my life flashes before my eyes


"Could You Take A Life?"

Simple question. Not a very simple thing to answer. Seeing as how many canons — from action to horror — deal with death in one way or another, it's a pretty reasonable thing to ask around these parts.

So, when posed with the question, could you take a life?, how does your character respond? Are they a cold, hard, remorseless killer, someone who's never even thought about murder until now, or something more complex?
  • No blank top-levels.
  • Instead, characters are to respond to the proposed question: could you take a life / could you kill someone?
  • We're asking for honesty here, but it's not as if we have fact-checkers waiting around. Lie if you want. We're not your parents.

Questions and answers



A QUESTION FOR A QUESTION



YOU MAY KNOW EACH OTHER ALREADY - OR YOU MAY NOT. UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, YOU'RE NOW PASSING THE TIME ASKING EACH OTHER QUESTIONS. IT'S A GAME! A QUESTION FOR A QUESTION. YOU START OFF ASKING YOUR OPPONENT A QUESTION OF CHOICE AND IF THEY ANSWER IT, THEY'RE ALLOWED TO ASK YOU A QUESTION IN TURN. THE RULES ARE SIMPLE, ONLY AS LONG AS YOU ANSWER THE OTHER PERSON'S QUESTIONS ARE YOU ALLOWED TO ASK QUESTIONS YOURSELF, BUT THERE IS NO EXPECTATION OF TRUTHFULNESS HERE, LIE IF YOU MUST OR WANT, JUST KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING.

How to play -
1. Comment with your character's name, fandom and preference.
2. If you want, leave a question in the comment field that your character is asking their opponent. Or don't. I'm not the cops.
3. Pick other characters to question and have fun!

Sleep when we die

the i n s o m n i a meme

It happens to everyone - sometimes, you have nights where you just can't fall asleep, no matter what you do. It could be for a number of reasons, or no reason at all. And this is what's happened now: you've been laying in bed for what feels like hours, just tossing and turning, and nothing seems to help. So what's left to do? Get out of bed and go wake someone else up, of course. If you're not getting any sleep, then why should they?


i n s t r u c t i o n s

Post with your character (note the name and fandom in the subject).
Other people reply to you by generating a number from 1 to 10.
• Have fun!


o p t i o n s

01 • FEAR. Maybe you're hearing strange, indeterminable noises; maybe there's a severe storm happening outside; maybe you watched a scary movie before bed? Whatever the reason, you're terrified and it's keeping you awake. You just want to wake someone else up so they can protect you from the monster in your closet.
02 • HUNGER. Your stomach is growling and it just won't stop. Or perhaps your throat is so dry you could cough up a tumbleweed? Well, you've gone to the kitchen to remedy this and hey, that was a pan that just dropped on the floor. It was loud enough to wake the dead! Oops.
03 • PAIN. Your body is completely worn out, be it from exercise, battle, sickness, or what have you. Either way you're in enough pain to keep you from sleeping, so maybe someone else has a home remedy or something, or can at least help you take your mind off of it.
04 • SOLITUDE. For some reason, your bed just feels so empty at the moment. You're feeling terribly lonely and really just want someone to keep you company for a while. Maybe it'd be easier to fall asleep if you're with them...
05 • DISCOMFORT. Your room is an oven. Either that or a freezer. Or maybe this bed is just really uncomfortable? Who knows why you can't get to sleep, it feels like it could be anything. Why even bother trying? Maybe someone else can preoccupy you until you feel tired enough to ignore your discomfort.
06 • PENSIVE. Something's on your mind, and no matter how hard you try to focus elsewhere, it's just not going to work. Your body may be tired, but your mind is incredibly busy and it's virtually impossible to get to sleep. Surely, talking it out with someone else will help?
07 • SADNESS. Something terrible has happened that day, perhaps; or you could just be severely depressed. Either way you're trying your hardest not to cry yourself to sleep, and it's not working at all. Better find a way to get it out of your system somehow; you need a shoulder to cry on.
08 • ANGER. You are just... fuming. Who knows why - that annoying dog is barking again, or maybe the people next door are getting busy and keeping you awake. Whatever the reason for your ire is, you'd better put an end to it so you can get some damn rest already! Go wake up a friend so you can complain to them.
09 • RESTLESS. You're far too energetic to sleep right now. Maybe you're just trying to do so out of necessity - you have to be up early tomorrow! But you just don't think you'll be able to fall asleep for a while now, so why waste the time trying to sleep when you could be doing something else? Namely bothering someone else - you're totally jealous because they're getting more sleep than you.
10 • WILDCARD. Choose one of the options above, or make up your own scenario.

(un)likely

IS LOVE LIKELY?




Hold up a mirror. Look into it. Really stare at it, taking in every detail, every curve of your face.

Because we're about to do some self-reflection, gang.

HOW TO PLAY
✱ Comment with all the regs.
✱ Instead of topping and dropping, however, you're character is about to (probably traumadump and) dissect the the following topic with the scalpel of honesty: how likely is it that they'll find lifelong happiness with The One.
✱ Be real.
✱ Be really real.
✱ Don't worry, you're among friends. We'll tell anyone if they're actually Unlovable.

THEY'RE ALL BOTTOMS


dominant or submissive | a high-concept, highbrow meme



don't front. you know exactly what this is.

the rundown
1. for numerous, cosmically complex reasons that form a domino effect — or just because it's fucking hilarious — an unknown force has compelled your character to admit if they're dominant or submissive. some will try to lie and immediately be corrected (humiliation is probable). others will be honest. all will be revealed.
2. others express their interest, disinterest, shock, awkward downward spiral. have a casual conversation. hook up! live, laugh, love!
3. if you leave a blank top comment i will literally come piss on your computer.
4. no matter what, switches are important and valid.

I'm leaving.

red flag, green flag



how to play
- NO BLANK TOP LEVELS. Your character needs to, for whatever reason, list what they count as red or green flags in a potential romantic situation (or situation, general).
- Everyone provides feedback on their ability to survival social hangups or love life quagmires.
