 THE "IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!" MEME
1. Post!
2. Tag!
3. RNG: 1-10
4. Have at it!

1. Forgotten Birthday
Did everyone forget your big day? Were you really hoping for some company, or just a damn present? If only one person remembered... It'd be okay even if they're late.

2. Secret Birthday
Birthday? BAH HUMBUG. You don't want to be reminded that you're turning 50 or 500 this year. It's just another year of receding hairlines and sagging breasts. Seriously. You don't have a birthday. (Or hey, maybe you just forgot to mention it. That happens too.)

3. Expensive Birthday
Time to splurge! You only get to do this once a year, right? So everyone better bring some damn good presents for how good a bash you're throwing. Getting thrown, maybe, with Daddy and Mommy's money.

4. Double Birthday
There's nothing quite like the kinship of being born on the same day. Maybe you're twins, maybe you were cloned, maybe you just budded off asexually or something. Or, you were just lucky. Better figure out who gets to blow out the candles.

5. Surprise Birthday
Did everyone forget your birthday? This is the wrong number, isn't it? Hey... isn't it awfully quiet? Where did everyone go?

6. Senile Birthday
Birthday? Whose birthday is it?

7. Unbirthday
It's not even your birthday, but the hell with it, you want cake. And balloons and streamers and maybe a fucking pony. Well, you're going to get them. And some tea, if that's your thing. Either way, this is going to be the BEST RANDOM DAY EVER.

8. Romantic Birthday
Nothing says I love you like actually remembering when your significant other started existing. After all, this is only one of... 5? 10? Occasions of the year where you get to spend too much money spoil them.

9. Crashed Birthday
Who the hell are you? This is a private party!! Wait, what do you mean poisonous hamsters from Zanzibar are in the pantry?!

10. Deathday
Hell yeah, the day you were released from the ties of the living world. Nothing quite like it. This is an absolutely festive occasion. It's a great day to haunt someone you know! Or something.

[He frowns and hunches up his shoulders, his body language simply screaming at you to go away.]

CUT IT OUT.

Terezi and sensitivity are not well acquainted

[bl1nds33r]

YOU CONT1NU3 TO R3M41N OBST1N4NT
...
V3RY W3LL

[She attempts to prod you sharply in the side with her cane. She intends to continue until she gets a straight answer.]

oh well

[candyhorns]

OF FUCKING COURSE I'M REMAINING OBSTINATE, WHEN AM I NOT OBSTINATE.

[He'll let himself be prodded once or twice out of apathy, but after that, he'll tuck in his elbows and shove the cane away.]

[bl1nds33r]

[She resists with the cane for a moment, but eventually gives up. For now.]

1M NOT L34V1NG W1THOUT TH3 TRUTH
WH4T 1S K4RK4TS D4RK S3CR3T??
UNCOV3R1NG 1T SH4LL B3 MY N3W L1F3 GO4L

[But merely refusing to leave isn't much of a threat unless you want her to leave first. So she'll just be trying to walk as pair of fingers up your arm, their eventual goal the top of your head.]

[candyhorns]

TEREZI, FUCK OFF.

WHY ARE YOU SO DETERMINED TO KNOW ABOUT MY "DARK SECRETS", ANYWAY, YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ONLY SECRET THAT EVER MATTERED AND YOU DON'T GIVE A SHIT.

[Fingers keep walking.]

[candyhorns]

[You're tickling him, and he really wants you to stop, but he's doing his best not to swat your hand away because, well, even being bothered is better than being ignored in favor of Dave.]

IF I VOMIT OVER CAN TOWN IT'S ONLY BECAUSE I'M DISGUSTED WITH ITS RESIDENTS, IT WILL NOTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER I'M BROODING, WHICH I'M NOT, OR IF I AM, IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, OK?

I DON'T KNOW.
HOW MUCH SHIT ARE YOU WILLING TO GIVE ME.

[bl1nds33r]

[The fingers have reached your neck. Do you react?]

[candyhorns]

DO YOU ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THE ANSWER.
OR DO YOU JUST WANT TO KNOW BECAUSE YOU'RE A NOSY MOTHERFUCKER.

[He's trying not to react, but the touch of fingers on his bare skin makes him flinch anyway. Terezi you don't understand what you're doing to him! Probably because he hasn't told you, and has only complained to himself about it. But still. ):B]

repost for FORGETTING SHE IS BLIND -_(\ ugh

[bl1nds33r]

H3H3H3H3H3

[candyhorns]

TEREZI STOP, YOU'RE TICKLING ME.

[his attempts to push you away aren't very coordinated. He may just have grabbed a boob by accident. Who even knows.]

[bl1nds33r]

ONLY 1F YOU T3LL M3333
4ND STOP F33L1NG M3 UP, WH1L3 W3R3 D1SCUSS1NG T3RMS

[Because she noticed that grab. Not that it's influencing her to stop the tickling in any way.]

[candyhorns]

I'M NOT FEELING YOU UP.

[bl1nds33r]

TH3N TH3 T3RMS 4R3 H4LFW4Y M3T 4LR34DY!
BUT!
YOU ST1LL H4V3N'T TOLD M3 YOUR S3CR3T...

[She's tickled the side of your neck enough for now--time to try under your chin.]

[candyhorns]

[OK, that's too much, and his voice is an embarrassing squeal of frustration.]

FUCK, FINE, FUCK! FINE, I GIVE UP, I GIVE UP
DO YOU KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS?

[bl1nds33r]

[She pauses in the tickling to allow you to answer unimpeded... but keeps her fingers ready.]

1S TH3R3 SOM3TH1NG SP3C14L 4BOUT TOD4Y??

[Tickling: effective interrogation technique - noted.]

[candyhorns]

[He hesitates, not sure how to answer that question. It's not like his wriggling day was ever a cause for celebration, but on the other hand, it is significant? If nothing else, in that it's the anniversary of the start of a long run of increasing worse worst nights of his life.]

NOT IF 'SPECIAL' IS SUPPOSED TO BE A GOOD THING.

[bl1nds33r]

...
IT C4N B3 4NY K1ND OF TH1NG

[She looks less inclined to tickle you at the moment. Her fingers are still at the ready, but she seems a lot less manic than usual suddenly.]

[candyhorns]

OH.

IT'S MY WRIGGLING DAY.

[bl1nds33r]

[She blinks.]

1T 1S??

1T WOULDNT 4NSW3R TH3 QU3ST1ON 4ND WOULD B3 F4R TOO M3LODR4M4T1C

[candyhorns]

[He'd already opened his mouth to say exactly that, so it takes him a second to come up with a better answer.

Except, because he's Karkat, he ends up just saying it anyway.]

BUT IT *IS* BECAUSE IT'S MY WRIGGLING DAY, IT'S A DAY SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO COMMEMORATE THE INCEPTION OF MY NUMEROUS FAILURES AND FAULTS AND I FUCKING HATE IT, IT'S THE WORST DAY OF THE SWEEP, AND THAT WAS ALL TRUE EVEN BEFORE I TURNED SIX AND WE STARTED PLAYING A STUPID FUCKING GAME THAT KILLED--HALF OF MY FRIENDS, AND--BASICALLY EXPANDED THE HORIZONS WITHIN WHICH I COULD SHOW OFF MY ENDLESS CAPACITY FOR RUINING EVERYTHING, AND IT ALSO MEANS WE'RE A SWEEP CLOSER TO WHATEVER COMES NEXT, AND WHAT IF IT'S JUST THE SAME THING, BUT WORSE? LIKE.

FUCK. [he doesn't really want to talk about this, he decides.]

SO YEAH.
I'M SEVEN.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ME.
I'M SURE WE ARE ALL HOLDING OUR BREATH TO SEE WHAT GRAND NEW FUCKUPS I CAN ACHIEVE.
