The Find a New Ship Meme

[flatchest]

One of the best parts about RP is finding ships you never knew you wanted. But sometimes it's hard finding exactly what you want, especially when you don't know the other canon (if it's crossover interaction) OR the other mun. Well, this meme takes away the pressure and biases brought around by unfamiliar names or icons. It strips shipping down to what it should be about: chemistry.

There are two ways to play on this meme. The first is the OOC route. The second is a more challenging, but perhaps more fun, route of having your character fill out a personal's ad. The best part? It's all anon at the start.


- Pick whether you want to fill out the OOC form or the IC form.
- For the IC version, feel free to assume your character was forced into it.
- Comment anonymously.
- Reply to others if you have a character who fits what they're looking for. You can stay anon for a few comments, but then you can pull a BIG REVEAL.
- For the OOC version, you can just offer your character. For the IC version, you might even want to "play" a bit before you un-anon.
- This is catered more towards crossover ships, but don't let that stop you if you want to do something canon. Also, friend"ships" are fine, too.
- If you both agree that it would be an interesting combination to play out, feel free to take it to another meme or play a scene here.

DESCRIBE YOURSELF: Legs! Still got legs, good!! Arms! Hands! Ooh, lots of fingers! Ears, yes! Eyes, two! Nose, I've had worse. Chin, blimey! Hair... I'm a girl!! No! Not a girl. And still not ginger.
LOOKING FOR: Buddy o' pals, friends, mates, chums, whateves.
WHAT YOU LOOK FOR IN A FRIEND/PARTNER: Willing to open their mind to the possibilities.

SHORT DESCRIPTION OF YOUR CHARACTER: Derpy but intelligent. Doesn't realize inner strength.
SHORT DESCRIPTION OF CHARACTERS SOUGHT: Jerks with hearts of gold. Not asking much.
OTHER NOTES: Het/Slash/Femslash/AU/Etc. -- All good.

DESCRIBE YOURSELF: Whatever.
LOOKING FOR: Friends looks like the less annoying choice.
WHAT YOU LOOK FOR IN A FRIEND/PARTNER: Quiet peoples who don't speak a lot.

SHORT DESCRIPTION OF YOUR CHARACTER: Seemingly unrepentant, uncaring, idiot playboy with a heart of gold, far too much emotional baggage, and a little addition.

SHORT DESCRIPTION OF CHARACTERS SOUGHT: Characters who won't just walk away from the act, who don't put up with his attempts to deny and eventually get him to open up/forgive the past and emotional baggage. No-nonsense women tend to be better at getting him to open up, but drinking buddies to commiserate over lost love and how that sucks/is bullshit are also welcome.

OTHER NOTES: Character has a little supernatural problem, and deflects through flirtation. Not falling for that sort of thing would help.

DESCRIBE YOURSELF: The fucking best.
LOOKING FOR: Anything goes. Pretty much my life motto right there.
WHAT YOU LOOK FOR IN A FRIEND/PARTNER: Fearlessness, a strong mind, and a cute ass. Must enjoy long walks on the beach and blowing shit up. No law enforcement, unless you take bribes.

/pinged - Any particular aversions in the "seeking" category?

[(Anonymous)]

*addiction, I can spell.

[(Anonymous)]

Confident, aren't we? So "cute", huh? Are you looking for a girl, or a grown woman?

[(Anonymous)]

So. You don't know if you're a girl or not.

Would you like a road map to help you out with that, or are you just wanting to stick with the confusion?

And while you're at it, how 'bout you tell me what's so wrong with being ginger? Because we might have a stumbling block there.

SHORT DESCRIPTION OF YOUR CHARACTER: Generally easy going, flirtatious (sometimes really flirtatious), quirky, and upbeat. Has a wide range of tastes.
SHORT DESCRIPTION OF CHARACTERS SOUGHT: Anything goes for friendships, really confident guys for romantic ships. Jerks with hearts of gold are awesome for friendships, yes please.
OTHER NOTES: Looking for Het. for romantic ships, no specifics for friendships

The only thing I can think of would be "family", which... would only happen if the stars somehow aligned and you were a canonmate. And even then it's sort of negotiable.

[(Anonymous)]

No, no. I'm a bloke. I found my Adam's apple. And I don't find anything bad about being a ginger! In fact, I want to be a ginger.

Ginger and rude. That's what I want to be one day.

You've got me hella curious about this canon, though odds are I proooobably don't know it (I don't know if the world is really that small, from the sounds of it.).

If the character is a bit stubborn about her own feelings (workable, depending) but otherwise fits that description, is that acceptable?

[(Anonymous)]

SHORT DESCRIPTION OF YOUR CHARACTER: Cutesy, clumsy, and a bit naive, but doesn't have a single mean bone in body. Stands up for people most cared about, and is very affectionate and imaginative.
SHORT DESCRIPTION OF CHARACTERS SOUGHT: Sweet, protective, romantic, and sometimes possessive guys for romance. As for friends, all are welcome with open arms!
OTHER NOTES: Hardcore craving for romance, just sayin'.

[(Anonymous)]

You found your Adam's apple and that's how you know?

I'd 've just dropped trou, myself.

Anyway, great thing about being rude: it's not hair color dependent. If it makes so much difference to you, though, you could always grab a box of hair dye. Just make sure the drapes match the carpet.

*dramatic reveal!* not so dramatic.

Yes! They can both be stubborn about their feelings together. Which is... not productive but that's half the fun, yes?

[(Anonymous)]

Just asking for personal preference, but is this character male or female?

[(Anonymous)]

Oh my. /LOL - Exactly this. Yes, half the fun!

One more question, hope it's not a deal breaker. How do you feel about OC's?

[emptynight]

Not at all! I like OCs just fine. I've had some very good interactions with them.

The only sad thing is then there's no canon to go back in and read about.

Snarky bastard with a heart at your service

/not so dramatic reveal here ha ha it's like the dating game - T-Then, uh, I'll offer up Meilin for a test run?

If I really end up having my way then maybe, maybe one day that'll change. They have canon I just need to WRITE IT ALL DOWN.

[emptynight]

Sure! Is there a meme or scenario you'd want to testrun with?

That 'write it all down' part is pesky. Been working on it for years.

(also, might be late in responding for a while. need to make foods)

[twincidentally]

There are so many options I'm not sure where's best to start TBH, aside from "meeting". I'm game for pretty much anything, despite whatever the muse may argue. I can take a look and see. Museboxing is also an option for me if you want. What about you?

SO pesky. I've never been great at writing within time limits/frames.

No worries!

SHORT DESCRIPTION OF YOUR CHARACTER: Kind of maternal, likes things clean and orderly but capable of getting messy to have fun and isn't afraid of getting her hands dirty. BAMF when angered, and protective like a mama bear. Can be two-faced, goody-two-shoes and good feelings one minute then vengeful or devious the next-- depends on the situation.
SHORT DESCRIPTION OF CHARACTERS SOUGHT: Confident types, mysterious types, arrogant flirts, really strong flirts with other (non-arrogant) dominant personality traits, hot heads are welcomed too-- loved actually (even especially if they argue a lot), jerks with hearts of 24k gold and jerks with hearts of 12k gold both welcome.
OTHER NOTES: Girl seeking guy! DEFINITELY looking for romantic ships.

[(Anonymous)]

That's how I always know.

And it's not the same though. Yeah I dye myself ginger, but I still wouldn't feel like a ginger.
