meme; fake married trope

[see_the_stars]

  definitely 100% for real married meme

for all your fake-engaged & fake-married needs

Sometimes it's easy to tell your special someone how you feel. Sometimes it's convenient to show your eternal intention to be by their side forever. And sometimes you just need someone to take to reunions so you can pretend you have your shit together enough to have figured out the marriage thing you keep hearing so much about. Thankfully, you've found someone else to pretend with you.

And there's definitely a 100% chance no feelings will wind up being involved.

HOW TO PLAY

- Comment with your character; include preferences & other information you find necessary
- Reply to others who have also done the thing
- Use the below prompts & ideas either by picking yourself or using RNG
- Or just make up your own IT'S YOUR FAKE SPECIAL DAY YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT

PROMPTS

A. Fake Engaged

1) "Tell me more; tell me more!" - Someone asks ‘oh how did you meet?’ or ‘how did you fall in love’ and you told them the real story of how we actually met except also you said you love me what is even happening I don't.

2) "...oh. OH." - We’ve been dating forever, and when you caught the bouquet at our friend’s wedding I jokingly proposed but everyone thought we were serious what do?

3) "Happy birthday!" - Remember when we were in high school and we swore that if we were still single at 30 we’d marry each other. Want to just tell people that happened.

4) "Over it 110%" - My ex just invited me to their wedding and I need you to be my fake fiancee date so it doesn't look like I've spent the last few years failing to get over them.

5) "Also I never call." - It’s my younger siblings wedding and my mother won’t shut up about how I’m going to die alone quick put on a ring this is a good plan.

6) "I won't say it, oh no." - We’re only engaged to get our parents off our backs and you’re in love with somebody else so feel free to hook up with them idc I’m not jealous who does that even.

7) "My whole life is thunder." - You need a plus-one for your sibling’s wedding after so I’m going as a favor but there’s been a misunderstanding and now your whole family thinks we’re engaged.

8) "Welcome to the family!" - You broke off your engagement with your long-time partner who you were supposed to bring home to meet your family so now you need me to pretend to be them.

9) “We’re getting fake engaged for [insert reason here]” - Just go for it, okay.

B. Fake Married

1) "Tell me more; tell me more!" - The same as 1 above; why are people always asking married couples how they met so rude.

2) "Is this what happened in Budapest?" - We’re assigned to this mission in which we have to pretend to be a married couple, but spoiler alert I'm actually really in love with you ahahaha fuck.

3) "Totally according to plan" - This is an arranged marriage and we definitely started out hating each other but now I’ve been falling in love with you and I don’t think it’s mutual.

4) "Just get in the taxi" - Someone important’s dying wish is to see me get married and you’re an old family friend I ran into at the airport on my way to visit him so hey let’s pretend we're married.

5) "Shake the glitter off your clothes now" - We were both drunk when you proposed to me in Vegas and I accidentally posted about it across social media so now we’re hungover and trying to figure out this mess because everyone's assuming we went to a chapel together did we even?

6) “We’re getting fake married for [insert reason here]” - Just seriously, okay.

meme; more than partners

[see_the_stars]

MORE THAN PARTNERS

You two are a complimentary duo, a team that many would envy. One leads, the other follows. One offers support or intel or back up to the other, or perhaps even medical help for the other, the beserker or powerhouse. Whatever your cause may be - working for an organization, working for yourselves, adventuring, demon hunting, fighting giants, protecting humanity from rogue alchemists, or just living life in a situation that calls for a "partnership" - you work like a well-oiled machine.

But it's more than partnership. You look out for each other, watch each others' backs. No one will hurt your partner on your watch.

But it's more than that, too. More than anyone can ever know. You two care for one another nearly more than anyone else in the world (or perhaps more "nearly" involved), and you're partners in a different way as well...or, at least, you're dangerously skirting that line.

Even if that's a dangerous game, there's one thing for certain: you can't and won't let any affections and emotions get in the way of making sure they stay safe.

➳ Comment with your character's name and any preferences. You can also mention which "side" of the partnership you'd like to play, though that's optional.

meme; meeting for the first time

[see_the_stars]

  Meeting for the First Time (again?) Meme

 

The first time you meet someone is always special, always unique. A moment you can never capture again. A moment that colors all that comes after. But what if you could relive it? Maybe you've been friends, partners, enemies for ages. Maybe you've never met because you're from different times, worlds, realities. Or maybe your canon just never said a word about how you met and it's time to find out how it could have happened.

Standard rules apply:

• Comment with name, canon preferences
• Use the list below for prompts if you need assistance
• Reply, have fun, explore

Type:

1. Magic: Some mystical power (arcane, technological, etc) has zapped any memories you had of each other. When you look at each other, does something feel familiar, or are you total strangers?
2. Rewind: By some means, time had a bit of a hiccup and now you're back to the day you met. Is anything different?
3. By Request: One of you demanded a do-over, or maybe someone you know wanted you to fix it and used mysterious means to make it happen.
4. From A Dream: You just know in your heart you've seen them somewhere before, but maybe it wasn't while you were awake.
5. Another World: Dragged across dimensional barriers or across the vastness of space, just to bump into someone special.
6. We Never Knew: (for those with no canon story) Looking back on how it COULD have happened
7. We've Never Met: True first encounters, you've never met before. At least not in THIS reality.
8. Wildcard: Dealer's choice

Mood: 

1. Love at first sight: Sometimes you just look at someone and you feel that zing in your heart
2. Lust at first sight: And sometimes that zing is a tad bit lower
3. Hate at first sight: No zing, only irritation and seething animosity
4. Friends at first sight: You just know, without a doubt, that you want to do everything with this person, less of a zing more of a click
5. Suspicion at first sight: Who are they? What do they want? Can they be trusted? The only zing happening is closer to paranoia than anything.
6. Nothing at first sight: No spark, no zing, nothing. What could it mean?
7. Wildcard: Make your own zing

meme; in the strangest of places

[see_the_stars]

  In the Strangest of Places

It's no paradise you live in. Tensions are constantly high, danger may be just around the corner, and your well-executed plans more often than not fail. Whether it be a war-torn world, a time of political discord, or merely (merely?) the situation you find yourself in by being you, there's one thing not on your mind: love. That all changes once you see them, and your life is changed. As you get to know this person, survival or success seems to no longer be your only concern. Your world is molding, shifting, integrating them into your priorities. What will you do when you realize this? Accept it with gusto and hope to be with them forever? Distance yourself because you cannot be distracted?

meme; calming caretaker

[see_the_stars]

CALMING CARETAKER

Who in the world could hate kindness? Sweetness? Conscientiousness? All of us, on some level, like to be pampered and taken care of, from the most churlish to the most pleasant. Yes, even those grouchy grumps, or, of course, the cool-headed psychos -

Okay, maybe not all of us to the same degree.

Regardless of your disposition, somehow, you've gained a doting significant other. It seems like they find their greatest pleasure in taking care of and looking out for you. This may manifest in them simply trying to keep you entertained, happy, and healthy; it could also come in the form of them being a domestic doter, taking care of all your needs. Be it the former or the latter, there's an inherent adorableness that comes with their efforts and generosity, and in return, you have an urge to protect and care for them. They're just too precious for this world! Only, you know, there's a good chance you can a. ignore this, because you're emotionally stunted and full of wo/manpain, or b. repress it because you're a badass and would never.

Unless you've completely disregarded all that because they're just too much and you want to hold them forever.

So, how do you feel about all this? Do you wish they'd stop with this foolishness (not really)? Are you pushing them away? Are you embarrassed? Maybe you're absolutely taken with them! Just realize that you have it incredibly good.

HOW TO PLAY

• Comment with your character, preferences, their role, any info, etc.
• Reply to others.

ROLE

• Usual: This is how they always are. "Caring" is in their nature.
• Unexpected: They don't seem like the type...but with you, they are.
• Terrible at It: They're trying hard, yet it seems like they fail at trying to take care of you. Depending on who you are, though, that may just make them more endearing.
• Because You Like It: They heard you like those who are sweet and kind, so they're trying to change their ways.
• Not Together: Technically, you're not together romantically, but everyone knows the truth.
• The Doted Upon: What it says on the tin!

PROMPTS

• Feeding: Whether they cook for you or have moments where they feed you, literally, they take your nutrition seriously.
• Massage: Let them work out all those kinks.
• Clean You Up: Here, they've drawn a warm bath for you.
• Dress Your Wounds: If you're the kind of person who gets in battles, they'll see that you're all patched up.
• Singing: Or telling stories, or otherwise calming you down.
• Lap Rest: Sometimes, their lap is the best pillow.
• A Shoulder to Cry On: When you have troubles, they're always there to listen.
• The Calming Force: If you have moments of terror from past trauma, they're always willing to put themselves on the line to bring you back to reality, even if it puts them in danger.
• Soft Kisses: Their kisses feel so good, and they're never demanding.
• Head Pat: Sometimes, a simple gesture can mean the most.
• Grooming: They'll fix your hair - or at least play with it - and help you shave.
• Gifts: Homemade or expensive, they like to shower you in presents.
• Lovemaking: The obligatory smut option, where they're a generous lover.
• Protector: They look out for you, and while they don't seem that way, if you're threatened, they get like a bear protecting her cubs.
• Gentle Giant: They make you feel so small and delicate.
• Reverse: For once, you want to dote on and take care of them.
• Unwilling: It's a wonder they still try to care for you, because you're cruel to them and rebuff them at every turn, even if you really don't mean it.
• It's Okay to Cry: They never get upset because they don't want to put that on you. You want to let them know they can let it all out.
• WILDCARD

meme; secretly married

[see_the_stars]

  Secretly Married

Wedding invitations are expensive. Planning a ceremony is stressful, not to mention just plain overrated.

Why not get married quickly? You want to be together, don't you? Whether your union would be disapproved of, you have to get married before one of you leaves for a long time, there's another marriage, possibly involving one of you, you have to circumvent, you're drunk and it seems like a good idea, or you're just low-profile folks, you may find a shotgun secret wedding is right for you. It will certainly be a whirlwind of a night...and romantic, to boot!

Then, you two will be married, and no one will know. Mystery keeps a relationship fresh, you see (that, or it keeps it very difficult, but that's negativity talking!).

meme; both broken

[see_the_stars]

  

Both Broken

Healing doesn't come quickly, whether the need comes from physical or mental wounds. But you're trying regain your strength - and yourself. People, as a general rule, are kind, or at least not outright inflammatory to you, it seems. Still, you just can't connect with them. No matter how nice, how caring, they don't understand. They've never experienced anything like what you've gone through, or they're not like you in a way that lets them see what you still go through; they have no frame of reference. Sure, they have sympathy, but it's not the same. So there's no real connection, despite any friendliness. It's so easy, then, to feel detached... ...until you meet them, in this place of both death and healing. They may not have been through the exact same struggles, they may not be exactly the same as you, but they know what darkness is light. How they handle this fact may be better or worse than how you do, yet you can see yourself in their actions. And for once? There's connection; more than that, too. Slowly, you can feel yourself opening up towards them, and then, falling for them. Is this something your used to? Will you fight your feelings, or will you jump at the opportunity to be with someone who can begin to get you? You may have little choice in the matter, as your instincts may just reach out to be with whatever compatible contact you can get. That's better, in the long run, though. Who else could have wounds like yours? Essentially, it's what it says: a "romance," in the loose definition, or "shipping" meme for characters who have been through the wringer or have hangups. Reply with your character, preferences, and any info you want to include. Remember, the more information, the more taggable you are. Respond to others. Thread.

meme; all about them

[see_the_stars]

  

All About Them

To give is to receive, that's a cliche so old its rust has rusts. But bring it out one more time, slap new wheels, new paint on it - or forget the "to receive" part all together. Giving is more than fine on its own, at least in your eyes, at least right now...and especially when it comes to bedroom matters. You're in the most generous of moods at the moment, so you're going to lavish your partner/lover/one night stand with attention. Call it body worship if you'd like, or just going above and beyond. Do you feel so generous because you want to please this other person so badly? On the opposite end of the spectrum, you may simply want to have complete and utter control over them. Regardless of your reason, this tryst is all about them. Reply with your character, preferences, and any info you want to include. If you top level, your character will be the one determined to focus all on their partner, the ones who reply. In turn, you can reply to others. Smut it up.

meme; frustration fruition

[see_the_stars]

  

Frustration Fruition



Your sexual frustration levels are too damn high, no matter if you're a testy teenager with high hormones or a stoic saint with no usual taste for sin or anywhere in between. The source of your need can be just about anything: you've never met anyone of your age/gender preference before, you've wanted this particular person forever because of a colossal crush, you two have been together and you want to take things to the next level, there's been physical distance between, it's been a while since you've gotten any human contact of the sweeter kind...or you've never gotten any. Anyway, you're in a situation that's just too tempting -

Oh, forget resisting. You're not in the mood for that. And apparently, the mood they're in is open to you. Go ahead, what could hurt if you instigate (or let them instigate) and let off some steam?

meme; firsts

[see_the_stars]

  A Meme of FIRSTS!



You're in right smack in the middle of exciting times, perhaps even the peak of your life so far, and you're not alone. For you and your companion, it's all about firsts: first crush, first love, first fight, first confession, first kiss, first time, first adventure to certain death together - you know, as you do. There is a first time for everything, after all, and they say you never forget your first.

So...first?

WHAT DO?

• It's what it says on the tin.
• Your character can be at the right place and time for all these firsts, you can age them down, they're starting late, they never had the chance, it's an AU I DON'T EVEN CARE just play.
• Set up your top comment with your preferences, limits, info, and all that.
• Reply to other people.
• Prompts are amalgamations of many, many different memes.

1. First Kiss: Is there anything sweeter?


2. First Date: Are you super awkward and nervous or getting on like a house on fire?


3. First Meeting: Dropped your groceries? Bump into them on the subway? Party? Fender bender? The options are endless!


4. First Anniversary: You've made it an entire year without killing one another! Time to break open the bubbly.


5. First Pet: Dog or cat? Fish tank? Rhinoceros?


6. First House: Apartment in the city, or perfect white picket fenced home! Either way, better make the best of it.


7. What is this...Love Thing?: I don't understand love. What is love, baby don't hurt me ---


8. Love at First Sight...or, at least, Interest: Hey little mama, let me holla at you.


9. Gradual: Your interest in this person is growing after getting to know them.


10. Excitement and FREAKING OUT: Oh my gosh, there's absolutely nothing you'd rather do than spend time with this person you want everything to be perfect oh gosh oh gosh.


11. Hormonal: Girls are so weird but they look so nice.


12. Sloppy Makeouts: Put on "Stairway to Heaven" and go to town.


13. Arguments: You jerk! Look what you've done! I never want to see you again.


14. School Romance: Oh, I hope senpai notices me...or the cute class president, or the head of cooking club, or -


15. You're Like Family to Me: The two of you have been close forever, so you've never seen each other like that...until now.


16. Unlucky Friend: You lost the person of your dreams to someone else, perhaps because of their allure or perhaps because you never spoke up. What can you do now?


17. I'll Cheer You On: Always supportive, always by your side, they're the person you can count on. Why do they care so much, though?


18. Slap-Slap-Kiss: I could kill you for what you just did! I could - I could KISS YOU.


19. Confession in the Heat of the Moment: You're about to go defeat the ultimate baddie. How about confessing your feelings to the person you love? Seems legit.


20. Sudden Kiss: Kiss from nowhere! There are lots of reasons for this: to stop someone from crying, to make them be quiet, or just to explain yourself when words can't.

1. First Time: A little awkward, a little exciting, always memorable. ( Unless you had to get drunk to get up the nerve.)


2. Hey, Can We Try...: You've been together, or at least doing it, for awhile, but one of you wants to try something new.


3. Childhood Sweethearts: You've loved them what seems like forever, ever since you were little.


4. Wedding Night: Have fun, newlyweds! Maybe one of you cut off the sex a couple months ago, just for tonight to be extra special.


5. With Nature: In a forest or a field, how could you not be happy with the sun or moon shining down and the beauty of nature around you?


6. Waking Up: Fluffy, sleepy, giggly morning sex.


7. Protected/Safe: You always feel safe with them. How can you thank them?

meme; one kind act

[see_the_stars]

  One Kind Act

They showed you kindness, perhaps in a way you'd never seen before, perhaps in a way you can never repay. But you're trying; in exchange, you're offering your loyalty, for how much or how little that's worth. For them, you'd do anything: you'd fight, you'd protect, you'd be their right hand or their biggest advocate, if they needed it and you can offer it. As long as you get to stay by their side, it doesn't matter.

So, you certainly don't have to worry about your bond surpassing what you have now or becoming romantic, do you? That will just get in your way of being there for them. Since you've only got their best interest at heart, it won't bother you if someone else were to pursue them...

...right?

As long as you get to stay by their side. As long as you get to fight for them. As long as they need you.

meme; how to love

[see_the_stars]

  

How to Love

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 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; mates for life

[see_the_stars]

the MATES FOR LIFE meme The one conceit of this meme: humans (or human-expies, whatever beings they may be) mate for life. With this comes the typical trappings of "mating for life" - indescribable closeness, contentment around your "destined," and, of course, in your all-too-familiar worst case, jealousy and rage should the bond be threatened. Oh, and there's also the little caveat that, should your mate die, you die as well. But that's not too much to swallow, is it? The whole thing is only a small conceit, you know. HOW TO PLAY Comment with your character and preferences. Reply to others, using the RNG or not at your pleasure. Thread. PROMPTS romanticism | You approach the potential of mating with a dreamy hope. It will be just like a romance novel! distaste | Ugh, mating? You're going to put it off...or maybe even try not to do it at all. imprint | That's them. That's the one. You both know it, and you can't keep away. first | The first time you come together sets the bond in stone, not to mention sets the stage for the rest of your lives. share | Some mates are able to communicate and share their secrets through a mental link; others have to do it the old fashioned way and just speak up. calm | When one partner goes berserk, there's only one person in this world who can get them to settle down. comfort | Merely being in the presence of your mate can turn your stormy day around. heal | Scars, mental or physical, can be mended with the right love from a mate. need | Your body is going through actual physical withdrawal due to being away from your one and only. protect | Whether the threat be real or jealously perceived, you have to keep what's yours from harm. obsessed | You're beyond jealous. You've taken it too far mistake | Mating with them was not the right decision, but you can't take it back. cheat | Despite your being mated, you've chosen to break a sacred trust and go outside the home. death | There's not much will left to live in you after your mate has passed. Even if there was, it's not like you have much of a choice not to die. old mated couple | You've lasted a long time. This may be your "happy ending."
