the island of misfit prompts

[dyslexic]

Because sometimes you can't decide what meme to post to and you'd rather choose from a bunch of random disjointed prompts instead.


1. You're trapped in a McDonald's. It's only a matter of time until the McNuggets run out or the McFlurry machine breaks …
2. You're trapped in an elevator and it's like that M. Night Shamawhatever movie so the devil is haunting you in it and you're probably going to die.
3. You're trapped in one of those giant meat freezers and slowly freezing to death with the other person in the thread. Will you huddle together for warmth like Seth Green in that one move?
4. tfln. Everyone good random prompt meme needs tfln.
5. mpreg. See above. Aliens? Genetic mutations? That breeding stable meme redux? It happened, and now you've got to get your shit together.
6. You have a big secret to tell the other person and now is your only chance.
7. You woke up naked in a hotel room with the other person and no clue how you got there. This is some The Hangover-type shit.
8. Kinky times. Because every random meme needs a smut prompt, too. Get your 50 Shades of Grey on.
9. Body horror. You and/or person b are mutating into a zombie/robot/vampire/furry/cthulu/etc. and it's freaky ass shit.
10. Disney time. You and person b are now acting out the Disney movie of your choice.
11. Roadtrip! One car, one … cup?
12. Ghost, Patrick Swayze style. You or person b is a ghost, and now you're trying to communicate with them from the other side. (NO POTTERY.)
13. Human centipede. I'll just leave this one up for interpretation.
14. Mr. and Mrs. Smith. You and person b are both keeping huge secrets from each other, but one of you is getting ~~suspicious~~!
15. High school AU. What it says on the tin.
16. ZOMBIES!!!!!! Were you bitten? Are you hiding out in a shack somewhere in the middle of a post-apocalyptic wasteland? Better figure that shit out.
17. A raccoon is trapped in the house and now you and person b have to figure out how the fuck to kill it.
18. You're dying a slow tragic death so you better get those last words the fuck out.
19. You're possessed by a ghost/demon/yeerk/whatever the fuck. Fight for dominance or … don't, no one actually gives a shit.
20. You're connected by a red string of fate to the other person and you follow it and find them and hook up? Get hella kawaii.

[Okay, so he can get around the blocking. That's fine. That's okay. Justin can deal.

He can also not respond to the text.

Because if there's one thing he knows from years of being subjected to Tony Stark's antics every time he turns on the TV, it's that Tony doesn't like being ignored.]

[norussianplz]

[He's almost asleep when the next text comes, which is annoying and he really wants to snap back with a YOU. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. But that's what Tony wants, and if this is the only thing Justin will ever be able to deny him, by God he will.

So he looks at it, clenches his fingers to prevent himself from texting back, and sets the phone back down.

Problem solved.]

[norussianplz]

[Don't respond to it. Don't respond to it. Just ignore it. Ignore it, go to sleep, and forget about it. Don't respond to it. It's a silent pep-talk that he keeps running through his mind as he stares at the phone, willing himself to ignore the instinctive urge to reach for it and read the message.

Because it's not fair. The man ruins his life and now he won't let him alone. And for no reason! That's the worst part of it. It's not because he's mad about the Vanko business or anything else, Justin doesn't even rate on the pissed off revenge scale. He doesn't rate on anything. It's just Tony being Tony and he hates it.]

What do you want?

[norussianplz]

[Seeing that response makes him grind his teeth in frustration. He'd known he shouldn't respond, but he did, and now here's proof that he'd been right the first time. Of course, now the point's been ruined and there's nothing he can do about it.]

I responded. Congratulations. Hypothesis tested. Now you can go back to ignoring your girlfriend or whatever.

[norussianplz]

[Worry about your own teeth, Anthony.]

Did you ask a question? In that wall of text, I couldn't tell. My eyes just glazed right over most of it.

[norussianplz]

[Iron Man might be a national hero, but you're not.]

Well, Anthony, we'd all like something, wouldn't we? But how often do we get what we want? Learn to accept that there are some things you just can't have.

[norussianplz]

[Tony can't hear him laughing, but he is. Because that's just rich, coming from him. He doesn't know a damn thing about Justin, why would he? Justin's never been a blip on his radar.]

I guess this qualifies as that 15-20% then, doesn't it?

[norussianplz]

[Just stay oblivious, Anthony. You might hurt yourself trying to use that big old brain of yours for anything that isn't comprised of wires and circuit boards.]

Yes. I enjoy having juvenile arguments via text on a tiny keyboard. How did you know?

[Spoilers: That's sarcasm. Just a little FYI.]

[norussianplz]

[He'll believe it when he sees it.]

Circular discussion. Repetitious conversation. Take your pick.

[norussianplz]

[No can do, man. Justin isn't going to live forever.]

You sent me a text intended for someone else, by accident, and you want me to tell you anything? Really? You don't see the problem here? Because I do.

[norussianplz]

[Still not buying it.]

An opportunity for what, exactly? Spell it out for me. We're not all as smart as you.

[norussianplz]

[He's not going to hold his breath.]

Talk about what?

[norussianplz]

[This is going to make him sound like a woman. He knows that it will, but it's text and it's late and fuck it all, he's too tired to deal with this level of bullshit right now.]

If you have to ask, then you're never going to understand.
