imperfections & intimacy meme
a smut meme

Even if they're not permanent or irremovable, imperfections are often as much a part of us as our blood and bones, pumping through our bodies. They leave a mark and can often shape the way we perceive ourselves. Look in the mirror, what do you see? Idealized dreams, what's not absolutely perfect or appealing about you, or somewhere in between - the closest to the "real you" that you can perceive? Sometimes, it's hard to love that person, that flawed being you see looking back at you. While in the end it's imperative for you to love you, the first step towards that can be a partner or a lover doing it for you. Intimacy is able to serve as that adoration made physical; it may also be an important facet to becoming more comfortable in one's skin, especially if intimacy has been a problem before. This is keeping in mind that the path to self-acceptance can be difficult and slow.

This meme is to explore such intimacy between two characters. No "flaw," used loosely for obvious reasons, is off limits here, be it big or small. Size, shape, less-than-beautiful appearance, unique features like wings or horns, scars and prior injuries, imperfections, mental hurdles, past experiences, personality traits, trust issues, and anything else that runs the gamut are all welcome. Even if it's not that much of a bother to the character or it's something they've learned to cope with better than others have, players are welcome to explore the psychological and physical implications. Of course, characters to love their partners in spite of - or because of - their flaws are needed, as well. Whether a fluffy or angsty direction is taken is completely up to the threaders.

HOW TO PLAY
  • Comment with your character and preferences. If your character is the one with the imperfections, say so and say what it is for those who are canonblind. If you want to play the "support," say that as well. Basically, mention all you're interested in playing! You may also want to be upfront about how much you want the flaw to play into the intimacy/sex: ie, whether it should be a side note or the focus of the thread.
  • Comment to others.
  • There are no prompts or RNG. Play out any aspect of this theme, whether it be the act itself, working slowly towards getting there, moments of dramatic steps backwards, opening up, or anything in between.

an amnesiac shipping meme


You have no idea who you are.

One day, you just woke up from the darkness, confused and alone. You barely remember your own name, much less why you're here...or where here is, even. Your own body is strange to you, and if you have some kind of power or ability, that must be frightening. Perhaps you're angry at everything so new and different, lost in this strange world you don't understand or know your own place in. Maybe you feel the need to hide away, lest you be crushed by everyone out there who is sure to hurt you.

You are so, so alone.

Only you're not. There is one person, one person who's found you and taken you in. They've shown you kindness, looking after you while you can barely look out for yourself. Out of the goodness of their heart, they've shown you things, taught you things. Most importantly, they're giving you a new sense of identity. And for that, you've begun to appreciate them. More than words can say, actually. You care for them so deeply that your heart hurts around them. Is that normal? What is this feeling? You can't imagine life without them, and leaving them- That's something you could never consider. Is this lov...

The word's on the tip of your tongue, but you can't figure it out, exactly. What you can figure out is that you want to give everything you can to the person who's done so much for them. You want to stay by their side and make them happy. You want to protect them at all costs.

So no one would blame you for getting confused when you see them with someone else or getting angry when you believe they're in danger. And certainly it's only natural for you to get frustrated when you want to tell them what you think of them, what they mean to you, and you can't figure out what to do. Perhaps following instincts will do?

One thing you know is that this bond and these emotions will never go away, not even when you learn who you are.

RULES
- This meme is for examining what happens when someone with no memories, potentially someone with powers or skills that could be dangerous at the very least, develops deep feelings for the person who's taken them in or is helping them realize their past. It can be played as awkward, adventurous, tragic, cracky, fluffy, truly romantic, or anything in between. You can play at the beginning, the part where emotions have strongly developed, or even when the amnesiac has regained their memories and must now deal with new feelings.
- Reply with your character and preferences. Mention if you'd like to play the amnesiac, the caretaker/help, or both.
- The role of caretaker does not have to always be beneficial. Maybe they caused this condition in the first place so the other character would be dependent, loving, and loyal towards them.
- Reply to others and play.

The (Possibly Awkward) Dating Meme


Dating is, when you think about, really weird. It's a totally different thing for different people. Some are friends for years before they date; others start dating on the same day they met. Sometimes, there's a lot mushy stuff involved; other times, the couple acts just like friends. None of this is necessarily right or wrong.

Whatever it is, your character and the character you reply to are now dating. How? That's up to you. Whether it be awkward or not, the relationship will be uniquely theirs.

How to Play
-Comment with your character and preferences.
-Reply to others.
-Have fun.

❝THE TRUE LOVE ♡ meme❞

Perhaps you're the kindest, most love-filled person in the world. Or, on the other hand, you may be a calculating, cold villain. But for this meme, everyone in this spectrum has one thing in common: you feel love towards someone. Not a facade, not even lust, but real, true love. This, of course, complicates things, yet your love is all-consuming and cannot be ignored.

How To Play:
  • This is a shipping meme that operates on "true love." You're welcome to interpret that as you will through your character and your character's culture/society/canon, but what your character will feel is equivalent to love. Not pretending, not a falsehood, etc etc. Actual love. This may be hard for them but that's the point of the meme!
  • Comment with your preferences.
  • Comment around to others. Respect their preferences.
  • Use the prompts or make up your own ideas.


Prompts:
1. First Love: You've never felt love before, at least not romantic love.
2. Been Burned Before: You had a relationship or loved someone before, and it didn't go well.
3. Fighting It: Nope. You don't want love. Not gonna happen.
4. Confession: You decide not to fight it. Instead, you just want to give in and tell the person, for better or for worse. Good thing they love you back...
5. Courtship: You want to take it slow, so you're doing the dating thing. Awww, how sweet.
6. Do That To Me One More Time: The obligatory smut option. You're using the physical to show the emotional.
7. I Don't Deserve You: You don't think you deserve the affection of the amazing, perfect person who loves you, disgusting and horrible and broken you.
8. Forbidden: It had to be here. You're both members of different factions, species, classes, and so on. But nothing will stand in the way of your feelings unless you let it.
9. Be My Bad Boy: Similar to the above but one of you is "good" while the other is "evil." Despite this, your relationship is just as strong and just as pure as anyone else's.
10. For Your Own Good: We all know the romance trope. One party must leave the other, though they still love them desperately. They must make their love hate them for their own good.
11. Trying to Make It Work: Through good times and bad, you've decided to work together for what you feel, because you know you'll only ever love this person.
12. Back Together: You only had room for one person in your heart, and they were the one that got away. Now, though, you have another chance.
13. I Refuse to Leave: Sometimes, even true love isn't all that good. Sometimes it's destructive and painful, and the person you love isn't the one who's good for you. But they love you, and you can't leave.
14. Keep Your Hands Off!: You have to defend your partner, and you won't let anyone stand in the way.
15. Marry You: You've decided to make things permanent. You're getting married to this person, or whatever other bonding ceremony applies.
16. Doomed: You are seeing this love through to the end, even if you know one of you is dying, being taken away, or otherwise gone from the picture.
17. Wildcard

There's something inherently adorable about relationships that involve the pairing of someone subdued with someone...not so much. Grumpy gusses with dour attitudes are much more bearable when they have a soft spot for a sweetie, aren't they? After all, there's potential for improvement on both ends: the grouch can get perked up, while the bubbly force of nature can be brought back down to earth.

Theoretically. Of course, it might end in tears and heartbreak but that doesn't ALWAYS happen, does it?

Your character not exactly a jerkass but can be a little glum? Or how about a kind heart who isn't exactly a social butterfly? That's fine, too. This meme can whet your want for kind/mean, badass/pampered, social/antisocial, rough/nurturing, tsundere -

Well. You get the picture. Right here is the place for all your favorite sweet/sour pairings. Ship that cuteness, and make that frown turn upside down.

HOW TO PLAY
✿ Comment with your character and preferences. Include if your character is the "sweet" or the "sour." Remember, you can be very liberal with the labels. You may also want to include what you're looking for (fluff, smut, etc).
✿ Sweets comment to sours and vice versa.
✿ There are no prompts, per se, but here are some ideas from other memes if you need them.
