Love is in the air!

[parrygripp]

love is blind — the meme!

Can you marry someone without ever seeing them?! Well, now's your chance to find out! Based on Netflix's hit reality show, Love is Blind, this meme centers around characters dating, chatting, and falling in love without ever laying eyes on one another!

Characters are sequestered in small, cozy 'pods' separated by a large pane of stained glass. Beyond this glass, they'll find their date! It's through this wall that characters are meant to get to know one another. Ask questions, find common interests, etc, with the ultimate goal being a marriage proposal before day ten!

Wild, right?

HOW TO PLAY

• Comment with your character and some preferences.
• Since the show has several 'phases,' this meme is set up similarly! Feel free to skip the dating portion and dive right into the honeymoon, or vice versa!
• Additionally, though everyone on the show is a willing participant, you're more than welcome to have your character whisked here by✨ magic ✨against their will with no hope of escape without a marriage proposal. 
• Meet others, fall in love, get engaged!
• And, if you really want things to be blind, try this on Anon!

PHASE 1 - THE DATES


How it all starts off! Dates take place in pods where you're unable to see your partner. Have fun, daters!

1. Getting Settled: So, this is your life now. Living in a building, hoping to meet the love of your life...


2. First Date: It's awkward, it's strange, but most first dates are! Giant wall of opaque glass, or no giant wall of opaque glass!


3. Good Date: Is this love?? Are sparks flying?! Yay!


4. Bad/Awkward Date: Since these dates are randomly assigned by the muns producers, there's a good chance you'll be paired up with someone you really don't like. Is it a personality clash? Conflicting values?


5. Second/Third/Fourth Date: So, the first date went well... or, well enough to constitute a another one. [Or the muns producers are being mean and forcing two incompatible people together again.] That's great! Hopefully, by now you two are pros at this.


6. Heavy Topics: Since the truth is bound to come out anyway, why not just put it all out there up front. Deep, dark secrets, shameful pasts. It might be easier to admit some of this since you don't have to look someone in the eye as you do it?


7. Incompatible: Some people aren't meant to be together, and that's okay. Finding that out, though, can be a little rough. 


8. Marriage Proposal: What we've all been waiting for! Kneel before that giant, blue screen and pop that pretty question right now, baby!

PHASE 2 - THE VACATION

After a successful marriage proposal, the newly engaged strangers are whisked away on an island vacation to spend time with one another face-to-face.

1. First Meeting: Finally, finally, you get to see the face of the person you've fallen in love with! Is it all you hoped for and more?! Or, on the more unfortunate side of things, are you not attracted to them at all??


2. Co-Habitation: Part of the reason why you're on this vacation together is to see how well the two of you work in 'real-life'. Who cooks? Who cleans? Who snores?


3. First Time: If you don't believe in sex before marriage, this is clearly off the table. But, for those of you who want to sample the goods before your big day...


4. Fight(s): It's inevitable, really. What did you think would happen when you propose to someone after only ten days?? Clearly, there's going to be some kinks to smooth over.


5. Relaxation: You're on an all expenses paid island vacation! You have to indulge while you can! Swimming, sailing, massages, partying, drinking... come on, let loose!


6. Disaster: For the angst lovers out there. A tropical storm, a near-death experience, something horrid that ends up bringing the two of you closer together.


7. Date Night: Imagine having a real date, in the real world, where you can really see each other. No need to imagine! You can actually, really do it!


8. Secrets, But In Real Life: Well, now that you're really, actually seeing each other, maybe it's time to get that deep, dark thing off your chest. Y'know, before you get married and are bonded together forever. 

PHASE 3 - A LIFE TOGETHER

The last stop on our tour: domestic life! Welcome to the life of marriage, newly weds! Is it everything you hoped for and more?

1. The Wedding: The big day! All of your family and friends are here! And... they might think you're a little crazy for going through with all this, but who cares what they think? This is about you!


2. Meeting the Family: Right, what does your family think of the person you brought home after just ten days? 


3. Married Life: Just in general. What changes now that you're married? Do you still feel the same spark you felt before?


4. Divorce: The worst possible option — the two of you weren't compatible after all, and it turns out this was a terrible idea!


5. Happily Ever After: On the flip side, maybe you two truly are perfect for one another? In that case, congratulations! Let's hear all about your love story!


6. Horror: The person you met, and dated, and fell in love with was all an act, and you don't even recognize the person before you. A nightmare!


7. Timeskip: Years in the future, long after this whole blind dating fiasco, let's check in on how the two of you are doing.


8. Creating a Family: What is it that some married couples do? That thing? That involves having kids? You know, the thing??

( chris being a gross fucking gremlin who ends up breaking down, crying, and proposing during the first date. 👌👌👌 ota for trolling/silliness, but 25+ for actual dating and marriage and everything. )

1, 1

[ourlittlenordicangel]

We should get marry.... [ This man is blind now, ja? Isn't that what blind date means? ]

[suspectratio]

Uh, are you hot?

[ourlittlenordicangel]

From the neck down. [ He is like a... a butterface? ]

[suspectratio]

Yeah? What're you wearing?

( you can always tell an ugly person by their clothing, which is why chris dresses the way he does. )

[ourlittlenordicangel]

...pink shorts... and... suspenders... that I make from rope... [ He should at least recognize that accent. O-or does he talk to a lot of Swedes? ]

[suspectratio]

Rope suspenders?

Kinky.

[ourlittlenordicangel]

Ja. I made them myself. What are you wearing? [ ...this was a mistake. This man is going to stab him. ]

[suspectratio]

Just a uniform right now. Gloves, helmet. The whole thing. 'Cause it's badass. If you saw me, you'd know.

Just picture the most badass dude in the whole, wide world, and it's basically me.

[ourlittlenordicangel]

Okej... that sounds good... you can afford all these things? I am looking for a man who can buy me potato and cookies.

[suspectratio]

Yeah, well, I'm looking for a chick with rockin' tits and thighs the size of baby deers.

Looks like neither of us are getting what we want, huh, Florgin'-Borgin'?

[ourlittlenordicangel]

You have not seen my thighs... [ But no, not a lady! Not at all. The opposite of what a lady is. ]

I am not a lady, no. Maybe you are a lady? You are wearing gloves?

[suspectratio]

Fuck off; plenty of dudes wear gloves.

Mickey Mouse, Sonic the Hedgehog, Sylvester Pussycat.

[ourlittlenordicangel]

I do not know who they are... m... maybe you should not wear gloves. [ Not a man in a pink burlap onesie judging you. ]

[suspectratio]

Fuck you and your heteronormative bullshit, man. Boxers wear gloves! Weight-lifters wear gloves! The President wears gloves... sometimes! Fuck off.

Date over.

Have fun jerking off alone, dillweed.

[ourlittlenordicangel]

W... what.... [ Swede starts to cry. What is heteronormati... what? Why is the date over? Who is the president? ]

I am not... being happy... [ This is a bad scary time. ]

[thebettershepard]

[ He feels like somewhere along the line whatever this is got away from him, and now he's here, in front of some opaque glass wondering if he could break it.

Who is he kidding, of course he can fucking break it. He's just...going to test it first. Yeah, of course. He doesn't know if the other person is there yet, but he doesn't care. He's just going to knock his fist against the glass, trying to get a feel for its strength. Huh.........seems sturdy.

Not that he couldn't handle it. He just won't...right now. Later. Yeah, later.

Oh sorry, is this supposed to be a date? Are you not supposed to come in and contemplate breaking shit? When he hears someone on the other side he's not even going to bother with introductions. This is way more important. ]

...How thick do you think this glass is?

oh my god

[suspectratio]

( chris has to assume this is all a part of waller's initiative. he doesn't know how, or why, but it feelers distinctively waller — which means it's not worth fighting against. he's got a chip in his head rigged to explode at the first sign of disobedience, which tends to make him more compliant where it matters... but, if the rules were never explained to him, he totally can't get blown to pieces for breaking them, right?

how was he supposed to know that he's not meant to shatter the big, shiny screen in front of him? )

Thick enough that if I punch from one side and you punch from the other, it'll probably TOTALLY break.

...

Unless it's bulletproof.

( also... a likely possibility. )

rip

[thebettershepard]

[ Bulletproofing is a problem.

For losers.

The clone has never in his short life punched straight through bulletproof glass, but who's to say he can't? His biotics are weapons grade, perfect, better than some people's biotics, in fact.

He snorts, literally waving off the concern. ]

What, afraid of a little bulletproofed glass?

[suspectratio]

Pshh. Are you afraid of getting cut when I shoot this thing into a million little pieces?

( that's right, fuckos. did you think chris was going anywhere without his comically large pistol? )

Stand back, dick cheese.

[thebettershepard]

Shoot?

[ Oh no, that's a challenge. And he will not step down from a challenge. He's already glowing blue, ready to biotic punch the crap out of this glass. ]

Pfft. That's cute. Maybe you should stand back. [ What was that thing he just called him? Ah right. ] ...Dick cheese.

[ Never heard that one before but it sounds insulting. ]
