision or accident can change everything, and there will be three people instead of just two.

Congratulations! The characters in these threads and those who reply to them are now expecting babies, no matter what their unique situation may be. Of course, depending on the characters, this might go over like a lead balloon. But wait! Even if the decision to have a baby was made and was consensual, the process is no walk in the park. There is lots to do...and only nine months to do it. Nine potentially drama-filled months.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character, preferences, etc.
  • Not all options here are fluffy and happy. Some are potentially angsty or possibly triggering. Tread lightly. Be sure to mention what you want and what you don't want.
  • Reply to others.

PROMPTS

  1. How'd It Happen: What led up to this event? How are you in this situation?
  2. Realization: There's a wrench in the works...or maybe it was expected, but you're just realizing you're pregnant.
  3. Positive Reaction: Yes, after all this time and planning! You're finally ready for a family.
  4. Negative Reaction: Oh, no. This is terrible. You're in no position to take care of a child!
  5. Freak Outs: But...how? You're a human, she's an alien, how -
  6. Deciding What to Do: If this wasn't planned, there needs to be a plan of action now.
  7. Keep it Secret: You're attempting to keep your pregnancy a secret from your partner. This is only a bandaid for the bigger problem.
  8. Telling Others: The other people in you two's life have to know at some point.
  9. Drama: No one wanted you to have a kid and the anger is palpable.
  10. Morning Sickness and More: Everything hurts and the mornings are hell.
  11. Learning: If you're in a technologically advanced society, you may get to see an ultrasound. Otherwise, there are folk remedies that can be tried.
  12. Manipulation: One of you is using the prospect of a child to bend the other to their will and make them stay.
  13. My Body is a Cage: The person carrying the baby is having a decent amount of discomfort, mentally and physically.
  14. Showing: It's a secret no longer with an expanding stomach.
  15. Support: The partner who isn't carrying the child should do their best to be there and help out...
  16. Overprotective: ...but to a degree. Don't act like the partner carrying the child is made of paper.
  17. Getting Ready: The house or apartment or castle has to be babyproof.
  18. Heart to Heart: It's time to talk about the big changes before the happen. Where do the two of you stand?
  19. It's Happening: THE BABY IS COMING.
  20. Rough Going: Childbirth is still a dangerous affair and there's no smooth sailing for you. So pace if you're lucky, scream in the bed if you're not.
  21. Bad End: Not all new beginnings last. Sometimes, they become unhappy endings.
  22. Coming Home: Finally, parents and baby get to settle down.
  23. Getting Used to This: Well, maybe settle down. There's still crying in the night, feedings to do, diapers to change...

 The Romanticized Stockholm Syndrome Meme



Warning: Potentially triggering subject matter.

Whether you're trying to save them from the world, from themselves, or you're trying to save the world from them, either way, it looks like they're going to be a little tied up for the foreseeable future. Whether or not they see it that way, though...

1. Post with your character name and fandom in the subject line.
2. Include whether you would prefer to be the captor or the victim.
3. Intentional or no, as the thread progresses, victims will find themselves falling in love with their captor. Whether or not the feeling is mutual is entirely up to the muns.

As always, use sensitivity and respect the preferences of others.

The Cuddle Meme

HOW IT WORKS:

❧ Post a blank comment with your character's name, canon, and any preferences.
❧ Use RNG to choose your cuddle scenario (or choose your own).
❧ Cuddle!

CUDDLE SCENARIOS:
 
① Sweet dreams
It's been a long day and all you want to do is sleep or just rest your eyes for a bit. Hopefully whoever is close by doesn't mind if you use them as a blanket.

② Stormy weather 
The heavy rain, thunder and lightning won't be letting up anytime soon. Luckily, it's the perfect weather to stay indoors and snuggle up close and keep warm.

③ Lazy dancer 
It's the end of a party, or maybe it's only the two of you, but the tempo is slow and the lights are low. Let your dance partner take the weight and just sway.

④ Surprise attack
Time to invade someone's personal space. Are they working too much and need a distraction? Maybe you just wanted to brighten their day. Either way, they won't see it coming.

⑤ Movie night
It can be on the sofa or in a darkened theater, but you've got your popcorn and someone to settle against during your favorite movie.

⑥ I love you, man
It's totally platonic, really. You're just very good friends, no matter what people like to think. But you just love your friend so much you want to hug them, whether they like it or not.

⑦ Jeepers creepers
Welp. You were just frightened. Was it a spider in the washroom, a ghost in the attic, a bad dream? Either way, you're looking for someone to cling to right now, and who better than that person right there?

⑧ Hurt and comfort
Whether you're sick in bed, just been dumped or suffered a traumatic event, you need someone to wrap their arms around you and make everything go away.

⑨ Sunday morning
Maybe you just had a wild night. Maybe there’s just not enough space at your place and you need to share your bed. Or maybe you just got really tired and someone else happened to be there. Doesn't matter because now the person with you looks way more comfortable than any blanket or pillow. Drape to your heart’s content.

⑩ Moment after
You just had incredible, vigorous sex (playing out is totally optional) and if you weren't a cuddler before, you are now. You're probably too exhausted to do anything else anyway. Just enjoy the moment.

⑪ Ménage à trois
Or four, or five. Get a group and cuddle away.

⑫ Player's choice 
Pick one or make up your own!

 your princess



It's fairly simple, really, no royalty required. One of you is the "princess:" sweet, gentle, possibly energetic, always full of life and innocence. The other is the "knight:" stoic, or at least serious about protecting that one special person, dedicated, strong, a fighter. And the two of you are in love, even if one...less expressive than the other. Together romantically or not, there's 
something that connects you, most likely a driving need to protect.

But don't let the normal conventions full you, the "princess" (or "prince," as it may be, because the terms here are gender neutral) is just as important. Someone has look to the emotional well-being and happiness of the "knight," and often, those "knights" need a lot of help.

Calming Presence
You're about to go off the rails. No, no "about," actually. You've left that train track fair behind, and you're crazy. Rage fills every inch of you, and there's no doubt you're about to do something dangerous, stupid, or reckless. Or all three. There's only one person who can calm you down: your partner.

Now, they're using closeness, reassurance, or physical intimacy to remind you what really matters, which is the two of you. Surely, this will bring you back, letting the anger ebb out and you'll be able to think straight again, even if your lover was the actual cause of all this mess.

Won't it? Surely you won't direct your wrath towards them, no matter what.
