THE HELP DESK MEME


Have you tried shoving it up your arse?

No man is an island. Sometimes, you really, really need help on something that none of your friends can help with. In times like this, it's time to turn to a help line! Sadly, just because you call a HELP line doesn't necessarily mean you're going to get a helpful PERSON. Likewise, whether you realize it or not, you may be subjecting the person on the other end of the line to some amazingly stupid lines of inquiry.

Of course, it could all just go normally. But when has THAT ever made for interesting RP?

Standard meme rules here:

1. Post your upper level. Note what type of help line it is in your title, NOT your canon/character name.
2. People who tag in are calling into your help line.
3. Hilarity. Maybe.

Pardon me while I double post so I don't fill the front page of the meme with things that happen like 40 hours into a 60 hour Visual Novel.

So...alright, this is going to sound weird, but bear with me.

I'm sure we've all either been or heard of that villain, the one who gets redeemed by love, just wanted the attention of a good man and finally got it, whatever. We all know the story, I'm not going to justify it, let's just say it happened to me.

The thing is, my new husband and former antagonist...he really liked the fighting. Like, really liked it. I'm not going to say I don't, either, even if I'm Glenda Goodwitch or whatever now. The thing is, our relationship still involves a lot of yelling and arguing and sometimes physical fighting, entirely consensual and enjoyed, but...how do I know if I'm taking it too far? I'm bad at catching myself and worried about crossing the line from rough play and banter into Actual Villainy again, and it's got me constantly anxious. How does one go about setting limits on oneself when one's entirely heroic partner likes things rough and loud?

Okay, honestly? I get you. My thing's different, but my girlfriend actually likes my scheming, sneaky side. I'd say it isn't really a problem as long as you limit such things to within the confine of your relationship and stop when he really wants you to. Speaking of, I strongly recommend adopting a safeword especially if you like to get kinky about it. Basically a word you won't usually be using particularly in that context, and when one of you says it, both of you have to stop what you're doing. Then you can talk it out.

Hm...I'm familiar with the concept in strictly sexual situations, but for our usual arguments...well, as long as there's a risk of me attempting to stab him to death again it's probably worth it.

I mean, I can bring him back, but that's gone from me trying to impress him to just being pointlessly rude.
