scene.

➊ you jump, i jump, getting caught halfway through your attempt at suicide isn't the best first impression, but being saved is a little bit of what you both need. ➋ you could almost pass for a gentleman, in gratitude, the poorer of the two has been invited to a snotty, upper class party. all money talk, but subtle gestures shared between you and your special someone. ➌ real party, the real fun happens in the deck, though, out of the dresses and chugging beer, arm wrestling and dancing in time with dancey music ➍ i'm flying, all that unresolved sexual tension has to result in something, doesn't it? a kiss seems almost inevitable. ➎ like one of your french girls, you all know it, nude drawing of your significant other. not as a porcelain doll, but just as beautiful and perfect as you see them as. ➏ to the stars, sneak away for a moment alone in neutral ground -- not wealthy or poor. just you two and the love you share. ➐ you remember what i told you about the life boats?, trouble in paradise. the titanic has hit an iceberg, and it will sink. ➑ i'll never let go, in the end, one of you pays the ultimate price and dies so the other might have a chance to live. ➒ your choice!, mix together or choose another scene from the movie or even make up your own! bask in the shippy misery

meme; came back wrong

[see_the_stars]

  the “CAME BACK WRONG” meme

When we miss people, we want them back, and we want everything to be exactly the same as it was. But that’s not always possible. People change, whether for the better, or for the worse. People come back different. Maybe it’s due to unforeseen circumstances, maybe something terrible or wonderful happened to them, maybe something went wrong.

Either way, whoever you wanted to see again, isn’t quite the same as the last time you saw them.


HOW TO PLAY:
● Post with your character(s). ●
● Include your preferences (returning, waiting, bringing someone back, etc.). ●
● Comment to others if you so desire. ●
● Roll or pick a scenario, or come up with one of your own. ●
● Have fun! ●

Warning: This meme may contain dark themes, death, and violence.

CAME BACK FROM WHERE?

The Dead.
Someone you love is dead, and you just can’t take it anymore, so you dig out your ancient black magic texts to bring them back. But something’s not quite right... they’re not all there, or they’re a monster. Something is really wrong here....

The Lab.
Wherever they were, they were used in experiments. Those experiments changed them. They’re back now, but it’s not the same. They’re different. They went through something.

The Future.
Someone you know has just come back in time from the future, and man, is it different. How they’ve changed. What could have made them become this way? How have things gone in the future to bring this about?

The Hospital.
Something was wrong with them, whether serious or not. They had to spend some time getting better. Now they’re out, but are they really better? Something seems a bit off, a bit different....

The War.
They went off to fight for freedom, justice, love, what have you. Now they’re back, just like you’ve been waiting for. Only they’ve changed. They’ve seen some stuff, man. Heavy stuff. Or maybe something wonderful. Either way, it’s not the same.

Abroad.
They’re off studying in another country, teaching in another country. They moved due to family or career obligations. That’s over now though, and they’re moving back. But time away can do things to a person.

The Store.
They just went to the store down the street. A quick candy run. They’ve been gone for fifteen minutes. But man, those fifteen minutes changed them. Something happened to them out there.

Choose Your Own Adventure.
Mix and match any of the above. Come up with something of your own. Think of something I didn’t? The possibilities are endless!

 

CHANGED HOW?

Monstrous.
Whether brought back from the dead, or catching a zombie virus while out on a walk, they’ve come back as a monster. Something not quite what they used to be.

Dead Inside.
They don’t seem to have the life that they used to. They’re quiet, withdrawn. They might not even talk or have any personality at all. Maybe they’re just a drone. Maybe they're dead outside, too.

Traumatized.
Whatever they went through traumatized them. They can’t talk about it, they have panic attacks. They wake up screaming. They flinch when you touch them.

Stepford Wives.
It seems at first like nothing’s wrong. They’re back, and perfectly happy. A little too happy, even. Way too happy. It’s getting kind of creepy how happy they are....

Jaded.
They’re not traumatized, but they’re definitely bitter and cynical. They don’t believe in hope anymore. Life has changed them.

Cold and Distant.
They used to be your best friend, the love of your life, your soulmate. But now they seem to want nothing to do with you. You have nothing to talk about, no common ground between you anymore.

Wildcard.
Mix and match any of the above, come up with your own bizarre change, think of something different. Anything goes!

 

meme; unexpected protector

[see_the_stars]

  

the unexpected protector a romance meme

You are no strong warrior nor even that skilled of a fighter; you aren't a magical being, a barely-contained force of nature with superpowers, a hunter of arcane creatures, a super spy, or a well-trained assassin. Altogether, you are physically unremarkable. In fact, you may actually be of below-average strength and ability. You could not be the most intelligent in the world, either. Mentally average. Physically average. Just average in all ways. All ways, that is, but one. Your strength of spirit is unparalleled. Once you set your mind to something, nothing can defer your determination...or your support, should you offer it to someone. And you have offered it, and given it, to someone, even if they didn't ask for it. You're dedicated to protecting them from threats, be they physical or emotional, and you'll give them what they need. A shoulder to cry on, unconditional feelings, a calming presence - perhaps even your body. Whatever they have to have, because while you don't have much to give, you'll give it all. Why? Because you love them, of course. You may feel you owe them, too, or that it's just the right thing to do. But that doesn't diminish how you feel for them, nor they for you. In way, they almost depending on you. Because there is one most paramount part of this equation: they may be stronger, they should be protecting you, yet there's still some way you can help and be strong and be important for them. That's enough for both of you. Comment with your character, what role you want to play, whether you prefer angst, fluff, unrequited, etc. Mention if you're open to smut or not. It's not a smut meme, but it could come up. Reply to others. Have fun.

meme; by voice alone

[see_the_stars]

  

By Voice Alone a "blind" shipping meme

Ideally, attraction doesn't hinge entirely on the basis of looks. Beauty fades, after all, and no matter how you may swoon over a person, no one wants to be left with someone whose personality they can't stand once the blush is off the rose. How much looks matter, then, varies from individual to individual. Still, you can't divorce that facet completely from attraction, can you? There's no way you could fall in love with someone you've never actually seen! Emotions and affection are strange beasts. Your character has fallen for a person (?) they've never actually laid eyes on, at least not fully. The two of them have talked - most likely at length, leading your character to feel safe revealing information and growing close - and perhaps the mysterious half has saved your character or pulled strings so events go in their favor. Yet their never actually seen their benefactor, trusted companion, or lover has never stepped into plain sight. They could hide, stay in the shadows, insist on blindfold or covered eyes. They use communicating devices, like phones or computers, or they only come out at night. Maybe your character just cannot see the other; they're blind or the other character is somehow invisible. No matter how tight the bond between these characters is, your character has to wonder what this person (how are we so sure it's a person?) they've come to have such strong feelings for looks like, right? Don't they? Surely, it eats at them, tugging at the back of their mind, despite what they may think they're content with. Of course, you could also play the character who's keeping out of sight. Whether they have real, deep fondness or love for who they're "hiding" from or if it's all a cruel and elaborate manipulation, their reasons (and methods). There's a danger that follows them and they don't want to bring anyone into the line of fire. They don't want anyone to see their general appearance, their hideousness, their species, their mutation, or their scarring. They could just be shy! Regardless of the situation, they have to know eventually their relative anonymity will come to an end. Hiding from someone who cares for them isn't viable, and when and if the reveal should go over badly, will their merit on personality alone make up for what could be called deception? HOW TO PLAY Comment with your character, preferences, what role you want to play, whether and any pertinent information about your character. Reply to others. AUs are welcome here. The challenge here is, of course, playing an emotionally charged scene where the characters aren't necessarily facing each other. They may not even know a great deal about each other! RNG to determine your prompt. PROMPTS In Hiding: They always keep to the shadows or stay behind walls. No matter what, your view is always obstructed. In Disguise: Whether it be a mask or some other kind of costume, they're good at covering up. Don't Look: Before they'll speak to you, you always have to close your eyes or put on a blindfold. Imprisoned: They're trapped somewhere you can't see into. All you can do is hear their voice...and what they're saying intrigues you. Assumed Identity: You can't let them know your real identity, so it's as if you're hiding in plain sight. Already Knew: You actually know this person as more than just a voice or a presence, you just haven't put two and two together. So in Love with Two: You're in love with someone else..and your beloved visitor. You'll have to choose between them, but they're really one and the same! Share and Share Alike: It's easier to be truthful when you can't see how they'd respond. Blind: It's a common trope in fiction. One party, who usually feels unwanted or ugly, doesn't have to deal with any preconceived notions because their love interest is blind. Come Back: You're afraid you've offended your mystery friend, and you're begging them to come back. Shy: You can't reveal yourself to them. You'd never live it down! For Safety: Everything and everyone you come in contact with is destroyed. You can't let anyone else in, but you can talk to them, even if that will eventually cause you to be compromised. Hideous: How could they care for someone who looks like you? Don't Want to Frighten Them: Because of things that have happened to you in your past, you're roughed up and don't want them to see that. Not What You Expected: Given how you speak, they would probably expect someone better. More normal. More beautiful. Better. In My Time of Need: They always come to you when you need them the most. Confession: How can you tell someone you love them when you're not looking them in the eyes! Computer or Phone: Whether by accident or through a message board or party line, you've met up and begun to chat. Nefarious: If they saw you, it'd be less easy to manipulate them, tell them a sob story, and get them on your side. Want You So Badly: You want to touch them. Only touch them, is that so wrong? But you can't. Everything But the Face: They've held your hand or hugged you or anything in between. They just haven't seen your face. Cupid & Psyche: You had one rule: don't look at you. And what did they do? Medusa: See, the thing is...is they can't look at you! Because of a curse or an ability, looking at you will physically hurt or kill them. Jack Frost: No one can see you and you'd do anything to change that. Now, at least, you can communicate with someone. Tall Tales: You've never been too fond of who you really are. Without them seeing you, you can be anything you want - at least in your "backstory." Taken with You: What a wonderful voice! What things they say to you! You'll do what you have to in order to keep them visiting you. Fine with What We Have: Their voice and their presence are enough. You don't have to see what they look like. You know the contents of their heart. Have to See You: There's nothing else for it. You have to see them, no matter what they say! Everything is a Lie: Some things just aren't adding up. You're going to call them out on their stories and demand the truth...and demand that they show themselves. Big Reveal: For good or for bad, you're showing them who you really are. CHOOSE YOUR OWN ...AND THE OBLIGATORY SMUT OPTIONS Invisible Touch: They don't have to see your face for you to make love to them. You can reach out and touch them in the best places possible. Dirty Talk: A few choice words are all you need for a little fun.

meme; with you at your lowest

[see_the_stars]

  

with you at your lowest a shipping meme

There are undoubtedly moments in our lives that define us, no matter how crystal clear or hazy or memories of those times are. In the case of hazy recollections, it's more likely than you'd think. How strange it its that one inconsequential, in the grand scheme of things, event can change the course you take...not always so seriously or dramatically, of course. You can't remember why you don't like soup; in actuality, you burned your tongue badly on chicken soup at one point, long ago. You'd forgotten, but your mind and body didn't. More weighty traumas that you've unknowingly pushed back can work in much the same way. You shy away from using scissors as you feel a shiver run down your spine, not necessarily as you remember blood gushing from toddler-sized fingers when you played with the big-kid scissors and cut yourself. Still, there is a connection and it keeps you "safe" through past experience. The consciousness is amazing in that way, constantly making associations that, for better or worse, shape how we view the world around us, though we may not always recall what brought us those views. In this meme, however, there's no way this particular association - a special person, being around them, and your happiness - can go unnoticed, and you know the exact cause. In fact, you can track down the exact moment: this person came to you when you were low, perhaps even at your lowest. Like some guardian angel, they showed you kindness, they turned your world right side up again, they gave you a helping hand, or they granted you your life when they could have taken it. Perhaps it was something as simple as not treating you like trash. At that particular time, what they did meant everything. Whether you see your response to this as a welling up of true love or merely you owing them a debt, what you feel towards them cannot be measured. Even if you're usually as warm as a giant block of ice with a black heart, you have feelings towards them you can't quite understand. If you're emotional at the best of times, you'll most likely be completely overcome. Whatever the case may be, what you know for certain is that you want to stay with this and feel that lightness in your heart. Depending on what other associations you've made and how you've figured the world works for you, this desire could lead to actions going smoothly or terribly, terribly wrong and creepy. ( how to play ) Comment with your character and preferences. You might also want to mention which "side of the equation" you'd like to play and what tone you're looking for in the thread. Any other info is good, too. Reply to others. RNG. ( prompts ) Known: They've been there for you just about forever. First Meeting: You just met them, but they've made such an impression on you that it doesn't matter. Rescue:The danger is closing in, until someone steps in and saves your hide. Your hero! Healing: Bruised, beaten, and injured, you can't take care of yourself, despite your attempts. You'd be left to rot if they didn't come along. Just a Bad Day: There was no huge tragedy. You just had an awful day, and a little distraction makes all the difference. Broken: Inside or outside, you're a mess. It seems as if there's no fixing you, but they're going to try. Unprecedented Kindness: Before, no one has ever been nice to you. No one. Their attention is a change of pace. The Way You Look: After seeing nothing but monsters or murder, a little beauty is to be appreciation. Tears: "Don't cry," they said, and you're surprised how much their wiping away your tears affected you. Grumpy: Putting up your walls and your defenses of cruelty didn't run them away. For some reason, this endears them to you even more. A Simple Smile: Sometimes, a smile is all it takes to bring a ray of light into the darkness. Gave Me Hope: You're jaded and they're not. Their optimism or even their continued existence perks up your spirit just a bit, enough to continue on. Shattered Heart: They're helping you get over a romantic betrayal, platonic at at first. But then... Mercy: They could have, and should have, ended your life. They made another call. Didn't Reject: Despite your appearance, your past, your lifestyle, or your personality...not being the prettiest, they don't turn you away like everyone else has. Defend: No matter if it's verbally or physically, they're standing up for you. Give Me a Purpose: Through a need to help them in return, protect them, or make their life better, you've found yourself a purpose you thought you'd never have. WILD CARD

meme; emotional barriers broken

[see_the_stars]

  Emotional Barriers Broken Meme

It could be your first time with them, your hundredth, or your first time with anyone. This is also the first time the flood gates of emotions have opened up, making your sexual encounter that much more intense. After all, when feelings get thrown into the mix, everything gets more raw...which is not a sexual connotation. Perhaps you've never felt this way before, or you could have been purposefully repressing anything that confused or infuriated you.

Of course, "feelings" don't have to be positive. These emotions can be anything from love to adoration to intimidation to hatred. And how they are shown will depend entirely on your personality, as well. Will there be a confession? Tender actions? Shock at your own behavior?

No matter what the situation may turn out to be, there's one sure thing: the walls will not be put back up easily. What you and your partner do from this point is your decision.
