The Other-Wordly Meme

Words are magical things; they can have so many lovely connotations and varied histories.
Words have family trees just like people. They are linked to each other.
Some words are full of flavor and color and describe things you never suspected there were words for.
Words are why we're here.

The meme is simple: post a comment with your muse's name and canon in the subject line.
List any preferences you may have ("No Shipping," "No Smut," etc.), if you decide to leave the next step up to responders.
Responders (or original posters, if they so decide), go to the Other-Wordly blog and hit 'Random' until you get a word. Use the word as a prompt to write up an RP scenario. Do this several times, if you like. Mix and match. Have fun with it!

Don't stop with a word, though! Words can often have etymologies that are at odds with their current meanings. Words can shift connotations over time. Let your imagination carry you with the words as its wind.

[Unlike his brother, Sam does his best not to live in the past. He tries to move forward, to make himself better. People need to change otherwise they become stagnant, stuck in a rut they can't get out of.

It's a hard thing to do, to dig themselves out of that rut, but Sam tries - and every time he does, Dean always manages to find a way to set him back. He loves his brother, but he doesn't know how to move forward, without holding on to what was.

Which, honestly, is ninety percent of the reason that Sam is keeping his distance right now.

He's currently camped out in the bunker, trying to get a leg up on their next case and very carefully ignoring Dean. It's easy, as he's not in the room, but he knows that that isn't guaranteed to last. He just hopes he can hold on to his resolve.]
