April EMP Meme
FOR GAME ADS: ➤ Put an ad up with the characters / crew / pairings / kink 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 fonts and other html that make ads super long, 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 canon 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. ➤ There is a "Pairings You Want to Play" section, where you can ask for castmates or crosscanon you'd like to ship with. Please format this with "[YOUR CANON] seeking [CASTMATE/OTHER CANON (if crosscanon)/SEE DESCRIPTION (if a general character type)]. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Pairings You Want to Play" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. Alongside castmates and crosscanon, you can choose to ask for OCs or general character types as well. Try not to get too wordy and please don't outline entire scenarios. ➤ 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. ➤ The meme is for fiction-based RP only (with the only exception being involvement of fictionalized historical figures or historical settings.) Celeb or RPF RP advertising, whether for games or players, is not allowed. MOD CONTACT: If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

Kingdom Hearts
[Looking For]: Saix/Isa, Organization XIII (but others are welcome) for casual meme or museboxing.
Recently in game I've been having a blast playing Axel (from KHII) exploring the 'secret report' concept that "A Nobody might regrow their heart naturally over time," like the transitional phase to being 'recompleted'; and I'd love to extend that storyline for other Nobody's to mess with. Really, though, I'm happy to play any canonpoint! Just let me know what AU/game/timeline you prefer and I'll find a way to slide into it.
For Org members, I think Days-verse domestic work antics have a lot of potential to be fun. Just griping about assigned missions/other members/eachother/Xemnas' boring monologues.
I've found it's very easy to take a bakerstreet prompt and just dress it up as 'that days mission', or a 'dark corridor' misfire so we can always use that to kick things off.
And of course my KINGDOM
heartsfor a Saix/Isa! Give me divorce, newly formed Nobodies, bitchy sniping, angst over misunderstandings, healing together; I want it all! Tell me your jam and I'm sure I can improvise something.That's just the top of the wishlist though, I'm not against other castmates (And can write Lea too!) Just drop me a meme link or tell me what interests you.
[preferences]:
Not looking for anything super in depth; no need to commit to anything here. Knowing what you might be looking for just makes it easier for me to hit you up around bakerstreet.
Fluff/angst/gen I can follow any tone. I tend to be pretty prose heavy but you don't have to be! I can write action scenes too.
I'm not one for usually getting smutty or explicit (it could be argued Nobody's don't feel much attraction anyway) but I'm not against a little leadup if things get shippy.
I THOUGHT that username was familiar
Considering the nature of the topic, Vexen/Even would be primed for threads of that nature, since it's a headcanon I had way back when Days and Re:CoM came out anyway.
Luxord would be better suited to more casual threads, though if have to set up his journal(whoops)
Heyyyyy :>
Let's see, yeah for Luxord it would be easiest to pair up for missions. I'll try to make use of his talents (Though both being equally unqualified for something is amusing too) Text memes for daily org life could work too! Is there any particular aspect of his character you would want to focus on?
Man and Vexen. I would love bouncing off any flavor of him. You're right we can go a research route, be horrible teammates or glorious post COM drama. God I wouldn't mind playing Lea off Even in the KH3 setting either, because BOY do they have things to discuss!
Alternate ways of waking up recompleted could be an easy way to use a meme too (I'm alive? you're alive?! Where the HELL are we???) we could always build into an AU from there.
We've got options!
Hm I want to keep this easy and stressfree as possible, so how about I just message you a link if I top level somewhere and you can pick whoever you're feeling for it?
You can do the same for me, and we won't have any obligation to answer. It'll just be a way of letting the other know the option is there if they want it. Would that work for you?
(Also, I'm more than happy to still play off your Reno. I couldn't get overly flirty or violent in game but I'm much more willing to bend rules in memeland)
no subject
Luxord would be good to bounce off of in his own ways. I haven't read the manga so forgive me, but I do know that he has a perceptive and clever analytical side, and combined with his more lax nature and penchant for games of chance, he would be good for conversation and character building scenes. Unfortunately I can't say 100% how dedicated he is to Xemnas/Xehanort in canon, but he seems to more or less just exist there and doesn't show loyalty to any particular side. Worth a risk I would say, and otherwise unrelated to any politics going on in the castle(since he complains in days about being bottom ring on the gossip ladder), which might be a boon for Axel.
Vexen would indeed be the real prize here, though. Him and Evan both. I'm totally down for anything in CoM, Days, or even hand waving one of Vexen's replicas as being active during KHII(I haven't read the manga, but I know about those). Otherwise if you want to work on a slow burn reconciliation between Evan and Lea, I would absolutely be game. Evan and Vexen both...bear hellatious grudges, so. I mean. He'll have one hell of a pissy and bitter old man on his hands.
I can easily handwave Ienzo as encouraging Even to given Lea a chance and be civil, so that can be what we use to keep pushing them together.
Evan would probably be the only person actively holding him accountable for what he did at the castles, so. That could be excellent for Lea's development if you want to play with that. If not, Even would just stay begrudgingly professional w him, as he isn't someone who can let things go. His joke weapon in Days is extremely fitting and telling, as he is a sensitive person underneath those layers.
Some reconciliation for Even would be nice. He'd make Lea WORK for it, and even take a lot of anger out on him. Ienzo and others can push Even to apologize for trying to put Lea on the cross for it. It would be nice to get them to a point where Lea can see Even's warmer and more confident side. The side that can handle crises in stride, can be protective and fussy and nagging because he cares. I do like playing w his eccentricities and theories as well, so getting Even to a point where he would be comfortable chattering w Lea about his research and theories would be nice, tho even after getting on good terms, Even has a way of talking down to people without meaning to.
I'm good with memes and PSLs, or swapping between the two or jumping between threads and AUs, so just let me know. If you ever wanna link a thread to me, go for it, and we can do memes with continuity or treat them as scenes from different points in the timeline. I can also make a thread in my muse box and we can link memes and just reply there as well if you want.
I'm extremely flexible. Also, my Vexen journal is

You're so right about Luxord. The fact Axel knows so little about him is honestly a plus. After Saix being Xemnas' lapdog 24/7 Axel would definitely find it refreshing to be around someone who doesn't care that much about loyalty (even if he may be guarded at first). A boon indeed :> We can try winging some simple stuff until we flesh out a dynamic.
Damn though, I think you got me with the slowburn Even Lea reconciliation. That sounds like a LOT of fun. I love arguments and having to talk a character down/convince them of something, so please be as pissy and grudgy as you want, I will absolutely put in the work.
It's easy to make bracket text jabs at Vexen/Even but I know there's way more to him. I thought the fic "Waking" by Moonybird did a great job of humanizing Even without softening or excusing any of his eccentricities. It really made me understand him more as a character; as you said he IS dedicated, resourceful and sensitive, Axel just never had the heart or motive to see it (LEA would be willing to TRY!)
Headcanonwise, I always wondered if some of their animosity comes from Axel subconciously knowing that Lea lost his heart due to the research the members were doing (and Even being so pro-science may as well have pulled the trigger in his brain, even if not literally) And likewise Vexen has probably always pegged Lea for a delinquent. It's obvious he has no respect or passion for the pursuit of knowledge! When he and Isa posed as apprentices, Isa might have been believable but Even probably could tell straight away Lea wasn't there for that. Vexen might have found that insulting. (But that's just my thoughts!)
It would be great if we could use your musebox for it. I have a few starter concepts I think could work, but I'll message you them on discord. First I wanted to check real quick if there are any spoilers I should avoid? I believe you're caught up to 3, right?
In the meantime, you can always find any memes I top level with: Here!
And I have a section for dropping links if there is anything you ever want me to see too
Re: Kingdom Hearts
I'm cool with bakerstreet, sixwordstories and any other muse boxes I'm unaware of. I'm down for general or shipping as long as it feels right. Seriously, Demyx and Axel used to be my crackhead jam back in the day, so it'll be nice to just interact with the two of them again.
Looking forward to hearing your reply. I hope you feel like playing with this old school kh rper.
no subject
It's so funny, when you look at their shared character traits, they really SHOULD have been friends. Demyx's intense laziness/potential for throwing anyone under the bus to stay lazy contrasting Axel's intense apathy/denial of his own issues (until Roxas came around and woke him up) just really got in the way of that. In early Org days, the members couldn't be anything but self-serving, it's not their fault.
But yes their potential for hijinks is immense. I absolutely get why they were such a popular crack jam. I've recently been enjoying a fic where it's them and Larxene out on the three man mission (the banter is as hilariously chaotic as you would expect)
That all sounds great to me! I set up a dedicated thread in my journal for posting top levels: Here! Feel free to link things there. I also have plurk if you just prefer pinging me.
I notice you already posted to the sunset and h/c meme while I was setting this up, so I'll hit you up there to kick things off :>
Are you caught up on all the games? Any spoilers I need to wary of? I've replayed them all and read the manga so I can follow any continuity.
no subject
I agree! They should have been friends. I probably wrote a fanfic or two back in the day of Demyx pulling a heart out of Axel's pants but that's as far as my head canon sharing goes. Imo they had to at least be acquaintances. There's no way that they weren't, man.
lol! of course, I love the banter between Larxene and Demyx. She's so damn mean. I secretly think she has a crush on Demyx to be fair.
I'll check it out. I don't have plurk, but I should really get one.
Yes, yes I did. I'm going to respond now. <3
I'm all caught up. No worries about spoilers.
