WHAT IS LOVE?

baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more


Aaaah, that great philosophical debate.


I. Give us the basics, but also, no blank comments.
II. On the contrary, in the comment itself, characters must articulate what love (platonic, familial, romantic, universal, as a concept) means to them. To them personally. Eloquently or poorly, they have to use their words.
III. Repliers will shake their heads in simultaneous pity and judgment discuss one of life's fundamental experiences with the original responder!

Your characters have theme songs—don’t deny it. Maybe it’s a power anthem, maybe it’s a moody ballad, maybe it’s something embarrassing they’d never admit. Let’s find out!

How to Play:

  1. Make a top-level comment linking a song that represents your character’s current mood, personality, or life theme. (youtube, spotify, whatever works)

  2. Reply to other top-level comments with:
    • A song you associate with that character or your first impression of them

    • A song you think they’d love

    • Or just a tune that popped into your head when you saw them!

  3. Return the favor! If someone leaves you a song, give one back.

  4. Repeat until your playlist is unstoppable.

Fun Tips )


Goal: Share music, discover new jams, and see how everyone hears your muses. 🎶

ways to show affection


When it comes to the way affection is shown, everyone has a different way they go about it. That means that there's a pretty good chance, with regards to couples, you could end up with two people who have two varying approaches towards how they prove they care...sometimes radically varying, which can lead to more than a little confusion or hurt feelings if there's not proper communication. But when both people are on the same page, they can tell each other how they feel with few words.

☄ Comment with your character, info, prefs, and how your character will likely show affection.
☄ Reply to others.
☄ Thread, my dears!

WORDS: Sweet affirmations, pet names, even
CUDDLES: Hugs, nuzzles, the works.
KISSING: On the check or on the lips.
KINDNESS: Always there for them.
PROVIDING: Providing care, providing protection, providing financially.
GENTLE...ER: Your only weak spot.
MEANNESS: Straight up tsundere.
GIFTS: All the pretty things.
ACTIONS: Visits, taking care of their problems, taking them out, and more.
SUBTLE: A distant sort of affection, but they know.

TABOO meme

Most societies have certain mores that are unspoken rules; humanity itself even has such conventions, grilled subconsciously into our minds for our own safety. Don't go out alone at night. Avoid getting wet when it's cold. Don't pick fights with those stronger than you...okay, some of us missed the boat on the last one, but the point still stands. Society's rules tend to be more variable, though they apply to most aspects of life - including sex. In fact, bending the rules on what's considered acceptable in romance and sexual encounters can lead to anything from ostracization to death, depending on the time and culture.

So, play it close to the chest if you're going to do a big, big, big t a b o o. Is it worth the risk?

How to Play


- Comment with your character and preferences. Be sure to include what you want and what you DON'T WANT. Blank comments are fine; info is even better!
- Reply to others.
- Be fun and respect others, as this will deal with some heavy topics and potentially triggering material s.

master / fledgling


In most vampire media, the relationship between maker and fledglings is many things: parental, sibling, an apprenticeship, even antagonistic. Just as often, there's a romantic undertone, as well.

For what could connect anyone more than the sharing of blood, of the dark gift?

  • Comment with your character, preferences, etc.
  • Reply to others.
  • Thread. Use the prompts, or not.


† UNDEFINED → The nature of your bond is complex and unclear to outsiders. Perhaps even to both of you, as well.
† DYSFUNCTIONAL → There's a lot of bad blood between you, yet you can't hate each other fully.
† FORBIDDEN → Any sort of relationship beyond the vampiric-familial would be frowned upon by both human society and the underworld.
† LOVERS → Why not? No one else will understand you like they do, and you probably won't have to worry about outliving them.

the lost in the woods meme


You forgot your compass, lost the map, took the instructions of that crazy old guy living in a log, or were just plain stupid and falling for every horror movie cliché. Someone mentioned that it wasn't raining, someone really insulted a psychopath squirrel, and whatever plans you had were utterly ruined. Or maybe, despite everything, it went along perfectly. Whatever happened, you’re lost in the woods and there doesn’t seem to be a quick way out. Will you get back onto the path easily, or will you stumble upon some trouble? Or not? Anything is possible!

WARNING: Some of the prompts below include horror elements, so be sure to plan things ahead!

Darkness Loves Light
No matter how the darkness looms around you - how much you've become the darkness - there's one bright spot in your life - a person who makes everything worthwhile. It doesn't really matter how they came to you. What does is that they stay. Whether you admit it or not, you seek comfort from them...and, perhaps, them from you, if you're in the same situation. So, whether you push them away, treat them right, or go so far as to worship them and put them on a pedestal, you don't want them to go now. You crave being with them, or at least being in their presence. Don't ruin this for yourself. After all, what would you do without your little ray of light? You'll do anything to keep them happy and loved. Anything.
  • Respond to the meme with your character, canon, preferences, and, if you'd like, what position you're character will be in.
  • Respond to others.
  • prompts
  • light || the pure is affecting the impure in a positive way.
  • dark || the impure is affecting the pure in a negative way.
  • purposeful || you want to corrupt something so pure.
  • forgive || they know what you've done and they've forgiven you.
  • death || something comes up from the dark past and strikes out at the one loved the most. they know it would hurt you to see them in pain - or worse.
  • life || the smut option. will there be hesitance in "defiling" purity?
  • cheer || never again did you think that there would be simple joys. picnics, birthdays, gentle holding of hands.
  • confessions || you have to get them into your life; they're the only good thing you can see.
  • teach || one party is teaching the other about more worldly pursuits, may or may not be sexual. perhaps they feel guilty for this, perhaps they don't.
  • end || you can't do this to them anymore. they deserve so much better than you.
