meme; the end

[see_the_stars]

  

the end meme   how are you spending your last days on earth? What if I told you that the world was gonna end? And you had 15 minutes to spend with me or your friends? Would you take the first bus over to my house? Or would you take the last plane over the West Coast? Mike Krol So, the world's ending and nobody knows about it. That's cool. It could be an impending nuclear meltdown, or aliens, or a meteor on a collision course with Earth. You know this is coming, but everyone else in the world is blissfully ignorant. And why would you want to ruin their peace? It's better to let them be happy. Besides, you can pack a lot of shit in a couple of days. Better get started. — comment with your character + prefs. — live out your last day(s). — optionally, thread out what happens next, if you want a neat apocalypse thread.

potential ways to spend your last day(s). Last Love. Romance but make it sad.  Apologies. You can't leave this world without making your amends. Time to call up everyone you know and tell them you're sorry for that bad thing you once did seven years ago. You remember that thing? Doomsayer. To hell with ignorant bliss. You're telling everyone just what the hell is going on here! Who cares if it starts mass chaos? Bucket List. There's a lot you've wanted to do and you've only got so much time to do it all. Starting with... Memories. You want to end things on a good note, so why not spend these last days making great memories? Or reminiscing with someone about old ones? Sad Sack. You know, crying in bed is also a valid option. This is a natural reaction. Please don't feel ashamed. Do you need some tissues? Doomsday Preppers. You're not sitting on your ass, no sir. When the end gets here, you want to be prepared. How many cases of water can fit in your basement? Let's find out.  Goodbyes. If you're not going to give out apologies, you can at least say your goodbyes to people. Making a phone call, turn up at their house unannounced, it doesn't matter. The world is ending! Denial. Yeah, no, everything's fine. This is great. It's probably all a hoax, after all. You're not letting this bother you one bit. In fact, you're opening up a spreadsheet and getting back to work. Panic. The most realistic response, if we're being honest. Sometimes, you need to lose your shit in a blind panic and you need others to calm you down. And that's okay. Squad Up. You're building your dream apocalypse team. Let's see, you need someone who's good with guns, a computer nerd, a getaway driver... Party Hard. Hello? Has Prince taught us nothing? If the world's going to end, you're sure as hell not seeing it all go down while sober. Best Day Ever. Your last day is going to rock. You're going to make it great, and buy all your favorite foods, and watch all your favorite movies, and it's going to be awesome. Lawless. Punch a cop! Kiss a grandma! Who cares! If the world is ending, there are no rules! Wildcard. You're doomed! Have fun! possible ends. Zombies. A dropped vial in Brazil can set off an outbreak in Texas. Aliens. They're taking over the planet, here to enslave humans or something. Or maybe they just want to be friends! Quick to judge much? Supernatural. Demons? There are demons now? Meteor. Maybe a big, strong, flying superhero could punch that thing back into outer space. Nuclear. War? War never changes. Biotech. Something about messing around with human lives never sat right with you. And look who was right all along! AI. Looking at you, ChatGPT. Toxins.  Something got into the air that wasn't supposed to. Spooky, scary mutations imminent.  The Unknown. Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Have we forgotten Bird Box already? Don't look. Or maybe it's the other way around? Blink and it gets you. Nature. The trees are fighting back. Biblical. Oh, ye of little faith... Horrific. Something creepy, and twisted, and wrong. Something out of a horror novel. Wildcard. However it ends, it's not going to be great.

meme; let's get inked

[see_the_stars]

  

let's get inked a meme for seeing your character with some added decorations   On average, one-third of the population has a tattoo, with one out of every four people having more than one tattoo. Once upon a time, this may have seemed aggressive or 'thuggish,' but nowadays, tattoos are a staple in most cultures. Tattoo shops can be found in cities across the globe, and the idea of body modifications becomes normalized by the day. Time for your characters to hop on the bandwagon. How to Play Leave a top-level comment with which role you'd like for your character, and maybe a few ideas to get the ball rolling. Reply to others and decide on a scenario to start. Make magic happen! Feel free to mix it up. Two tattoo artists grabbing coffee? Two best friends getting tattoos for the first time? An AU where tattoos mean something? We're here for all of it! And show us the tattoos! We want to see the art! getting a tattoo... first time - We all have to start somewhere. With any luck, your artist will be cool, kind, and totally reassuring throughout the whole process. tattoo therapy - Things are pretty weird right now, so a tattoo feels like a logical solution. It's more permanent than other coping mechanism, but it also looks a lot cooler. cursed!au - This tattoo isn't normal. It's dark, and it's bad, and it grows. Hopefully an artist might have some idea what to do about this, but don't hold you breath. killing time - It may surprise you to know that tattoos take a while, especially the big ones. It's not out of the ordinary to make small-talk with your artist. Or... big talk. something specific - You know exactly what you want done; you've got it all planned out. Now, you just need an artist to translate your words into art. bad reaction - The pain, or the anxiety, or the sight of a needle is leaving you in a bad way. Did you pass out? There's always someone who passes out. wholesome!au - Contrasting your artist, maybe you have a much softer career, like a florist, or a barista. Who'd have thought the sweet, local music teacher is secretly decked out in tattoos? under the influence - Most places won't work on someone who's clearly drunk, or high, or otherwise not in their right state of mind, but maybe this place is shadier than the rest. or bring your own - Your body, your canvas. giving a tattoo... the apprentice - Fresh-faced with a sketchbook full of doodles, you've been waiting your whole life for a chance to ink someone up. Let's hope it goes well! the master - This is your shop, with your name on the wall. People come from far and wide for a chance to get one of your world renown tattoos. magic!au - Your tattoos have a little bit more spice to them. Maybe it's something in the ink, or maybe this is an ability coming from you alone. Tattoos you give have power! dealer's choice - They've got no clue what they want, so it's time to come up with an idea together. If they really trust you, they might even leave this piece solely in your hands. basement shop - Not exactly above board, but people in your community know about this hobby of yours. You've got friends who stop by. Maybe, one day, you'll make a lucrative business out of this. amazon tattoo gun - Did you know you can buy your very own tattoo gun online? It's true! Seems like the thing that should have more checks and balances in place... oh, well. It's here now, so time to get doodling. burned out - You've been doing tattoos for so long, the love has died away. Maybe you need a new, lush canvas to spark some creativity. pierced - Not exactly a tattoo, but while they're here, why not add that belly button ring they've been dreaming of? ink your own adventure - Go wild.

ᴄʜᴏᴏsᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴍᴇᴍᴏʀʏ

A. Warm Fuzzies - Fond memories of happy times. May or may not be bittersweet.
B. How Shameful - Embarrassing memories. Whoops! Hope no one ever finds out about this one...
C. Are We The Bad Guys? - Highly incriminating memories. Everyone makes mistakes, but yours might just be unforgivable.

ᴄʜᴏᴏsᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴍᴇᴛʜᴏᴅ

1. Magic Mirror - Standing in front of the magic mirror, scenes of your past begin to play out right before your eyes! Do you try shattering it to make them stop? How are you going to explain what's being shown to the person next to you?
2. Sweet Dreams - It seems you've fallen into someone else's dream tonight, while they're taking a stroll down memory lane. Will you intervene to alter "history"? Or just watch as things play out?
3. A Picture's Worth - You've stumbled across a photo album containing photos of their past. Are they embarrassing childhood photos, or maybe something more? Or perhaps they're photos neither of you even knew existed.
4. Someone Else's Shoes - Not only are you seeing someone's past, you're living it! Have you taken the place of a bystander or acquaintance in a distant memory, or are you simply seeing through their eyes? Either way, time marches on, and you'll just have to watch as things play out.
5. Mutual Awareness - Be it through a magic spell or some other means, both of you have suddenly become aware of some secret from the other person's past. What will you do with this information?
6. Dear Diary - You found someone else's diary and just couldn't resist taking a look. But will you regret what you've found? Or maybe someone found yours, and now they know all your secrets.
7. Somebody Once Told Me - You've heard about someone's past through the grapevine, and now it's time to confront them over it! Or maybe you know someone else has been filled in, and you want to clear the air first.
8. Flashback Attack - Something happened that reminded you of your past, and for whatever reason, you feel compelled to share. Is it something serious? Or did that cloud just remind you of the time you fell on your ass at Disneyland?
9. Truth Serum - The literal kind, or just some social lubricant in the form of alcohol. Either way, you've taken something that's making you feel the need to open up about yourself, and maybe share something no one else knows about.
10. Wildcard - Have some other idea in mind, or want to combine any of the above? Pick this option!
