meme; monster

[metropolising]

 

the monster meme Darkness falls across the land; the midnight hour is close at hand... And whosoever shall be found Without the soul for getting down Must stand and face the hounds of hell And rot inside a corpse's shell Michael Jackson's Thriller Who doesn't love a good monster? How you go about this meme is entirely up to you. Your character can go full on beast mode, or we can see a vampire who looks as normal as you or me. Looks can be whatever, so don't feel as if you have to follow the classic tropes [unless you want to]! Mix-and-match prompts, roll the dice, create a totally new monsterized version of your character, and live your best October life. — comment with your character + prefs + what kind of monster you'd like to see your character turn into. —cause chaos.

Whenever...

1. the full moon rises,


2. the clock strikes midnight,


3. that time of the month begins,


4. you lose control of your emotions,


5. you see someone in danger,


6. you want it to happen,


7. you find yourself acting selfishly,


8. some trigger that you decide comes to fruition,

 

you turn into a(n)...

1. werewolf, complete with shedding fur and pack dynamics, if that's your thing.


2. vampire, which makes looking in the mirror to get ready for the day impossible.


3. kelpie, a fan favorite for all the former horse girls out there.


4. ghost, and it this new social media trend of being 'ghosted' has got nothing on the real thing.


5. merperson, and you're really tired of hearing fish puns.


6. fae, with Tinkerbell representing your entire species.


7. alien, or something equally out of this world.


8. dryad, and everyone loves a cool, nature-based creature!


9. naga, and, no, snake-charming will not work on you.


10. angel, with a halo that stays on mostly straight.


11. kraken, which isn't the death sentence it used to be given how many people love their tentacle creatures.


12. arachne, which is it's own kind of nightmare for those who fear spiders.


13. demon, and you don't spend as much time hanging around on strangers' shoulders as people think.


14. a different creature, and that only makes life harder for you.

This has been the case ever since...

1. you were a child.


2. you turned eighteen.


3. you disobeyed that one golden rule.


4. you were bitten by that creature.


5. you were cursed.


6. today. Ever since today. This is some new shit.


7. you were killed and brought back to life in this new form.


8. this was foretold in a vision.


9. you have no idea; this just sort of happened.


10. you discovered that you're the chosen one.


11. some other AU backstory you feel like dreaming up.

 

And, to make matters worse,

1. transformation is an incredibly difficult/painful/awkward process.


2. you have a taste for human flesh/blood.


3. this is the first time that anything like this has ever happened, and you're so confused and concerned!


4. the wrong person has spotted you in this monstrous form.


5. you've fallen in love with a human.


6. you've fallen in love with a rival monster species.


7. you're stuck this way until true love's kiss breaks the spell.


8. you're stuck this way until you learn how to be a good person.


9. a new monster superpower is making life difficult for you.


10. you're having trouble blending in.


11. you can only come out at night/during the day.


12. you have to fulfill someone's wish in order to change back into a human.


13. certain foods make you extremely ill.


14. you're horny, but monstrously so.


15. you're having trouble controlling your monstrous inclinations.


16. some different sort of trouble.
