the afterlife meme

You're at the end. you've kicked the bucket. you've passed on. the point is you're dead. And however that end came out it's time for you to face the afterlife. Where will you go? Who will you meet? How old are you? What was your end like?

It's time to meet your end.


i. HEAVEN - Nirvana, Shangri La, Elysium, either way your good life has paid off and you are now paid off with eternal happiness.

1) PEACEFULLY. You died at peace, you've done all you can with your time and you came to your natural end. Now it's time to meet with those who left you behind.

2) A HERO. You died a hero. Celebrated by many. It's only fair that you get to rest.

3) TOO SOON. You died too soon, perhaps an innocent victim of some villain, or in an accident. However one thing is for certain, you shall rest peacefully here.

4) A VICTIM. A victim of a horrible circumstance, a painful death. Your end wasn't pleasant, but your afterlife will be. 

5) GUILT. You don't feel you deserve to be here. Not with all the suffering that's left behind, with your actions. Others should be here. Not you.

6) WILDCARD. Anything and everything else.


ii. HELL - Brimstone and fire. Tortured until the end of time. This is the "bad" place to end up. At least you may run into some interesting people.

1) A THE TOP. You died at the top, everyone suffering, the world at your feet. And yet look at where you are now.

2) JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS. You were just following orders. Doing what your superiors told you to do... and yet here you are.

3) DEFEATED. Unfortunately the "good guys" won, spoiling your plans. Everything you had hoped for was toppled over.

4) GUILT. Now is the best time to repent and reflect on the evil you have caused....

5) SURPRISE. No good deed goes unpunished. Perhaps what you thought was the right thing to do was really the wrong path. Maybe you had been misled. Whatever happened, you ended up here now.

6) WILDCARD. Anything and everything else.


iii. SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN - Perhaps your in purgatory.... or in the final crossroads before you and others who have passed on must part. However, you're somewhere in between...

1) FINAL GOODBYE. One last meeting between friends, enemies. Just passing spirits.

2) FIRST MEETING IN A WHILE. It's been long. Way too long.

3) I CAME TO FIND YOU. You have fought through heaven and hell to see this person. To try and find them.

4) VISITATION. Perhaps you were both allowed a visitation between two different realms

5) WILDCARD. Anything and everything else.


iv. WILDCARD - Anything and everything in between. Any scenario, afterlife, situation that you could possibly imagine. The skeleton war, perhaps.

meme; not just a weapon

[see_the_stars]

  NOT JUST A WEAPON

You don't have delusions of grandeur. You've never been more than a pawn, a tool to be used by others. A hammer to wield, worth only the power to destroy and not much else. That was the reality you knew, at least, until this person looked at you and you alone. Not your usefulness, only you. They were the first to treat you like you weren't below everyone, like you belong -

maybe by their side? Maybe that's a place where it's worth fighting to stay.

meme; making magic

[see_the_stars]

  

MAKING MAGIC MEME Magic is something intensely intimate. Whether it's something inherent in you from when you're born or something drawn out in rituals and summonings, it's full of depth and wonder and potential dangers. Maybe you're showing someone that doesn't have magic what you can do, maybe you're sharing magic with someone you love, winding things together. Maybe you're heading out with some friends to make a salt circle and bring someone back from the dead. The point is you're not in it alone. You're sharing in this intimacy whether it's new for you or old hat. Take care of yourselves and each other; hope that the person you know isn't prejudiced against magic. • Top level your character. Include any details you might think are relevant. Or don't. As always, we're not the cops. • Naturally you can AU your characters to have magic or AU them into other canons that have magic! Don't let a "mundane" setting deter you. • Reply to other people's top levels! • Have fun!

meme; victorian era au

[see_the_stars]

  

VICTORIAN ERA AU MEME Have you ever just felt like you were born in the wrong time? No? Good, because the past actually sucks. Anyway, it's still interesting to shove your characters into those time frames, so right now it's time for Victorian Era Shenanigans. You know you're intrigued.

SOCIAL STANDING • UPPER CLASS This is divided into three sections: royal class, which at the time was royal family and spiritual leaders. The middle upper class was for officers, baronets, and lower level lords. The lower upper class included your general rich asshole: wealthy families and large scale businesspeople that built their fortunes. • MIDDLE CLASS Middle class is in two subsections, higher and lower. The only differentiation here was between salaries and social standings. Higher middle class was more likely to be able to secure any kind of upward mobility. Lower middle class people usually worked under higher middle class. A mid-level merchant as opposed to the person working for them. • WORKING CLASS Working class were the hard laborers and tradespeople - the skilled class and the unskilled class. Think an undertaker as opposed to a gravedigger. • UNDER CLASS The lowest of the low in society's eyes, we have the poor: people who were destitute and relied on the charity of others, orphans; and prostitutes, who were under much debate at the time as far as decency went. Also, they were being murdered by Jack the Ripper, so you know, ymmv. GENRES • ROMANCE Did you know that Anne Brontë wrote what is considered the first sustained feminist novel in a Western society? Well, now you do. In this, take your main characters, watch them suffer for 300 pages, and eventually they'll realize they're meant for each other. It's all a bit gothic though, isn't it? Dreary, brooding. Sometimes awful things happen. But we've got love (sometimes) and marriage (more often) in the end. • HORROR Did you know that a vampire is haunting this small town? Werewolves the next town over? Ghosts in every manor? Did you hear about that scientist that went mad? What kind of place is this? Maybe that masqued ball isn't a good idea. • SCIENCE FICTION You've got a time machine, or you live in a steampunk dystopia set in Victorian times. Perhaps you have a flying machine that's quite advanced or you've traveled to the bottom of the sea or the center of the earth. • MYSTERY Do you want to be the greatest detective that ever lived? Or perhaps their sidekick. You're not as bumbling as people 200 years from now may try to say you are. Solve thefts, catch Jack the Ripper (good riddance), do whatever! Just put your brains to the test. • SLICE OF LIFE The simple things. Perhaps you're a lord throwing an expensive party. Perhaps you're showing off your charity by inviting the lower classes. Perhaps you're a merchant on a trade ship to another place. It's your daily life and you're living it. Just be yourself. • FANTASY Perhaps you want something lighter. You want to travel down the rabbit hole or through the looking glass or be a princess or live in a fairy tale meeting mystical creatures. As always, these are just suggestions and you can pick your scenario from your genre. Also, not all examples are Victorian era but we do what we want in these parts because the meme cops aren't going to get us (even though we're not them). Make up anything you want, as long as you're having fun! Make sure to post a short backstory in your top level comment so people know how to work with your AU!

meme; making up

[see_the_stars]

  

MAKING UP MEME

No, that doesn't say making out. It says making up. Now, if making up leads to making out then rad. But here's the gist: you've had a fight, an argument, a family feud that's gone on for decades, whatever. It's time to bury the hatchet. Make up, make amends, do whatever it takes. It doesn't matter what's on the line: family, friends, love, your job, an ice cream cone, the end of the world: you're going to fix things.

meme; near miss / close call

[see_the_stars]

  

NEAR MISS/CLOSE CALL MEME Ever been in a life-and-death situation? No? Maybe you will be now. Something is happening, something horrible, and you're about to die. Maybe someone you love is about to die. Or someone you hate. Maybe you're the danger itself. Either way, you (or your prey) get out by the skin of your (their) teeth. How close was it really? Is someone in deep shit? Alternatively, this can be used for something else: regular life situations. Miss someone at the dance you want to see, can't catch that criminal you need to put away, whatever. The world is your oyster! • Top level your character. Include any details you might think are relevant. Or don't. As always, we're not the cops. • Reply to other people's top levels! • Have fun!

meme; king or queen in their castle

[see_the_stars]

  ♕ King or Queen in Their Castle Meme ♔

You may or may not be the type who wants to lead or boss others around, but EVERYONE wants to be in charge once in a while - or at least have things go their way. Think of this, then consider your dream living situation. That ideal can be as varied as what "being in charge" means. Some would love to have nothing more than a simple life in a simple home with a warm meal a day, while others would prefer a castle with servants and a crown on their heads. Dream big, after all.

Now, imagine that, having your own way, and the cherry on top: a lover who will be at your beck and call. Not because you demand it, but just because they want to dote on you. That could be nice, couldn't it? They wouldn't be a total pushover, that's no fun, yet they'd know your whims nearly before you do and make sure. This includes all aspects of life, from making sure you're eating well to assuring that you're comfortable after a long day. Of course, their care includes sex as well. Lots and lots of sex; emotional fulfillment is important. It doesn't mean that they'd have your submissive. On the contrary, actually. Unless that's what you want. Or you could very well be theirs. They'd be here to cater to you, your kinks, and your tastes.

Don't just dream all this, be all this. You're going to be living it...at least for the moment.

• Comment with your character, preferences, and information. Do you want to be the one living this new life or the "partner" providing? If the former, feel free to include as much or as little detail as you'd prefer, from talking about ideal housing, home environment, food, sexy clothing, what have you or to just saying what kind of dynamic you're looking for with your character. If the latter, include what your character could bring to the metaphorical table.
