MARRIED IN A PAST LIFE

You've never met them before, but the moment your eyes lock, the ground drops out from under you. You know the exact weight of their hand in yours. You know how they take their coffee, the sound of their laugh from two rooms away, and the terrifying, gut-wrenching feeling of losing them. You made a promise in another lifetime, and somehow, the universe kept it.

Rules: Comment with your character, your preferences, and whether they remember everything, fragments, or nothing at all. Tag around and see what lifetimes you can rebuild.

THE CURSE OF COMPANY MEME
No matter what you do, you just can't seem to shake this person.

Skip town. Lock the deadbolt. Board a ship bound for the outer rim. Somehow, you keep walking right back into them.

You step through a portal to another world, only to find them sitting on a rock and looking just as frustrated as you feel.

Apparently, you're both under a curse.

HOW TO PLAY
  • Comment with your character and any preferences.
  • You can't escape.

THE LOVERS TO ENEMIES MEME

It used to be so easy. You used to look at them and see your safe harbor, your future. Your partner in crime. Somewhere along the line, the foundation cracked. The love curdled into something ugly and bitter, with edges now.

Now every conversation turns into a fight. Every old memory has teeth. You know exactly what to say to hurt them because, once upon a time, they trusted you with every soft and terrible part of themselves.

The only thing stronger than the memory of how much you loved them might be how much you hate them now.

Or maybe that’s the problem.

HOW TO PLAY
  • Post your character, canon, and any preferences or limits.
  • Tag around to other top levels.
  • Pick a prompt below or roll RNG.
  • Bring the angst.

THE CROSSROADS MEME

The crossroads appears when and where it pleases. You might find it at the edge of a forest, in the middle of a city, or at the end of a dirt road you've traveled a hundred times. The signposts point toward places that have no business sharing a map, and some of the travelers passing through aren't from your world at all.

Perhaps you came looking for it. There are rumors about this place, though nobody seems to agree on where it is or how to reach it. Or perhaps you took a wrong turn and discovered that retracing your steps won't get you home.

Another traveler is standing at the signpost when you arrive.

HOW TO PLAY

Post your character, series, and preferences.

Tag a fellow traveler at the crossroads.

Choose a prompt, roll, or make up your own encounter.

See where the roads take you.

THE PROPHECY MEME

Prophecies are always vague about the important parts, but this one is oddly clear about a single detail.

There are two of you. That much, at least, is certain.

The rest depends on which version you find. One predicts a wedding; another, a murder. There's something about saving the world in there, although another translation suggests you'll be responsible for ending it.

Unfortunately, your names, or descriptions a little too familiar to brush off, turn up consistently in every iteration of the prophecy.

And now you're standing face-to-face.

HOW TO PLAY
  • Comment with your character and what you're looking for.
  • Tag around and pick a prompt or roll RNG.
  • Find the other half of your prophecy.

  • Comment with your character, preferences, and limits.
  • Choose or roll a prompt; decide which character is doing the guarding.

THE FORCED
COURTSHIP MEME

You have to court them.

Not marry them. Not fall in love. Not yet.

An old custom got invoked. Magic took something literally. Their people have rules about this sort of thing, and you have already satisfied the first condition.

So now there are gifts to bring, visits to keep, gestures to return. You may despise every moment of it.

You will court them all the same.

HOW TO PLAY
⁕  Comment with your character and preferences.
⁕  If you're willing, tag others and use the prompts below.

text confessional

① comment with your character, with or without a text starter.

② tag somebody with the thing your character would only say via text message. i love you. i'm sorry. i'm leaving. your peach pie tastes like gym socks. i'm seeing your sister. the accident was my fault. write it, delete it, write it again. eventually, they have to hit send. send two or three if you want.

③ the person who gets the text answers. keep it going over text, or take things face to face after a few volleys.

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.

In the universe of the His Dark Materials trilogy (or the movie The Golden Compass), every person has a creature called a dæmon that accompanies them all their lives, and is emotionally and metaphysically a part of them. Dæmons are often described as sort of external souls (while the part of the personality in a human's body is the spirit).



Basic Dæmon Facts:

- They take the shape of animals
- They can talk, no matter what their shape
- Children's dæmons can change form at will; around puberty they 'settle' and become one animal permanently
- Neither the person or the dæmon chooses the final settled form, but it always reflects their personality (although not necessarily in obvious or simple ways)
- They are almost always the opposite sex as their human
- If a dæmon feels pain, so will their person, and vice versa
- Being physically apart from one's dæmon causes horrible emotional and physical pain
- Dæmons frequently talk to and touch each other, in ways that reflect or complement their persons' interactions, but dæmons talking to humans other than their own is considered strange, and touching humans not their own is extremely taboo; it generally occurs only between long-time lovers. Touching someone else's dæmon without permission is a terrible violation.

How it works:

Just design a dæmon for your muse and put as little or as much information as you like about them (shape, name, link to a picture or species wiki if you are so inclined) in a comment, with your muse's name and series in the subject. Check out other people's dæmons and let your dæmons interact too.

PITCH BLACK ROMANCE

By the time anyone dares call this love, the scent of rot may already be curling beneath the floorboards, and secrets may have begun to flower in the dark.

The flowers came without a card. The marriage contract arrived with witnesses. Somebody has been paid to kill somebody else and keeps finding reasons to postpone an otherwise very simple job. Across town, a family is negotiating an engagement like a ceasefire; farther out, where the road disappears into trees, something buried last winter has started scratching at the cellar door.

Dark romance has endless ways to ruin a life. Crime will do. So will money, revenge, faith, hunger, family, old promises, and magic gone sour. Sometimes the person you want is the danger. Sometimes they are the only soul willing to follow you into the dark. Given enough time together, it becomes impossible to remember who first suggested digging deeper.

Outside, the windows have grown black enough to reflect your own silhouette—and something beyond the garden wall watches the house with eyes like lanterns in the rain, patient and unblinking.

Sooner or later, someone opens the door, and the dark rushes in, hungry as longing itself.

How to Play

○ Top-level with your character, preferences, and limits.

○ Roll, pick, combine, alter.

the i n s o m n i a meme

It happens to everyone - sometimes, you have nights where you just can't fall asleep, no matter what you do. It could be for a number of reasons, or no reason at all. And this is what's happened now: you've been laying in bed for what feels like hours, just tossing and turning, and nothing seems to help. So what's left to do? Get out of bed and go wake someone else up, of course. If you're not getting any sleep, then why should they?


i n s t r u c t i o n s
• Post with your character (note the name and fandom in the subject).
• Other people reply to you by generating a number from 1 to 10.

the
One-Sided Love
meme

It's the quiet ache of standing right beside someone and knowing you can never close the gap. Maybe they see you only as a friend, or their heart belongs to someone else, or the truth would shatter everything you've built together. Whatever the reason, you swallow every confession before it can reach your lips and love them anyway, from a safe, suffocating distance.

HOW TO PLAY

Post your character, canon, and any preferences (platonic dynamic, angst level, potential for eventual reciprocity, etc.).

If you see someone, tag them with a prompt or roll the dice..

Pick a prompt below or roll RNG and let fate decide.

( love them anyway )
 
 
THE NEXT GENERATION MEME
Somewhere down the line, the two of you became parents.

Maybe this is an AU, canon taking a hard left, or simply where life ended up. Either way, there’s a kid to raise now.

Pick a point in the story and see how that’s going.

HOW TO PLAY
  • Post your character, canon, and preferences.
  • Age younger characters up to an appropriate childrearing age.
  • Work out whatever family details you need for the thread.
  • Pick a prompt or roll RNG.

2 TRUTHS 1 LIE
1. Post with your character.

2. In your comment, have your character state three things about themselves. 2 of those things should be the truth. 1 of them should be a lie.

3. Respond to other characters, and try to guess which one of their statements are a lie. Can you guess correctly?

4. Have fun! Take turns! And don't forget, sometimes the truth can be a whole lot stranger than fiction.

The Bad Ending

The dust has settled, and nobody is coming to clean up the wreckage.

You might have been crushed under the weight of it. Or you dragged yourself across the finish line only to realize the price of victory was everything you actually cared about keeping. The heavy door swung shut, the bargain was struck, and the ink dried before you understood what you'd agreed to lose.

Select your ruin. Then figure out what you're doing with whatever's left standing.

HOW TO PLAY
  • Drop your character, canon, and content preferences in a comment.
  • You know how this ends.
GEN
  1. TOO LATE: You broke every rule to get there in time. It wasn't enough.
  2. THE WRONG CHOICE: You were backed into a corner with two terrible options and picked the one you swore you could live with. Turns out you drastically overestimated yourself.
  3. PYRRHIC VICTORY: You won. Take a look at what it cost. Was it worth the trophy?
  4. LEFT BEHIND: One of you crawled out of the wreckage; the other didn't. Somehow, you're back in the same room, carrying on a conversation with a ghost or a survivor who can't look you in the eye.
  5. THE DEAL: You got exactly what you asked for down to the letter. The fine print just took something you didn't realize you couldn't live without.
  6. FAILED THEM: They put their entire life in your hands. You dropped it.
  7. YOU KNEW: One of you saw this disaster coming from miles away and kept quiet. The other just put the pieces together.
  8. NOTHING LEFT TO SAVE: The fighting stopped because there isn't anything left to burn. Why are you two still holding weapons?
  9. THE COST: Something precious had to go on the altar, and one of you made the executive call without asking.
  10. WILDCARD: Hand them the absolute worst plausible outcome for their situation, then step directly into the aftermath.
ROMANCE
  1. WE MISSED IT: The feelings were entirely real. The timing was an absolute catastrophe.
  2. TOO LATE TO SAY IT: One of you finally chokes out an admission after it can no longer change the outcome.
  3. I CHOSE WRONG: When the pressure spiked, you chose duty, cowardice, pride, or vengeance over them. Now you have to live with what you picked.
  4. THE BREAKUP THAT STUCK: No desperate speeches in the rain, no dramatic late-night reversals. Just two people quietly realizing it's over for good.
  5. ONE LAST NIGHT: You both know this is the last night you'll have together. How do you spend it?
  6. DON'T WAIT FOR ME: One of you is walking away into something fatal or permanent, and you're not asking for their permission to do it.
  7. WE CAN'T BE THIS ANYMORE: The love hasn't gone anywhere. Staying together is still doing damage neither of you can ignore.
  8. I CAN'T FORGIVE YOU: The love is still sitting right there between you, but so is what you did.
  9. THE LAST KISS: No romantic miracle, no last-second rescue. Just kissing them goodbye knowing you'll never touch them again.
  10. STAY GONE: You came back hoping to find something worth saving. They've already learned how to live without you.
  11. WILDCARD: Give the relationship its absolute worst plausible ending, then put the characters face-to-face one last time.

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE (thing)


Two people need the same thing, and there’s only one.

Sometimes you can split it, share it, take turns, or squeeze in. Sometimes you can’t. Either way, both of you have to decide what happens next.

HOW TO PLAY
  • Drop your character, canon, and any preferences.
  • Tag around.
  • Pick a prompt or roll.
  • Keep it petty or make it life-or-death. Your call.

OVER A DRINK
1. Post with your character.

2. You're at a bar. What kind of bar? Any kind you want. From fantasy taverns where various species mingle to futuristic space bars where half the drinks will probably kill you, or even an an overly kistch themed place where everything is overpriced, it's all good as long as there are drinks and company.

3. Respond to other characters. Perhaps you want to buy them a drink. Or perhaps you're inclined to be bought a drink. Maybe you saw someone you knew, or maybe you just want someone to talk to. Could be there's nowhere else to sit, and could be you want to drag them out to dance.

4. Get drunk. Or don't! Be the guest, or the bartender, or the newcommer, or even the janitor. Mingle, make friends, or lurk in a corner.

5. They say alcohol lowers one's inhibitions. Might just be time to find out how much.
 
 
 

RATE THAT CHEST MEME





You know the "rate that ass" meme? Well, here's a meme that allows you to rate the opposite!

"I can’t tell if they’re flirting with me or if they’re just like that with everybody. What does this look like to you?"

"Someone offered me a deal that sounds almost too good, and I can’t tell whether I’m being paranoid. Would you take it?"

Arranged Marriage

Congratulations!

You're getting married. Whether that's exciting, horrifying, politically necessary, or simply the least bad option on the table is another matter entirely.

Your parents signed the contract before either of you could walk. A monarch looked at a map and decided this seemed like a sensible way to prevent a war. Somebody inherited a title, a curse, or a kingdom with a spouse conveniently attached.

Whatever the reason, the wedding's happening.

Now comes the awkward part: figuring out what exactly to do with the person you're expected to spend the rest of your life with. You might fall in love, or you might spend the entire marriage plotting each other's untimely demise. There's plenty of room in between.
