☁ THE RELATIONSHIP MEME

SHAMELESSLY GANKED FROM bakerstreet

Dramatic or cracky, there are options for everyone who has a sudden itching to play out some ships.

↘ Post your character below, listing their name and series in the subject.
↘ Others respond after going to random.org and entering 1-16 for a scene or just picking one that seems appropriate

● 01 I HAVE A CONFESSION | There's someone you really like and it's finally time to tell them! It can be spur of the moment or elaborately planned out.
● 02 START OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL | You've just got together and everything is great! You can't stop thinking about each other or keep your hands off your significant other. You want to spend all the time you can together, doing whatever!
● 03 CAN'T GET IT UP | It happens to everyone, honest! For whatever reason, you just haven't been able to perform or maybe you're just not interested in sex. Is it because things are dull? Is it because you're not attracted to your partner? Or have you just been too busy or stressed out?
● 04 SAW YOU LAST NIGHT | You think you saw your partner in the arms of another - was it an honest mistake or is something honestly going on here?
● 05 FIRST TIME | It's the first kiss or the first time making love with your partner and you're so nervous and awkward, you're sure you'll mess it up! Maybe you do, but that's okay... they like you, right?
● 06 ANNIVERSARY | Two week, two month, two year, or whatever number you decide, that's how long you've been together with your partner and you want to do something special to celebrate it!
● 07 WANT YOU BACK | You broke up, but it was a mistake. You need to correct it ASAP... will your lover take you back though?
● 08 JUST MARRIED | Just married! Is it the wedding night? The honeymoon? You decide!
● 09 BAD ROMANCE | You're no good for each other and you know it! Unfortunately, your relationship is so sizzling, you can't break it off and you don't even want to.
● 10 FIGHT | You're both in one of those moods where you just want to sit around fighting over every little thing... bills or money, friends, your partner staying out too late, or whatever you can think of!
● 11 LET'S MAKE UP | Of course making up is the best part though! Whatever it was is totally forgotten now.
● 12 HONEY, I'M... | You've been feeling a little funny for a bit, so you take a pregnancy test and... oh no! Or is it 'oh great!'? Time to tell your partner either way...
● 13 ABOUT LAST NIGHT | Time to face that one night stand...
● 14 CHEATER | You're not being cheated on! You're the other person meddling with someone's lover! But for whatever reason, you just can't say no even if you know you should...
● 15 OBJECTIONS | You're facing a lot of objections to your relationship and it's starting to put a strain on it. Why don't you sit down and discuss it, see if you can work it out?
● 16 HAVE TO LET YOU GO | You have to break up with your partner... not because you want to! But because you need to protect them... can you do it successfully? Will they find out? You decide!

Someone has to make up for everyone else's bad decisions.

oh donny

[fayeshionista]

<sub>[Some might call Faye distant, and they'd be right, to some degree. What she isn't, though, is scared, apprehensive, or wary of being physically close to others for its own sake. She's frequently in their personal space, touching, prodding, poking, and moving them to doing what she needs them to that simply being near someone isn't enough to bother her. She shifts and adjusts, directs others to where and how they need to be.

Now isn't the first time for exceptions.

With a swift motion, she firmly moves to catch Donovan's wrists in her hands and direct them closer to her body, but without making contact. There. She's given him a bit of a hint on the where, and she'll leave it to him to do the how.]</sub>

[artful_transgressor]

[Lyn gets up and follows Komesh, still holding the wriggler. He's amazed by how light it is...jegus, it really is incredibly little. How old? A couple perigees, if that?]

I guess... [Lyn sounds dubious. He's used to mostly acquiring things by stealing; certainly not by ordering things online. That would require giving an address, which he doesn't exactly have. Worse, Lyn isn't sure what resources even exist for trolls taking care of a wriggler - that isn't how it usually works, so how much advice or supplies are they likely to find?] Also, what do you mean, warm?

[fayeshionista]

<sub>[Dig at her? Dig at her.

And sge deserves every last one of them.]</sub>

Aren't we practical.

[absentultima]

[He wraps his arms around her, nuzzling into her hair comfortingly. He means it.]

[absentultima]

[He starts drawing the water once he puts his pad down, smiling back at Lyn and the wiggler. So cute.]

[artful_transgressor]

Oh. [Lyn feels like a bit of an idiot for not realizing Komesh was asking about the water temperature.] Yeah, s'fine if you're okay with it. [The thing about him not dealing well with cold is sadly true. Lyn's too small and too thin to hold his body heat well; anything below temperate and he gets miserable quickly.] And I guess we wouldn't really want to go hot or cold anyway until we know what caste the wriggler is. [Not that Lyn is any sort of expert on wrigglers, but surely something this tiny and fragile has to be pretty susceptible to extreme temperatures, right?

He flushes a bit under that smile of Komesh's. He knows damn well he's probably being given some level of adorable rating in the other troll's thinkpan(although there's always the chance that Komesh is only directing the gaze at the wriggler). Generally, he hates being thought of as cute in any way...but if it's an affectionate observation from someone he likes, he'll usually let it slide. It's rare enough for people to genuinely like anything about him (and for him to like them back) that he's not going to risk calling whatever it is they do like about him into question.]

[absentultima]

[He draws the water, keeping it shallow enough that the wiggler can move on his own without much chance of drowning. They'll be watching after all.

Then he waves Lyn over with another smile, his hands too wet to bother with writing.]

[starstorm]

[ sobbbbb how does she even. she takes a few moments to just rest against him while she wills her blush to fade. eventually she lifts her head just enough to peek at his throat, and she frowns upon seeing the scarring there.

hesitating briefly, she leans back in to awkwardly kiss one of the scars. ]

[absentultima]

[He shivers when she kisses the scars, but after a moment of tension, relaxes and nuzzles her hair some more. His fingers slide through her hair too, and along the base of her horns.]

[starstorm]

[ she giggles a little in response, and just pecks at his throat again before lifting her head to look at him. her face is still flushed, but she smiles as she places her hands on either side of his face. ] Nobunny's said that to Niknik before.

[absentultima]

[He blushes hard when she does that and after a moment moves to trace "true" on her cheek.]

[starstorm]

[ she leans into the touch, her own blush deepening again. this time, she doesn't look away, instead gently pulling his face forward to tentatively peck his lips. ]

[absentultima]

[He kisses her back, slow, soft, and sweet. This is nice. He could get used to this.]

[starstorm]

[ she squeaks a little in response, but doesn't break away - it is pretty nice even though she has no idea what she's doing. her glasses have gone completely forgotten; she lets them drop from her hands as she wraps her arms around his neck again, closing her eyes. ]

[absentultima]

[He has little idea of what he's doing, but it feels nice and she likes it so he keeps it up. Slow, gentle kisses. His fingers slide up along her shoulders and into her hair, and then down her back in slow caresses, and he'd make a happy sound at the arms around her neck if he could.]

[starstorm]

[ she squirms slightly at the touches - not that they're uncomfortable, just that she's not particularly used to this. it's a little overwhelming for her, and eventually she pulls away. but she's still smiling as she rests her forehead against his, one hand moving up the back of his neck. ]

[enlivenedaltruist]

Not at all! In the least! It would....it would definitely be a pleasure!

[enlivenedaltruist]

...

[Chrysi pauses for a moment, burying her face in her hands and trying to physically push back the tears she can feel stabbing at her eyes.]





You


really mean that?

[enlivenedaltruist]

I've known them since we could toddle.
They're not...
...
...okay, they're kiiiiind of shady, but they respect my polite but firm refusals!
......wait did you just saAE;KJRHUOWRIGRWFnfjenf

SORRY.
sorry!
I kind of...dropped my phone. For a second.
But, did you just say you were okay with this?

[enlivenedaltruist]

[She lingers, before pulling back. She lets her fingers drift back and forth over those fins idly, just smiling at him.]

So, are there any troll courtship rituals I owe you?

[fayeshionista]

[You're caught in the moment like it's a metal trap, and teeth of reality are digging into everything that you are. A part of you, the smart part just wants to run away. Whatever it takes, whatever you need to cut off from yourself to leave behind to do it will be worth it. Even if it's your heart. Especially if it's your heart. You don't have much of one left anyway, and where's it gotten you whole? Shattered, worthless pieces for escape, and then peace. It's a perfect trade. What more could you want? Nothing. This is exactly what you want. You've said your piece, so much, much more than was deserved.

Pain is an excellent teacher, but only if you remember to avoid having to learn the exact same lessons over and over. You're not an idiot, not like this. You can go. You should go.

Just.

Leave.]

Yes.

Yes, I do. Always.

[enlivenedaltruist]

....
You're an amazing person, Faye.
In so many ways...
All of the ways!
I don't...
I wonder, would you believe me if I told you I never for a second thought I deserved you?
You're...always in control.
You always have a plan. A meticulous, masterfully orchestrated agenda, with room and contingencies for any eventuality.
You're this...
This elegant, brilliant, beautiful, caring person.
And I'm...
Well, I'm kind of slow.
When it comes down to things like this, I'm just...
Just a scared little kid who has no idea what to do.
I mess up.
And



And this time I really hurt you.
And...And I know, that with time, I could probably fix this.
You would probably forgive me for panicking and shoving you away.
But...



I don't think I deserve that chance.
I'm sorry, Faye.
I really, really am.

[celestialcavalier]

Exactly, I'm a completely terrible human being, incredibly easy to hate.

[ He laughs, shrugging. ]

Or something like that. Troll relationships are weird.

[celestialcavalier]

Is your phone okay?
No scratches or anything?
Uh, yeah I said I'm okay with this?
I know for sure I'll fuck things up a few times.
But I can't just say no.
