Public displays of affection make people very uncomfortable.

THE FAKE RELATIONSHIP MEME

You're not together. But you need to make people think you are. Because of reasons.

Maybe you secretly can't stand each other. Maybe you like each other, just not like that. (Or do you?) Maybe this is the only way you'll ever get to be with your crush. Maybe you just need to give off that couple vibe in public, or maybe you're going to be forced to engage in some hot'n'heavy fakeout makeouts. For reasons, okay?

You know the drill. Post, tag, profit.

home for the holidays ⇢ You need to prove to your parents that you do so have a significant other. Just until they're gone.
no singles need apply ⇢ The place is perfect, but the landlady will only rent it to a nice, respectable couple.
it's not safe for a woman alone ⇢ One of you is vulnerable in this big, bad world without a partner to protect you.
public relations ⇢ There's only one way to stop these pesky rumors: start your own.
undercover mission ⇢ They'll never suspect a couple of lovey-dovey honeymooners of... whatever it is you're actually up to.
marriage of convenience ⇢ It's good for both your families. Or your finances. Or your hetero street cred. Whatever: might as well make the best of it.
well that escalated quickly ⇢ It's common knowledge that you're together, except you're the last to know. Is it worth correcting people?
free space ⇢ Bring your own ~~bottle~~ scenario.

warmed up smut meme.

This was never supposed to happen.

You're not the average person, going doe-eyed and soft for anyone and everyone. Perhaps you're not even a person: you're of another species, an angel, an alien, a demon, something beyond human emotions. Or, if you are as human as human could be, you tend towards coldness; you could be just a naturally cool personality, a person with a cause that you’ve forsaken all else for, someone who’s repressed all emotions for personal or safety reasons, or even an individual trained or brainwashed to be blank and calculating. Details.

No matter what, this was never supposed to happen.

At best, you were meant to be uninvolved. Just a casual, unaffected observer, or someone unaffiliated with them. At worst, they were intended to be a target for you. At neutral? Well, you're not supposed to know or care about them. Certainly, you weren't intended to love (love?) the way they make you feel, the way they smell, their face. You shouldn't want to know how it feels to touch them; you shouldn't want to know what it would be with them forever.

Above all else, you should not be having sex with them, the most heated of all actions. Whether it be the first time or the hundredth time you've had sex, this is the first time you're body's felt like it might catch fire, as if intercourse is an emotion rather than a sensation. No matter if they're gently guiding the way or you're taking charge, you're realizing the inevitable - you're in love with them.

It's too late for you to freeze yourself once again. You've already warmed up beyond measure by all that they've shown you. Will you admit to that or harden your heart as much as you can?

In most cultures, sex is a hallowed, intimate act that is supposed to be kept between two individuals in a private setting, not for the eyes of interlopers. But even outside of that, there are reason you'd want to keep you sexual activities a secret: your age, the fact that one or both of you are committed to others, your orientation not being common knowledge, the relationship itself being taboo or forbidden in some way, or the place you're having intercourse being one that is NOT suited for that sort of activity...like a public spot or a friend's home.

Despite better judgement and in spite of all the danger, though, today you're having sex in a place or in a scenario where their is a high risk of being caught.

HOW TO PLAY

- Comment with your character and preferences.
- Others will comment to you.
- Why are your characters smutting it up? It's up to you, but here are some ideas:

+ They're so in love they can't keep their hands off of each other, no matter where they may be...or who may be around.
+ The random desire strikes.
+ This is the only chance to have sex they've got.
+ If they're cheating, perhaps there's a streak of cruelty to stick it to who they're cheating on by doing it so boldly.
+ One partner wants to potentially humiliate the other, OR torture an enemy who is close to/a significant other of their partner.
+ The danger of maybe being caught - or quite very likely being caught - is a thrill and a kink.

Arranged Marriage

To have and to hold, you said, till death do us part, all while the sharp, swinging pendulum of obligation hung overhead. But how could you have truly meant those words? This union has been tainted from the start, forever bearing the chains of an arranged marriage. It would be understandable if you couldn't bear to look at your new life partner, eternal reminder of your stolen future that they are, much less like them.
Much less love them...

Still, things can change.

You could realize that they are in the same boat as you or, that when compared to others around you,
they are the lesser of evils. Perhaps you even open up to the idea of a friendship; at the very least,
an alliance may be in order to become a power couple in a perilous world. From that innocent decision or sense of self-preservation, a new feelings sparks. Something like affection.

Something, you realize in the wake of speeding heartbeats, like love.

Will you acknowledge this? Can the two of you have a happily ever after - happier than if you'd met in another fashion - or will you hold firm in your distaste?

POSSIBLE REASONS FOR MARRIAGE:

① Station → You come from a royal, noble, or otherwise distinguished family who has chosen a suitable spouse for you.
② Feud → You are being married to put an end to the bitter enmity between your two families.
③ Economics → Your economic state and/or your station will improve through the union, though one of you may be marrying down.
④ Empire → You and your spouse are merging your businesses and/or property to create something more influential or profitable.
⑤ Tribute → You have been offered as a gift or appeasement, alternately you're the spoils of war.
⑥ Bloodline → Carrying on your distinguished family name has fallen to you and the equally well-bred spouse of your family's selection.
⑦ Disapproval → Your marriage has been arranged to keep you away from the person with whom you truly wish to be.

POSSIBLE SCENARIOS:

① First meeting → This is the very first time you're meeting your future spouse.
② Courtship → To get to know each other and encourage affection, your family has approved of you going on dates.
③ Engagement party → Be it a huge, formal affair or a small, intimate get together, you're celebrating (or pretending).
④ Wedding day → The big day!
⑤ Reception → The big party!
⑥ Wedding night → Every meme needs a smut prompt, right?
⑦ Honeymoon → Where will you go with your new spouse and what will you do there?

SECRET relationship;

The fact that you're in a relationship with this person isn't public knowledge. Actually, no one knows about it except for the people involved. Maybe you guys are just private like that; on the other hand, it may be a necessity to keep things a secret from others. Maybe you're both team mates, and others on the team would give you grief, or you're not suppose to be dating, or you're not the type to usually date and you're only testing the waters. Perhaps it's the combination of you two, possibly an odd couple, that would bring some controversy or some teasing. Or, you know, you could not want to deal with friends and relatives being busybodies. Your reasons are your own.

Are you content with stealing moments to be together as a couple? Do you want to make your relationship known and the fact that you can't drives you batty? Remember, there are lots of benefits to dating in secret. You can be yourselves completely, away from prying eyes, and get to know each other better as potential longterm romantic partners. In a way, it's ideal.

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

Make It Count Meme
absence makes the heart grow fonder

You just can't get enough of this person, whether it be love, lust, or both. You'd do anything to get to spend more time with them; a little bit is never enough! But the moments you can be together are few and far between. One of you is always on the road, there's duties to be beholden to, your relationship is so forbidden that chances of being caught are too high to justify much risk. Even if you, on the off chance, live together, it seems like you're always just missing each other. More likely, though, you live a considerable distance apart. Or maybe, you know, one of you could be the captain of a ship of the undead, only allowed to come to shore every ten years!

...no? Not really?

At any rate, you two are having one of your rare get togethers, and you're making up for lost time. Perhaps you need some life-affirming, to know that they're still there and still waiting for you. On the other hand, you might just want to go all day for no reason at all. There doesn't need to be an explanation. Neither of you have to justify yourselves to anyone, you just have to soak each other up. Hopefully, nothing's changed between you, though you might have to spend time relearning the curves of their body - but actually, that's nothing you'd ever forget. You have their whole form memorized, and all their weak spots, too, so you can think about them when you're alone.

Now, you're making every second count and forgetting the whole world outside exists.

The MILF/DILF MEME
(or the age difference meme)

Society values youth and, admittedly, for good reason. It's a sign of health and vitality; psychologically, it represents unburdened potential and boundless energy. But there's something to be said for wisdom that comes through age and from creating life. Plus, current science says that the sexual peak may be later than we actually think.

Today, we're celebrating those who've either lived enough into adulthood to have a child, or as they're coloquially known - the MILFS and DILFS. Just because you've had a kid, (potentially) settled down, and are all "responsible" doesn't mean you can't have a little fun. The staff has worked hard on providing a proper environment: either a. a suburban neighborhood, b. a facsimile of your character's canon(s), or c. a nebulous AU of your choosing. The young guys and gals will do the rest.

My character isn't a MILF or a DILF, but I want to play them as such! No problem! Feel free to AU and age up. The meme is also left open ended enough that those without kids can be the "older" parties; given the average age of the characters usually played, qualify for the "older" party means being mid-to-late twenties at least, with the ideal minimum being 27-30. Play it fast and loose with everything and throw in other kinks as need be!

What's the Story?

Cougars? You're not being satisfied in your current relationship, but there's something about this youthful person that gets your fire started. It may be wrong, you might feel guilty, but you want some relief, and they could give it to you. Now, to get their attention...

The One Thing You Can't Have? The shoe's on the other foot, and you're the younger party jonesing for that hot, experienced MILF/DILF. Problem is, they think you're just a kid! They won't give you the time of day at all. Can you prove that you're not the little boy that you used to be, you're all grown up and you're begging Stacy please -

Mommy and Daddy Kink? No one's here to play Freud, but sometimes, lacking a role models early in life can seek someone looking for them later, searching for someone who can give them love, pampering, or discipline.

It Would Be My Honor to be Your New Step Father: Uh-oh. The MILF/DILF you're seeing? They're your friends mom or dad! That's likely to put a strain on the relationship.

MILF or DILF to Be: They're not a MILF or DILF yet, but you're about to change that. The obligatory "unsafe sex" or "impregnation" option. Can be part of an insidious plot to make the younger party your "little wife/husband" too!

In the Family? Nobody knows you quite like your own family, so maybe that older relative, parent, or sibling can set you on the right path.

Ageplay? The difference in your ages is the point, and it's what turns you on. The two of you are sure to bring it up and play it up often.

Curiosity? You're tired of people who are immature, or you want to relive earlier days. It's just for fun!

Hot for Teacher? Parents aren't the only ones in positions of power.

Illegal? The younger party is young enough for this to be a danger.

Blackmail? I'm sure your spouse would love to see this...on a porno website! But youngsters can be blackmailed, too. Your naughty ways could be exposed, and what would everyone think of someone so dirty?

Same Age? You're both mature, you can do this. Still, you want to know you've still got it.

Sex &

Magic

❝ A witch’s sexuality was essential to her enigmatic power, abhorrent corruption and her menacing allure. ❞

❝ Sex magic (or sexual magic or sex magick) is a term used for various types of sexual activity used in magical, theurgical or other religious and spiritual pursuits. It is based on the premise that sexual energy or libido (and the release of sexual energy through orgasm) is the human organism’s most potent force, and that harnessing it through sexual activity provides an experiential conduit for the transcendence of reality. The level of energy generated by sexual arousal is claimed by its practitioners to create very powerful magic. ❞

As far as the roll of the dice of fate can fall, you could have scored worse: you're a witch (or wizard, magician, mage, what have you), and power flows through your veins. Still, before you can use this ability or don your black hat, you must pay the carnal price of this world, no matter your personal feelings on the matter. Fortunately, sex is plentiful for those who need to craft their spellwork. You might as well enjoy what you do.

S T R A Y

Taking in strays is, all in all, an understandable vice. The dips in between their ribs, those large and forlorn eyes, they can help you forget the claws and the teeth and the danger lurking beneath fur. But the habit's a knife edge; your efforts may not be rewarded with kindness (animal instincts aren't discretionary) and you may get bit despite what you've overlooked. A stray doesn't care about pity. All it can know is survival.

These warnings apply to strays of the more human(oid) sort, too.

But what may even more perilous with this type than any drawn blood is what you can get when they grow to trust you. You can earn their undying loyalty...or their love. Either from such a wild thing is a precarious path to go down, if you allow yourself to do it.

shy love ♡

Sometimes, you want to play out an innocent, almost cloying relationship that doesn't involve all the PDA, smut, or overwrought emotions. You have a hankering for stoic types growing close and only telling each other through silent communication...or shy teenagers holding hands under the table, not macking in front of the school, either or. What you want are realizations, maybe even blushing and some awkwardness, or perhaps simple, uncomplicated togetherness.

You might just want a shy love instead of grand romance.

This meme for the small, subtle attractions, pull between persons, enjoying each other's company, long looks across crowded rooms, "what ifs," subdued acknowledgements, and never-becoming-what-could-be-s. Or perhaps, more tragically, never-realizing-what's-there-s.

FREAK LIKE ME meme

You know you're a freak and that, sooner or later, everyone you've known will leave you. And why wouldn't they? You're so different. An outsider. Maybe it's socially, because of your family or situation, your appearance, or, in a rare case, some ability that seperates you from others, but it's all the same, even if you're oppressed for your differences or if you slide under the radar. You're in a hell of your own design - loneliness.

Until you meet another freak, someone else incredibly different...someone who also wants to stay with you.

The circumstances, good or bad, under which you met don't matter, because you're not alone anymore. In fact, this person makes you want to look past any self-loathing or low self-esteem you may have and be better. At least they do on some level. Why they care, you don't entirely know. One thing is for certain, however: you'll do anything to keep them safe and by your side. Your situation may just come in handy, for once.

let's go parking

how it works:

● Post with your character.
● Others respond to your character.
● You can use the RNG or pick your own!
● Have fun!

scenarios:

1 ✪ first date: Shy and fumbling, you're just getting know each other, what's a better way than going to lover's lane to 'talk' or maybe something else.
2 ✪ cop a feel: So you're going to take the chance, why not try to go for the 'gold' and try a little heavy touching.
3 ✪ make out: You have no illusions, you know what parking is for: Lip locking. So get to it. It's make out time.
4 ✪ hot and heavy: The windows are getting steamy, you know what that means: time to go all the way.
5 ✪ just talking: No seriously. You're just going to be talking. Boring but sweet.
6 ✪ stuck in traffic: Okay, so you're not parked but you're sure as hell not moving. Traffic sucks. But maybe you can figure out a way to pass the time.
7 ✪ snow storm: Yep, sudden!blizzard has hit and now you're stranded in your car. You need to either go get help or figure out a way to keep warm, someone's bound to drive by eventually.
8 ✪ your choice!

type of vehicle (optional):

1 ✪ truck: the cab is small but there's a whole 'bed' in the back.
2 ✪ compact car: a classic, the front seat might be a bit cramped but there's room in the backseat
3 ✪ sports car: so sleek yet oh so small
4 ✪ convertible: it's topless! so if you get topless there's not a lot of privacy but the breeze feels nice, right?
5 ✪ station wagon: there's room everywhere!
6 ✪ classic/vintage muscle car: nothing gets your motor running more than an old muscle car ~~that might break down a lot~~
7 ✪ limo: there's lots of leg room but make sure you put up that center window to keep the driver from hearing.
8 ✪ train car: (get it?) those bumps caused by the track sure are making things more exciting, aren't they? too bad you don't have much room to spread out.

SLOPPY MAKE-OUTS MEME!

It doesn't matter why, but you're either in the middle of making out with someone or you're about it. Pretty hot and heavy, too. Who knows how you got there -- that's mostly up to you. All you know is that you're not going to feel satisfied until you're flushed and barely breathing.

LOCATIONS:

01. roof: maybe you were given a note, or were dragged up by the person you're currently macking on. either way, you're definitely on the rooftop of some building, away from prying eyes.

02. school/office: you might be at the office, or maybe you just finished your last class for the day; regardless of where you might be, it sure isn't a good place to be making out with someone-- oops.

03. movie theater: the go-to place for most makeouts. sitting in the back or off to the side; just make sure no one catches you!

04. backstage: maybe you won tickets to a concert, perhaps you performed or they did, maybe you even snuck in! but you're backstage somewhere for something, getting hot and heavy in the dark corners.

05. public: out for a walk, having a picnic, maybe you're swimming! but regardless of where you are, it's in public.

06. home: whether you're are at your house, theirs, or someone elses, you're getting down and naughty inside a home of some design.

07. wildcard: re-roll, combine, pick your own, or make one up!

DIRECTIONS:

• Post a comment with your character.
• Reply to other people with your character and go to the RNG to generate a number between 1 and 7.
• Match the number to the options above.
• Reply to the thread starter and go from there! You can either be in the middle of a make out session or about to start; it's all up to you.

All Our Characters Deserve Something Nice: The Meme

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

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.

• 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.

The Hanahaki Disease Meme

The Hanahaki Disease is an illness born from one-sided love, where the patient throws up and coughs up flower petals when they suffer from one-sided love. The infection can be removed through surgery, but the feelings disappear along with the petals...

1- Discovery:
There's the one person who makes your heart leap into your throat- but wait, that's not your heart. Where are all these flowers coming from? And why do they remind you of your beloved?

2- Concern:
Someone you know has been acting strange lately... Coughing a lot, hiding their hands all the time... It's enough to make anybody worry.

3- Sicker and Sicker:
Coughing up flower petals all the time isn't easy to hide. But it's getting harder to even breathe, now. You're going to have to make a decision, and soon...

4- Confession:
Everyone knows that there's two ways to get rid of Hanahaki: Surgery (the risk dependent on the time period), or confessing your feelings. Time to toe up and face your beloved and just tell them that you love them so much you're dying from it.

5- Post-Op:
The other option... You just couldn't tell them, but you weren't ready to die. Still, without those feelings the world seems a little less colorful. Can you still be friends with them now that you have to start all over? Do you want to?

6- Make your own!
There's flower petals coming out of somebody's mouth in some way for some reason- make this prompt your own.

Just as a note, due to the nature of the meme vivid descriptions of coughing/choking/gagging are probably going to happen. If you want it toned down, make sure to put that in your top-level.

Sentinels and Guides are Known:
A Sentinel!AU Meme

There are special people in the world: Sentinels, whose five senses are incredibly enhanced, sometimes to the point of overwhelming and who can easily lose themselves in fugue states, and Guides, empaths with the ability to ground a Sentinel and focus them. Sentinels are meant to protect Guides and it is said that for every Sentinel, there exists a Guide that is their perfect match. In some universes, when matches are made, a Sentinel and Guide form a soulbond to fill the feeling of emptiness.

How easy was it for you to find yours? How are Sentinels and Guides treated in your universe? Or maybe you're one of thenormalunremarkable people. Do you fear Sentinels and Guides? Despise them?

Rules

1) Post with your character/canon in the subject header.
2a) Choose whether your character is a Sentinel or a Guide
or
2b) If you don't know or don't care, just leave it blank!
3) Information about Sentinels and Guides can be found here and here. Information on 'The Sentinel' which this meme comes from can be found here.

4) All the tagging! Have fun 8D

Prompts

oo1. The Meeting:
How did you meet? Was it at an event organized specifically for finding your other half? By accident? Did you follow a mystical calling to them? Some other way?

oo2. The Bonding:
Do Sentinels and Guides in your universe soulbond? How does it go down? Is there a ceremony or do you just retreat to the bedroom?

oo3. Rejection:
Sometimes Sentinels or Guides propose a match but it's just not perfect. You don't feel the pull or maybe you think there is someone better or maybe you're already claimed. Maybe you were claimed and someone better came along?

oo4. Protection:
Sentinels are meant to protect Guides, any Guides, but it's even worse when they feel their Guide is in danger. They go feral; blind to anything but stopping and killing whoever threatened their Guide or the bond. Maybe someone attacked your Guide or you haven't bonded yet and you feel threatened or maybe you're the one doing the threatening. Whatever the reason, Sentinels in a feral state are dangerous and only their Guides can stop them.

oo5. Lost:
Sentinels often lose themselves in their senses. Either you're a Sentinel who has lost themselves or a Guide that has stumbled on one or a friend trying to draw them out. Unbonded Sentinels will find it hard to escape without a Guide. Or maybe you're bonded already which means you just need yours to come home.

006. Persecution:
Sometimes normal people or the government fear the power of Guides and Sentinels. Guides are empaths, feeling the emotions and sometimes passing thoughts of others and it can make people feel violated. Sentinels often have enhanced strength, which can make them dangerous. So they scorn them, hurt them or in the case of governments, regulate them.

oo7. Death:
Unbonded Sentinels and Guides eventually lose themselves to the empty cavern inside them. Torn apart from the inside by the feeling of something missing. Breaking the soulbond of a Sentinel and Guide is agonizing and horrifying, leading quickly to death for the remaining partner. Maybe your Sentinel protected you or old age got you or someone got sick and you're watching them die, knowing that you'll follow.

oo8. Old-School:
Guides used to be treated on the same level as slaves. Unable to work unless their Sentinel said. Not allowed out on their own. They used to wear collars and couldn't own land or inherit money. Maybe the old ways haven't completely fallen out of style.

oo9. Unbonded:
Nothing sucks more than being an unbonded Guide or Sentinel. Always looking for your other half to fill that empty feeling but you probably have friends that aren't your match or who are trying to set you up with someone. Maybe you're skeptical about the whole love at first sight thing and haven't been looking.

o10. Wildcard:
Some mish-mash of the above or anything else you can come up with!

the LIFE TATTOOS AU meme

what if tattoos just randomly appeared on our skin at key points in our lives and we had to figure out what they meant for ourselves? (x)

i. the blank slate: you don't have any tattoos. are you relieved? upset you don't have anything to tell? do you imagine sometimes what they'd look like if you had them?

ii. the moment: a tattoo has just appeared. is it your first? one of many? what's happening in your life to make it show up?

iii. the reveal: you finally understand what that tattoo means. is it a good thing? a bad thing? or something bittersweet?

iv. the tale: you and someone else are sharing stories about your tattoos. do you tell the truth? lie? only listen and never speak?

v. soulmates: these are the tattoos you and your soulmates share: the ones that mark you as bonded for life. what are they like?

v. the wildcard: there are many as many options as you can have tattoos. here's a place to make your own story.

The Reincarnated Lovers Meme

Everyone knows the feeling of when you see someone and you know you've seen them before. Isn't that a part of déjà vu? But what if the connection you have with that person goes beyond the superficial recognition of familiarity? Perhaps you were connected once...in the most intimate of ways. Some religions and philosophies believe in reincarnation of souls, and it's said that souls could be reincarnated together - once again to follow out the same path they did before. Or maybe not. Maybe it could be a second chance for fixing things that went wrong before, like the a tragedy or circumstances keeping you apart. But can you take that chance? Do you even want to? HOW TO PLAY Comment with your character, stating preferences and pertinent information. Tag around to others and roll the RNG to determine what your scenario will be. The first roll determines the parameters of the "past life," the second the parameters of the "present life." The meme is intended to take place in the present, but there's nothing stopping you from playing out flashbacks to the "past." Play out the scene! WARNING: There will probably be triggers here.		A. THE PAST Medieval: The two of you lived in the middle ages or an equal high fantasy setting. Kings, queens, knights, wizards, your doomed love was set among the sword and shield. Feudal Japan: During this time, honor reigned supreme and warriors lived and died by the sword. Perhaps the two of you lived here? War: World War I, World War II, World War...III? Whatever the tension was, the two of you weren't living in happy times. Not Human: You were gods, demons, monsters, angels - or at least one of you was. Sci-Fi: The two of you found love in a world of science and technology...maybe a base on the moon? Taboo: In a past life, the two of you were related, yet still somehow fell in love. Or perhaps there was a big age gap, or different social standings. Whatever it was, your affection was "wrong," somehow. Intended for Someone Else: One of you was engaged, intended, or taken by someone else. Not Allowed: For some reason, you couldn't have your love back then. Tragically Cut Short: Somehow, your love ended in tragedy and one of you died. Living Happily Ever After: The two of you grew old together, had a family, the whole shebang, and died of old age. As a reward, you get to be with your loved one again. WILDCARD or CHOOSE YOUR OWN B. THE PRESENT (Not So) First Meeting: You could swear you've seen this person before...but where? Need to Be Near You: You don't know why, but you have to be close to this person, to protect them, to love them. Memories: You're having memories of your past life and it's freaking you out. The Reveal: Somehow, the truth is revealed to you about who you used to be and what you life was like with this person. But I'm Taken: Unfortunately, you've already moved on to someone else who doesn't fit into the picture of your past. You Have to Be With Me: You're determined to rejoin with your past lover...even if they're not interested. He Doesn't See Me: You're afraid your lover only sees the past "you" and not the you who exists now. Are they in love with a memory? Madness Ensues: It's getting hard for you to tell which life is the "real" one, the one you have now or the one in the past. Perhaps you only see one way of release: becoming reincarnated again. It All Worked Out: The battles are fought, the war is one. You've earned your happy ending in this life and the two of you can live together. WILDCARD or CHOOSE YOUR OWN

The ❝Significant Other Experience❞ Meme

It's terrible to be so lonely, isn't it? There may be those of you who think you are just fine without someone to love, but you're truly not. Even if you have a significant other, ~~they may not be played~~ they could very well not be here in this massive multiverse with you - and that's just as good as being alone. No one deserves that feeling, not from the very kindness to the worst people in the world. There should be someone for everyone!

This is easy enough to achieve. Just a change in a few lines of code, really...

You wake up in a room in a place that could be described as your ideal, whatever that is. Modern, old-fashioned, futuristic, the setting is whichever you would be most comfortable with. Yet this new environment is not the most important feature here; instead, that honor goes to the fact that you are not alone. You are sharing this place, which seems familiar like a far-off dream, with another person. This person claims to be your significant other. But that can't be right, can it?

Still, they want to love you, show affection, like they claim you two "always are." That's...nice. Suddenly, you feel less alone, even if you never knew you felt that way before. There's emotional weight, there's contentment, there are arms to hold you and make you feel wanted.

Perhaps they're right. This is where you belong. After all, you're starting to remember, too, and everything is seeming more and more familiar.

For just a little while, why not have some peace?

ＰＡＳＳＥＮＧＥＲＳ

a sci-fi AU shipping meme

Honestly, it was quite the inevitability: with a population boom and diminishing resources, Earth has become so overpopulated that living comfortably has become impossible. This should be the end of the line...but humans are an industrious lot. As soon as space travel was possible, intrepid groups began to set out into the cosmos to find new suitable habitats among the stars. Of course, with discovery came the inevitable commercialism - companies use their luxurious, branded ships to shuttle average Joes across the sea of space so they can settle on equally luxurious, branded colonies promising answers to dreams and a chance at a new life. The price tag is steep, and one must be willing to be put in the necessary cryosleep (space travel is still a long, arduous journey, despite the fancy vessels), yet many are finding this voyage an attractive one.

And you, lucky you, have found yourself, through your own wealth, a valuable skill set, or virtually selling your soul, a passenger on one of these ships bound for a colony. Everything you'd ever hoped for will soon come true, in what will be for you a blink of an eye. In around one hundred years, you'll begin a new life when you wake up.

When you wake up, which is sooner than it should be. You wake, confused and disoriented, to realize there's been an accident. Your pod, one among thousands, has malfunctioned and you've been roused with ninety years still left on the itinerary. Ninety years for you to age. To get old, to die long before you reach your destination.

Ninety years to be alone.

Only you're not alone, it seems, as someone else has been ejected from their pod, as well. The two of you are complete strangers, left by the hands of fate to see no one living being but each other throughout several miles of twisted, cold steel and space locks. At the very least, however, you have years to get to know them.

...and, perhaps, more. After all, tragedy makes strange bedfellows and emotions may just run high when there's only one other person to turn to.

Tag others.
There is no better meme than this for cross-canon tagging or crack shipping because it's two randos stuck on a space ship, come on.

Prompts

Waking Up: Not an ideal meet cute. More like a meet-throw up because you're both doomed.
Growing Closer: There are wonderful things to do together on this ship - pools, restraunts, movies, gyms, you name it - or you could simply learn about each other.
Moment of Truth: It may be the cabin fever, but you can't imagine feeling stronger for any person than you do for your companion. You have to tell them that you want to be with them - in a romantic sense, not just a "we share the same space ship" sense.
Life Together: You've fallen into a sort of domestic routine.
The Obligatory Smut Option
Trying Times: The shit has hit every fan in the vicinity; the ship itself might fall apart or hit an asteroid. Think fast and save yourselves!
Fight: You're in a tiff or you've broken up. This won't get awkward, will it?
Unhappy Ending: One of you dies before the other, leaving one alone.
Happy Ending: You may not have reached your destination, still - you did find a new home.

Appearances Don't Matter

It all goes so well when people don't see you, so it's easier to hide away. And why wouldn't you want to keep away from the eyes of others? You're hideous to the world at large, despite your own opinions of yourself, no matter if you're human or otherwise. You don't appear to be anything most would want to be around, much less befriend. If you're human, your appearance could be chalked up to mutation, a freak chance at birth, or an an accident later in life; if you're not human, you just happen to exist in a place where those who look like you would never be accepted by the mainstream. Maybe it's not even your whole appearance, though. Your point of contention could be something like an injury or prosthetic that makes you feel not whole, though it may be insignificant in the view of the kind and open-minded. There's more comfort in covering that up and not letting anyone get close.

In any case, you don't expect someone to love you, be attracted to you, or even want to be with you, especially a beautiful someone. Yet somehow, somebody does...or, at least, it seems that way. Will this new development last? Can you put your demons at bay long enough for it to do so?

PROMPTS

Meeting | You've never seen anyone who doesn't balk at your appearance, but they don't.
Growing Close | It starts as a friendship or an alliance, the grows to- more?
Jealousy | There's no way they could see you as anything special. Surely, they have someone more handsome or beautiful in their sights.
Realizing Feeling | At first, you didn't realize how your heart was feeling just by them being around, but now it's becoming clear: you're falling for them.
Can't Tell Them | You'll ruin your bond with them should you tell them how you really feel. They'll be disgusted, so you'll keep mum.
Touch | They touch you without a hint of distaste, which could be a big plus compared to what you usually deal with.
No Difference | Actually, they can't tell that you're different, due to lack of vision or something similar. All they can discern is your personality.
The Way It Used to Be | You didn't use to look this way, and it's hard to come to terms with your new look and how it affects
Confession | You can't keep in your emotions anymore, or they accidentally get revealed.
Good | They share your feelings! You never could have imagined this, but you couldn't ask for more.
Bad | ...oh, you thought they...oh, they're so sorry.
Scared | "Friendship" nor a "relationship" was never on their mind. In fact, they're scared of you.
Cruel | All of their supposed kindness was actually just them using you for their benefit. To think, you really believed they cared about you!
Defense | They step on the line for you, standing up to those who'd consider you a monster or somehow lesser.
Uncovered | You're exposed and they can see everything you've tried to hide. You want to crawl into a hole and die. They want to keep you from feeling that way.
Shouldn't Be | People oppose your relationship, and there may be some points to the arguments.
Intimacy | Even being close, which most take for granted, could be a new and possibly uncomfortable event for you.
Smut | The obligatory smut option, with all the baggage, angst, and difficulties that may come with it.
Misunderstanding | You heard them insinuate that you're nothing but the ugly outside, or, at least, that's what you think came out.
Bad End | The messy breakup option...or worse.
Good End | The happy ending option...or better.
WILDCARD

SECRET ADMIRER meme

You're in love with them, but they don't know it and you have no real intention of changing this. Whether it's because you don't want to admit anything to yourself, can't handle rejection, don't think you're good enough, or have no real experience with this kind of thing, your lips are sealed...for now. And maybe forever, if you're contented to love them from afar.

That is, if the object of your affection doesn't figure you out first.

HOW TO PLAY

Comment with your character, preferences, and whether they'd be the admirer or the admired.
Reply to others.
RNG it or not.

PROMPTS

Meeting: How do you meet? Is it love at first sight?
Falling: You learn to love them, even if you never have before.
From Afar: You're not too close to them - they may not know you at all - but you still admire them. Whether "afar" means something like a different school, a different team, or a different world or walk of life is up to you.
Notice Me: You actually do want to be noticed. Please, senpai!~
Right in Front of You: The two of you are friends or allies, yet you're hiding your emotions in plain sight.
Denial: You? Love? No! Especially not with them...no, you weren't looking at them!
Jealousy: They don't know you're attracted to them, so you shouldn't feel mad when they're getting attention from others.
Too Shy Shy: The words just won't come out. Besides, you're too flustered by their presence in general.
Don't Deserve Them: You wouldn't want to subject them to you, anyway. They're too good.
Favors: Your love may not be known; still, you can do things for them or get them gifts, and they'll wonder who's doing all this. Their happiness is all you want, not their recognition.
Bad at This: So, about all those gifts or favors? You're not the sort to know about kindness and because of this, your shows of affection tend to be you offing their rivals or giving them stolen items.
Adorkable: You're awkward but it's endearing!
Never Expect the Quiet Ones: You barely speak, much less show how you feel. How could they know what you really think?
Lash Out: It's frustrating to have a crush you can't act on, so you've decided to act out...towards the one you love, perhaps to push them away.
Admission: Finally, you've decided to admit what you've felt all along.
Outed: Someone else has told your secret.
Caught: Maybe you were caught looking at them too much, speaking about your love out loud, or leaving them a gift. No matter what, the jig is up.
Content with Secrecy: You can admire them without saying a word. You're not conflicted in the least with living this life!
Requited: No more harboring secrets, as your feelings are returned.
Unrequited: ....ouch. Just ouch.
WILD CARD

From Completely Different Worlds

The two of you couldn't have, shouldn't have, crossed paths under any other circumstances. You're from two completely differing spheres: separated by class, by continent, by occupation, by age, by anything. You could both be from different worlds...literally! But distance means nothing now, because you've been tossed quite unceremoniously into each others' lives by some unusual event. Now, you must work together; soon, though, you realize you both have another common interest - each other. Fire-forged attraction is some of the strongest across all worlds, after all, and the sparks are flying.

Is it possible that the pair of you will realize your feelings for each other, or is the task at hand much more important? Will the ways in which you differ keep you apart, especially if one of you is a stranger in a strange land or time? Are you even really compatible? Sudden closeness and having to rely on someone can confuse feelings.

Most importantly, if you act on mutual desire, will you last as an item?

Run Away Together Shipping Meme

The two of you have decided to run away together. Bottom line, you've come up with that plan and you've worked up the guts and the means to do it. The most obvious source of a desire to leave together is a romance you can't have until you're gone from this place. It's like all the eloping that happened in those epics of old. How charmingly beautiful! How romantic! Who says the old ways have gone out of style?

But other reasoning behind the decision could be from the serious - you both want to escape imprisonment, an oppressive atmosphere, or a miserable destiny - to the more lighthearted. Maybe an adventure is just what you need, where you'll finally get to see the world...and, slowly, fall in love. Because that's what the crux of all this is: even if the escape started out as mere convenience, you both want to stay close and work together. In the end, when you've finally run where you want to be and the danger, if any, has passed, you may find you don't want to go your separate ways.

Run, run away, and never return. Or do.

I KNEW I LOVED YOU BEFORE I MET YOU

Finally, you're going to meet the person you've been developing feelings for. Aren't you excited?

Wait. What?

Well, it may be silly to say that, but you really never have seen them before. The two of you have communicated - extensively, actually - through means other than face to face. Typing via the internet, a sole parchment, letters, smoke signals, telepathy, words spoken through a crack in a fence, whatever your poison, you've struck up a bond through it. Companionship, definitely. Friendship, certainly...and maybe even more. Now, whether through planning or through complete accident, you're teaming up in person.

So, are you ecstatic to be around them after only talking for so long? Ready to let your emotions out and confess how they've made you feel? Hoping this meeting doesn't come to pass and they don't realize who you are because you've been fudging some details about yourself? Maybe this whole friendship started on a farce, but how you've come to think of them is absolutely real.

What to do, what to do? You have to admit, things were so much easier before you met them, despite how much you've come to lo-like them.

exploring each other meme

You've never had sex before. It's okay to admit it. Or maybe, if we're being generous, you've never had sex with this person before. Either way, you're in a similar position. You're just learning what this person likes.

After all, no one person is the same, especially not in the bedroom. Anyone knows that and if you don't...well, you're not in for a good time.

In any case, you love them or at least like them enough that you want to make them feel good. That's going to take a bit of testing the waters. What kind of touches do they like? How hard can you go? Of course, you may feel worried and awkward. You could hurt them, couldn't you, if you're much bigger than them? They seem so delicate. What if you bite? You could get too excited, and then they'd never, ever want to see you again. Or, worst of all, what if you...you know...too soon?

Hopefully, things won't get too awkward.

Don't leave your comment completely blank! Mention what you'd like to focus on - character development, partners learning about themselves and the other, awkwardness, humor, adorableness, or a mix of all that plus smut.

One Wrong Attraction

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

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

This meme is slightly inspired by this trope, but the setting can be anywhere and the genre anything.

WHO

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

HOW

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

The Love Like the Movies Meme

The fun thing about movies is that there are so many options, nearly something for everyone. Action, adventure, comedy, tragedy, whatever your taste, you'll probably find something at the cinema. One of the most popular genres, of course, is romance. But don't think it's just chick flicks: a lot of movies have love in them, and those relationships presented can be as varied as the films themselves.

In this meme, you'll get a chance to play out some of the scenarios made popular in films. Some are directly inspired by certain movies, others by common tropes. So grab your popcorn and your chocolate and getting ready for some lovin', Hollywood style!

1. Childhood Friends (Just Friends, etc): You were friends as kids, but you never noticed how much this person means to you until you're grown up. That, or they got really, really hot.

2. Beauty & the Beast (what do you think?): One of you has a charmed life and is beautiful, and the other is ugly- physically or otherwise- or has something else about them (a tragic past, a curse, etc) that society deems you as "broken" for.

3. Beauty & the Geek (The Breakfast Club, every John Hughes movie ever, etc): Maybe this is a high school AU, or maybe it's not. Whatever the case may be, one of you is hot, popular, and athletic, and the other is...not so much. Still, there's something here. Will both of you be willing to look outside your clique and bear the ridicule in order to be together?

4. The Tearjerker (Love Story, a ton of Nicholas Spark movies): The two of you are falling in love, and your relationship is perfect. Or it is until one of you finds out you're dying, whether it be of illness or other causes! Or maybe not dying, just leaving forever. Who knows, whatever the reason, the two of you won't be able to be together forever. What will you do? Break up to ease the pain, or continue on until the last moments?

5. I was Enchanted to Meet You/Fairy Tale Love (Enchanted, etc): Though it may be awkward at first, your relationship is straight out of a fairy tale! Sugary sweet with lots of slow realizations and cute scenarios; singing animals are optional. This kind of love (and the right princess, of course) can even make the most stoic of men melt. How does she know you love her?

6. It Was Just Sex (No Strings Attached, Zack & Miri Make a Porno, etc): You both agreed it was supposed to be just sex. Friends with benefits, that's it. Well, about that. One of you wants to be more than just friends. That won't mess things up, will it?

7. The Hookup Gone Wrong (Knocked Up, etc): You got somebody pregnant, they accidentally imprinted on you, you went through a mating-for-life ritual without noticing it, whatever you crazy kids do these days. Now you're stuck with someone, may as well learn to tolerate them. If you're lucky, tolerance can grow into fondness, and then...

8. As You Wish/The Princess and her Stable Boy (Princess Bride, etc): This person may be beneath you, but whatever the case, you've always taken them for granted. Will you see their love before it's too late...like something bad happening?

9. A Little Species Difference (Twilight, Underworld, etc): Love is love...even if you two don't have the luxury of being the same species. But who cares if you're a vamp and she's a human, or you're a demon and he's an angel? Okay, maybe the rest of your kind or society cares, and that may cause a few problems, but it all works out in the end, right?

10. For Richer or Poorer (Titanic, etc): The poor boy sees the rich girl and falls in love at first sight. Maybe this doesn't describe your relationship exactly, but there differences in your social classes. Will the people around you and their obsession with money drive you apart, or can you show them that blue collar and black tie can be as one?

11. This is Very Unprofessional (The Bodyguard, etc): For some reason, you're supposed to protect this person. For the benefit of this missions, it's better to keep emotions out of it- oops, you've fallen in love with your charge! Or perhaps, even worse, you've fallen in love with someone who should be your enemy or you were supposed to eliminate!

12. The Wedding Crasher (Romcoms, romcoms): The person you love is with someone else- maybe even about to take the plunge into marriage. But they should totally be with you, and you're about to show the world! Er, even if that means crashing their special day.

13. The Enemies turned Lovers (Romeo + Juliet, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, etc): Perhaps the oldest story in the book, people from warring factions overcoming hate to give into their love for each other. Need I say more?

14. I Want You to Want Me (10 Things I Hate About You, etc): Ahh, hate growing to love. A staple of teen movies and romantic comedies for many years. That's because it works! There's just something about the chemistry you feel with someone you can't stand changing into a desire to actually be close to this person. After all, they say there's a thin line between love and hate.

15. The Comedic Misunderstanding (The Proposal, every romcom ever, etc): Oh no! You just heard the guy you love call you ugly to his friend! You saw the girl of your dreams with another man! Surely this means you're doomed and hated and you'll be forever alone! Oooor maybe it was just a misunderstanding- NOPE. DOOMED AND HATED AND FOREVER ALONE.

16. This Isn't A Love Story (500 Days of Summer, etc): Not all love ends with happily ever after. Sometimes there are just plain endings- very, very messy ones with lots of hate. So whoo keeps the dog, the apartment, and the IKEA furniture, you mad hipsters exes? Well, deciding that's part of the fun!

17. Find Something Better (Yet another romance cliche): You've broken up with somebody and totally sworn off of relationships for good! Nope, nobody is going to make you love agai- darn it! That free spirit made you love again! Shoot. Well, you don't have to let the- damn it, you let them into your heart, didn't you?

18. It All Worked Out in the End (almost every movie): You've been through lots of disasters and trials, maybe even years worth of separation, so now you've earned your life as a happy couple. Enjoy it!

19. Love at First Sight (many a movie): The obligatory love at first sight, which seems to dominate a lot of movies. You see this person and you know they're the one! Now you just have to win them over.

20. Mistaken Identities (I'm pretty sure a Mary Kate and Ashley movie was like this): You've fallen in love with someone, but while they love you, it's not the real you they love. They think you're someone else because of a misunderstanding, your own designs, or something along those lines. Can you risk telling them the truth and get them to love you for you, or will you live a lie?

21. Good Girl/Bad Boy (Grease, etc): I got chiiiills, they're multiplyin'! One of you is a goody-goody (at least in some capacity), while the other is from the wrong side of the tracks (what tracks?). It's dangerous, but there's something thrilling about danger. Still, are you sure this isn't just summer lovin'? If you really care for this person, maybe you can make it work.

22. WILDCARD

♕ King or Queen in Their Castle Meme ♔

You may or may not be the type who wants to lead or boss others around, but EVERYONE wants to be in charge once in a while - or at least have things go their way. Think of this, then consider your dream living situation. That ideal can be as varied as what "being in charge" means. Some would love to have nothing more than a simple life in a simple home with a warm meal a day, while others would prefer a castle with servants and a crown on their heads. Dream big, after all.

Now, imagine that, having your own way, and the cherry on top: a lover who will be at your beck and call. Not because you demand it, but just because they want to dote on you. That could be nice, couldn't it? They wouldn't be a total pushover, that's no fun, yet they'd know your whims nearly before you do and make sure. This includes all aspects of life, from making sure you're eating well to assuring that you're comfortable after a long day. Of course, their care includes sex as well. Lots and lots of sex; emotional fulfillment is important. It doesn't mean that they'd have your submissive. On the contrary, actually. Unless that's what you want. Or you could very well be theirs. They'd be here to cater to you, your kinks, and your tastes.

Don't just dream all this, be all this. You're going to be living it...at least for the moment.

Comment with your character, preferences, and information. Do you want to be the one living this new life or the "partner" providing? If the former, feel free to include as much or as little detail as you'd prefer, from talking about ideal housing, home environment, food, sexy clothing, what have you or to just saying what kind of dynamic you're looking for with your character. If the latter, include what your character could bring to the metaphorical table.

NEAR MISS/CLOSE CALL MEME

Ever been in a life-and-death situation? No? Maybe you will be now. Something is happening, something horrible, and you're about to die. Maybe someone you love is about to die. Or someone you hate. Maybe you're the danger itself. Either way, you (or your prey) get out by the skin of your (their) teeth. How close was it really? Is someone in deep shit? Alternatively, this can be used for something else: regular life situations. Miss someone at the dance you want to see, can't catch that criminal you need to put away, whatever. The world is your oyster!

MAKING UP MEME

No, that doesn't say making out. It says making up. Now, if making up leads to making out then rad. But here's the gist: you've had a fight, an argument, a family feud that's gone on for decades, whatever. It's time to bury the hatchet. Make up, make amends, do whatever it takes. It doesn't matter what's on the line: family, friends, love, your job, an ice cream cone, the end of the world: you're going to fix things.

VICTORIAN ERA AU MEME

Have you ever just felt like you were born in the wrong time? No? Good, because the past actually sucks. Anyway, it's still interesting to shove your characters into those time frames, so right now it's time for Victorian Era Shenanigans. You know you're intrigued.

SOCIAL STANDING

• UPPER CLASS This is divided into three sections: royal class, which at the time was royal family and spiritual leaders. The middle upper class was for officers, baronets, and lower level lords. The lower upper class included your general rich asshole: wealthy families and large scale businesspeople that built their fortunes.
• MIDDLE CLASS Middle class is in two subsections, higher and lower. The only differentiation here was between salaries and social standings. Higher middle class was more likely to be able to secure any kind of upward mobility. Lower middle class people usually worked under higher middle class. A mid-level merchant as opposed to the person working for them.
• WORKING CLASS Working class were the hard laborers and tradespeople - the skilled class and the unskilled class. Think an undertaker as opposed to a gravedigger.
• UNDER CLASS The lowest of the low in society's eyes, we have the poor: people who were destitute and relied on the charity of others, orphans; and prostitutes, who were under much debate at the time as far as decency went. Also, they were being murdered by Jack the Ripper, so you know, ymmv.

GENRES

• ROMANCE Did you know that Anne Brontë wrote what is considered the first sustained feminist novel in a Western society? Well, now you do. In this, take your main characters, watch them suffer for 300 pages, and eventually they'll realize they're meant for each other. It's all a bit gothic though, isn't it? Dreary, brooding. Sometimes awful things happen. But we've got love (sometimes) and marriage (more often) in the end.
• HORROR Did you know that a vampire is haunting this small town? Werewolves the next town over? Ghosts in every manor? Did you hear about that scientist that went mad? What kind of place is this? Maybe that masqued ball isn't a good idea.
• SCIENCE FICTION You've got a time machine, or you live in a steampunk dystopia set in Victorian times. Perhaps you have a flying machine that's quite advanced or you've traveled to the bottom of the sea or the center of the earth.
• MYSTERY Do you want to be the greatest detective that ever lived? Or perhaps their sidekick. You're not as bumbling as people 200 years from now may try to say you are. Solve thefts, catch Jack the Ripper (good riddance), do whatever! Just put your brains to the test.
• SLICE OF LIFE The simple things. Perhaps you're a lord throwing an expensive party. Perhaps you're showing off your charity by inviting the lower classes. Perhaps you're a merchant on a trade ship to another place. It's your daily life and you're living it. Just be yourself.
• FANTASY Perhaps you want something lighter. You want to travel down the rabbit hole or through the looking glass or be a princess or live in a fairy tale meeting mystical creatures.

As always, these are just suggestions and you can pick your scenario from your genre. Also, not all examples are Victorian era but we do what we want in these parts because the meme cops aren't going to get us (even though we're not them). Make up anything you want, as long as you're having fun! Make sure to post a short backstory in your top level comment so people know how to work with your AU!

MAKING MAGIC MEME

Magic is something intensely intimate. Whether it's something inherent in you from when you're born or something drawn out in rituals and summonings, it's full of depth and wonder and potential dangers. Maybe you're showing someone that doesn't have magic what you can do, maybe you're sharing magic with someone you love, winding things together. Maybe you're heading out with some friends to make a salt circle and bring someone back from the dead. The point is you're not in it alone. You're sharing in this intimacy whether it's new for you or old hat. Take care of yourselves and each other; hope that the person you know isn't prejudiced against magic.

• Top level your character. Include any details you might think are relevant. Or don't. As always, we're not the cops.
• Naturally you can AU your characters to have magic or AU them into other canons that have magic! Don't let a "mundane" setting deter you.

NOT JUST A WEAPON

You don't have delusions of grandeur. You've never been more than a pawn, a tool to be used by others. A hammer to wield, worth only the power to destroy and not much else. That was the reality you knew, at least, until this person looked at you and you alone. Not your usefulness, only you. They were the first to treat you like you weren't below everyone, like you belong -

maybe by their side? Maybe that's a place where it's worth fighting to stay.

This meme was mostly made with shipping in mind, but you can do gen if you want idk it's your life. Just be clear with what you want.

the afterlife meme

You're at the end. you've kicked the bucket. you've passed on. the point is you're dead. And however that end came out it's time for you to face the afterlife. Where will you go? Who will you meet? How old are you? What was your end like?

It's time to meet your end.

i. HEAVEN - Nirvana, Shangri La, Elysium, either way your good life has paid off and you are now paid off with eternal happiness.

1) PEACEFULLY. You died at peace, you've done all you can with your time and you came to your natural end. Now it's time to meet with those who left you behind.

2) A HERO. You died a hero. Celebrated by many. It's only fair that you get to rest.

3) TOO SOON. You died too soon, perhaps an innocent victim of some villain, or in an accident. However one thing is for certain, you shall rest peacefully here.

4) A VICTIM. A victim of a horrible circumstance, a painful death. Your end wasn't pleasant, but your afterlife will be.

5) GUILT. You don't feel you deserve to be here. Not with all the suffering that's left behind, with your actions. Others should be here. Not you.

6) WILDCARD. Anything and everything else.

ii. HELL - Brimstone and fire. Tortured until the end of time. This is the "bad" place to end up. At least you may run into some interesting people.

1) A THE TOP. You died at the top, everyone suffering, the world at your feet. And yet look at where you are now.

2) JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS. You were just following orders. Doing what your superiors told you to do... and yet here you are.

3) DEFEATED. Unfortunately the "good guys" won, spoiling your plans. Everything you had hoped for was toppled over.

4) GUILT. Now is the best time to repent and reflect on the evil you have caused....

5) SURPRISE. No good deed goes unpunished. Perhaps what you thought was the right thing to do was really the wrong path. Maybe you had been misled. Whatever happened, you ended up here now.

6) WILDCARD. Anything and everything else.

iii. SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN - Perhaps your in purgatory.... or in the final crossroads before you and others who have passed on must part. However, you're somewhere in between...

1) FINAL GOODBYE. One last meeting between friends, enemies. Just passing spirits.

2) FIRST MEETING IN A WHILE. It's been long. Way too long.

3) I CAME TO FIND YOU. You have fought through heaven and hell to see this person. To try and find them.

4) VISITATION. Perhaps you were both allowed a visitation between two different realms

5) WILDCARD. Anything and everything else.

iv. WILDCARD - Anything and everything in between. Any scenario, afterlife, situation that you could possibly imagine. The skeleton war, perhaps.

the prince & princess trope meme

DIRECTIONS:
oo1. comment with your muse & add preferences in the subject
oo2. use RGN to get your prompt (1-20)
oo3. tag around and have fun!
oo4. don't forget to avoid those dragons. unless you like dragons.

oo1. Badass Princess ♛ She is no ordinary princess—she wouldn’t be interesting if she was, now would she? No, this girl does not need a knight to save her, not when she can often use a sword better than he. But what happens when she gets in over her head?

oo2. The Wise Prince ♛ Often, this prince isn’t the sweet and charming one you see running around the woods hunting deer and the like. Nope, he’s stuck in meetings and taking care of paperwork, ensuring his people are happy. Can someone convince him to take a break?

oo3. Daddy’s Little Villain ♛ This is new. A beautiful as she might be, beware: this girl is just like her evil sorcerer uncle or father, and is twice as crafty. Girls can’t be evil villains, after all, so that means she has something to prove. Good luck!

oo4. Prince Charmless ♛ He was supposed to be kind and honorable, brave and generous, but it turns out that he is the exact opposite of all your dreams. Demanding or cold, a total jerk, or just an annoying pain in the butt, he is no royal ideal.

oo5. Fallen Princess ♛ It might not have been her fault, or it might have been. Either way, this princess no longer holds a royal status, and is living amongst commoners. Is it a secret? Is she a princess in hiding? Or is she just biding her time?

oo6. The Evil Prince ♛ Such a lovely smile! But watch out for those sneaky eyes. A prince doesn’t have to be a wonderful example of humanity. Sometimes, he wants what everyone else does: more money, more land, more power, but he can get it with some planning.

oo7. Princess Classic ♛ Think Disney: she is the epitome of perfection, beautiful and always kind, more than willing to be a merciful ruler, and always under some pesky spell that denies her one true love for a while. But is it so great living up to such expectations?

oo8. The Warrior Prince ♛ Forget about castles and rolling hills with trouble brewing outside of the kingdom. Determined and honorable or jaded and cold, this kind of prince knows what the battlefield is like. But can he learn to relax or handle a peaceful meeting well?

oo9. Princess In Rags ♛ Cinderella knows exactly what this means. Like a fallen princess, she has been forcibly stripped of her wealth, title, and decent clothing. However, she doesn’t let that put her down. Good times will come back to her, but how?

o10. The Rebel Prince ♛ Maybe he doesn’t want to rule. Maybe he wants to go out and kill that dragon, or maybe he has left a princess at the altar. This prince has a rebellious streak and nothing can stop him from his goals. But where will his hotheadedness take him?

o11. Spoiled Brat ♛ She is totally not a princess, not the kind we like to think of anyways. Rude and demanding, she never thinks of anyone but herself, or if she does, then it’s always for some other selfish reason. Can someone teach her a lesson?

o12. The Changeling ♛ It’s a hard thing to do, but sometimes the royal heir has to be hidden away for his own safety. But there is always something that makes them stick out. Be it a birthmark or their own natural talents, how does he discover his true lineage?

o13. Well, Excuse Me, Princess! ♛ What is her problem? This guy has bent over backwards for her, and all he wants in return is a little credit or maybe an appreciative kiss on the cheek. But maybe she does like him, or there is some pesky princess protocol stopping her.

o14. The Cursed Prince ♛ It’s not just princesses who get placed under curses. Guys do too! But what horror has befallen our beloved prince? Is he ugly? Can he not speak? Is he now some horrible beast? Or is he under a sleeping spell waiting true love’s first kiss?

o15. Winter Royal Lady ♛ A princess is one thing, but a Queen of Winter is another. It’s a step up, and for another, whatever season or entity you choose to be the sole ruler of, you can bet it gives you a lot more credit and power too. Don’t let it get to your head!

o16. The Dethroned Prince ♛ He’s brooding and angry, and maybe he deserved to be dethroned. Then again, he could be the dashing prince who has to run from the law because it’s turned against him and the people, doing his best to bring back true justice to the land!

o17. Girl In The Tower ♛ It’s one of the most classic tropes, a princess stuck in a tower guarded by magic spells or dragons. Sometimes it’s for her own safety, or because of a curse, or because someone wants to use her. Can you free her? Or does she even want freedom?

o18. The Sheltered Prince ♛ He doesn’t know a thing about life outside of the palace, and that isn’t quite his fault. At least he wants to learn about the outside world and improve himself, right? Have some patience and show him around. This prince could surprise you!

o19. Fairytale Ending ♛ It is the goal of every fairytale we have come to know, and the goal of most stories. Who doesn’t like a happy ending? The trick is, though, how to get to it. What trials will you go through? What is your happily ever after anyways?

o20. Roll Again ♛ Looks like you get to decide your own fate by picking your own adventure, or leaving it up to chance again!

i call you to my side

Through mythology and into fantasy, the thought of calling on supernatural beings to do our bidding and extend our power awes and delights. In works where summoned spirits have thoughts and wills and personalities of their own, the bond between summoner and familiar can be like no other...

One character is a being of magic, and the other holds their reins. Loyalty or resentment, trust or caution...there's so many ways to keep a spirit, and so many ways to regard a master.

HOW TO PLAY:

- Comment with character. State your preferences - summoner, familiar, or both, shipping permissions, and any pertinent information or premise ideas.
- Comment to others. Play whatever first comes to mind, mix and match prompts to build a scenario, or RNG it.
- Have fun and play nice!

PROMPTS:

SUMMONER - Why was a familiar summoned?

1. Personal servant. In this world, it's normal to summon supernatural creatures to help you manage the responsibilities of everyday life. Some people have a bit more responsibility on their plate - a familiar could keep an apartment or garden clean, or they could be charged with keeping a wealthy heiress' personal books and screening her appointments - but whatever the arrangement, it's just a part of normal, everyday life.

2. Self-defense. There's trouble brewing, and the world is dangerous for someone in your line of work, whatever that may be. Can you trust a human bodyguard? Even if you can, a familiar is sure to be much more efficient at keeping you alive and unharmed.

3. A good offense. You're not one for sitting around and waiting - there's a mission to be done and a battle to be won, and your familiar is with you for combat purposes first and foremost. Maybe it colors your relationship - is this spirit just a weapon, or could you grow to be fond of each other?

4. Technical applications. When one's work involves a lot of fiddly magic, it's only common sense to have a magical being on hand to keep it running more smoothly. A familiar that can store and channel magic is an essential component in many spells, and sometimes, a spirit is just plain better at certain spells than a human assistant would ever be. Whether you're in a lab, a doctor's office, a factory, or just in a home workshop, it's important to be on the cutting edge of magitechnology.

5. In over your head. This summoning wasn't intentional. You found this book, see, and tried out a spell for kicks, and now you're facing a lease violation for making the building smell like brimstone...

6. A temporary arrangement. This summoning was intentional, but you didn't really have any long-term plans. It was a flight of fancy, or just an opportunity to study the process, and now you need to consider how to send it back, or else what you're going to do with it.

7. Status symbol. This isn't about what the spirit can do - not directly, at least. No, having a familiar is all about the looks for you, because there's someone you need to impress. Maybe a lot of someones. Maybe it wasn't even your idea, and you're just folding to societal expectations. But your reputation is hanging on having this familiar, so you'd better make it work.

8. Like white on rice. Your familiar isn't for anything in particular; the two of you have just been together for too long to ever consider parting. Circumstance or fondness made you lifelong partners. But as much as you're sure that you could never see the other as a tool, the facts of being summoner and familiar are clear, and sooner or later you'll have to turn your personal relationship into a working one - or else the trouble you're facing will eat you alive. Summoners and familiars give, but they also must take...

9. Secondhand spirits. Someone else summoned this familiar, but now it's in your hands. Did their first master die before their time? Was this a rescue operation of sorts? Or are you just a dirty thief? Whatever the situation, familiars are notoriously picky about their masters. Taking in one that's already bonded to another summoner is sure to be an interesting experience.

FAMILIAR - What is the nature of a familiar?

1. From another world. Working with some familiars can be a lot like working with a regular person; they had lives of their own before you called them to this world, though the details of those lives may seem alien to you. It's recommended to treat these spirits these spirits well, like you would treat an employee, or a friend. Just remember, they are still magical beings.

2. Animal companion. Pyewacket, Greedigut, Vinegar Tom...everyone knows the best familiars are the ones you can find just outside your back door. Once bound to its master, a familiar can gain all kinds of fantastic powers, from shapeshifting to prophecy and more. And if you live in a world where the local wildlife is twelve feet long and breathes fire on top of that, well, good for you!

3. Demons. Summoning is a tricky business when you're dealing with sinister forces. Familiars from the netherworld are known to overwhelm unprepared summoners, or betray their trust even years into a working relationship. They who would be a demon's master, pay close attention to the balance of power...

4. Guardians. Some spirits are unquestionably good, or at least unquestionably devoted to their master's well-being; some arrive from the heavens, and some have been sworn to protect a place or bloodline since they first came into being. The difficulty with these is mostly acquiring them in the first place, but sometimes an overprotective guardian spirit can cause more trouble than you bargained for.

5. One being as two. Where better to acquire a loyal spirit than from your own head? Or heart, or something. A familiar created from its summoner's own soul is sure to be more faithful and understanding than any other, capable of telepathy and bound to its master wherever they go. The downside? The well-being of these familiars is linked directly to their summoners' health, and vice-versa. Pieces of soul don't make good meatshields.

6. Homunculus. Blood and mud and who knows what else. A familiar can be created whole-cloth from raw materials, born into the world without any prior memory, to serve its master and creator. Is this a happy relationship, or is rebellion on the horizon?

Bright Spot

The world can sometimes seem like a cold, wicked place, and more than likely, it actually is a cruel place. For days, months, years on end, you never catch a break, everything falling to pieces as soon as you pick it up. Maybe, despite this, you still try your hardest. There has to be a light at the end of the tunnel, doesn't there? The fates don't play favorites, so surely your number is about to come up. Or maybe you've given up and decided to allow yourself to barely float along with only bouts of anger or bitterness to keep you above water. There is no light anywhere, is there?

But there is. There's one bright spot in your life - a person who makes everything worthwhile.

It doesn't really matter how they came to you. What does is that they stay. Whether you admit it or not, you seek comfort from them...and, perhaps, them from you, if you're in the same situation.

So, whether you push them away, treat them right, or go so far as to worship them and put them on a pedestal, you don't want them to go now. You crave being with them, or at least being in their presence. Don't ruin this for yourself. After all, what would you do without your little ray of light? You'll do anything to keep them happy and loved. Anything.

Intimacy is NOT necessarily about full sexual contact. Intimacy is all about two people forming a connection and bond between them. That involves becoming best friends, trusting each other, knowing each other, understanding each other. Intimacy is grown and developed, it can't be rushed.

Nonsexual forms of intimacy can add a great deal of depth and variety to fiction. On one end of the spectrum, they provide extra steps to support the journey from meeting a potential mate through romance, sex, and marriage. In the middle, they convey the import of family and professional connections, distinguishing those from more casual acquaintances. On the other end, they form much of the glue in primary relationships for people who don't base their ties on sexuality. Sex is valuable, but it's not everything.

PROMPTS

Hair care. Brushing, braiding, washing, cutting -- all of these involve a lot of careful touching in ways that many people enjoy. Hair braiding is a bonding experience in some cultures. In fact, grooming is a bonding technique for social primates in general. People without close ties to others often treat themselves to regular salon visits as a socially acceptable way to meet the need for touch and interaction.
Shaving. This involves an unusually high level of trust, especially if the person is using a straight-edge razor or something else with an exposed blade rather than just a buzzer. Although it can apply to women, shaving is one of the few forms of physical intimacy that is most closely associated with men due to their facial hair. Initiaton into shaving is a major milestone for becoming a man, not just for boys during puberty but also for transsexuals during transition.
Bathing. This varies by culture; in America most people bathe alone but some other cultures practice communal bathing. A bath is usually more intimate than a shower, although a public bath can be non-intimate and small shower stall can be intimate. It's also different when two people wash each other (an exchange of intimacy and affection) than when one person washes someone else (more of a caretaking or protective gesture).
Feeding. A classic romantic motif involves lovers feeding each other, but it works as a way of providing and caring for someone in any context. Like bathing, it can also clue whether both parties are participating equally or one is taking care of the other (temporarily or regularly). This one has an existential flavor since survival depends on food supply.
Seeing someone without their adaptive equipment on. This includes glasses, dentalware, prosthetic limbs, a wheelchair, etc. Adaptive equipment is part of one's presentation to the everyday world, and taking it off can be as intimate as removing clothing, for many people in many contexts.
Holding Hands. There can be many reasons for this gesture. Physical closeness, offering comfort, or staying together in a crowd, all may have you reaching for someone.
Undressing someone. This can be kind of a one-way experience if the recipient isn't awake, and is often awkward for both people if they are awake. Sometimes it happens because hands are out of commission, but a more common example is someone passing out drunk. Overheating is another good reason. Different circumstances can imply different levels of intimacy.
Sharing secrets. This especially applies to talking about personal issues that aren't widely known. An exchange of secrets is a common ritual between "best friends" among girls and women, but appears elsewhere as well. Some things are only discussed among people with a common reference; veterans may be more comfortable discussing war memories with each other than civilians.
Ordering for someone in a restaurant. Acquiring food, without asking the other person what to get, shows a knowledge of their needs and desires. Providing food is also a gesture of support and sustenance.
Providing moral support at a major event. Helping someone get through a funeral, a trial, or other intense but not crisis situation is usually performed by a very dear friend. This is a situation where lovers or family members may be too close to the matter to be much use.
Crying on someone. When you cry, you tend to let your guard down. Most of the people close to you will see you cry at some point, so that can be a milestone in a relationship. Actually crying on someone, letting them hold you, is even more intimate.
Serving in a primary role for someone during a wedding. This includes the best man or maid of honor at a wedding, or stand-in for absent parents, etc. as well as the traditional family roles. One aspect of intimacy is sharing each other's lives, including ceremonies and transitions.
Comforting someone after a bad breakup. Moments of great vulnerability can bring people closer. While this role sometimes falls to family, breakup repair more often goes to a woman's female friends or a man's male friends.
Listening to someone's heartbeat or breathing. Close body contact, enough to carry soft personal sounds, tends to be comforting as well as connecting, as it touches on positive childhood memories for most people. It is shared between parent and child, sometimes between siblings, and later between lovers. Tight nonsexual partners may also do this.
Putting someone to bed. Interestingly, this activity can happen among people who are just getting to know each other -- most often if someone passes out drunk, but exhaustion can have a similar effect. It's a gesture of caring to put someone to bed rather than leave them where they drop. A milder version involves draping a blanket or coat over a person asleep on a couch or the like.
Sleeping in the same bed. This is an act of shared vulnerability and intimacy. Lovers customarily do this; so do some siblings or friends, especially as children. People may also be driven to share a bed, sleeping bag, etc. for warmth or lack of other accommodations in challenging circumstances.
Watching someone sleep. There is more vulnerability on the part of the sleeper, and more intimacy from the watcher, when only one person is asleep. Parents often watch their children sleep. Lovers sometimes do this with each other, which can be cute or creepy. It's also a guard position, useful for showing that one character seeks to protect another.
Waking someone up from a nightmare. A subtler form of rescue than more physical actions, this is still a gesture of protection and caring. It often leads to comfort afterwards. A typical courtesy between parent and child, or lovers, this can also be an early threshold for characters thrust together unexpectedly if one of them has sturdy daytime walls and a lot of issues. It is common, but often unspoken, among war buddies or veterans, many of whom have nightmares.
Sharing clothes, jewelry, other personal items. This is common between siblings or close female friends. Sometimes roommates do it too. Wearing someone else's shirt or bathrobe is typical in romantic relationships, so can suggest a similar level of intimacy even in the absence of sex.
Cleaning someone else's living space. This shows care and knowledge on the part of the cleaner, and trust on the part of the recipient. You have to know what NOT to throw away or move. It's typical of family members and roommates. Coworkers may clean each other's desk, office space, etc.
Living together. This is a big step, even if it's just for a little while. Housemates are in each other's pockets; it's hard to keep secrets. Family members and lovers often live together, but housemates who are family-of-choice form a category of their own. If you don't want a romantic partner, a permanent housemate is a good choice for someone to share your life with.
Childbirth. Attending the blessed event entails providing a lot of moral support for hours under high stress. It can create a bond with the baby as well as with the mother. When planned, this opportunity is only offered to the closest family members or friends, barring professionals. But it can happen by surprise in very awkward circumstances, a popular motif in fiction.
Saving someone's life. Quick action in a life-threatening situation demonstrates how much one person values another. This can create a strong sense of connection, and sometimes obligation. It often, though not always, entails personal risk for the rescuer. This is fairly typical for military buddies or police partners, etc.
Risking your life for someone. Placing someone else ahead of your own life shows their importance to you unequivocally. This often, though not always, involves trying to save or protect another person. While it can create a sense of gratitude, it frequently causes anger as well -- someone who loves you will generally object to you endangering yourself, even to protect them. Military and police buddies protect each other regularly.
Making emergency decisions for someone. This reveals both how well you know the person, and how much you care about them -- whether you know what they would want, and act on it even if it differs from your personal preference. Unlike some of the other options, in this one the initial action is often outweighed by the aftermath. Both characters have to deal with the results of the decisions, good or bad.
Deathwatch. Dying can be as intimate as giving birth. Staying with someone while they pass is an act of love; so is providing moral support to someone sitting deathwatch for a family member or other person. Many soldiers and police have done this for someone.

the ROMANTIC SMUT meme

The cliche of each person having one great love in their life is often overblown; after all, not everyone has a great and epic relationship, nor do they need it. But it can be fun to play out a love that cannot be spoken, just like any strong emotions are interesting to explore. And when words aren't enough? There are always actions.

Simple, pure, and straightforward, this meme is about people truly in love letting that affection become physical. It's a smut meme, though more emphasis is put on the relationship rather than the raunch...or there could be focus on both. Whatever approach you take is up to you. It's as basic as that, and the perfect excuse to play something sweet, romantic, or passionate.

First Relationship - You've been with someone before. You've never been in a relationship, though, and that takes things to a new level.

So Innocent - The experience difference makes you feel guilty, but it also makes you want to dote on your partner.

Naughty - You really shouldn't. They're busy, you're in a inconvenient location, whatever the situation may be. You really shouldn't have your hands on them...but you do.

Changed by You: Your love for someone has made you a better person, perhaps even driving you to turn over a new, nicer leaf. Or maybe we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves, right?

CHOOSE YOUR OWN

Simply Together

Can you ever get a moment of peace?

You're never able to relax around people; instead, you're constantly on edge, with the very presence of others feeling somewhere between grating and unsettling. Or, at least, that's how it used to feel, like you were about to fall off that edge at any moment. But not any more. You've found the one person you enjoy spending time with and can be comfortable around. What are they to you? A lot. More than you can say. Still, you don't see the need for labels. Both of you are just enjoying being here together. It's that easy. It's that comfortable. They're one steady point in this crazy world, and you never have to put on airs around them.

Whether you need someone to comfort you, decompress or share hobbies with or simply offer a shoulder to lean on in silence, relax. They've got you covered, and, for once, you don't have to keep your walls up. Take the edge off.

Alone No More meme

You've always been lonely, as long as you can remember. Perhaps its your appearance that drives other aways, your attitude, your personality, your dangerous lifestyle or even your circumstances beyond your control. By your own design or no, out of necessity or not, all that matters is you've never had a true companion, not really.

Until you meet another freak, someone else incredibly different...someone who also wants to stay with you.

The circumstances, good or bad, under which you met don't matter, because you're not alone anymore. In fact, this person makes you want to look past any self-loathing or low self-esteem you may have and be better. At least they do on some level. Why they care, you don't entirely know. One thing is for certain, however: you'll do anything to keep them safe and by your side. Your situation may just come in handy, for once.

This was designed as a sort of shipping meme, but you can absolutely play gen or otherwise, if you'd like.

SPACE OPERA AU

A space opera is defined as "a subgenre of science fiction that emphasizes space warfare, melodramatic adventure, interplanetary battles, as well as chivalric romance, and often risk-taking." Star wars is probably the most well known example, but one could also look to the Gundam or Macross series, some parts of Star Trek, Guardians of the Galaxy, Battlestar Galactica, Jupiter Ascending, Legend of Galactic Heroes, or maybe even Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

This meme is for all your overly dramatic space adventure needs. Leave a comment with your character's name and canon and maybe a few AU ideas or prompt preferences, then look around and tag other people and blow up some spaceships.

HERE ARE SOME PROMPTS IF YOU'RE FEELING UNINSPIRED

1. Commanders
You have your fleet of horribly beweaponed starships. They have theirs. Who will win, and what can you learn about someone from how they maneuver their fleet?

2. Boarding operation
Okay, so...you lost. Now the enemy is here, burning a hole in the side of the ship so they can come on board and probably not do anything good. Prepare to make your last stand.

4. Xenophilia
"But how can I love you, when you are an Earthling and I am a Martian? It has never been done before!"

5. Space-balls
No, not the movie. The party. The upper crust of the galactic federation (or whatever) gathers today to have a bit of fancy fun. Beautiful music, tasty snacks, fabulous outfits, and outside the windows you can see alien world, spreading out to the horizon or hanging below the space station like a giant glittering marble. Are you used to this kind of thing, or did your invitation arrive by accident? Maybe you didn't get invited at all!

6. Enemy Mine
Your people and their people have been at war for who knows how long, but now circumstances are forcing you to work together. When the alternative is death at the hands of a mutual enemy or a hostile environment, maybe your foe isn't quite so unrelateable as you thought.

7. Repairs
The reactor's going critical. Or there are mines stuck to your hull. Or you need to get the engines working before you drift into an asteroid field. In the depths of space, there's no room for fucking up.

8. Space Royalty
"Ladies an gentlemen, all bow before the Queen of Jupiter, and her escort the Duchess of Orion."

9. First Contact
The first time your species has met their species face to face. Maybe you're diplomats, meeting under formal circumstances and representing your entire race. Maybe you're both out in the depths and both happened to see the same asteroid you wanted to build a mine on.

10. Fly boys (or girls)
Battleships slug it out in the background, but we all know the real excitement is taking place on a smaller scale. Pilot a space fighter, or a mecha of some kind, and having thrilling dogfights in space! Then live to tell the tale and go to a bar to brag about how awesome you are to attractive strangers!

11. Space Pirates
Avast me hearties! Shiver me timbers and draw up the solar sail. Fly the skull and crossbones! Grab your blasters and put on your space suits! I've got an Earthling freighter right in me sights that's just BEGGING for us to become closer acquainted!
