December EMP Meme

[enablemeplz]

ENABLEMEPLZ meme goes up on the Second 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.

Comments

arcane, dune, ffxiv, gbf, genshin

[civilization]

Offering:

arcane: mel medarda, silco
dune: jessica atreides, leto atreides i
final fantasy xiv: zenos yae galvus
genshin impact: arataki itto
granblue fantasy: belial

Preferences:

gen: open to canon, cross-canon and oc interactions through psls or memes, particularly with characters from similar enough backgrounds or universes to bounce off of, though i am certain we can make something work if the interest is there. some more specific hooks are:

for the atreides couple, i would love the opportunity to write the pair together, and any family times with paul would also be wonderful.

for zenos, i've just come back from completing endwalker's msq and would love the opportunity to explore his dynamic with the wol, mainly through psls taking place pre-canon, during stormblood or even during / after endwalker. ew knowledge isn't a must though and i can easily keep things spoiler-free.

for arataki itto, any castmates, but i'm also eager to have him interact with anyone from the inazuma gang, esp after this upcoming patch.

for both mel and silco, canonmates from arcane are wonderful, but i'd also like to bounce them off of other league muses.

for belial, any canonmates are similarly wonderful: sandalphon, lucilius, sariel, beelzebub, olivia... just to name a choice few that spring to mind

shipping: this is much the same as gen, but i'm always open to exploring cross-canon possibilities here. i prefer m/f and f/f over m/m but the most important thing for me is always the character dynamic.

possible plot hooks: some of my favorites to write: complex relationship dynamics, enemies/friends to lovers, fancy vs crude romance, unrequited affection, the goofy and absurd, hurt/comfort, slow burn, angst in any shape and form

tagging: i can be a slower tagger due to work. at the very worst, it can take me a couple of days to tag you back. will do either action and prose. smut is also on the table if the storyline builds on that. will also backtag into forever. if interested, send over a pm to this journal or respond here!

[verthunder]

Zenos you say...

[occludent]

the one and only. might you be open to any interactions with him??

[verthunder]

i very much would be! i've never had the opportunity :>

[manofprogress]

I would honestly love to explore cr with Mel and Silco!

[civilization]

jayce!! might you have preference between the two? i can easily run either by him, as there's a lot to explore with their respective relationships

[jinxer]

Hi! I was thinking of voice testing Jinx. I have no idea what I'm doing yet, but I'm open to doing something.

I also have a few Final Fantasy characters I can throw at Zenos. None from 14 though.

[commence]

i would love to bounce silco off of your jinx! he's new to me as well, so i would be open to something small, maybe a meme? to begin exploring their relationship, or we could go full throttle with a psl if that's more your thing

[jinxer]

A meme would be fine by me!

Re: arcane, dune, ffxiv, gbf, genshin

[hexgate]

mel!! grabbyhands, i haven't gotten to test jayce in that relationship yet but i am very very here for it and would love to write with her 👀

[civilization]

jayce!! i would love the opportunity to play out their relationship. if it interests you, we could do something set between act 1 and act 2 of the show, and explore how their relationship deepened. after all, mel was seeking to manipulate jayce, though she eventually caught genuine feelings., which hits upon the most intriguing part of their dynamic for me

alternatively, if you would like to explore jayce more in his fledgling politician role, we could do a slight canon divergence of sorts since his time actually working directly in the council was short. perhaps their vote for peace went through even despite of jinx's timely intervention, and jayce & mel are left to deal with the aftermath, not to mention their respective injuries?

that's me all out of ideas... for now. lmk if any suit you!

[hexgate]

!! me forever: [whynotboth.jpg], aka i say let's start with the earlier one to flesh out the development of their relationship — bc yeah i'd love to see that play out a bit less rushed — and that also leaves the door open for us to timejump and do a later thing if we feel like it ✨ because ugh, yes, this is exactly what i wanted to sink my teeth into: kinda incorporating the manipulative, lady macbeth-ish nature of their relationship to start and how she's steering this oblivious lug for advancement, but then seeing how it slowly develops into genuine affection.

maybe i could start something for you w/ him coming to visit her office, asking for some resources, leading to some planning + fledgling flirtation + her nudging him into Thinking Bigger etc?

[civilization]

oh good, everything about this gives me joy

and yes, that setup works perfectly!!

[hexgate]

doot doot here ya go! bit long for scene-setting purposes, obv don't feel duty-bound to match, and i can tweak anything if needed ♥

[cloudedreason]

Hi! I'd be happy to give Leto a go, I'll need to make an account for him

[augmentor]

I have a few League muses I could offer (Jinx, Viktor and potentially Kog'maw if you want that path).

It could be really interesting to explore Mel and Viktor CR. From disagreements regarding the progress of Hextech to weaponry, to potential Jayce drama or season 2 "what-ifs".

[aquaveiled]

Holy crap, Zenos! I would be super interested in threading with him if you would be up for a lizard wol. He's an absolutely fascinating character that we so rarely see lurking about.

For some context/history, Himeka is from the Ruby Sea and therefore was kind of distanced from the immediate effects of the Garlean Empire's impact on the East, at least at the onset. All of her knowledge was absorbed through working with the Scions and doing jobs with them. She's a White Mage/Black Mage main so she casts fairly aggressively (insert "I'm a healer but" meme), and tends to give people the benefit of the doubt even when she shouldn't.

Admittedly after all was said and done Zenos calling the wol the Big F (Friend) at the end of SB really threw her for a loop since she takes the mantle of friendship to heart.

(I am ALMOST done with EW, just did the 89 raid.)

[alchemania]

Okay, super weird, but could I interest you in a Sucrose for Itto? Now that the Vision Hunt Decree and isolation policies have been lifted, she decides to conduct research overseas on the local flora and animal species and then finds some weird ass man crawling in the bushes looking for beetles. All I can imagine is utter chaos and her wanting to touch his horns for science because what even is an oni.
