[2 for 1] The Ship Type I Would Like to Play Meme + The Get Yourself a Crossover Ship Meme

[atyourservices]

[click on the image for the thread]

Pretty much, this meme is what it says on the tin. Often times, when we want to ship, we have a specific itch we want to scratch: a certain dynamic, a kind of ship, or a scenario we want to play. A general shipping meme is too vague, and you can't get exactly what you want without seeming oddly stifling.

This place is basically a "kink" meme, but with...shipping kinks rather than smut ones? Something like that? It's hard to explain, but you know what it is. Here, you can make connections with those who may want the same scenarios and dynamics you do.

A few general guidelines:

• Try to keep things to specific TYPES of ships or dynamics, not specific ships themselves. But, of course, I can't stop you.
• Please be respectful of everybody.

Does OTA really mean open to all? Is it crazy to want to ship with people outside your own canon? What if I really, really want to ship with this one character so fucking bad I'm ready to call out any of them but it's weird as hell because I'm not a castmate?

Well, you're in luck, you little assholes. This is a place for discovering what open to all really means. It's for crossover ships 24/7. Multiversal love connections. Etc etc etc. Better yet, there's three ways to play.

A. OFFER BY SERIES & CHARACTER
Clarissa explains it all - this is where you offer up your character and people not from that series will flock to you.

B. OFFER BY SCENARIO
Do I even have to explain this? No, I don't.

C. REQUEST BY CHARACTER
This is where you can voice your desire for your Draco Malfoy/Vriska Serket/Sam Winchester/Thor for your Onceler, you thirsty bitch.

FYI, those commenting to others with their characters (ie, in the "series & characters" threads) might want to give a short blurb about their canon and character, in case whoever you're responding to is canonblind.

HOW TO PLAY

For series & characters:
- If not already made, make a subthread with your canon. And if you already see your character
- Comment with your character offered.
- People will respond to you with characters from a different canon they'd like to play against yours.

For dynamic/scenario
- Similar to the last meme, comment with the scenario or dynamic you'd like to play out. If you have a character already in mind you want to play for this, mention them.
- Others will comment, offering a character from a different canon.

For requesting characters
- Comment with the character you want, character name in the subject line.
- Say why you want the character.
- Say who you want to ship the character with - optionally. But it's probably easier that way.

By Dynamics or Scenario
By Characters Wanted

i looove this meme.

i'm curious about playing out:
► spies. they're undercover (either having to pose as a married couple or siblings) and things spark.
► something unhealthy. the two partners genuinely love each other but they're just really bad for each other.
► dealing with workahol. most of my characters love their jobs (to the point where if the option was available, they would marry them) and need to be dragged away.
► one-sided love. one's in love, the other's faking it.
► vampires.

wow, i had a lot. anyway, i am completely open to m/m, m/f, or f/f; i am super okay with cross-canon and cross-medium - i mostly play live action characters. :)

[ravynstoneabbey]

Okay, the spies and the workaholics one both really ping me. My Muses. Who do you want?

[bellisima]

for spies, i think that steebe, moira, mako, or mary would work - and as for my kids, i think q, lily, chuck, or peggy are the best. any of those you like?

workaholics - jane, newton, bones (either of them), pepper; percy, bones, q, bel.

[willingtopaytheprice]

So many options, omgosh. AU where Steve and Peggy run SHIELD? And Mako and Q would be so cute.

I basically want all of those options to be honest.

[havewovenaweb]

You know I would give you any of these people for any of these ideas.

Vampires: Louis and Keats? Some more Regency vampires and naval captains?

Spies: Peggy and one of my dudes? Mrs Peel and one of your dudes? idk why, but John Watson and one of my ladies? Or someone with Rachel doing some undercover investigative journalism?

Workahol: aren't we already doing this lmao. But you know I'd do more.

Unhealthy: I play a lot of people that probably shouldn't get into committed relationships, does anything come to mind that you want?

[bellisima]

jarvis/sharpay unhealthy otp forever /bangs them together like barbies

for reals: yyyy louis and keats, that sounds awesome. i would be interested in peggy and a dude (possibly steebe or sherlock) and maybe john and emma or john and rachel?

i would love to do more with bond or with constantine or maybe clark, because i feel like they would be really good at fucked up.

[basicallytwitter]

SLKDJFDKJFDF help. Tho that reminds me that for reals Q and JARVIS need to be snarky buddies somehow. Maybe Q tries to hack Stark Industries and JARVIS comes back all YO RUDE idk.

Louis and Keats, check. Peggy and a dude... man either one. Both! (No we need time to sleep.) I'm down for either you decide.

Somehow I'm charmed by the idea of John and Rachel. OR OR OR John and Christine, a pair of military medics? :|a

CONSTANTINE there you go, your one-stop shop for fucked up relationships. Look, he genuinely loved everyone he was ever involved with! Even after he somehow got them killed! :D ?

[iagosdick]

heeey if you're open to cross-medium/cross-canon I have a vampire I could toss at you.

[bellisima]

i am definitely open to cross-medium and cross-canon! i have canon vampires in louis de pointe du lac from vampire chronicles and mimi force from blue bloods, and i'm more than happy to au any of my kids into vampires if one of them strikes your fancy.

[listenwritelive]

I've got a bunch of OC's to choose from - and I like the idea of workaholics. I've also got a vampire in there somewhere who is available to play with.

[bellisima]

oooh, yes! my muselist is here for your perusing pleasure. for workaholics, i think percy, peggy, bones, possibly sharpay or cedric would work best, and as for vampires, louis and mimi are the only canon ones but i will gladly come up with vampire aus for any of them. let me know what works best for you!

[start_from_now]

I am fully open to playing as many threads as you'd be interested in playing, especially if you see any muses in my muselist that piques your interest. I'm just a little slow these days because my new job has me coming home, exhausted, and staring into my inbox for a while, and then weeping, and thinking MAYBE TOMORROW. I will backtag into forever, though, and there's really no such thing as a late tag for me.

My muselist is here, although I haven't added the two newest, who are lost_not_broken, and find_the_good. They're all mirrored over here, though, I just haven't updated the list in ... way, way too long.

[bellisima]

i completely empathize, also having a boring grown-up job that often leaves me looking at my inbox and feeling a heaping helping of NOPE. so never ever worry about being slow with me, because i am also super slow but i will always get back to you.

i'm skimming through and i like maddie, penelope, claire, miles, brady, and aj. of the scenarios i tossed out, i think miles and aj would work best for workaholics, penelope would work for vampires (does that make me terrible? i think it does) and the others would work for spies. any particular pairings clicking for you? i generally throw muses at the wall to see what sticks so i'm totally happy to rng it if not. :D

[capturing_hope]

Yes, good, a kindred spirit! I always feel so terrible when I let things sit for a few days, but there are some nights that I get home and pretty much just pass out. Getting older kinda sucks.

See, I'm thrilled that you said that you liked Maddie, and then suggested that she might work for your spy idea because I've been chomping at the bit to play her in an FBI-verse scenario, where she was the agent sent undercover to get information on a mob boss' son, who she eventually falls in love with. I still want to play that eventually, but I'm fully okay with the spy thing, since it's pretty close to that idea. Brady might be a good fit with that scenario, too, with his military background, and all. He could be working for a private detective agency, or something.

Miles & AJ could definitely do the workaholic thing, especially since I just changed her headcanon into having graduated from grad school, soon to be starting her first counseling job at an elementary school. Obviously, she's going to be spending long hours making sure that she's a good fit.

Claire ... you know, I really wouldn't mind your other ideas for her, too, because I'm not sure where she'd fit with any of the other ideas. And I do like drama, and hurting my muses, because I'm a terrible person like that. I mean, what can ya do?

I am totally cool with throwing Penelope into a vampire-verse thing, too. Hey, she's already an angel, so why not? I do have a vampire - unending_belief, that I created for a PSL that never really got off the ground. But he's definitely available, too.

I am totally not picky as to who you want to mix and match with mine, so whether you think there's one in particular that would work, or you do just sort of pick and choose, that's more than fine by me. That being said, Miles' icons aren't so modern that he couldn't play against Peggy ... *wink wink nudge nudge*

[bellisima]

i would be totally down for doing that mob boss son thing! i think the best candidates would be ethan or sam - i think sam would probably be more easily au'ed in that situation.

i love the idea of trying to drag someone away from their room filled with adorable animal posters or whatever. :3 i would say jack or possibly lily would be the best for that, because both of them would be like NOPE I'M GONNA TAKE YOU TO DINNER KICKING AND SCREAMING.

for claire - maybe one-sided love? because angst? with that, i would say bel or q, because both of them would be just a liiiittle too good at taking advantage of other peoples' emotions.

oooooh okay i'm just going to put out there that my louis is pb'ed by jonathan rhys meyers, so let's both just sit here and think about him and hiddlesticks, okay.

[like_reflection]

I'm just going to put this out there - the titles of shows on the Investigation Discovery channel are horrible and hilarious all at once. I just saw a commercial for a new show called Sinister Ministers. My God, I thought that I was creative, but nothing I ever write will top the pure genius of that title.

OOOOKAY, ANYWAY -

We would happily accept either Sam or Ethan for the mob plot. If Sam's more easily adaptable to it, great. 'Cause, c'mon, who doesn't love Sam Winchester?

Haha, well, Miles' office probably wouldn't have adorable animal posters, but AJ's definitely would! He'd be more apt to try to drag his laptop with him, 'cause damn it, this article on the Girl Scouts cookie sale isn't quite done yet! And AJ would insist that she can't leave until everything is perfect. WHAT IF THE POSTERS ARE LOPSIDED?!? I've come to learn that she can be really rather neurotic. She's totally equal opportunity when it comes to partners, so either of them would be fine.

Yes, yes, that would certainly work with Claire. We do love Q, so that would work for me.

... MMMMMMMMMMMYES. I mean ... what?

[ofgreatambition]

excellent to all three of these! i have a sort of open post here and i'm happy to toss up either picture prompts or starters - whichever you'd prefer. they probably won't get up until thursday at the earliest, but i'm happy to do whatever works best for you!

[like_reflection]

I will play everyone against everyone I am not even kidding. But we can definitely start with Maddie/Sam, Abbie/Whoever you want because I am not picky about that at all, and Claire/Q.

I like pictures and starters, so whatever you have in mind is cool by me. I'll bookmark the post, but you can also link me when the posts are up. :0D

[aviophobia]

ta-daaaaa

sam and maddie
lily and aj
q and claire

again, i'm happy to set up starters, etc, just let me know!
