AUTUMN AFTER
DARK ✦
The day emptied out while you weren’t paying attention. Now the shops are closing, porch lights are coming on, and every gust sends another scrape of leaves across the pavement.

It’s colder than it was an hour ago. The air smells like woodsmoke somewhere nearby. You had some reason for being out tonight, and now you’re still here after most people have gone inside.

Somebody else is, too.
HOW TO PLAY
✦ Leave a comment with your character and info.
✦ Tag around.
✦ Pick a prompt, roll, combine a few, or ignore them entirely.

HOLD
ONTO
ME

Sometimes, the need to stay close outweighs any notion of personal space. A single hand can be enough, a lifeline in the chaos. Or maybe it takes more: an arm wrapped tight around a waist, fingers tangled in a sleeve, both hands gripping as if letting go would mean losing everything.

Whatever comes next, letting go is unthinkable.

Hold on tight.
HOW TO PLAY
  • Comment with your character and preferences.
  • Tag around and pick or roll 1–16.
  • Dig your fingernails in and thread.

TEXTING MEME

You’ve got your TFLN, you’ve got your sexting, now here’s the meme for all those gen texts, phone calls, voicemails, pictures of your cats, and whatever else your little heart can come up with, because who doesn't like a little old fashioned friendly texting. (Or enemy texting, if that's more your bag.)

instructions: What it says on the tin! Leave a comment with your character, include preferences, a start, absolutely nothing or whatever you want. Run around and reply to others. Lather, rinse, repeat.

They say a picture's worth a thousand words, but what about a cadre of kisses?

Pick an emoji and put somebody on starter duty. Sweet, stupid, badly timed, long overdue; whatever you ask for, somewhere in that starter, somebody has to kiss somebody.
RULES → comment with your character + prefs.

→ others send you an emoji to request a specific starter from you, with one condition: somewhere in there, there has to be a kiss.

→ tag around. collect starters. inflict starters. you know how this works.

→ prompts are loose. bend them around the characters rather than the other way around.

THE ❝FIRST TIME❞ MEME

RULES! 
♥ Leave a comment with your character's name and fandom.
♥ When replying, RNG for a number between 1 and 7. The number you get corresponds with the kind of "first time" sex you're having
♥ Go from there! The sky's the limit.
THE LIST! 
01] Romantic | You waited and waited and waited for the right moment to take this final step with your partner, and it really paid off; neither of you can imagine this night (or day!) to be any better than it is right now. 

02] The Only Time | You know somewhere in your heart that you won't be getting a second chance for this. The relationship is forbidden, or they're moving away, or you're moving away, or something is tearing this relationship apart, and that may be the last thing you want.

03] Set-Up | ... Oh. Well. Someone nudged you and this other person together, the one that you may have loved or hated or been friends with your entire life. It isn't completely by choice, but it doesn't sound like that bad of an idea... Or maybe it does. Who knows?

04] Experience Difference | One of you knows exactly what to do, and the other doesn't! Maybe they're just a natural at this kind of thing... or maybe there's a thing or two they haven't told you yet.

05] Hesitant | One (or both) of you aren't quite sure if you're ready for this next big step... at the same time, you want this to happen, though the thought makes butterflies flutter around in the pit of your stomach.

06] Awkward | It feels like everything that can go wrong does go wrong. Relax? You can't relax! This is s-s-s-s-sex-- oh, boy, there's another mistake.

07] Wildcard | This is the "other" option. Choose any of the above or create your own!

TEXTS I'LL NEVER SAY

Some things are easier to type. You don't have to get the words out. You don't have to watch their face while you do it. You can stare at the message for ten minutes, delete it, type it again.

Then you hit send.

HOW TO PLAY
  • Comment with your character, preferences, and limits.
  • Tag around with something your character would have a much harder time saying face to face.
  • Pick a bank and a prompt, roll 1–15 and then 1–10, mix them up, or bring your own.

Code pushed -- FYI

[staff profile] mark posting in [site community profile] dw_maintenance

Hi all,

I had to push some code live today to fix something, and that brought with it a couple of new things like if you have two-factor authentication (2FA/MFA) enabled, you got automatically logged out and it is now required to log in. If you don't, you can set it up if you want (you don't have to.)

This also means that if you have 2FA enabled, you will not be able to use 3P clients using your username and password anymore. You should be able to use API keys in most cases, but there's some nuance to that (and tbh, I just am not precisely sure what clients anybody even uses.)

Please do comment if you're seeing anything weird, as per usual, and we'll work on it. Thank you!

pain before name

You’re hurt badly enough that standing on your own has stopped being an option. A stranger crouches beside you, and introductions apparently aren’t going to be the first order of business.

They need to know where it hurts. Helping might mean getting an arm around you, checking beneath torn clothing, wiping blood away, or simply putting a hand somewhere and telling you not to move. You would normally have opinions about a stranger getting this close. Right now, those opinions have to compete with the fact that you need them.

There are people you know well who have never seen you like this. This person knows nothing about you and is already seeing too much.

Maybe that makes it easier to let them help. They don’t know what any of it means yet.

Names can wait.

HOW TO PLAY
● Leave a top-level with your character, preferences, and whatever else people need to know.
● Tag around.
(optional) PROMPTS
01. LET ME SEE. They can’t do much from here. The stranger needs to get closer and see what actually happened.
02. LEAN ON ME. Getting anywhere under their own power isn’t happening. Someone else will have to make up the difference.
03. HOLD STILL. Something needs doing, and moving is only making it harder.
04. KEEP TALKING. Silence is becoming worrying. Anything that gets an answer back will do.
05. STAY. The worst may be over, but one of them isn’t ready for the other to leave yet.
06. YOUR NAME? Funny time to realize they never got that far.
07. WILDCARD. Something else happens before the names do. Pick the injury, the help, the complication, or whatever gets unexpectedly personal first.

Fate/AU Meme

Fate/AU Meme

Seven Masters, magi of the present day. Seven Servants, heroes of days past.
One Holy Grail, granting whomever claims it a wish.
Only one team of Master and Servant may claim it.
Who will it be?
Because you see, magic is real.
Those who use it hide from the world and fight amongst themselves
so that they might find the truth of their existence.

This is the Fate/ AU meme. All the lore you need is on the post! This is a rewrite of the usual Holy Grail War meme, so it borrows many elements from that. The original HGW meme is not mine, but this one pretty much works the same way.

How to Play

1. Post your top-level tag with the subject line: Character Name | Canon | Preferred Role (Master, Servant, either... or something else entirely!) Add a short summary of your character's setup/AU in this setting.

  • For Servants: List your character's potential classes (Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, Berserker... among others).
  • Lore regarding the Fate/ universe is available below if needed!

2. Tag out. Pick your roles and roll RNG for a prompt, or pick one that fits both characters.

3. Have fun!

THE ALMOST MEME

You came close enough that one or both of you noticed before whatever you were reaching for slipped away. A few options float around from here: let it lie, swing for the fences and try again, agree to pretend it never happened, or find some fresh and inventive way to make the whole thing worse.

They say almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, but whoever said that never had to sit across from someone afterward.

HOW TO PLAY
  • Comment with your character and preferences.
  • Tag around and pick or roll an ALMOST.
  • Add a WHY DIDN'T IT HAPPEN? and/or a WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? if the mood strikes.

established couple
A shiny penny. New, stretchy and clean socks. And what about a car fresh off the lot? There's something to be said for the fancy and new - but there are charm and comfort you just can't beat when it comes to the old faithfuls. Your favorite t-shirt, worn out in the shoulders. That warm blanket.

The person you've been with...well, forever.

how to play.
  • Comment with your character, prefs, etc.
  • All characters are welcome, as there are prompts for everyone - yes, including your grimdark antiheroes and playboy types.
  • Reply to others. Your characters are well-established "old" couple who've been with each other for a while and - hopefully - have left all the drama behind.


prompts.
  1. special trip: enjoy the beaches of Florida or the twin-sun skies of Tatooine.
  2. not the settling sort: how did you, of all people, settle down? nevermind, you might as well just reap the benefits.
  3. new place: you two just can't keep your hands to yourselves. or your bodies off every piece of furniture you have.
  4. night off: one of you is always busy, so time together is rare.
  5. long distance: a more extreme version of the above. you two are married but don't live together, as one of you is always on the road...or on the run.
  6. still so in love: no matter how long you've been together, the spark's still there.
  7. hatesex: there's no spark here, as it's more like a raging inferno of resentment towards your insignificant other.
  8. rekindle the spark: in continuation of spark talk, you guys are trying to recapture what you once had.
  9. make-up sex: the best thing about marital spats? making up again!
  10. romantic night: break out the chocolate and bubble bath.
  11. still got it: they have no need for jealousy, as you have eyes only for them. you want to show them how beautiful they are.
  12. domestically depraved: to the outside world, you're the Cleavers. in your own little world, you're still the perfect couple - just a bit kinky.
  13. CHOOSE YOUR OWN

THE (october) FIGHT MEME



What else needs to be said? Release your inner warrior and partake in some epic (or hilariously bad) battles! Do you use a sword? Are you a martial arts master? Are you a wizard? Can you even fight?

It doesn't matter if you're just having a friendly spar or deciding the fate of the universe. You're suddenly filled with the urge to fight the next person you meet. Cut loose and show off your skills!

RULES

◘ Post with your character! List your fighting preferences if you'd like (Sparring, Death Battles, Anything Goes, etc.)
◘ Reply to someone else
◘ ROUND 1...
◘ ... FIGHT!

Here are some prompts to pick from (or RNG from):

THE WANTING

You want them.

At first, it doesn't seem so bad. Then you start noticing when they leave. You remember the small things they say without trying. A good afternoon with them lingers into the next day, and the hours without them feel quieter than they used to.

Maybe you can have them.

Just not yet. Not like this. Not without risking something you are not ready to lose.

So. How bad is it?

HOW TO PLAY
◆ Comment with your character and preferences.
◆ QUICK: Pick or roll one WHY YOU CAN'T HAVE THEM and one MAKING IT WORSE.
◆ FULL DAMAGE: Add a LEVEL OF PINING and WHAT YOU DO ABOUT IT.
◆ Bring in BREAKING POINT when holding back stops working.
◆ Reroll anything that doesn't fit your characters or CR.

🔪THE FEAR MEME 🩸



There are two kinds of fears, rational and irrational.
Being afraid of realtors is an irrational fear.

— Lemony Snicket, A Series of Unfortunate Events

HOW TO PLAY:

  • Comment with your character. In the body of your top-level, your character is forced to admit their biggest, darkest fear. Maybe they assumed no one was listening, or perhaps this is the work of a magical truth serum. Either way, it's out in the open now.
  • Other characters can offer comfort, judgement, or probing psychological questions to delve into the root of this. Maybe you can work to face these fears together!
  • An especially evil character might look for ways to exploit this newfound information... but you wouldn't do that, would you?
  • Anything involving images, especially spooky images, should be linked and tagged.

THE MAKEOVER MEME
✂︎   ♡   ✂︎
For whatever reason, one of you has to take the wheel on the other’s appearance. They need a change, you’re the one making it happen, and the job gets pretty personal once you’re close enough to start fussing with the details.
HOW TO PLAY
  • Comment with your character and preferences.
  • Tag around to give someone a makeover or put yourself in their hands.
