The Changed by Love You Meme


"Finding someone without life's scars is a luxury that shouldn't be granted to anyone, love the scars and do everything possible to not create new ones, but if you do...that’s okay, broken paintings are also bought in galleries."



We want to believe that we're more than just specks of insignificant dust in this universe, and it's a hope we nurture from our beginnings of consciousness. However, sometimes it doesn't seem that way - everything we try can fall flat. But two heads are better than one, they say, and the bonds between people are what can make us more than we are. The right relationship - the right emotions, feelings, love - can bring you up from the darkness.

"Evil" characters being healed by those who are "good" are "pure" has always been a literary guilty pleasure, much to the chagrin of many. Still, that has its appeal, and you can explore that in this meme. There are other ways a relationship can change someone, though. Someone uninterested in love can blossom for the right person, an introvert become more outgoing, an impulsive person learning to become patient. Yet caring for someone or being attracted to them won't always change you for the better. You could be corrupted or worsened by a force that should be edifying you. Your feelings don't have to be returned, either, so one party may come out worse for the wear. Whatever the case may be, characters here are about to see their worlds changed by another.

How to Play:
( reply with your characters and preferences. if you'd like, you can include a sentence or even a few words about your character. you can also indicate if you'd like your character to be the one changed or the one doing the changing. )
( comment to others. )
