Red flag

[wondertrevs]

RED FLAGS meme

Sure, you may look like a total catch, but what's the catch? Maybe everything isn't what it seems.

how to play
- forget what you think you know about memes.
- forget the traditional subject line. no prefs. no character info.
- what do you put there instead? verbalize the red flag(s) that should, in a just world, come attached to your characters. be honest. be brutal.
- with this forbidden knowledge in mind, the rest of bakerstreet has to decide whether they wouldn't touch that with a ten-foot pole or if they'd throw caution to the wind and still go for it.

has a 'guys really live like this' apartment

[kafkaiju]

H-hey, c'mon, it's not that bad...

[ yes it is. ]

[springremedy]

[ Audible GASP. ]

[seespotshield]

I dunno. Looks pretty great to me.

[ ramen. beer. bed. it's only missing some comic books. ]

Possibly a serial killer who could swap recipes with Hannibal Lecter.

[elegant_knives]

Absurd. All I do is in the name of my mistress.

thinks he owns you and literally every one else in the world

[dildomesh]

fought the government once. prone to extreme impulsiveness.

[infinite1ups]

Sold soul to the goddess of death.

[matronsword]

There was a good reason for it, I swear.

[gravesinger]

What was the reason?

Never shuts up.

[defibunit]

Highly fixated on sex. Lots of emotional hangups. Aggressively anti-religious.

[cafeultra]

delusional, psychotic sexual deviant. selfish, greedy, arrogant, violent and slovenly. also: stupid

[5guys]

[She's pouting.] That's so rude!

[...]

I'm not stupid. I know how to read.

[ohihateyou]

You do make astoundingly terrible decisions sometimes, Five.

Will spend all money on gems & be irritatingly frugal with (nearly) everything else [see more below]

[edelstein]

✧ Is both very smart and incredibly stupid
✧ Arrogant, Prideful & prone to Wrath
✧ Will pick fights with the wrong types of people
✧ Rich Bitch (ojousama) attitude with none of the money to back it up
✧ Has an incredibly difficult time with emotional honesty

she'll never change. dangerously fixated. selfish and self-serving. cruel.

[rijksmuseum]

[she rolls her eyes.] Rife with oversimplifications. No matter. I don't expect anyone to understand what I did to survive.

[sisterimperator]

[ Just a smile. ]

Woman scorned?

her entire canon consists of her red flags

[sobored]

It's not that many honest, it's more like just one that comes up a few times, that's all.

[suchluck]

I’m not sure if you have a right to call your depravity a simple red flag… But if it weren’t for the depths of your desire for despair, there would be less for hope to triumph over.

…Should I be thanking you? Would it be wrong of me?

chooses to look like this when he could simply get instant hair and leg extensions instead

[shittylittle]

It's called energy conservation, dummy! If I chose to look like that all the time, then I'd have to drain a whole territory dry in a matter of weeks! And then who'd pay me?

Clingy. Rage issues. Also basically a serial killer

[berkmanblock]

Being a serial killer means like…killing people because you like it, right? I don’t.

[cafeultra]

Enjoyment isn't a prerequisite. It's any series of multiple, separate murders with a predictable enough pattern that they can be linked to the same killer.

cw: leaks 👇

[finals]

( 1. didn't perform one of his duties as high elder to keep a very dangerous and fucked up tree sealed.
2. sneaked a friend into an important, private, and dangerous place without permission.
3. committed one of the six unpardonable sins by making said friend immortal possibly against his will and:

a. it made him miserable and fucked up for the following x years;
b. he didn't even stay alive to keep him company because he was sent to jail and almost sentenced to death, but instead was forced to go through molting;
c. another friend died possibly because of his stupid decision.

4. is the reason his kind was unable to go through hatching rebirth for the following x years up until now, which might or not have decreased their race in numbers.
5. gave away his dragon heart - also possibly to said now-immortal friend - which might or not have fucked up the next incarnation to take on his position as high elder.
6. incited a riot that lasted x amount of years because he decided he wasn't a big fan of the people who lead the spaceship he was in for whatever reason.
7. his crimes almost started a civil war at said spaceship because there was still a considerable number of people of his race who supported him in spite of his wrongdoings.
8. his own incarnation had and still suffers the consequences of his actions.

and the best part? probably wouldn't regret any of it. )

i'm sorry

[below]

[ he didn't read all that; it's nothing personal, he just realized there was too much going on and it'd be better to assume a sort of "happy for you, or sorry that happened" kind of mindset about it. but in conclusion— ]

So basically, you're a "think with your dick" kind of person.

his job is just beach.

[realpirate]

[sisterimperator]

What does that even mean?

is the murderous embodiment of "don't talk to me or my son ever again"

[sisterimperator]

[ IYKYK. ]

he's not so bad, really.

[celestialvessel]

- digs through dumpsters and trash cans. possibly eats said trash?
- is technically less than a year old and sometimes has the braincells like it.
- will fight almost anyone, with a magic baseball bat.
- their body is the vessel of the equivalent to a magic space nuke and they sometimes can't control it.

Temperamental and bad-mannered

[infernalblood]

...could be worse.

[lordfuckleroy]

It could absolutely be worse though I do not think your manners are so lacking.

When we talked last, you were perfectly civil-- I had no complaints.

Can forgive murder, mayhem, and manipulation, but not pastels.

[gothmother]

[sisterimperator]

And what of jewel tones?

Non-disclosure Agreements and Secretive relationships, oh my!

[lordfuckleroy]

It does kill the romance when you have to sign an NDA before a date.

will ghost you at the first sign of attachment

[traitors]

.. I do have my reasons, you know. The immortal thing puts a damper on romance.

just look at her. there's your red flag.

[flowermotif]

[ it'd take too long to list them.. ]

An actual demon from Hell, your blood is probably like a protein shake to him

[superstylishsquid]

I guess there are worse ways of putting it...
