June 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 / 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.

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.

clair obscur: expedition 33

[personal profile] versorecto 2025-06-15 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Offering]:
- Verso for all the things (@[personal profile] versorecto)
- Renoir, for more specific things (@[personal profile] patriarche v wip)
SPOILER Character- Real!Verso, for pain (@[personal profile] recto and his 1 icon).


[Looking For]: I'm open to trying out anything, gen/shippy/smutty/kinky, whether it's PSLs, one-off threads or looking out for each other on memes. Am also very open to crosscanon shenanigans if you think you have an appropriate character. And feel free to just add me on plurk TBH ([plurk.com profile] dragonpunch, prefer some heads up so I know where you're coming from), I'd love to make more clair obscur friends, as the French have me by the throat and will never let me go.

More detailed PSL/thread ideas per character follow, please expect ENDGAME SPOILERS.
(these are so rambly, i'm sorry)
Verso
What am I not looking for? Perms & Prefs / Kinks + Open post where I keep some recent meme top levels, and I'm open to talk about ideas you might have, gen or shippy or smutty!

Some specifics ideas:
  • Anyone: Camp conversations and discussions about things light and airy or deep and dark. Exploring AUs where for some reason Verso sucks less and actually tries to tell the truth to his new friends, or is just forced into a situation where he has to reveal them. Pre-Fracture scenarios with various characters, AUing characters into Expedition 0 or pre-Fracture times and meet Verso when he's less depressing and more of a french-flavored fuckboy. Maelle!Ending continuity scenarios, probably deeply angsty, where DepressoVerso is the most miserable man who has ever lived, but maybe interacting with some other characters might help wake some people up, expose some truths, or instead find some new meaning in this new world.
  • Fambly (real or painted): I'm especially missing some cute and painful stuff with Alicia and Clea if any of them are out there. I need Verso and his sisters being cute and/or sad, he loves them so much, pre!Fracture or otherwise. Painful reunions with post-fracture Clea also wanted. Exploring complicated feelings between real/painted family member cross-occurences, negative or positive. Also interested in exploring Verso's gradual fallout with his family, like a big angsty teenager. I'm open to incest trash, hit me.
  • Gustave: What-ifs and missed connections, romantic or otherwise, Verso as a pile of guilt for various reasons. Fix-it AUs but also break-its because I love pain? Exploring jealousy wrt: Gustave as an ideal brother-figure.
  • Lune: Music, questions, interrogations. Moments of comfort or maybe actual feelings. Break-it or fix-it after The Reveal, Verso probably deserves more shit than he actually got in the game lbr.
  • Sciel: Moments of comfort or maybe actual feelings. Some brutal honesty in both directions in the face of Revelations, Verso actually telling her things for Reasons and working it out. Swimming. Sciel being able to read Verso in general and giving him some much deserved shit.
  • Maelle: I'm really interested cute adoptive brother things and bonding early on, and also various post-reveal fallouts. Let him braid her hair, I demand it. Have interesting thoughts regarding Verso seeing Maellicia as distinct from Maelle and exploring that tension: guilt he feels about Maelle as he knew her being gone, Alicia's feelings about him now that she knows that he's a dead brother replacement goldfish, etc, or even RP magic being able to explore a post-act3 Verso interacting with Maelle as she used to be and the guilt involved. I'm also interested in exploring their dynamic *during* Maelle!Ending (its probably bad!).
  • Verso: You heard me. I think characters interacting with themselves is really interesting and Verso is such a bundle of piles and lies with severe problems of selfhood and selfhatred, I think it'd be delicious. Different interpretations of Verso are only a bonus here. Sexy stuff not required, but my arms are always open for selfcest. RP magic can be how it happens, I dunno.
  • Julie: Suffering!!!!!
  • AUs and Things: I feel like I'm very far from exhausting the depths of canon so I've not thought much about AUs that move past the setting, but I am open to things and ideas!

RenoirRenoir exists here for two reasons: Drama, and Filth. Por que no los dos, also available. Painted and real variants available, and in general I'd be feeling him out and voicetesting a bit, I just have a real bug bear for a man with this much Aura.

Want specific family drama scenarios? Takes on scenes all across the Dessendre fallout, being a great and a shit dad simultaneously. Have him deal more directly with any non-family members for some interesting dynamics, too. Deal with an earlier version of him immediately after the Fracture or even before.

Want some filthy, filthy Daddy kink bullshit? I am here. I'd be looking primarily for Verso or Gustave for that, but I'm open to talk regarding other characters. Literal use of "Daddy" not required, its more about the Daddy energy he exudes for me and I'm mostly into the power dynamics in play (and personally on the sliding scale of "sexy daddy words", French scores pretty low). I'm not shy about branching into dub or noncon either.

As always, open to further thoughts and ideas.

SPOILER Character Real!Verso ( HC info / Open ) as he exists outside of the canvas, interacting with your character through RP jamjar magic or through some plot scenario that can be contrived (i.e scaping the fire through the Canvas, the soul fragment just being able to do a lot more than expected). Available in pre-death or post-death varieties. Practically an OC so while I have some HC info written, but I'm open and flexible about making him work for whatever thread we have in mind. Things with him might involve me voicetesting and feeling him out. I cannot drop this man into meme top levels. He is a spoiler atom bomb.

Some Non-Exhaustive Ideas:
  • Verso: Come face your worst nightmare. Hate him for forcing you to live in his shadow, idolize him for being who you were meant to be, both at the same time and every complicated Feeling you can imagine, or just chat to him about family, because he could probably understand you better than anyone can. Also maybe make out with him, if you want?? I love selfcest bullshit, gimme.
  • Fambly: Uhoh. Its actually him. What does he acutally think about you guys fighting over his old Minecraft world like this. Its probably a lot harder to project what you want onto his soul-fragment when the soul-fragment bites back. Or are you mad at him for being the reason you're stuck like this, whether or not he did it himself? Also: exploring happier times outside the Canvas, before and after and surrounding the fire. I am open to incest trash, hit me.
  • Real World Scenarios: Primarily with the Dessendres for obvious reasons but I'm open to AUs, for all we know there are real Lunes and Sciels out there, gimme. We may never know what the Writers vs. the Painters are, but lets make some shit up.
  • Angry vengeful wraith type Verso. Has survived, but only in a Simon-kinda-way. Here to prey on all of your doubts and insecurities especially about him, also some of your own ( like Visages ), and then also like kill you? Listen Real!Verso is in theory a SICK boss fight somewhere deep deep in the canvas, that's what this is.
  • Other: Idk man. Big world out here. Hit me.


[other stuff]: I'm on the lookout for a game for Verso!

GMT+8, mostly present tense and brackets. I tend to be more active in short bursts and then slower for stretches at a time. Best contacted by PM, but feel free to add me on plurk ([plurk.com profile] dragonpunch) if you like after givin me a heads up on who you are, I'd love some more friends from this fandom while I sink deeper into my obsession. I also do Discord, but prefer to keep that for thread partners specifically!

Man, I am incredibly slow but that first option for the spoiler character... (also the idea of Simon, either the one he knows or the one that got twisted, meeting said spoiler character...)

[personal profile] versorecto 2025-06-15 10:15 am (UTC)(link)
Things!! As I myself am often a victim of being slow, I won't necessarily mind a slow thing with ~spoiler character~. Frankly I'm hungry for Versos to interact with him. Cause. Yes.

[personal profile] versorecto 2025-06-15 10:17 am (UTC)(link)
My arms are wide open for Alicia, slow or otherwise!!! We can always try to throw em at memes or smth too if that's more to your preference, but Verso just loves his baby sis so much and I would love to do stuff with em.

Just popping in to say I adore your Verso and your EMP is giving me THOUGHTS.

As a filthy Renoir enjoyer I feel like I need to do this so...

endgame spoilers.
Renoir needs to meet his original right? I know I've pinged you on Plurk but there's so much RP food here.

THANK YOU you flatter me im glad you enjoy my miserable angsty boy even if he's being such a sulk at his dad. in his defense, dad sucks >( (i owe you things, they are still on my radar)

spoilsplurks loading a bit weird for me for whatever reason so this was fine and perfect, and yes!! idk exactly how or in what context, but they need to have some Chats. i will also probably need to, uh, ~borrow~ some icons as i get around to fleshing out the journal heh
betenoir: (Unyielding)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-06-15 10:43 am (UTC)(link)
spoilers.
Feel free! I'm going to make some of the Real Renoir today or tomorrow once I've cleared my game tags. Now he's no longer as much of a walking spoiler. So feel free to snag those too once they're up.

BUT YES. CHATS. Lemme just ramble.

- R!Renoir could begin trying to slip out of his prison by transferring into his Curator projection I guess? Then they meet in the manor or when P!Renoir is skulking around camp.
- I feel they could also have a really interesting conversation if R!Renoir painted him back to have a proper conversation once Aline is knocked out the canvas? R!Renoir knows how BAD it would be mentally [and how bad it would be for the family] for his painted self to actually physically go and try to destroy his own family like that. Cause he only turns up to stop things after he says "celebrate the second destruction" right? I have feels about this scene shhh. Also the implications of repainting himself in general? Yeah that's some dirty drama.
- Imagine if they HAD met in the past before the fracture. All the drama. But Aline didn't like that so she gommaged that memory right out of P!Renoir.
- Both Renoirs are just mad they suck at Gestral Beach Volleyball.

Sitting here with another one icon wonder (I just finished the game okay), but honestly any of yours could be interesting.
VersoSo sorry about the killing people thing. Not. Anyway, Clea is more prickly cactus than cute, but she's here. And doing. her. best. OKAY. Not that any of you CARE. Which is to say, yes, they should either do post-Fracture or encounters over time, particularly with Clea becoming more and more uncomfortable with this version of Verso and it not being her Verso. Also to explore her sheer rage at her representations in the Canvas. She's pretty convinced none of them give a shit about her at all/is distancing herself for her own protection, which Verso could probably pick up on.

RenoirI'm doing my best to help because I'm drowning out here, Papa. And none of you care. Can you at least pretend to care? AKA: Clea has very complicated feelings about Renoir. Both of them.


Spoiler Man
If we want real!Verso shenanigans, Clea is a good impetus. Maybe she's the reason he's angry, wrathful, Simon like Verso. Renoir goes on and on about the dangers of painting, and they all just leave a pissed off Clea to it in the real world with no oversight while coping with her own grief. I'm sure that's a great idea. I can see her doing something like painting multiple Verso copies and somehow combining them to create a 'real' one out of some misguided attempt to a.) get everyone out of the Canvas or b.) show them how fucked up it is to make copies of their loved ones. We know that painters have an impact on their creations, and Clea is angy.

Or could be interesting to discuss the Minecraft fighting, as Clea helped Verso create it and at this point feels it's defiled/warped anyway. The family took the one thing she had with Verso and just destroyed everything good about it to make it all about themselves. Thanks, guys.

you 🤝 me
1 icon and a dream but we must because WE MUST. ALL OF MY GRABBYHANDS FOR A CLEA

lumping the spoilers together
i REALLY like the idea of clea being mad at everyone for the painted copy stuff but then in her own undealt with fury/grief creating an super-copy of her own. at the same time though having some element of the verso in question be for realsies *real* would be part of the drama, so maybe we can figure out something between those. or both!!! clea has o much to explore and i really want to look into verso's dynamic with her, so i'd be down for some kind of psl where we can find ways to throw both painted and real versos at her to explore how they feel about each other and the canvas world and the family being so completely useless.

[personal profile] repaintress 2025-06-16 01:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Now with icons thanks to the kindness of strangers and a Youtube video of 'Expedition 33 but it's just Clea'. (God, I love the Internet.) BEHOLD. The best representation of Clea!

Spoils
Same. Maybe she tries to paint a lot of Versos and merge them in some way, or transport chroma from elsewhere. The ending does kind of indicate the Verso could leave/go places he shouldn't, and if anybody can create some Eldritch half-real horror, it would be Clea. A 'real' Verso that's chained to having to enter a Canvas or something like that. Especially if that hurts Clea, because uh, I don't think fragments of your soul should walk around outside of your body in the real world...

But whatever way we do it, I think the painted Verso would be kind of a template, so she'd go interact with him to observe him. The fucked up thing is I don't know if she'd let on that it was her at first. If we really wanted to twist the knife, she could do this post-game in Maelle's ending. Like yeah, I can still be here. I'm not doing anything about the Maelle situation or your own suffering. Alternatively, her doing it during the events of the game as part of a way to lure the rest of the family out of the canvas. Painted Verso might actually help if it means they'll leave him be and he can rest.

I think their dynamic is really interesting; I feel like Verso knew Clea the best. But also, some of the stuff Clea does, like...you told Alicia you wouldn't have rescued her what the fuck, Clea, you can't say that to her. And Clea feeling like Verso just left them all because they didn't mean as much and she knows that's not it, but grief. I think Verso is the Dessendre that most accepts Clea as human and making mistakes, and that she badly needs that and it's one reason she's so fucked up.

I'd be kicking myself if I didn't at least say hi to the person brave enough to ring the selfcest bell so. Hi. Hello. I'm fairly slow and honestly still kind of feeling Verso out, but if that's all good and you'd like to voicetest [redacted] more I'd be very down!

I'm perfectly okay with slow as I myself can be pretty slow from time to time! I'd be happy to figure out something and throw [redacted] your way, though I feel like for you especially that might be "feeling things out" by fire (oh my god, don't @ me that's just the expression). BUT if you're okay with it then absolutely, lets!!

d'you do plurk or pm? can just keep talking here to figure out something specific, too.
