First impressions



THE FIRST IMPRESSION MEME


 


You only get once chance to put your best foot forward. Screw that up, and you'll be forever seared in someone's mind as the person who had spinach in their teeth, or worse!


HOW TO PLAY
1. Drop a top-level!

2. If you have previous CR with someone, you'll have to let them know what your first-impression of them was.

If this is your first time meeting, you'll be compelled to share what kind of vibe they give off. It's okay to be honest! Are they gross? Do they seem approachable? Do you find them incredibly hot? 

3. Find out if your first impression was correct! Maybe that strange loner actually has a heart of gold? You'll never know unless you talk to them!

sleep tight

somnophilia

A meme about sleeping.



Somnophilia (from Latin somnus "sleep" and Greek -philia "friendship") is a fetish in which an individual becomes sexually aroused by someone who is unconscious.

In this meme, we're focusing on just that — sleepy sexytimes!

Of course, this comes in varying degrees of consent agreement/violation. Did characters discuss this beforehand, or was this sprung upon them? Are they aware of this situation, or are they fully off to Dreamland? For this reason, be sure to specify the levels of noncon/dubcon you're comfortable playing out, since things can get pretty wild pretty fast.

And don't get us started on what happens if they wake up.


how to play

top-level with your character and some preferences. how sexy are we talking, and what degree of consent are we looking at?

— other players tag in and get sexy!

Come into these arms again


I have loved you for a thousand years...


Some say that if a pair of lovers die together in tragedy, they will get another chance when they are reborn. Even if the two of you keep losing each other, you'll get to meet again.

This meme is that meeting. For the first time? For the hundredth time? That much isn't clear. What is clear is that on this, your seeming first meeting -

Everything rushes back to you. Memories, emotion, and all the comes with it...including the memory of how you two died. Overwhelming, isn't it? Some people find it hard to accept, for good reason. What will you do? You can't just bring it up, they'll think you're crazy! Maybe you don't want to bring it up, as you refuse to believe it yourself. And even if you do believe it, that doesn't mean you have to embrace it. You're your own person, after all. You refuse to love someone merely because of who you were in the past.

Or maybe you can't help but let these feelings rise to the surface because they're too strong. No matter what, you can't repress it. In fact, the more you two meet and spend time together, the more you find yourself falling back into the old roles...and making the old mistakes. That isn't good, though; there's one more thing. One of you, when you first met, had a vision about how the two of you would die this time.

You can't let that happen. Not again.

  • Comment with your character and your preferences.
  • Feel free to do a modern AU of your character. Assumed CR and AUs are a must here.
  • Don't feel obligated to stick with first meetings. Play that the characters have known each other for a while, are trying to have a relationship while trying to be their own unique selves, not having a relationship because THE PAST DOESN'T DEFINE ME, or even trying to avoid death in an adventurous fashion!
  • Reply to others.

...I'll love you for a thousand more.

THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL


HOW TO PLAY
- top level with your characters.
- others must admit, as you can guess, what your character makes them feel. nothing complicated, yet deeply...disturbing? possibly?

Get busy breeding

THE IN HEAT/IN RUT AU MEME


There's no need for elaborate backstories for this AU. You go into heat, rut, whatever you'd like to call it. You've always done so since you were of age to do so. It's a socially accepted norm, and people have gotten used to the difficulties that come with the mating seasons. Life goes on.

Isn't this alpha/beta/omega, then? No, not at all. In this meme, there are no gender-variant genitalia unless your character comes prepackaged with those. No giant cocks - again, unless your character is already packing - or self-lubricating assholes or anal wombs, and no knotting. Unless that's your thing. There's also no set in stone roles with regards to dominance and submission, and some people do not even feel the inclination towards either. Still, there are a few similarities, mainly being that the pheromones of others can put someone into heat that was not in it before and the bond between mates. In addition, some humans/human-stand-ins have created packlike dynamics in response, but this is not universal.

In this meme, it's just regular old human...oids feeling the urge for sex. And by "urge," we of course mean all-consuming drive. If characters choose to ignore that urge, it will backfire on them. The more they put it off, the more they will lose their control, becoming more irritable and aggressive, and eventually be nothing but a rutting animal until the need to mate is satisfied. Not all heats call for mating, of course, and most people can just relieve themselves, but when you do mate, you feel the urge to stay by their side and essentially "nest." These desires don't always pan out into offspring, and mating isn't forever unless it's mutually decided upon. However, impregnating your mate is said to be one of the most euphoric experiences a person can have, even if some people only mate because they want to utterly possess someone, as mates are bonded for a while.

If there's anything that's to your fancy that's been left out, go ahead and add it in. Play it how you'd like!

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character and preferences.

  • Include what you're interested and not interested in.

  • Respond to others!

Married at First Meeting


Breathe. This is the most important day — moment — of your life. Back straight. Eyes up. Here you stand at the alter, about to pledge vows to the person you'll be married to for the rest of your years.

A person you've never seen until a few minutes ago. Someone you have barely heard of, only just met. What happens next? It's fine. Only one or two momentous outcomes may rest on this union.

Don't to forget to breathe. Remember, this is the most important day of your life.

HOW TO PLAY
⟢ It's what it says on the tin. Your character will marry the person they're only just now meeting and the people who tag you fit the role.
⟢ Set your top-level up in the usual fashion. Leave it blank if you'd like, but you can also wax poetic about ideas and potential hooks you've got in mind.
⟢ Folks tag in, you tag out.
⟢ Congrats! The person who tags you is your new spouse.
⟢ Wedding bells are ringing.

Are you, are you, coming to the tree



the enchanted forest meme

Oh, fairy tales. Do they remind us that no matter what happens, things can still turn out alright and your prince will come, or do they tap into your primal fears and remind you of what and what not to do to avoid an untimely end? Do they reflect the human condition and subconscious, or are they just clever stories to amuse adults and keep kids up at night? Or are they as sweet as they seem? Who knows. It's time to find out.


oo1. comment with your characters
make sure to put names, series, & preferences somewhere!
you can use < ! > sans the spaces to make the comment "blank"
oo2. reply to others in character
oo3. use the rng and enter 1-12
oo4. play out what happens—anything goes!
oo5. profit? oh yeah!
oo6. totally not based off of fairy tales




prompts
There might be triggers, depending on how the prompts are interpreted.

one → small quest it might be a rare herb or a cup of magic water, but someone’s life depends upon you going through these woods and getting it. will you find it right away? have to battle a witch for it? or maybe you don’t want to succeed at all.

two → lost how did you manage to get lost in these woods? you had that map, right? how did you even get to this part of the country? whatever happened, you’re stuck until someone helps you out. if they want you out in the first place.

three → chased these woods weren’t exactly the place you wanted to go, but you had no choice. innocent or guilty of a crime, or a victim of circumstance, these woods might buy you some time… wait. was that a wolf in the distance?

four → the old castle sometimes when you’re lost or wandering about, you see something really amazing or unusual. or something you were never meant to find. like that old abandoned castle people have been whispering about…

five → passing through the forest has a well-worn path that no one ever strays from, lest something magical happens to them. you’ve traveled it often enough, but just because you’re on the path doesn’t mean you’ll be left alone.

six → refuge it might be dark and cold, or entirely welcoming, but it’s the only place those nasty goons or insane villagers won’t follow you. but what exactly is keeping everyone else away from here? or did you want into some danger yourself?

seven → chance encounter it’s a fairy! no, wait, that was just an ogre. an ogre?! from sorcerers to talking deer, you can meet anything in an enchanted forest. so will you meet someone who wants to help you, or will they want to eat you instead?

eight → danger this forest doesn’t like newcomers, and the creatures don’t like humans. its ways are old and strange, and just because you’ve been able to enter it doesn’t mean you’ll be spared. no one likes trespassers, after all.

nine → abandoned for whatever reason, you were abandoned here a long time ago. this is the only place you have ever known, and you’d rather not leave. not even for that prince who has come to take you back home, long lost princess.

ten → large quest the forest might be the end of your quest, or it might be a large part of it. you’ve been fighting hard for a long time to rescue the princess or defeat the wizard, and this forest isn’t going to scare or defeat you. will it?

eleven → spell trapped in an ancient oak tree? put under a sleeping curse? or maybe you’re the one who is causing that mischief from that little cottage you’ve hidden in the old forest people are learning to become wary of these days.

twelve → magical not all enchanted forests are scary! some of them are filled with sunlight, fairies, pretty little birds, and all those big-eyed creatures, all of them singing along with you, having a wonderfully good time.

honest introductions
You know what they say about first impressions: you'll replay them in your mind for years to come at midnight, or when you're in the shower, hyperfixating over what you could've done differently because you're an idiot.

Wait. That just me?

We could be immortals

The Immortal & Mortal Romance Meme
You'll outlive this person, it's a given. Their lifespan compared to yours is but a speck, an ant in the eyes of a god. You're immortal - or, at least, extremely long-lived - and they're doomed to die. Yet, somehow, you've begun to love them. Will you nip this in the bud and try to cut things out from the root...or will you let yourself be set up for inevitable loss?

how to play;
  • Comment with your character and your preferences (ie, m/f, no smut, etc). Also, be sure to include what part your character will play, otherwise you become nearly impossible to tag.
  • Reply to others.
  • Use my prompts or make up your own.


prompts;
  1. unspoken: There's something between you that is more than platonic, and you both understand it though you've never discussed it.
  2. pursuit: Someone admits their feelings; an attempt at courtship may begin, though what qualifies as "courtship" or "dating" may differ between the two of you.
  3. push them away: You, the immortal, know you'll only watch the mortal die and no matter how you view them, you want them to look for someone better. So you'll try to drive them away from you.
  4. inexperienced experience: Despite your many, many, many years, you actually have no experience in romance...or in sex.
  5. unique show of affection: When you've been on this earth as long as you have, you may have ways to show your love that are beyond the norm.
  6. actually forbidden: Your long-lived race is forbidden from romantically fraternizing with the ones
  7. accept it: Damn all the consequences, you both know the risks. You want to be together.
  8. lovemaking: The obligatory smut option. Is it as you'd expect, or do your differences raise their heads here, too?
  9. differences: Speaking of differences, your cultures and your experiences sometimes clash. Do you work through them and learn from it or does one of you get frustrated?
  10. condescending: Despite your years, it's important to remember to not be patronizing to your partner.
  11. make the most: You only have a limited time together. Make every moment count.
  12. baby mine: The two of you have an offspring. Who do they take more after...and will they have their immortal parent's traits?
  13. come and go: A partner who has lived for centuries or longer may find themselves drifting away or finding they need to keep traveling as they always have, but they know there's always one place and one person they can return to.
  14. i watched you change: You can only watch them grow older and weaker. They may doubt your love now that they are not as young or beautiful as they once were. There is no need for that.
  15. the end of the line: Your love cannot keep them alive, but you will be with them in their last moments.

Smutty Pantheon

Gods and Goddesses exist, sitting in the heavens high up in the clouds watching over Mortals. However, just simply sitting on your throne in the heavens and watching things from afar isn't something all gods find riveting. A simple visit to Earth can do much to refresh a God. Perhaps you're a God or Goddess venturing down into the mortal world or maybe you're a mortal that is getting the chance to encounter a God. All things are possible here.

A rare beauty


FIND THE BEAUTY



Today, we'll press below the obvious. We'll dig deep to find the true beauty that's within. For some of you, we'll need to dig deeper.

Uh. Maybe not that deep. Too deep. Too deep!

...this could end up being a real challenge. But I still think everyone's beautiful. Yes. Even that guy!


how to play.

○ Comment with your character.
○ Other characters will remark on what they find beautiful about your character. Of course, they can talk about physical features, but hopefully, they'll be more creative than that.
○ We can't make any promises.
○ Return the favor. Share the joy. Make someone smile today.
