Thirst Trap meme!

The Thirst Trap Meme


 

Set a scene, get the right angle, reveal a little thigh, and snap! A thirst trap is a sexy photo posted on social media to attract attention. It can also refer to a person considered sexy—a social-media crush. Emerging from selfie culture, the well-staged thirst trap is a provocative photo, often with a coy or confident caption, that will trap (attract) thirst (attention, in the form of comments, likes, etc.).

 
Because, really, what’s the point of posting if no one is going to notice?
 
 
How it works:
 
- Post with your character name and fandom in the subject line. Include any prefs or no-no's.
- Comment with a link to an image of your character's very own thirst trap. To be safe, label them accordingly! (i.e., NSFW or not.)
- Tag around! Respond to others! Rate them, judge them, tell them what you wanna do to them.
- Think of this as the marriage between the Hot or Not Meme and the Rate That Ass Meme.
- Have fun and be excellent to each other!

[ Gasp! Ankles! Scandalous!! ]

I imagine that is not the case with Linhardt, but you should beware someone with less than noble intentions might have... taken advantage of your positioning.

[ Try not to blush over ankles, Dimitri. ]

Are you suggesting that looking up my skirt was the first thing that came to your mind?
madjesty: (2.)

[personal profile] madjesty 2020-06-26 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ Too late, he's a blushing maiden...! ]

Only because I know how the minds of men can work. I am close friends with Sylvain, you see.

[personal profile] crestsidestory 2020-06-26 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ Then he's fortunate that he wasn't the one between her feet. ]

I see. But your mind doesn't work that way at all, correct?
madjesty: (10.)

[personal profile] madjesty 2020-06-26 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ That would've been one painful way to end him. Using Aymr is far more merciful. ]

I would not go as far as saying that, but I do think I can reel it in whenever it is inappropriate or unwanted. Much like the present situation.
crestsidestory: (05)

[personal profile] crestsidestory 2020-06-26 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ Is a glimpse of her thigh as dangerous as a blade? ]

Hmm. Dare I ask what you would have said if you had not chosen to reel yourself in first?

[ It's purely curiosity. ]
madjesty: (10.)

[personal profile] madjesty 2020-06-26 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ Let's just say blades stimulate the blood flow towards the appropriate head and leave it at that. ]

That is... something I could reveal only under different circumstances.

[ So it should be either appropriate or wanted. Which is it going to be? ]
crestsidestory: (54)

[personal profile] crestsidestory 2020-06-26 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
I think the fact that I am asking makes it appropriate, don't you agree?

[ She will not say it is wanted. ]
madjesty: (1.)

[personal profile] madjesty 2020-06-26 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ Edelgard forgets that they never do seem agree on much of anything these days, doesn't she? ]

As a matter of fact, I do not. Your asking is but another whim; it will be gone before this conversation is finished, yet anything I might say would certainly not be forgotten with ease.
crestsidestory: (30)

[personal profile] crestsidestory 2020-06-26 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ Perhaps for once she was the one too idealistic. It seems to her that he should consider her capable enough not to ask things she is unwilling to know. ]

You think this is a whim?
madjesty: (10.)

[personal profile] madjesty 2020-06-26 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, he does. He fully expects her to be willing to know; it's the truth of his feelings that would be unwanted, not to say immediately discarded. ]

It must be. My thoughts on this matter should be of no inherent worth to you, as far as I understand. Or do you wish me to simply sing your praises?
crestsidestory: (08)

[personal profile] crestsidestory 2020-06-26 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ Has he considered laying down his arms? That could make an impression. ]

I think you may have forgotten that you started this conversation, Dimitri.
madjesty: (7.)

[personal profile] madjesty 2020-06-26 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ He would, if she did the same. If she would be willing to talk to him about more than scandalous feelings of lust over bare ankles. ]

I have not. I did so out of consideration for your modesty. We may cross blades now, but we were friends, once.

[ Not just at the Academy, either. ]
crestsidestory: (38)

[personal profile] crestsidestory 2020-06-26 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ The only reason she talks to him about potentially scandalous feelings is because he spoke up in the first place. ]

We were classmates.
madjesty: (12.)

[personal profile] madjesty 2020-06-26 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
... right. I misspoke.

[ He so did not. ]

Be that as it may, I would have done the same for any other woman. It is only the right thing to do, nothing more.
crestsidestory: (55)

[personal profile] crestsidestory 2020-06-26 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
So it is mere chivalry.

A bare calf would have no affect on you in similarly close quarters.
madjesty: (10.)

[personal profile] madjesty 2020-06-26 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
Not any bare calf, no. Chivalry aside, I am still a man, and certainly not immune to feminine attributes.

[ But, again, it all boils down to circumstances. And feelings. Sappy, gross feelings. ]
crestsidestory: (05)

[personal profile] crestsidestory 2020-06-26 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ Feelings? She doesn't know them. ]

Is 'not yours' what you mean to say?
madjesty: (1.)

[personal profile] madjesty 2020-06-26 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Whatever she says. ]

Must you always look for hidden meanings behind my words? I said what I meant to say. Or should I also explain the circumstances in which a regular bare calf would become special to me?

[ At this point, that might be more straightforward than a yes or no answer. That, he can't provide. ]
crestsidestory: (32)

[personal profile] crestsidestory 2020-06-26 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
If you feel the whim, yes, indulge me.

[ Know your enemy, as they say. ]
madjesty: (13.)

[personal profile] madjesty 2020-06-26 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Not sure what she's gonna do with this particular bit of information, but okay. ]

Very well. The only circumstance in which I would allow my thoughts to stray that far would be my connection to that person. They would have to be someone I care deeply about, enough to pursue a relationship with without the immediate fear of rejection. Someone who gave me strength, as I would lend them mine.

[ Yes, he's an old-fashioned dumb romantic, it runs in the family. ]
crestsidestory: (55)

[personal profile] crestsidestory 2020-06-26 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It contributes to a greater understanding! ]

You are quite the romantic, then.

[ Forgive her if she seems a bit surprised. ]

So your thoughts would only linger on how attractive a bare leg is if you had already entered into a relationship with that person?
madjesty: (2.)

[personal profile] madjesty 2020-06-26 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, I suppose you may call it that.

[ He can't blame her for being surprised, though; up until not long ago, he was just a murderous beast, after all. But he may be surprised she's not downright calling him a fool. ]

But yes, that is how I would ideally hope to behave. Although I cannot claim to be wholly in control of my feelings, either. I don't believe anyone ever could.

[ Meaning his thoughts may or may not stray to how attractive someone is, even when they're completely out of reach. ]
crestsidestory: (28)

[personal profile] crestsidestory 2020-06-26 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She would not have been surprised to hear something similar from the Dimitri she faced in mock battles at the Academy, but things are very different now. He is very different.

But perhaps not quite as different as she believed. ]


You are human, Dimitri. None of us can control our every passing thought.
