Looking for




"What Are You Looking For?"

We writers know what kind of CR we have in mind for our characters, but what is it that our characters are looking for? Do they want a new friend, a steamy hook-up, a sparring partner, a new nemesis? Are they actively on the hunt for love? Do they even know?

Maybe they're not looking for anything at all, and they're content with what they have.

Or... maybe they're desperate for human connection of any kind, but internal hang-ups surrounding vulnerability and intimacy are standing in their way.

What fun!
  • No blank top-levels.
  • Instead, characters are to respond to the proposed question: what are you looking for?
  • Tag around! Maybe you'll find it!

Catch 'em all - the one with the most wins



KISS IS ON MY LIST


You've been making a list like you're the big guy in red and now, it's time to collect some smooches you've been dreaming of!

how to play.
- Open up, it's the meme police!
- Comment with your character, preferences, and information.
- Once you've dropped a pin, browse the meme. Does your character see anyone they want to kiss? They do? Well, just comment with a checkmark (✔) under their toplevel.
- The person who rakes in the most check marks and doles out the most kisses wins! Or maybe it’s the person who leaves the most checkmarks. I’m not sure. I might not be the meme police, actually.
- Platonic kisses are valid.

Ever never

Ever Been Kissed?

One simple question: do you believe, in your heart of hearts, that this person has been kissed before?

How to Play
⤷ Go on and hit 'em up style with the name and the prefs.
⤷ The onlookers have to answer the question re: your character.
⤷ Are they spot-on? Off-base so badly that they're in a different zipcode? Does your character pull tons of bitches? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z or whatever.

Not romantic, not platonic



BLURRED


For most people, the lines between platonic and romantic are very clearly drawn. Not true for you two; friendship and romance intermingle in your relationship, and to be honest, it's hard to discern where one ends and the other begins. You're bosom buddies. There's a spark between you. You're lovers, too, maybe, or it could be completely innocent. You're love interests. You're intimate, you're close, you're ride or die. You don't understand why romantic and platonic can't coexist. You don't need labels.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character and preferences, i.e. no smut, etc. Feel free to include as much or as little information as you'd like.
  • Reply to others.
  • RNG for a prompt or choose your own.

Stuck


STUCK WITH EACH OTHER MEME
a combination of various memes


1. HANDCUFFED.
Maybe one character has handcuffed themselves to the other on purpose. Maybe not. Either way, the cuffs are awfully sturdy and it looks like you've just lost the key.

2. TIED UP / CAPTIVE.
Being actually tied up isn't a necessity, although you're more than welcome to write it that way! The important part of this prompt is that the two characters are both being held captive by an outside force, one with less than benevolent intentions.

3. TRAPPED INDOORS.
The classic "snowed in" option, although snow isn't the only option! Any sort of intolerable weather works, and there are always more creative options, like being trapped in an underground bunker during a nuclear winter. The world is your oyster.

4. ACCIDENT / RUBBLE.
A collapsing building pinning two people down gives ample time for a bonding session. Or screaming for help. It's up to you.

5. AN ISLAND / THE WILDERNESS.
Whichever location you choose, it's deserted save for two. They'll have to fight over the meager resources there are or work together to survive until they can return to their homes.

6. IN SPACE.
Maybe someone just pulled a Passenger and woke another passenger from their cryopod, or maybe all the others in your crew died and they're the only ones left. In space, you're really, truly alone.

7. TWO MAN JOB.
They're not physically trapped together, but there's a job that only these two can do. Maybe they hate each other, but hate a third party more. Maybe they've been stuck together on a mission by a superior. The possibilities are endless, so don't be afraid to get creative.

8. WILDCARD.
Your choice -- get creative.

Sentinels and Guides


Sentinels and Guides Shipping Meme
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, the empaths with the ability to ground a Sentinel and focus them. Meant to be the protectors of the Guides, 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 the normal, unremarkable 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

grew up in a small town, and when the rain would fall down...



story of a small town
a stardew valley / harvest moon inspired meme

 


So, you want a simple, honest life, eh? Big city life isn't for you? Well, look no further than Summerton / Pelican Town / some other generic small town name! Here, the life you'll lead is as simple as it gets. Tending livestock, planting crops, mining, forging, fishing... Fortunately, it's not as if you're entirely off the grid. There are plenty of townsfolk to keep you company. We've got fairs, and parades, and events. In time, you might even fall in — dare we say it — love? One can only hope!


 how to play
1. Create a top-level and decide whether you'd like to be the fresh-faced new farmer, or a local! 

2. Enjoy small town life.

You belong to the shadow, to the void



Love and lust are all very well and good, but this meme is for when that white-hot desire tips into something darker, an all-consuming fire that licks at your every thought, that clenches around your every breath. It may be one-sided or it may be reciprocal, you may be the object or the subject or both simultaneously, but at least one of you is obsessed.

You can think of nothing but them. Your world, your heart, your very existence revolves around them.
