Arrangements  

Arranged Marriage Turned More


To have and to hold, you said, till death do us part, all while the sharp, swinging pendulum of obligation hung overhead. But how could you have truly meant those words? This union has been tainted from the start, forever bearing the chains of an arranged marriage. It would be understandable if you couldn't bear to look at your new life partner, eternal reminder of your stolen future that they are, much less like them.
Much less love them...

Still, things can change.

You could realize that they are in the same boat as you or, that when compared to others around you,
they are the lesser of evils. Perhaps you even open up to the idea of a friendship; at the very least,
an alliance may be in order to become a power couple in a perilous world. From that innocent decision or sense of self-preservation, a new feelings sparks. Something like affection.

Something, you realize in the wake of speeding heartbeats, like love.

Will you acknowledge this? Can the two of you have a happily ever after - happier than if you'd met in another fashion - or will you hold firm in your distaste?

how to play.
- Everybody loves "couples forged by less-than-ideal circumstances" tropes!
- Comment with your character, prefs, all that good stuff.
- Reply to others.
- IDEC where you set your threads, it's wide open. Fantasy world with hairy hobbits, old-timey lands, future AUs, do a space marriage for all I care. I'm sure they're still getting married in Star Wars or whatever.

i have a type: the meme

How to play:
  • Post with your character.
  • Describe their preferences for a romantic partner or just a person they wanna bang/smooch in a generalized way.
  • This is shown to EVERYBODY.
  • Reply to those comments indulging, teasing, mocking, being scandalized or so on.
  • Or you can just go the lazy route, like certain songs.

Happy Holidays Meme


It's the most wonderful time of the year! Wherever your character is, whatever their feelings on the plethora of holidays found in December, they're bound to be caught up in the festivities. It's up to you what kind of holiday they'll experience! (Feel free to exchange Christmas for whatever holiday your character celebrates.)

Memes that Aren't Convoluted

In Love with the Gangster's Girl
From the moment you first set eyes on them, you've been drawn - but this is no meet-cute. They are completely unavailable to you: they're sworn to a duty, already spoken for (by someone powerful or evil, no doubt), precious cargo, a caged bird kept away from prying eyes, a possession of a wicked creature. Whatever the case, they are off-limits. The problem is...they are struck by you, too.

Will you fight your feelings, or will you free them so they can be with you? Either way, there's a high probability of it all going up in flames.

HOW TO PLAY
  • Comment with your character, preferences, role, and any other information to make you more taggable.
  • Reply to others.
  • RNG if desired.
  • This meme is slightly inspired by this trope, but the setting can be anywhere and the genre anything.


WHO
  1. Caged: You're the victim here, kept locked away.
  2. Taken: You're in a relationship - consensual or otherwise - so you should only have eyes for one. That's not exactly the case...
  3. Passerby: Here you are, minding your own business, when - who's that? Why are they there?
  4. Rescuer: Whether you're a knight in shining armor type or someone simply paid or commanded to do this job, you never thought you'd fall for the one you had to rescue.
  5. Conflict of Interest: You're a guard, but you can't very well do your duty if you want the person you're guarding let go.
  6. Unknowing Villain: You had no idea your allies were keeping someone and you don't agree with their methods.
  7. Enemies: They did wrong by you in the past; even they don't deserve this, though.
  8. Should Be Reviled: Your people and theirs have never gotten along. You should hate them, yet you don't. You want to save them.
  9. Who's the Monster?: They're being locked away because they're a monster. No one could be further from a beast in your eyes, however.
  10. Never Felt Before: Usually, you're stone cold, but their plight has gotten under your skin.
  11. In this Together: Both of you are prisoners, so you can't easily save them, can you?
  12. Not All Bad: They're been told that they're being protected. You want to show them the outside world isn't so bad.
  13. The Better Devil: To be honest, you're not much better than their captor. Still, you're something new.
