BLURRED


For most people, the lines between platonic and romantic are very clearly drawn. Not true for you two; friendship and romance intermingle in your relationship, and to be honest, it's hard to discern where one ends and the other begins. You're bosom buddies. There's a spark between you. You're lovers, too, maybe, or it could be completely innocent. You're love interests. You're intimate, you're close, you're ride or die. You don't understand why romantic and platonic can't coexist. You don't need labels.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character and preferences, i.e. no smut, etc. Feel free to include as much or as little information as you'd like.
  • Reply to others.
  • RNG for a prompt or choose your own.

STUCK WITH EACH OTHER MEME
a combination of various memes


1. HANDCUFFED.
Maybe one character has handcuffed themselves to the other on purpose. Maybe not. Either way, the cuffs are awfully sturdy and it looks like you've just lost the key.

2. TIED UP / CAPTIVE.
Being actually tied up isn't a necessity, although you're more than welcome to write it that way! The important part of this prompt is that the two characters are both being held captive by an outside force, one with less than benevolent intentions.

3. TRAPPED INDOORS.
The classic "snowed in" option, although snow isn't the only option! Any sort of intolerable weather works, and there are always more creative options, like being trapped in an underground bunker during a nuclear winter. The world is your oyster.

4. ACCIDENT / RUBBLE.
A collapsing building pinning two people down gives ample time for a bonding session. Or screaming for help. It's up to you.

5. AN ISLAND / THE WILDERNESS.
Whichever location you choose, it's deserted save for two. They'll have to fight over the meager resources there are or work together to survive until they can return to their homes.

6. IN SPACE.
Maybe someone just pulled a Passenger and woke another passenger from their cryopod, or maybe all the others in your crew died and they're the only ones left. In space, you're really, truly alone.

7. TWO MAN JOB.
They're not physically trapped together, but there's a job that only these two can do. Maybe they hate each other, but hate a third party more. Maybe they've been stuck together on a mission by a superior. The possibilities are endless, so don't be afraid to get creative.

8. WILDCARD.
Your choice -- get creative.

Sentinels and Guides

Sentinels and Guides Shipping Meme
A Sentinel!AU Meme

There are special people in the world: Sentinels--whose five senses are incredibly enhanced, sometimes to the point of overwhelming and who can easily lose themselves in fugue states--and Guides, the empaths with the ability to ground a Sentinel and focus them. Meant to be the protectors of the Guides, for every Sentinel there exists a guide that is their perfect match. In some universes, when matches are made, a Sentinel and Guide form a soulbond to fill the feeling of emptiness.

How easy was it for you to find yours? How are Sentinels and Guides treated in your universe? Or maybe you're one of the normal, unremarkable people. Do you fear Sentinels and Guides? Despise them?

Rules
1) Post with your character/canon in the subject header.
2a) Choose whether your character is a Sentinel or a Guide
or
2b) If you don't know or don't care, just leave it blank!
3) Information about Sentinels and Guides can be found
here and here. Information on 'The Sentinel' which this meme comes from can be found here.
4) All the tagging! Have fun 8D

story of a small town
a stardew valley / harvest moon inspired meme

 


So, you want a simple, honest life, eh? Big city life isn't for you? Well, look no further than Summerton / Pelican Town / some other generic small town name! Here, the life you'll lead is as simple as it gets. Tending livestock, planting crops, mining, forging, fishing... Fortunately, it's not as if you're entirely off the grid. There are plenty of townsfolk to keep you company. We've got fairs, and parades, and events. In time, you might even fall in — dare we say it — love? One can only hope!


 how to play
1. Create a top-level and decide whether you'd like to be the fresh-faced new farmer, or a local! 

2. Enjoy small town life.

You is kiiiind. You is smaaaart.

We all masturbate, it's nothing to be ashamed of. It's also something most prefer to keep private. But sometimes, people forget to knock while we're in the middle of things, and awkwardness ensues.

* Post with your character's name and fandom in the subject line

Word Association is a common word game involving an exchange of words that are associated together. The game is based on the noun phrase word association, meaning "stimulation of an associative pattern by a word" or "the connection and production of other words in response to a given word, done spontaneously as a game, creative technique, or in a psychiatric evaluation."
~ our lord and saviour wikipedia

Love and lust are all very well and good, but this meme is for when that white-hot desire tips into something darker, an all-consuming fire that licks at your every thought, that clenches around your every breath. It may be one-sided or it may be reciprocal, you may be the object or the subject or both simultaneously, but at least one of you is obsessed.

You can think of nothing but them. Your world, your heart, your very existence revolves around them.

Loads of laundry

[personal profile] theseshadesaregucci posting in [community profile] bakerstreet

the LAUNDROMAT


Perhaps you live in a dorm or an apartment that hasn't seen renovations since the eighties. Maybe your luck has really dried up and your washing machine at home broke the night before a job interview and you haven't done a load of laundry in two weeks. Whatever your story is you've ended up at the local 24-hour laundromat. It could be creeping in on midnight or three in the morning. Either way, the place is a dead zone. Leaving you floating in a liminal space where reality has been stripped down to the sounds of clattering quarters and the continuous thrum of the machines under the buzz of neon lights. This would be a horrible time to bump into someone you know, or worse - a complete stranger while you're staring into the middle distance in nothing but your American flag boxers reading a paperback.

HOW TO PLAY:

+ Comment with your character, preferences, etc.

+ Leave the comment blank or be daring and write a top-level starter

+ Comment to others and play out all those awkward run-ins or strange chance meetings

THE AMNESIA MEME



Ah, amnesia. The old standby for soap operas, it usually involves a good knock on the head and a complete loss of memory. Ever wanted to do that to your character? Well, now's your chance.

1. Comment with your characters!
2. Others comment. Optionally, go to RNG and roll the scenario. (As to who gets knocked on the head, well, that's up to you!)
3. ???
4. PROFIT.



1. HEAD-ON COLLISION - ...whoops. It was an honest mistake, really! You didn't see that car/tree/post/person/whatever coming, but now you're stumbling out of the wreckage sans memory. Better ask for help.

2. WAIT, WHO ARE YOU? - Okay, so a while ago, you got into...something that caused you to lose your memory. Fortunately, you managed to get by and create a new identity for yourself. Unfortunately, someone new has just entered your life. Or should I say, someone who's a little too familiar...

3. RINSE AND REPEAT - Sigh. Really, this is just so inconvenient. You wake up everyday with no memory of who you are, and have to figure it out over the course of the day, only to fall asleep and have to do it all over again the next day. Good thing someone's there to help you out, right? And what's with all those post-its and notes?

4. THIS ROOM'S TOO WHITE - Welcome to the hospital. You've got an "Unknown" tag on your wrist, a healthy diet of bland hospital food, a steady trickle of doctors coming in to check up on you, and a TV, and nothing else. Looks like someone's coming to help you today, though! Here's to hoping they knew you before you lost your memory.

5. I'M SUPPOSED TO DO WHAT?! - Oh, crap. There's something only you can do right now--that is, the you who didn't lose your memory, anyway. Better figure out a way out of this mess and how to control your strange abilities before it's too late.

6. FIGHTING FOR THE WRONG SIDE - Uh, oh. Looks like your enemies decided to take advantage of your confused state and convinced you that you're on their side. Here's to hoping your allies can get you back to yourself before you cause some serious damage.

7. JUST TOO TRAUMATIC - You just saw something that's so traumatic you lost your memory because of it. Unfortunately, right now, you have to remember it, or else something really bad happens. Hope you don't regret remembering this!

8. I DON'T WANT THIS - You've been living a peaceful, ordinary life, for a while. And you'd rather it stay that way, because you're not sure if you'd want to remember what went before. Unfortunately, something's coming, and the key to stopping it lies in your memories.

9. NO SUCH THING - Maybe you were a wizard, or a werewolf, or an angel, or a demon, or something else entirely before, or maybe you just knew about the masquerade. Sadly, you've been knocked on the head and now believe yourself to be a perfectly ordinary person. Magic? That doesn't exist, right? Anything can be explained with science, after all! Right?

10. I'M WHO?! - And who the hell are you? Basically, this is the wild card option! Combine one of the above or make up a new one or whatever you want! Go wild!

fake dating (or not)

FAKE DATING (AND REVERSE) MEME


One the one hand: You're not dating but you're pretending to. Whether it's for a job, to smooth over some kind of family holiday you never wanted to go to in the first place, or just to get out of someone else hitting on you at a bar, pretending to be a couple will usually do the trick. If you get a little too close or fall a little too deep, that's future you's problem.

On the other: You ARE dating but you're pretending not to. This isn't some kind of hidden relationship thing, though. Everyone you normally associate with knows exactly what the score is. You don't hide it. But maybe a job, or a diplomatic crisis, or some kind of situation entirely fueled by spite, whatever, comes up, and suddenly, temporarily, you're pretending to be on completely platonic terms, whatever that means for you. There's a certain kind of tension in watching your partner hit on someone else as part of your mission while you're trying to pretend to be completely unbothered by it.

Bonus option: you're not trying to hide it at all but people just don't believe you.
Bonus, BONUS option: this is your chance for a fake breakup.

We can't call ourselves that.

SUPERHERO RELATIONSHIPS

Whether you're a superhero, self-made vigilante, super villain, or Oracle-esque commander, you're going to have some interesting interpersonal relationships. Whether it's between yourself and a civilian or yourself and another Super-- or worse, yourself and the law-- it's going to be a doozy.

FEEL FREE TO ALTER THESE PROMPTS TO YOUR NEEDS.
Relationships don't necessarily have to be romantic to work in this context.


DYNAMICS:

Super (hero? villain?) vs Civilian: Maybe they're your best friend, or maybe they're the object of your affections-- but they're still in danger if your nemesis finds out!

Super vs Super: Things should be a little easier, right? You're superfriends, right!? Do you know each other's identities, or is this friendship/partnership strictly business?

Opposing Sides: Whether you're good versus evil or Vigilante versus the Law, this situation is a bit... stickier. Can your feelings of compassion cross the boundaries or is this a "fuck it, let's hatemance" situation?
