Texting

love letters + shipping texts meme

comment with your character.
other people will reply to you.
your characters (in a relationship, in love, in some sort of attraction that gravitates around the other, in idk 'love' is a many-splendored thing) are commanicating via: passionate confessions written on parchment, furtive notes scrawled in code, passive-aggressive post-it notes, messages carved in trees, smoke signals, instant messages on space age computers, text messages complete with lovey-dovey pictures, whatever!
have fun!

Waking up and I'm making it everyone's problem

WOKE UP MARRIED

You wake up somewhere...strange. You don't remember the previous night. In fact, you may not recognize what's going on at all.

Also, you're sharing the bed with someone else. You may not recognize them. You probably don't. They may not be your preferred gender or species. It doesn't matter, because you have matching rings on your fingers - or whatever you have that approximates a finger - that can mean only one thing.

You got married!
How to Play:
Make a top-level with character and canon, preferences, all that jazz.
Tag others.
You're now married. Congrats? Or here's a map to the courthouse, if you wanna get that annulled. Expect you'll have to untangle yourself from your spouse and figure out what the hell just happened.

A heartbeat increases this body's heat.

THE BODY HEAT MEME

Post with your character! They're now stuck in a very cold place of your choice. It can be anything, such as a freezing chamber, a cavern or a small cabin in the midst of a blizzard. The choice is up to you.

Comment around! Now your character has some company in this bone-chilling environment. The two of them share two things in common: clothes completely unfitting for this weather (be they summer clothes or even lingerie) and a blanket.

A blanket? Yes, just one warm blanket and no other ways to escape the cold. The two of them will have to share it in order to stay alive in this weather. Don't worry, you're sure to find a common language in this terrible situation!

So, uh, have fun, I suppose. Try to not freeze to death!

Protip: friction and body heat are both excellent ways to fend off cold.

they're still real to me

ULTIMATE SOULMATE AU

● hit 'em with the character, canon name, and preferences.
● others will hit you up with a result from the ultra-deluxe, top-of-the-line soulmate AU prompt generator bible (seriously, there's like 186 individual prompts in there, check that out; there's also gen options for platonic soulmates).
● op, that's your prompt. cry. laugh. feel all your feels.
● Curtain's up, break a leg.
● alternatively, if you want to make it a reverse prompt meme, just put the results you get in your top level! that works.

I'm cursed, nay, DESTROYED by the narrative

Doomed

Isn’t something all the sweeter, the more tantalizing and painful, when we know it’s never meant to last?

Love is the same. Its beauty is because it’s finite by human nature, not despite that.

We can never last. We can never love each other in the exact same way as we did yesterday. Yesterday is gone.

We can’t hold it in our arms again. Soon, all we’ll have of that time is memory.

Let’s make our bonds worth remembering.

how to play

For those of us who crave playing out the end of a relationship, no matter how bad or bloody.
Give comments.
Get comments.

test of a man's soul...

Would You Rather...?
How to Play
One person asks "Would you rather...?" followed by two options. They can range from mundane to outrageously horrific: be a cat OR be a dog, save starving children in Africa OR have a real working lightsaber, etc. Others decide which they would choose of the two given options. Friendships are created or destroyed.

The Rules
1. Comment with your character with a "Would you rather...?" starter. 2. Respond to other characters with your character's choice out of two (probably horrible) choices. 3. DISCUSS.

The last words I may get to say

ｕｎｓｅｎｔｔｅｘｔｓ

① comment with your character.
② repliers queue up a text (or two or three to choose from) that they typed up, but never sent.
③ only they fat-fingered and set them flying out of the outbox into infamy.
④ it's two in the morning jfc why are you asking me if i'd love you if you were a worm? no, i don't think my little pony is a metaphor for communism. go to sleep.

Toil and Trouble...

Season of the Witch

The concept of the Witch represents many things. Witches may be women, outcast, or other, and their power has been feared because it threatens the tidiness of the status quo. From Medea to Elphaba, the witch has been hated, feared, and tormented, but sometimes she has ruled triumphant.

I went to the animal fair, the birds and the beasts were there...

Now this greatest tent staled out hot raw breaths of earth, confetti that was ancient when the canals of Venice were not yet staked, and wafts of pink cotton candy like tired feather boas.
- Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes

THE CARNIVAL MEME

WHAT TO DO:

1. Post with your character--name, fandom and any particular preferences go in the subject line as usual.

2. You can either roll or pick a scenario (or scenarios!) from the list or leave your comment blank.

3. Reply to people!

4. Have fun and be mindful of your partner's preferences.

midfuck

Are you tired of building up to the act? Do you sometimes wish for a chance to skip all the conversation and go straight for the experience?

In that case, rejoice! This ~~hole~~ meme was made for you!

RULES:

Post with your character's name, fandom and pairing preferences in the subject line.

Your character is now in the middle of having sex! Any location, sexual position and level of undress is allowed, so knock yourself out with establishing the scene of your dreams.

Comment around! See if there's anyone else who posted a perfect scene for your character to fuck in.

Keep going and finish the act. Then go for another round or have fun with cuddling and afterplay.

???

PROFIT. Or in this case, fun to be had for all.

cause you got that o n e thing

the ( one thing i like about you ) meme
You've known this person forever. Wait. Reverse that. Scratch it out. You've never met this man in your life. No matter what the case may be, you've still got one little niggle in that brainpan of yours while they're standing in front of you.

You have to say, out loud, the one thing you find intrinsically, insanely attractive about them. Physically. Mentally. Randomly. After being familiar with them your whole life. After meeting them two seconds ago. You have to bear this burden. What's better (or worse)? They have to do the same in return. The two of you, stuck in this tango, must continue until someone breaks the curse, all secrets are revealed, you go insane, or kiss.

All of those options all at once is also accepted.

how to play
- comment.
- comment to others.
- comment in threads until the sun comes up.

Questions

the shippy & smutty questions meme: consoldiated

It's a question meme about love and relationships (and sex). Self-explanatory, right?

♡ Tag other characters with questions from the list you want them to answer.
♡ Answer your own questions!
♡ That's it.

Rain

the rain meme

Ah, rain—the precipitation that the whole world has a love/hate affair with. It waters the garden for free and ruins baseball games. It cools you off in the summer and it causes more ice and sleet to appear in the winter. Sometimes it is lovely and falls at a decent pace for a few hours, other times, it blasts the whole eastern seaboard away.

Poems and songs have been written about it, people have danced in it, others have cursed its entire existence, and still more refuse to go out and drive in it.

Now it’s time to roll some dice and see what the weather will have in store for you today.

directions

1. Comment with your character, series, preferences, etc in the subject.
2. Roll a number between 1-5 with the RNG for an intensity.
3. Roll 1-15 with the RNG for a situation.
4. Reply to other comments and play the scenario out!
5. Don’t catch a cold!

Taboo

TABOO meme

Most societies have certain mores that are unspoken rules; humanity itself even has such conventions, grilled subconsciously into our minds for our own safety. Don't go out alone at night. Avoid getting wet when it's cold. Don't pick fights with those stronger than you...okay, some of us missed the boat on the last one, but the point still stands. Society's rules tend to be more variable, though they apply to most aspects of life - including sex. In fact, bending the rules on what's considered acceptable in romance and sexual encounters can lead to anything from ostracization to death, depending on the time and culture.

So, play it close to the chest if you're going to do a big, big, big t a b o o. Is it worth the risk?

How to Play

- Comment with your character and preferences. Be sure to include what you want and what you DON'T WANT. Blank comments are fine; info is even better!
- Reply to others.
- Be fun and respect others, as this will deal with some heavy topics and potentially triggering material s.

(Or enemy texting, if that's more your bag.)
