THE FEMALE CHARACTER & PAIRING APPRECIATION MEME



This is a timely meme if there ever was one! Of course, I'm not talking about anything specifically...uhm, yes. ANYWAY. If you've ever played a female character from a canon dominated by male characters, or even just been a fan of such a character, you've probably noticed something. Your character will never be as popular as the dudes and the bros. You'll have a harder time finding icons, fanart, character studies- in fact, you may even find bashing of your character in disproportionate amounts compared to male canonmates. If you're in games, you may notice people flocking toward your more popular male castmates. You could get left behind when it comes to shipping or smut - or, worst of all, you could be shut out from all CR. That really sucks.

Even on memes, the message is pretty clear. Female characters rarely get the tags their male counterparts do. M/M shipping and smut dominates, and female characters can get called sexist names for daring to show interest in those things.

BUT NO LONGER. This meme is for female characters to get their time in the spotlight. All the lovely ladies are the focus today; you're the ones going to get chased after this time. So whether your poison is angst, fluff, smut, or anything in between, come one, come all. It's ladies' night.

HOW TO PLAY
- Make a comment with your character, canon, preferences, etc.
- Male characters can obviously make top comments to have ladies come to them, but they must be open to m/f. NO M/M ALLOWED.
- Comment to others, making up your own scenario or using the RNG to choose from the ones offered here. Roll once for category, then again

Heroine - She kicks ass, saves the day, and gets the girl/guy in the end!

Your characters have been trapped in a strange but comfortable room, with a big desk and couch, and now have to spend some time either talking about their problems or listening to other people's problems and trying to give good advice. Both is fine, too.

The room itself will compel them to at least try to play those roles, and will only release them after they do what it wants them to do.

The problems can be silly or serious, deep or shallow, it's all up to you.

[The List Of Possible Problems]

1. Small but still sucky problems that are just bothersome- They've gotten bad grades at school, they have a bad hair day, they fought with a friend about something really silly, etc etc.

2. Love, relationships and family problems - They're fighitng with their SO, they think their spouse might be cheating on them, they have Mother/Father Issues, their siblings are their worst enemy, etc etc.

3. Lifechanging problems - They flunked out of school, they find out they have superpowers, they find out they are the only one who can pilot a super robot, etc etc.

4. 'Our world as we know it is in danger' type problems - The Dark Lord is raising and is trying to take over their world, they have zombie problems, the Evil Space Empire is coming for their planet, their experiments with time travel ended up unraveling reality, etc etc.

5. Work related problems - They have to deal with the boss from hell, how are they supposed to defend the Earth with all those budget cuts, etc etc

6. Money problems - They have to deal with budgeting, inheritance problems, etc etc. Or maybe they just can't afford that fancy car...

7. Trauma related problems - Something bad happened to them, be it the deaths of important people or being trapped in a warzone or anything else, and they have to deal with the resulting trauma.

8. Really cracky problems - I hate my superheroine uniform, my brother always chews my slippers when he turns into a werewolf and I wish he'd stop, etc etc.

9. Something else

[How To]

1. Post as your character. (Please write down the name and canon/fandom of the character in the subject line, and also if they're canon, AU, crossover or OC, etc.)

2. Please choose your character's role - Therapist (Counsellor) or Client - and set the first scene. Setting the scenes for both is fine, too. (It is also all right for the characters to take turns being the therapist and the client, if that's what you want to do)

3. Tag, thread and have fun!

Comment, questions, correction welcome!

There’s nothing like watching a movie, is there? It’s a chance to relax and have fun for a few hours. Whether it’s a romantic date with dinner and a movie or an outdoor film festival, it doesn’t matter.

That’s up to you.

So pick your genre, pick your location, and pick your season. Above all else?

Chillax.

The Deets:

- Post with a character.

- Like ‘The Support Group Meme’ and ‘The Adventure Meme’, post your preferences. Want a romantic date in the middle of winter? Is the Cannes Film Festival more your style? Or, do you just want a lazy afternoon in the living room with a Bond marathon going? It’s your choice.

- If you want something steamy or gory, note that too. We don’t want someone wanting a romantic tryst stumbling upon a zombie apocalypse!

- Join other film venues.

- Have fun.

[Inspired by the famed Support Group Meme and its offspring, The Adventure Meme. Special mention goes to Agent Phil Coulson here on D_M. That post is beautiful and you should feel beautiful.]
