THE HORROR
OF OUR
LOVE
OF OUR
LOVE
NOW SHOWING
Tonight, you wake up to a nightmare come true. There is a monster under your bed or a killer behind the door. Hell's open. The demons are here. You're the star of the horror show.
But you aren't alone. Horror has rules, you see. You'd be lucky to slash your way to the end of this story without meeting your foe.
They're the thing in the dark. The shadow waiting with a knife in hand — you're in danger from them, and the stab goes deeper. You're in love with them. Scarier? They feel the same.
Somewhere in the courtship there will be blood. Yours. Theirs. A mix, Valentine's Day red.
LOVE HAS SURVIVED WORSE THAN A WELL-AIMED MACHETE.
HOW TO PLAY
- Comment with your character and prefs. Cast them in a role, if you DAAAAARE.
- Thread.
- Dark themes are welcome.
the IC Wishes meme
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
What to do
★ Post with your character! DO NOT put their name and canon in the header. Instead put a wish they might like to have fulfilled.
Examples: I'd like a cupcake | I want to be a doctor when I grow up | I wish someone would do my homework for me
★ Look around at the wishes of other characters! If you see one your character can either fulfill, help with, or at least offer encouragement or advice for... tag them!

You want a date. Unfortunately, this means you have to ask.
HOW TO PLAY
- Comment with your character, preferences, and an IC attempt to ask somebody out. No blank top-levels.

- New and established CR welcome.
Sometimes kissing gets out of hand.
Maybe it was supposed to be quick. Maybe it has been coming for weeks.
Either way, you are past the part where this counts as one kiss.
HOW TO PLAY
- Comment with your character, preferences, and limits.
- Tag around and choose or roll from the main bank.
- Add a WHERE or WHY NOW? prompt if you want more setup.
SHAME YOUR CHARACTER! the meme
Familiar with the concept of 'pet shaming'? Basically, your pet does something bad, you give them a sign, and take a picture so the whole world knows their sins. Google has many examples. Now. We do this for our characters.
○ Post with your character! Name and Canon in the header.
○ DO NOT LEAVE YOUR COMMENT BLANK. BLANK COMMENTS WILL BE DELETED.
○ A magical invisible fairy has placed a shame sign on your character of whatever terrible (or terribly embarrassing) thing your character is guilty of. Write what this sign says in the comment section.
○ Tag out! Make a new friend! And by make a new friend I mean make fun of them!

The Train to the Afterlife Meme
Congratulations: You are dead.
Maybe you know how, maybe you don't. Perhaps the memory is fuzzy, or perhaps it's crystal clear down to the look in your comrades' eyes. Maybe it was your time; you've done all you wanted to. Or maybe you weren't at all ready to go, maybe you went out kicking and screaming - but none of it matters. You know you're dead, and the train is taking you to an afterlife. Perhaps an afterlife of your choice; you might've earned that heaven. Or perhaps you've earned something else entirely.
It'll be a bit of a journey, though, so you might as well take your time and talk to the other people in your coach. Death knows no place: most of them are strangers, even from faraway worlds. But death knows no time either, so who knows, some of them may be people you know, even if last you knew, they were alive - or long gone.
Oh look, here comes the snack cart.
All the usual:

Oh look, here comes the snack cart.
All the usual:
- Post with your character's name and canon in the subject line.
- Said character is now dead for whatever reason - canon, AU, what have you. They are on a train with other dead people from many other times, places and worlds.
- Characters don't know for a fact where they're headed - just a general awareness that they're going to some kind of afterlife. Whatever they think it is is up to the player.
- This meme is built especially for cross-canon interaction, and potentially for threadjacking and group threading - if you're interested, may be a good idea to state as much in your subject line.
- Tag around and play nice!
- TRIGGER WARNING: Meme obviously deals with death and may deal with other unpleasant themes as a result. Please be cautious.
FIRST LOVE MEME
Somebody has to be the first.
The first person you kiss. The first person who makes you understand why songs keep carrying on about love and affection like that. The first person who hurts you so badly that twenty years later, one particular brand of soap can still ruin your afternoon.
HOW TO PLAY
Your character, canon, and preferences go in the title.
The tags you take are equal to the tags you make.
( prompts )
 You’ve got your TFLN, you’ve got your sexting, now here’s the meme for all those gen texts, phone calls, voicemails, pictures of your cats, and whatever else your little heart can come up with, because who doesn't like a little old-fashioned friendly texting. (Or enemy texting, if that's more your bag.) instructions: What it says on the tin! Leave a comment with your character, include preferences, a start, absolutely nothing or whatever you want. Run around and reply to others. Lather, rinse, repeat. |

HOW TO PLAY • Post with your character, canon, preferences, et al. • Others tag you with one or more symbols from the list below. • You write a starter using the requested soulmate trope. ( + ) |
THE ULTIMATE BODY HEAT MEME
Somebody's cold. Somebody else is warm. Might as well make use of that.
It could be cold feet under somebody's legs on the couch, a heater that picked tonight to quit, wet clothes after a miserable walk home, or a storm that has made sharing body heat considerably less optional than it was an hour ago.
Whatever happened, there is warmth nearby.
You may have to get closer for it.
HOW TO PLAY
- Comment with your character and preferences.
- Tag around and choose or roll 1–71.
 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! ( trigger warning ) |
Hair gets in the way. It tangles, comes loose, catches on things, and occasionally survives a haircut that should be classified as unethical torture.
Sooner or later, we've gotta take the matters of unruly locks into our own hands.
