We're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.

Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.

♥The BAD Pickup Line Meme♥







1- No blank top levels! Your character has gotten the sudden urge to use the worst pickup line.

2- Others tag in and see where things go from there!



Bonus Points for hitting on someone completely random, someone you've
never tagged before or someone way out of your character's normal
preferences or comfort zone!

SKREEEEEAWWWWW

Kaiju Outbreak!
Time: Day, Location: The City! Or the outskirts of the city, which, depending on the scenario chosen, may be heavily damaged, completely destroyed, or only slightly smashed up. However it is not by nuclear or bio weapons, disease or even war -- technically. No, instead it's because it's currently in the path of -- in most cases -- vicious, mostly sentient kaiju, who are more concerned with beating their opponent and declaring themselves victor supreme than worrying about squishy two leggers running around. Of course in other, rarer cases it could simply be because the city is small and they are way too big and clumsy. The threat level of these kaiju range from Godzilla verses Mothra to Clifford the Big Red Dog. Who technically may or may not be a kaiju but for this case he is.
HOW TO PLAY
Tag in with a top level - I can't police blank ones, but gently suggest at least noting which scenario you're interested in
Tag around to others! Make friends! Make enemies!
Feel free to make use of the prompt ideas provided, mix and match them or make your own!
HOW TO PLAY PROMPTS
A-1
The Stealthy, Survior's Route Time to roll a 20 on your stealth and survival skills here, because you're running low on supplies - both first aid and food. There's a whole city out there though, so you might be lucky enough to find something that'll help you last throughout this latest disaster. Keep out of sight of the kaiju and you might live through this one!
A-2
Run for your life! Ohshit Oshit Oshit one of the kaiju saw you and is currently hunting you. You're barely a mouthful, but it doesn't care - find somewhere to hide, quick!!
A-3
Take 'em Down! Pah, This Kaiju is nothing! You can take him! You have a giant robot/super powers/GOD on your side! He/she/it has been stomping around your territory for too long - get out there and show him who's boss and save someone while you're at it!
B-1
Nope Nope Nope! Get the fuck out of dodge so you don't become a statistic; Or you can just say "fuck it, I don't get paid enough for this" and go to the movies!
B-2
The Greedy, er, Opportunistic Option! Wait it out somewhere safe and recover whatever got knocked over/uprooted/washed away to return it to their original owner or sell it for money honey!
B-3
Someone needs a hero! Help evacuation! Mind falling buildings, shockwaves from the impact of the falling kaiju and in the beach scenarios, try not to drown; Rescue anyone in need, whether someone's pinned under debris, trapped somewhere, etc.
C-1
Let's at least TRY to fix things M..maybe try to get the A.O.U.S (Animals of Unusual Size) back to normal size, either with magic or by brewing up an antidote. And for the love of cheese let's not make it WORSE. (Or do, could be fun!)
C-2
But do we Let Sleeping Cats lie? Trying to get to work/get home/do errands? Well now you have the additional issue of cats using cars as toys or lying in the middle of the crosswalk, birds thinking the cars are bugs, and dogs just derping around. How's your defensive driving?
C-3
They DO move in herds! Screw it, we're opening Jurassic Bark as a petting zoo. Go ride a dog! Snooze on a cat! Parachute from a Parakeet!

Sleep won’t come easier

the i n s o m n i a meme

It happens to everyone - sometimes, you have nights where you just can't fall asleep, no matter what you do. It could be for a number of reasons, or no reason at all. And this is what's happened now: you've been laying in bed for what feels like hours, just tossing and turning, and nothing seems to help. So what's left to do? Get out of bed and go wake someone else up, of course. If you're not getting any sleep, then why should they?


i n s t r u c t i o n s

Post with your character (note the name and fandom in the subject).
Other people reply to you by generating a number from 1 to 10.
• Have fun!


o p t i o n s

01 • FEAR. Maybe you're hearing strange, indeterminable noises; maybe there's a severe storm happening outside; maybe you watched a scary movie before bed? Whatever the reason, you're terrified and it's keeping you awake. You just want to wake someone else up so they can protect you from the monster in your closet.
02 • HUNGER. Your stomach is growling and it just won't stop. Or perhaps your throat is so dry you could cough up a tumbleweed? Well, you've gone to the kitchen to remedy this and hey, that was a pan that just dropped on the floor. It was loud enough to wake the dead! Oops.
03 • PAIN. Your body is completely worn out, be it from exercise, battle, sickness, or what have you. Either way you're in enough pain to keep you from sleeping, so maybe someone else has a home remedy or something, or can at least help you take your mind off of it.
04 • SOLITUDE. For some reason, your bed just feels so empty at the moment. You're feeling terribly lonely and really just want someone to keep you company for a while. Maybe it'd be easier to fall asleep if you're with them...
05 • DISCOMFORT. Your room is an oven. Either that or a freezer. Or maybe this bed is just really uncomfortable? Who knows why you can't get to sleep, it feels like it could be anything. Why even bother trying? Maybe someone else can preoccupy you until you feel tired enough to ignore your discomfort.
06 • PENSIVE. Something's on your mind, and no matter how hard you try to focus elsewhere, it's just not going to work. Your body may be tired, but your mind is incredibly busy and it's virtually impossible to get to sleep. Surely, talking it out with someone else will help?
07 • SADNESS. Something terrible has happened that day, perhaps; or you could just be severely depressed. Either way you're trying your hardest not to cry yourself to sleep, and it's not working at all. Better find a way to get it out of your system somehow; you need a shoulder to cry on.
08 • ANGER. You are just... fuming. Who knows why - that annoying dog is barking again, or maybe the people next door are getting busy and keeping you awake. Whatever the reason for your ire is, you'd better put an end to it so you can get some damn rest already! Go wake up a friend so you can complain to them.
09 • RESTLESS. You're far too energetic to sleep right now. Maybe you're just trying to do so out of necessity - you have to be up early tomorrow! But you just don't think you'll be able to fall asleep for a while now, so why waste the time trying to sleep when you could be doing something else? Namely bothering someone else - you're totally jealous because they're getting more sleep than you.
10 • WILDCARD. Choose one of the options above, or make up your own scenario.

That's a big but

i love you, but...

1. Post your character's own riff on the sentence "I love you, but..." in the subject line. What's their hangup?

2. Tags come in the form of folks replying as if they're being confessed to! What will they argue in return?

3. Thread!.

GREEN FLAGS meme


It's not all doom and gloom all the time. Don't beat yourself up! You are a total catch.

how to play
- forget what you think you know about memes.
- forget the traditional subject line. no prefs. no character info.
- verbalize the green flag(s) that would make your character the perfect partner.

the rain meme



Ah, rain—the precipitation that the whole world has a love/hate affair with. It waters the garden for free and ruins baseball games. It cools you off in the summer and it causes more ice and sleet to appear in the winter. Sometimes it is lovely and falls at a decent pace for a few hours, other times, it blasts the whole eastern seaboard away.

Poems and songs have been written about it, people have danced in it, others have cursed its entire existence, and still more refuse to go out and drive in it.

Now it’s time to roll some dice and see what the weather will have in store for you today.


 

 
directions

1. Comment with your character, series, preferences, etc in the subject.
2. Roll a number between 1-5 with the RNG for an intensity.
3. Roll 1-15 with the RNG for a situation.
4. Reply to other comments and play the scenario out!
5. Don’t catch a cold!

What if we kissed on the race car bed

Jun. 29th, 2025 04:27 pm
[personal profile] marajaded posting in [community profile] bakerstreet

kissing. that's it, that's the meme.

ONE: comment with your character and preferences.
TWO: you're kissing.
THREE: reply to others.
FOUR: no, seriously, they're kissing.
FIVE: whether there's backstory behind it, whether this has been building-building-BUILDING up or you've just met or you've been cursed by the universal, non-season specific hanging festive object of your choice and you can't escape until you smooch OR you literally just tripped into somebody's lips, if doesn't matter. btw it doesn't have to be on the mouth. live your best creative life.
SIX: it's a thing. it's happening. so you probably better let the people in the back know if you want assumed CR, gentle kisses on the forehead only, if you prefer gen/platonic kisses for the kids, crack threads, frenching, one-sided or misunderstood intentions and mistaken identities, whatevs.
SEVEN: kissin'. kiss kiss fall in love motherf-

STARGAZING - whether you're on a picnic blanket in a field, laying on the beach, or in the bed of a truck, you're with someone you care about and you're looking at the stars.

CAMPFIRE - 
camping is the most fun when you're with someone else. roasting marshmallows, telling stories. nature's got it goin' on.

PARKING -
 you're at the lover's lane, parked at the peak overlooking the city, it's just you and someone else in the car. maybe it's time to steam up the glass or hey, you guys can just talk if you want.

FIREWORKS -
 may it is the fourth of july, the new year, or just because, but there's fireworks shooting off and they're magical. or scary. it depends on what floats your boat.

LATE NIGHT SWIM - 
maybe you're at the beach or in the backyard pool or at the lake, maybe you're going to skinny dip or maybe you'll 'fall' in with all your clothes. either way, swimming at night is pretty much always fun.

SKY LANTERNS -
 perhaps you've lost someone dear and you want to do something to remember them by, maybe you're making a wish for the future.

Maybe you can't find a date. Maybe you don't want to find a date. Maybe this whole thing was set up by your well-meaning friends, or your prank-playing enemies, or your over-involved mother.

Whatever the reason, you're on a swipe-based dating system. Call it tinder, cuddlr, e-harmony but for shallow assholes... you're on it.

What's the worst that could happen?

Darkness

[personal profile] sarabi posting in [community profile] bakerstreet
Darkness Loves Light
No matter how the darkness looms around you - how much you've become the darkness - there's one bright spot in your life - a person who makes everything worthwhile.

It doesn't really matter how they came to you. What does is that they stay. Whether you admit it or not, you seek comfort from them...and, perhaps, them from you, if you're in the same situation.

So, whether you push them away, treat them right, or go so far as to worship them and put them on a pedestal, you don't want them to go now. You crave being with them, or at least being in their presence. Don't ruin this for yourself. After all, what would you do without your little ray of light? You'll do anything to keep them happy and loved. Anything.

  • Respond to the meme with your character, canon, preferences, and, if you'd like, what position you're character will be in.
  • Respond to others.


  • prompts

  • light || the pure is affecting the impure in a positive way.

  • dark || the impure is affecting the pure in a negative way.

  • purposeful || you want to corrupt something so pure.

  • forgive || they know what you've done and they've forgiven you.

  • death || something comes up from the dark past and strikes out at the one loved the most. they know it would hurt you to see them in pain - or worse.

  • life || the smut option. will there be hesitance in "defiling" purity?

  • cheer || never again did you think that there would be simple joys. picnics, birthdays, gentle holding of hands.

  • confessions || you have to get them into your life; they're the only good thing you can see.

  • teach || one party is teaching the other about more worldly pursuits, may or may not be sexual. perhaps they feel guilty for this, perhaps they don't.

  • end || you can't do this to them anymore. they deserve so much better than you.
