March EMP Meme

[enablemeplz]

ENABLEMEPLZ meme goes up on the last Saturday of every month FOR GAME ADS: ➤ Put an ad up with the characters / crew / pairings / fetish you want for your game under the correct game header. This meme is primarily going to be focused on DWRP games but IJ and LJ games are allowed. ➤ PLEASE NOTE A RULE CHANGE HERE. ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding (no font size > size 4 or 3 "big" tags, no oversized banners (they must be 250px in height or less), no blinking text, no obnoxious table html that doesn't collapse easily, no sparklies, no large pictures). Use all the colors you like, but please remember 3 "big" tags is the limit and that's only for headers or title text rather than for all the text in an ad. FOR GAME QUESTIONS: ➤ RPers interested in a game can create a header for the game and ask questions about that game that aren't easy to find on faqs, such as the actual pace vs. what's listed/what kind of plots are run/if the game leans more towards plotty or slice of life/if a game leans more towards network or logs, etc. Both anon questions and anon answers are welcome in this section just like in the rest of the meme. ➤ This thread is not for speaking about wank or drama in a game. There are anoncomms that exist for that. This thread is specifically for general questions about a game that rpers want to get perspective on from players already in the game. Answers can be slightly negative (such as saying app response is slow or that the plots are repetitive or similar things) but this should at least be worded politely. Unnecessary vitriol, any mention of personal drama or wank, or mod teams/individual mods/players being singled out, will be either frozen or screened (based on what seems right based on the content). FOR CHARACTER ADS: ➤ Put up an ad about the characters you are offering. For PSL ads, there is a separate subthread but for character ads for games, post directly to the meme post. Others will comment to you with the games/casts they want you to join. ➤ There is a "Find a Castmate" section, where you can talk about a cast you play in at a game, and try to lure people to join it. Not all games post to the meme or have a "wanted" section, so players that want to tempt people to their cast on their own can use this section for it. Please format this the same as the PSL section, where you post your character's canons in your subject. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Find a Castmate" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. When listing who's currently in a cast, please do this in sentence form (with commas) rather than in list form. ➤ There is a "Find Crosscanon" section, where you can talk about a character you play and and desired crosscanon for that character. Please make sure this is not too generalized a search, because just wanting general crosscanon can be accomplished with the other sections of the meme. This is for specific characters or character types you're looking for. In the subject, please list the "Looking for [canon you're looking for]" rather than your character's canon. If looking for a character type, list the character type in as few words as possible. Do not make the subject huge or I'll screen your comment. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Find Crosscanon" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. This section is only for game crosscanon as in the psl section people can list their preferences. ➤ Examples of crosscanon you can search for: You play The Flash from DC Comics and your dream CR is fellow speedster Quicksilver from Marvel. Or you might play a witch and want cr with other witches in general. Or maybe you play a good character messed up by evil parents and want to play against a villain character you know has evil parents, because you know it'd lead to some interesting negative CR. ➤ ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding, with the same rules as the Game Ads Section above. ➤ If you're recommending a game to someone, try to match your suggestion to their needs. It's okay if part of your game rec is copy-pasted (such as what the game's about), but at least some part of the rec must be personalized to their ad. Try not to recommend the same game to every single ad, either. Ad spam that isn't individualized in some way will also be frozen or screened. Keep in mind this needs to be more specific than "this game has easy AC like you're asking for but meets none of your other requirements." Make sure you're advertising games that might click with that specific character, where a few elements fit what they're looking for. You should be thinking about the story reasons of how the character might click with the game. IN GENERAL: ➤ Don't be a dick. This isn't one of the anoncomms, so any snide comments or unnecessary commentary on the RP plans of others will be frozen or screened. MOD CONTACT: If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

I will not pay attention to IPs otherwise. I don't care what people like playing or who's who. So please feel comfortable to keep doing your thing, anon or otherwise. The knowledge will only be used for really egregious problem cases.

the witcher

[doesntgetinvolved]

offering: voicetesting Geralt! I've finished watching the TV show and I'm in the middle of a third playthrough of the game (don't @ me, I love this game), and I'd love to rp Geralt too.

seeking: canonmates, mostly. There are a lot of characters I love in this canon, so I'd be super down to play with Yennefer, Ciri, Jaskier/Dandelion, Lambert, Eskel, Calanthe, Emhyr, Regis, Renfri etc etc

I'll ship almost anything if the CR is good tbh, but I'm perfectly okay with gen adventures as well.

I'd like to start this in memes to test the waters and then move to PSL if it's working out well for us :)

contact me: pm or here. If you want to see my muselist to see if we've played together before, feel free to have a look.

[fourmarks]

I can definitely throw Yen your way to help you voice test c:

[doesntgetinvolved]

yesss Yen, I love her! Is there a meme that catches your eye at the moment? Or a particular scenario you'd like to play?

Re: the witcher

[breadpants]

I am always here for Geralt & Jaskier shenanigans
(Shippy for preference because I'm trash but open to gen too)

[doesntgetinvolved]

I'm good with shippy things for these two. Did anyone watch this show and end up NOT shipping them anyway?? they are very shippable tbh

Is there a particular trope or meme you'd be into at the moment?

[breadpants]

This is absolutely true.

So just flicking through the first page on BS, there's soulmate, nursed back to health and fake dating, all of which would probably be glorious

[doesntgetinvolved]

Honestly, I'm always up for the fake dating meme. It's a terrible trope but I love it /shrugs

why would these two fake date, though... to save Jaskier from a bunch of angry husbands whose wives he couldn't possibly have slept with since he is supposedly with the witcher? or if Jaskier's family wanted him to marry and he had to be like 'sorry I can't, I have this scary boyfriend already!'

[bottle]

if you're open to another yennefer, I'm down, I started with the show, got sucked into the game, now i'm reading the novels. I'm In Deep.

[doesntgetinvolved]

for sure, there can never be too many Yennefers!

and what a mood lmao I haven't read the novels yet but I'm considering it and it's. a lot.

Do you have any idea what kind of plot you'd like to play?

[bottle]

It is. But I figure I have so much free time right now....

I'm really up for anything, exploring the nebulous time period between episode 5 and 6 and any times they could have met up between them, or something post season 1 could be interesting too. I'll generally try just about anything.

[doesntgetinvolved]

before 5 and 6 could be interesting, it would give us more freedom to explore than post S1, I think. They could bump into each other while Geralt is on a contract and perhaps Yen is also looking for the same monster for another reason?

Re: the witcher

[girlinthewoods]

*presses face up to the window*

Hi, I'm Liz. This is my Ciri, and I have a Yen running around as well (chaosandorder). Please do hit me up!

[doesntgetinvolved]

hello! I see your Yen on the one line shipping meme, I will tag back!
I'd be delighted to play some gruff!dad Geralt threads with your Ciri, too :)

[whatupbuttercup]

Aaaaye, if you find yourself in need of another Jaskier, please hit me up. I'm down for shenanigans or shipping. Also, as an aside, if you ever want any Dragon Age characters thrown at him, I would be happy to do that also. (I play Cass, Solas, and Varric, and I see you play Dorian which is glorious.)

[doesntgetinvolved]

for sure, I'd be delighted to have another Jaskier! anything in particular you'd like to play with these two?

my Dorian muse is fairly dormant at the moment, sorry! That's a shame too because playing him is lots of fun. But I would be down for crossovers :)

[whatupbuttercup]

Oh, I am a sucker for all the classic tropes. Good old body heat, injury/recovery, other thing I cannot recall at the moment. I generally default to shipping, and if that's a'ight, pining is my favorite.

I'm lately wondering if it would be fun to do some au threads with Jaskier as a nonhuman creature (fae, selkie, banshee, whatever) but thats a hella specific niche that may not expressly appeal.

Is there any aspect of Geralt you really wanted to try out? Like combat writing, mystery investigation, shenanigans?

[doesntgetinvolved]

I am always here for the classic tropes tbh

Oh, we could mix up the body heat trope and the mutual pining trope quite nicely, I think!

I also love the idea of Jaskier being nonhuman and Geralt finding out after several years and being like "Are we talking about the same Jaskier?????"

We could even put both in the same thread, I think haha

I'm very new at playing Geralt, so I'm up for any aspect we can swing, honestly

[valleyofpenis]

I'm super down for either shipping or gen with these two if you're still looking.

[doesntgetinvolved]

for sure! If you don't mind my voicetesting, I would love another Jaskier thread :) What would you like to do, any meme that caught your attention lately?

[valleyofpenis]

of course I don't mind :> I am always a fan of the intimate bathing or minor injury memes, but if there's something else you're feeling, I tend to be pretty down for whatever.

[doesntgetinvolved]

I like these as well! We could do both at the same time? I feel like they're pretty easy to fit in this canon. Do you want the classic grumpy!Geralt in the bath with a fast-healing gash on his shoulder? Or should we plot twist and have him take care of Jaskier instead?

[rollstoseduce]

Hey there! I see you've already gotten tons of replies, so feel free to ignore this one if you already have enough on your plate. But if you don't mind another Jaskier, I'm voicetesting as well and I'd love some fun threads!

[doesntgetinvolved]

listen, if you don't mind a slow pace, I'm up to help a fellow voicetester up haha

What would you like to do for these two? Any meme that catches your eye?

[rollstoseduce]

I don't mind at all! I backtag forever, so never worry. Take your time, rl > rp and all that jazz.

Honestly I want all! the! things! Both shippy and gen is fine with me, I just love their chemistry in general. I topleveled at the hygge meme, but I also have an open post on my journal if we want to steal ideas from the other memes (A Meme of FIRSTS! for shippy stuff for example, Intimate bathing, Picture prompt I could top level there) or we can come with scenarios of our own. I'm a sucker for domesticity in general (Jaskier taking care of Geralt, bathing him, caring for his wounds, reminding him that YOU FUCKING MATTER YOU BIG OAF), but I'm also up for monster of the week kind of stuff. Deep talks! Sharing their pasts, sharing anecdotes under the sky, dealing with Jaskier's family or Geralt's fellow witchers, fighting over who Roach loves best (Jaskier has been spoiling her okay!!!). Silly tropes like getting truth curses, and transformed into animals, etc. Geralt trying to teach Jaskier to defend himself (it won't go well). All kinds of AUs from modern to sci fi to sending them to a jamjar so Jaskier can learn what a speaker is and play music 24/7. Geralt apologizing after the freaking mountain and Jaskier taking the chance to yell at him. I can keep going forever ahaha any particular preferences?

[doesntgetinvolved]

Oooh, that's a lot of ideas haha

I like the last one, I haven't done any post S01E06 fix-it threads yet, so I'd be up for it. We could have Geralt track him down at some point, apologize, see how that goes, and then some domesticity as they start traveling together, perhaps more careful around one another than before?
