don't let the man get you down

Here's Your Sign

There is a sign attached to your back. How did it get there? Who knows, but even if you notice it and try to take it off, it seems inexplicably difficult to do so.


1) TAUNTING - The sign is making fun of you somehow, pointing out a character flaw or feature in order to embarrass you.

2) INVITATION - The sign suggests that others do something to you, like "kick me" or "tickle me".

3) SECRETS - The sign reveals something you would rather not be known, whether it be the fact you cheated on a math test in fourth grade or that you're the one who shot Mr. Burns.

4) DESIRES - The sign reveals something that you've secretly always wanted to see, do, or know, inviting others to fulfill your wishes.

5) NONSENSE - The sign has something that makes no sense at all, be it random gibberish or just a non sequitur. Could be a good ice breaker, as you try to figure out the significance, if any.

6) INQUIRIES - The sign suggests that people ask you about something. Maybe you're an expert in the world of pin collecting and they should inquire, or it could be inviting them to ask why you betrayed your best friend.

7) BLANK - Why would there be a blank piece of paper stuck to you? Maybe someone has a marker and wants to fix that.

8) OTHER - Invent your own!

HOW IT WORKS:
♦ Leave a comment with your character's name and fandom in the subject. You can either pick an option or leave it open.
♦ Tag other comments and observe the signs.
♦ Have fun!

Emily A. Jones| Axis Powers Nyotalia

[changedbywar]

[Okay, so it's not really a bad sign on her back. All it says is "I WANT TO KISS ALL THE BOYS!"]

Genderswapped!Kanji Tatsumi | Persona 4

[bloodcurdling_cheesecake]

[Her sign? "Fucking blocks! I am going to climb the shit out of you!"]

[not_that_scary]

[...Yeah, he's got nothing.]

Maid Marian | Disney's Animated Robin Hood

[foxymaidmarian]

[Well, it's not a bad sign... really... but it will embarrass the heck out of her. The sign stuck to her back?]

[Kiss me, I'm cute.]

Re: Maid Marian | Disney's Animated Robin Hood

[foxylocksley]

[ Hello there, Miss Marian. I do hope you enjoy getting a little dip-kiss from your hubby. Or hubby-to-be. Or whatever. ]

Well, that little sign has rather a good point.

At least I'd say so.

porrim maryam | homestuck | OTA

[feministing]

[ her sign reads,

"Come at me, girls.♥" ]

Gilbert Nightray | Pandora Hearts

[ex_devoue66]

option a:

"I AM COMPLETELY TERRIFIED OF CATS."

[so someone should show him one?]

option b:

"I WANT TO BE SHOWN WHO MY REAL MASTER IS."

[show him who's boss? leashes, bindings, marking, etc, a bonus, as would establishing submission, but though I'm interested in a potentially sexual situation i'm not in the actual sex itself (skipping over the exact details/ftb) and please no bodily fluids other than blood.]

option c:

"ASK ME ABOUT THE TRAGEDY OF SABLIER."

[taunt the amnesiac]

[herebodybody]

Neow what are you so afraid of, big guy~?

[And here's Ms. Fortune draping herself over your back and purrrrrrrrrring. Have fun with that, Gilbert dear]

Yaten Kou | Sailor Moon

[starsensitiveinferno]

["Not a boy."]

Yuna | FFX-2 | 6

[silverwings]

[Ask me about sphere hunting!]

Dr. Bruce Banner | MCU

[staysangry]

Loki Laufeyson | Journey into Mystery

[notatroll]

[Most likely he's the one that put the sign on you.]

[outbackqueen]

[Yeah, let's see how that play's out.

A knee to the groin and a swift fist in the face when the unfortunate soul who ganders the sign on her back decides to try an act on it, whether it be something as physical and cliche as "kick me" or as bizarre as "call me momma," the end result is still kick, punch in that order.

Of course when it's revealed to her that there's a sign on her back you'd think she'd be apologetic and humble, but she's far from it.

They're just lucky she's decided to put her fist away.]

You've gotta be a real Muppet to act on everything you read...god, the world getting dumber. [Okay, now it's time to suss out the perpetrator of this little joke.]

Vaati | Minish Cap

[nice_hat]

*have a pint-sized demon mage walking around with a piece of paper stuck to his back that reads "hug me". Oh dear.*

Jonathan Morris | Castlevania

[okei]

[His sign reads: "Daddy Issues."]

Shoutaro Hidari | Kamen Rider W

[leftjoker]

[Half-boiled]

[changedbywar]

Yanno. Half-boiled is pretty good in your case. [She tilts her head as she eyes that sign.] I don't really think detectives should be the hard-boiled type. They shouldn't be naive by any stretch, but the reason to be a detective or any kind of hero is because you believe in the truth and justice. More than a force for order, you need to be a force for good, in what ever form that takes.

Koakuma | Touhou | OTA

[littledevil]

[Her sign is something like "annoying imp that thinks she's funny" to be honest. And probably put there in retaliation to her slapping a "kick me" sign on someone.]

Max Black | 2 Broke Girls | OTA

[andhomemadecupcakes]

[Probably a classic 'kick me' sign - or a 'hug me' sign to freak Max out]

Miles Edgeworth | Ace Attorney

[truthsnomiracle]

[The sign on the back of his blazer doesn't have writing.

Just a picture of a mule.]

Handwaved TVK CR?

[want_a_vacation]

*To his credit, he is trying not to laugh. Unfortunately, he's failing at making it not obvious that he has to try.*

Tim Drake | DC Comics | OTA

[drake_wayne]

["Wet Blanket"]

Miles "Tails" Prower | Sonic the Hedgehog

[twotailmechanic]

["Sonic fanboy"]

Vivi » Final Fantasy IX » OTA

[littlehat]

[Zidane thought it would be funny to put "Girls, talk to me!" on his back.]

DEATHWING LORD OF SIGNS | world of signcraft

[deathwarder]

[ 1. "Warm and fuzzy on the inside."

2. "Ask me about my borderline incestuous fascination with my own sister!"

3. "REVOS ILL OK MORDANAS ARCHIM MAZ NAZTHEROS ARCHIM XI ANTE MAZ-RE MISHUN TE NAGAS"

4. insert hilarious option here come at me ]

Let's go with option 2!

[appealingavarice]

So what about your borderline incestuous fascination with your sister?

[Greed recalls his relationship with his own sister, once upon a time, having been more flirtatious than most humans would consider appropriate, but then again they hadn't exactly come into being like humans either. Maybe it was the same for this guy. Or not, but Greed's not much for judging.]

Eliot Spencer (teen!AU) - Leverage

[retrieverchef]

[No matter what option, he's a 16-year-old kid, recently adopted. He acts completely normal most of the time, but he's got a lot of issues below the surface.]

Option 1: Damn it, Alec! [Apparently, one of his younger siblings has been picking on him. Again.]

Option 2: Murderer [His deepest, darkest secret. And the result of repeated threats and coersion. Also the source of most of the kid's issues.]

Option 3: [Apparently, his little sister got into the art supplies. There's no words on this one, but a beautifully drawn sketch of a wolf with bright, blue eyes. If he can get it off, the kid will probably hang it on his locker door at school.]

Elazul | Legend of Mana | OTA (smut allowed)

[blue_hearted_jumi_knight]

(Option A) Come touch the jewel in my chest! :D

(Option B) I love to be dominated in battle, followed by being dominated in bed.

(Option C) Ask me why I'm a jerkass.

(Option D) Duba dud dubababa dubba....

*Regardless of whatever words are on the paper (or even no words,) Elazul is unaware of its presence on the back of his cloak.*
