THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MEME

Probably the most self-explanatory meme. You know. You got a shrinking laser to the chest, you found a bottle labeled "DRINK ME", you got exposed to chemicals. Or maybe you're Ray Palmer and its Tuesday.

Either way, you've now got some huge problems to overcome. If you'll pardon the pun.

RULES
~Comment to this post. Your character is now of a much more miniscule height.
~Characters who respond have the choice either be fellow bedbugs, or newly-sworn-in citizens of the Land of the Giants.
~Roll for an RNG scenario or make your own scenarios. But honestly, its no big deal to us~
~Not that we anticipate it, but we may as well include the obligatory. Violence, injury, death, cannibalism, sex, and swearing ~~or just plain you-don't-like-the-concept-of-shrinking~~ is possible in this meme, so be warned, there may be possible triggers.

( well, at least you didn't blow up the baby! *rimshot* )

<cut text="well, at least you didn't blow up the baby! *rimshot*">POSSIBLE PROMPTS

1. Suddenly Small: Well, that was abrupt. Wait, when did the floor tile become so huge? When did the chair turn into Mount Everest!? WHEN DID FLUFFY GET LIKE THAT!? Oh shi-

2. He Can't Hear Us: HEY! HEY!! DOWN HERE!! DOWN HERE, I'M RIGHT HERE!! HEY!! Come on, I'm trying to get your attention!! No I'm not a bug, it's me!! HOW DO I GET YOUR ATTENTION ALREADY!?

3. The Exotic Backyard Death Trap: Its amazing how size can change one's surroundings and the danger it poses. Seriously, who would have thought your bedroom was actually a trap-infested swamp of terror that is trying to kill you in a million ways?

4. Stuck in a Cobweb: Because someone is always getting stuck in a cobweb with a giant, hungry spider bearing down on them. Or getting washed away by a puddle, or trapped in or on something that they need rescuing from, because what are survival skills when you're an inch or so tall. A little help, please?

5. Attack of the Giants: WELP someone is about to get eaten by someone normal-sized. Or stepped on. Or vacuumed up into a Dirt Devil. You can try to get said person's attention. Or try to save yourself. Or try to run the hell away. Or give up, but you've gotten so far!

6. I Shall Call Him gEORGE: There are tons of bugs and animals crawling around when you're tiny. So, what's the logical thing to do when faced with one? Mount it and tame it to be your pimping ride, of course! Your friends would be so jealous of you right now if you were visible to the naked eye.

7. Hey Look Mom I Am Totally A Bug: Finally, finally, someone spots you! It took them long enough to figure out you didn't spontaneously combust or hitchhike to Myanmar or whatever it is they thought you did. And...wait, did they even notice you were missing until now?!

7. Normal Sized: Does this need explanation?! YOU'RE BACK TO NORMAL SIZE! WOOO! Now you can reflect on what you learned from your experience...if...you're the type of person who actually learns from your experience. You could also just punch the person who invented the apparatus which shrunk you to begin with. Hey, we won't judge.

8. Wild Card: Mix, match, or make up your own scenario!

SATURDAY MORNING MEME

Aah, Saturday morning cartoons. They harken back to a simpler time when good guys always won, bad guys were always cheesy, badass or both, and the plot points were almost always resolved in 24 minutes. Unless it was a multiple-parter, of course.

Now that time is coming back for you - right here in this post!

<big>A.PREMISE</big>

1. THE ANIMATION OF THE MOVIE OF THE COMIC: Oh, right, there was a movie or book or comic or game (or even another animated show!) that this is based on. But whereas the original may be bloody and violent and probably has some swearing, someone decided to turn you and your co-stars family-friendly morons who can't shoot straight for some reason. Oh, and you get an animal companion that probably wasn't in your original canon who makes all sorts of jokes that aren't always funny. Enjoy!

2. SHE'S A MAN IN JAPAN: Congratulations, your show's been brought over to the United States from another country! But...what the heck? Your name isn't Guy Supercool! And you're not in high school! And you don't live in America! And oh god they turned your iffeminate life partner into your female love interest?! And what do you mean your grandma didn't die, she passed into the Shadow Realm!? WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW!? WHY HAS SHE FORSAKEN YOU!?

3. AND SUDDENLY WE'RE CHILDREN: Screw being an adult like before. You're kids now in this. Who cares why, you just are - either in elementary school or maybe even preschool. You all live together without adult supervision (or if there is adult supervision, its almost never enforced) and you try to make the best of your situation. Like pretending to be in far off lands or saving the world from ghosts! Or even better - you actually do sneak out of the house to have AWESOME kiddy shenannigans without anyone knowing!

4. AND SUDDENLY WE'RE DETECTIVES: Screw the job you were at before, and all the friends and family you had previously. Opening your own P.I. joint in an entirely new place is where its at! Who cares if your previous job had absolutely nothing to do with detectiving! Anyone can be a detective with their new best friends and be a total expert at it without any previous experience! And what do you know, you've got your first big case coming right onto your desk - and it looks like a doozy!

5. AND SUDDENLY I'M THE MAIN CHARACTER: You were a part of a big group of people, or was a friend of the main character. And now, all of a sudden, you're on your own, in your own place. You're the focus now, and all the others you had known all these years are nowhere in sight! You have no idea how this happened or why you're now by yourself in a new town with new neighbors and new problems. But you can do it, right? Besides, this is your turn to shine and show you're not just another face in the crowd you left...!

1. BY THE _______ OF ________: You've come across a magical talisman which, with a shout, transforms you into a SUPER AWESOME HERO! Now that you have this amazing power, you must defend your homeland against everything that wants to destroy it (or, you know, save the orphanage with your band if that's what you do). On the downside, this might include random family members and friends you forgot you had because they were brainwashed by the bad guys way back when! Er...surprise?

2. CHEESY SCIENCE STRIKES!: You've been shrunken! Or....turned into a giant. Or a kid. Or a mermaid. Or a...well, whatever it is, be it a different size, age, species, gender, etc. its been altered by a magic potion, or maybe a mad scientist's really cheesy machine. And its incredibly inconvenient for you to be like this, so you need to get to the apparatus responsible, restore yourself to normal and save the day. On the other hand, all the obstacles that are now in your way might make that difficult...

3. AND NOW SOMEONE'S EVIL: It was bound to happen some time. Someone's turned traitor, or maybe they got brainwashed, or tricked, or its Thursday. They're now sporting awesome bad guy clothing, making bad guy speeches, laughing evilly, the whole nine yards! Maybe its you who's become evil. But whoever's randomly become evil, someone's got to save them from the bad guy's clutches somehow, right?

4. AND NOW SOMEONE'S GOOD: Its a bad guy! And they've been captured! And its one of the big fish, the trusted lieutenant, a former good guy, or even The Dragon. Maybe, now that they are cooling their heels, they can re-evaluate their life choices and consider that maybe being evil isn't so good after all. And who better to prod them towards the side of the good guys but you!

5. NIGHTMARE FUEL VS. THE POWER OF CUTE: This is it. folks. The person you're facing off against is made of pure evil. As in, they devour baby souls as a snack, enjoy killing entire planets off for fun or drain people's life forces for no other reason than pure boredom. And what can of badassery are you going to open on this unforgivable monster for threatening your land? Why, the power of your CARE BEAR STARE and THE RAINBOW and PONY POWER an--wait, what!?

6. AFTER SCHOOL SPECIAL: How the mighty have fallen! Your best friend - or maybe you - is hooked on drugs! Or in danger of being pregnant as a teen! In the wrong crowd! Skipping school! Not looking both ways before crossing the street! Whatever the sudden malfunction is, well, there's only one way to save the day - THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP! (And maybe throw in a musical number or two to terrify whoever's acting out back onto the path of righteousness...)

7. WORLD PRIX...THING: Yup, its the epic race around the world!...What? Every show did it! And now you're doing it. Be it for fame, money, contractual obligation, blackmail, you're riding in a souped up funny car with a bajillion gadgets designed to inconvenience - but not seriously injure - your numerous rivals. So on your mark...get set...

<big>C. MORAL</big>

1. KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE: You just noticed some random kids littering! Or setting fire to something! Or just doing something that they shouldn't be doing! As an upstanding citizen, you've just got to do something to stop this travesty! But how? Well, stopping them is all fine and well, but this calls for something more. That's right - an unforgettable LECTURE about the dangers they face from their actions! You just hope these kids will listen!...

2. SAILOR MOON SAYS~: Ok, look. There's no moral. There was never meant to be a moral after this story. Really. But for whatever reason someone really wanted one to be there at the last minute, so you're doing overtime now. So what if the moral is about the dangers of smoking when the episode was actually about how someone just tried to blow up your city? Stop shuffling your feet and just give the damn lecture already!

X. MIX AND MATCH/WILD CARD: Suddenly you're a child detective who must use their cuteness inside a badass talisman to defeat evil incarnate while singing to their friend about how how those "candies" really aren't very dandy to eat...oh and YO JOE! and all. Based on a movie. Or something....or, fine, come up with your own!

HOLLYWOOD AMNESIA MEME

You know the cliched plotline where someone loses their memory in some way, be it a bump on the head, being hit by a laser, enacting your evil plan to throw the good guys off your trail, or just randomly forgetting everything you ever knew one day just for the hell of it? Well, now you've gone and done it. You've lost your memory, Hollywood-style, and you can't remember who or what you are. Good going!

Not to be confused with an Amnesia: The Dark Descent meme. Sorry folks.

HOW IT WORKS:
- Tag the meme, leaving your character name, fandom, and any preferences in the subject line.
- Other character tags you.
- You tag back, and use the random number generator to select from the following options, either for you or the person tagging you. Or don't, and do whatever strikes your fancy. If you roll something your character already is, either roll again, go for human, or pick something that otherwise suits your fancy.
- Other character reacts, or is free to also roll on the table
- Play out the results.
- Have fun, but respect the preferences of others.
- And, of course, there may be triggers in this meme. So be warned.

<lj-cut text="I DON'T REMEMBER I DON'T RECALL">1. Wake Up Time!: They've woken up. Maybe in a hospital, maybe on the street, maybe in a scientist's lair, but their first reaction is the same - they can't recall how they got there. Or where they were before. Or their name. Or...perhaps they don't remember anything from before waking up...and there's no identification on hand to help them out!

2. Try To Blend In...: Your character's decided to try and make the best of it, and embark on a new life, and new identity. Of course they can't escape the nagging feeling that they should be doing something entirely different with their life, but maybe they ignore it in favor of some normalcy. Or they stay forever curious about their forgotten life...

3. This Feels Familiar: Maybe its a place, or a person, or just a general feeling, but your character feels an incredibly strong sense of deja-vu about...whatever it is. It is strong enough to think that maybe - just maybe - this could be a clue to who your character really is! Now the question is - is it really?

4. How Could You Have Forgotten Me?: Oh boy. It was bound to happen. Someone runs up to your character to give you a giant hug, and they are just so happy to see your character is ok! Looks like your character's going to have to break the bad news to them - your character's never met them before now and don't remember ever meeting them. Your character can only hope they take it well as they try to explain this all to them...

5. You're On My Side, Remember?: Oh, hey, there's someone who seems to not only know who your character really is, but can explain that your character and he/she were the best of friends and did everything together and maybe there were these jerks that were responsible for their memory loss! There's just one problem - this person was actually your character's enemy pre-memory loss. Not that they remember this...which suits this enemy just fine.

6. Through Different Eyes: Maybe your character was rich pre-amnesia, and they're poor. Or evil, and they're good. Two things are for certain, however. Before your character lost their memory, your character and this other person have never met before - or if they have, they don't know they have. And they're both in the same bind somehow - kidnapped, about to be laid off, it could be anything - or just have something in common. Slowly, the two characters bond, becoming the best and unlikeliest of friends as they both go through life and its trials.

7. Lock and Load!: No memory loss plot is complete without some kind of battle! It can be an insanely epic superhero battle where your character's friends must fight your character - as an amnesiac enemy! Or it can be as normal as your amnesiac character arguing in front of the school board to prevent the under-funded program from being closed - by the company they ran before they lost their memory, ironically. Basically, a battle where your character's on a different side due to their amnesia.

8. Hulk Smash Your Head: The endgame. Someone has decided your character's been amnesiac long enough and is taking action! And thus, your character is about to get their memory - or have gotten it - back. How? How will they react when you remember everything and try to reconcile it with what they did (if they remember what they did while amnesiac, of course)? And...can someone get your character an aspirin!?

<cut text="this is my life. it always will be. there's nothing else. just us.">1. DOA: There's been a terrible crime. A violent, bloody, horrible crime unlike anything the city's seen before - and it's seen a lot. Its time for you to investigate that chalk outline or broken bank lock, and everything surrounding it. Its quite obvious that nothing is as it seems upon further investigation. Its now a question of convincing others of your hunch.

2. Knock On The Door: It was a boring day before she walked through your door. The mysterious moll with the case that could make or break your career and make you a millionaire. Or maybe it's a friend of yours from long ago who needs your help. Or an ex. Or perhaps they're not even female at all. <strike>But count on it.</strike>

3. The Usual Suspects: Where there's murder, there's a motive. And generally these low-lives are the ones with the motives. Or you're sure they know something. Or maybe they owe you one for helping them out before. Its time to squeeze the juice out of the lemon - in any way you can. After all, you have ways of making them talk if they refuse...

4. Framed Forever: It was bound to happen with your luck. Somehow everything and everyone's turned on you and the powers that be have decided to get your annoying mug out of the way by framing you for something you didn't do. You better hope you've got evidence to the contrary - or, at the very least, a way to evade arrest so you can buy some time to do so...

5. Cement Shoes: You were getting too close to the truth. You're trying to walk away and do the right thing. And now its time for the powers behind the whole thing to try and shut you up for good. Maybe all you need is a good talking to and warning, maybe some placating greenbucks. Or maybe you're just a bit too insistent for your own good and things need to get physical...tortuous...or even deadly.

6. Turn in Your Badge: Your unorthodox methods and persistent targeting of the wrong people (or, maybe, the right people) has gone too far. Your boss, your partners, your co-workers, whoever it might be - they've had enough of you being a thorn and a pest. Its time to put you in your place with the scariest weapon they have in their arsenal - a pink slip.

7. A Traitor In Our Midst: You never anticipated this could happen. But you've been betrayed. They're working for someone else to take you down before you can solve the case. Perhaps something has made them simply snap and they cannot handle it anymore. Or, perhaps, they were the ones who were pulling the strings this whole time...and you have crossed them.

8. Mexican Standoff: Guns and violence. Its the final showdown and no holds are barred. Its time to take down the bad guys - before they take you down.

9. Forget It Jake...: The truth is at last revealed. But was it worth it? Do the responsible parties pay for their misdeeds? Is justice served? Is the city a better place for having had the crime solved? And if it truly was, at what cost? Lives? Money? Morality? Innocence? As you look through the window onto the city, you have to wonder...

10. Norma Desmond Was Here: Wild card. Any scenario you wish, either on this list, a combination, or otherwise, so long as it is film noir in nature.

THE DIVORCE MEME

All good things must come to an end one day. Your marriage, your relationship, your friendship. So now it's time to call it quits with whoever it is you're splitting from. It's true what they say, that love is a battlefield...

<lj-cut text="So this is how it ends?">THE REASON FOR DIVORCE

1. A Fatal Attraction: You've just learned your spouse has been having a relationship with someone else. It could have been once, or could have been for years. They could even have had children with this third person. Either way, there's no way to repair the damage.

2. Always Hurt The One You Love: Your spouse is abusive, towards you and/or your children. You kept telling yourself it would get better, that they would change, but it hasn't. It's only gotten worse. And now you've had enough of it. There's only one way out for you.

3. Every Time You Go Away: Your spouse is going away again. Maybe it's bad and they've landed back in jail, or maybe it's just because their work is taking them away again. But the long separation has taken its toll on the both of you, and it's time to face the truth.

4. Two Steps Forward, Two Steps Back: Maybe you're human, and they're yokai. You party and they don't. In any case you have different cultures and values and it becomes more obvious as time goes by. You could handle it before, but this? Is the last straw.

5. Monster-In-Law: You're not really divorcing your spouse. You're really divorcing that one in-law from hell whose only purpose in life has been to destroy whatever happiness you and your spouse may have had. Well, now they've done it. Happy?

6. The Spanish Inquisition: Something unexpected has happened. Perhaps a death in the family, or someone's lost or gained a job. Whatever it is, it's caused one of you to change, big time. And the strain it's put on you both has brought you to a decision.

7. Thanks For All The Fish: You're...just divorcing. It's no one's fault, really. You've both tried to make it work, but for whatever reason - boredom, disinterest - it just isn't. Still, you're parting as the closest of friends, and hey, it just might be better this way.

8. Wild Card: Any of the above, or any other reason of your own choosing.

WHO YOU'RE TELLING

1. Spouse: The other person in the equation. You'd better be ready for what's about to happen - or maybe you're not.

2. Child: You're the product of this marriage, and you might be worried this is your fault. Or maybe you're glad this is happening, so your parents can be happy - or maybe you can be happy.

3. Family Member: Not a spouse of kid, but no less important. You're the family member that everyone goes to when something's happened for advice.

4. Friend: You're always one of the first to know everything, maybe coming back with sage advice over coffee. Even now, this is no different, and you'll be there for them. But maybe you've known all along this would happen...

5. Enemy: Somehow you've found out about it and you've come to rub it in. In fact, you might even be the reason its happening. Or, on the flip side, you're actually upset for the person and are putting aside the past to comfort them, for a moment.

6. Lawyer: Well, you've got to make a living. And you're the one they've come to for advice on how to end things.

7. Wild Card: Any of the above, or any other reason of your own choosing.</lj-cut text>
