A Picture is Worth.... Meme
This ain't your mama's meme. Forget your RNG, forget your tired old prompts.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
It's easy. Comment with your character. Then go comment around.
But instead of pre-filled prompts with words or numbers, you find a gif or image (any gif/image from any canon or scenario you please) that sets the scene.
The picture is the prompt.

WARNING: THIS POST WILL BE IMAGE HEAVY. AND POSSIBLY NSFW AND THERE MAY BE TRIGGERS.
Some images will not be able to be hidden behind cuts, so please be aware that triggery material may be found within.

If you post an image that is violent or sexual in nature please LINK it, do not embed it into the comment.

Feel free to use this template to stick your image in there.

Good resources for images/gifs are weheartit or tumblr. For not so safe for work gifs/images go here and here.

[Too late. She's already dashing toward his closet to see if she can dig one up. Because seriously, encore. ENCORE.]

Maybe I'll get you one for your birthday! It's this month, isn't it?

[Rummage.]

Please come out of the closet empty-handed.

[...]

That sounded better in my head.

Ha ha!

[Dean's hilarious, and she always did like a sense of humor. And WHAT'S THIS? Why, it's a neatly folded kimono in a box! She comes out, holding it up to Dean, eyes sparkling.]

Loooooooook!

[You know you want to put it on.]

[Isn't Gabriel long dead by now? Who the hell's putting her up to this? Is this all her?]

Wow. Pretty.

[He poked the fabric humorlessly, desperate for a beer or anything to get him away from that accursed kimono.]

That's it! I'm gonna kill Sam, then you're next.

But...

[But she doesn't want to be killed. :C]

Why is it embarrassing? I honestly liked it. It seemed like you were cheering up that lady.

Please, I know better ways to cheer up the ladies than that.

[He smirked at his own stupid joke, as he usually did at his stupid jokes.]

I don't know...

[She looks down at the kimono, unconvinced.]

This seems like the most effective cheering method to me.

[Then again, she's also the one who eats ramen with honey and wasabi, so do her tastes really mean anything?]

[At least that went over her head. He was suddenly worried he'd get slapped for that one, but his initial rage made him forget about Orihime's... state of mind.]

If it's so effective, why don't you try it and be on your merry way?

[Dean thought he did, but he had no idea what he was asking.]

[...She could do that. It's a little big for her, but the idea is tempting, mostly because it would be funny. Orihime's a sucker for comedy, and this is comic gold.]

...Do you need cheering up?

[He does seem awfully cranky, but she supposes that's the shock effect from seeing the old video.]

Not at all, man.

I am perfectly ecstatic.

[Sounds convincing, doesn't he?]

[She gives his shoulder a light pat, before she walks off with his hated enemy in her arms.]

I'll go make you a pie.

[It wouldn't be as funny if she kimono-danced right now. He's expecting it! But in a couple of hours, rest assured...]

[That just changes everything.]

Oh god, please do.

[She's been working on a few new varieties. While her cooking might be somewhat questionable, her desserts are usually fantastic. Orihime knows her sweets, and there aren't many combinations that don't turn out amazing when it comes to sugary things. It takes her about two hours to make, but she fixes up an apple pie drenched in caramel and gingerbread spices, a crumbled streudel on top. And once it's cool enough to serve without fear of burning someone's mouth off, Dean gets the first piece.]

Let me know what you think of this one.

[Finally, a good turn of events in Dean's life. Two hours of her gone, more than enough time for him to burn that stupid dress and hide the remains. He's probably done worse to other undesirable objects, though. As in, other remnants of moments he'd kill to forget.]

Oh, pie? Well, look at you, Marie Callender!

[He took a bite, trying not to look suspicious, then displayed gratification as he chewed. Damn good pie, this was.]

[She beams.]

Do you like it? I wanted to open my own bakery someday, so this is one of the recipes I was thinking about using.

I bet it could be the only recipe and still sell well.

[He sighed contentedly.]

See, that's the beauty of pie. Give it one flavor and it's still so... versatile...

[Was he crying?]

[Orihime smiles, her heart swelling with pride. He seems to really be enjoying her work! This? This is why she wants to open a bakery, to make people happy with good food and...and... Why is he crying?]

A-anou...is it too hot...?

[Okay, so he wasn't really crying. But he was serious about pie's beauty and all that.]

No, no, it's perfect. It's just so good and all, y'know?

[Whatever works to make her forget about the kimono.]

[She's pretty flattered. Palms pressed together, she beams, inclining her head.]

Then it's all yours! If you don't mind, it would help a lot if you tested some of my other recipes. I want to make sure they're unique, but appealing too!

Bring it on.

[Eye of the Tiger played in his mind. The intensity would only rise at the prospect of pies.]

[There's a video for THAT particular song and dance number too, but Orihime hasn't seen it yet. Good thing for Dean's sake.]

Thank you!

[This may be the start of a beautiful friendship.]

[Now that was something Dean was actually proud of!

Not that she needed to know that.]

Yeah, yeah. Now make some more, as you said.

...Right now?

[She looks down at the rest of the pie.]

But that one is still there...

[Wow, he sure could eat real fast when he wanted to. Hello, indigestion.]

There. Now it's gone.

Another!
