8. RESCUED. You've just been held captive and/or tortured for however long and finally, someone has come to the rescue.

14. INSOMNIA. You can't sleep anymore, no matter how hard you try. Maybe someone can give you company.
15. NIGHTMARES. Or, on the other end of the spectrum, you can't sleep without gruesome, horrible nightmares. Either someone is stuck in your dream with you, witnessing it or they're just waking you up, soothing you out of it.

21. SECRET. It's difficult having to keep that secret of yours, be it a relationship or something you just don't want to share with anybody else. Maybe it's okay to talk about it now though...
22. ADDITION. Babies should be joyous things unless you're in a situation where you know you won't be able to care for them. Either you've adopted or found out you're pregnant.
23. WILDCARD. Just as it says, make your own!

  TOUCH MEME



From birth, human beings are wired to touch and to be touched. Whether it's a warm embrace or a reassuring hand on the shoulder, touch is an integral part of human interaction and creating bonds. Not all forms of touch are created equal however. Some are gentle and uplifting while others can be discouraging or even harmful, so one should always be mindful of the unspoken messages they intend to convey to those around them.

So you're in this fancy restaurant, seated at a table and waiting for your date. You wait. And you wait. Eventually it becomes obvious that your date isn't showing! Luckily for you, however, someone's noticed the way you keep looking around or checking your phone. They know you're waiting in vain.

Maybe your night isn't as bad as it seems to be turning out, because they're approaching you.

Rules:

1: Post a top level comment. You're the one who's been stood up.
2: Tag other top level comments; you've noticed someone has been stood up by their date and you've decided to engage them in conversation.
3: Profit.

Will you meet someone better than your original date? Will you be made fun of for getting stood up? Who knows.

THE HICKEY MEME



You know what this is about. Whether you’re a teen with your first crush or someone older who appreciates a good make out session, you feel the urge to leave a mark. Or you get marked up! Surely no one will ask what happened.

HOW TO PLAY

- Comment with your info, prefs, and etc!
- Reply to others.
- Go the shipping route of having your character have/leave the hickey. Go the gen route and maybe a friend/stranger is razzing you about your bruises and bite marks! Either or.

You've known each other for a while now. Maybe things haven't been perfect or maybe everything's been perfect, but there's an ache you can't shake and a question that's been weighing on your mind. You sit them down, corner them, scream at their departing form, or send a capslocked text asking / demanding / begging to know:

Why aren't we dating?

How to play:

• Comment with your character, preferences, etc.
• Responding characters will tell your character why they aren’t dating.
• Be heartbroken, argue, change their mind.

ANIMAL PEOPLE SOCIETY
an inexcusable smut meme

In a world not unlike our own (or in the past, or the future, or with magic), people...aren't just people. Somehow the species have been put in a blender - human civilization, certain animal traits and urges - and now, we're in for some fun. But at least society's managed this walk on the wild side pretty well so far. Admittedly, there's some tension between carnivore types and their herbivore fellow citizens (whether a lamb can be safe around a wolf with active meat-eating instincts is up for debate), though no place is perfect, right? There's harmony for the most part since everyone decided to shirk their more primitive instincts to live decently. Usually.

Except when matters of mating come onto the scene, of course.

Need I say more? Mostly, this serves as a shameless excuse to throw concepts like Beastars in with well-loved tropes like animal ears/tails, a/b/o, pet people, heat and rut, werewolfery, etc. And if I have to explain why I want to see characters like Geralt with wolf ears or Thor with a golden retriever tail, I won't apologize when I say it speaks for itself.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character and preferences. Tell us what 'species' your character is, too!

  • Include what you're interested and not interested in.

  • Respond to others using these prompts I've stolen from other memes + a few originals.
PROMPTS

  1. animal features focus: Less a prompt and more of an add-in to others, this option features heavy emphasis on animal characteristics like ears, tail, fur, scales, and teeth. Scritch-scratch. Forget the conventional, embrace unusual erogenous pinpoints.

  2. first heat: Baby's first heat. YOU'RE A TEENAGER/LATE BLOOMER AND WHAT IS THIS?

  3. old hand: You've done this a million times, but it never gets any easier.

  4. happen to be here: You're not picky. You can't afford to be. You'll take anybody who's nearby.

  5. old faithful: You're going to the person you always go to in order to relieve your problem.

  6. worked something out: The two of you aren't involved. You just help each other out.

  7. unexpected: You never expected to rut with this person, but here you are.

  8. cross-species: Whether it be the socially acceptable carnivore/carnivore and herbivore/herbivore option or the taboo carnivore/herbivore combination.

  9. knotting: I said what I said.

  10. unusual genitalia: I said what I said, part 2.

  11. instincts: A leopard can't change its spots, nor can other speices avoid their bases desires. Like doggy style. Or eating their mate once they're finished.

  12. volunteer: You've offered yourself up out of the kindness of your heart.

  13. tribute: This isn't your offer. You're the offer from others, a gift for someone powerful to sate their appetite.

  14. mating: You've decided to go one step further and make your relationship deeper.

  15. nesting: Aaah, (temporary) domestic bliss. And lots of fucking. Lots and lots of fucking. Like, you'll barely be able to stand.

  16. rough: What it says on the tin. I wanna fuck you like an animal.

  17. romantic: You and me baby ain't nothing but animals...so we can still feel the love tonight.

  18. bonding: The bond, which is mildly psychic and intensely physical, makes sex even more intense.

  19. the natural conclusion: Heat calls for pregnancy. Get someone pregnant.

  20. already pregnant: Unfortunately, being knocked up doesn't abate your partner's desires. Or yours.

  21. mates for life: Now you're absolutely certain that you want to be with no one else. Of course, this means you'll be in synch with their heat for the rest of forever.

  22. save you: You've been saved from the advances of an undesired mate by someone who may be much more suited. Show your gratitude?

  23. cockfight: Two people want the same mate. That won't do. There are ways to figure that out, not always involving fists.

  24. increase in dominance: Exactly what it says.

  25. increase in submission: Again, exactly what it says.

  26. unexpected dominance: No one expects you to ever be dominant. Prove them wrong.

  27. protect: You want to protect your mate from others, and that means putting your scent all over them.

  28. set off by someone else: You were doing fine until you got a whiff of someone else's pheromones.

  29. resisting temptation: Your heart belongs to someone. You want to stay out of this "heat" thing. You want to rise above it. Whatever it may be, you just have to not take the bait. Easier said than done.

  30. all worked up: You're beginning to lose control and yourself. Quick, do something before you're jumping anything that moves.

  31. pack: As mentioned prior, some people, especially those far out from civilization proper, have formed packs that hold to the more traditional alpha structure. Of course, these packs come with their own rules when it comes to heat and mating.

  32. suitable partner: The desire for certain mates can come from a subconscious level, and you can find yourself aroused by someone showing how strong they are (they can protect you), how curvaceous they look (that must mean they're fertile), or any other number of traits that can benefit you. And now that you've found The One, you'll show off your own stuff. aka the presenting option.

  33. desperation: You'll take anyone! Anything!

  34. final release: You've reached your breaking point and your mindless. At least you'll get relief.

  35. fighter: Part of your process is seeing who's worthy of you by testing their mettle. That, or you want to fight anything.

  36. noncon: They don't want this. You don't want to stop this.

  37. dubcon: You say no, but your body says yes and you can't stop loving it.

  38. calm you down: Whether it's to fuck or to fight, you're going mad, and they have to bring you back down to Earth.

  39. territorial: How dare someone look at what belongs to you? You'll have to make things right.

Supernatural creatures have needs. Humans have needs. Sometimes, the best way to fulfil those needs is to fulfil someone else's.

A) Post your character to the meme, noting if they are an employee or client (or open to both).

B) Put a note on there with the sorts of services they want or can provide (be they cute, useful, erotic, whatever you want) and the associated cost. Don't be afraid to AU, if you want to play a vampire just make a character a vampire.

FAKE CONFESSION MEME

Not every confession comes straight from the heart.

how it works.

▴ For reasons as myriad as cruel manipulation, a prank, an attempt to destroy another person's spirit, all the way to being forced to speak the words, your character has to make a confession (or receive one) that they don't really mean.
▴ Slip on in with your prefs + info, et al.
▴ Thread!
▸ ...maybe the confession was genuine after all? Let's be optimistic, even if the circumstances aren't ideal. They could have just needed that little push—

Not likely.

WOKE UP MARRIED



You wake up somewhere...strange. You don't remember the previous night. In fact, you may not recognize what's going on at all.

Also, you're sharing the bed with someone else. You may not recognize them. You probably don't. They may not be your preferred gender or species. It doesn't matter, because you have matching rings on your fingers - or whatever you have that approximates a finger - that can mean only one thing.

You got married!
How to Play:

Make a top-level with character and canon, preferences, all that jazz.
Tag others.
You're now married. Congrats? Or here's a map to the courthouse, if you wanna get that annulled. Expect you'll have to untangle yourself from your spouse and figure out what the hell just happened.

 RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU


Someone — the person you’ve wanted for so long or, perhaps, a complete stranger — stands before you in all their glory. And I don’t mean that facetiously: they look…ah, incredible, like a dream. Enticing. Breathtaking. You’ve never seen someone more intoxicating.


(Or they might look ridiculous. I just didn’t want to kill the mood there, sorry.)

The question now is: what would you do?

how to play

♡ Comment with your character and info/prefs (ex: shipping only, smut a-ok, just here for the roasts or lulz). Link a picture of your character at their peak appeal. Please note any NSFW links.
♡ That is how your character appears to all comers!
♡ Others respond as if yours is a ~vision before their very eyes.
♡ NOW KISS. Or whatever.

 CARETAKER ROLE


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

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

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

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

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

HOW TO PLAY

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

ROLE

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

PROMPTS

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

 wormed their way into your heart meme



You have to look out for them. There's no other option, really.

No matter whether you're gruff, as sweet as can be, an asshole, morally bankrupt, the straightest arrow, kind, socially awkward, or just a normal person, you never expected for someone to come into your life and take up residence in your heart so quickly and so completely. You could be denying their impact, even still, but you can't explain away your desire to protect them. See, they may not be smaller than you - though they could possibly be - and they may not be younger, yet you have to look out for them. They just need it, their own strength or weakness be damned.

And, on some level, you need to do it, because it seems like each other are the only ones you've got.

Life-or-death post-apocalyptic world, dangerous adventure, or even something like making sure they know how to navigate everyday life, you just don't want them hurt. They could be a pain in the ass, but they're your pain in the ass and you'll

...they're looking out for you, too? Now, don't get too crazy...

♡ This meme is for people who have someone important in their lives, whether it be a peer, someone younger, or even someone younger, that they feel responsible for. The inspiration for it is all those badass action dudes who get a child companion who tears down their walls, but there are so many options and different ways to take it!
♡ There's also a romantic option because why not?
♡ Reply with your character, canon, their information and where they'd fit in the meme. You may also want to pick which angle, romantic or platonic, you'd prefer if you have a strong preference, as well as any age restrictions for certain options and scenes.
♡ Reply to others. Have fun, be creative, make up AUs, what have you.

PROMPTS
PLATONIC: Family is who you choose, and that's what you view them as...begrudgingly or not.
ROMANTIC: It began as protection, but feelings caused it to be something more.

   The Abrupt Kissing Meme

 
 
Plain and simple: your character is being kissed. Abruptly. How did this happen? Were they talking too much to the point where it was the only way to shut them up? Was someone bidding adieu or just not able to hold in their feelings? Or was this some CPR class gone bad? More importantly—how do they react?

How this works:

→ Leave a comment with the usual information in the subject line: character name, fandom. Any preferences, including what you don't want, should be included as well. Congratulations, your character is being kissed by whoever tags them!
→ Tag around.
→ Feel free to roll RNG (1-9) if you cannot come up with scenarios of your own.
→ Have fun, and be excellent to each other!
 
  • 1 — Simply put: I like you. (You may or may not know this already.)
  • 2 — I did it to shut you up. (It worked, didn't it?)
  • 3 — I've always been curious... (About what it'd be like to kiss you.)
  • 4 — It was an accident! (I totally tripped!)
  • 5 — Farewell. (I may never see you again and...!)
  • 6 — Taunting. (Bet you didn't see that attack coming didja?)
  • 7 — CPR (You were asleep and you suddenly woke up..?)
  • 8 — No more waiting! (Ain't nobody got time for that.)
  • 9 — Fuck da police. (In other words, the random/whatever option.)

The Online Dating Meme





So you've swiped right. Maybe it was an accident; maybe you're really jonesing after seeing that picture of them fitting an entire Chipotle burrito in their mouth; or maybe, you're just so goddamned bored that lurking around on a hook-up app just seems like the best way to spend your Sunday afternoon. Whatever the case, you've just matched with someone. Want to feel them out with a chat that turns uncomfortably sexual in the middle of your workday? Or just skip straight to an awkward date where you realize they were using their best friend for their profile picture and you're trying to escape out the bathroom window? The uncomfortable world of internet dating is your oyster.

  1. Comment with your character. Oh no, someone slipped them a potion and now they're drunk in love! Who's the target, I wonder.

Married at First Meeting


Breathe. This is the most important day — moment — of your life. Back straight. Eyes up. Here you stand at the alter, about to pledge vows to the person you'll be married to for the rest of your years.

A person you've never seen until a few minutes ago. Someone you have barely heard of, only just met. What happens next? It's fine. Only one or two momentous outcomes may rest on this union.

Don't to forget to breathe. Remember, this is the most important day of your life.

HOW TO PLAY
⟢ It's what it says on the tin. Your character will marry the person they're only just now meeting and the people who tag you fit the role.
⟢ Set your top-level up in the usual fashion. Leave it blank if you'd like, but you can also wax poetic about ideas and potential hooks you've got in mind.
⟢ Folks tag in, you tag out.
⟢ Congrats! The person who tags you is your new spouse.
⟢ Wedding bells are ringing.

Mutual Healing Meme
Healing doesn't come quickly, whether the need comes from physical or mental wounds. But you're trying regain your strength - and yourself.

People, as a general rule, are kind, or at least not outright inflammatory to you, it seems. Still, you just can't connect with them. No matter how nice, how caring, they don't understand. They've never experienced anything like what you've gone through, or they're not like you in a way that lets them see what you still go through; they have no frame of reference. Sure, they have sympathy, but it's not the same. So there's no real connection, despite any friendliness. It's so easy, then, to feel detached...

...until you meet them, in this place of both death and healing.

They may not have been through the exact same struggles, they may not be exactly the same as you, but they know what darkness is light. How they handle this fact may be better or worse than how you do, yet you can see yourself in their actions. And for once? There's connection; more than that, too. Slowly, you can feel yourself opening up towards them, and then, falling for them.

Is this something your used to? Will you fight your feelings, or will you jump at the opportunity to be with someone who can begin to get you? You may have little choice in the matter, as your instincts may just reach out to be with whatever compatible contact you can get. That's better, in the long run, though. Who else could have wounds like yours?

  • Essentially, it's what it says: a "romance," in the loose definition, or "shipping" meme for characters who have been through the wringer or have hangups.
  • Reply with your character, preferences, and any info you want to include. Remember, the more information, the more taggable you are.

THE TOUCH KINK MEME

It's said that a picture is worth a thousand words. A touch, one between people who have more than just something together whether they know it or not, can be worth a million. This meme is to celebrate those intimate touches...with a twist. Almost no touch here is sexual, at least overtly, yet with the right chemistry, things can heat up romantically or erotically. This might not even be caused by the sensation caused by the touch itself - or perhaps it is - but rather the sentiment behind the gesture.

Not a smut player? That's fine. There is a tuned-up emotional aspect to all this as well, as has been mentioned. Be sure to include that you'd prefer things to stay a little less steamy the more hands-on things become.

With all that said, let's put that thousand words to rest. Instead, reach out and touch someone.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character and preferences. Remember to say if you don't want smut.
  • Reply to others.
  • Use RNG. Don't use RNG. It's you're choice.

The Painful Secret Pining Meme

You've been with them for a long time - years, perhaps, maybe even their whole life. More than that, you served as a true friend and supporter. No one could be as dedicated as you are, and you're content to stay in the shadows and let them shine if it just means you can stay by their side a little longer.

But you're not a perfect saint or a martyr of friendship. There are somewhat selfish undertones to your loyalty. You love them.

You feel like you’ve loved them forever, yet while it’s a great affection - no, “great” is probably not enough - in your heart, these feelings are your secret, kept away from everyone…possibly from the object of your desire themself! After all, you couldn’t burden them with anything like that. So, you’ll allow your own emotions to come in second place.

Of course, you haven’t allowed yourself to figure out how this could come back to haunt you in the end, could you? What about when your love moves on to someone who’s “more than a friend?” They won’t need you as much any more. Can you take into account the moment when you snap and can’t hold back the truth any more? And even if you’re really “together,” others won’t know if you keep your relationship under lock and key, and you’ll have to endure others approaching your lover.

Then again, the shoe could be on the other foot. You could be the side being pined after. Will you ever realize your friend’s feelings; if you do, can you return them? After you are certain that you do, will it be too late? Can one burst of passion lead you both to something that changes your relationship forever?

  • Basically, it’s a meme about (one-sided) love one friend has for another over a long time. Devotion, angst, all that.
  • Thread out withheld desires, stoic facades, attempts at leaving this all behind, anger, awkwardness, breaking down, confessions, and all that.
  • Comment with your character and preferences. You might want to include your smut/no smut status.
  • Mention if you’d like your character to be the pining or the pined for.

 The Bittersweet Love Meme


Happy endings are what we crave, right? If we see a couple we like in movies or in real life, we root for them to make it. Why, then, is there such a desire to see love that's tragic, doomed, or bittersweet? People watch sad movies like Titanic, and they know what will happen, but somehow that makes it more poignant. This goes all the way back to tales like Romeo and Juliet. There's just something about a good cry that makes us feel that much more human and even more receptive of beauty.

This meme is equal parts tragedy and beauty, sweet and bitter. Some prompts may be triggering, so tread with caution.

How to Play

- Comment with your character, preferences, etc.
- Comment to others.
- Roll the RNG to determine which scenario to play out.

Prompts
  1. Romeo and Juliet: The classic starcrossed lovers. You can't be together because of warring factions, and you're at the end of your rope. You have to do something.
  2. Not the Same: Angel and demon. Human and god. Whatever the combination, you're not of the same kind. This probably won't end well, especially if one of you is immortal and the other's not, or there's some kind of power difference.
  3. Past Wounds: One of you was hurt in the past, and it was so bad that it's hurting your relationship. Can you be healed by love, or is this something that can't ever be fixed?
  4. Bad Things: This bad thing isn't in the past. This happened when you were together, and now it's affecting how your lover behaves toward you.
  5. Loss: Perhaps it's a loss only one of you suffered, like a family member. Or it's something the both of you share, like the loss of a child. Sometimes, together you can pull through. Other times, it's just too much to bare.
  6. I Can't Live Without You: Whether it be through injury, curse, terminal illness, one of you is dying. There's only a limited time left. Will you spend your last days with the person you love, or will you end it for their own good, so they don't have to watch you die?
  7. Unfaithful: One of you has been unfaithful, even if you still love your significant other. Can this wrong ever be forgiven?
  8. Gone Away: You're being torn apart by location and distance.
  9. A New Start: The sweet part of bitter. Where one relationship ends, another begins. But is your heart too hurt to accept new love?

 ( Old-School Sensuality )



While public displays of affection may not have been entirely taboo in all cultures in the past, there's a certain air of stuffiness that have always peppered Western days gone by and their views on sexuality. Literature of the Regency and Victorian periods are exercises in hidden, torrid attraction and more than healthy amounts of repression


The power of suggestion can, when applied expertly, be much more poignant than what's overt. When the imagination is allowed to fill in the blanks, actions or images that could be innocent in another context may seem much more salacious. And even with the risque, like a sexy lingerie set, what's appealing isn't the skin showing, it's what's hidden.

The art of "leaving something to the imagination" may be dying, some say, so let's put it into practice. Stolen glances, heated touches, pinnings against walls, pining, brushing bodies, deep kissing, faces pressed in necks, and tension. Tension, tension, tension. Remember, sensuality, not sexuality, though the interaction between you could get heated when all of the senses are involved.

  • ( comment. feel free to bring out your period or fantasy characters/AU your characters into a historical setting...because this is really just an excuse to play out costume-porn-Brontë-approved near-smut. in contrast idek, your modern character could be really proper or reserved, in a forbidden relationship - i'm not here to judge! )

THE RECOGNITION MEME

inspired by the comic Elfquest

Recognition is an overwhelming, undeniable mating urge that occurs when two compatible elves meet eyes. If Recognition is denied, the elves in question will sicken and die. This encourages unwilling partners to hurry and breed and be over with it, even if they don't wish to be mated for life. Those that take a lifemate without Recognition hope they will eventually Recognize their chosen mate and often that can come to pass. When undergoing Recognition, two elves learn each other's essence, thoroughly, and if they have one, learn the soul name as well, and feel a truly all-consuming urge to mate. Recognized elves have an emphatic bond thrust upon them, each knowing the other completely, even sensing the emotions of the other, and the loss of a Recognized lifemate can often cause suicidal frenzies and near-catatonia. [ from the wiki
tl;dr, you now live in an AU where fated mates are a thing alongside psychic bonds, emotion-swapping, memory sharing, and all the angst. Have fun with that.

The Lots of Kisses Meme

It started with a simple four panel template on PIXIV where artists would draw their favorite characters kissing in different ways. From there, it became a DeviantArt sensation, spawning several permutations. But you want to know the truth? The challenges above each box can be used by RPers as prompts, too! That's where this meme comes in. Each of the prompts comes from one of the kiss meme templates or the many other related ones - including one bonus section of odds and ends!

Instead of using lines to draw a scene of two characters enjoying a cute smooch, use lines of prose. And have fun, most of all.

Massage Meme


Everyone could use a good massage now and then. Well it's time to let your characters lay back and relax! Or maybe treat someone else to a good little rub down. Break out the oils and scented candles, it's time to work some magic!

How to play:

  • POST with your character (list name, canon and preference in the subject, if you please!)

  • Others can reply giving the massage or receiving it.

  • Use RNG to pick from the numbers below, or choose your own!

  • Have fun!
Type
1. Shoulder and Neck - the basics. Perhaps someone has been sitting too long at their desk. Or maybe something even more strenuous.

2. Foot - It's time to give those yapping dogs a rest and treat them to a little TLC.

3. Hand - Hey don't forget about the hands! Overworked constantly they could use a bit of a break.

4. Arm - Time to loosen up a bit and rub out those arm muscles.

5. Leg - Perhaps you're looking for something a bit more specific and intimate. Calve massage? Thigh? Full leg? It's your choice.

6. Back - Considered the coup de grace of massage. When done right, it can bring extreme relief to those on the receiving end.

7. Scalp - Wanna feel those tingles down your spine? Maybe a little oil to add health to the hair?

8. Full Body - Maybe it’s not just a specific area you want treated, but the whole shebang.

9. Wild Card - Anyway you want it. Mix and match, maybe I forgot something you want.
Relationship
1. Friend - getting a massage from a friend can be a wonderful bonding experience. That can exacerbate already existing tensions!

2. Lover - Whether a show of care or a prelude to something more intimate, a massage from a lover is a very welcome thing.

3. Service - Hey some of us aren't so lucky. We gotta pay for this service.

4. Wild card - Whatever you want. However you want it.

The Brothel AU Meme

If sex work is the world's oldest profession, then the brothel may be among the world's oldest businesses. The scene could be anywhere: the modern world, a riff on Middle Earth, a futuristic space colony. Wherever you go, there will always be a demand for your services... and whether you're a high-class escort to the elite or the jewel of the slums, it's a living.

How To Play

1. Top level with your preference: sex worker, client, or either
2. Pick your prompt/s and set a scene, or just wing it!
3. Tag around!
Prompts


1. Old Pro
You're a proper professional with an active client base and a reputation for your skills. Can you leverage that experience to your advantage?

2. Newbie
You're new to this profession and still finding your footing. Some clients find that charming, and other workers may take you under their wing.

3. Demonstration
This is a special job: you're putting on a show for an audience, or maybe you're showing a new worker the ropes.

4. Forbidden Love
Sex workers know better than to fall for a client, and clients know better than to fall for a sex worker. Perhaps even more fraught is a relationship between two workers. This time, however... you just can't help yourself.

5. SO Experience
Your job isn't just about the sex. You provide the entire girl/boyfriend experience: doting words, public appearances, accepting gifts. And yet, it's just a job... right?

6. Something Extra
Kink, monsters, transformation, and magic, oh my! There's something a little different about the services you offer.

7. Getaway
You're ready to break away from this life, whether it's on your own or with someone you've grown close to.

8. Wildcard
Anything goes!

PROTECTOR/PROTECTED


There’s no real push to your actions; you do them as if they were second nature. Perhaps, initially, you were assigned this role, as protector and guardian of this person. Maybe you took it on because there was no one else. A natural guardian or not, good or evil, you caught a shining to them and felt…something. Something hard to explain, but you want to keep them safe and happy - or at the very least, content. No one is as dedicated to them as you. You want them to reach their goals; to help them achieve them, you'll do what you must, even if it means being their gofer or their right hand.

But most of all, you don't want them to end up like you. They're worth more than that.

Yet somehow, along the line, you became more to them, more than just their protector. You protect them anew and you've found a different way to make them happy. It's selfish, too, because you love them in your way and you want them more than anything. You may feel guilty, of course. They don't, though, and that's what matters.

  • Comment with your character, preferences, and what you'd prefer to play: protector or protected.
  • Remember, you don't have to be so rigid. A traditionally weak character can "protect" a traditionally strong one in emotional ways.
  • Reply to others.

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

 THE ROYAL HAREM AU


The royal harem is a part of certain aristocratic courts and can serve as both a setting and a plot driver for various stories. The combination of sex, forbidden-ness, and exoticism that fictional harems often represent has led to them showing up in numerous stories over the years...

Harems are off-limits to most, which often puts them into Forbidden Fruit territory ... There may be some person who has particular authority over the harem (whether a eunuch, a chief wife/concubine, or a relative of the owner). If the court is deadly and decadent, expect a lot of politics in the harem, with its members competing with each other for power and preference. As in many real harems, getting to be the ruler's favourite (and maybe wife) could be worth a lot, especially if you become mother to a much-desired heir to the throne.

How To Play

1. Top level with your preference: concubine, ruler, or something else!
2. Pick your prompt/s and set a scene, or just wing it!
3. Tag around!

PROMPTS


1. Newcomer
You're new to the harem (or just newly of age) - but are you uncertain?

2. The Favorite
Perhaps you've been here for a long time, or you've quickly caught the ruler's eye. Regardless, everyone knows you're the favorite.

3. Spoils of War
You didn't expect to end up here. You were captured, brought into the harem against your will. What will you do now?

4. Teaching the Arts
As a concubine, you must be an expert of the arts: dance, storytelling, poetry, embroidery... and, of course, sex. Who will teach you?

5. Forbidden Fruit
The harem is off-limits to you, nor are concubines meant to consort with the outside world - but there is someone you just can't resist.

6. Playing Politics
When you share a bed with power, power is within your reach.

7. True Love
It's forbidden to fall in love with a concubine and unwise for a concubine to forget their role, but...

8. Queen Mother
Often, the parent of the current or future monarch enjoys incredible political power, prestige, and importance in the court. Can you twist your role to your advantage?

9. Escape
You can't stand this gilded cage anymore. It's time to leave!

10. Wildcard
Anything goes!

   VIDEOCHAT AND PHONE SEXING

 FLOWER SHOP AU MEME


Eclipsed on popularity only by the coffee shop AU, the flower shop AU is one of fandom's perennial mainstays. Add in shipping or gen and this slice-of-life trope really blooms!
Learn more about the trope here.
How do I play?

  • Comment with your character, of course! Include preferences and, if desired, a small blurb about what role your character might take. Don't be afraid to bring in adjacent AU types, like coffee shop AUs, modern AUs, or the ever-popular flower shop/tattoo parlor AU.
  • Comment to others.
  • Get ready for a bouquet of threads!

  "WILL YOU MOVE IN WITH ME?"


See the title above for the question. Now, what will be the answer?

HOW TO PLAY

↺ Comment with your character. No blank comments are allowed. Instead, choose your destiny and pick out a dialogue starter you'd like to use. Two ways to interpret the meme:
1. Your character wants to ask their S.O. to move in with them.
2. Their S.O. has just asked them to move in together.

↺ Then the magic happens. Threads burst out from that little line of dialogue and bloom!
↺ Happy house hunting! Or not; maybe you won't even leave a toothbrush at their place, forget moving in.

 MY FANTASY IS...



It's one thing to fantasize about someone, whether it's a specific person or an idealized stand-in. Actually describing your fantasy out loud? That's another beast entirely...

✱ Comment with your character. Don't leave your top-level blank, though.
✱ Because, instead of that ol' blank comment, you're gonna have your character admit to their deepest romantic/sexual fantasy! Anything from pudding wrestling with identical twins to living a happy, domestic life in an ivy-covered English cottage with the girl of your dreams (who bakes artisanal bread made with goats' milk sourced from flower crown-clad baby goats). Just none of that sick handholding shit, you perverts.
✱ THEY'RE ALL GONNA LAUGH AT YOU!
✱ No. I'm being harsh, maybe they'll respect—
✱ —nah, the whole squad will roast you.
✱ But it's almost Valentine's Day, so WHO CARES?

  4. GO NUTS

   the hurt/comfort shipping meme


In order to avoid long extrapolation, I'll say one thing: I've noticed that people like what I call "h/c shipping kink." Kink may not be the right word - sex need not be involved - but essentially, crappy things happen to our characters in their crapsack worlds in canon all the time. Sometimes, we like to see them happy. Or relatively happier. And less evil and more adjusted, for those of us who play those types. It's all very self-indulgent.

And, as you can tell from my username, I'm going to be compiling memes that have, for some reason, got micromanaged into ridiculous niches when they should all be under one umbrella. This first project is to wrangle up all the "caretaking" themed shipping memes. Basically, one character cares for the other, be it physically, emotionally, or otherwise. There is also shipping.

The end goal is to weed down redundant memes and, maybe, make this an all-purpose post!

HOW TO PLAY

  • You know the protocol.
  • Comment with your characters and preferences. Also, be sure to include whether your character would be the caretaker, the cared for, or if you can play either.
  • Reply to others.

PROMPTS

  1. Physically Hurt: The traditional h/c scenario. Your partner is hurt, and you break out the bandages to patch them up and give them a shoulder to lean on. May also come with the Florence Nightingale effect, where the "patient" falls in love with the "nurse" thanks to their care.
  2. Emotionally Hurt: You can't put bandages on wounded egos and souls, but you can try your best.
  3. Illness: You're with someone who's sick - maybe even with a long-term, chronic, or mortal illness.
  4. Trauma: Like emotional hurt, this is not an easy cure, and it's even deeper. There will also be blowback on the one trying to care for their traumatized loved one.
  5. Mortality: You're struggling with the fact that one partner may die sooner than the other because of lifestyle or species reasons.
  6. The One Left Behind: One side of the ship is the person left at home to wait and worry.
  7. Triumphant Return: They're finally back and in one piece! Celebrate in the way you two deem best.
  8. Changed by Your Love: You're finding yourself a better person now that you're with them.
  9. Pulled from Depression: You saw no reason to live before you met them.
  10. Physical Protector/Bodyguard: It started out as protection. It became more.
  11. Pure/Impure: You two have varying alignments and varying experiences. Does this affect your relationship?
  12. Remember: Or actually, you can't. You've lost everything about your identity, including your past memories. Needless to say, you may cling to the one person who's helping you. You also may not want to remember your old life.
  13. In a Bad Situation: You're in a dangerous scenario - being hunted, prisoners, bruised and beaten and brought to a strange place - and all you have to rely on is each other. You've been thrown into the fire together and you have to survive.
  14. Inexperienced: Whether it be in romance, sex, or the world in general, one part of the pairing is teaching the other part the ropes. This can encompass so-called "innocence kinks" or age differences.
  15. I Thought I Lost You: Their injuries were so substantial that you thought they were done for. Now, you have to deal with your own emotional
  16. Gentle, Loving Smut: AKA sexual healing and all gentle smut memes or memes that focus on emotional attachment.
  17. Bad Sexual Experience: Similar to the above option, but including sexual baggage that one partner must prove does not always apply.
  18. Trust Issues: One of you has a hard time trusting the other. There may be jealousy involved here.
  19. Unexpected Caretaker: You'd think the sweet one would take care of the dour one, but it's the opposite way around. This is the "surly badasses take care of the one they love" option.
  20. Unwillingly Cared For: You don't need to be coddled. They should leave you alone!
  21. Hurt by You: You have to pick up the pieces of what you've done, thanks to an argument or your temper.
  22. Draining: Caring for them is damaging you and your relationship with them.
  23. Mutually Beneficial: There's not one set "caretaker." You both look out for each other.

  AT FIRST SIGHT MEME


Love at First Sight. It's a staple of Fairy Tales, love songs, and the Disney Animated Canon. Two characters meet, and fall deeply, madly, passionately in love with each other immediately. This is one of the most common and oldest story archetypes.

PROMPTS

1. Meet-Cute
chance meeting has brought you together, and the chemistry is instantaneous.

2. Blind Date
You've been set up! Blind dates can be an utter disaster, but maybe you'll get lucky this time.

3. IRL
You've been chatting online for a long time, and now you're finally meeting in person.

4. Your Perfect Match
In this world, an advanced algorithm identifies your ideal mate based on a number of factors. Did the computers get this one right?

5. Arranged Marriage
The first time you meet is also your wedding day.

6. Soulmate
Whatever your trope of choice is, the very moment you lay eyes on this person, you know that you're meant to be. How do you react?

7. Roleplay
This isn't actually your first meeting, but sometimes it's fun to pretend it is... if just to relive (or redo) that magical moment.

8. Missed Connection
You didn't have the courage to approach them before, but you just can't forget about them. Now you're determined to find them again.

9. Subversion
You've got strong feelings at first sight, all right, but it isn't exactly love. You can't explain it, but this person just grinds your gears!

10. Wildcard
Anything goes!

 the ( camshow ) meme


Camming, verb, is when someone is requested to perform certain activities, often sexual, in front of a webcam for clients.

how to play
1. Comment with your character and preferences.

Set the scene with details of what viewers might see when they stumble into your character’s chatroom, or leave it up to the imagination. Is this a one-off thing, a quick way to make ends meet before rent is due, or is this the new 9-to-5?

2. Comment around, explore the selection of cam streams. Did your character accidentally find themselves on this page, or do they have their favorite cammer’s stream schedule memorized?

3. Make special requests and leave tips. Remain anonymous or expose yourself as your cammers number one fan.

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.

4) Random massive shipping ensues.

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?

the CHRISTMAS DATE meme

   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. If you wish your lover to tremble and blush with shame when you reveal their nakedness, this is your destination. (Alyssum's adepts dressed in the veils and robes of Yeshuite priests and priestesses)

2. Balm- The House canon is compassion. Their motto is "rest and be soothed". Those who need healing and soothing through gentle touch and companionship may come here. These adepts are also the most skilled at massage of all the houses.

3. Bryony- The House canon is cupidity and the desire for money, the motto "Wealth Seeks Company". Their house is more of a carnival of wonders, where you may gamble with your desires in a game of will and wits. Be careful what favors you gamble with though, for the adepts who work here are said to rarely lose.

4. Camellia- The House canon is perfection. Those who work here are physically perfect, without flaw, and as such they are considerably more proud of their station. Perhaps haughty and brilliant would best describe the adepts who reside here.

5. Cereus- The House canon is fragility, their motto "all lovliness fades". The youthful and delicate serve here, those who hold their beauty for a fleeting moment. Cereus also has the distinction of being the oldest of all the houses. The adepts here are ones who know the value of living for the present and making each moment count. (Dressed as snow/ice creatures in white and silver)

6. Dahlia- The House canon is dignity and regality. All those who serve in Dahlia house conduct themselves as royalty, with the proper mannerisms, decorum, and attitude. (Gold to rival Cereus' silvery white)

7. Eglantine- The House canon is performance. Those who serve here are skilled in the arts of singing, dancing, and poetry and can perform together or privately for their patrons. (Dressed as Tsingani, arrayed in bright colors as of our gypsies or street performers)

8. Gentian- The House canon is purity of spirit. The adepts here can read visions and dreams, and may reveal things that hold great meaning to those they share their knowledge with. (Seers preceded by incensers)

9. Heliotrope- The House canon is love and devotion. Their motto is "thou and no other". It is said that when one lies with an adept from Heliotrope, they shall make you feel as if you are the only one who has ever touched their hearts.

10. Jasmine- The House canon is sensuality. Their motto is "for pleasure's sake" and the experience is pure hedonism. Adepts are said to be the most exotic of all the houses, and they emphasize this in their dress. (The exotica of faraway lands, some draped in naught but sheer veils)

11. Mandrake- The House canon is sadism and dominance. The motto is "yield all". Adepts are Mandrake are trained to dominate those who come seeking such release, using skills and tools to bestow plain and pleasure. A signale is arranged beforehand that patrons can use should they ever wish to stop their session. (The Court of Tartarus, a deliciously sinister note amidst the gaiety of the others, heavy black robes of velvet or satin and bronze masks at once beautiful and grotesque.)

12. Orchis- The House canon is mirth, it's motto "joy in laughter". Adepts from this house are joyful people who believe in fun above all else. They are quick with a grin and a game, and skilled in making their patrons smile. (A stunning aquatic theme filled with mermaids and fantastic sea beasts)

13. Valerian- The House canon is submission, the motto "I yield". Adepts are trained from childhood to experience pain with all pleasure and pleasure with all pain. They also have a signale they can use if they need to stop. (Somewhat similarly to Jasmine, a theme of a Middle Eastern harem)

  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.
