[personal profile] memester posting in [community profile] bakerstreet
Word Association is a common word game involving an exchange of words that are associated together. The game is based on the noun phrase word association, meaning "stimulation of an associative pattern by a word" or "the connection and production of other words in response to a given word, done spontaneously as a game, creative technique, or in a psychiatric evaluation."
~ our lord and saviour wikipedia


GUIDELINES
    ① post with your character's name & series.
    ② include a word of your choice and optionally the definition in the body of your comment.
    -- visit the random word generator if you need help!
    ③ other characters will reply with the first word their character associates with the one you chose.
    ④ continue back and forth until one of you just has to know the story behind an answer.

Though we know that we shouldn't play favorites, we always do.

RULES

✔ someone wants a demo, mayhaps?

why i'm single


these assumed relationship movies, well, assume a lot. like you're even capable of being in a relationship, for starters.

how to play:
➬ no rocket science here. your character tells us why they're single. they can...fudge details, of course! of course.
➬ everybody shares their hot take on whether your character's singlehood is deserved or not. you never know, they could even volunteer to remedy the situation!

Mutual healing

[personal profile] sockfromarose posting in [community profile] bakerstreet


Mutual Healing Meme
Healing doesn't come quickly, whether the need comes from physical or mental wounds. But you're trying regain your strength - and yourself.

People, as a general rule, are kind, or at least not outright inflammatory to you, it seems. Still, you just can't connect with them. No matter how nice, how caring, they don't understand. They've never experienced anything like what you've gone through, or they're not like you in a way that lets them see what you still go through; they have no frame of reference. Sure, they have sympathy, but it's not the same. So there's no real connection, despite any friendliness. It's so easy, then, to feel detached...

...until you meet them, in this place of both death and healing.

They may not have been through the exact same struggles, they may not be exactly the same as you, but they know what darkness is light. How they handle this fact may be better or worse than how you do, yet you can see yourself in their actions. And for once? There's connection; more than that, too. Slowly, you can feel yourself opening up towards them, and then, falling for them.

Is this something your used to? Will you fight your feelings, or will you jump at the opportunity to be with someone who can begin to get you? You may have little choice in the matter, as your instincts may just reach out to be with whatever compatible contact you can get. That's better, in the long run, though. Who else could have wounds like yours?

  • Essentially, it's what it says: a "romance," in the loose definition, or "shipping" meme for characters who have been through the wringer or have hangups.
  • Reply with your character, preferences, and any info you want to include. Remember, the more information, the more taggable you are.
  • Respond to others.
  • Thread.

Don't get caught

On The Run Meme

Maybe something went wrong, or maybe it's just another normal day in your life, but you've found yourself on the run. Did you commit a crime, or cross the wrong person, or simply end up in the wrong place at the wrong time? Whatever the reason behind your situation is, your goal is the same: don't get caught.
 
How To Play
• Comment with your character, and if you're feeling ambitious put in a bit of a starter. Who are you running from and why?
• Respond to others, either as their partner on the run or part of the force chasing them.
• Have epic adventures, fall in love, utterly fail and get caught. See how it goes!
• RNG for some extra unpredictable fun.


Scenarios

1. Running from the cops. You broke the law, whether it was shoplifting or murder, and now you've got a warrant out for your arrest.
2. Attracted the wrong attention. You made someone angry, or obsessed, or otherwise drawn their ire and now they're after you.
3. Somewhere or somewhen. You've ended up in a place and/or time in which you're not welcome.
4. Wildcard!

Relationships
1. Friends (or more.) You've known each other for awhile and are on good terms, so hopefully you can rely on each other in this situation.
2. Circumstantial allies. Strangers, enemies, or otherwise you've ended up in this mess together, and it might benefit you both to cooperate.
3. Opposite sides. One of you is the runner, and the other is pursuing. Which will prevail?
4. Wildcard!

Complications

1. Late to the party. How many people did you piss off? In addition to whoever was already after you, someone else now is as well. Maybe they'll take each other out?
2. Confrontation. They've found you, and it's come down to a fight.
3. Disguise. You can't evade them, but you can hope they won't recognize you. Better be a good actor!
4. Wildcard!

    Happy Saturday!

    I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!

    If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

    In Love with the Gangster's Girl
    From the moment you first set eyes on them, you've been drawn - but this is no meet-cute. They are completely unavailable to you: they're sworn to a duty, already spoken for (by someone powerful or evil, no doubt), precious cargo, a caged bird kept away from prying eyes, a possession of a wicked creature. Whatever the case, they are off-limits. The problem is...they are struck by you, too.

    Will you fight your feelings, or will you free them so they can be with you? Either way, there's a high probability of it all going up in flames.

    HOW TO PLAY
    • Comment with your character, preferences, role, and any other information to make you more taggable.
    • Reply to others.
    • RNG if desired.
    • This meme is slightly inspired by this trope, but the setting can be anywhere and the genre anything.

    CONNECTIONS


    Hey, don't I know you from somewhere?


    Sure, first meetings can be fun to play out. On the other hand, those of us who crave those deeper relationships between characters often can't find it in crossovers or superficial canon interactions. No need to fret about those inconveniences in this meme. Around these parts, everybody knows your name - no, not Cheers. Sorry. I mean that all characters know each other.

    They're connected, somehow.

    HOW TO PLAY
    - Comment with your character, preferences, what manner of assumed CR is okay with you. To ease tag ins even further, you might want to give examples of what kind of relationships your character would have, but that's not a hard prerequisite.
    - Others tag in using the dialogue examples below to spark a thread where two old associates match up once more?
    - Tag around.

    Weakness

    Mar. 13th, 2026 08:29 am
    [personal profile] eddiestrangerthings posting in [community profile] bakerstreet
    "you're my weakness" meme

    You're a strong person, perhaps physically, perhaps mentally, perhaps both. You're brave. A steel rod of a backbone means you face your enemies with little hesitation, doing the job no one else wants to do. That kind of intestinal fortitude is commendable. You have a purpose. You have a mission. There is something about you that people want.

    And you have a weakness.

    Maybe nobody knows it or maybe everyone knows it, but your weakness is the person you're in love with. Yes, in love. Someone like you can be in love, whether you've admitted it to yourself or not...or to them. More than anything, you want to be with them and keep them safe from harm. Sometimes, you just can't. It's more dangerous around you than with you.

    Whether you're together or not, you should hope that no one with an axe to grind with you knows that this person is your blind spot...

    HOW TO PLAY
    • Comment with your character, preferences, whether you're open to smut or no, etc.
    • Be sure to mention if you'd prefer to play the one with the weakness or the "weak spot."
    • Reply to others.
    • Use the RNG or not.


    PROMPTS
    ship
    1. First Meeting: You've never met a person who's caught your interest quite like this; you may not know how to respond to these unique feelings.
    2. With Them Before It Happened: They came first. The situation that drove you to your "destiny" occurred later. You can't just throw away that old life.
    3. Unexpected Savior: You were down and out. They found you and nursed them back to health. You feel indebted to them..and more.
    4. Normalcy is Abnormal: You would never take things like dinner, picnics, dancing, or the movies for granted. Some people can't have that, after all.
    5. Missed Date: Of course, you have to bail out on dates occasionally. Duty calls.
    6. Shown Love: Who could ever care for someone like you? They can. They show you selfless affection
    7. Bad Apple: You’re rotten through and through - except for your genuine love for them.
    8. Light of My Life: Everything in this world seems terrible except for them, you’re beautiful, shining light. For them, you can live.
    9. Something There: Before, you were cruel to them, or they to you, yet now both of you see past that blustery beast (even if one of you was, say, a prisoner);
    10. Keepings Tabs: You have to know that your most important person is safe, or else you just can’t think straight.
    11. Stay Away: For their own protection, they have to keep away from a dangerous person like you. So no matter if you love them of they love you, you have to break up with them for their safety.
    12. Happened Before: The person you loved before got hurt because of you and you swore you would never love again. Still, you’re feeling that way once more, letting those walls down, and the old patterns are repeating themselves over and over.
    13. Important: You’re a king, a lord, a president, a top assassin. People would love to get close to you - or take you out - if they could find the right path in.
    14. Bodyguard: Your mission is the one you love (though you didn’t start out loving them), and the one thing keeping you from keeping them perfectly safe is also them.
    15. Berserk Button: From minor slight to major injury, no one hurts your lover without retribution.
    16. Left in the Dark: They don’t know what kind of life you truly lead. How long can you keep that double life a secret?
    17. Became This for Them: What you are now is all out of your adoration for them. You’ll do anything to keep them safe, even if it means becoming a monster.
    18. Not Accepted: You’ve finally revealed what you are in all actuality to them and the reaction was not positive. They’re repulsed by you or by what you’ve done.
    19. Dynamic Duo: They’ve accepted everything about you, including your mission. In fact, they want to help you fulfill your purpose.
    20. Family: You two have started a family together, so there's even more to lose.
    21. Blackmail: Some sinister somebody is holding the happiness, safety, or wellbeing of your loved one above your head to make you serve them.
    22. Hate Me: It’s not enough to leave them. You have to ensure their safety by making them despise you and never search you out.
    23. Destroy: You know that they could be your undoing, so you'll take them out yourself. You refuse to be weak.
    24. Kidnapped: Your weakness has been spotted and picked at, quite literally. Now, the person you care for is in the clutches of someone who wants nothing more than to see you destroyed.
    25. Bad End: Is it in bad taste to want to name this prompt after a certain comic book character? The worst of your fears has come to past. Your beloved is dying in your arms because of their relationship with you and you weren't able to save them in time.
    26. Placed in Your Life: The one you thought you loved and trusted was only a mole all along. They were placed in order to get you to make certain decisions and never really cared for you.
    27. Happy Ending: You've made it to a safe enough place in your life for you and your love to be stable and settle down.


    smut
    1. Reluctant: You don't want to hurt your partner during intimacy, which is a distinct possibility.
    2. Solace: There's only one place where you find comfort about what your true nature is, and that's in their arms.
    3. Manipulation: There's one way to worm into your heart and onto your good side; they know it, and they can make you squirm. That's not always a good thing.

    The Dating Game-Show Jamjar Meme



    You know the story— a bunch of hot people get a TV show contract and show up to a closed set to spend a few weeks getting hot and bothered over the available bachelor/ettes. Now, forget that story.

    Your character has been asked or forced to appear on a televised game show for the pleasure of an interdimensional audience. They must find love, or at least fail at it entertainingly enough for the audience to not vote them off the show! Perhaps elimination will mean death, or maybe it'll just send them to the Loser Corner where there are no cool drinks but also no more pressure to fuck.

    Whatever flavor of game show you prefer, this meme is for a Love Island style drama— or perhaps even getting around the jealous love triangle vibes and sabotaging by romancing the whole cast. The world is your oyster.

    the bodyguard meme



    You're a pop star, or a royal, or maybe even the last of your kind who will bring about the Earth's redemption. Whatever the case may be, you're in a position that may be a bit dicey if you attract the wrong kind of attention.

    And you're a bodyguard, a soldier, a knight - a protector. Somehow, you've been roped into protecting this person. You'll be rewarded, of course. The work may be cut out for you, but just do your job, keep your head down, and it'll go smooth.

    Except for when the two of you break the bounds of professionalism and feelings begin to flourish. Being in such close quarters may get you to see the other in a different light, and saving someone's life just may be the ultimate form of intimacy.

    Could this be the real danger? To feel so strongly for the one you've sworn to protect...are you compromised?

    How to Play
    1. Comment with your character and preferences, being sure to put if you want to play the guard, the guarded, or either. Also, you may want to put if you prefer fluffy, angsty, or smutty interaction - or have no preference.
    2. Comment to others.
    3. There are no prompts, because there are so many potential options there could be a hundred. Feel free to play anything: the beginnings of the relationship, just meeting, getting used to each other/not getting along at first, the obligatory first time, a threat on the protected's life and how their protector responds, how the feelings between the two has changed the protection, etc. Your only limit is you.
