The Random Mass Shipping Meme
Random Mass Shipping Meme
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love. There's nothing you can do that can't be done. Nothing you can sing that can't be sung. Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game. It's easy. There's nothing you can make that can't be made. No one you can save that can't be saved. Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time. It's easy. All you need is love, all you need is love, all you need is love, love, love is all you need. Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love. All you need is love, all you need is love, all you need is love, love, love is all you need.Shipping and smut memes are all well and good, but sometimes, people can feel a bit left out or hesitant to tag people on them. There's usually a lot of assumptions that have to be made, and we're afraid that what the person we're tagging really wants is a castmate or someone they already thread/ship with. And that's daunting.
In this meme, throw all that out the window. What we have here is nothing but RANDOM MASS SHIPPING as far as the eye can see. Like this character? Tag them. Have no clue who they are but want someone to play with? Tag. Think they have a pretty icon? TAG THAT RIGHT NOW. The pairings don't even have to make sense; heck, the more out of context, the better. You might just find that hey, this actually makes perfect sense! And that's the beauty.
HOW TO PLAY
- Comment with your characters, using the subject for the usual name, canon info, and so on.
- Comment to others. Whoever you want to, whoever catches your fancy. You don't need a reason. Don't feel shy. That's the point!
- Also, this meme isn't for tagging canonmates/CR as per usual (of course, no one will hunt you down, either). Go out on a limb and have some fun!
- Don't neglect to respond to those who come before you. This meme is meant for randomness, so having a bunch of nobody responding to anyone isn't good.
- Use the RNG to find a prompt, or make one up.
1. You wake up suddenly to find the "one that got away" sleeping quietly beside you.
2. You walk into your apartment or house to find your greatest love and your best friend are undressing each other on the kitchen floor. How do you react?
3. Your first date with the love of your life.
4. You have just recognized the girl or guy in the elevator with you. She/he is the person you loved from afar but never asked out. The elevator stops between floors. You two are alone and stuck for at least an hour. What do you do?
5. The person who completely broke your heart is meeting you for coffee.
6. Your most awkward, embarrassing school dance.
7. Your best first kiss, the lead up, and the aftermath.
8. You and your secret crush debate the topic, "better to have loved and lose then to have never loved at all."
9. Losing your virginity, the lead up, and the aftermath.
10. Your best friend within your sexual preference has just declared his or her long-standing feelings for you.
11. After casual sex, one of you says the words, "I love you." What happens then?
12. You are waiting for the love of your life to walk down the aisle, but someone comes in with a note. Your love has gotten cold feet!
13. A trip outside of your home country that you took with a romantic partner.
14. A memorable drug or alcohol experience that you had with a romantic partner.
15. The person who broke your heart the most came crawling back. How do you react?
16. You're having the most passionate intimate or sexual experience of your life!
17. This is the first time you're telling your sweetheart (or the person you admire from a distance) that wonderful and scary phrase, "I love you."

I swear you're the only one who can make me listen.
[Mostly because she couldn't stand him being upset with her, so Nariko offers it right back. But now she's worried on top of remaining horribly oblivious.]
I'm sorry.
[Did she mention not being able to stand him being upset with her? To the extent that she would even blatantly apologize. No funny business or anything.]
no subject
But... the only one who can make her listen?]
What's that supposed to mean? [But he doesn't sound defensive. He sounds - if anything, he sounds unusually hesitant. Almost vulnerable.]
no subject
Meanwhile, her head tilts, a grin on her face to cover a set of nerves.]
It means exactly what the words imply. I don't just pay attention to anyone. Way too awesome for that.
[But anyway! Back on topic.]
I hope you can change your mind, sometime soon.
no subject
[No, he's not dropping this topic. It sounds like he's begging for compliments, but really, he needs her to say something if this means more than "Hey, man, you're a great friend." Because he's not going out on a limb for a chance.]
no subject
I don't know!
[Yes she does, and it shows in her eyes right before she directs them elsewhere.]
It's just [She's really not the type of girl to know how to dance around topics and remain ambiguous. Which likely means she fails at being a girl in general.] It's you. I don't ever want things to be messed up between us, and I really don't care about anyone elses opinions and all that mess.
[Wow she is so bad at this, but it's definitely more than a 'hey you're a great friend' kind of deal.]
1/2
2/2
I've never. Never cared about anything other than myself. I've never had a choice. If I'm gonna change that - I need to know that it's for more than just some girl who thinks I have a hot ass or gets off on fire. I need to know that when shit gets ugly, she's still gonna be there. Because shit can get really ugly around me.
no subject
Nariko is almost relieved when he gets serious, though there's a fair bit of apprehension that comes along with that.]
... For the record I do get off on fire. Just to be honest.
[(And he does have a nice ass.) Except that's not the point and she knows that. It's just that this is the part where she answers and like he said, Nariko isn't all that smooth when put on the spot about something personal like this.]
But - I think there are more important things than that. Even knowing things can go south at any moment is pretty fucking terrifying. [But that's life in general. It just so happens that, unsurprisingly, his life is very different from some others.] Some things in life are worth all the ugly shit and more. If it means giving it a fair shot and being with them.
At least that's what I think.
no subject
So. [He finally closes his fingers around the flame, snuffing it out.] The only question left, as I see it, is this: are you talking hypothetically, or are we doing this?
[It's time for someone to bring this back into reality. They're both dancing around the issue, which is ridiculous for two strong personalities like theirs. As insecure as he feels about the issue, he won't deal with uncertainty forever.]
no subject
She pouts as it goes out, looking back to him, lips parted and ready to deliver a sarcastic quip, a dumb joke. But he gets right to it and for a moment there Nariko is a nervous girl, one who can't stand rejection any more than he can.
But it is true that of all things, Nariko is strong. She's not a mutant but she isn't someone to intentionally piss off either, and yet this is getting her? No. Not acceptable.
So Nariko's answer is to lean over their small table and press her lips over his, simple at first until her hands rest on his shoulders, hold his face and she adds depth to it, a small sense of urgency. And when neither of them can breathe she sits back down, smirking.]
There's my answer.
