April EMP Meme

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.

Important note: IP logging has turned on due to multiple instances past and present of problem players trying to return to the dwrp community via emp after being banned other places, so I'll be IP logging from now on, and will compare notes with the rpa and wg mods (as well as game mods) where appropriate if it seems like someone that has been mass banned. 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.

fe3h and maybe crosscanon?

offering: edelgard von hresvelg

I'd like to get back into shippy psls. would love to find a few partners interested in doing both one-shot memes and ongoing psl sagas (the latter is typically my strength but sometimes you just have a meme itch you need to scratch). unfortunately I've become a slow-to-medium tagger but my interest hasn't flagged and my speed is likely to improve in the coming months.

  • with canonmates - dimigard and edelbert are my favorite edelgard ships. edelclaude, ferdigard, and edelthea complete my top five. I'm also potentially interested in seteth, rhea, sylvain, felix, and ingrid if we have similar interests. I'm a big enemies-to-lovers fan. I like golden route exploration, reluctant arranged marriages that wind through conflicted feelings and sexual tension to end up at genuine romantic love, battle couple tropes, love confessions, masquerade balls, fake relationships complicated by real feelings, us-against-the-world situations where characters are forced to rely on each other when they otherwise wouldn't.


  • AU me! vampires/werewolves/monsters, warring factions in space, simple canon divergence, modern AUs where our characters hook up like normal college students or whatever and gradually remember who and what they used to be in the past life where they were at odds/fighting side by side/whatever. I'm pretty open here. I like settings that help pry edelgard open faster than she'd let it happen in fódlan so I could be willing to set a psl in a game's setting.


  • actual smut's not necessary but I'm definitely down if you are. first-times, sneaky monastery meetings, angry I-hate-that-I-love-you sex, etc. if you have a student canonmate I'd be into an academy-era sex challenge type of thing, where she and another character take turns bossing each other around. edelgard sets the rules for one night's sneaky sex, her partner gets to call the shots the next time, etc etc. I've also had another scenario in mind for a while but haven't played it yet: a (possibly reluctant) political marriage where edelgard's new spouse tries to distract her from further conflict by using sex in sort of a 1001 nights of physical intimacy (which would hopefully help to lead to emotional intimacy). the idea first came up when I was talking to a dimitri player so admittedly that'd be the ideal pairing for this but I think it'd be a fun thread regardless of pairing. your character doesn't have to be experienced with sex or well-versed in kink, just willing to do it. generally speaking vanilla sex is always fine for smut but when it comes to less vanilla threads I'm kind of burnt out on a lack of variety so I'd love more situations where dynamics aren't set in stone forever, situations where one turns the tables on the other, characters taking turns, etc. part of the fun in playing a character as tightly-wrapped as edelgard is being able to explore her vulnerabilities and I'd like to have more chances to do that so if you enjoy writing switchy stuff we'll probably get along great.


  • with crosscanon - I haven't gotten to play much significant crosscanon with edelgard, although this may work best with canons I already know to some degree. she could work really well with characters from game of thrones, dragon age, final fantasies (I feel like there could be some cool canon-meshing with ffxiv's ishgardians?), the witcher, but I'm also cool with modern canons if we have a good match. there's some basic info in the journal.

    Edelthea you say~?

    My Dorothea's feelings for Edelgard are... complicated. I do tend to play Dorothea as sort of all routes, but I kind of feel like even on the routes where Edelgard and her are enemies she would still want to be Edelgard's friend. So actually confronting her in battle would be very difficult for her, almost tempt her to switch sides but not quite. On the other hand she still really believes in Edelgard's ideals since she's seen firsthand the corruption in the nobility.

    BUT I DIGRESS!!!

    I am open to pre-timeskip or post-timeskip shipping, crack, action, gen, fluff, you name it I love throwing Dorothea at Edelgard. She's in my top 5 favorite pairings for Dorothea for sure, maybe even my top three, it's hard to say sometimes. I also have a Lysithea who I always thought was a fun sort of big sisterly type relationship, but you didn't list her so I didn't bother listing her.

    Let me know if you'd like to do anything with Dorothea here so I can decide whether or not to renew her paid account. Having like three different smut icons of my 15 available is a bit embarrassing >_>;

    ugh I love them so much! Within the Eagles I usually play Edelgard as feeling closest to Hubert, of course, and Dorothea because I kind of feel like Edelgard's most unguarded in her supports with Dorothea (which isn't to say she's not guarded but there's an ease in their friendship that I don't feel in all of Edelgard's supports right from the beginning, you know what I mean?).

    What would you think about maybe doing something where Dorothea fell in with the blions immediately after the incident at the Holy Tomb because she was taken so off guard by the reveal and scrambling for some stability but five years later (and with Dimitri's obvious personal anger toward Edelgard maybe rubbing her the wrong way) she reevaluates her choices? This is just me throwing ideas around but maybe it could be something where she volunteers to participate in the attack on monastery in the CF storyline but is doing it because she's been thinking of rejoining the Empire and maybe heals someone important to Edelgard's cause in the attack (like Ladislava or Randolph?) and uses the attention she gets to ask for an audience with the Emperor. Lets us work through some conflict despite their affection for each other.

    I'm wide open to other ideas, though, so if there's something else that you'd like to do by all means let's brainstorm!

    Also yeah, as much as I love Lysithea I don't really ship Edelgard with her. There's no reason we can't do something more gen with them at some point, though!
    rose_thorns: ([TS] Edie... I'll stay by your side)

    [personal profile] rose_thorns 2022-04-17 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
    I definitely agree! I think part of it is that Dorothea is very perceptive. She obviously doesn't know about Edelgard's coup until it takes place, but she can tell this girl is definitely on the road to revolution, and she's pretty okay with it. Hail the mighty Edelgard indeed.

    Hnnnngh, there's so much about this I like. Dorothea definitely could have been swept up in the movement because she doesn't want her friends (like Ingrid, Sylvain, or Felix) to die, but having the church trying to push towards returning to the status quo, that promoted the corruption in the nobility that Dorothea despises, could definitely make her feel like she's on the wrong side. Another part of me is tempted to do it from the blue lions route so you also have Dimitri at his most batshit insane, to really make her question her allegiances, but that puts her and Edelgard on the inevitably losing side unless we're really AUing things. Then again, who knows where the new Warriors game might go plot wise.

    >_< ugh, I probably shouldn't plot these things as I'm falling asleep, but I didn't want to put off replying any longer. I swear I've deleted and rewritten a dozen ideas and then was like ".... That's stupid!"

    Aaaaand I ended up falling asleep on my keyboard, that's embarrassing. <_< But as I said, I kind of see Lysithea/Edelgard as a more sisterly dynamic rather than a romantic one. They've both lost a bunch of brothers and sisters, so having a sister who's been through the same thing is almost more important to them. I've also seen some really good Byleth/Edelgard in my day, but for some reason it's almost always fem Byleth? :|a Like they forget that Edelgard is bisexual? I think I'm just ranting at this point, but the point is I love the way you think! <3
