THE MURDERGAME SHIPPING MEME

This is probably too straight to accurately represent murdergame ships but like. We take what the stock image industry gives us.

So, you've been put into a murder mystery game where you're going to have to fight for your life! Every week another body or two, surrounded by strangers- Wait, you knew that? You actually kind of have your bearings? Well fine, here's a different problem - see that person over there? Yeah, that one. Wouldn't it be a really terrible idea if you fell in love with them right now?

This is a meme for that sometimes most fun of bad choices in murdergames: shipping. Leave a toplevel with info that might be in your character's profile (if you like), maybe a murdergame title (optional but encouraged), and any extra info you want to give along with whatever your shipping prefs are, then either pick from the prompts below or wing it and go tag around!

SETTINGS (note: absolutely not an exhaustive list)
1. Shopping Mall - Live your teen movie romance dreams! Sure, someone seems to get mcfucking murdered in the Starbucks every week, but that doesn't mean you can't go on a coffee date, right?
2. School - Live the... other party of your teen movie romance dreams! It's a little hard to be romantic when the only place for a dinner date is the cafeteria, but in fairness you are also constantly overcoming bigger problems than that here.
3. Generic Facility - Looking for romance? Try scenic Sealed-Off Building Full of Rooms! It's themed in some way - science, underwater - but the concept is the same. Surely there's some kind of bar or inexplicable amusement park in here you could use for a romantic evening, right?
4. Spooky Mansion - You know what they say about going on dates to scary movies, right? What if the scary movie was uh. The whole thing. The whole place. Where you live. And die, sometimes.
5. Romance Zone - I mean hey, maybe you're stuck somewhere literally built for both romance and murder! Pleasure and pain. Life and death. Smoochin' and stabbin'.
6. Other - If you can block off an area, you can put a murdergame there. Get creative!

PROMPTS (ship scenarios)
1. Confession (Fun) - Ah, the start of any good murdergame relationship. Maybe you've been dancing around each other for a week or two, maybe over the course of one thread and a lot of screaming your players decided you're gonna kiss. Time to figure out what these feelings mean while you're, you know. Here. Can be combined with some of the other prompts too, if you like.
2. Dating??? - Where do you even go to date in a murdergame? Is it even worth trying to hang onto this kind of normalcy when either of you could die any day now? It's probably fine.
2b. Dating+ - Can be combined with any other prompt, but somehow, some way, one of you is taking the lead in this date and getting a bunch of emotions in... because you're deathflagging. You're deathflagging hard.
3. Afterparty - Hey, that was a rough trial! Whatever it was! But you're both alive, so... better try to comfort each other, huh? Enjoy whatever kind of snacks you guys have available.
4. Confession (Unfun) - Oops, uh. One of you... seems to have confessed to murder. Better get whatever last moments in that you can before voting ends and one of you gets brutally executed!
5. The Couple That Kills Together - Okay, so maybe you did or didn't actually kill someone together. But at least one of you did a murder, and the body hasn't been properly discovered yet, so... time to talk this through? Make bad choices for love?
6. Deadland Romance - Maybe you've just reunited in the land of the dead, or maybe this is where you're trying to get your relationship off the ground. Either way, there's gotta be some weird emotions to "we're dead and trying to make it work."
7. Golden End Reunion - Great news! You beat up the mastermind (or befriended them, I don't know your style) and got all of the dead people back, including the other half of your ship! That's gotta feel good, seeing them again after however many weeks.
8. What now? - The game is over, it's time to go home. But... which home? If you split up, is there going to be a chance to visit each other again? Can you work that kind of long-distance?
9. Smut Option - Look. It's not generally onscreen, but hookups happen. Did you have to kick roommates out? Is this the fabled... you know, variant of option 5? Basically look, if you wanna use this meme for smut I'm not gonna say no, just tag appropriately.
10. Anything else! - Look, one of the fun things about murdergame ships is how many ways they can go in the emotional crucible inherent to them. I can't account for a lot of things ahead of the basics, so plot with your thread partner and have fun with it! Hell, maybe bring a good ol' murdergame polyblob into the mix, I'm not gonna stop you! Go with ur heart, assume other characters, live your truth!

[This is absolutely gonna be an uphill battle because, y'know, idol. But feel free to go for it!!]

[Good luck, he's a dumbass. Prefer to play from Crimson Flower but I'm down for any route, also No Flayns please!!]

[You want someone to kill for you??? Look no further. Prefer to play from Revelations but I'm down for any route. Strong preference for F/F for her!]

[Info here! Admittedly I'm still testdriving her a bit and I'm curious as to how something like this would go with her, so. Yeah. No particular prefs, she's a socially maladjusted weirdo so it's bound to be Interesting if nothing else.]

[Oh boy, oh boy! He's here, he's from Clear...brook, and he's ready to be endeared to someone he probably shouldn't be! Iiiiit's Alfyn! No gender preference, Alfyn is 21 years old.]

[Frankly, I don't know how this could happen, but if you want the challenge of wooing a silent protag who only loves Pokemon in a murdergame, by all means. I've got Red at roughly 16 years of age, gender is no object.]

[Just 23 years old and already a natural protector who can't protect anyone. What can you do?]

[this is one (1) Anna von Kleve-- She married Henry VIII, converted to Protestantism, got Divorced, converted back to Catholicism, Died-- and came back to life to put on a pop concert about it. She's the one from the portrait.

Also, the only two eligible bachelors in her murder game hooked up with each other, and one was a literal demon, soooooooooooooooo-- no gender prefs, but adults only, please!

Also her murder game title is The Catfish, which needs to be shared with everyone bc it's hilarious.]

[Is it a memloss murdergame? Who better for that than a girl who can't even remember her real name? Rakka's just 15, so no smut options, please.]

Edited 2020-10-13 02:03 (UTC)

[The Mom is here for all your Team Mom and adult needs. Hope you're ready for robot feelings.]

Edited 2020-10-13 02:04 (UTC)

[Former princess, summoner of gods, engaged to the True King of Light but y'know, what's a fiancé in a murdergame. Lunafreya is 24 and appears to like slightly rugged menfolk born to die heroically, but this is RP and we do what we want.]

Edited 2020-10-12 22:14 (UTC)

[Local Jewish lich likely to fall for any adult man who shows him even the slightest bit of human decency. This is still probably healthier than his last relationship.

Good luck with #9, he has no idea how that would work.]

[ Local incoming college freshman looking to major in photography and not, you know, murder? Oh Dear. She's 18, likes memes and terrible reality tv of the Ice Truckers and Pawn Stars variety, and if she has a title it's like Champion Daughter or something. No gender prefs! ]

[Did someone call for a horny bard? Too bad, he's here and he'll be ready to marry your character after five minutes, provided your character can kill him with their bare hands. Really, gender is a trival thing and you cannot stop love from blossoming the the most unlikely of circumstances etc etc

.............. Also he's 40. No, I'm not going to attempt to explain The Witcher's unintentional decision for Jaskier to be immortal.]

[ Just a very Charming teen whose profile totally doesn't have a rude hint or two that there's something Up with her parentage. Weirdly good in a fight or in a conversation. Seven...teen.... i think??? No gender prefs, uh. Big ToA spoilers ahead if you haven't gotten through at least Burning Maze yet. ]

[ Haha oh boy here she is, the hard mode romance teen!! Deadpan and slightly bitter 18-year-old whose bf uh. Is no longer alive. So you can imagine the hangups she has about romance! ota tho come at her

ps please do not date the sunken but also they CAN be here for angst purposes if you want ]

[Actual ray of sunshine in teenaged totally-a-real-flesh-person form. Has probably needed to be restrained from physically fighting the host or mastermind at least once, is definitely dealing with all the death just fine and isn't on the road to an emotional breakdown.]

[The longer the game goes on, the clearer it becomes she's a really cheerful supervillain.]

[She's probably somewhere in her 20's because what are ages in She-Ra.]

[i didn't see rise of the skywalker you can't prove it actually happened]

[...he just wanted to take a road-trip, guys. That's all he wanted.]

[ ... you're entering a weird poly relationship with a gangly sailor man who likes really positive arson, just putting that out there, but deadpan ocean princess here! says "ugh" a lot, but like. does in fact have emotions. she's like in her 20s??? ota ]

[where the FURRIES AT]

[ Insert creative blurb here. He's probably at least one of those with a cooler head, at the very least. ]

[ A hot babe who can kick ass. What more can you want? ]

[ Original flavor Fate Arthur because why not. ]
