  Some Sweet Shipping

There's nothing wrong with wanting to play out some cute, fluffy interaction. So break out the butterflies in the stomach, the hand holding, the love confessions, the NOTICE ME SENPAIS, and all the adorableness you can stomach - no matter if if fits your character perfectly or not. It's all about characters getting comfortable with each other while being total goobers and showing love.

It's shameless, sure, but it's fun!

meme; love like the movies

[see_the_stars]

  The Love Like the Movies Meme

The fun thing about movies is that there are so many options, nearly something for everyone. Action, adventure, comedy, tragedy, whatever your taste, you'll probably find something at the cinema. One of the most popular genres, of course, is romance. But don't think it's just chick flicks: a lot of movies have love in them, and those relationships presented can be as varied as the films themselves.

In this meme, you'll get a chance to play out some of the scenarios made popular in films. Some are directly inspired by certain movies, others by common tropes. So grab your popcorn and your chocolate and getting ready for some lovin', Hollywood style!

HOW TO PLAY

- Comment with your character and preferences.
- Others will comment to you, rolling the RNG to determine the prompt.
- Comment to others doing the same.

1. Childhood Friends (Just Friends, etc): You were friends as kids, but you never noticed how much this person means to you until you're grown up. That, or they got really, really hot.

2. Beauty & the Beast (what do you think?): One of you has a charmed life and is beautiful, and the other is ugly- physically or otherwise- or has something else about them (a tragic past, a curse, etc) that society deems you as "broken" for.

3. Beauty & the Geek (The Breakfast Club, every John Hughes movie ever, etc): Maybe this is a high school AU, or maybe it's not. Whatever the case may be, one of you is hot, popular, and athletic, and the other is...not so much. Still, there's something here. Will both of you be willing to look outside your clique and bear the ridicule in order to be together?

4. The Tearjerker (Love Story, a ton of Nicholas Spark movies): The two of you are falling in love, and your relationship is perfect. Or it is until one of you finds out you're dying, whether it be of illness or other causes! Or maybe not dying, just leaving forever. Who knows, whatever the reason, the two of you won't be able to be together forever. What will you do? Break up to ease the pain, or continue on until the last moments?

5. I was Enchanted to Meet You/Fairy Tale Love (Enchanted, etc): Though it may be awkward at first, your relationship is straight out of a fairy tale! Sugary sweet with lots of slow realizations and cute scenarios; singing animals are optional. This kind of love (and the right princess, of course) can even make the most stoic of men melt. How does she know you love her?

6. It Was Just Sex (No Strings Attached, Zack & Miri Make a Porno, etc): You both agreed it was supposed to be just sex. Friends with benefits, that's it. Well, about that. One of you wants to be more than just friends. That won't mess things up, will it?

7. The Hookup Gone Wrong (Knocked Up, etc): You got somebody pregnant, they accidentally imprinted on you, you went through a mating-for-life ritual without noticing it, whatever you crazy kids do these days. Now you're stuck with someone, may as well learn to tolerate them. If you're lucky, tolerance can grow into fondness, and then...

8. As You Wish/The Princess and her Stable Boy (Princess Bride, etc): This person may be beneath you, but whatever the case, you've always taken them for granted. Will you see their love before it's too late...like something bad happening?


9. A Little Species Difference (Twilight, Underworld, etc): Love is love...even if you two don't have the luxury of being the same species. But who cares if you're a vamp and she's a human, or you're a demon and he's an angel? Okay, maybe the rest of your kind or society cares, and that may cause a few problems, but it all works out in the end, right?

10. For Richer or Poorer (Titanic, etc): The poor boy sees the rich girl and falls in love at first sight. Maybe this doesn't describe your relationship exactly, but there differences in your social classes. Will the people around you and their obsession with money drive you apart, or can you show them that blue collar and black tie can be as one?

11. This is Very Unprofessional (The Bodyguard, etc): For some reason, you're supposed to protect this person. For the benefit of this missions, it's better to keep emotions out of it- oops, you've fallen in love with your charge! Or perhaps, even worse, you've fallen in love with someone who should be your enemy or you were supposed to eliminate!

12. The Wedding Crasher (Romcoms, romcoms): The person you love is with someone else- maybe even about to take the plunge into marriage. But they should totally be with you, and you're about to show the world! Er, even if that means crashing their special day.

13. The Enemies turned Lovers (Romeo + Juliet, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, etc): Perhaps the oldest story in the book, people from warring factions overcoming hate to give into their love for each other. Need I say more?

14. I Want You to Want Me (10 Things I Hate About You, etc): Ahh, hate growing to love. A staple of teen movies and romantic comedies for many years. That's because it works! There's just something about the chemistry you feel with someone you can't stand changing into a desire to actually be close to this person. After all, they say there's a thin line between love and hate.

15. The Comedic Misunderstanding (The Proposal, every romcom ever, etc): Oh no! You just heard the guy you love call you ugly to his friend! You saw the girl of your dreams with another man! Surely this means you're doomed and hated and you'll be forever alone! Oooor maybe it was just a misunderstanding- NOPE. DOOMED AND HATED AND FOREVER ALONE.

16. This Isn't A Love Story (500 Days of Summer, etc): Not all love ends with happily ever after. Sometimes there are just plain endings- very, very messy ones with lots of hate. So whoo keeps the dog, the apartment, and the IKEA furniture, you mad hipsters exes? Well, deciding that's part of the fun!

17. Find Something Better (Yet another romance cliche): You've broken up with somebody and totally sworn off of relationships for good! Nope, nobody is going to make you love agai- darn it! That free spirit made you love again! Shoot. Well, you don't have to let the- damn it, you let them into your heart, didn't you?

18. It All Worked Out in the End (almost every movie): You've been through lots of disasters and trials, maybe even years worth of separation, so now you've earned your life as a happy couple. Enjoy it!

19. Love at First Sight (many a movie): The obligatory love at first sight, which seems to dominate a lot of movies. You see this person and you know they're the one! Now you just have to win them over.

20. Mistaken Identities (I'm pretty sure a Mary Kate and Ashley movie was like this): You've fallen in love with someone, but while they love you, it's not the real you they love. They think you're someone else because of a misunderstanding, your own designs, or something along those lines. Can you risk telling them the truth and get them to love you for you, or will you live a lie?

21. Good Girl/Bad Boy (Grease, etc): I got chiiiills, they're multiplyin'! One of you is a goody-goody (at least in some capacity), while the other is from the wrong side of the tracks (what tracks?). It's dangerous, but there's something thrilling about danger. Still, are you sure this isn't just summer lovin'? If you really care for this person, maybe you can make it work.

meme; one wrong attraction

[see_the_stars]

 

One Wrong Attraction

From the moment you first set eyes on them, you've been drawn - but this is no meet-cute. They are completely unavailable to you: they're sworn to a duty, already spoken for (by someone powerful or evil, no doubt), precious cargo, a caged bird kept away from prying eyes, a possession of a wicked creature. Whatever the case, they are off-limits. The problem is...they are struck by you, too. Will you fight your feelings, or will you free them so they can be with you? Either way, there's a high probability of it all going up in flames. HOW TO PLAY Comment with your character, preferences, role, and any other information to make you more taggable. Reply to others. RNG if desired. This meme is slightly inspired by this trope, but the setting can be anywhere and the genre anything. WHO Caged: You're the victim here, kept locked away. Taken: You're in a relationship - consensual or otherwise - so you should only have eyes for one. That's not exactly the case... Passerby: Here you are, minding your own business, when - who's that? Why are they there? Rescuer: Whether you're a knight in shining armor type or someone simply paid or commanded to do this job, you never thought you'd fall for the one you had to rescue. Conflict of Interest: You're a guard, but you can't very well do your duty if you want the person you're guarding let go. Unknowing Villain: You had no idea your allies were keeping someone and you don't agree with their methods. Enemies: They did wrong by you in the past; even they don't deserve this, though. Should Be Reviled: Your people and theirs have never gotten along. You should hate them, yet you don't. You want to save them. Who's the Monster?: They're being locked away because they're a monster. No one could be further from a beast in your eyes, however. Never Felt Before: Usually, you're stone cold, but their plight has gotten under your skin. In this Together: Both of you are prisoners, so you can't easily save them, can you? Not All Bad: They're been told that they're being protected. You want to show them the outside world isn't so bad. The Better Devil: To be honest, you're not much better than their captor. Still, you're something new. HOW Plot and Plan: You know busting them out won't be easy, so you'll put your mind to it. Sneak: It's an old-fashion escape with all the subtleties and espionage to get out undetected. Fight Anyone: Maybe you're more brawn than brains, or maybe you're just in a tight spot. Bargain: Their freedom for yours. Seems like a fair trade. Guilt: You can't really free them, can you? This fact tears you up inside. Give You Hope: You might not be able to get them out of here now, but you'll keep them looking towards the future. Keep You Happy: You'd do anything to see them smile again. Be Healthy: They're being mistreated or ill-fed. You can at least try to remedy that. Saved Themselves: They only needed an extra push. At the end, they pulled themself out of the pit. Selfish: No denying it, you freed them for selfish reasons. Selfless: What you want doesn't matter. Their safety and peace are paramount. Sacrifice: If need be, you'll put your life on the line. Used You: They didn't really love you. But they did know you'd be useful. Failure: Your attempt failed and now both of you are looking death in the eyes. I'll Steal You: They didn't want to leave their "home." You stole them away. Indebted Friends: So they weren't romantically attracted to you. They, however, did platonically bond with you. Finally "Together": You've wanted to touch them, hold them, kiss them, and be with them in every way possible, even if it's only for a moment. The smut option. Happy Endings: You're both safe, far from danger, and together.

meme; exploring each other

[see_the_stars]

  

exploring each other meme You've never had sex before. It's okay to admit it. Or maybe, if we're being generous, you've never had sex with this person before. Either way, you're in a similar position. You're just learning what this person likes. After all, no one person is the same, especially not in the bedroom. Anyone knows that and if you don't...well, you're not in for a good time. In any case, you love them or at least like them enough that you want to make them feel good. That's going to take a bit of testing the waters. What kind of touches do they like? How hard can you go? Of course, you may feel worried and awkward. You could hurt them, couldn't you, if you're much bigger than them? They seem so delicate. What if you bite? You could get too excited, and then they'd never, ever want to see you again. Or, worst of all, what if you...you know...too soon? Hopefully, things won't get too awkward. Comment with your character and preferences. Don't leave your comment completely blank! Mention what you'd like to focus on - character development, partners learning about themselves and the other, awkwardness, humor, adorableness, or a mix of all that plus smut. The sex won't be perfect. If you want to play your character younger, age downs and teenage AUs are perfectly fit for this meme. Reply to others.

meme; i knew i loved you before i met you

[see_the_stars]

  I KNEW I LOVED YOU BEFORE I MET YOU

Finally, you're going to meet the person you've been developing feelings for. Aren't you excited?

Wait. What?

Well, it may be silly to say that, but you really never have seen them before. The two of you have communicated - extensively, actually - through means other than face to face. Typing via the internet, a sole parchment, letters, smoke signals, telepathy, words spoken through a crack in a fence, whatever your poison, you've struck up a bond through it. Companionship, definitely. Friendship, certainly...and maybe even more. Now, whether through planning or through complete accident, you're teaming up in person.

So, are you ecstatic to be around them after only talking for so long? Ready to let your emotions out and confess how they've made you feel? Hoping this meeting doesn't come to pass and they don't realize who you are because you've been fudging some details about yourself? Maybe this whole friendship started on a farce, but how you've come to think of them is absolutely real.

What to do, what to do? You have to admit, things were so much easier before you met them, despite how much you've come to lo-like them.

meme; run away together

[see_the_stars]

  Run Away Together Shipping Meme

The two of you have decided to run away together. Bottom line, you've come up with that plan and you've worked up the guts and the means to do it. The most obvious source of a desire to leave together is a romance you can't have until you're gone from this place. It's like all the eloping that happened in those epics of old. How charmingly beautiful! How romantic! Who says the old ways have gone out of style?

But other reasoning behind the decision could be from the serious - you both want to escape imprisonment, an oppressive atmosphere, or a miserable destiny - to the more lighthearted. Maybe an adventure is just what you need, where you'll finally get to see the world...and, slowly, fall in love. Because that's what the crux of all this is: even if the escape started out as mere convenience, you both want to stay close and work together. In the end, when you've finally run where you want to be and the danger, if any, has passed, you may find you don't want to go your separate ways.

meme; from completely different worlds

[see_the_stars]

  From Completely Different Worlds

The two of you couldn't have, shouldn't have, crossed paths under any other circumstances. You're from two completely differing spheres: separated by class, by continent, by occupation, by age, by anything. You could both be from different worlds...literally! But distance means nothing now, because you've been tossed quite unceremoniously into each others' lives by some unusual event. Now, you must work together; soon, though, you realize you both have another common interest - each other. Fire-forged attraction is some of the strongest across all worlds, after all, and the sparks are flying.

Is it possible that the pair of you will realize your feelings for each other, or is the task at hand much more important? Will the ways in which you differ keep you apart, especially if one of you is a stranger in a strange land or time? Are you even really compatible? Sudden closeness and having to rely on someone can confuse feelings.

Most importantly, if you act on mutual desire, will you last as an item?

☆ Reply to others. Mix it up with unique character combinations or mash together canons on far opposite ends of the spectrum, like hard sci-fi and high fantasy. But really, just have fun.

meme; secret admirer

[see_the_stars]

  

SECRET ADMIRER meme

You're in love with them, but they don't know it and you have no real intention of changing this. Whether it's because you don't want to admit anything to yourself, can't handle rejection, don't think you're good enough, or have no real experience with this kind of thing, your lips are sealed...for now. And maybe forever, if you're contented to love them from afar.

That is, if the object of your affection doesn't figure you out first.

HOW TO PLAY

• Comment with your character, preferences, and whether they'd be the admirer or the admired.
• Reply to others.
• RNG it or not.

PROMPTS

1. Meeting: How do you meet? Is it love at first sight?
2. Falling: You learn to love them, even if you never have before.
3. From Afar: You're not too close to them - they may not know you at all - but you still admire them. Whether "afar" means something like a different school, a different team, or a different world or walk of life is up to you.
4. Notice Me: You actually do want to be noticed. Please, senpai!~
5. Right in Front of You: The two of you are friends or allies, yet you're hiding your emotions in plain sight.
6. Denial: You? Love? No! Especially not with them...no, you weren't looking at them!
7. Jealousy: They don't know you're attracted to them, so you shouldn't feel mad when they're getting attention from others.
8. Too Shy Shy: The words just won't come out. Besides, you're too flustered by their presence in general.
9. Don't Deserve Them: You wouldn't want to subject them to you, anyway. They're too good.
10. Favors: Your love may not be known; still, you can do things for them or get them gifts, and they'll wonder who's doing all this. Their happiness is all you want, not their recognition.
11. Bad at This: So, about all those gifts or favors? You're not the sort to know about kindness and because of this, your shows of affection tend to be you offing their rivals or giving them stolen items.
12. Adorkable: You're awkward but it's endearing!
13. Never Expect the Quiet Ones: You barely speak, much less show how you feel. How could they know what you really think?
14. Lash Out: It's frustrating to have a crush you can't act on, so you've decided to act out...towards the one you love, perhaps to push them away.
15. Admission: Finally, you've decided to admit what you've felt all along.
16. Outed: Someone else has told your secret.
17. Caught: Maybe you were caught looking at them too much, speaking about your love out loud, or leaving them a gift. No matter what, the jig is up.
18. Content with Secrecy: You can admire them without saying a word. You're not conflicted in the least with living this life!
19. Requited: No more harboring secrets, as your feelings are returned.
20. Unrequited: ....ouch. Just ouch.

meme; appearances don't matter

[see_the_stars]

 

Appearances Don't Matter

It all goes so well when people don't see you, so it's easier to hide away. And why wouldn't you want to keep away from the eyes of others? You're hideous to the world at large, despite your own opinions of yourself, no matter if you're human or otherwise. You don't appear to be anything most would want to be around, much less befriend. If you're human, your appearance could be chalked up to mutation, a freak chance at birth, or an an accident later in life; if you're not human, you just happen to exist in a place where those who look like you would never be accepted by the mainstream. Maybe it's not even your whole appearance, though. Your point of contention could be something like an injury or prosthetic that makes you feel not whole, though it may be insignificant in the view of the kind and open-minded. There's more comfort in covering that up and not letting anyone get close. In any case, you don't expect someone to love you, be attracted to you, or even want to be with you, especially a beautiful someone. Yet somehow, somebody does...or, at least, it seems that way. Will this new development last? Can you put your demons at bay long enough for it to do so? HOW TO PLAY Comment with your character, canon, preferences, and whether or not you want shipping only or smut. Also, information about what side your character fits into best is imperative! Reply to others. Use the RNG to determine your prompt or choose your own. PROMPTS Meeting | You've never seen anyone who doesn't balk at your appearance, but they don't. Growing Close | It starts as a friendship or an alliance, the grows to- more? Jealousy | There's no way they could see you as anything special. Surely, they have someone more handsome or beautiful in their sights. Realizing Feeling | At first, you didn't realize how your heart was feeling just by them being around, but now it's becoming clear: you're falling for them. Can't Tell Them | You'll ruin your bond with them should you tell them how you really feel. They'll be disgusted, so you'll keep mum. Touch | They touch you without a hint of distaste, which could be a big plus compared to what you usually deal with. No Difference | Actually, they can't tell that you're different, due to lack of vision or something similar. All they can discern is your personality. The Way It Used to Be | You didn't use to look this way, and it's hard to come to terms with your new look and how it affects Confession | You can't keep in your emotions anymore, or they accidentally get revealed. Good | They share your feelings! You never could have imagined this, but you couldn't ask for more. Bad | ...oh, you thought they...oh, they're so sorry. Scared | "Friendship" nor a "relationship" was never on their mind. In fact, they're scared of you. Cruel | All of their supposed kindness was actually just them using you for their benefit. To think, you really believed they cared about you! Defense | They step on the line for you, standing up to those who'd consider you a monster or somehow lesser. Uncovered | You're exposed and they can see everything you've tried to hide. You want to crawl into a hole and die. They want to keep you from feeling that way. Shouldn't Be | People oppose your relationship, and there may be some points to the arguments. Intimacy | Even being close, which most take for granted, could be a new and possibly uncomfortable event for you. Smut | The obligatory smut option, with all the baggage, angst, and difficulties that may come with it. Misunderstanding | You heard them insinuate that you're nothing but the ugly outside, or, at least, that's what you think came out. Bad End | The messy breakup option...or worse. Good End | The happy ending option...or better. WILDCARD

  ＰＡＳＳＥＮＧＥＲＳ

a sci-fi AU shipping meme

Honestly, it was quite the inevitability: with a population boom and diminishing resources, Earth has become so overpopulated that living comfortably has become impossible. This should be the end of the line...but humans are an industrious lot. As soon as space travel was possible, intrepid groups began to set out into the cosmos to find new suitable habitats among the stars. Of course, with discovery came the inevitable commercialism - companies use their luxurious, branded ships to shuttle average Joes across the sea of space so they can settle on equally luxurious, branded colonies promising answers to dreams and a chance at a new life. The price tag is steep, and one must be willing to be put in the necessary cryosleep (space travel is still a long, arduous journey, despite the fancy vessels), yet many are finding this voyage an attractive one.

And you, lucky you, have found yourself, through your own wealth, a valuable skill set, or virtually selling your soul, a passenger on one of these ships bound for a colony. Everything you'd ever hoped for will soon come true, in what will be for you a blink of an eye. In around one hundred years, you'll begin a new life when you wake up.

When you wake up, which is sooner than it should be. You wake, confused and disoriented, to realize there's been an accident. Your pod, one among thousands, has malfunctioned and you've been roused with ninety years still left on the itinerary. Ninety years for you to age. To get old, to die long before you reach your destination.

Ninety years to be alone.

Only you're not alone, it seems, as someone else has been ejected from their pod, as well. The two of you are complete strangers, left by the hands of fate to see no one living being but each other throughout several miles of twisted, cold steel and space locks. At the very least, however, you have years to get to know them.

...and, perhaps, more. After all, tragedy makes strange bedfellows and emotions may just run high when there's only one other person to turn to.

How to Play

• Basically, I wanted Angst Space Shipping: The Meme without using That Plot Twist from the movie. Sue me.
• Comment with your character, pref, info, etc.
• Tag others.
• There is no better meme than this for cross-canon tagging or crack shipping because it's two randos stuck on a space ship, come on.

Prompts

1. Waking Up: Not an ideal meet cute. More like a meet-throw up because you're both doomed.
2. Growing Closer: There are wonderful things to do together on this ship - pools, restraunts, movies, gyms, you name it - or you could simply learn about each other.
3. Moment of Truth: It may be the cabin fever, but you can't imagine feeling stronger for any person than you do for your companion. You have to tell them that you want to be with them - in a romantic sense, not just a "we share the same space ship" sense.
4. Life Together: You've fallen into a sort of domestic routine.
5. The Obligatory Smut Option
6. Trying Times: The shit has hit every fan in the vicinity; the ship itself might fall apart or hit an asteroid. Think fast and save yourselves!
7. Fight: You're in a tiff or you've broken up. This won't get awkward, will it?
8. Unhappy Ending: One of you dies before the other, leaving one alone.
9. Happy Ending: You may not have reached your destination, still - you did find a new home.

meme; significant other experience

[see_the_stars]

  

The ❝Significant Other Experience❞ Meme It's terrible to be so lonely, isn't it? There may be those of you who think you are just fine without someone to love, but you're truly not. Even if you have a significant other, they may not be played they could very well not be here in this massive multiverse with you - and that's just as good as being alone. No one deserves that feeling, not from the very kindness to the worst people in the world. There should be someone for everyone! This is easy enough to achieve. Just a change in a few lines of code, really... You wake up in a room in a place that could be described as your ideal, whatever that is. Modern, old-fashioned, futuristic, the setting is whichever you would be most comfortable with. Yet this new environment is not the most important feature here; instead, that honor goes to the fact that you are not alone. You are sharing this place, which seems familiar like a far-off dream, with another person. This person claims to be your significant other. But that can't be right, can it? Still, they want to love you, show affection, like they claim you two "always are." That's...nice. Suddenly, you feel less alone, even if you never knew you felt that way before. There's emotional weight, there's contentment, there are arms to hold you and make you feel wanted. Perhaps they're right. This is where you belong. After all, you're starting to remember, too, and everything is seeming more and more familiar. For just a little while, why not have some peace? How to Play Some happiness for characters before the end of the year. Or some existential crises. However you'd like to play it. Comment with your character, preferences, smut or no smut intentions, and any other information you'd like to include. Also, if you have a strong inclination to play the person waking up in the environment or the "significant other," clarify. Reply to others. Feel free to tweak the setting, the premise, or anything else. Pick any time during the scene or make up any ulterior motives there could be. Fluffy or sinister, take your pick! Just use this to whatever end you'd like. Have fun!
