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:

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.
Mingle with your fellow creatures, or with the "real" people who tag you.
???
Profit.

The nerve of her! Coming here with your face!

The Mistaken Identity Meme

There are infinite universes, and only a limited range of human features. Whether your character is a twin, a triplet, a clone, a shapeshifter, a really good makeup artist, or just played by a reasonably prolific actor, there's someone out there in RP land who's a dead ringer for them. Shenanigans are practically required to ensue.

You know the drill. Post, tag, profit.

accidental child acquisition meme

For all your "whoops I guess I have a kid now?" needs. Did you always want to be a parent? Did you swear you'd never ever be a parent? Doesn't matter now.

Possible scenarios include, but are not limited to:

Left on your doorstep with a tearjerking note
Wandering around unsupervised
Entrusted to you by a friend/stranger/enemy
Has apparently adopted YOU
Product of your past indiscretions
Product of your PARENTS' past indiscretions
Summoned from another dimension
Rescued from a mad scientist's lab

The kid in question can be whatever character tags yours, or you can enlist that character to help you wrangle your new NPC rugrat. Suit yourselves. Have fun!

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?

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'.

Literally the only rule: tag anyone BUT canonmates.

Seriously, that's it. Your flimsy pretexts are as follows; pick one and go after that delicious crack!threading. Just do it.

Option One: The Portal Looks like you're not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy. Your character has arrived in a strange new world, among strange new people. Maybe they touched something they shouldn't?

Option Two: The Fusion Don't want to bother with culture shock? AU your character into another's milieu, or maybe it's the best of both worlds. Your vampire is now a Starfleet ensign, your bronzerider is now a Mr. Darcy clone, whatever.

Option Three: The Pocket Dimension Milliways. Callahan's Crosstime Saloon. The Wood Between the Worlds. Both characters have found their way into some kind of liminal universe where this kind of thing just happens.

Public displays of affection make people very uncomfortable.

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.

Repost at will. Feel free to change up the GIFs.

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

Credit blacklisle if you're nice like that.
