THE INADEQUACY MEME

[formerlyknownas]

you're trying to do something and it's just not going right. whatever the task is, you are just not on your game today. you're going to need some help-- or at least, some sympathy. (or maybe just people to laugh at your ineptitude.)

comes in three flavors. red for fail smut, blue for general skills, and green for ridiculous ideas.

RED.
I. The Great Disappointment.
There was hype, or expectations, and it just wasn't what you were hoping. There's still time to please your partner, but you really need to step your game up.

II. Dying Magic.
Your love was once a burning flame, now; a flickering pile of embers. It might take something really out of your safe zone to get things interesting again.

III. Like a Virgin.
One or both of you seriously have no idea what you're doing, and it's getting really awkward. Time to reflect on what adult magazines and the internet have taught you.

IV. Come And Gone.
You just can't seem to last with your partner. Maybe they're too sexy, or you need some 'stamina training'...

V. All Fucked Out.
Routine and repetition have made sex boring. Your normal moves and skills aren't going to be enough tonight. You need to get creative.

VI. Got No Game.
The spark's not happening. It's time for some drastic measures... or settle for spooning.

BLUE.

I. Mystery Food X.
You have created food that is truly awful, tastes which should be outlawed. You might be a terrible cook or just an idiot-- either way, there is no nice way to explain this mess you've attempted to create.

II. Do It Yourself Repairs.
Whatever state it was in before you entered the picture, it's a lot worse now. You stare at the dismantled toaster in front of you and reflect on your life and your choices.

III. Fighting Words.
You talked a big game, but now you're wishing you hadn't-- you suck at fighting and now everyone knows it. You're simply outclassed and their fist is about to educate you.

IV. Everyone's A Critic.
No one understands your artwork. It's completely terrible (and not in a subjective way), but you still have faith in your poor art skills.

V. See Dick Run.
Who convinced you to try getting into sports and exercise? You're making an embarrassment of yourself.


GREEN.
I. Let's Get Meta.
Reply to someone with your character attempting (poorly) to RP as them-- then the other person can judge you, intensely. Your characters are now the muns. God help us.

II. Pipe Dreams.
Your character is having an identity crisis of some sort, and has decided to pursue a new profession or life dream-- something they have unrealistic expectations for, and totally blow at. It might be dull, Jack, but sometimes it's best to stick with what you know...

III. Choose Your Own Adventure.
Go for it, champ.

[Sam's going to try to be nice here. It's hard for him to be nice to villains, considering the Big Bad he knows tried to cut his brain out...but he's going to try to be nice anyway.]

Just because Nicki Minaj publicly decried your music for rupturing her appendix doesn't mean everyone feels that way. I don't.

[Because he doesn't have an appendix anymore. :')]

[hypnotic_patter]

I'm going to kill her. I'm going to kill her and all of them and everyone is going to die. [He's pacing the stage, fists clenched. It's not that he cares about Minaj so much as everyone agreeing with her.] It was an equipment malfunction, I'm sure of it!

[nonononono]

[Balls.]

How are you going to kill her? Dude, you know I can't let you do that.

[...]

That includes not letting you send her music that's got some sort of wavelength that will liquify her brain the moment she hears it. Can you not pretend I'm stupid like that again?

[ you might think that captain hook, as a captain of a pirate ship, would be a decent swordfighter. a good one, even.

and, okay, you're not entirely wrong. it's not that he's bad. it's just that, well. emma's successfully knocked him on his ass and got her sword pressed into his throat now. to be fair, she did slay a dragon. ]

Aren't you supposed to be good at this?

[unhand]

[Okay, he may have underestimated her. But everything about her was so strange, he simply assumed she wouldn't be any good with the weapons he was used to.]

I'm having an off day.

[Which means it's time to cheat. The nice thing about having a hook for a hand? It's great for grabbing swords and won't even get sliced up the way a normal hand would. He slips it around the blade and pushes it away from his throat, twisting a little to try and disarm her.]

[uncurse]

[ it almost twists the hilt out of her hand, but she grips tighter and forcibly twists the blade the other way, driving it downwards as well to stab it into the dirt beside his head. yeah she just pinned his hook uncomfortably to the dirt because he had the brilliant idea of trying to use it to disarm her.

welcome to the inadequacy meme, where every tag is a crit fail. ]

Have you ever had an on day?

You call that music?

[sistersheshe]

[ The nerve! Still, Not As Planned. You do not seem to be clutching your head or screaming. ]

Hmph! As if rejects like you could fare any better!

Simply relax and let our voices carry you!

Into an abyss from which there's no rising, that is....

[ Yet you've made them pause their song, Chris. ]

[megadethparty]

Don't make me laugh! I could sing better than you in my sleep.

.. Are you sure we're doing this right? [Mixing bowl on hand, Nate looks over to his son, raises a brow. This.. isn't turning out so well.]

[technobird]

We should be. [Tim's re-reading the recipe. He's double-checked the ingredients, even googled the recipe to be sure...

Sure, Mom's handwriting is a little messy, but they're following her instructions to the letter!] It's... not supposed to look like that, is it?
