July EMP Meme

ENABLEMEPLZ

meme goes up on the last 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.

ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding (no font size > size 4 or 3 "big" tags, no banners, no blinking text, no obnoxious tables, no sparklies, no 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 frozen and/or deleted.

FOR CHARACTER ADS:

Put up an ad about the characters you are offering. For PSL/1-on-1 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/1-on-1 section, where you post the 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.

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 screened.

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 screened.

Fun story? I kind of agree with you on all the points you've made, and honestly Gray is sort of my least likely to ship with Erza kind of character. xD Like, I'd think Luxus, Lucy, Loke, and Kagura have better chances than Gray does, but he's a slightly stronger muse in my head than them. I don't even bother mentioning Gajeel because he and Erza don't really interact, and he's canon confirmed to have Levy (and possibly babies soon). It's also funny because I have two folders for Gray ships, Gray x Juvia, and Gray x Crack (everyone besides Juvia).

You're also correct with Erza x Natsu (even if it's my greatest weakness), because it's probably the relationship that would go the slowest and need the most... work. Like even if the two of them were to hang out constantly they still wouldn't even realize they were dating each other, even if someone were to point it out they'd be like, "What? No, we're just friends." A relationship between them needs a huge sort of catalyst like the tower of heaven arc, or something of that nature. It could happen, but neither party are actively seeking it, and usually Natsu needs to be beaten over the head with romance for it to stick. Like Lissanna coming on super strong when they were kids was the main reason he developed a crush on her, but I'd say Lissanna as an adult doesn't really have all that much interest in him. Lucy's probably got romantic feelings for him, but Natsu is Natsu, and unless Lucy makes it painfully obvious that she wants that from him, he's not gonna get anywhere. In a Natsu/Erza scenario Natsu would probably have to be the one to seek out Erza because that's the way Erza is, and it's just not canonically very likely. TL;DR of this paragraph, Erza x Natsu is incredibly slow and not likely to get anywhere unless lots of outside modifiers push them together.

I would address Jellal x Erza, but you've pretty much summed it up perfectly. They're both sort of fail and shy with each other, so their relationship is definitely there, but almost as slow as Natsu/Erza.

So now we come down to Mira/Erza which I'm also willing to play, but it might end up slow romantically because... Erza. Sexually though, the two are... ^^; well... yeah... I think I summed it up best with Natsu where I said they basically try to top one another but they've matured past trying to do it via brawling, and do it in a more sexual bdsm context. That's not to say their relationship would be all sex, it's just it would take some transitioning for Erza's brain to realize what it was Mira wanted from her. Mirajane would probably have to pursue the relationship angle, but fortunately that's entirely plausible for Mirajane to do.

^ Have some short stories I wrote for fun on the idea of how Mirajane and Erza could possibly end up on a date together. Honestly, I don't really expect you to be all that good at writing ships, because Erza isn't very good with it herself. It's sort of a thing that she's not really with it when it comes to romance, even if she reads all sorts of trashy romance novels that Levy lends her. She's sort of socially awkward because she kept her heart encased in Armor for so long, and then opened up to the point where it confuses most people. She's a complex character and you handle her masterfully, so I think any ships that you'd be willing to try would probably still be VERY ic for Erza, and that's all I'm really looking for.

So I'm going to look at throwing in Mirajane, and she might slowly try to win Erza over because Erza's one of her few guildmates here, and she's fun even when she's the one on top. >:3 Sound reasonable?

(One final note, I'm fairly certain that Genessia is a SFW kind of comm, so I expect any sort of weird nsfw stuff the two might get up to would have to be played elsewhere if we wanted to actually play such things out rather than just letting it be assumed as to what happened.)

I agree with you on all of these (though I haven't really considered the Natsu x Lisanna or Natsu x Lucy shipping stuff; can't comment on that) - even if there's a lot supporting Erza x Jellal in canon, it seems like playing it out in a game would take a lot of time. In nearly eleven years of story, and even counting all of the omakes, the most they've got in terms of acting on their feelings would be the two of them nearly kissing (or actually kissing, but it wasn't clear), and Jellal falling into Erza's chest once or twice. Kagura has gotten further with Erza than that.

The rules on that sort of thing are listed here, but if it ever gets to that point, I figure it's better to leave anything NSFW implied to be on the safe side. (if there's any NSFW stuff that you want to thread out, we can use memes for that sort of thing)

I figure it would probably take a decent amount of build-up no matter who you go with, (given that Erza's either awkward or oblivious about this sort of thing) but I'm up for trying it if you are.

Sounds like it's gonna be a fun time! I've been working at making my icons a bit more sfw, and have thrown Mirajane into the taken list.
redhairedknight: (is that a challenge?)

[personal profile] redhairedknight 2017-08-03 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
All right! I'm heading to bed now, but I've let the people who play Mavis and Zeref know that you're interested. I look forward to threading stuff out in Genessia!

That's okay, Pain (Zeref) is already a friend of mine on Plurk. Goodnight!
