meme; reverse beauty & the beast

[see_the_stars]

  REVERSE BEAUTY & THE BEAST MEME

Though it remains a beloved fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast itself has perhaps become a tired trope. Its inspiration is far-reaching and you can find stories based on it in many corners of the fictional world. Though these tales vary, one facet is almost always the same: the beastly character always falls in love with the beauty, and the beauty has to learn about the beast's innermost good qualities. And why not? Could the beauty ever fall for the beast on looks alone? They're a beast!

...but what if the beauty fell in love with the beast because of the way they looked? What if the beauty was the one who had to worry about if they were good enough, or if they weren't the right type? And, most importantly, what if the beauty didn't want the beast to ever change?

HOW TO PLAY

• Comment with your character, preferences (no smut, etc), whether they're beauty or beast, etc.
• Reply to others.
• RNG for prompts.

PROMPTS

1. Meeting: Whether the meeting is against your will, as it is in the traditional tales, or you go out of your way to meet the "beast," it is what it is.
2. Falling: Maybe you expected this. Maybe you didn't. But you're falling for a beast - and it's not all for what they have inside.
3. Swooning: They're so beautiful! How unique, and you've grown so tired of the same old, same old.
4. Who is the Beauty: What if you are hardly beautiful in their eyes? If they're a different species, they might have an entirely different standard, or they may just think you're too normal.
5. Not What They Like: The above, realized. Sorry, they just can't be attracted to someone like you. You're actually the beastie in their eyes.
6. Confession: They may not be used to having affection directed towards them, so this may be a new experience for both of you.
7. Fluff: Kissing, hugging, dates, taking them out, touching them, mending wounds, personal hygiene help, and all of that.
8. Smut: The obligatory smut option, and any problems, inconveniences, or drama or lack thereof that come with it.
9. Rejection: Actually, they could never love you like that, so you're in for a heart break.
10. Defense from the Mob: You'll stand up for your beloved beast, in contrast to them going berserk should outsiders disapprove.
11. ...I Liked You Better Before: Somehow, some way, the beastly half of the couple has changed and become more conventionally attractive, as is wont to happen in these sort of stories. Only problem? You aren't attracted to them now.

meme; foiled by love

[see_the_stars]

 the FOILED BY LOVE meme

I have protected you, fought for you, killed for you… I have loved you.

You know the story. There's information to be found, a weakness to be prodded, or a position of power to be gained through this person or group, and you're willing to play the long game. You'll infiltrate and make your own place, gaining trust and friendship and maybe more, if the plan calls for it. Then, when the time's right, you'll drop your mask, having gotten exactly what you needed.

Of course, things are wont to change on a dime, no matter how well you've plotted your exact actions. Feelings soften, sympathies widen, and you might just see a shift in your priorities. Uh oh. It's more than that. You're emotionally compromised. There's only one thing you want, and it isn't what you started off with. Perhaps there's a chance for you to seamlessly switch sides and act as if you were who you played at all along; however, it's a dangerous affair, and it's very likely you'll be discovered - and cast out for being the traitor you are.

meme; what it means to be human

[see_the_stars]

  

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HUMAN
a shipping meme

No matter how straightforward it may seem, the human emotion of "love," especially true, unconditional love, is complex and often hard to understand. All that forgiveness, all that dedication, all that light in the dark - how can one person have all that inside of them? You don't understand that, possibly because you're not a human. You're a calculating robot, an unfeeling, undead zombie, an alien with a completely different frame of reference, or an artificially created being told only to feel certain ways. If you are a human, however, that doesn't necessarily clue you in to all the secrets of affection. Cold, uncaring assassins, brutal warriors, ruthless womanizers and maneaters, or the just plain broken can often feel like robots among their own kind.

But you want that to change. You have a stirring in your chest for someone and you want to know what love is so you can make them happy. This is the first time you've ever wanted to do so and be so unselfish. Hopefully, they can be a good teacher and help you open up, getting you both closer...

...or you could end up with someone as inexperienced as you. Well, there is something to be said about learning together.

meme; loyal lovers

[see_the_stars]

  LOYAL LOVERS MEME

For most people, there is at the very least one person they'll always go to bat for. In your case, this person gets more. There isn't anything you wouldn't do for them. They're like family to you, only not. They're like a best friend, only more. They're your lover, your partner. It seems like you've been together forever, and you have no intentions of leaving their side. Why would you? Even if you don't believe in soul mates, you two work perfectly together, so effortlessly that it's not even a thought, through thick and thin. You're just...together.

Now, it's time for all of that to be put to the test. Whether it's being there for them, supporting them in a time of need, pulling them out of a darkness that threatening to envelop their psyche, or actually putting yourself in the line of danger - or, a task that's extremely less serious, such as just doing something you'd never do otherwise for them - you loyalty will be tested. And you will rise to the occasion without a second thought.

Won't you?

 ; only they can reach you

You're dangerous. In the end, it doesn't matter whether you're a constant flight risk ticking time bomb or someone who's a threat to society when the moon is full or the right magic spells or demon blood enchantment is given; anyone could unluckily wind up on your business end on one bad day. Isn't it better, then, for you to just stay away and build up walls so you never hurt someone else?

There is a someone else that can make all the difference, however. Somehow, they're the only person who can diffuse the bomb that is you. Maybe it's because of your shared history. Maybe they're just the only person you truly like. Whatever the case may be, there's no surprise that you've grown close to them...perhaps too close, though you may not realize depending on how aware of surroundings you are. Now, your emotions are all mixed up, and there could even be lo-

No. Don't focus on that. Instead, just don't question it and only rely on them to get you through spells that make you a danger to yourself and others. Whether they're keeping you at bay, you're having a calm moment with them or battling with the idea of your feelings be known, or otherwise, you should appreciate them, your emotional walls or instability notwithstanding.

meme; imperfect, slightly painful sex

[see_the_stars]

  imperfect, slightly painful sex.

Despite what movies or TV or RP will tell you, sex isn't perfect most of the time. This meme explores those times where it's painfully imperfect. But this is no fail sex meme, no real humor here. Awkwardness, maybe, yet the real subject here is when intercourse hurts: physically or emotionally. Whether the problem is past experience or trauma, size difference, incompatible species, powers, current feelings, other love interests, or a whole myriad of other issues, all can be explored here.

HOW TO PLAY
★ Comment with your character, preferences, preferred role, all that good stuff.
★ Reply to others.
★ RNG to get your prompts. Or not!

PROMPTS
★ Physical: The position or actual mechanics aren't doing anything for you.
★ Emotional: Sex is uncomfortable because of contact, connections, or intimacy.
★ Raw: Something terrible has happened in your past, leaving you too vulnerable to be comfortable with sex.
★ Not Ready: Whether it's mentally or physically - ie, you haven't had enough foreplay to get you turned on - you're not ready.
★ First Time: What it says on the tin.
★ As It Begins: Initial penetration can be uncomfortable.
★ Into It: They're too enthusiastic and not being mindful, perhaps due to inexperience.
★ Gift is My Curse: A power or ability of yours can hurt someone you're intimate with, though it may usually be a benefit.
★ Should Hate You: You two just had an argument and one of you doesn't have your heart in it.
★ Place and Time: Sometimes, the time and place really isn't right.
★ Size: Whether their body is too big to balance on top of you or...other things are bigger, you're suddenly feeling a bit small.
★ Wrong Configuration: You two are of different species, so you don't exactly fit in that way.
★ Too Rough: They're unawares, but they're not being gentle enough.
★ Powerful Impulse: Something in them is telling them to hurt you in some way.
★ Remind Me of...: Being with them makes you recall someone else, perhaps from long ago or maybe even someone you'd rather be with; understandably, this makes your heart hurt.
★ Always Afraid of Hurting You: You can tell they're holding back. You don't want them to.
★ Keep On: It doesn't matter if it hurts; your feelings for them mean you can soldier on, as long as you get to be with them.
★ Kind of Like It: Actually, the pain kind of turns you on.

meme; werewolf pack (au) romance

[see_the_stars]

  

☽✩ the werewolf pack (au) romance meme ✩☾ There are many supernatural beings that congregate in groups for survival or protection or just for companionship, not unlike humans. Witches have covens. Vampires have nests. But none of those have connections that can compare to the bond of a werewolf pack. You should know. You're part of one, either born a werewolf or turned. For humans, blood is thicker than water; for wolves, the pack is to the bone. Of course, with humans, romantic relationships can complicate closeness of other sorts. That's not the case with werewolf pairings, as they tend to grow out of natural pack dynamics and are viewed as just another facet of life. The only difference is that werewolves tend to treat relationships, even potential would-be-mates, with extreme seriousness. After all, you'll fight for your pack, so you'll fight for your mate, won't you? ✩ how to play ✩ ☾ Comment with your character, preference, and information! ☽ Reply to others. ☾ RNG. Also, please note that while the words "alpha" et al. are used, this isn't a meme for that AU. ✩ prompts ✩ ☽ Born: Your parents were werewolves. Any children you have will be wolves, too. ☾ The Turning Process: Like any transformation, the after effects of the bite are painful. Luckily ☽ With Who Turned You: You're romantically or sexually linked to your "creator," so to speak, probably because you have nowhere else to go. They seem to treasure you, though, no matter how much they hide it. ☾ Alphas: Both of you are top of the pack. ☽ Alpha and Beta: It's a classic case of the leader and the second in command: a perfect team up. ☾ Omegas: You two find solace in each other even when you're ☽ Closer Than Family: The romantic and platonic lines are blurred. You honestly can't ☾ Outside Threat: Your pack and your loved one is threatened. What won't you do? ☽ Reluctant: You don't want to be with anyone, but it's expected and they're the closest in the pack to you... ☾ All I've Ever Known: All you've ever known is the werewolf existence, the pack, and them. Of course you would never want to lose that. ☽ Can't be Together: You two should not be considering a potential pairing, either due to your status difference or because your alpha has proclaimed there will be no inter-pack mingling. ☾ Everyone Else Was Taken: You had no other option; everyone else was paired. ☽ Protector: Every pack has an instinctive protector or nurturer. You've lucked out and ended up with them. ☾ A Natural Closeness: It doesn't matter to you what you're defined as. You've always been close and you'll stay that way. ☽ Affection: Werewolves show their love in different ways that humans. Nuzzling and licking aren't considered odd at all. ☾ Fall into Step: The two of you have your pack positions and proclivities and they're the same in your relationship. ☽ Reverse: The submissive in the pack becomes a dominant in the relationship and vice versa. ☾ Two-Man Pack: The rest of your pack is gone, and you two have to stick it out. ☽ Rogue: You were once a lone wolf, but a special person brought you into the fold. Understandably, you're attached to them. ☾ Kin but Not: "Family" doesn't mean exactly the same thing in werewolf society as it does in human. There are fewer taboos between "siblings." ☽ Disciplined: You're a rule breaker, and your partner has to reel you in. ☾ Living Straight: Neither of you wants to hurt humans...yet there's always that urge. ☽ Bad Duo: Killing people and raising hell are your specialties. You're a real supernatural Bonnie and Clyde. ☾ Unrequited: Even werewolves can have feelings that aren't returned. However, it's an even more fragile scenario, given that you must still be pack after this. ☽ Got Your Back: Together, you hunt and fight. Always together. ☾ Love Outside the Pack: You've found love outside the pack, which is the ultimate sin. Everyone who isn't pack should be your enemy! The other person in this thread can be a human, vampire, etc. ☽ Life Mates: Wolves mate for life. Needless to say, this is not something you should go into lightly. ☾ Heat: The obligatory smut option. ☽ Fight for the One: Someone wants to challenge you for your mate. There's no question as to whether or not you'll fight for them - but will you kill? ☾ Leave: One of you wants to leave the pack. Will the other come along, or are ties too strong? ☽ A Brutal End: The life of a werewolf, especially those who let sentiment cloud their judgement, can be painfully brief. ☾ WILDCARD

meme; in sickness & in death

[see_the_stars]

  in sickness & in death

a sadder shipping meme
 

To you, this must seem like a wonderful dream, or at the very least, the closest someone like you can have to one. Your life has been going surprising well and, depending on your preferences, there has been an abundance of peace or adventure for you to enjoy. More importantly, however, is that you don't have to enjoy anything alone - you have someone. Whether or not you admit it to yourself or not, you're with them, and they make everything even better.

But it won't last. Not for you two.

The changes happen slowly, almost unnoticeable at first. Your partner seems a little less energetic than normal. Nothing too out of the ordinary, though. Then, they're more lethargic. They don't feel well. None of this goes away, however, and it only gets worse. Then, there's the realization: they're sick. So badly sick that it's very unlikely they'll be able to hold on.

Perhaps this should have been obvious, yet you just didn't want to see it.

The road ahead of both of you is not an easy one. The person you wanted to be with forever will, most likely, not be here too much longer. Of course, that's not even a speck compared to what they're going through themselves. There's no right answer as to where you should go from here; no one would be able to judge someone in this terrible situation. Will this limited time bring you even closer together? What will you spend it doing? Or will the understandable stress and emotional turmoil drive you apart?

meme; clothing share

[see_the_stars]

  

so you're wearing somebody else's clothes. 1. Stolen clothing. Look, that's clearly my sweater. Look at how much extra sleeve there is when you wear it, there's no way it's yours! So just give it back, alright? 2. Awkward mix-ups. So you were scrambling to leave in the morning and accidentally put on your partner's clothes instead of yours without noticing — but other people might notice what you've overlooked. Hopefully your partner's not the easily embarrassed type! 3. Winter is the time for sharing. You're sharing gloves, mittens, or a scarf with somebody else. Or maybe you've graciously given up your coat to somebody else. 4. Couples clothing. You and your partner are wearing matching outfits. It's probably sickeningly cute... unless you're both looking tragically unstylish. 5. Laundromat shenanigans. What? This basket doesn't have any of your stuff in it... oh shoot, you were drier 20, not drier 21, weren't you? Oops, better hope that the other person understands as you try to explain why you have all their stuff... 6. Boyfriend shirts. You just like wearing your partner's stuff because it's like wearing a reminder of them all day long — although you might not admit something that sappy to their face. Plus, this flannel shirt is so much comfier than a normal flannel somehow. 7. Provocation. There's pretty much no reason to be walking around in just your partner's underwear unless you're trying to get a reaction. 8. Roommates/partners doing the laundry. Are those your socks or mine? Wait, I think that shirt's mine, not yours... Maybe we should just give up on separating our laundry. 9. It's makeover time. You're doing them a favor, they clearly can't handle dressing themselves. Nothing in their closet will do, so you'll have to lend them your own clothes. Or maybe you're taking this opportunity to dress them in something more embarrassing? 10. So you lost this bet... and now you have to literally share a shirt. As in, both of you are wearing it at the same time. Don't forget to take a picture for proof! 11. Anything else! Let your imagination run wild.

  Take It Slow Smut Meme

There are plenty of memes about skipping to the good part, rushing to sex, being desperate for it, and so on. But what about taking things slow? Some people enjoy that, as well, and still others have need to keep their calm - they're inexperienced and not completely ready or they can't get knock-out, drag-down excited for reasons that can get a bit...dangerous. Or the slowness could be nothing serious; foreplay could just be the word of the day. Then, you'll want to enjoy your time together and not run through the motions of a good time 'till its spent too soon.

They say all good comes to those who wait, so savor every moment and wait for the inevitable to come.

  Moonlit Romance Meme

You know the moment in movies and reality at nighttime parties or outside of events, and you're having one of those moments for yourself now. The sun is down, the moon is out, you and the person you've been nursing feelings for are together under the stars. Bonfire, dancing. There could be hundreds of people here, such as at a festival or outdoor concert, or it could be an intimate affair. But none of that matters, because you two are only focused on each other. What more could you ask for? The cooler weather and the intimate atmosphere will bring you closer together, and fun at night like laying out under the stars or exploring the woods is always good to nurture a growing connection. In fact, this may be the perfect time to let out some secrets and create wonderful moments you'll remember together!

meme; protect

[see_the_stars]

  

♔ｐｒｏｔｅｃｔ♘

You're a someone on a dangerous quest, a hero in a not-so-easy spot, a royal, or maybe even the last of your kind who will bring about the Earth's redemption. Whatever the case may be, you're valuable, and you're in a position that may be a bit dicey if you attract the wrong kind of attention.

And you're the protector, the only person who can keep that erstwhile hero or heroine out of harm's way. Somehow, you've been roped into protecting this person, whether it be through your loyalty to them or someone close to you, a mission, or a promised reward. You'll be rewarded, of course. The work may be cut out for you, but just do your job, keep your head down, and it'll go smooth.

Except, as things get more perilous and truths are revealed, the two of you break the bounds of protector/protected or guide/guided and feelings may begin to flourish. Being in such close quarters may get you to see the other in a different light, and saving someone's life just may be the ultimate form of intimacy.

Could this be the real danger? To feel so strongly for the one you've sworn to protect...are you compromised?

»4. Some ideas: the beginnings of the relationship, just meeting, getting used to each other/not getting along at first, the obligatory first time, a threat on the protected's life and how their protector responds, how the feelings between the two has changed the protection, etc. Your only limit is you.

For most people, the lines between platonic and romantic are very clearly drawn. Not true for you two; friendship and romance intermingle in your relationship, and to be honest, it's hard to discern where one ends and the other begins. You're bosom buddies. There's a spark between you. You're lovers, too, maybe, or it could be completely innocent. You're love interests. You're intimate, you're close, you're ride or die. You don't understand why romantic and platonic can't coexist. You don't need labels.

PROMPTS

1. Since Forever: You've always been friends, ever since you were young, so this closeness is an outgrowth of that.


2. Natural Connection: Some people just click. You guys go together like peanut butter and jelly.


3. Love Everyone: At least one of you is the type to shower love and affection on everyone you meet.


4. No More Darkness: They drug you out of your not-so-pleasant path, so you cling to them.


5. Owe Them Everything: You owe them a solid. You're now more than simple friends.


6. No Big Deal: You don't understand romance as separated from friendship.


7. Cultural: Your culture doesn't discern so heavily between "lover" and "friend," a la troll society in Homestuck.

9. All My Secrets Away: They know everything about you and can be there if you need help.


10. The Most Important Person: They're not merely a special person to you, they're The Person.

12. Intimacy: More like Friends with Benefits.


13. Feel More Comfortable with You: So, you kinda want to try this whole sex thing. May as well do it with the one you trust implicitly.


14. No One Understands Me Like You Do: In general, not many get you. But this person does and it's such a relief.


15. Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood: Why do people keep thinking you're a couple? Okay, by some definitions, you are, but these guys are trying to limit you!


16. Assisted Romance: One of you has a crush on someone outside the duo. The other is supportive...and wants to give some tips.


17. Want to Be More: You want to actually be official and exclusive.


18. Jealousy: All the attention your - well, not partner - sort-of-significant-bff has been giving other people really raises your hackles.


19. Unspoken: You two don't have to speak or say anything about your status; you know what you are.


20. Say You Love Me: ...still, you wouldn't mind hearing the l-o-v-e word.


21. Realization: The person you want to be with forever, maybe even in a completely romantic context, is right in front of you.


22. Bros Before Hos: You won't pursue or engage with someone outside the twosome because it bothers your special someone.


23. Upgrade: You've decided to renegotiate the terms of your relationship.


24. Romantic/Platonic Life Partners: No matter what happens, you guys are content to continue on as you are, even to life partner levels.

meme; turn over a new leaf for you

[see_the_stars]

  

turn over a new leaf for you Here's the thing: in the past, you've not been a nice person. Whether you were just a little nasty, you did terrible things, you were forced to be a monster, or your heart was dark to the core, it's understandable why you weren't anyone's favorite. But those days are behind you. Now, there's someone you care for, someone you want to get closer to, someone you lov- Well, they make you want to be a better person. This desire could have been a gradual realization, or you could have suddenly decided one day to improve. In the same vein, you may want a complete overhaul, yet you could also be more realistic and try to work on one thing. Still, you know that you're the only one who can change yourself. How is that going? It can't be easy, as old habits die hard. Do you have a supportive loved one — or someone who wants nothing to do with you, no matter how much you improve? Comment with your character, preferences, and the role you'd like to take on in this meme: so, changing or changed for, if you'd prefer. Reply to others. Thread out what you agree upon.
