I'm ugly and I'm proud

why i'm single

these assumed relationship movies, well, assume a lot. like you're even capable of being in a relationship, for starters.

how to play:
➬ no rocket science here. your character tells us why they're single. they can...fudge details, of course! of course.
➬ everybody shares their hot take on whether your character's singlehood is deserved or not. you never know, they could even volunteer to remedy the situation!

I'm currently single because the woman I like doesn't like me back.

[airtight_anaconda]

Yes, well...that does make sense.

Ziel | Cradle

[achelord]

Too tired to date.

carrie.

[prayercloset]

[ Sitting silent and alone in her prom dress, bloody from head to toe, holding a rusty bucket in her lap.

Self-explanatory? ]

[sidhean]

Yeah, I was this close to burning my high school to the ground [A tiny pinchy hand gesture] so many times.

Doesn't win you many friends, but I'm sure it was cathartic. Are you, uh...here, kiddo? [As opposed to too shell shocked to react sensibly.]

Tomoe Naruse | l.o.m.p. | {gen only}

[meltinglight]

The people I date don't want to acknowledge they're dating me.

[pettymuch]

Why not??

[nutkrusher]

My energy is just too powerful. People are intimidated by how perfect and sexy I am.

[pineapplegifter]

I know a guy who would be perfect for you. Sure he does have an unhealthy obsession with guns and shooting them. I doubt that would be a red flag for you... Military hm? He loves both blondes and tough ladies. He's a divorcee so be careful with him. His name is Carlton Lassie, a cop.

The Ghoul | Fallout

[vocalistyodels]

Got more important things on my plate than having someone to be sweet on.

[Aka his wife divorced him and then the world almost ended in a nuclear apocalypse. Just little things.]

[pineapplegifter]

...what happened to your face? Cosplaying as Lord Voldemort or something?

Warren Godby | Red Valley Podcast

[kontinued]

Because my wife was faking being my wife.

[heartarmor]

I sense there's a story there.

[floralisse]

( Calanthe laughs at the question. )

It's hard to date when you're stuck in a basement.

( That is one very, very small part of why she's single. )

[nutkrusher]

The story of every Dreamwidth RPer! Zing!

Ah, sorry, that's insensitive, isn't it?

Hei | Darker Than Black

[legitlessgrump]

I was an assassin who likely still has organizations pissed off at him, all of which contain other deadly assassins with various powers and weapons. I doubt anyone wishes to deal with that.

[suneko_no_hitomi]

[Snake Eyes paused before balling his fist and tapping it to his chest. He kinda feels that...kinda.]

Naoki Kashima/Demi-Fiend | SMT Nocturne

[heavensmostwanted]

Well before this, relationships weren't something I put a lot of thought into. Mostly liked one girl, but we stayed more as close friends for a long time. I just...wasn't sure what to do.

Oh, and I got heaven on my ass for being a half-demon created by Lucifer, who seemed to mostly do it for kicks. That's likely more of the deal-breaker.

Donatello - Rise of the TMNT - OTA

[soft_shelled]

Oh... I mean aside from the obvious? [Mutant turtle he means.]

Probably my insisting that my best friend/partner go kiss other people.

[bringerofdemons]

You stupid or somethin'?

Or are you into the whole swingin' thing? Can probably believe the latter because why else would anyone do that?

gildo / original / ota

[hellivision]

Well, after that one time when I was forced to feed my date's soul to the demons, I realized being an item was a terrible idea.

[vocalistyodels]

Can't say I've heard that one before.

yusuke urameshi | yuyu hakusho | ota

[ghostmoder]

Got dumped. [ ....... ] There's stuff I gotta take care of, okay? What was I supposed to do, bullshit her about it?

[once kind of a fuckboy always kind of a fuckboy]

[menkoi]

You didn't do something stupid like tell her to wait for you, right.

Claire Bennet ∞ Heroes ∞ OTA

[infinite1ups]

My life has a tendency to get crazy at the drop of a hat. As a result, I move around a lot and it's hard to put down roots.

[pineapplegifter]

Same here. Been all over the place.

angelika rosario | original | m/f

[rosarie]

I don't imagine many men would be comfortable with my line of work.

[ ... ]

Either of them, really.

[seafloor]

I'm uncomfortable with your boss. [ Mutter, grumble. ]

Shouto Todoroki || BNHA || OTA

[icyflames]

Been busy with school.

And fighting a war.

[pineapplegifter]

That puts a damper on things... So... Ate you winning? The war?

Peter Quill | MCU

[quadblast]

It's complicated.

[that_night_in_annapolis]

Yeah? How?

nito nazuna | ensemble stars! | ota

[pyonpyon]

It's kind of not allowed, I guess~? Though the lack of free time would be its own problem...

[suntones]

[Not to parrot him too much, but —]

You're not allowed to?

[holdshisown]

Because my people don't tend to remarry after our partners pass away. I would not do so even should I be given leave to do it.

[gaeaf]

Hm. Is there a reason behind that strictly monogamous lifestyle? [ Another marked differences with carefree fairies. ]

Zackary Marshall | OC

[whopraysfor]

[just points to the clerical collar he's wearing]

I made a promise, and I'm keeping it.

[that_night_in_annapolis]

I respect your conviction, pal. It could never be me.

thorntail ("tav") 🐉 bg3

[wanderment]

Reasons.

[ thank you thorn, that's very specific. ]

[tiveragh]

Did Withers want to know why thou hast no bosom companion again? I think he's bored.

d ( vampire hunter d )

[sunsickness]

Not interested. [ also: ] And I'm dhampir.

[perpetualnight]

I fail to see how this should be a reason for isolation.

Cinnabar | Houseki no Kuni

[kinnabari]

I'm toxic.

[apathantarc]

What does your mercury have to do with this?

Mito Minato | Therapy Game

[bundere]

I'm a high maintenance bitch.

Hatsuharu Sohma | Fruits Basket

[udderchaos]

It's complicated...

[isolatedprince]

Still not talking to you?
