MADE THINGS

Some (maybe even you) would say you're not a person. You were made, not born: every aspect of your being was designed by someone else.

At least, in the beginning.

You're self-aware, though, and your experiences are slowly changing you. Are they making you wiser, or just more unpredictable? And was this part of the purpose for which you were created -- or will there be consequences if you stray too far from expectations?

Instructions:

  1. Post a top-level comment with your character, and put their name and canon in the subject line. In the body of the comment, explain what kind(s) of being they are (or could be), plus any other preferences you have.
  2. Mingle with your fellow creatures, or with the "real" people who tag you.
  3. ???
  4. Profit.

THE MANHANDLING MEME
A blatant ripoff of respectful homage to this.


Sometimes you just crave a gentle, loving touch...
and sometimes, you want to shake someone til the change flies out of their pockets.

In medias res

(Latin: "in the midst of things")

the practice of beginning an epic or other narrative by plunging into a crucial situation that is part of a related chain of events.

How to play:

  • Post a top-level comment with your character in action. You can RNG a scenario or make up your own.
  • Blank top-levels will be deleted, sorry! Try the next meme on the left.
  • It's okay to assume characters have already been introduced - even if by "introduced" you mean "plowed into while on the run from the zombie horde."
  • List your preferences, and respect other people's.
  • Tag around.

Roll-a-Scene:

01 Chase Scene: On the run from the cops, or maybe you are the cops. However it works, someone's trying to get away, and someone else doesn't want 'em to. Also good for zombies, dinosaurs, and disaster movies.

02 Gambling: Strangers of all stripes can run into each other at the roulette wheel or poker table, whether it's a classy casino in Monaco or an illegal dice game in a Gotham alleyway.

03 A Formal Affair: Maybe it's an elegant dinner or maybe it's an over-the-top post-Oscar bash, but you're at a party where no expense was spared. Obviously someone is going to start a scene. Maybe it's you.

04 In Flagrante: This isn't what you think! Or maybe it is. Either way, someone got caught in the act. (This doesn't have to be NSFW; there are lots of embarrassing things you can get caught doing with your pants on.)

05 Lost: I thought you printed the directions! Whether in an unfamiliar city or in the middle of nowhere, you are lost. Maybe the other character's lost with you, or maybe they can give you some guidance.

06 Fight Scene: Bars, battles, barbarians - the punches or bullets are flying, and you're in the middle of it. Will you escape with your roguish good looks intact? Will you escape at all?

07 Close Quarters: "Handcuffed together" is a classic. Or you can be stuck with each other in a jail cell, hospital room, airplane seat, or other tight spot.

08 Mistaken Identity: There's been a mix-up! Whether by design (yours or someone else's), or by some wacky accident, you've been mistaken for someone else. How to clear this up?

09 Cliffhanger: Literally, someone's dangling in midair. Will the other party offer assistance or just point and laugh? Or are you both (heh heh) hanging out together?

10 Roll Your Own: Ice skating rink, pirates, picnic lunch raided by giant radioactive ants...? Look, I can't think of everything.

IN HIDING

Sometimes you just need to lie low for a little while. Or a long while. The time may pass more swiftly when you've got company - whether friend, enemy, or stranger - but on the other hand you've both got to be careful not to give each other away.

Comment with your character. Tag other people's characters. Profit.

MISSED CONNECTION

"A missed connection is a type of personal advertisement which arises after two people meet but are too shy or otherwise unable to exchange contact details." - Wikipedia

HOW TO PLAY

  1. Subject line: your character / canon / prefs (whether you're open to cross-canon/misfires/etc). Comment: a "missed connection" ad placed by your character. You can make it as specific or as open-ended as you want. Get creative. Make liberal use of Noodle Incidents.
  2. Reply to any ads that are directed at your character. Or look like they might be directed at your character. Or can somehow be construed to indicate your character. (Just remember to respect people's stated limits.)
  3. Thread your little hearts out.

SNOWED IN

It's really coming down out there. In fact, a lot of it already has come down. Enough to block all the doors and darken the windows. Let's face it, you're not going anywhere for a while.

You and your companion are just going to have to find a way to occupy yourselves until the weather improves. A Scrabble marathon? Wild and crazy sex? A fight to the death over the last granola bar? These are only a few of the options.

Comment with your character and your preferences. Stay warm, kids!

Consentacles: The Meme

It's time to appreciate that much-maligned and versatile appendage — the humble tentacle. Equally useful for gripping or groping, prying or poking, strangling bad guys or stroking good guys, tentacles are the most fun you can have without a skeleton.

(Of course, if you want your tentacles appreciated, you shouldn't stick them where they aren't wanted! This meme is for strictly consensual use of tentacles, sexy or otherwise. I mean it, guys.)

Leave a comment with your character and desired scenario. Are you the tentacled or the tentaclee? Looking for kinky funtimes, or just need to be hugged a lot? Is it strictly for science? Or maybe you just need help getting the pickle jar open? And, uh... how much slime are you comfortable with?

SUGAR: the "spoil me silly" meme

Honey, you don't have to worry about a thing. Somebody's going to take good care of you. Whether that means providing a comfy place to stay and three square meals, showering you with roses and pearls and champagne, or taking you to bed and doing it just the way you like it... or maybe all three? Whatever you need, whatever you want, it's yours tonight. This isn't a transaction: All they want is to make you happy, and all you have to do in return is relax and enjoy it to the full.

Comment with your character and any wishes/preferences, then sit back and let somebody spoil them. Or tag some other character who needs some lovin'.

The Period Costume Meme

Picture your muse in petticoats. Or gauzy Grecian draperies. Or really tight pants and a frock coat. Or full Chinese court dress. Maybe you want them playacting, maybe you like the idea of some other character taking it all off them one layer at a time... maybe you just think it'd look good on them.

There are many reasons for a character to don period attire - a partial list is provided - and many, many eras to draw from.

Instructions

  1. Post your character in the historical garb of your choice. Go ahead and get self-indulgent with the detailed description. Or just find an icon, I guess.
  2. Indicate what scenario(s) you have in mind, whether you're open to wacky period mismatches, and any other prefs you may have.
  3. Tag some folks and get your costume kink on.

The Fake Relationship Meme

You're not together. But you need to make people think you are. Because of reasons.

Maybe you secretly can't stand each other. Maybe you like each other, just not like that. (Or do you?) Maybe this is the only way you'll ever get to be with your crush. Maybe you just need to give off that couple vibe in public, or maybe you're going to be forced to engage in some hot'n'heavy fakeout makeouts. For reasons, okay?

You know the drill. Post, tag, profit.

About

Stuff for you to roleplay. Emphasizing memes that don't have predefined roles, or that require top-level comment content. Because I like those best.

  • Please do not edit these to make them shippier/smuttier/kinkier. Most of them allow for shipping threads already.
