Arranged Marriage

Congratulations!

You're getting married. Whether that's exciting, horrifying, politically necessary, or simply the least bad option on the table is another matter entirely.

Your parents signed the contract before either of you could walk. A monarch looked at a map and decided this seemed like a sensible way to prevent a war. Somebody inherited a title, a curse, or a kingdom with a spouse conveniently attached.

Whatever the reason, the wedding's happening.

Now comes the awkward part: figuring out what exactly to do with the person you're expected to spend the rest of your life with. You might fall in love, or you might spend the entire marriage plotting each other's untimely demise. There's plenty of room in between.

RULES

Standard meme practices apply here, as always.

WRONG NUMBER, RIGHT PERSON

You meant to text somebody else.

The stranger who got the message could tell you that. They could also provide you with the best advice of your life.

HOW TO

Post your character with the text they accidentally sent to the wrong number. No blank top-levels. Give the stranger something worth responding to. Anything from dinner plans to a bad night works.
Others can reply as the stranger who received it.
Correct the mistake whenever you want. Until then, answer the message. If the conversation sticks, save the number. The next text can be on purpose.

EXAMPLE STARTERS

are you awake

come get me. please

mom wants to know if you're bringing someone sunday

i did it!!!!!

i miss you

settle something for me

THE BODY HEAT MEME

Post with your character! They're now stuck in a very cold place of your choice. It can be anything, such as a freezing chamber, a cavern or a small cabin in the midst of a blizzard. The choice is up to you.

Comment around! Now your character has some company in this bone-chilling environment. The two of them share two things in common: clothes completely unfitting for this weather (be they summer clothes or even lingerie) and a blanket.

A blanket? Yes, just one warm blanket and no other ways to escape the cold. The two of them will have to share it in order to stay alive in this weather. Don't worry, you're sure to find a common language in this terrible situation!

So, uh, have fun, I suppose. Try to not freeze to death!

Protip: friction and body heat are both excellent ways to fend off cold.

TRAGIC

love story

So many tales begin with a question: will these two souls find each other, and can love survive the trials that rise against them?

But suppose this story is a different one.

Here, something went wrong a long time ago. Perhaps its roots reach back before either dared to dream of the other, or perhaps it began the instant their eyes met in the crowd. There is a prophecy hanging over them. War is coming closer. The ship has already left the harbor. Some curses are older than either of them.

One of them was never meant for this world. Or perhaps one is changing, little by little, into something the other cannot follow. The ending may already be there, written in the bones of the earth. They know it. Or they will.

Still, they reach for each other.

For now, they hold on.

HOW TO

01 Post your character, your preferences, whatever else people should know.

02 Tag in and share something beautiful with somebody, even if it isn't going to last.

03 Roll, pick, mix things together, or bring your own heartbreak.

04 Canon tragedy, AU tragedy, avoidable, inevitable: if the love is doomed, it belongs here.

( why are they doomed? )

FIRST LOVE MEME

HOW TO PLAY

Your character, canon, and preferences go in the title.

The tags you take are equal to the tags you make.

Mostly because I'm surprised we've never had this kind of meme before. We love high school AUs. We love romance. Why not combine those into a glorious mix?

Your teen years are important, formatively speaking. You're trying to find out just where you belong and what kind of person you're going to be. This already daunting task is complicated by the soul-sucking demon known as high school. If you weren't having a hard time before coming here, you certainly are now.

Add into this mixture raging hormones, and baby, you've got a misery stew cooking. But it's not all bad! Sometimes high school crushes can be sweet, and the occasional high school relationship lasts.

So whether you're too cool or distracted for romance or always on to the next good looking stud, come on down and try to navigate the romantic labyrinth that is the halls of Bakerstreet High.

HOW TO PLAY

Comment with your character and preferences. Needless to say, aging down and AUing is welcomed and probably necessary. Have fun with it! Feel free to include a short blurb about your character's Bakerstreet High self. Are they popular? The class clown? A drifter? A band geek?
Comment to others.
Use the RNG. Or not.

communal bath

You've been traveling for days. Or, knowing you people, you just got out of a fight. Whatever your outer (and inner) turmoil, you're just chuffed to finally get some hot water and rest.

To your delight and surprise, the bath is even better than you could have ever imagined. The digs could range from a secluded hot spring in the mountains, a marble pool in some obscenely rich mansion, or a surprisingly nice bath on a starship. It's great. Unfortunately, you don't get to enjoy it alone.

Do you pretend you don't see them and look forward? Try to strike up small talk? Help them with washing the caked dirt out of their hair? There's always the option to sink down to your chin and pray they don't bother you.

Hop on in, the water's grand.

Post a top level for your character, preferences, etc.
Tag around. Both gen and shipping are allowed, so please respect preferences and boundaries.
Don't be suspicious. Don't be suspicious.

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.

THE BEACH
AFTER DARK ☾

The sun set hours ago, but you’re still here, lingering on the sand. Maybe you’re barefoot, maybe you’ve pulled your jacket tighter as the wind off the water grows colder, sharper than it was in the daylight. The beach looks different now, the dark water moving restlessly along the shore.

You may have come here seeking solitude, or you may have failed to leave when the rest of the world did. The ocean rolls on either way. Do you feel small? Do you feel free?

You’re not alone, though. Someone else is out on the dunes, close enough to keep you company.

HOW TO PLAY

★ Leave a comment with your character and info.
★ Tag!
★ Pick a prompt, or don’t. The beach isn’t here to judge.

Well, it's happened again. You've walked into a room, and you're wearing a t-shirt with your most troublesome personal issue written on it for everybody to see.

Whether it's "daddy issues", "prone to depressive spells", or "unresolved guilt over destroying a city whilst possessed by an evil spirit", your private struggles are now visible to anyone who encounters you! No way to hide it--there it is in big block text, out in the open.

» 1. Post your character. Put the text of their issue in the subject line!
» 2. Tag around to other characters to empathize, encourage, commiserate, or mock!

THE GARDEN MEME

There is a garden, and it has always been there, and it has always been waiting for somebody.

The first part is all cottage flowers and crooked little paths, herbs growing wherever they'll fit, fruit trees heavy with something ripe, butterflies, warm grass, and a greenhouse tucked off to one side. There's a fountain somewhere beyond the lawn, plenty of shade, and more than enough places to sit.

Further in, the hedges get taller.

The paths narrow. Roses climb over walls and archways until they're everywhere, and somewhere past all that green is a maze.

Some parts of the garden are nicer than others. Gardens are like that. So are the things that keep them.

Come in. Have a strawberry. Every gate is easier to enter than to leave, but you knew that.

How to Play

Comment with your character, canon, preferences, et al.
Tag around and pick from either bank, roll, or mix and match.
THE GARDEN is for the nice part.
THE ROSE GARDEN is for...everything else.
