the penny for your thoughts meme.

PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS
(a) penny for your thoughts. SAID WHEN YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT ANOTHER PERSON IS THINKING, USUALLY BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN QUIET FOR A WHILE. (cambridge dictionary)

YOU'VE BEEN SITTING IN SILENCE FOR SOME TIME AND NOW YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S ON YOUR COMPANION'S MIND, SO YOU FLASH YOUR RICHES AND OFFER a penny for your thoughts, GIVING THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO TELL YOU AND HAVE A LITTLE HEART-TO-HEART.


How to play -

1. Comment with your character's name, fandom and preferences.
2. Others offer your character a penny for their thoughts to start the conversation off.
3. Your character tells them what they're thinking of, note that lying's allowed. You take it from there.
4. Be serious, be light-hearted, be cracky. Just have fun!

Samuel Solomon / Y the Mystic ✨ Superhero OC

[yudodis]

A dashing rogue wizard dedicated to order, justice and looking cool. Is also secretly a boring antique expert.

Some options to cut out the asking stage-

1) I’m just wondering if dogs know we make mistakes. Do they think we purposefully kick them in the head when they lay in the wrong place?

2) I was simply realising I’ve been to more different dimensions than I have planets.

3) Oh, just wondering that that is. [ He points up. ]

[He's thinking about the following:

1. How do humans stay warm without fur? Should he get his human friend a coat for winter?

2. His pet crickets. They're the best.

3. What to dress as for Halloween.

"What I'm thinking about?" Ganymede shrugs, his gaze going off sideways again, a thoughtful twist to his lips.

1. "About how much some fruit and vegetables have changed in both look and flavour over hundreds of years thanks to human effort. One has to be at least a little impressed, right?"

2. "Oh--- Just, well. Whether Eros' arrows only inflict attraction, or... other things, as well." He clears his throat, cheeks now faintly pink. "I've never asked him. Maybe I should?"

3. "I don't think you'd be interested in that, honestly." He grins lopsidedly.
