The Soulmate Meme


The Soulmate Meme
A soulmate (or soul mate) is believed by some to be the person with whom one has a feeling of deep or natural affinity, similarity, love, sex, intimacy, sexuality, spirituality, or compatibility.

In our world, the concept of soulmates is quaint, but frankly antiquidated. But somewhere out there, in the vast cosmos, there is a world that still values this tradition. No, not just values. Society is practically built around it. After all, they've found the powers of the soulmates. When they're together, both halves of the whole can find a peace that is desired by all; not only that, either, but also the two can unlock the. Everyone is believed to have a soulmate, and those who have yet to find there's a sense of emptiness that cannot be filled by other distractions. There are few limits on who can be destined for each other. The fates have often chosen people completely opposite of each other, some even on opposing sides or factions. Attraction between soulmates is instantaneous upon the first meeting, though relationship styles can very. It's almost always romantic, but sometimes not sexual, despite that usually being the case. Some even say that procreation can only be done by soulmates, but that's only a rumor and highly untested. Yet this bond is not always sunlight and rainbows. You'll practically feel each other emotions

The problem, of course, comes in finding one (if you even want to at all, as some rebel against the system as much as they can). How many people are out there, and what's the probability of finding them in a lifetime? What if they're not in the same country or even the same planet! There's also the dilemma of having only one soulmate. Though people can have plenty of lovers, those in this world can only find true satisfaction from their other half.

It's a twisted and difficult web, and sometimes unmatched people can face prejudice from those around them and the established order, but finding that one special person is said to trump all of that.

HOW TO PLAY:
1. Comment with your character
2. Reply around, using whatever option you want OR the RNG.
3. Play out some threads. Be soulmates, friends, other lovers, etc.
Prompts
1. First Meeting: You'll feel the spark almost on first sight. Yes, he's not your type. No, she's is a villain and your a hero. It doesn't matter. You can't chose these things.
2. Not Accepting: No, this person can't be it! They're so...so not what you've expected!
3. We Belong Together: You've decided to come together, like it's intended, and you're reaping the benefits.
4. Like Ships in the Night: The obligatory sex option. The two of you are cementing your bond in the most traditional of ways, and you'll soon learn that sex with others can't compare to sex with someone who's completely yours.
5. Stronger as Two: In battle or in life, the two of you combined are unstoppable.
6. There's Someone Else You've met your soulmate...but you're with someone else. Now that you know your other half is out there for sure, can you keep that up?
7. Love Will Tear Us Apart: Someone is hurting one half of the pair, and it's bringing pain to both of you. Maybe you can protect or save the other.
8. Not Fortune's Fool: You're flying solo. You have no intention of becoming a matched pair. Forget about what anybody else says, just focus on you.
9. Soulmates Never Die: Except when they do. Somehow, yours has passed on or is dying in your arms, leaving you alone in the world. How do you feel?
10. WILDCARD: Choose your own.

Well yes

[personal profile] braincandyheartstrings 2012-08-25 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ No. No, no, no and also no. Did she mention no? Because no.

Which would be why the feeling of yes that is warming her from inside is so very disturbing.

But soulmates are supposed to know each other from the first time they meet, and she's met Malfoy more times than anyone should have to!
]

There's been a mistake.

[ She is certain of this. She's not exactly sure how such a thing could be possible, or exactly where the mistake would have been made, but that doesn't change the irrefutable fact that something has gone wrong, and she intends to fix it.

Because no.

I love this already.

[ A huge mistake. T-this can be fixed, right? His father is influential! He's a pureblood, for Merlin's sake! This cannot possibly be happening. ]

This can be undone.

[ It's a feeble belief, at least. Far better than being pretty sure that this bond was meant to be forever.

Also, is there a more inappropriate moment for his brain to register that Hermione was actually attractive? Very much so? Draco's rational part surely thinks so, but on the other hand, there is this very irrational part of his that feels closer to her than he'd ever been to another human being, which might be responsible for the sudden realization of Hermione's beauty.

Beauty? Did he really just think that? Can't have been beauty, must have been mudblood.

This is wrong on so many levels. ]

[personal profile] braincandyheartstrings 2012-08-25 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Too many levels to count.

Soulmates are supposed to be, well, soulmates! Not dull-witted bullies with breath-takingly beautiful eyes.

Scratch that last bit, where did that even come from?

Her eyes widen in horror as she feels a strong need to take him in her arms and comfort him. He's looking so miserable!

Now more than ever she feels like weeping over the fact that Ron wasn't her soulmate.
]

Yes. There has to be a way.

[ But how. How!? ]

We should find out if there has ever been a case like this before.

[ The answer, as always, is research. ]
