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 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?

THE ALPHA/BETA/OMEGA MEME

In our world, sexual roles are commonly defined by genders -- male or female or other, by sexualities -- gay or straight, bi or asexual or in-between. But what if they were defined by something else entirely?

Alpha/Beta/Omegaverse is a fusion of fanfiction tropes and animalistic behavior. In this world, sexual roles are divided into three categories: the Alphas (the dominant, the protective and the aggressive), the Betas (ordinary humans) and the Omegas (submissive, fertile and able to carry children).

RESOURCES:
Fanlore on the Alpha/Beta/Omegaverse
Alphas, Betas and Omegas: A primer.

CONTENT WARNING: Below the cut contains descriptions of animalistic sexual behavior as applied to humans, situations of dubious consent, explicit situations, mpreg, and scenarios of societal oppression. Click with caution!

— dirty, rotten, cheaters

“I tried to keep myself away from him by using con words like "fidelity" and "adultery", by telling myself that he would interfere with my work, that if I had him I'd be too happy to write. I tried to tell myself I was hurting Bennett, hurting myself, making a spectacle of myself. I was. But nothing helped. I was possessed. The minute he walked into a room and smiled at me, I was a goner.”

― Erica Jong, Fear of Flying

At its core, cheating can be defined as a betrayal of trust. But, of course, this leaves some grey areas. Meeting up with an ex seems pretty clear cut, but liking pics on Instagram? That's murky.

Because of this, this meme can take many forms as the concept of cheating can take many forms. Beyond sexual intimacy, there are things like emotional cheating and financial cheating that can be considered. Was this an accident or was it planned? A one-time thing or an on-going secret relationship? Are both parties involved in on this, or is someone completely in the dark about being a side piece? Maybe you're the one left in the dark while your partner is out frolicking about.

All that matters is that cheating is represented somehow in your threads. The rest is up to you.

— comment with your character + prefs + desired role
— reply to others and decide on a scenario.
— don't get caught.

The Dating Meme

Dating is, when you think about, really weird. It's a totally different thing for different people. Some are friends for years before they date; others start dating on the same day they met. Sometimes, there's a lot mushy stuff involved; other times, the couple acts just like friends. None of this is necessarily right or wrong.

Whatever it is, your character and the character you reply to are now dating. How? That's up to you. Whether it be awkward or not, the relationship will be uniquely theirs.

How to Play
-Comment with your character and preferences.
-Reply to others.
-Have fun.

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.

Prompts

A G E ( DIFFERENCE ) - light of my life, fire of my loins. you're supposed to stick to those your own age, but you can't resist.
I N C E S T - you're of the same blood, yet something draws you together. you'll keep your secret thicker than water.
C H E A T I N G - when you were young, they should have taught you to not take things that belong to other people.
I N ( PUBLIC ) - to involve unsuspecting others in your sex is insidious, but you can't resist it.
S U P E R F L U O U S - some conservative societies view sex outside procreational purposes as taboo. that means anal, oral, and toys are all no-go.
F I X A T I O N - you're nearly obsessed with one part of your partner - breasts, ass, lips...whatever the case may be, you always focus on that.
D E V I A N C Y ( IN SUBURBIA ) - there are some things that should be sacred. the home should be one of those. should.
S I Z E - pick on someone your own size. couples with large size difference, be it height or weight, can be looked down upon; don't let that get you down.
P H O B I A - unfortunately, in some societies, being with someone of the same gender is a taboo, no matter how much progress the modern world has made.
F E T I S H - some just can't get off without their fetish, and the varieties run the gamut: feet, crossdressing, autoerotic asphyxiation, foodplay, bondage...it goes on and on.
U N E X P E C T E D ( DOMINATION/SUBMISSION ) - the masculine must be dominant. the feminine must be submissive. what if you're dominant in life, though, and just want to be submissive in the bedroom.
V I O L E N T - more than mere lover's spats, what goes on between you two is dangerous. if people knew, they'd be horrified. still, you can't stop.
F O R B I D D E N ( LOVE ) - your relationship may be taboo, but there's genuine love in your copulation. this isn't merely a thrill.
L O O S E - monogamy isn't what you're after. no matter how looked down upon it is, you're going to have fun while you can.
S T U D E N T / T E A C H E R - what goes on between the sheets is not an appropriate subject matter to teach. there's so much to lose; is it a smart game to play?
A U T H O R I T Y - perhaps they're the boss, the president, the king, but you, you're a lowly peon. are they using their powers over you or is this something you both want?
I N T E R S P E C I E S - kind finds kind, and don't you be a traitor by being with one of them.
B E S T I A L I T Y - one of the most primal taboos. will you go into that moral wilderness?
S O C I A L ( CLASS ) - the rich. the poor. it's like they're in two different worlds. what will the uppercrust say if they saw their golden child with a tramp?
C E L I B A C Y - you are supposed to keep your chastity, but things are never that easy.
S T O C K H O L M - prisoners should never fall for their guards.
D U T I E S - whether it be saving the world or being the world's best bodyguard, your sworn quest and purpose keeps you from enjoying the sins of the flesh - especially with your charges.
I N N O C E N C E - one of you is much more worldly, and to ruin the "innocence" of the other feels unclean.
F E R T I L E - you aren't supposed to find mothers or fathers sexually alluring. however, there's something so enticing about fertility...perhaps even pregnancy.
C O R R U P T I O N - society expects you to treat your partner well, not try to destroy them through sexual degradation.
N O N C O N S E N S U A L - consent is rightfully important to a healthy sexual relationship. to break that trust is taboo.

Hi all!

I'm doing some minor operational work tonight. It should be transparent, but there's always a chance that something goes wrong. The main thing I'm touching is testing a replacement for Apache2 (our web server software) in one area of the site.

Thank you!

bonfire meme
because it's that time of year

It's a bonfire! No special rules, just come get toasty!

how to play

1. Create a top-level!

2. Chat with others around the fire. Play games, share stories, get cozy.

🔥 stay warm

autumn drinks Hot cocoa, warm apple cider... Delicious!

roasts Pass the marshmallows, please!

scary stories What was on the back of her car? Was it... a hook?!

alcoholic drinks Who's daring you to chug that Oktoberfest beer?

comfort Soft, cozy clothes are that much better near the fire.

guitar solo There's always that one... anyway, here's Wonderwall.

partied too hard The one stumbling over logs and slurring their words.

truth or dare The best thing about this game is that it can happen anywhere.

wood The fire's getting a little low.. you wouldn't mind scouting for more wood, would you?

chubby bunny How many marshmallows can you fit in your mouth?

deep chats Fires have a way of getting the truth out of people...

horror movie What was that noise? Someone should go investigate.

wildcard What happens at the fire, stays at the fire.

Only took you 25 years and the damn Netflix reboot to get me out of your head and onto paper and phosphors, huh?

Shouldn’t you be working on my canon instead of this nonsense? I know you have up to meeting - ugh - all the serious contenders for my heart and all of the old guard in your head (love what you’ve done with the crashing boar, by the way, and give my regards to Akari) - but your Constant Readers kind of wanna know how we punt Hanzo into next week and out of the narrative, and good riddance. Creep.

And I see you eyeing a journal username “weiward_romantic”, don’t you dare until it’s her turn to make a dynamic entrance into our living room. Wang To Na is a great sparring partner and knows where all the best dim sum is at but also she should probably have canon instead of just a feverishly conceived backstory and an image song by Flavor Foley before you start RPing her too.

With any luck Vampire Romeo and Werewolf Juliet will be done by then so I can try out being your third. God knows my story is unfinished enough that me and all my sparring partners belong there.

Would You Rather...?

How to Play
One person asks "Would you rather...?" followed by two options. They can range from mundane to outrageously horrific: be a cat OR be a dog, save starving children in Africa OR have a real working lightsaber, etc. Others decide which they would choose of the two given options. Friendships are created or destroyed.

The Rules
1. Comment with your character with a "Would you rather...?" starter. 2. Respond to other characters with your character's choice out of two (probably horrible) choices. 3. DISCUSS.

The Slave Auction Meme

( nsfw image; this meme deals with dark subjects like slavery and may also contain non-consensual/dubiously consensual sex, violence, and kink. )

(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?

THE ARRANGED MARRIAGE MEME

How to Play
I. Leave a comment with your character's name, canon, and any preferences you might have. You can also write a prompt to set the scene if you wish.
II. When replying, roll for a scenario, come up with your own, or respond to what the other person has already come up with.
III. Tag around and have fun!

Prompts
I. Matchmaker, Matchmaker - You're a commoner, and the matchmaker - whether it be your parents or an actual village matchmaker - has had their say. It's time to meet your spouse-to-be.
II. Do Your Duty - This isn't a normal arranged marriage because your station calls for it. There's some purpose behind it: A political alliance, perhaps, or something else. You don't have much choice but to go through with it, so you might as well meet the other person.
III. Getting to Know You - So the engagement is official, and you've met the other person, but you still don't know them very well. Maybe you've decided to take them out, or maybe it's a chaperoned meeting. But it's good to spend time with someone you'll be spending the rest of your life with, right?
IV. Breaking it Off - Before your engagement, you were with someone else. You're still with someone else, but it's time to change that. Like it or not, you're going to have to break up with your significant other. In this prompt, you're interacting not with your potential bride or groom, but with someone else.
V. Runaway - That's it. You can't take this. There's no way you're going to go through with this - it's just not for you. You're all set to flee.
VI. One Last Chance - You're all set up for an arranged marriage, but you've got lingering regrets. Maybe there's an old flame you're just not willing to let go of yet. In this prompt, you're interacting not with your potential bride or groom, but with someone else.
VII. The Big Day - Do you hear the wedding bells ringing? Everyone else does. It's time to walk down the aisle and make this official.
VIII. Happily Ever After - Surprisingly, the arranged marriage worked out rather well. Live out your days in wedded bliss and laugh about the fact that you would have chosen each other even if someone else hadn't chosen for you.
IX. Not-So-Happy Ending - Yeah, no. This marriage just isn't working, but you can't break it off. There's no wedded bliss here - just conflict. But you can put up with it. Can't you?
X. Wild Card - The "other" option! Use your imagination and come up with something!
