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!

We can agree on one thing and it's that no part of me, ears or otherwise, will ever be as furry as you, fur face.

<sub>[What are you talking about? He's a darling. How can you live with yourself, besmirching his great ass and delightful personality?

One of those things is at least true.]</sub>

Jeez, must've been some late night for you to attack my character, too.

[canisunrequites]

Yeah but you'd be just as weirded out over a furless wolf as I'd am of that furry a man.

[Excuse him. He needs to go mime either throwing up a little in his mouth or spitting out a drink he doesn't have. "Darling" his ass.

The great ass is a "maybe" he'll give him.]

Dude, you called me a lazy whiner; I called you a big asshole.

Don't be jealous my insult's better.

[aconitia]

_{[No, he wouldn't, because he's not a baby, you baby.]}

It's adorable when your puff your chest out.

[canisunrequites]

That's called flexing, you peacock.

[And you just want to touch it.]

[aconitia]

No, chest puffing is definitely reserved for baby werewolves.

That's you, in case you needed clarification.

_{[Maybe. It is a nice chest and he does have working eyeballs.]}

[canisunrequites]

You really want me to kick your ass through the woods, huh...

[Because them's fightin' words, pardner.

(And it'd feel good to knock this jerkass around.)

Maybe ogle.]

[aconitia]

<sub>[Jacob should know by now that fanning his plumage for an audience is one of his favorite things to do, all the more so if it nets him time in the company of someone cute.

Him? Provoke on purpose to get attention? What, no, never.]</sub>

Everyone should have a dream.

[canisunrequites]

Hope I don't wreck yours.

[Take that as you will. He's aware of this. Unfortunately Brett's nowhere near as infuriating as Edward, so... he'll have to settle for banter and cockiness rather than hatred and loathing rivalry.]

[aconitia]

_{[Someone more infuriating than moi? Who dares rile Jacob up into mid-morning snits that isn't him? He won't stand for it.]}

You either thought about me in the shower, or you're going to think about me in the shower. I'd say it's well on its way to coming true. 😘

[canisunrequites]

[Well, Brett's not trying to steal his best friend and suck the life out of her in order to change her into some marble-skinned, cold-as-death monster, while being a huge rich perfect prick that tries being "sympathetic" to his face in the meantime.

Once Brett reaches that level of Jacob's ire, then he can be in the running.]

I've thought about you in the shower. "Wonder what that asshole's up to now. Hope he trips." Things like that.

[aconitia]

<sub>[Well. Being neither rich nor cold-blooded, nor arguably as perfect as advertised without his hair styling, nor fake-nice enough to be fake-sympathetic, he's falling somewhat short of the requirements.

They'll just have to settle for this.]</sub>

He's laughing because you're a bad liar even through text.

And I don't trip.

[canisunrequites]

[The only one who could ever get as much hatred from Jacob as stupid Edward Cullen is another Edward Cullen. (Or any leech that wants to turn Bella into a bloodsucker.)]

Damn, was it that easy? Not my strong suit.

Sure. Perfectly balanced forever.


[ooc: dreamwidth, i love you, but you're killing my eyes...]

[aconitia]

You're doing just fine.

_{[And it may in part have something to do with him having a weak spot for the hot-tempered, pouty types. When they're not having tantrums on the lacrosse field.]}

Comes with the territory.

We could finish the sentence if we really need to find the exception. Trips and falls on a set of lips? Hyperbolic but more believable.

_{(OOC: LMAO I'M GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE...)}

[canisunrequites]

What a gentleman.

[Sarcasm, but lighthearted at least. Not that text conveys that at all. *cough* And he's not a pouty typ--okay he is, dammit. But he'll never admit it.]

If you tripped and fell on some lips, that'd probably hurt like hell. For non-monsters, of course.

[ooc: oh you're definitely not the only one... *rolls eyes* tis ridic. i've got mine zoomed out to 80% so i don't feel like i'm 4 inches from my screen.]

[aconitia]

Monsters lol. Haven't heard that one in a while.

I haven't had any complaints so far.

_{(OOC: WORD. As someone who accidentally zooms in all the time, being at default is tripping meeee ouuuut.)}

[canisunrequites]

Vampire. Werewolf. Classic "monsters" in America.

[Please don't tell him mummies and invisible people exist.]

That's cause you're stupidly charming.

[ooc: another player i talked to said it looks like the changes are here to stay; i was hoping it was just a 'beta' test or something. ugh.]

[aconitia]

I'm glad I can be here to help with your authentic lingo lessons. Nobody actually uses "monsters" unless they're being really melodramatic.

_{[Okay, he won't.................. Shhh, we'll keep that on the dl.]}

💋 💋 💋 Am I?

_{(OOC: 😬 RIP to so many of my codes.)}

[canisunrequites]

When you've been a normal human for your entire life, it definitely feels like you've turned into a monster.

You can't understand that.

[Neither of them can understand where the other's coming from on this aspect. Being born a wolf versus changing into one later.]

No. [Brat's gonna brat.]

[OOC: Oh fuck, your journal codes or your normal text/tag codes?]

[aconitia]

I understand being considered a subpar freak just fine. You said as much holding everyone else up as a standard.

You were just as capable of being a monster when you didn't have a tail, don't get confused on that part.

<sub>[Brat can brat all he likes, but leave the self-flagellating generalizations at the door, thanks. Prostrating oneself over what normal people consider "monstrous" leads to never does anyone any good.]

(OOC: The first one, joy...)</sub>

[canisunrequites]

Different kind of monster. Being a shitty person compared to being... well... a werewolf that might attack someone you care about? At least I could control being a jerk before.

[Except he wasn't a jerk before his phasing. Then things changed and the kind, sweet boy took a lessons in badass and jerkass along with those muscles.]

You said you were born a werewolf. How long did you try to live as a human?

[He's guessing the answer.]

[OOC: Oh hell no. Most of mine have stayed okay, but... haven't checked every page of all of them. Ugh. Bet there are some ugly surprises waiting.]

[aconitia]

It's called being a predator. And you're not going to stop being one or lose control in the next few hours, so you might as well quit spiralling on an empty stomach and have some breakfast.

Me? Still do. Don't know any other way.

I get that you lost something, Jacob. I do. You lost who you used to be and being able to live normal instead of just like it. That's worth missing. Miss it.

But eventually you'll have to focus on who you'll be now.

_{(OOC: Definitely looks like there's some resizing issues happening at least, womp womp.)}

[canisunrequites]

What makes you think I'm not eating as we talk? And I'm no predator. That's the role of those stupid leeches. We kill any that come on our land for that reason.

Yeah, I find that hard to believe. You grew up knowing about werewolves, all this stuff, had your powers and abilities. Even if you lived as a human, you knew you weren't.

But I get it. There's no going back for me. This is my life now, choice or no choice. Doesn't mean I have to like it, even if I accept it.

[OOC: All the resizing has happened. I have to zoom out to make things decent again. And damn, this went from snark to mature woofing quickly.]

1/2

[aconitia]

You can't honestly be brooding this much over eggs and bacon.

You are, though. What, like that's a surprise? We all are: us, them, even humans. The degree is what makes real monsters.

It's not all doom and gloom. You've lost some things, but you've gained things, too.

_{(OOC: Oh, I meant padding around images and such, that's all out of whack, too. LMAO, the boys philosophize while we bitch...)}

2/2

[aconitia]

Maybe the grass looks greener to you, but knowing what we were just meant my family couldn't talk about what we were. My parents weren't part of a pack. We didn't have humans who kept our secret like you do. It was just us.

[canisunrequites]

Wouldn't be the first time.

I still think there's a difference. Bad people. Real monsters.

Guess it all depends on what's more valuable. What you lost or what you gained.

[Here, have some respectful silence cause of that. Damn. Doesn't he feel like a heel right now.]

Sorry. That had to be rough.

[OOC: Ah fuck, padding. Yeah I'm gonna have to go check on that shit. So far most of my journals have looked okay on the surface. A lot use the lj-raw and div tags, so maybe that's it... And behind every great philosophy is something bitchy.]
