The Highly Inappropriate Tension Meme

Touches. Glances. Sides brushing, so close to each other. The moment is, most likely, quiet, subdued, and calm. Or it could be loud and full of life, right in the middle of a vivacious party. Yet, no matter the case, your blood is pumping - no, nearly boiling with the passion bubbling between you and your companion.

Unfortunately, this tension is completely and absolutely out of line. Whether it be the place, the time, your relationship with the person (be that literal relation or power difference, age difference, experience difference, and so on), your own lack of knowledge, or personal convictions, you should not act on any building desires.

But here's the thing about tension: it builds. It builds, and it builds, until...

Well, even subtlety can come to an inappropriate head.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character, canon, and preferences in the subject. In the comment body, be sure to mention if there are any squicks you have, scenarios you don't/do want to play out, and if you're okay with AUs or handwaved CR.

someone else's life
Establishing a good relationship can be hard. There's all that meeting, dating, falling in love - who needs it? It would be so much easier if you could just be in a relationship like that, fingers snapped, no questions asked. All the good companionship, none of the bad stress.

At least, in theory, that would be nice. But in practice? Well, you'll have to see for yourself.

You wake up, dazed and confused, maybe in a new place, maybe in a new world. Even if you're in your old faithful home, there's a new addition: someone who's living with you or visiting you, claiming to be involved with you. More than that, they're you're lover. Or so they claim! They don't seem to be lying. They're adamant that they have memories with you - perhaps even intimate memories - and don't know why you're acting so strangely.

Now that you think about it, you have those memories too, and you begin to believe. Of course, you're together. It makes sense. In some part of your mind, however, you just can't shake the feeling that this life isn't exactly what it seems.

Despite that niggling whisper, the two of you are happy together, happier than you've ever been, and a genuine love grows. All that paranoia from before echoes only as a mental lapse or a mistake in judgement.

You weren't wrong at first. On the contrary, your gut instinct was right. Secrets can't stay that way, no matter how you feel, and how both of you were put together will eventually be revealed. How much between you is organic and how much manufactured? Can you stay with someone when you know you've both been caught in a lie?

  • Comment with your character, preferences, and a little info about your character.
  • Those replying to your character will be the one your character is in a relationship. In other words, your character will be the ones coming to the confused party and wondering why they don't remember the two of them being together. A bit of a switch up, so take note!
  • Play the initial complications, the getting-to-know-each-other-even-though-we-know-each-other-already, or the big reveal!
  • Respond to others.

We've see it everywhere. Rings inside pokeballs, in cakes, in drinks, during baseball games and more. This meme pinpoints on some of the more interesting (and really adorable!) ways to tell someone you want to spend the rest of your life with them!

Rules:

✰ Comment with your character.
✰ Someone responds, picking a number from 1 to 8 (or using the Random Number Generator), and plays out the specific proposal situation. (Note that the second person should be the one proposing, but it doesn't matter!)
✰ Thread!
✰ ???
✰ PROFIT.


Scenarios:

1. Down on One Knee
Traditionally. Either in public or privately, one of you has taken the daring risk of becoming completely vulnerable in the midst of the other. You've got the perfect ring tucked into your coat jacket, and now all that's left is to see how the other reacts.

2. Cake
After a long, very expensive dinner, all that's left is dessert. In one bite in particular, you feel a hard... something hit your teeth. Upon investigating this strange object, you find a beautiful ring covered in cake in your hand. Look up, and you'll find your significant other looking at you with those adorable goo goo eyes you just love.

3. Fortune Cookie
It's your average night at the local Chinese restaurant, nothing too special. And of course, every American knows that a good Chinese meal is never over until you eat the fortune cookie. But on this night, you crack open your cookie, surprised to find there's a lovely little ring looking back at you. The slip of paper that goes with all fortune cookies reads a simple: "Will you marry me?"(in bed???)

4. During the Game
In the midst of the tired players taking their much-earned break at half time, and the seemingly hundreds of birthday wishes flying past on the large screen, one message, in particular, will stand out to you. " ____ will you marry me?" And when you turn to your lover, heart thumping loudly, you'll see a huge ring presented before you.

5. In a Book
Just a quiet night together, playing some games, reading a few books. Upon locating a particular book, you crack it open, only to find that the pages have been hollowed out, leaving only a beautiful ring and a delicate note saying "Will you marry me?" in its place.

6. During the Movies
A.k.a MysteryGuitarMan on Youtube's most adorable proposal. You've prepared a little scene at the beginning of the movies, and had the people in charge play in between movie previews. The lights go up, buddy, and now it's your time to shine!

7.One Balloon
Better known as "the most adorable scene in Super Junior's No One music video." You've got tons of balloons, and together you and your honey let them go fly into the sky. But why didn't you let the last one go? I'll say that ring attached to the end has something to do with it!

8. Anything!
There is no doubt in my mind that I have missed out on some really cute proposals, so make your own up!

Your Love is A Death Sentence


You've been with someone before, and it didn't work out. Several times it's failed, actually. But it's not them, it's you. You're cursed - not just with bad luck, either. You destroy everything you touch. Everyone you've ever cared for has been badly injured or even killed, all because of you. No more. You have to keep people at arm's length, the further, the better.

Yet now, someone has slipped past your defenses, and you find yourself falling again. You can't. You know you shouldn't. Their life is in danger just by being around you, much less being such an integral part of you. So you'll turn them away, won't you? Even drive them away, if you must. If things have already gotten to far, you know how to end it...

...don't you? Maybe you don't want to end it. Maybe you're willing to take the risk one more time. Maybe you can live with yourself if they fall prey to the death that surrounds you, as long as you aren't alone.

  ʏᴏᴜɴɢ ʟᴏᴠᴇ




There's nothing quite like your first crush developed during those formative teenage years...except, of course, when you start a tentative, testing relationship based on those feelings. Or, equally as exhilarating, dancing around the subject and ignoring all that adolescent angst and tension!


You're in for some fun, so whether you're in the right age demographic, you never really got to fit and now you've found yourself fitting the bill, or you've been thrown back into the past, make a teenage dream come true!

RULES
 Comment with your character, info, and all the good stuff. If your character's a teen, you're golden. If you need to AU it, go ahead. Age down - either completely, including mental age/canonpoint, or Seventeen Again style.
 Reply to others.
 Be adorable.
PROMPTS
 CRUSH: They're so purty UGH GIRLS ARE WEIRD. This can be requited or not.
 RELATIONSHIP: It's time to sneak out and hold hands after somebody threw rocks at a window, probably.
 AVOIDING THAT TENSION: On occasion, teenagers cna and will dodge a subject or act as childish as they really are, too. Pull those pigtails!

 little red riding hood;



✦ Snowlight, moonlight, a confusion of paw-prints.

All silent, all still.

Midnight; and the clock strikes. It is Christmas Day, the werewolves' birthday, the door of the solstice stands wide open; let them all sink through.

See! sweet and sound she sleeps in granny's bed, between the paws of the tender wolf.
 ✧


Should you really be in a place like this? You're a good kid, and this the deep, dangerous woods - literally or metaphorically. Here, there be dragons; more accurately, here their be wolves, of the big and bad variety, hungry to the core. And they're waiting for pretty young things, especially those in red hoods, because they want to gobble you up. But not with teeth and with claws (not usually), for they can lure you to your destruction in delectable, devious, wicked ways.

You way want that, though. That may be why you're here in the first place. You're not so pure, are you? Then again...you may be the wolf yourself. What you're after is the hunt, the prey you know you can swallow whole.

✧ What big eyes you have
The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad
So just to see that you don't get chased
I think I ought to walk with you for a ways

What full lips you have
They're sure to lure someone bad
So until you get to grandma's place
I think you ought to walk with me and be safe
 ✦


✧ HOW TO PLAY
✦ Pretty obviously, this meme is based off of the fairytale of Little Red Riding Hood, which has commonly been interpreted to be about sexual awakening and seduction. It's also inspired by the short story "In the Company of Wolves" by Angela Carter, which is worth a read.
✦ Feel free to play this scenario as completely straight (ie characters with wolf ears, werewolves, literal fairytale settings) or as allegorical (a young, inexperienced character going into a bar full of bikers, etc).
✦ Similarly, bring along any kinks you'd enjoy. Underage/lolita, non-con, dub-con, fully consensual, knotting, animal mating drives, the list goes on and on. You can do pretty much anything.
✦ Reply with your character, preferences, and what role they'll take: Big Bad Wolf (or not so bad wolf, as it may be) or Little Red.
✦ Reply to others.
✦ Thread!
✦ LITTLE REDS
Innocent ✧ You're really in over your head, an ingenue caught up in a most carnal situation.
In Sheep's Clothing ✧ The red cape's an illusion; you're a wolf, or a maneater, looking to earn trust before you strike and get just what you want, and that's their body for your pleasure.
Tempted ✧ You know you shouldn't leave the beaten path, but walking on the wild side is calling your name.
Empowered ✧ In the end, it is your decision to indulge in your own desires. You're no helpless waif.
Not So Sweet ✧ The innocent and pure look is just to get those "big bad wolves" coming your way. You know what you like, and you like it rough.
Hidden ✧ You have a side that's dark, a bad side that's just begging to be punished. You have to keep it secret, though, or you may not even realize it's there yet yourself.
Purify ✧ Even the bad can be swayed by the good, and the goodies in your basket are just sweet enough to tide the beast over.
Fallen ✧ Once you were the hero of the story. Now, the sex and the lust have driven you down a darker road.
Beauty Loves the Beast ✧ What should have been only a little, luscious death has become more. You love your wolf so, you won't let anything happen to them when the hunters come.
✦ WILDCARD
✧ BIG BAD WOLVES
Bad ✦ Every moment of being the monster is something you enjoy. There's never enough precious little treasures to whet your appetite.
Reforming ✦ Your days of being the bad wolf are over and done with...that is, until you're dragged back into your wily ways by the forbidden fruit.
Rough Around the Edges ✦ Actually, you're good, for what you are. As it stands, everyone has their vices, and even you can't stay away from someone walking into your neck of the woods.
Corrupter ✦ You know you destroy innocence and you adore every minute of it.
Finders Keepers ✦ They were wandering into your territory, so you'll keep them as a pet.
Not What You Seem ✦ You appear as if you'd be the Huntsman in this tale, but you're only hiding your teeth.
Romantic ✦ Even a wild beast has a heart. Still, how did they worm their way into yours?
What Big Teeth You Have ✦ All the better to eat you with, my dear. Oh, and you are a biting one.
Reverse ✦ How does it feel when you're the prey, instead? There's a certain rush, though, you can't deny.

 A MEME FOR THE SIZE QUEENS


aka a meme about how size can matter


There are plenty of memes about breasts, breast kink, and things like breast expansion. Now, the shoe's on the other foot, because sometimes, size does matter. Bigger can definitely be better. Let's cut to the chase: we're talking about big dicks. With prompts for both penis-holders and their partners, this meme is for those who like to go big or go home. Whether naturally well-hung, accidentally growing, or inhumanly...well, you know, there's a scene in the making here for everyone, from consensual to non-consensual to hot and unbelievably sexy to silly to just plain over the top.

How to Play

Comment with your character, your preferences, and a bit about what you want here, whether your character has the dick or you're cruising for dick'd partners. You want on the bigger size of normal? Giant? Non-human? Sluttification? What about the scene? What other kinks do you want to involve - dirty talk or talk about/emphasizing size (ie big cock fetish), rough sex, fluff, etc etc.
Reply to others.
RNG or not.

Size

Big: Nothing to turn a nose up to here, you're on the large size. That's putting it mildly.
Bigger: ...even the most experienced have probably never seen someone like you.
Biggest: Ridiculously oversized to the gi-fucking-gantic.


Packing

1. Natural: Baby, you were born this way. Your size is au naturale.
2. Accidental: Through magic or through science, you're getting big for your breeches.
3. Purposeful: Those spam emails about growing your penis totally worked.
4. Inhuman: You're not human, so neither is your cock. That can mean differences in size and in shape.
5. Futa: The obligatory futa option. 'Nuff said.
6. Boner: You can't help your arousal, nor can you hide it due to your size.
7. Secretly Cocky: No one would peg you for someone with a big dick, but you don't have to compensate. When all is revealed, you have a natural charisma.
8. Shy: Most would kill to be like you. On the other hand, you don't want to freak out any potential partners.
9. Inexperienced: Size isn't everything. You need to be taught how to use it.
10. TOO Big: Actually, penetration is out of the question because your partner is too small. Lucky for you, there's more than one way to approach sex.
11. Excess Cum: A big load's only natural from someone built like you. Still, "big" may be a pale word...
12. The Perfect Match: No one felt perfect for your cock until you met this person.
13. Growing: You're still growing - down there.
14. Prep: Sex comes with lots of extra steps for you, as you have to make sure your partner's ready.
15. Curious: Honestly, you're eager to know if your partner can take you.

Partner

16. First Time: This is your first time with this person and...wow. Wow. This is new.
17. Inexperienced: Isn't everyone this big? You don't know, you've never seen any dick except for this one.
18. Surprised: You had no idea about your partner's size and you're shocked.
19. Used to It: After being together for a while, you don't see their differences, you just see them.
20. Ruined: Intentionally or unintentionally, they've made it so no one else can please you ever again.
21. Best You Ever Had: Ah, this is incredible! You've never felt like this before.
22. Teasing: They're big, all right, but you still have all the power.
23. Intimidated: C-can you really fit that inside?
24. Ready to Impress: You can take them, and you'll show them just what you're made of.
25. Made for You: Speaking of being made, no one has ever brought you to orgasm before you met this person.
26. Hurts so Good: There's pain but it's mixed with so much pleasure.
27. Oral: Don't try to deep throat; you won't get very far.
28. Paizuri: AKA titfucking. Put the girls to work.
29. Feeling Tiny: Under them, you feel so small and that turns you on.
30. Inadequate: For the slash crowd, one party has a much, much, MUCH smaller penis. No hard feelings here, right?
31. No Big Deal: Eh, it's not THAT different.
32. Out of Your Mind: You're all well and fucked out like a hentai stereotype. Basically, dick was too bomb.

The Feeling DOMINANT Meme

No matter what your usual preferences are, today, you're feeling dominant. This doesn't mean Dominant with a capital D as in the BDSM sense - unless that's what you're into. It simply means you want to take charge. Maybe you even want to be aggressive and possessive, or you just want to show what you want and when you want it. There could very well be some emotional desires behind this fancy, as well.

This could be a complete change in your normal personality, an extension of what you're naturally like, or a normal but possibly unexplored part of you. It could even mean a spike in sexual interest, libido, or confidence if you're usually not the one to initiate.

So whether you're with an established partner, in an AU setting, or with a one-night stand, let your inner boss shine through and top or top from the bottom. You can control...and that just may be exactly what they want.

  • Comment with your character, preferences, and any info you'd like to include.
  • All top levels are now feeling dominant, whatever that means for your character: aggressive, sweet, patient, demanding, strong, caring, uncaring, etc.
  • Reply to others.

 X E N O P H I L I A



No judgement, only tentacles.

Come one, come all, and bring your non-humans, your aliens and furries
and monsters and angels; if you have none, bring those who would love to
approach those who are inhuman in shape and mind; if you have neither, be free
to alter your characters so they may fit one side, or both. Love knows no boundaries,
after all, nor does attraction; why should species deter one from pleasure and joy?

Directions:

1. Post your character, with preferences and suggestions for those who wish to tag you. Include any information that you think will be relevant and help you find a partner!
2. Tag out to others! A thread takes two, and so does a horizontal tango. You can pick out one of the scenarios suggested below, or do your own thing, whatever. The prompts are mostly there to kick off ideas, not to bind creativity!
3. Be excellent to each other, dudes.

  1. First Meetings: Don't you know it's the tradition of their homeland to have a tryst after introductions.
  2. Long Awaited: You've been involved for a while now, and the shoe's about to drop. You have to get physical at some point.
  3. Putting It Off: ...don't you? Actually, you don't want them to see just what you've got going on, so you've been coming up with outlandish excuses not to have sex. That ends now.
  4. Love: Being in love makes everyone - and everything - beautiful.
  5. Stranger in a Strange Land: You only have one ally in this new, weird place. Better make those bonds tight.
  6. Different Expectations: To you, sex is just a casual game. To them? You're now good as married.
  7. Not Wanted: They want you, but you want nothing to do with them.
  8. See What You've Got: Is it bad you're excited to see what a real life [insert species here] has in their pants?
  9. Just Friendly Curiosity: You're bros, honestly! You just want to see what the big deal is. Surely you can't be that different...
  10. How Will it Fit?: No, seriously. How is that going to fit? You two aren't made to go together in that way.
  11. You Do What?: That doesn't sound like sex at all. Are you sure they're not challenging you to battle.
  12. Not What I Have in Mind: Huh. You really pictured something wildly different.
  13. Unique Quirk: They have extra sensitive horns or wings or the like that can be used for extra fun.
  14. Arcane Magic or Science: They have to get your help to perform some kind of ritual. It also has to be done naked.
  15. Alliance and Marriage, Same Thing: To negotiate peace between your species and theirs, you've got to put a ring on it.
  16. It's for an Experiment!: You two just want to see if your kind can ever be together.
  17. Changed: Somehow, you've been morphed into whatever they are. They're going to be a pal and show you around in your new body.
  18. Difficulties: Okay, there's going to have to be some thought about the logistics here. It's not going to be an easy wham-bam-thank-you-m'am.
  19. Modification: Maybe you can't do the classic penetration, but there are other ways to get off.
  20. Power Up: There are interesting ways you can put abilities to use.
  21. Hurt: You didn't mean to, but you hurt them physically.
  22. Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder: They're actually the most gorgeous specimen back home. You're the ugly one! Well, not exactly to them, but you do look a little funny.
  23. Grossed Out: You tried to be open minded. Yeah, it's not working out. You're turned off.
  24. Take It Slow: Don't rush things along in general is good advice, especially for this mismatched coupling.
  25. More Human than Human: Wait. That's it? You expected - and wanted - something a little more bizarre and exotic.
  26. Unconfident: Wouldn't they like someone of their own kind better? You can't help but feel a bit insecure and unloved.
  27. Did You Know: Some species have a heat cycle! You've volunteered to help out a lover or friend with theirs.

Easy. Easy? No, sell it.

WARRIOR/GUARDIAN AU MEME

In a world rife with war against monstrous fiends, there are those praised for their natural strength and healing abilities. Marked with a symbol which represents either a sword or shield, these individuals are further powered when contracted with those bearing the opposite symbol. Because of this, contracts are deemed mandatory once an individual turns eighteen years of age.

While contracted, Warriors (sword) and Guardians (shield) become sensitive to one another's emotional and physical states. The stronger the bond between them, the more power and abilities can be unlocked. While it's possible to form and break contracts at any given time, the result is a numb and draining sensation which takes time to recover from, making it in everyone's best interest to keep a lifelong contract. After all, the most legendary pairs are the ones who've been together for many years. And with monstrous armies constantly on the attack, the world needs all the help it can get.

Due to Warriors and Guardians being so vital to the city's survival, they are simultaneously treated as royalty by society and kept under close watch by the government. Powered individuals are assigned large and lavish living spaces within a closed community while Commoners, those who lack powers, are situated in surrounding mediocre homes. A vast shield around the city is among the greatest protection against monsters of the outside world, second to the combined power of brave Warrior and Guardian citizens.

But everything couldn't possibly run as smoothly as they do now without the help of Commoners. Everyone has an important role to play in the world. Which one have you been born into?

    HOW TO PLAY -

    • Post with your character and preferences.
    • Choose their role and feel free to include a brief summary of ideal partner personalities, job duties, etc.
    • Pick a prompt and tag around!
ROLES

  • Warrior: Those whose supernatural abilities lie in offensive attacks, physical strength, debuffing the enemy, etc.
  • Guardian: Those whose supernatural abilities lie in defensive attacks, support, healing, buffing allies, etc.
  • Commoner: Those who are born without any supernatural abilities. Commoners are viewed as second-class citizens, as their duties revolve around aiding Warriors and Guardians however they can. i.e. Maids, cooks, weaponsmiths, entertainers, etc.
  • Monster: Those who are the greatest threat to humankind. Because they also possesses supernatural abilities, it's been rumored that they share ancestral ties with Warriors and Guardians. Though Monsters are at war with humans, there are some who are indifferent to them altogether and choose a life of peace.
PROMPTS

  1. The Contract - Could this be your very first or possibly even your thirtieth? Whatever the case, you've trusted them enough to give them a glimpse into your soul so long as you're together. Will you take advantage of that vulnerability? Or use it to build a healthy relationship? Unfortunately, not all contracts are as perfect as they may seem on the surface.

  2. Training - Good teamwork is the difference between life and death so it's important to ensure you and your partner are focused and in sync, especially before a mission.

  3. Bonding - Physical intimacy between Warriors and Guardians is an experience unlike any other, but emotional intimacy is where it all begins. Spend some time together outside of combat, share in each other's interests, get to know their likes and dislikes. It might not seem important at first but in the long run it will make you both stronger.

  4. Mission Time - Is it a long and perilous journey outside the barrier to slay Monsters? A short and simple quest to gather special materials from a specific region? A reconnaissance mission to survey unexplored territory? Whatever you two were assigned, just remember what comes first: keeping each other alive.

  5. Aftercare - The aftermath of a mission can be incredibly taxing, both on the mind and body. Injuries may need to be tended to, emotional states may need to be realigned - especially if you or your partner came close to facing death. But hopefully your partner is there to provide the comfort you'll likely need in this time of vulnerability.

  6. Downtime - When you're busy training or working all the time, it's easy to forget just how lively the city can be. How do you choose to spend your free time in it? Partying the night away? Visiting friends and family? Or maybe you're the type who just likes to stay in for a quiet night.

  7. Different Classes - Whether they're a maid, tailor, or even family, Commoners make up the majority of the city's population. But even if society might see them as lesser doesn't mean they should be treated that way. Over the years, some may despise or be fearful of the supernaturally powered, but there are also some who've developed or maintained close relationships in spite of it all.

  8. Forbidden Love - It's illegal for Warriors and Guardians to develop romantic relations with Commoners, extremely taboo with those they aren't currently contracted to, and utterly unthinkable to even speak to Monsters. But love doesn't discriminate. If you have to sneak around to see your lover then so be it, but sooner or later your partner or the government is bound to find out, right?

  9. On the Run - For whatever reason, you and someone else have decided to start a new life far away from the city and its strict rules. It wasn't easy slipping away from under the government's watchful eye and it won't get any easier with monsters around every corner, but maybe you can find a way to make it work and live happily ever after. Just know that the government always finds a way to get what they want in the end.

  10. Wildcard - Mix and match or choose your own adventure!

kissing. that's it, that's the meme.

ONE: comment with your character and preferences.
TWO: you're kissing.
THREE: reply to others.
FOUR: no, seriously, they're kissing.
FIVE: whether there's backstory behind it, whether this has been building-building-BUILDING up or you've just met or you've been cursed by the universal, non-season specific hanging festive object of your choice and you can't escape until you smooch OR you literally just tripped into somebody's lips, if doesn't matter. btw it doesn't have to be on the mouth. live your best creative life.
SIX: it's a thing. it's happening. so you probably better let the people in the back know if you want assumed CR, gentle kisses on the forehead only, if you prefer gen/platonic kisses for the kids, crack threads, frenching, one-sided or misunderstood intentions and mistaken identities, whatevs.
SEVEN: kissin'. kiss kiss fall in love motherf-

PROMPTS

( 1 ) dancing; whichever dance -- and remember, the waltz was initially frowned upon for how close partners were -- you are dancing. maybe your dance card is full and you'll move on to the next admirer. maybe this is the partner you've had your eyes on forever. whichever it is, enjoy this one dance.

( 2 ) subtle touches; helping her down from the carriage, touching her hand in a crowded ballroom, whatever it is, tonight you're communicating with small gestures and subtle glances.

( 3 ) note passing; have something to tell the one you like but no chance to do so in person? surely there is a servant willing to run an errand or two for you...

( 4 ) awkward carriage rides; you're alone in the carriage without a chaperone. what to make of it?

( 5 ) arranged marriage; your hand was promised to this person. do you like them? do you hate them? will you come to some sort of arrangement?

( 6 ) absconding to the moors; obligatory smut option.

( 7 ) rich/poor; you're from different social classes and your liason would be frowned upon if people knew.

 Non-Penetrative Sex Meme!

There’s plenty of sex that involves orifices, but this isn’t a meme for that kind of sex. This is the meme for handjobs, footjobs, hotdogging, and anything else your heart desires.

HOW TO PLAY:

-Comment with your characters with preferences and a little information.
-Reply to other characters
-Use the RNG to roll or pick a prompt.

WHY

1. No contraception
You forgot to take your pill, you left your condoms at home, someone’s allergic to latex, it doesn’t matter. You have to improvise, and would prefer not to use mouths.
2. Best kind of sex
You really have a thing for outersex, no questions asked.
3. Need for speed
Intercourse and the subsequent cleanup will take too long. Just be careful not to get anything on clothes!
4. Exploration
This time you have a lot of time to set aside for some experimentation.
5. Tortuous
Have someone at your mercy? Know that outersex isn’t someone’s favorite outlet for relief? This one’s for you.

HOW

1. Hands
Old fashioned, but hands are great. Nimble, sensitive and all around good for hitting the right spots.
2. Breasts
Yeah, there was a whole meme about it already, but this is just one of many options--and you don’t even have to put a penis or strapon between them this time!
3. Thighs
Just like the ancient greeks--you apply lube between the thighs, tighten up and get ready to have fun.
4. Butt
Hotdogging for everyone! Penis and strapons go between the butt cheeks. Sorta similar to thighs, but different stimulation for the receiving partner.
5. Feet
If your feet are nimble enough for this, go ahead! Just be careful not to slip or kick anyone.
6. Frottage
Rub your penises together and enjoy yourselves!
7. Mutual masturbation
Don’t even touch each other, just watch. Learn some new techniques.
8. Tribadism
It has its critics, but you like it, thank you very much.
9. Humping
Do you just like to hump thighs or something? This is your prompt.
10. Dry humping
Clothes on! Don’t get rug burn.
11. Anything I haven’t covered? Want to mix and match? Re-roll? Here you are!

Old West AU

Welcome to Dry River. You're a long way from home partner. It’s the mid 1800s and this dusty little frontier town isn’t much of a landmark but the local color might make your stay interesting.

Cut some cards at the rowdy saloon. Stay at the inn and pay for a little company. Or take a job as a farmhand if you just need to make a quick buck and buy your ticket out of here.

Keep your nose clean though. Train robbers, card cheats and bandits have been known to pass through these parts. But you wouldn’t know nothin’ about that, would you?

It’s a Wild West AU. Establish yourself as a local or a stranger and rustle up some adventure or romance.

→ What you’ve just tossed their way is what your character just said to theirs. Or screamed. Or scrawled graffiti about onto a nearby wall. Or texted. The concept of “speaking” might be qualified as post-verbal these days. Do you! Heck, do you so much that you can even put your dialogue line in your top-level comment to make it all the more enticing.

→ They'll give your their character's response. Replies back and forth should be one line...ish of dialogue each. First to dip into their feelings, popping out paragraphs and prose descriptions loses wins receives a lovely consolation prize of a dinette set!

Hades & Persephone.
Persephone was gathering flowers with the Oceanids along with Artemis and Athena—the Homeric Hymn says—in a field when Hades came to abduct her, bursting through a cleft in the earth. Demeter, when she found her daughter had disappeared, searched for her all over the earth with torches. In most versions she forbids the earth to produce, or she neglects the earth and in the depth of her despair she causes nothing to grow. Helios, the sun, who sees everything, eventually told Demeter what had happened and at length she discovered the place of her abode. Finally, Zeus, pressed by the cries of the hungry people and by the other deities who also heard their anguish, forced Hades to return Persephone. Hades indeed complied with the request, but first he tricked her, giving her some pomegranate seeds to eat. Persephone was released by Hermes, who had been sent to retrieve her, but because she had tasted food in the underworld, she was obliged to spend a third of each year (the winter months) there, and the remaining part of the year with the gods above.

but even that hardest of hearts unhardened suddenly when he saw her there: persephone in her mother’s garden, sun on her shoulders, wind in her hair, the smell of flowers she held in her hand and the pollen that fell from her fingertips. and suddenly, hades was only a man with a taste of nectar upon his lips


To live your life in darkness is no easy task. Evil may be just a point of view - one you may not ascribe to yourself - but a black heart or a ruthless mind is hardly quieted. While you don't regret what you've done, at least not outwardly, you do wonder if there isn't something more. Grey morality has discolored your world.

That is, until you see them.

They are beautiful, pure, good: everything that you are not. You should be annoyed or at least ambivalent to their presence; after all, they serve you no purpose, promise you no gain. But oddly enough, you are drawn to them, and not even in hopes to destroy or corrupt. No, you want to have them, to keep them with you. What to do with this newfound feeling?

Act on it, of course. You've never let anything stop you before. What you don't realize (or perhaps do, you just don't exactly care) is that the object of your...affection may not be too keen on being taken what they see as a prisoner. Yet you only have their best interests at heart! Still, you do care for them, in your own fashion, more than almost anyone else, so surely a deal can be struck...

You just couldn't bear to lose them.

  • This meme, obviously, is inspired by the myth of Hades and Persephone. Feel free to be as literal or as loose with your interpretations as you'd like.
  • Comment with your character, canon, preferences, and what role you'd like your character to play.

TABOO meme

Most societies have certain mores that are unspoken rules; humanity itself even has such conventions, grilled subconsciously into our minds for our own safety. Don't go out alone at night. Avoid getting wet when it's cold. Don't pick fights with those stronger than you...okay, some of us missed the boat on the last one, but the point still stands. Society's rules tend to be more variable, though they apply to most aspects of life - including sex. In fact, bending the rules on what's considered acceptable in romance and sexual encounters can lead to anything from ostracization to death, depending on the time and culture.

So, play it close to the chest if you're going to do a big, big, big t a b o o. Is it worth the risk?

How to Play

- Comment with your character and preferences. Be sure to include what you want and what you DON'T WANT. Blank comments are fine; info is even better!
- Reply to others.
- Be fun and respect others, as this will deal with some heavy topics and potentially triggering material s.


Prompts


A G E ( DIFFERENCE ) - light of my life, fire of my loins. you're supposed to stick to those your own age, but you can't resist.
I N C E S T - you're of the same blood, yet something draws you together. you'll keep your secret thicker than water.
C H E A T I N G - when you were young, they should have taught you to not take things that belong to other people.
I N ( PUBLIC ) - to involve unsuspecting others in your sex is insidious, but you can't resist it.
S U P E R F L U O U S - some conservative societies view sex outside procreational purposes as taboo. that means anal, oral, and toys are all no-go.
F I X A T I O N - you're nearly obsessed with one part of your partner - breasts, ass, lips...whatever the case may be, you always focus on that.
D E V I A N C Y ( IN SUBURBIA ) - there are some things that should be sacred. the home should be one of those. should.
S I Z E - pick on someone your own size. couples with large size difference, be it height or weight, can be looked down upon; don't let that get you down.
P H O B I A - unfortunately, in some societies, being with someone of the same gender is a taboo, no matter how much progress the modern world has made.
F E T I S H - some just can't get off without their fetish, and the varieties run the gamut: feet, crossdressing, autoerotic asphyxiation, foodplay, bondage...it goes on and on.
U N E X P E C T E D ( DOMINATION/SUBMISSION ) - the masculine must be dominant. the feminine must be submissive. what if you're dominant in life, though, and just want to be submissive in the bedroom.
V I O L E N T - more than mere lover's spats, what goes on between you two is dangerous. if people knew, they'd be horrified. still, you can't stop.
F O R B I D D E N ( LOVE ) - your relationship may be taboo, but there's genuine love in your copulation. this isn't merely a thrill.
L O O S E - monogamy isn't what you're after. no matter how looked down upon it is, you're going to have fun while you can.
S T U D E N T / T E A C H E R - what goes on between the sheets is not an appropriate subject matter to teach. there's so much to lose; is it a smart game to play?
A U T H O R I T Y - perhaps they're the boss, the president, the king, but you, you're a lowly peon. are they using their powers over you or is this something you both want?
I N T E R S P E C I E S - kind finds kind, and don't you be a traitor by being with one of them.
B E S T I A L I T Y - one of the most primal taboos. will you go into that moral wilderness?
S O C I A L ( CLASS ) - the rich. the poor. it's like they're in two different worlds. what will the uppercrust say if they saw their golden child with a tramp?
C E L I B A C Y - you are supposed to keep your chastity, but things are never that easy.
S T O C K H O L M - prisoners should never fall for their guards.
D U T I E S - whether it be saving the world or being the world's best bodyguard, your sworn quest and purpose keeps you from enjoying the sins of the flesh - especially with your charges.
I N N O C E N C E - one of you is much more worldly, and to ruin the "innocence" of the other feels unclean.
F E R T I L E - you aren't supposed to find mothers or fathers sexually alluring. however, there's something so enticing about fertility...perhaps even pregnancy.
C O R R U P T I O N - society expects you to treat your partner well, not try to destroy them through sexual degradation.
N O N C O N S E N S U A L - consent is rightfully important to a healthy sexual relationship. to break that trust is taboo.

 MORE THAN JUST A JOB



It's only business, nothing personal...at least, that's how it started. You were pegged as the right one for a job that involves this person; your task could be positive, such as protecting them with their consent or without it, guiding them from point a to point b, and the like - or, as seedier transactions tend to go, it could be negative. You have to take them back to a place they really don't want to return to, you have to be a jailor, or you even have to be their assassin. At the very least, helping or hurting, you'll be compensated generously (by money or, you know, by not being killed off). And that was all that mattered.


Until they mattered.

They could have shown you something you never knew existed in the world or in yourself. They could have done any number of things, yet they've won you and your feelings over. Your priorities just may shift because of this, but will their view of you do the same as soon as they learn why you were around them in the first place? For your own gain? Will they be able to forgive you?

Even if they can, will they be able to see you the way you see them?

The BLIND DATE Meme





The Blind Date meme. Pretty self-explanatory. No matter how awkward and unexpected they might be, there is always something exciting about them. Who is your company for the evening going to be? Will it be a person of your innermost dreams or someone you absolutely can't stand? And most importantly...
 
How are you going to handle it?

What do:

1. Post with your character! They're now in the middle of a blind date.
2. Comment to each other! When you do that...
3. Go to Random.org and roll a single die!
1. 
First date
 -- You've never been out on a date before, so someone's decided to give you a helping hand.
2. 
On the rebound
 -- You're recovering from a painful breakup, but your friends/family think they found a great person for you anyway.
3. 
Not strangers at all
 -- Someone thought you didn't know your date. Turns out you know them from somewhere.
4. 
Hideously awkward
 -- Hey wait, that's your ex/boss/doctor/distant family member! Or, even worse, it's that person you absolutely despise. This will go well!
5. 
Existing partner
 -- You two are just acting like strangers to spice up your love life.
6. 
Future spouse
 -- Unfortunately, you have to have an arranged marriage. Fortunately, you get to meet that special someone for a date beforehand. How will the night go?
7. ...or, instead of rolling, come up with your own scenario!
4. Play out the date. This meme can be completely fluffy, smutty, or hilarious. If you don't want smut, you can put that in your subject. It doesn't even have to be romantic.

the SHOWER SEX meme
> Your character is in the shower with another character because they're close enough to do that together.
> You're helping each other get clean.
> You start getting freaky. Maybe this is the sequel to earlier sex or just unwinding after a bad week.
> If you're from a canon that is set in the olden days or a world without showers, you're in a bath or a hot springs or a bathhouse.

hookup meme
Hey, there's nothing wrong with it. Sex is human nature, and people just want it. Some people do it with someone they love, or even like. But some people just do it with one person for one night, and while the feelings last, the person doesn't.

This is known as a hookup. A one-night stand. A fling.

Or maybe, just maybe, it's more. Or not. Who knows?

Rules

1. Post your character, series, and preferences in the subject head, and (optionally) the setting of the place in the comments. This can be a hotel room, your character's home, a car... just give some description.

2. A person will reply to you. They can roll for options down below if they'd like or just free form it.

3. Give that booty a tap.

Here are a few options for those of you who would like something to choose between.

What kind of one-night stand is it?

1. Bar hookup - Booze helps those one-night stands along.

2. Cafe hookup - Some people enjoy a good hookup with their daily cup of joe.

3. Blind 'date' - To your hotel room. Don't expect dinner and dessert.

4. App - The future's today, folks. Just swipe left and you've got the honey in the pot. Ding, ding, hear those notifs ring!

5. Encore - You've had a one-night stand with this person already! Some people love seconds. Still, this is the last time. The last last time. Honest. Swear.

6. Revenge - You're getting revenge on that one person who hurt you badly. You want to hurt them back. Maybe you're doing it with their significant other, a sibling... or just them.

7. Clubbing - You just went to the club with your friends and oh you so want to get with that.

8. Last Night of Freedom - You're getting married tomorrow and you have one night free. Your spouse said this was the last night of being single and so you're going to take advantage of it.

9. Fame - You're famous and you can do whatever you bloody well please. Why not take one of your fans and give them a real story to share?

10. Heated - You're angry. Their face, it's just so— so punchable. Or kissable.

11. Battle - After you almost died, what's more life-affirming than a little skinship?

12. Weakness - You're lonely. Hurt, perhaps, mentally or physically. Lovesick for someone else? Lots of options, one moment of weakness.

13. Out of Practice - It's been a while since you've been in the game. Time to get back in the saddle. Human contact's healthy, y'know.

14. Curious - Hey, what can you do when you just have to know what it's like to be with that person? Inquiring minds!

15. Unapologetic - No shame to how you play. If you want the D/the V, you get it.

16. Resolved - Far be it from us to lie, so we gotta point out how much unresolved sexual tension has been bubbling between you two. Only natural that balloon bursts sometime.

16. Free Pick - Pick any of the above or something I couldn't think of.

We know them. We love them. And, hey, sometimes there is only one bed.

 Toplevel to your heart's content. If you want to include preferences and kinks, I won't stop you.

 Prompt others with a jewel plucked from the treasure trove that is the smut trope generator! Like "an extremely sweet encounter with the local mafia boss" or "forbidden sex after a love confession," for example.

 Others will hit you up. Take the prompt, run with it.

 You could always toplevel with some results of your own, too. Again, I'm not your meme boss. I don't sign the checks.

We've got you covered and brought a whole spread of CR-building scenarios, from mundane to magnificent, to wrangle any disparate characters together.

examples:
Character X accidentally gives Character Y a black eye, broken nose, or split lip.
Character X mistakes Character Y for someone else until it is too late.
Character X shows up to a blind date... Who turns out to be Character Y.

how to play:
By now, we all know how the story goes. You, top-level commenters, toss your information and preferences up there, replying parties will dip into the generator, paste what they've got down here, and it's off to the races.

Sex behind closed doors: Where's the fun in that? None of that here! This is a celebration of sex with an audience. Whoever's body it is that you're exploring, you're joined by a whole crowd of people - and they're watching the whole time. All those eyes on you can be a bit scary, but maybe they can also add an extra layer of thrill to the proceedings. This one's for the exhibitionist in all of us.

This meme works a little different than most. It's an experimental idea!

RULES

  1. Make a toplevel post.
  2. Find someone else to have sex with, pick a prompt from the list below, and reply to them. You're now the stars of the show.
  3. Start with some buildup if you want, or maybe just get right down to business.
  4. Anyone can - and is encouraged to - respond to any thread at any time, as a spectator. Spectators are here to watch the sex unfold, and can react to the thread as it proceeds, be scandalized by what's going on in front of them, pleasure themselves as they watch, talk to each other about things, or even start having their own fun with each other in the audience.
  5. The one hard rule is that the spectators cannot, under any circumstances, touch the two characters who started the thread.
  6. Continue chaotically responding to each other's comments and threads in a tangled mishmash of sexy fun.
  7. Whether or not any spectators reply to a thread, assume a crowd is present.

PROMPTS


  1. Wild Party! Sometimes things get really wild at house parties. Maybe you lost a bet, or got hit with some kind of penalty game. Hell, maybe you're just really horny and a little drunk. Either way, it's time to get hot and heavy on the couch, and anyone else in the room can go to hell. Or stay, and enjoy the show.
  2. Live on Stage! This one's kind of dream logic, but bear with it. For whatever reason, the two of you are on a stage, having your sexual encounter in front of a live audience in the stands. Whatever you do, you do for them as much as for each other. Let the crowd's cheers drive you wild. Hell, maybe there's sports commentary in the background.
  3. Bonobo Society! This thread takes place in an alternate universe where the social boundaries around sex just don't really exist. People have sex with each other all the time, with whoever wants to have sex with them, and there's no pesky rules about keeping it behind closed doors. This could be taking place at any kind of social gathering, and you're having sex at it because that's just what people do in this world. The others can watch, make small talk, generally treat this as totally commonplace, but also join in some ultra-casual sex of their own.
  4. Horny Twitch! This is all just part of your career as a livestreamer - but instead of games, you're streaming yourselves. In this one, the spectators aren't physically present - instead, they're the chat section.
  5. Magic Sex Drugs! Make sure your partner's cool with this premise, because it's a bit more dubious. The two of you are under the effects of some kind of super-aphrodisiac, and it's making you want each other so badly that you simply don't care who sees - you have to do this, right now. Spectators can be similarly drugged to be into the show, or scandalized at your choice of time and place, or looking for some sex themselves, as long as they don't try to interfere.
  6. Wildcard! Come up with your own justification! Or don't, and just keep it abstract and sexy! This should be as complex or as simple as you want it to be!

Reiterating the only hard rule of this thread: 
Look, but don't touch... the main couple, that is. The partners can touch each other, the spectators can touch each other or themselves, but the wall between the couple and the audience is absolute. It's exhibitionism, not an orgy.

   The nerve of her! Coming here with your face!
The Mistaken Identity Meme

There are infinite universes, and only a limited range of human features. Whether your character is a twin, a triplet, a clone, a shapeshifter, a really good makeup artist, or just played by a reasonably prolific actor, there's someone out there in RP land who's a dead ringer for them. Shenanigans are practically required to ensue.

You know the drill. Post, tag, profit.

  1. PRANK ⇄ We can't wait to see their faces when they figure it out! Isn't split-screen technology nifty?
  2. MUTUAL ADVANTAGE ⇄ I'd rather be her, and she'd rather be me, so we came to an agreement. It's better this way.
  3. WENT TOO FAR ⇄ Look, it's just that we switched clothes for a lark. I'm the real prince, why won't anyone believe me!?
  4. INFILTRATION ⇄ Of course it's me. Quit fooling around and let me into the secret facility already.
  5. CHANCE RESEMBLANCE ⇄ Should you tell them you've never seen them before in your life, or should you play along?
  6. MIND GAMES ⇄ There's no better way to mess with someone than to impersonate their nearest and dearest.
  7. FALL GUY ⇄ It wasn't me! It was my identical twin! He's always getting me in trouble.
  8. DECOY ⇄ Your job is to keep the heat off your double, so make it convincing.

unexpected domesticity shipping meme.

you never thought you'd have a home, at least not one you can call completely yours, no strings attached and no one lording above you or controlling you. you may not have even known what a "home" truly is, or thought you wanted one. now, there is a touch of domesticity in your life, no matter what things are like otherwise, because you have a home, though you may not have a house proper.

most importantly, you now have someone to share this new facet of life with - a partner. similar to you or completely different, relationship unspoken or unrealized, heavily romantic or understated, they are slowly but surely becoming someone indispensable to you. you never could have seen this coming. and, of course, with domesticity comes a certain amount of intimacy, perhaps even the ultimate physical intimacy...you may be open to that already or you're working up to it when you'd hardly considered it before.

whether your situation is for the long term as it stands, could end at any moment, or a mere disguise you're using to lay low, you're getting comfortable. how does that make you feel? will you accept a new lease on life - or will you sabotage yourself before someone else does?

— Comment with your character, preferences, what tone you want your thread to take, and whether or not your open to smut.

  I N YOUR LAP


 

Some things don't need explanations. Chicken wings. Wonderful weather. Guilty pleasures like Michael Bay movies. This meme is one of those things. It's simple: one character is in another's lap, and eventually the two get hot and heavy. Whether it's a friend sitting on a lap because there's no room, couples cuddling, or a stripper giving a lap dance, one thing will lead to another...after all, the loss of personal space can certainly set 
actions (and more) in motion.

Prompts
  1. Innocent Lap Sitting: It's just a friendly gesture. Maybe you're enjoying a movie or a dinner together. Nothing wrong with that!
  2. Romantic Canoodling: You two are spending some time together, and there's no way to be closer than to snuggle up in your lover's lap.
  3. Out of Necessity: No more room on the bench, in the booth, or on the couch? There's a place on their lap.
  4. Amateur Lap Dance: Just something sexy between lovers. Or maybe more silly than sexy.
  5. Professional Lap Dance: Better break out the ones. This lap dance will cost you.
  6. Dare: Nobody ever thought you'd get this close and personal, so they pushed you into doing it.
  7. Pointed: They said you couldn't turn them on so easily. Challenge accepted.
  8. Accidental: Oops, you've fallen! Good thing this lap was there.
  9. Step Back I Feel a Little Poke: Wait. What's this? Maybe you should wiggle your hips a little to find out.
  10. Lovemaking Lapsitting: Riding someone while they're sitting up can make the rider feel powerful, since they're on top, but the one being ridden may notice just how soft and small they are...and embrace them out of instinct.

kiss their hand
A character takes the hand of another and kisses it as a mark of respect. Used to portray the character as particularly romantic, chivalrous, foreign, or just a bit old-fashioned.

( modified from here. )
Why stick with the cliché? The subdued? The modern? Go big or go home, we say! There's nothing wrong with reaching out, taking someone's hand — and laying a sweet kiss right on the back of it (or on their palm, their finger, their wrist...)! You just know you'll leave an impression. So, whether in a polite yet platonically old-fashioned greeting, a sworn oath, a hope to sweep them off their feet, a measure of comfort, or anything in between, drop to one knee and kiss the ring.

Ring optional.

How to Play
- Comment with your character, info, prefs, the business. What role are you going to play? Slap that in there, too.
- Reply to others.
- Your character is kissing their hand. Or getting a hand kissed. Whichever!

"Aftercare is the process of attending to one
another after intense feelings of a physical or
psychological nature, usually relating to sexual
and/or BDSM activities.

Some sexual experiences can be exhausting,
and drain the participants of mental, emotional
or physical energy. As a result, one or all
participants may require emotional support,
comfort, reassurance, and/or physical tenderness."

HOW TO PLAY:

oo1. comment with your characters
oo2. include preferences 
oo3. roll and respond to others!

You can start in the beginning or middle of the sexual encounter/scene, but aftercare should be included in the scenario at some point

WARNING: this meme includes sexual scenarios that may be triggering for some people. Please be aware of other people's preferences, and ask if you're unsure!

1. Hug it out After a particularly rough tumble, sometimes the first thing you need is a good cuddle. Remind your significant other that you're there in the most simple yet sincere way.

2. Talk about it Are there things you want to tell your lover about what just happened? Were you uncomfortable about one part of it, or maybe you want to try and go further next time? Or maybe you want to resume to normal and just talk about the weather. Whatever sets you most at ease.

3. First aid It can be a whole lot of fun to be physically stimulated while having sex, but once its done, those red and blue marks might be a literal pain to deal with day-to-day. Rub some soothing creme onto those red welts, apply bandages or gauze for more severe wounds, and take care of your lover in any other way that might be necessary.

4. Massage Work out those tight and tender muscles that got all wound up during intercourse. Besides, no one knows your lover's body like you do, so you should do your best to make them feel good and relaxed.

5. Clean up Another great way to relax is to let water run over your sore skin. Whether in a shower or a bath (maybe you decided to up the romance and put candles all over the bathroom to make the aftercare even more intimate), it's a great way to come down from a sexual high together. 

6. Praise Some experiences can be tough mentally as well as physically. If you just went through a punishment scene together, it's important to let your lover know how proud you are of them, and that all is forgiven. Make it clear in no uncertain terms that once the sex is over, you still love them.

7. Take Care Make them their favorite tea. Turn on their favorite song, or read to them from their favorite book. If they hadn't gotten their release during sex, take care of them physically, as well. You know what makes them feel better, so do it.

8. Together Sometimes, all a person needs is to not be alone for a while after such intense sexual encounters. Watch some feel-good TV, eat some junk food together, or just stay under the sheets with your significant other for the rest of the night. 

9. Other Mix and match, or do something else you've been wanting to try.

a break/up meme

All good things come to an end... but sometimes, it is through our toughest moments that we discover our greatest strengths as people or as partners. This is a meme for breakups of all flavors: between friends, lovers, spouses, and villains. Is this truly over, or is there still a future ahead of you?
prompts


1. a fling
Whether you're slipping out of their bed after a single night or several, this relationship was never meant to last long.

2. just be friends
Sometimes, the spark just fizzles out. Can you still be friends? What do you mean to each other without the romance?

3. divorce
They're more than your best friend; they are your life partner. At least, you thought they were... once upon a time.

4. death
Circumstances beyond your control are taking your love away. Are you at their bedside, or is someone else delivering the news?

5. for their own good
You don't want to break up, but you swear it's for the best. You or your job are putting your love in danger, or maybe you know your relationship is toxic.

6. fake-out
You have to pretend to break up for... reasons? Perhaps it's for an undercover job, for their own safety, or even to put their commitment to the test.

7. all a lie
This relationship was never true. You were being manipulated the entire time, either purposefully or through a curse, spell, or potion.

8. on again, off again
This isn't the first time you're breaking up, and it probably won't be the last. You just can't stay away.

9. friend breakup
It can be painful when close friends part ways, too.

10. wildcard
Anything goes!

the next level

Enemies to friends. Friends to lovers. Nothing tests the strength of our relationships and our individual character quite like times of transition, and that goes double when that change involves another person. Sometimes, growing closer to someone means making sacrifices, adjusting our worldview, and compromising certain ideals for the sake of accommodating something new in our lives. Transition also means leaving behind a comfortable status quo, which is more challenging for some than for others.

When it goes well, however... we can gain friends, life partners, and valued allies.

So, how about it? Let's take things to the next level.

prompts


1. enemies to friends
Whether it's a schoolyard bully or the sworn enemy of the chosen one, someone has decided you're worth changing their ways for.

2. friends to lovers
No one knows you quite like your bestie... but what if they could be more? Can you have the best of both worlds, or would you be risking your entire friendship?

3. going steady
You're taking the next step and going exclusive. Are you ready for the commitment?

4. moving in
Shacking up together is exciting, but stressful: apartment hunting, financial worry, noticing each other's annoying little habits. To say nothing of picking out the color of the curtains!

5. proposal/tying the knot
Some might say that marriage is the biggest step you can take, but others just call it the beginning of something great.

6. starting a family
Having a baby, adopting a dog or cat, setting up a fishtank... you're ready to expand!

7. reverse card
Any of the above, but in reverse! Friends turn to enemies, relationships dissolve. This is the prompt for breakups and makeups.

8. wildcard
Anything goes!

THE PSYCHIC CONNECTION MEME


What if you were not alone in your thoughts? What if you were never alone? Surely it would change the way you think or behave, if you could simply reach out with your mind and truly know another person's true feelings. They say that so many of life's problems could be solved if we could simply understand one another without any lies or pretense to get in the way. What do you think?

No matter the cause - whether this is normal in your world, or through some magical or spiritual mishap - suddenly, you're about to find out what it's like to share a psychic connection.



PROMPTS



1. Soulmate
You'll know right away who your soulmate is, because you'll feel their mind touch yours. Together forever, in the most intimate of ways... that's good, right?

2. Touch
Your mental connection is only active when you touch.

3. One-sided
You can hear their thoughts, and maybe even send them messages, but they can't hear yours. Doesn't seem fair, does it?

4. Haunted
Are you going crazy, or are you being haunted by a ghost that's taken up residence in your mind?

5. The Other? Half
You can hear every thought... but only if they're ( male/female/an elf or something/someone you're attracted to) !

6. Dreamwalking
You may be miles or even entire timelines apart, but you can always meet them in their dream.

7. Sensation
It isn't someone's thoughts that you experience, per se, but you can feel their emotions and physical sensations as if they are your own.

8. Wildcard

THE SUMMER FESTIVAL MEME

Ah, summer: sunny days, clear skies, and endless days of freedom (or at least, childhood memories thereof). It's also the perfect time of year for festivals! So grab a friend or a date, don your concert outfit or your traditional attire, and enjoy the season of fun in the sun!



1. Matsuri
Traditional Japanese summertime festivals feature fun foods, performances, dance, and music. Enjoy a walk around the festival grounds with a friend or sweetheart, and conclude your day by watching fireworks over the water!

2. Music
The afternoon sun may be sweltering, but the heat won't get you down! Live it up with back-to-back outdoor concerts and mosh pits, or just hang out in the grassy hills and enjoy the thumping beats.

3. Fireworks
Who doesn't love a colorful nighttime display? Or, cause a little chaos with some backyard sparklers and poppers!

4. Dance
Learn some new steps and dance your heart out with whatever partners you find!

5. Culture
What better way to experience a new culture than to go to a festival dedicated to food, art, and history? If you're lucky, you'll have a friend to show you around.

6. Love
Festivals that celebrate legendary loves are the perfect place to take a date... or wish for one.

7. Fertility
Those penis-shaped lollipops are not for the faint of heart, that's for sure! Or, swing for the fences and attend a fantasy festival that encourages attendees to enjoy the sexy mood, if you catch my drift.

8. Wildcard
Anything goes!

THE BEACH EPISODE MEME!


If you can't beat the heat, join it! Cool off in the waves, bury your sleeping friends in the sand, hunt for riches, or live like a castaway king on an island's bountiful resources. There are plenty of ways to enjoy the beach! On a hot day like this, what could be more fun... or romantic?


PROMPTS


1. Seaside Fun
Sandcastles, wading, sunbathing, clam digging, shell collecting, snorkeling... there's so much to do, how can you possibly choose?

2. Sunset
Sure, fun in the sun is nice, but nothing beats a gorgeous, colorful sunset over the ocean horizon. Romantic!

3. Beach Volleyball
...and other assorted sandy sports! If it isn't a competition, you're just not trying hard enough!

4. Cookout
Whether you're dining at a beachside bar or going DIY and digging a pit in the sand, it's hard to top a pina colada and the freshest of seafood.

5. Castaway
It was just supposed to be a three hour tour... now you're stranded on an island! How long have you been here? Will help ever arrive?

6. Treasure Hunting
Maybe it's a modern scavenger hunt, or perhaps it's the age of pirates and you've got a map with a big, tempting X marking the spot. Are you ready to strike it rich?

7. Roadtrip
You're getting your buddies together and taking a journey to the coast!

8. I'm A Lobster!
Not everything on the beach is fun. There's stinging jellyfish, sand in the pants, sunburns, obnoxious drunks... yikes!

9. Sex On The Beach
You know, the smut option. Mind the sand.

10. Wildcard
Anything goes!

TRUE TO MYSELF:
A Gen or Shipping Meme


You have a secret that you've been keeping from those closest to you. It could be a terrible power, a dark past, an illness, a hidden life. You know that to tell the truth about yourself is to risk absolutely everything. Not only would they (rightfully) question the very idea of staying with you - it isn't safe, it isn't sane - but you've kept it from them so long. How could they possibly trust you again?

But at the same time... this secret is eating you up inside. You love them, all of them. Every perfection and every flaw. All you've ever wanted is for someone to care for you completely in that same way, and maybe, just maybe... you can have that with them.

So, do you have what it takes to be vulnerable? Can you find the courage to be true to yourself, and to the people you love?


How to Play

1. Top level with a brief description of your character and what their secret might be.
2. Don't forget your preferences! (gen or shipping, etc)
3. Tag around!

   F◼◼◼-OR-DIE



In this world, in this society, you have a very simple choice: seek out intimacy with others with regularity, or suffer lethal consequences. How you arrived here is of no importance. Perhaps this is the only life you've known, or maybe you were transported to another place through mysterious means. Regardless, there is no escape. You have to fuck, or else you or your loved ones die.


PROMPTS


1. COLLARS
You've been outfitted with a collar that tightens the longer you go without sex.

2. ENERGY
You get your life energy from sex, and without it, you will slowly fade away and cease to exist.

3. CRYSTALLIZATION
Without intimacy, one or both of you will gradually turn to crystal or stone.

4. SERVITUDE
You must do as your master says, or face the consequences. Masters, too, may be bound by societal expectation to demand what is needed.

5. ILLNESS
Sexual acts are the only way to keep a mysterious illness at bay. It could be a fantasy illness like hanahaki, or something more realistic.

6. TRANSFORMATION
Sex prevents you from becoming your monstrous self, a beast capable of killing your loved ones.

7. WILDCARD
Anything goes!

AN ANDROID AU MEME


Man or machine - or does it even matter? How will we define "personhood" in an age when artificial intelligence is perfected, and humans can integrate seamlessly with technology? After all, a consciousness is a consciousness, even if it's artificial. Perhaps even if that consciousness is programmed for a specific purpose, like helping you around the house, protecting you, or keeping you company - for even highly specialized AIs learn, experience, and feel like any other. Some may even surpass humankind in intelligence and wisdom, while others are indistinguishable from regular people. Surely that makes these beings more than tools.

But of course, programming is still programming.... right?



PROMPTS


1. HOME AI
Programmed especially for you, designed to keep your life organized and on track while also taking care of most domestic tasks. This AI will come to know you better than anyone else in your life.

2. COMPANION
Are you lonely? Missing someone special? A companion robot may be the solution for you! Companion bots are completely customizable, including animal models, child surrogates, adult models, and more!

3. BATTLEBOT
Some bots are destined for more than the home. These are high-tech, highly resilient androids designed for combat, police work, and gladiator-style entertainment.

4. CYBORG
As technology advances, some humans have chosen - or perhaps were forced - to become almost more machine than man. The advantages are clear, but what are the disadvantages? Can you interact with "normal" people in the same way?

5. ROBOT OVERLORDS
Experts have long predicted a time when AI would exceed human intelligence and capability. It was always inevitable that someday, the tables would turn.

6. MALFUNCTION
Programming errors, planted viruses, design flaws, kill switches - despite all of the advantages of highly advanced technology, nothing is perfect.

7. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Even the best designed technology breaks down and needs repair. For a machine with human-like intelligence, this requires a deft and trusted hand.

8. WILDCARD
Anything goes!

wrapped around your finger
selectively sweet shipping meme


You might be the biggest curmudgeon in the known universe, just as prickly as a porcupine. Perhaps you're on the other end of the spectrum, cool like a cucumber and never letting anyone get to you. They're not worthy of your time. Still, despite what the case may be, you have one little weak spot. The person you love gets all the sweetness and kindness you have, which admittedly may not be too much, and in your rare moments together, many would be shocked at how you behave. In fact, your special person might not even know that you can be grumpy outside of your encounters!

Well, goes to show that everyone doen't know everything about you, do they?

  • This meme is pretty shamelessly for fluff, opening up, dokis, and also more dokis.
  • Respond with your character, preferences, what role you'd like to play if it matters, and any other info.

♕ The Royally Common Romance Meme ♔


❝And I tell you truly, Daenerys, there is no man in all the world who will ever be half so true to you as me.❞


Inspired by an anon comment on rpanons ages ago about a PSL they'd like to play.

Heavy the head that wears the crown, they say, and little could be more true. Of course, there is glamor in the life: power, privilege, lavish feasts, fine clothes...if your monarchy is doing well, that is. But there are also struggles that few others would understand, such as life or death decisions that need to be made to protect your kingdom at best and being a mere puppet with no real power at worst. At the very least, you're lonely. Certainly there are people around you at all times to protect and serve you, yet they aren't truly companions. They're no one you can talk to.

Well, not no one. Not completely. There is one person who's allowed close to you. Perhaps they're even allowed to be alone with you. A trusted advisor, a handmaid, a knight, a court jester, whatever they are, their companionship and support may leave you wanting those peaceful moments and lingering glances to mean...more.

And what if you are the other side, someone without royal birth offering your service to your highness? You may have been born into this life, forced into it, or gave yourself to it willingly. It could be much, much worse - at least you and your charge have a good relationship, to the point that you might do anything for them. Have your feelings for them always been more inappropriate than they should, or is this a new feeling? And such feelings - they can't be returned, can they? Or you could see your charge as the human that they are rather than an ideal. Does that mean you can give them the best advice and service you can? And what of their duties to marry and continue their line? Will you step back and let them be bound to another?

Then there are the pressures of the throne. The most innocent could be corrupted by power, and you would be in no position to stop them, no matter how it pained you to see the one you cared for twisted and become a wholly different person.

To allow anything to blossom between the two of you is risky and perhaps even deadly. Not even royalty can put a stay to an execution of someone who's, for all intents and purposes, committed treason by becoming emotionally compromised. All the same, it may be worth it, in the end. Royalty, after all, has a short shelf life, and the head on the spike may be the one wearing the crown.

HOW TO PLAY
 
 Comment with your character and preferences, any relevant info, and what role you'd like to play, royal or not. You might also want to include if you're open to smut.

 Reply to others.

 Let your imagination guide you! Stolen moments, keeping secrets, battle plans, discussions about ruling filled with double meaning, jealousy, learning about arranged marriages, just spending time together, or being able to do nothing as your love turns into an evil queen/king are just a few ideas.

 accidental child acquisition meme

still from Les Miserables

For all your "whoops I guess I have a kid now?" needs. Did you always want to be a parent? Did you swear you'd never ever be a parent? Doesn't matter now.

Possible scenarios include, but are not limited to:

  • Left on your doorstep with a tearjerking note
  • Wandering around unsupervised
  • Entrusted to you by a friend/stranger/enemy
  • Has apparently adopted YOU
  • Product of your past indiscretions
  • Product of your PARENTS' past indiscretions
  • Summoned from another dimension
  • Rescued from a mad scientist's lab

The kid in question can be whatever character tags yours, or you can enlist that character to help you wrangle your new NPC rugrat. Suit yourselves. Have fun!

NESTING
A shipping meme

nesting. noun. the tendency to arrange one's immediate surroundings ... to create a place where one feels secure, comfortable, or in control.

Whether it's a new home, a new partnership, or a new arrival, it takes some time and work to make sure that everything in your life is prepared just right. Of course, your idea of "secure and comfortable" may or may not be the same as your partner's... will the act of setting up your shared spaces bring you closer together, or will it become the thorn in your side?


PROMPTS


1. New Home
You're moving in together! Is this a brand new space to both of you, or are you tasked with making your own home more welcoming for your sweetie? Or maybe you're the one changing your sweetie's home to suit yourself.

2. Newlyweds
Whether it's your first night together or you've been sharing a home for awhile now, getting married comes with a long to-do list when it comes to home and life.

3. Homestead
Setting up your home on the frontier is a lot of backbreaking work, but it's so worth it when you can have everything just the way you want it.

4. Bun in the Oven
A little bundle of joy is on the way! Is the nursery in order and the house babyproofed? Surely you don't need another onesie...

5. Pet Parents
Get the place ready for Fluffy or Spot! You won't believe what teething puppies will chew on.

6. Mating Instinct
The smutty option. Go with the ol' a/b/o trope, or perhaps you just want to make sure the bedroom is absolutely perfect for your significant other.

7. Wildcard
Anything goes!

 THERE'S ONLY ONE BED!


Two characters have to share a room for the night. Every room is occupied, but fortunately there is one last room available.

There's just one problem — there's only one bed, and the characters aren't comfortable sharing it.

   THE SPACE OPERA MEME


Space Opera refers to works set in a spacefaring civilization, usually set in the far future or A Long Time Ago, in a Galaxy Far Far Away.... Technology is ubiquitous and secondary to the story. Space opera has an epic character to it: the universe is big, there are usually many sprawling civilizations and empires, there are political conflicts and intrigue.




PROMPTS


1. Slice of Spacefaring Life
It's life, but on a spaceship! An interstellar journey could take hundreds of years, so you have some time to relax and take it easy. Do a little aeroponic gardening, enjoy stargazing from the bar, or immerse yourself in studying the latest nebula you're passing through.

2. R&R
After being cooped up for days, weeks, or years, you and the crew are finally sliding into the nearest space station, colony, or commercial hub for a little break. Enjoy shopping, restaurants, and resorts!

3. Space Piracy
You're a bit of a rogue, but you like the independent life cruising among the stars and taking whatever you can find.

4. Sleeper Ship
You're on a very long journey, so long that most if not all of the crew have been put on ice for the journey. Whether by accident or design, you're awake - is anyone else up?

5. Emergency!
Something has gone wrong! Your colony is under attack, or maybe the hull of your ship has been blown out by a passing asteroid. Can you repair the warp drive in time?!

6. Arrival
At long last, solid ground! Get out there, you have a new planet and maybe even a new civilization to explore.

7. First Contact
A meeting of species for the first time in history, or perhaps just your first experience running into an alien or a colonist.

8. Intergalactic Bar
Your standard hive of scum and villainy.

9. Space Brothel
Get your xeno on.

10. Wildcard
Anything goes!

 GROW OLD WITH MEME


The ultimate goal of any loving, committed relationship: to grow old with your best friend. But how often do we get the opportunity to write out the golden years of our favorite couples and partnerships? Now is your chance! Whether you start at the beginning of your story or the end, or even somewhere in between, "grow old with me" is the theme.

PROMPTS


1. The Proposal
Whether or not a diamond ring and a marriage is involved, is there anything sweeter than a proposal to spend the rest of your lives together?

2. The Golden Years
After decades of being together, how are you faring? Do you bicker like cats and dogs (but you really do care), or do you still walk hand-in-hand, just as lovesick as you began? What great adventures are you still enjoying together later in your lives?

3. The Parting
Illness and death is just a part of aging, and we all eventually need to say goodbye. Did you make it to the very end, or were you forced to part long before then?

4. Best Friends Forever
Friends can stay together for the rest of their lives, too.

5. Wildcard
Anything goes!

PRAISE KINK DIALOGUE meme

 

A meme where you get to dole out the sweetest affirmation when you're getting down and dirty? Must be all about that praise kink!

how to play
- comment with your character, prefs, what role they'd play (praise-giver/praised), etc. if your character's the type to throw out the positive reinforcement, your one-line starter can go in the top level! (ie, "good pet," you know how it do)
- on the other end of the spectrum, should your big dumb mess want to soak up all that affection, people commenting to you will bring the line of dialogue.
- thread from there. that's it. easy, huh?

CARRY YOU
a shipping meme


It's a no-brainer that physical closeness brings a certain sense of intimacy along with it. Even more than with holding hands or even embracing, though, actually carrying someone is a level above simple closeness. You're providing support - quite literally!

There's many reasons why you might have to hold a person in your arms or on your back like that: they're injured, you're faster and you both have to get away, you're trying to pull a particular spunky individual away from danger, you're teasing them, or you're just having fun. Whatever the reason may be now, you're carrying your significant other, your crush, or somebody you have some kind of feelings for or attraction to.


HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment. Preferences. Etc.
  • Reply to others. RNG.
  • Play out cute, awkward moments, romantic or steamy scenes, or just UST.
PROMPTS

  1. Princess Carry: Aka bride carrying. Keep them safe in your arms, right by your chest.
  2. Piggy Back: You don't have to be a child to enjoy being carried on someone's back.
  3. Delicate: In order to make them feel delicate or hammer in their fragility, you'll scoop them up.
  4. Swoon: You can't help but notice how strong or handsome/beautiful they are when you're this close to them.
  5. Injured: Put that sprained ankle on the mend, whether you want to or not.
  6. Transportation: Let them be your beast of burden.
  7. Tired: They're too tuckered out to walk. Good thing they look so cute and peaceful.
  8. Escape: We have to get out of this place because the ceiling is falling! Or something.
  9. Fun: You're having a good laugh from riding around on them, or you're playing a game like chicken.
  10. Practicality: Work together to get something high up!
  11. Teasing: Ahahahaha, it's funny to see how they freak out when you pick them up. This is totally a legitimate pastime!
  12. For Your Own Good: Come on, you. You're coming with them before you start even more of a brouhaha.
  13. Unexpected: The smaller part of the couple has decided to pluck their larger partner off the ground.
  14. Sexy: Take it to the bedroom...and take them there, too, with a sultry
  15. Particularly Romantic: Maybe it's after a date, after a wedding, or after a near death experience in battle, but this moment of carrying is particularly heartwarming. This is what they mean by "sweeping them off their feet!"
  16. Dragging: ...you're not good at this.

   skinny dipping




When the level on that thermometer climbs up, up, and away, there's only one thing to do — and that's hit the water, of course! Let the cool blue waves lap over your skin. Dive straight into the depths and escape the sun's rays.


Didn't bring a swimsuit, did you? No room in your bag or, maybe, this was a split-second decision to take the plunge? Good news awaits. You don't need a swimsuit where you're going.

Because you're sneaking off to a secret spot, aren't you? ...on the off chance you aren't, the risk could be half the fun.

  • Top level as per usual.
  • Thread as per usual.
  • Respect people's prefs! While this meme could swerve down the ship/smut path if you take it by standard issue, gen is equally welcome!

those three words.


Maybe it's the first time or a routine occurrence. A heartfelt proclamation under the moonlight, or a mumbled admission under your breath. The beginning of something beautiful, or the last chance to say it before the very end. Spoken willingly, or compelled in some way. Romantic or not. There are probably a million and one ways to say it, but the point of this meme is one simple phrase:
"I love you."

tl;dr: Have your character tell someone they love them! Post a top-level comment with your character, ideally including your preferences and maybe a little blurb about them for the canonblind. Tag around. Good times had by all, hopefully.

   the hooker au meme.

CONTENT WARNING for prostitutioncrimedub- to non-conkink.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1 - Post a comment with your character's name and canon. BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR PREFERENCES, including which role you'd like, what in particular you're interested in playing, etc.
2 - Comment around to others and play threads!
3 - Use Random.Org if you get stuck for ideas.

WHERE: Where do you look for business?

1 - STREET - You wait on the sidewalk, wink at the passing cars, dress yourself in revealing clothing and garish makeup. You don't cost much. Maybe you're desperate, or in debt, or your life fell apart. Maybe you're independent; maybe you have a pimp, and a quota to fill. Either way, you have to work hard for your living.

2 - HOUSE OF PLEASURE - It's a good life, isn't it? You have a place to stay, a roof over your head. You don't even have to leave the House -- or perhaps you're not allowed to. You could have a good madame, or a harsh one; maybe you can pick your clientele, even. If you cater to a certain odd set of tastes, though, you might not have a choice at all.

3 - TEMPLE - It is an act of worship, for you. Of piety. Sex is about fertility, the giving and receiving of energy, a sacred act. When you bed another, it is for the benefit of you both.

4 - IN PRIVATE - You're a call girl. An escort. You go to parties; you know how to speak the language of the rich and famous. You dress well, act confident, and know how to get what you want. You're a valuable companion, and they better be prepared to pay dearly for you, tonight.

5 - OTHER - For anything else you can think of!

WHY: Why are you hiring this particular person?

1 - CURIOSITY. Maybe you're bored, or you have a little extra money to spend, and you're up for a little experimentation.

2 - SECRETS. You need discretion; no one can know that you're cheating on your wife. Money is a good way to keep the both of you quiet.

3 - NEED. There's a desire you have that you can't satisfy any other way. Maybe it's your sexual orientation that you don't want anyone to know. Maybe it's something darker.

4 - THEY MADE ME DO IT. Some well-meaning friends, or business partners, have hired you a hooker for the evening. Better make the most of it.

5 - JUST THE SEX. You don't want the hassle of a relationship. You get your needs taken care of, and that's it.

6 - OTHER. For anything else you can think of!

Pet names. Love 'em. Hate 'em. Whether they send you swooning or get your eyeballs rolling, they own at least a little charm. Sometimes, with the right combo of words, we just can’t get enough!

Does your character have an alias for that special someone in their life? Don’t worry, you can tell us. And the character that affectionate nickname belongs to.

 For the top level folks: DO NOT LEAVE YOUR COMMENT BLANK. After you set up your name/canon/preference header, go into the comment and fill us in on what pet name would be your character's go-to. Gun to their head, if that's the necessary provision.

 For the reply folks: their character just called your character...that. You read it. That. Go nuts.

   leave a mark



On purpose. By accident. In the heat of the moment. Whatever the parameters, you're going to leave a mark on your partner — your own little flag in the rubble that's their body. One small step for mankind...

Is it at least in some place that they can cover up? Oh. Ooooh. If it's not, if it's all out in the open, that could be a thing for you. The conspicuousness works; it's key. Location, location.

Good for you!

  THE STRIPTEASE MEME


Whether you're with a shy, innocent flower who's hesitant to show off their body, someone who wants to get you all fired up because they're contrary, or a sexpot with no qualms, you're about to get a show when they take their clothes off. Or maybe you just walked in on someone undressing. Whatever works. Play your cards right, and you may get to touch instead of just look.

  • Comment with your character, preference, and whether they're the one taking their clothes off or the one watching! Be sure to include as much information as you'd like and that makes you easier to tag - ie, is your character experienced in this? Are they intending to give a show? So on and so forth.

 DIRTY NAMES
 

They know exactly what they're doing. Turning you on like that. Teasing you. A hand here; breath on you neck, there, and there. Rev that engine. But you can't let their "good" deeds go unpunished, can you? Turn the tables on them: whisper that name, the one you've reserved for them alone.

Baby. Sweetie. Daddy. Brat. Darlin'. Princess/queen/king. If you want to dirty that cute little tongue of yours, you can slip in the whores. The sluts. What better complements those looks that sear into you and hands that can land anywhere? Your vocabulary is only limited by your...imagination.

Possibly your libido, too.

HOW TO PLAY

- Do the top level thing, but do not blank out. Instead, leave a filthy name your character would call their lover when they're doin' the do. As you do.
- Others will answer to that? If it's sexy, at least. Otherwise, it's just awkward.
- Don't be awkward.
- If you want to be, however, you can!

  The Changed by Love You Meme


"Finding someone without life's scars is a luxury that shouldn't be granted to anyone, love the scars and do everything possible to not create new ones, but if you do...that’s okay, broken paintings are also bought in galleries."

We want to believe that we're more than just specks of insignificant dust in this universe, and it's a hope we nurture from our beginnings of consciousness. However, sometimes it doesn't seem that way - everything we try can fall flat. But two heads are better than one, they say, and the bonds between people are what can make us more than we are. The right relationship - the right emotions, feelings, love - can bring you up from the darkness.

"Evil" characters being healed by those who are "good" are "pure" has always been a literary guilty pleasure, much to the chagrin of many. Still, that has its appeal, and you can explore that in this meme. There are other ways a relationship can change someone, though. Someone uninterested in love can blossom for the right person, an introvert become more outgoing, an impulsive person learning to become patient. Yet caring for someone or being attracted to them won't always change you for the better. You could be corrupted or worsened by a force that should be edifying you. Your feelings don't have to be returned, either, so one party may come out worse for the wear. Whatever the case may be, characters here are about to see their worlds changed by another.

How to Play:

( reply with your characters and preferences. if you'd like, you can include a sentence or even a few words about your character. you can also indicate if you'd like your character to be the one changed or the one doing the changing. )
( comment to others. )

Changed:

1. For the Better. ( evil being purified by good, to whatever degree possible. )
1. For the Worse. ( good corrupted by evil. )
3. More Kind. ( warmth. )
4. More Open. ( whether that means more willing to share or more open-minded. )
5. More Outgoing.
6. More Confident.
7. More Patient.
8. More Grateful.
9. More Angry.

the gentle lovemaking for everyone meme

This may be the only way you know how to do it. But you could actually never do it this way; this is the first time you aren't ridiculously rough. Or it could be the first time, period. You're scared of hurting them. You're scared of them hurting you. You want to escape from the world falling down around you. You want to celebrate victory. You have to say hello. You need to say goodbye. You have to say "I love you" when you can't find words. You want to teach them that this is okay. You're broken and you need them to fix you.

What you want to do is take your partner - take them slowly, take them lovingly. Who you are, what you've done, and what you're like outside this moment doesn't matter. You want to love them and do so gently, with kisses and gazes and the release that brings you the closest together you've ever been.

You need this.

P R O M P T S

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

   THE HEAD PATTING MEME



You want to show some affection to or calm down your significant other, crush, person who has a crush on you, smaller friend, random cute person, or random cute younger person, but the regular shows of emotion like hugs or kisses just won't do. So reach out, push their hair back, and give them a pat on the head. Which, by the way, can be surprisingly comforting when done the right way, I.E., not awkwardly. Or maybe you're the one getting the head pat. Are you embarrassed? Freaking out because ohmigosh they noticed you? Calmed from your freakout? Enjoying the gesture from your significant other? ...just don't punch them if you don't like it. They're trying.

the s c a r s meme


Most everyone has some sort of scar. Some are from happy accidents. Some are from events you'd rather not speak about. Sometimes, people can share a moment over scars: Be it friendly, romantic, or even with a complete stranger. These are those moments.

01. NEW: the scar is fairly new--  maybe you still need to do something to make sure it heals properly. maybe you're just worried about the new scar that's appeared on someone you care about.

02. DISCOVERY: you've just had someone find out about your scars, or you've just accidentally learned that the other person has scars. do you say something, or let the moment pass?

03. SHAME: maybe you're ashamed of your scars. maybe you want someone else to know that there's no need to hide their scars around you.

04. SHOW: you're proud of your scars, or at least you don't see a reason to keep them covered-- never have, or not anymore. or maybe someone is showing you their scars for the first time.

05. STORY: it's time to talk about the story behind your scars. or, perhaps, it's time to listen to someone tell you about how they came about their scars.

06. TOUCH: maybe you want someone to touch your scars so you can remind yourself you're still here. maybe you want to touch their scars because you want to show them you don't mind them.

07. ATTRACTION: you've heard that people like someone with scars, so you're flaunting them, or you're the person very attracted to someone with scars. 

08. KISS: letting this person kiss your scars may be a moment of extreme vulnerability, or just something you like. kissing someone else's scars may be just what you need to do to show someone how much you care. 

09. SOULMATE: you live in a world where your soulmate's scars appear on your own skin. what's that like?

10. OTHER: wildcard option.

the ( one thing i like about you ) meme

You've known this person forever. Wait. Reverse that. Scratch it out. You've never met this man in your life. No matter what the case may be, you've still got one little niggle in that brainpan of yours while they're standing in front of you.

You have to say, out loud, the one thing you find intrinsically, insanely attractive about them. Physically. Mentally. Randomly. After being familiar with them your whole life. After meeting them two seconds ago. You have to bear this burden. What's better (or worse)? They have to do the same in return. The two of you, stuck in this tango, must continue until someone breaks the curse, all secrets are revealed, you go insane, or kiss.

All of those options all at once is also accepted.

THE [SEDUCTION] MEME
Post with your character, series and smut preferences (if any), others will use RNG to pick a genre and prompt. When replying, make sure you also state if you'd rather be the seducer or seduced! Blank comments will assume you don't mind.

VANILLA ]

1. Booty Rock - You are an exotic dancer, determined to earn the affection (and cash) of the customer.
2. Date Night - You've both been married for years. Curled up on the sofa, you realise that you're in the mood for a little fun.
3. Hopeless Romantic - You suck at seduction. Fortunately, the seduced thinks it's totally adorable.
4. Sexual MacGuyver - Seduction involves a prop that is not a sex toy, e.g: lollipops, bananas, tights, etc.
5. Gentle Persuasion - You're trying to get your partner to try something new.
6. Power Switch - The seduced is in a position of occupational authority (police officer, judge, teacher, boss etc.)
7. Battlefield - Your seduction takes place in some kind of war, either pre or post-apocalyptic.
8. Hush - There are others around! Your seduction has to be quiet.

 Enemies to Lovers


Most of us are fortunate enough to not be plagued by "natural enemies" - or even worst, a group that serves as an opposing force. But that doesn't mean that there isn't swaths of society that just do not play well together. Hunters and demons. Predators and prey. Outlaws and lawmen. Vampires and slayers. Montagues and Capulets. The undead and the living. The list goes on. You know, the usual and the unusual alike. It seems like wars will always rage between them. Maybe it's better for these types to just avoid each other, lest there be bloodshed.

What if, though, you - yes, you - were a member of one group and you developed feelings for someone that should be a mortal enemy. Of course, the feelings weren't the expected ones of wanting to gouge eyeballs out; instead, it was love, and a returned one at that. That would be quite the predicament, wouldn't it? But what would it be like? What drew you to them? Would your love be a pure, romantic one, or more of a love/hate? And would you allow that to sway you or repress all those emotions until you burst?

Most importantly, would a happy ending be possible?

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character and preferences, plus any information because this meme needs at least a little! People are going to want to know who their character should "hate."
  • Tag others.
  • RNG or choose what kind of relationship you're playing from ROUTE and the tone of the eventual ending, which will theoretically color the thread.
  • Play! Play out anything that strikes your fancy. Draw inspiration from the meme or come up with your own ideas.
ROUTE

  • ROMANTIC LOVE: Despite who they are, you care for them. Whether this means you'll ignore outside influence, fight your own demons to be with them, run away with them, or change the system depends on you.
  • LOVE/HATE: You despise them and all the stand for, but you can't keep away.
END

  • HAPPY: No matter how bad life is, it will take a turn for the better.
  • TRAGEDY: It may be good now, but eventually, everything is going to fall apart right in front of you.

  Companion to Royalty Meme



There's one truth you must know of royalty: though power may lay in their hands, the crown is a cage. Whether you've always been noble, came into this position recently by complete surprise, or a simple person caught in the fray, you're realizing that leaders actually 
lead very little - even down to choosing who they spend their most intimate moments with. From eternal bonds of matrimonies to the distractions provided by courtesans, the people behind the throne make the rules. They cannot risk losing control of their most elevated and strategically placed pawn with a match gone wrong, which could create a domino effect and doom possibly thousands.

So, what part do you play in this game?

  • Lifetime Royal: This is what you've been raised to do.
  • Sudden Royal: You just learned of your position, which has been secret from you your entire life, or you unexpectedly inherited the job.
  • Spouse: You're to be married to nobility.
  • Concubine or Courtesan: For the royal, you're to be a sexual diversion.
  • Unaffiliated: You're either a lower-ranking noble or a peasant, but you're free from all the machinations of the shadowy cabal...for now.
How willing are you?

  • Completely Willing: Either you love the person you know you'll be matched with, or you're excited about the possibilities.
  • Wary: There's no choice in the matter for you, so you may as well approach this situation cautiously.
  • Unwilling: You didn't want to be matched up with someone. At all. Ever.
What path will you follow, once you're set upon it (there is, after all, little choice for the chosen ones)?

  1. Prepared for This: Either you're a royal and have been one since birth, or you knew you'd marry or sexually entertain one.
  2. Make Up for Lost Time: This life wasn't the one you lived until now, but times change. You're important or will be a companion to a very important person, like it or not.
  3. A Sacrificial Token: Somewhere along the line, your people royally pissed off someone in a key position. So, in an attempt to smooth out relations, you've been given away as a gift to the highest power, either as a spouse for a political alliance or as a concubine or courtesan.
  4. Pomp and Circumstance: All proper, this arrangement. You're to be married, as you've been promised to each other by your respective families. Consummation on the wedding night is key. Perhaps it's encouraged that the two of you act as if this is really a love match, to add insult to injury.
  5. Genuine Love: Speaking of love matches, congratulations! You're one of the incredible few who gets to marry for love, so your lovemaking should be all the more enthused.
  6. Only a Plaything: Heavy is the head who wears the crown, so you're expected to take on some side entertainment even if that's not your preference. Or you could be the courtesan...such a pretty, perfumed word for what the role really is...
  7. Volunteered: You wanted this position, either of spouse or concubine. Your reasons are your own.
  8. Cruel: You're powerful. You can do what you want to this person, a mere ant in comparison to you.
  9. Forbidden: Even the most powerful can't have everything they want, such as someone who's promised to or with another; taking them for your own would create strife and destroy alliances, even to the point of tempting war.
  10. Work Your Way Up: There's always a right tool for the job and you find no shame in using your own special tools to better your life.
  11. Give Me an Heir: Whether you're legitimate or a concubine used as a surrogate, you must help in continuing the royal line.
  12. Mutual Benefit: Both of you are comfortable with this arrangement because you're either compatible or it takes the pressure off of you otherwise.
  13. Want to be More: Though you've been relegated to courtesan, you want to be there one and only spouse...no matter if that role is already filled or not.
  14. Growing Affection: It may have started as all puppet strings and power plays, but now, you lo- care for them.
  15. Loved Before: Before you became so important and powerful, before you became the focus of all the world, it seems, they were there with you. They were with you then, and you want them to be with you now. They ground you and they care about you for you.
  16. Because You're Normal: They're outside of all the court's nonsense, and that's appealing to you. It's like a breath of fresh air.

 ways to show affection


When it comes to the way affection is shown, everyone has a different way they go about it. That means that there's a pretty good chance, with regards to couples, you could end up with two people who have two varying approaches towards how they prove they care...sometimes radically varying, which can lead to more than a little confusion or hurt feelings if there's not proper communication. But when both people are on the same page, they can tell each other how they feel with few words.
☄ Comment with your character, info, prefs, and how your character will likely show affection.
☄ Reply to others.
☄ Thread, my dears!

☆ WORDS: Sweet affirmations, pet names, even
☆ CUDDLES: Hugs, nuzzles, the works.
☆ KISSING: On the check or on the lips.
☆ KINDNESS: Always there for them.
☆ PROVIDING: Providing care, providing protection, providing financially.
☆ GENTLE...ER: Your only weak spot.
☆ MEANNESS: Straight up tsundere.
☆ GIFTS: All the pretty things.
☆ ACTIONS: Visits, taking care of their problems, taking them out, and more.
☆ SUBTLE: A distant sort of affection, but they know.

the forbidden love between servant and master meme 

These days, it's uncommon to have a servant. The wealthy have them, of course, but some of them even eschew that to have a sort of pride in being self-sufficient. Rarer still are the personal servants, the ones bound to just one person and taking care of their every need. They make sure their master or mistress is dressed, fed, and all their affairs are in order. They may double as a bodyguard or personal assistant in other functions, as well. This type of servant was much more common back in the day.

But today, you have one. You've always had one. Or may, you are one, loyal to your employer to the core.

Perhaps you're more of a vassal than a servant, then. You serve because of duty and love; you've been raised to know this your duty for your entire life. Your family has been tied to this family for generations.You could have even been summoned by magic, your whole purpose to serve.

And even if you're not a "true" servant in the sense of the word, there's always people who look out for others. You know the person in the group of friends. They seem bound to the hip to that one specific person, usually someone who actually does need the help, and acts as a mother hen to them. Yes, you're that person.

It all sounds simple enough, then. The problem? The relationship between master and servant has been blurred, and the feelings and bonds here have grown more than they should. The servant doesn't just love the master, they love the master. And it's not that much of a stretch to think that the gesture is reciprocated. But this is an ultimate taboo. Power differences, societal expectations, and conflicts of interest mean that there's a whole mess that can be made. If that line hasn't been crossed yet, keep dancing it. Try to back off, if you can. Do not cross the line. Do not become...more.

If more has come, you are in danger. Will it interfere with the ability of the servant to serve? Will they envy all those in higher stations who can get close to their master? And what about the nature of their relationship being exposed? Others will not be as kind, and there could even be punishment ahead should the wrong eyes fall upon the truth. After all, a servant and a master have been so close, in close quarters. There is no knowing what could have happened.

HOW:

- Comment with your character and preferences.
- Mention if you'd like your character to be a servant/vassal or otherwise.
- Tag others.
- Thread out forbidden affairs and one character taking care of the other.

the "first relationship" meme

  • As a young person, you haven't had many opportunities yet. But these few years will be full of new experiences - including this, your first relationship! Those jitters are normal, you know; you just want this person to like...no, love you. Hopefully, you've had good influences and examples of relationships in your life.
  • Why settle down when you can taste the whole buffet? You've never felt the need to stop your love-em-and-leave-em attitude...until now, that is. You're finally wanting to commit to one person; that, of course, is easier said than done.
  • Love is for fools. You've always had bigger goals: revenge, world domination, or becoming the best their ever was. But something snuck up on you - or rather, someone - and you're feeling more like a fool in love. Somehow, a relationship is harder than your lofty ambitions.
  1. It's your character's first relationship! And things are probably going to be awkward as you try to get comfortable with each other.
  2. Comment with your character and preferences. Mention your comfort level, ie "make outs are okay, smut isn't" etc.

No thoughts, just hair scritches.

1. 'Tis The Season!

2. Happy Birthday!
→ Another year older! Is it their sweet sixteenth? The no-holds-barred-finally-legal 21? Or that stately eighty candles that might set the cake on fire...

3. Sweet Valentine
→ Not that you need a commercialized excuse to butter up your sweetheart, but if the heart-decorated chocolate truffle fits...

4. Anniversary
→ You didn't forget this year! But seeing as how it only comes once a year, you'd better make it fantastic or you'll be sleeping on the couch... again :(

5. Wedding Bells

6. Housewarming
→ Those new neighbors of yours are still getting settled. Why not give them something to welcome them to the neighborhood?

8. Get Well Soon!
→ Someone's stuck in the hospital and you just know that a gift will put a smile back on their face.

→ They have to leave and you can't go with them, but you'll wait until they return. Give them something to remind them of you while they're far away.

10. I Miss You!
Has it been a week? A year? However long they've been away, you want them to know you're still thinking of them.

11. I'm So Sorry
→ You've screwed up big time and apologies just don't feel good enough, but you'll give them a token of your sincerity.

12. You're Appreciated!
→ There's just no one else like that person! You know everything they've done for you and others and you to show your appreciation.

13. Glorious Victory!

14. Secret Admirer~

15. Wildcard
→ Anything else, go crazy with it.

  Superhero Relationships Meme


Whether you're a superhero, self-made vigilante, super villain, or Oracle-esque commander, you're going to have some interesting interpersonal relationships. Whether it's between yourself and a civilian or yourself and another Super-- or worse, yourself and the law-- it's going to be a doozy.

FEEL FREE TO ALTER THESE PROMPTS TO YOUR NEEDS.
Relationships don't necessarily have to be romantic to work in this context.

DYNAMICS:

Super (hero? villain?) vs Civilian: Maybe they're your best friend, or maybe they're the object of your affections-- but they're still in danger if your nemesis finds out!

Super vs Super: Things should be a little easier, right? You're superfriends, right!? Do you know each other's identities, or is this friendship/partnership strictly business?

Opposing Sides: Whether you're good versus evil or Vigilante versus the Law, this situation is a bit... stickier. Can your feelings of compassion cross the boundaries or is this a "fuck it, let's hatemance" situation?



RELATIONSHIP IDEAS:

DOMESTIC: Whatever the difficulties are, somehow you and your partner have made things work. Maybe no one bothers your best friend, or you and your love live happily ever after and you come home after the daily grind. Maybe you and your opposing-side partner enjoy working against each other and coming home to share the same bed. What the hell ever. It's your household, homies.

EARLY STAGES: You are just an idiot with a crush. Maybe you're an idiot with a crush on a superhero. Maybe you're a super idiot with a crush on a civilian idiot. Basically, you're gross and embarrassing and belong on a High School Musical TV Show.

FULL SWING: Alright, Clark and Lois-- maybe you're not domestic, but this romance (bromance?) is in full bloom. No longer in your puppy love stages, you're now at least Spider-Man and Gwen Stacy calibre.

RELUCTANT: You tsundere pieces of shit. Whatever. You don't like this whole communication deal-- but you can't let this person you like get in trouble, can you?

PROMPTS:

SAVE THE PRINCESS: You heard me. That kid you've got your eye on went and got themselves in trouble, and you just can't let that fly. Whether it's because they're the love of your life or because you're going to be the one to take them down, you've gotta pull a rescue mission, stat.

BRAIN DRAIN: That episode of every superhero cartoon where the closest person you've got is suddenly brainwashed to be evil? That's your life now. Have fun pulling them back from the brink.

HURT ON THE JOB: Maybe you don't have to pull a rescue, but that person is now in your care. Or maybe it's the super who's in need of a bit of TLC this time...

FAKED A DEATH: Every superhero plotline has one. Someone's gotta fake their death, even to their most important person. Now you have the chance to reveal you're alive-- but at what cost?

EVERY TIME?: Not a single date, hangout, or playtime goes undisturbed. Your favourite super is a tardy son of a bitch, and you're tired of plans being cancelled.

TEAM PLAYER: This person? You've got it bad for them. You've got it so bad-- but you can't tell them that. You've gotta keep it under wraps, because you're both playing for the same Super Team, and you can't upset the balance.

ONE TRUE NEMESIS: So, what if you never knew the identity of that rival of yours? Aaand what if one day you found out that rival... was actually the "civilian" you were close to? Definitely not a conversation for the thanksgiving table.

   The Court of Night Blooming Flowers

The Night Court is the casual name for the 13 houses of Mont Nuit in the City of Elua
where the Servants of Naamah worship and ply thier trade.
Elua's blessed principle is 'Love as thou wilt' but love can take many forms.
These houses see to each and every shade and color of Elua's principle.
Pay a house fee and take your pick, but remember to leave a patron gift if you have been well pleased by Naamah's gifts.

How it Works

1. Comment with your character/s. Put their name and canon along with preferences in the subject space.
2. Others will tag with their character and the house they have chosen from the list.
3. Your character can either be visiting the house or working as one of Naamah's servants.
4. Play nice! Or naughtily, if you happen to be in Valerian or Mandrake house.

The 13 houses are essentially brothels, although religiously affiliated ones, so sexual situations are to be expected. Also some houses lend themselves to more triggering fare so please be respectful of each other and talk it out with your RP partner if there are problems with a scenario.

If you’re having trouble with a scenario might we suggest:

The Midwinter Masque

On the Longest Night Cereus House hosts the Midwinter Masque, an elite and private function that all the houses attend in grand costume. The guests of the house are those chosen by each house's Dowaynes and of the highest status. Royalty, political leaders, high ranking officials. All of these are likely to attend and on the Longest Night no coin is exchanged. It is a night of revelry and gaiety spurred on by the evening's drink of choice. Joie a clear, potent liquor made from a rare and exquisite white flower served in small crystalline glasses by the youths of the House. And as our own Longest Night approaches we highly suggest taking the opportunity to play with that setting!

If you'd like to play by the rules of the Masque, please make note of it in your post!

The 13 Houses of the Night Court

(After some houses shall be the theme their house dressed in at the Masque in the first book for you to use as inspiration!)

1. Alyssum- The House canon is modesty. Their motto is "with eyes averted", and the servants here are well suited to acting shy, modest, and slightly uncomfortable with their own desires.

the tinder meme

Maybe you can't find a date. Maybe you don't want to find a date. Maybe this whole thing was set up by your well-meaning friends, or your prank-playing enemies, or your over-involved mother.

Whatever the reason, you're on a swipe-based dating system. Call it tinder, cuddlr, e-harmony but for shallow assholes... you're on it.

What's the worst that could happen?

MAY/DECEMBER ROMANCE


A May-December romance is any where there is a larger than average age difference between the partners involved. Sometimes this is met with disapproval, sometimes it is arranged, sometimes it is abuse of power, and other times it just happens and it's no one's fault or doing. This meme focuses on those relationships.

- Post with your character, preferences, and note their ages (or an estimate if no canon age is given).
- Please don't forget to note how much of an age gap you're comfortable with!
- Look around, tag. Have fun! Make up a scenario or make use of the prompts below.


beginning

1. confession - you've just confessed your love. How is it received?
2. coerced - they have more power than you and you have no choice but to go along.
3. arranged - this was an arranged union and may not have had anything to do with your choosing at all.
4. secret - it would be forbidden or frowned upon, but you can't resist...

middle

1. difference - does the age difference make things difficult?
2. domesticity - just a day in the life...
3. experience - one of you has more experience than the other, but at least they're eager to teach.
4. argument - you're fighting for one reason or another.

end

1. breakup - things aren't working.
2. discovered - your forbidden secret has been found out and judged.
3. another - one of you has fallen in love with another.
4. happily ever after - against all odds, you've made it work.
