  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 "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.

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.

 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.

  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.

 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.

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 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 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 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.

  • Comment - character and preferences.
  • Reply - others.

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 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.
10. More Sexual. ( more sexually active, experienced, or interested in sex. )
11. More Respectful.
12. Settling Down. ( taming the playboy. )

THE FALL FESTIVAL MEME

It's fall! The air is growing crisp, the leaves are turning, and the warming smell of pumpkin spice tingles at your nose. Grab your lattes and don your light jackets, it's time to enjoy the season!



1. Pumpkin Patch
You're looking for that perfect pumpkin for your needs - the best jack-o-lantern, the prettiest centerpiece, the finest pie. Don't let anyone take it before you can!

2. Hayride
Who doesn't love a bumpy horse-drawn carriage ride on a prickly stack of animal feed? Hope you're not allergic!

3. Corn Maze
Getting hopelessly lost is fun, right?! At least you won't go hungry...

4. Haunted House
Don't be fooled by the shrieking, you're not afraid of no ghost! Or are you the one doing the spooking?

5. Apple Picking
How much apple pie, cider, donuts, and fruit can you consume before you burst?! Or is outsourced farm labor just not your thing?

6. Harvest
Whether you're a sworn city-slicker, country stock, or you make your home in an old-timey village, there's sure to be a harvest festival near you.

7. Oktoberfest
There is no better celebration of culture than getting smashed and eating soft pretzels.

 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 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.

   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!

Pookie. Honey bear. That Bastard. Sun and stars, moon of my life. Prince of Darkness.

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.

   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!

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.

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.

  • 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!

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!"

 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.

   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.

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 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.

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.
  • Then, respond to others.

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.

   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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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 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?

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.

8. 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!

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!

"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.

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!

  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.

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?
