(kink)shame your muse(s)!

It's simple, really. Think of the age old practice of dog shaming, but hornier, and with better results.

HOW TO PLAY

Post your character with a 'shameful' kink as the subject.
- Shame here is subjective. We don't really care what the kink is so long as they're being outed for it.
- But God bless them if they have a humiliation kink...
Those who respond can bully, shame, humiliate, make things worse... or they might offer to indulge?

Say I love you without saying I love you

Sometimes, just saying those three little words isn't enough. Sometimes... you just want to get a little creative with it.

R U L E S:

1. Tag your character info/prefs/etc.
2. Top levels can show how their character says I love you without saying it.
3. OR others tagging in will. State your preference!
4. Profit!!

little steps

No matter how much they care for the other person and want to be with them, some people simply can't dive head first into relationships. Little things that form intimacy and romance, little acts we take for granted - being close, holding hands, kissing, showing affection in public - they won't or can't do...at least not right off the bat. Something in their past, their experiences, their trauma, or even their personality holds them back. For both them and the person they're "dating," as it were, this can lead to a frustrating experience.

Still, steps can be taken towards letting the walls fall down. Little, tiny steps, but those can mean the world all the same.

The People
One With the help of a partner, one person warms up.
Two Both sides of this couple are learning how to be in a relationship and to be open.

The Actions
Talking → A relationship can't exist if there's not some communication, so either learn to use your words or become so close you can speak without them.
Spending Time → Even such mundane occurrences as watching TV or cooking together is new ground.
Touching → You might just find you enjoy reaching out and touching them.
Kissing → Another kind of touch, when you think about it.
Cuddling → ...at least they're warm and, hopefully, soft.
Sleeping → You're at your absolute weakest when you're asleep. It shows trust to doze off around this person.
Public Display → It's one thing to be in love in private, but showing you care in public is a different story.
Kind Words → Three little words (more or less) are all it takes. Why, then, are they so hard to get out?
Sex The ultimate stumbling block to some. To be laid blissfully bare is to truly let your guard down.

Mutual Healing Meme

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.

THE BODY HEAT MEME

Post with your character! They're now stuck in a very cold place of your choice. It can be anything, such as a freezing chamber, a cavern or a small cabin in the midst of a blizzard. The choice is up to you.

Comment around! Now your character has some company in this bone-chilling environment. The two of them share two things in common: clothes completely unfitting for this weather (be they summer clothes or even lingerie) and a blanket.

A blanket? Yes, just one warm blanket and no other ways to escape the cold. The two of them will have to share it in order to stay alive in this weather. Don't worry, you're sure to find a common language in this terrible situation!

So, uh, have fun, I suppose. Try to not freeze to death!

Protip: friction and body heat are both excellent ways to fend off cold.

Just a general to meme posters that reverse and regular versions of the same meme are considered to be the same, or extremely similar, and should follow the comm's cooldown rules. It's similar to how the texting picture prompt meme will take the place of the general picture prompt meme some weeks.

In the case of the Reverse shipping picture prompt meme and regular shipping picture prompt memes that went up over the last two days, please note that both memes are still up as there is some level of play at the time someone was able to look into the matter.

An aside for those who want to play reverse versions of prompt memes that don't get posted as often:

Players are always welcome to leave starters with prompts in their top comments, along with character info, preferences, or other relevant notes, even if that may not be specified in the meme itself. Whether that's as a secondary reply to a top comment, or something also in the body of the first comment, is up to you.

Thank you

mindless meme indulgenceWithin the halls of bakerstreet, the muses listen and they sure as hell judge. You don't need that. Ignore the callous eye of sophistication. Embrace dumb tropes that are as gooey as hot fudge. You deserve it. And this meme's chock to the brim with the comfort food-threading you crave.Leave a top level. You can do it. Easy goes.
Tag in, tag out.
Rot some cavities straight outta your mouth. Or your brain out of your head.

TABOO meme

Most societies have certain mores that are unspoken rules; humanity itself even has such conventions, grilled subconsciously into our minds for our own safety. Don't go out alone at night. Avoid getting wet when it's cold. Don't pick fights with those stronger than you...okay, some of us missed the boat on the last one, but the point still stands. Society's rules tend to be more variable, though they apply to most aspects of life - including sex. In fact, bending the rules on what's considered acceptable in romance and sexual encounters can lead to anything from ostracization to death, depending on the time and culture.

So, play it close to the chest if you're going to do a big, big, big t a b o o. Is it worth the risk?

How to Play

- Comment with your character and preferences. Be sure to include what you want and what you DON'T WANT. Blank comments are fine; info is even better!
- Reply to others.
- Be fun and respect others, as this will deal with some heavy topics and potentially triggering material s.

The (Reverse) Shipping/Smut Picture Prompt Meme

Because why not, it's been a minute since reverse smut came around. And why not make room for some sfw selections, if you're feeling it. This is just what the box says: the reverse picture meme combining shipping & smut/nsfw prompting.

POSTING?
1) Comment with a character.
2) Include a picture (or two or three) of a scenario, scene, position, location, etc. that you'd like to be a part of the RPing.
3) Make sure to list any preferences or explanations, to help people out.

REPLYING?
1) Find someone's image(s) that inspire you and reply to their comment!
2) Yeah, that's pretty much it!

THIS POST WILL BE IMAGE HEAVY AND NSFW.
