April 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. ➤ All mod responses regardless of whether they're rule breaks, correction requests (like someone posting in the wrong section), or thwapping someone for spamming copy-paste ads, have always been and will almost universally be public. If someone sends a PM and the conversation gets combative, this will also be made public and posted to the comments of the mod contact page. This is for the sake of transparency so people can judge the emp mod's communications for fairness themselves. There are times where the player's post may be screened (such as if they posted to the wrong section) but the mod's response will be left unscreened. ➤ Players may sometimes be allowed more than one strike for copy-paste ads since this is often just enthusiasm behind it, but game mods should know better. They'll get one warning for copy-paste ads, and if they spam anymore copy-paste ads after the warning, they'll be banned from the meme. MOD CONTACT: If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

Comments

bg3, lotr, gone girl, cyberpunk, fallout (tv) (seeking canon or crosscanon!)

[thirsted]

OFFERING:

astarion ancunín / thirsted, baldur's gate 3
raphael / bargains, baldur's gate 3
galadriel / ages, the lord of the rings: the rings of power
amy elliott dunne / begot, gone girl
kurt hansen / accessed, cyberpunk 2077
cooper howard ("the ghoul") / journal pending, fallout (tv)

SEEKING:

FOR ASTARION:
— (copy+pasting from a previous emp:) my most recent brainworms are specifically to do with au'ing astarion into some demon-centric anime, specifically jujutsu kaisen, demon slayer, or chainsaw man — likely as a demon/cursed spirit himself, and dealing with him being forced to cooperate, out of necessity, with the "good" side of things, i.e. a fairly close analog to how his story starts out in the game.
— also 👀 at dungeon meshi and any other fantasy settings; game of thrones/house of the dragon, final fantasy, the legend of zelda, elden ring/bloodborne/etc.
— happy to either have two baldur's gate 3 characters au'ed into the above worlds together or mash him together with the given world's extant characters.
- also happy to just fuck around in the default bg3 world, i'm easy! not necessarily looking for ships off the bat, but, look, i love a good ship as much as anyone so let's figure it out together.

FOR RAPHAEL:
— see above, but also as a more traditional devil archetype, he's pretty easy to throw into other canons that aren't necessarily explicitly demon/fantasy-leaning.
— something something post-game au something ... clearly i haven't thought this through BUT would love to play out something that differs from what are basically two endings for him in the game.
— also a big fan of twists on the "bluebeard" story for him!

FOR GALADRIEL:
— mostly interested in crosscanon/aus and throwing her into somewhat grimier canons (e.g. house of the dragon/game of thrones, elden ring, the witcher) and transposing some of the political dynamics of middle-earth into those settings.
— i'm extremely weak for arranged marriage storylines! and (potentially) the thorniness of an immortal being marrying a mortal one.

FOR AMY:
— let her ruin your life. 😇
— looking for either a sub-in for nick or someone she comes across while on the run OR after coming back home and feeling much more in control of her life.
— also open to girl friends she secretly hates lmao.

FOR KURT:
— would love to play kurt off of a songbird — sorry @ god but i do ship them.
— this is more a general cyberpunk note than a kurt-specific note but i've toyed with the idea of rolling viktor, so if that's anyone's cup of tea, you know who to hit up (me).

FOR COOPER:
– still setting up a journal for this guy but would kill for a lucy or a barb.
— for the former, unfortunately "we cut off each other's fingers and now your finger is stitched onto my hand where my old finger used to be" DOES do it for me ... probably looking for threads filling in their traveling together during the show's timeline and/or filling in some space before season 2 (fingers crossed).
— for the latter, i'm interested in digging a little further into their relationship considering that his reaction to [spoiler] being given a listening device to plant on his wife is not to tell her about it but to actually do it, despite the fact that he does really seem to love her! what was that initial conversation about vault-tec, etc.
— generally open to anything as i start voicetesting, whether in the pre-war era (no shipping in this case though) or once he's gone ghoul (MUCH nastier but open to whatever 🤡).

OTHER:

— i'm making this post after basically falling off of the face of the earth for a month or two and am only now trying to get back into the swing of things, which is to say: i'm a slow tagger! backtagging is the name of the game with me. :u
— if there's a character listed above that you're interested in but i haven't necessarily listed whatever scenario you might be looking for, please feel free to hit me up anyway.
— psls, bakerstreet, it's all gravy.
— gen / shippy / smut, all 👌🏻, though i might prefer a little discussion wrt the last two.
— contact via comment here or pm, thank you! happy to hand out my plurk/discord once we've chatted more.

[okiedokey]

hey! i'm voicetesting lucy, so if you'd like a fellow voice-tester who also had the finger swap just DO THINGS for them, hi :3

i'm also planning on fixing up my tav's journal and setting up one for my durge as well also tentivitly voicetesting shadowheart. and i've got some dragon age characters if you're interested (mostly a female tabris who is in her 'i hate humans everyone, lets stab them' era and a rusty female cousland).

also heart eyes at amy! idk if i have anyone who would fit with her but i love her <3

[thirsted]

it only takes a moment finger swap.mp3

all that to say YES i'm absolutely down to clown with lucy and the ghoul! if you have any top levels i'm happy to hit em up. and i'm also always around for bg3 threads — my knowledge of dragon age is limited to inquisition but i'm open to anything!

[okiedokey]

forget flowers and chocolates and trauma. give me fingers!!

i've got her on a few memes right now: red string, gen texting and spoils of war. but i'm totally game for anything else, or just wildcarding and throwing things together!

yay. i'm doing another durge playthrough but i'll probably set up her journal this week (loth drow barbarian, she's trying to resist buuuut). debating redoing my default tav cause i just based her off my first dnd oc i've had since i was a teenager so she's... kind of boring lol but i still love her. tabris is an elf who was abducted from the alienage along with her cousin and some other female elves by an arls son bc he wanted to sexually assault them (he did assault her cousin) and tabris ends up killing all of them and decapitating the arl which results in her being conscripted into the grey wardens and now has to save the world bc of course.

[thirsted]

honestly!!! and great -- i'll hit up gen texting as soon as i've uploaded an icon lmao.

nice! i'm still working on finishing my durge playthrough but it's such a fun storyline. and, look, first dnd ocs never die, even if they are a little boring. re: tabris, oh NO that's a rough origin story 😮‍💨

[okiedokey]

/boogies. and omg sorry for being slow, the last few days have been rough ;;

haha that's true! i've been meaning to rework her for an actual campaign so maybe i'll just do another playthrough with her to do that lol. tabris has been THROUGH it. i think out of all the da games, the characters in origins all have the saddest origin stories. all of them are full of murder or betrayal or just SOMETHING. i could probably easily adapt her into bg3 too if you were ever interested.

[vault33]

I've got a Lucy who's thoroughly in the nervously voicetesting stage, and would love to do so together. Absolutely loved the hell out of Cooper and Lucy and would absolutely be here for shenanigans.

I can also offer a few Dragon Ages and minor Game of Thrones characters for Astarion and Galadriel. (Also possibly some Rings of Power folks but they are ALSO very very voicetesty. And in some cases need icons.) Possibly a Tav and a Durge as soon as I start playing. Also can offer a Critical Role folk or two.

[thirsted]

i can't wait for a season two for a multitude of reasons but chiefly to see coop and lucy trekking through the wasteland again ;A; aka let's do it!

[vault33]

I was amused as hell that I came out of the show not shipping the actual kind of romance that was happening but shipping the HELL out of the vault dweller and the Ghoul. Hell yes! Let's do it!

Editing this to add that I... also have an AU!Janey. For family shenanigans. (Everything about this idea will probably get Jossed come season 2 but I can have fun in the meantime.)

[angelhunter]

Not much of a Nick sub-in except that he's a dick incapable of true self-reflection (okay maybe subbier than not, just with more murder) but if you'd like these jackals to circle each other again, his life certainly deserves to be ruined.

[begot]

i mean, "with more murder" is music to my ears — i would love to go for a round two with this pair. do you have a meme/top level you'd prefer to set something up?

also! i thinnnk i owe you a volmer tag if you don't mind how late it is at this point! and if i'm wrong and this means nothing to you PLEASE forget i said anything. 🤡

[angelhunter]

Tossed him up on nonverbal prompts and morning after for whatever strikes your fancy.

It does not mean nothing to me! ♡ I don't mind at all; I'd love to continue. April's a busy month for me so I'm also slugging along at a slow pace and subsisting on backtags myself, for the most part. TY for the spicy threads of dubious probity.

[begot]

perfect! and thank YOU, both for the threads and for your patience!

[sexfiendish]

Journal's not setup yet, please excuse. I'm sure Raphael needs this like he needs a hole in the head.
