This isn't my idea

MY IDEA OF ROMANCE

It’s like a Rorschach test for romance (and disasters!)

HOW TO PLAY
- Comment with your character. But don’t leave that comment blank!
- Expose their idea of romance/a romantic gesture. What’s that consist of? Roses? Champagne? Protection from all threats? A dead body or two for…scientific research given without question?
- Enjoy those replies. Read the room. Do other characters think you’re sappy? Probably! Maybe it’s the opposite, though, and they line up to simp.
- See? Proof that romance isn't dead.

I am given a potato... then we get married...

[ourlittlenordicangel]

To be promised eternal fidelity.

[underwings]

Not trying to kill me or people I talk to just for fun

[revmeup]

[indulgencedotexe]

Forgive me, but that bar seems so low the devil is using it to limbo dance.

[Here Harley, have a masc-looking robot, taller than you. Broad-shouldered, and wearing a suit.]

[revmeup]

It's the little things, you know?

[ Sometimes the absolute littlest. ]

[indulgencedotexe]

That's so sad, I might cry.

[Just ignore that this robot doesn't have eyes or tear ducts.]

[revmeup]

Your pity ain't doing it for me.

[indulgencedotexe]

Sorry, I was teasing in part.

[It's just so mind-boggling that her standards were that low. What happened to this lady?]

I would insist you at least add the stipulation that they need to be good in bed.

[revmeup]

We're talking romance. You don't even gotta respect someone for a good fuck.

[thestabqueen]

So I'm not the only one, huh?

[ Possibly for vastly different reasons, Sam... ]

[revmeup]

It shouldn't be so much to ask! And yet!

[thestabqueen]

And yet... Yeah, it seems like the people who approach are very bored. Or have no hobbies.

[revmeup]

Unfortunately, some people consider murder a hobby.

Lay everything you have to give at my feet.

[lady_kaivodulin]

[furwithfangs]

[Arches eyebrow. Man of zero words and more a man of action, takes him a second to lay fully prostrate at her feet.]

[lady_kaivodulin]

Well, I do appreciate the... immediacy and personal investment of the gesture.

[Usually she aims for bigger prey than this silent soldier, but she is genuinely impressed by the fact that he just...laid down there without question or complaint. Like a big dog.]

[furwithfangs]

[ Technically on some moons he is literally a big dog. It takes him moment to pull himself up from the floor, a hint of a teasing grin, and he pauses to write in his notepad and holds it up for her read what he has written down. Hopefully she can read...]

i never do things by halves. what else would i give when i have nothing?

[lady_kaivodulin]

And yet the whole self is always the last thing rich and powerful men are willing to surrender to me. You laid all you have and all you are down at my feet without even knowing my name!

[She's almost certain he's being facetious anyway but it was charming.]

[furwithfangs]

would you expect less from a knight?

[He holds up what he has written for her to read.]

Obsession. For me to be the center of their universe. To be wanted so badly they want to kill me.

[devilspirit]

I want them to stay awake at night thinking about me. What I might do next. To want to know everything about me. ...They have to be so passionate they could kill over it. I won't accept anything less. And they need to be hot, obviously. It's just gross if the person's unattractive.

[starfreckles]

Are you in earnest?

[This is what manages to come out of their mouth as they try to figure out what they are dealing with when it comes to this guy.]

I feel this is courting something terrible. Mostly for you, but I also feel like saying 'dig two graves while your at it' would be a gross underestimation.

[suicideprototype]

[Those last two lines earn him a bit of an amused chuckle. It's such a novelty to hear someone actually say the words that are always only implied.]

It sounds like you're saying you're not interested in anything less than complete devotion.

[Truthfully... a lot of that quite appeals to Ritsu. He's just not the type to immediately cop to it.]

You let me study you ☆ and we do what we want to when we want to, because it's fu~n

[vivisectio]

Becoming the Villian of their story in order to save their life.

[devilishkouhai]

Cotillions! With maybe a touch of rain.
