a meme comm - July 24th, 2016
24 July 2016 @ 12:37 am
 texting meme You’ve got your TFLN, you’ve got your sexting, now here’s the meme for all those gen texts, phone calls, voicemails, pictures of your cats, and whatever else your little heart can come up with, because who doesn't like a little old fashioned friendly texting. (Or enemy texting, if that's more your bag.) instructions: What it says on the tin! Leave a blank comment, include preferences, a start, or anything you want. Run around and reply to others. Lather, rinse, repeat. (minor mix-up last time, it's all straightened now.) |

Congratulations. You are a toy. No ifs ands or buts about it. You're the action figure version of yourself, you're the stuffed animal version of yourself, you're Magical Girl Barbie, you're some kind of plasticky toy version of yourself that you get in Happy Meals, no matter what you are, you are a toy. You have always been a toy and you will always be a toy. Have fun being made of stuffing and having no junk.
In the comments, describe what kind of toy you are, how long you've been with Andy/whoever your owner is (cause let's be real, Andy ain't gonna own no ponies). Scenarios that you can choose from include...
one: birthday party
Person A is a toy already owned by the owner. Person B is new in town, fresh out of the plastic, ready to be played with.
two: the plot of toy story 1
Person A knows full and well he's a toy. Person B actually thinks that he's Captain America, Sailor Moon, Goku, etc. etc. Have fun trying to convince him, Person A.
three: daycare
AAAAAAH CHILDREN. How are y'all going to survive this?
four: off to college
Look, we've all seen Toy Story 3, do I really need to put something here?
five: wildcard

For those unaware, Captcha was turned on the comm temporarily so that mods could deal with a case of harassment. It has now been turned off, and the previous settings of the comm set back where they were.
Thank you for your patience.
That said: we would like to reiterate that Bakerstreet is a meme comm, and is not the place for harassment of other players. Remember: Don't be an ass to other people. Please. Respect each other.
This includes commenting to their threads with nasty comments, or PMing their inboxes, and isn't tolerated no matter who started said cycle first. Those responsible will be banned from the comm.
However - to effectively deal with this, we do need people to let us know when that is happening. Either through the problems post, or through PMs so that we are able to follow up on these cases. We can only take action if a formal complaint or report is made.
My personal open contact post is here.
Please don't bring up only off-site occurrences as evidence, unless it's been linked directly here, we can't police what occurs outside of this comm. This includes anon comms like wankgate, as well as tumblr and plurk.
Edited to add: New problems post link.
This post is comment enabled, though all of them are screened at the moment.

Meme, Interrupted
"People ask, How did you get in there? What they really want to know is if they are likely to end up in there as well. I can't answer the real question. All I can tell them is, It's easy."
"People ask, How did you get in there? What they really want to know is if they are likely to end up in there as well. I can't answer the real question. All I can tell them is, It's easy."
Well, you've really done it now. You're in a mental institution. Maybe it's a modern facility with a therapy garden, compassionate staff members, and a warm environment meant to help nurse people back to health, or maybe it's a glorified dungeon where the government shoves people they don't want to deal with and patients are abused by staff. Regardless of what it is, you're there, and it doesn't look like they're planning on letting you out any time soon.
Maybe you're actually not supposed to be there and you're trying to arrange for your release. Maybe you actually are meant to be there and you're struggling with your illness. Maybe you're not a patient at all and you're just there to visit or earn your paycheck. It's up to you.
Rules:
1. Post with your character's name, canon, and your preferences on the subject bar, and set up the situation.
2. Tag other people. Are you a visitor? A staff member? A fellow patient? A hallucination? It's your choice.
3. Have fun!

In the near future, Earth experiences first contact not from the sky above, but the sea below — with devastating consequences. Through the breach came Kaiju, great towering monsters that destroyed all in their path. The world set aside its differences and came together to combat the deadly threat with monsters of their own: Jaegers. The gigantic robots are controlled by two pilots connected through one neural link, and thrown into battle against the Kaiju to beat back the threat and save humanity.
Today, we face the monsters at our door, and cancel the apocalypse.
Instructions:
» Post with your character's name, series and chosen role(s) in the subject line.
» Use RNG or choose a location and scenario to tag others.

 You know exactly what to expect: out there, in that big wide word, is the person who's just for you. A soulmate, maybe. A destined lover. The story's always the same. The princess falls for the prince, her knight and shining armor. The heroes will grow to love one another. Happily ever after. Except, somehow, a chapter from another book got put into your tale. You have the one you know you should be with, or you know where or who they are...yet somehow, somewhere, your heart got stolen by another. A heroic soul loves a bandit. Snow White is charmed by a dwarf instead of good-looking royalty. So maybe you do have a choice. Will you follow your script and be with who the fates intend, or take a chance and go where your own desires lead? — basically, with all the ~destined~ couples and SOULMATES4lyfe memes floating around out there, I wanted to do a #teamfreewill fuck destiny!!1 one. |

  Don't be so cynical: love at first sight definitely exists. What also exists is love at wrong sight. Both of you feel a spark, hearts a-flutter, magnetism in full force, all the tell-tale signs of an instant pull, so what's the problem? Well, there are some big problems. One of you could be taken, you could be on opposites sides of a battle or movement, you have a duty that conflicts with romance, this could be the wrong place at the absolute wrong time, the attraction could be forbidden, or any litany of pitfalls you can imagine could exist. Oh why oh why are you having this sudden swooning now? Here? It's no use denying you're in a pickle. The quandary is...will you avoid this flight of fancy or will affairs of the heart hit you square in the chest? HOW to PLAY

Post with your character! They're now stuck in a very cold place of your choice. It can be anything, such as a freezing chamber, a cavern or a small cabin in the midst of a blizzard. The choice is up to you.
Comment around! Now your character has some company in this bone-chilling environment. The two of them share two things in common: clothes completely unfitting for this weather (be they summer clothes or even lingerie) and a blanket.
A blanket? Yes, just one warm blanket and no other ways to escape the cold. The two of them will have to share it in order to stay alive in this weather. Don't worry, you're sure to find a common language in this terrible situation!
So, uh, have fun, I suppose. Try to not freeze to death!
Protip: friction and body heat are both excellent ways to fend off cold.

Under the Sea AU Meme
Whether it’s the little mermaid or 20,000 leagues, this meme is all about the mysterious depths of the sea and the creatures that live in it. Which now very well may include you. Are you a marine biologist, a submarine explorer, or a creature of the dark and murky abyss? Perhaps, like Ahab, you’ve spent years on the waves, hunting some creature that lurks beneath. Perhaps you live in a house by the sea, and every night you watch the waves, but tonight the waves have dragged in something new and different.
There are unknown realms beneath the sea. Dread Cthulhu sleeps. Ariel sings. And adventure is awaiting.
How to play:
- Post with your character’s preferred role and a prompt or two, along with preferences and any canon or AU info that might be important.
- Venture forth into the watery deeps.
