You know what they say about assuming, don't you?

Yup. Exactly. Always. No exceptions, not in this meme.

how to play

there's only one rule:
NO BLANK TOP LEVELS
Your character is, willingly or not, confessing who or what they would give their life for. This can be as long or short a list as is in character for your character. Other characters react. Have fun.

I BELIEVE IN [ m e m e ]

- post it for all to see in your subject header.
- brace for the impact of all the naysayers.

THE YAHOO ANSWERS MEME




No question is a stupid one. There may, however, be stupid answers.

● Blank top levels are encouraged in these parts. The re-re-remix here is that instead of the usual subject line, you'll put a question that your character wants to know the answer to (but has been too afraid to ask).
● Other characters will provide the wisdom only crowd-sourced internet answers can provide! Sincerely or trolling, they'll put their two cents in.
● Thread-jacking will happen in this meme. Somebody might jump into to correct an inaccuracy. Maybe a keyboard warrior wants to start a flamewar. Or, you know. You might just be an idiot and everyone everywhere needs to be informed of that.

character(s) i'm thirsty for


don't be ashamed. we've all got them, characters we just...man. they're great. love them. chef's kiss. couldn't be more perfect. of course, we don't always have a reasonable excuse to tag them, and that doesn't quench our thirst.

so why wait for a reason? just admit to your character crush! whether they're a castmate, crosscanon who'd be a perfect fit, or a total rando that wouldn't meet your blorbo in a thousand years, there's no more need to vaguepost on rpanons about characters you wish would notice you.

tell us here. this? this is a judgement free zone. be as thirsty as you want on main. and maybe, just maybe, your prince/ss will come.

The Support Group Meme



Per Wikipedia:
In a support group, members provide each other with various types of help, usually nonprofessional and nonmaterial, for a particular shared, usually burdensome, characteristic. The help may take the form of providing and evaluating relevant information, relating personal experiences, listening to and accepting others' experiences, providing sympathetic understanding and establishing social networks. A support group may also work to inform the public or engage in advocacy.
And now you know. And knowing's half the battle.
  • Post with a character.

  • Unlike most memes, you'd probably be better off by providing a general theme for people to respond to. You know, have your subject or post read "People who got turned into animals in their respective games" or "Time travelers and keeping the space/time continuum intact."

  • Respond to other people and support them through their trials and tribulations.

  • NOTE: While you're welcome to post whatever the hell you want, if you delve into triggery whatnot (i.e. abuse, suicide, things which tend to actually evoke real life support groups and therapy) please label your posts with a nice and blatant warning so someone who was looking for Time Travelers Anonymous doesn't accidentally stumble into your suicide thread instead.

PROTECTOR/PROTECTED

There’s no real push to your actions; you do them as if they were second nature. Perhaps, initially, you were assigned this role, as protector and guardian of this person. Maybe you took it on because there was no one else. A natural guardian or not, good or evil, you caught a shining to them and felt…something. Something hard to explain, but you want to keep them safe and happy - or at the very least, content. No one is as dedicated to them as you. You want them to reach their goals; to help them achieve them, you'll do what you must, even if it means being their gofer or their right hand.

But most of all, you don't want them to end up like you. They're worth more than that.

Yet somehow, along the line, you became more to them, more than just their protector. You protect them anew and you've found a different way to make them happy. It's selfish, too, because you love them in your way and you want them more than anything. You may feel guilty, of course. They don't, though, and that's what matters.

  • Comment with your character, preferences, and what you'd prefer to play: protector or protected.
  • Remember, you don't have to be so rigid. A traditionally weak character can "protect" a traditionally strong one in emotional ways.
  • Reply to others.

TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE



It's an old game, a good way to get to know people, or test how well you know someone you know already. Maybe you have to play, maybe it's just for fun. It doesn't matter; it's time to play.

  • Post your character to the meme with three facts about themselves, two of which are true, one of which is a lie.
  • Characters respond with their guesses.
  • Respond in kind to those who tag you, discuss their guesses.
  • Tag around and challenge others!

The Coffeehouse Meme


it's a cold day...wherever you are. brrrrr. you are outside, walking around (maybe holiday shopping, or portal jumping, or maybe you clicked a weird pen or phone booth button and landed here. whatever the case, you are now outside a quaint little cafe in New York, right by Central Park, on snowy, December morning. did I mention that it's cold? you walk into the cafe and immediately feel the warmth of the room. there's a fireplace on each side of the little shop, which helps un-nip the frost on your nose. the baristas at the counter great you kindly, and tell you to have a seat and they will send over one of their girls to take your order.

stay a while?


instructions:
1. make a comment (blank or otherwise) with your character's name and canon in the subject. they have entered the cafe. they can leave or stay or even sit down and read a book if they have one on hand. whatever your preference.
2. people respond with their characters meeting others inside the cafe. you can do whatever you want, except fight. oh, arguing is allowed, but sword fights? nope.
3. have fun!!

The "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is" Meme

You've been suddenly cursed with an affliction! The powers that be in the world have decided to make it so that everyone in the world has a limited amount of words. You have a specific amount you can speak per day, which is awarded by how useful you're judged to be.

💬 Once you're out, you're out, you can't talk until midnight. Of course, there are ways to gain more...

💬 You can convince some hapless sap to give you some of their own or trade services. You can even sell... whatever someone is willing to buy.

💬 Words also happens to be the currency used. Which means that depending on how they were judged, the poor might now be the rich and vica versa. But be careful - you do have a limit, after all!

💬 This can be done as texting or prose - becoming mute doesn't mean you can't text. Any written word stays intact.

"Could You Take A Life?"


Simple question. Not a very simple thing to answer. Seeing as how many canons — from action to horror — deal with death in one way or another, it's a pretty reasonable thing to ask around these parts.

So, when posed with the question, could you take a life?, how does your character respond? Are they a cold, hard, remorseless killer, someone who's never even thought about murder until now, or something more complex?


  • No blank top-levels.

  • Instead, characters are to respond to the proposed question: could you take a life / could you kill someone?

  • We're asking for honesty here, but it's not as if we have fact-checkers waiting around. Lie if you want. We're not your parents.

an ic meme

 



Before Bumble, and Tinder, and Facebook Marketplace, we had personals, a place where loneliness went to die.

The meme is simple — treat your top-level the way your character would treat a personal ad in the newspaper, or on Craigslist. They should write what they're searching for in the header, and fill the body with more details as needed. Advertise yourself! Be direct! Be honest!

Those who reply are likely here to flame you, but that's to be expected. No one said love was easy.

• Top level your character. Include any details you might think are relevant. Or don't. As always, we're not the cops. Unless you're like, in a sexy cop uniform I guess. Then YOU'RE the cop.

TABOO meme

Most societies have certain mores that are unspoken rules; humanity itself even has such conventions, grilled subconsciously into our minds for our own safety. Don't go out alone at night. Avoid getting wet when it's cold. Don't pick fights with those stronger than you...okay, some of us missed the boat on the last one, but the point still stands. Society's rules tend to be more variable, though they apply to most aspects of life - including sex. In fact, bending the rules on what's considered acceptable in romance and sexual encounters can lead to anything from ostracization to death, depending on the time and culture.

So, play it close to the chest if you're going to do a big, big, big t a b o o. Is it worth the risk?

How to Play


- Comment with your character and preferences. Be sure to include what you want and what you DON'T WANT. Blank comments are fine; info is even better!
- Reply to others.
- Be fun and respect others, as this will deal with some heavy topics and potentially triggering material s.

Swords and Sorcery


In a time long before history or in a realm far, far in the future, exists a fantasy realm of might and magic. Many fantasy classics have existed in a swords and sorcery world—Conan the Barbarian, Red Sonja, and much of Dungeons and Dragons can be ascribed to swords and sorcery. The genre features a pre (or post) technological world where magic is real, and the wilderness is expansive and wild, with vast unknown territories at the edges of the map. Cults and city-states seize power where they can, and warlords conquer and unite tribes until corruption destroys their dynasty.

Interspecies Love Meme

Vampires and humans. Angels and demons. Ghosts and the living. The idea of "opposites attracting" is hardly a new one, but with the rise in popularity of supernatural creatures, aliens, and other sentient beings beyond our human understanding, the forbidden romance trope has been injected a shot of fresh blood- sometimes quite literally.

This meme does just that, taking the whole "not meant for each other" thing to it's most logical extreme. Of course, it's not always angst and depression. These days, mermaids and bird-people can have their relationships in peace to some degree.

Rules
  • Comment with your character, putting any preferences you have (ie, "humanoid characters only," F/M, etc). Also, be sure to note your character's "species" for others to reference (Name | Character | OTA | Human, ghost, mutant, alien, vampire, god, zombie-catgirl hybrid, etc).
  • Reply to others. If your characters aren't different species, feel free to AU or anything else like that.
  • Use the rng to determine your prompt.
  • Also I didn't think I needed to say this, but be excellent to each other. Dick comments and anon bullying are not on.
Prompts
  1. Meeting: Did you know there were, I don't know, werewolves before this? Or maybe you thought all aliens were evil. Will this...thing change your perception?
  2. Falling in Love: You know you're not the same, but your feelings don't care.
  3. Self-Hate: Perhaps you're mad at the being you're in love with, yet you're more angry at yourself.
  4. Can't Be Together: Whether for self-inflicted reasons or societal rules, you can't be in love with who your heart has chosen and it's putting a strain on you.
  5. Pushing You Away: Things are getting too intense, and for both of your sake, you want to make friend/crush/lover hate you.
  6. Beauty & the Beast: One of you is beautiful, the other hideous. Maybe, though, the beautiful one is ugly in the eyes of society, depending on where you live. Whatever the case is, you don't look the same.
  7. Confession: Screw the rules, you're going to tell that sweet girl/guy/other how you feel! What can go wrong? Or this is something you've put a lot of thought into and you're scared, but you're going to do it.
  8. First Time...or Not: Finally, the two of you are taking the next step and getting physical. It may go off without a hitch, depending on your...you know, or- OH GOD, HOW IS THAT GOING TO GO IN HERE. Wait, you have a...?
  9. The Kinky Option: Hey, maybe being different will pay off. Think about it. A long tongue? Ghost powers? Sounds like it could be fun in the bedroom.
  10. Prejudice: "What are you doing with that dirty monster?" "You know we can't be involved with humans!" "We don't take kindly to your type around here." Why can't people just leave you two be?
  11. Facing Your Instinct: It's hard to be with someone when you want to suck their blood. Or eat their brains. Or possess them.
  12. Because of Me: Your lover has been dragged into your fight or hurt by others of your kind. Now they're in the crossfire.
  13. Standing Up For You: Hey, knock it off! I don't care what you think, he's perfect in my eyes.
  14. You Don't Know You're Beautiful: The fluffy option where you're trying to make your loved one see just how much you care and how they're beautiful to you, no matter what.
  15. Gifts: Show your affection with a gift from your culture.
  16. Starting a Family: Can you even reproduce? Is it something you want to consider? Perhaps it's new ground to tread, so you'll have to be the first to think about it.

TOUCH MEME



From birth, human beings are wired to touch and to be touched. Whether it's a warm embrace or a reassuring hand on the shoulder, touch is an integral part of human interaction and creating bonds. Not all forms of touch are created equal however. Some are gentle and uplifting while others can be discouraging or even harmful, so one should always be mindful of the unspoken messages they intend to convey to those around them.

how to play
  • Comment with your character and preferences.
  • Others reply with one or multiple prompts.

little steps


No matter how much they care for the other person and want to be with them, some people simply can't dive head first into relationships. Little things that form intimacy and romance, little acts we take for granted - being close, holding hands, kissing, showing affection in public - they won't or can't do...at least not right off the bat. Something in their past, their experiences, their trauma, or even their personality holds them back. For both them and the person they're "dating," as it were, this can lead to a frustrating experience.

Still, steps can be taken towards letting the walls fall down. Little, tiny steps, but those can mean the world all the same.

The People
One With the help of a partner, one person warms up.
Two Both sides of this couple are learning how to be in a relationship and to be open.

The Actions
Talking → A relationship can't exist if there's not some communication, so either learn to use your words or become so close you can speak without them.
Spending Time → Even such mundane occurrences as watching TV or cooking together is new ground.
Touching → You might just find you enjoy reaching out and touching them.
Kissing → Another kind of touch, when you think about it.
Cuddling → ...at least they're warm and, hopefully, soft.
Sleeping → You're at your absolute weakest when you're asleep. It shows trust to doze off around this person.
Public Display → It's one thing to be in love in private, but showing you care in public is a different story.
Kind Words → Three little words (more or less) are all it takes. Why, then, are they so hard to get out?
Sex The ultimate stumbling block to some. To be laid blissfully bare is to truly let your guard down.

the HISTORICAL CHARACTERS meme


WHETHER YOUR CHARACTER IS CANON OR AN OC, WHETHER THEY HERALD FROM MEIJI JAPAN OR VICTORIAN ENGLAND (OR ANYWHERE IN BETWEEN), THIS IS THE MEME FOR YOU.

BECAUSE THIS MEME PROVIDES A SPACE TO LET HISTORICAL CHARACTERS MEET ACROSS AGES. HERE YOU CAN CHOOSE TO LET CHARACTERS INTERACT IN A GENERIC (BUT HISTORICALLY ADAPTED) JAMJAR OR YOU CAN AU YOUR CHARACTER INTO ANOTHER HISTORICAL CHARACTER'S DAY AND TIME. OR HAVE OTHERS DO THE SAME INTO YOURS.

AND HERE, HISTORY SPANS ALL ERAS FROM PREHISTORIC TO THE 1970s, SO A WIDE RANGE OF CHARACTERS IS ALLOWED. TO LUMP THINGS TOGETHER A BIT, FANTASY CHARACTERS AND STEAMPUNK CHARACTERS ARE ALLOWED TOO, IF THE AESTHETIC'S SUITABLE.

GO CRAZY AND HAVE FUN!



How to play -

1. Comment with your character's name, fandom and preference in the subject line.
2. It might be a good idea to state whether you're open to jamjarring or au'ing (or both) and what particular eras you're interested in.
3. Others comment to you with a prompt from this ancient prompt table or write a starter themselves, whatever gets those creative juices flowing.
4. Note that both historical and contemporary characters can tag top levels, as long as contemporary players are willing to au their characters into a historical setting.
5. Thread out those days of yore!

A romantic day in the garden

— garden meme

Sometimes, all you need is a brief retreat from the rest of the world. A place filled with the soothing scent of flowers and the gentle touch of the passing breeze. Might be real nice to just lie down in the grass and relax for a bit...

hidden relationship;


The fact that you're in a relationship with this person isn't public knowledge. Actually, no one knows about it except for the people involved. Maybe you guys are just private like that; on the other hand, it may be a necessity to keep things a secret from others. Maybe you're both team mates, and others on the team would give you grief, or you're not supposed to be dating, or you're not the type to usually date and you're only testing the waters. Perhaps it's the combination of you two, possibly an odd couple, that would bring some controversy or some teasing. Or, you know, you could not want to deal with friends and relatives being busybodies. Your reasons are your own.

Are you content with stealing moments to be together as a couple? Do you want to make your relationship known and the fact that you can't drives you batty? Remember, there are lots of benefits to dating in secret. You can be yourselves completely, away from prying eyes, and get to know each other better as potential longterm romantic partners. In a way, it's ideal.

...still, do you ever wish you could scream from the rooftops how much you care for your significant other?

a revised beach episode meme!

If you can't beat the heat, join it! Cool off in the waves, bury your sleeping friends in the sand, hunt for riches, or live like a castaway king on an island's bountiful resources. There are plenty of ways to enjoy the beach! On a hot day like this, what could be more fun... or romantic?
