July EMP Meme
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!

XIV
✦ Central European Timezone. I can be a fast tagger when I'm online and I offer at least one tag/day even when our timezones don't match... but there's that.
✦ Open to museboxes/memes/BS- but I'd rather keep things on DW.
✦ I can work with most scenarios! Gen, Adventure, Crack, H/C- I do consider myself very adaptable in that sense. The things listed below are merely suggestions/preferences, feel free to DM me if you have ideas!
Looking for
✦ Castmates: I'm very interested in bouncing against other characters from XIV and I'm not limiting myself to the Amaurot/Elpis gang. I'd actually really like to RP Hythlodaeus exploring the modern world of Eorzea, possibly with a proper guide. I'd also kill for a Shade of Hyth/Watcher interaction, but I'm painfully aware that's probably not going to happen.
✦ Crosscanon/Ocs: Time for the Architect to become the Traveler, isn't it? I do welcome interactions of this kind.
✦ AUs: I will be honest, I've been craving a 'reincarnation' AU for this boy for a while, now... but I'm open to discuss pretty much any kind of AU.
✦ Horror/Grimdark: Kind of... my favorite genre. I can stomach a lot of things and I will not deny I love scenarios where all hope is lost. Hythlodaeus is going to try to offer a smile until the end, thought. I'd like to explore the Final Days, of course, but any kind of dark scenario is usually welcome. With Hythlodaeus being a soulseer there's a lot of potential for ghost/undead scenarios.
✦ Hurt/comfort: Another weakness of mine. Hythlodaeus is great at the comfort thing!
✦ Slice of Life: For shorter threads, mostly, but still something pleasant to sprinkle here and there on occasion.
✦ Soulmates: Whether he's part of the whole thing or helping your character realize their feelings for someone else. He can see when two souls are close to each other, after all!
✦ Shipping/Smut are a 'maybe' with him. Definitely easier with Hades (Or, if I push it, with Azem. No WoLs outside Memes.) but I'd rather not focus mainly on that, not without a plot behind it. Slow-burn preferred. In the NSFW department I want just to make it clear I will not do any form of non con.
I'm currently dealing with an intense week, but I should be able to reply soon in case anyone wants to send me a DM.

oh, also Eastern European timezone so that's one hour difference.

Also AWESOME, similar timezones!

I'm certain Hyth would be incredibly grateful to know Hades had a friend to keep him company, sort of, and would probably try to help. I just have one question, truly, do you think Shade has some kind of soul, since it's sentient? Non-sentient familiars we see in Elpis, soulless ones, seem to be rather basic.
no subject
And thaaaat is a very good question. The thread I've done with him, he was definitely more a creation, with certain... limitations, which are implied by the two scenes. But also self-awareness ... hmm. Do you have a preference? (It's sadder if he doesn't, because Hades had to deal with that emptiness...)
no subject
Which means having to finish SB post-game which is being a total drag for me because it's not an expansion I like... but I'm almost there..
Huh... it really depends on the thread for me. I'm having a long term thing with someone where it's Hades and Shade interacting and he's just like a madman scientist trying to give it a soul 'close enough' (since we know that only the ancients and few other people have the power to keep their individuality even in the aetherial sea.) and failing. Still, we do know he is a limited being, a shadow of a time long gone and something Emet-Selch didn't plan to make 'aware', from what we know.
Both ways really work for me, both are really sad because if he had no soul, then Hades had to look at him and see it as empty as it was. If he had a soul, Hades had to look at him and see another person instead of him. Hythlodaeus would probably feel for his shade either way?
no subject
Good, no rushing is best. Even that part and I know that pain well, I'm there with an alt... I love some parts of it and then others I just... zzz...
That's very fair and the thread sounds amazing. And I keep going back and forth on whether he meant it or not. Emet-Selch absolutely took extreme care in creating Hythlodaeus's shade, withholding very specific information from it which both he and the original would have known, and giving him enough specific purpose to be able to entrust the convocation memory stones to him, all of them. But he still may have not meant for him to be self-aware... theoretically...
Yeah... yes. Also Hades to look at him and see another person who is created only to die by the choices of another, rather than how things used to be back then...
