the love me meme
❤ You see someone. Lo and behold, you're in love with them; it's as simple as that. - Oh, I'm sorry, what? You're not in love with them? Well, you are now. The question is just... how are you in love with them?
❤ Post with your characters. Someone else will reply to your character. Then, you go and generate a random number between 1 and 5. Remember, that particular number only applies for that one thread.
❤ Match up that number with the appropriate category of ~*~love~*~ below, and that's how your character now feels about that replier!
❤ (If you really want a certain type for that thread, feel free to just pick one of the symptoms. But it's much more fun to draw one at random, sometimes!)
❤ Remember - just because Character A loves Character B doesn't mean Character B loves them back. (Or is going to be any less creeped out by this sudden change of heart...)

one.
Yandere love. You are obsessed with this person to the point that it is dangerous, unhealthy and absolutely insane; you want them to be with you, you, you, you, and only you, and nothing is going to stand in your way. No one is going to hurt your love - in fact, no one is going to come near your love. And if they say they don't love you? They will. You'll make them. Because you're meant to be together, and you're going to be together, forever and ever and ever. Married married married~

two.
Moe love. It is adorable, and sweet, and innocent. You want to hold hands and exchange chocolates and pretty cards and take long walks on the beach and talk about your future and your kids and aaaaw. It's just like you're in a G-rated Disney movie! You just want your True Love(TM) to be happy, and to know that you love them very much. ;u;

three.
Tsundere love. Of course you love them, but you're way too shy to admit that! Things like that are embarrassing, damn it! You'll yell and flail and hit the love of your life, but it's just because you're not sure how to show that you love them. I mean, you'll still be awfully upset if they try to leave you, or if they don't understand, or they don't want to kiss you... But there's no way you'll say "I love you"!! ... Not unless they say it first, at least. Physical comedy ahoy!

four.
Sexy love. Maybe there's some love hidden deep down somewhere, but that's not the priority here; first thing's first is that man needs to take his clothes off right now. You don't want to talk about your house and your white picket fence and your 2.5 kids; you just want to touch that person now, and you'll think about the rest in the morning. Kissing and contact and maybe a little lovin' are what you want, and nothing is going to stop you. No means yes. For underage characters (and those of us who w-would rather not write sexy things), kisses and flirting are all you need.

five.
Melodramatic love. This is very important and you know you're rushing things a little but this love was meant to be!! Your love life is suddenly a Shakespearean tragedy, complete with dramatic plot twists and turns, and you need to confess your love to the world before it's too late! There's no time to lose; in the morning, you're going to be exiled, your love is going to be hanged, your mother will be shot, your father will become a pirate and someone will kick your puppy!! For bonus points, speak in terrible, hilarious, terrible prose.

So CnC, I'm just gonna cut right to the chase:

Does your character have an accent different from you own? Or a very different manner of speech or dialect?

How do you handle accents? Do you type them out? Try to imply them through word choice and order? Do little things like drop the g from "doing" or "going"? Do they slur words together to make a new word (like gonna or wanna or shuddup). Do they use weird sci-fi or fantasy or general made-up slang and/or swears (like "whomps" or "by the allspark" or "fraggit")? Do they have typing quirks?
!
Also of relevance: places that offer helpful advice about certain dialects or accents!

EDIT: ALSO ALSO: does your character swear a lot? What do you do when they do but it's always interrupted or replaced with #$(U(*Y% symbols? Or they're from a children's cartoon but there's swearing in the city?
