Word Association is a common word game involving an exchange of words that are associated together. The game is based on the noun phrase word association, meaning "stimulation of an associative pattern by a word" or "the connection and production of other words in response to a given word, done spontaneously as a game, creative technique, or in a psychiatric evaluation."

THE VILLAIN MEME



WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
1. For the good of humanity. The ends justify the means - you only have their greater interests at heart, and you aren't afraid to get your hands dirty.
2. For someone I care about. There is nothing you won't do for your loved ones, and you won't let anyone stop you from proving it.
3. For myself. Screw everyone else. Your first priority is yourself, and if anyone doesn't like it, who cares? They're expendable.
4. For the reward. Some things are worth making a few enemies. Or a hundred.
5. For revenge. Watch out, world - you've got an origin story and a score to settle.
6. For the lulz. Hey, everybody's got a talent. Being the bad guy is pretty liberating, after all.
7. For the hell of it. No matter your motivations, everyone sees you as the villain. Might as well lean into it a little bit.

This is a meme for the bad guys.

"Every villain is a hero in his own mind."
- Tom Hiddleston

BE RESPECTFUL. The bad guys are bad for a reason, but players should know where to draw the line! •

Corrupted, Depraved, Addicted


There may be a part of all of us that is both drawn towards perfection and slightly unnerved by it. A straight line of items is appealing, yet we could feel more at ease if one thing was to the side just so. If things are already ruined, we don't have to worry about doing it ourselves. But, still, there exists at the core of a good deal of us some kind of primal urge that is very simple: destroy what's perfect. Make it flawed, like us.

This meme takes this dark and fairly insignificant desire and twists it to new extremes, combining it with that other age-old dichotomy of virgin/whore. Characters will want to corrupt another character, whether the latter is innocent or stoic and put together. They want to see them turned depraved, into a slut --- yet only addicted and loyal to them.

One concept that is different than other memes, however, is that the character doing the corrupting does not have to be flat out mustache-twirling evil. Anyone can want to be the corrupter, from the sweetest to the most rotten, because there are tons of varying interpretations of why they'd want to do it: as a kink, perhaps a mutual one with their lover, just to see if this so-called "perfect" person really is, out of genuine adoration, or even hoping. Of course, they could also just want to watch the world burn...and be mustache twirling evil.

RULES

• This meme is going to play somewhat into sluttification kinks, so obviously there's a problematic element here. All aspects of that kink IE dirty talk, humiliation, sexy clothing, loving depravation, etc, are welcome, but how straight or how far you take it is up to you. Disclaimer that nobody here believes in this shit, it's all kink, so on so forth.
• Comment with your character, preferences, and what role they're likely to play. I don't want to see this meme filled with pillow queening, though, so try to be flexible and proactive.
• Reply to others.

WHY

1. For Love: You want to make them yours in every way possible, and they're all for it.
2. For Curiosity: Can you really corrupt someone?
3. For Teaching: They want to be more worldly. Things are taken far, far into the opposite direction.
4. For Their Own Good: It would be better for them if they were more open. Much more open.
5. For Fetish: You get off to this. Maybe they do, too?
6. For Spite: You want to ruin their life. Nothing more, nothing less.
7. For Benefit: More than a lover, you want a right hand man. A henchman. A Harley Quinn, if you will.
8. Because You Can: You just like to fuck with people, and what better way to do it than this?
