LYNDON'S OPEN MATCHMAKING POST 2023: PRIDE EDITION

"What the hell is this, Lyndon?"

Good unnecessarily aggressive question, hypothetical person! Basically, do you remember that "Give me one of your characters and I'll match them with one of mine" Plurk meme?

"I'm a strawman you invented for this post why would I-"

ANYWAY, this post is like that, because I love that meme a lot and have way too many characters by far. So here is how this is gonna work, basically!

1. You leave a comment with a character journal you want matched up!

It's gonna be gay in some way bc pride month, even if that's Two Bisexuals, but include maybe what kinds of characters you think might ship well with yours, and like... a quick summary of their personality for me! Also specify if you're here for smut or not or if you want assumed cr or a particular relationship stage or... whatever other information you want to put in. Age range, certain characters/canons you definitely don't want, whatever! I wanna stretch out some of my lesser-used journals here, though, so no specific character requests!

2. I will reply with an offer!

You are obviously free to veto or respond or whatever, but I'll run through my muselist (or inevitably for someone make a whole damn new account) and find someone and reply with an ooc hashing-things-out comment. If it works, reply with a starter or an affirmation if you want me to start!

3. WATCH THAT MAGIC HAPPEN or potentially watch this idea crash and burn

Anything's possible when you believe!!!

Brianna Lewis, Bria to her peers, is an intense, pretty and popular rich girl who suffers no nonsense, and hates things she deems to have no purpose. To her, a day relaxing is equal to “laying around like an idiot”. Intense and serious on the exterior, she holds a softer side and is extremely protective of those she deems hers. Bria knows she’s capable of commanding a power terrifying enough to protect herself and her sisterhood of girls—- but she’s also wise enough to know the cost of wearing a crown, and resists it with a steely resolve. Everything has a cost, she is careful to remind those around her, and Bria doesn’t want to be the one to have to pay it.

oh boy uhhhh teen drama let's go-

Clarissa from Oxenfree - here, a different flavor of intense popular girl - traumatized and very low-key but also really intense!!! Might hate everyone in any given room or might have never given a thought to them before in her life. But there's a less traumatized girl in there somewhere.

Dora from Dora and the Lost City of Gold - here, and HEAR ME OUT HEAR ME OUT.......... she's a cute nerd who basically can't turn off her productivity brain and im a sucker for opposites attract ok????

Jacqui Costa from Dry - here, an incredibly smart and streetwise girl who no longer speaks to her parents because they forced her onto medication and now mostly spends her time crashing in empty vacation/part-time homes in the greater Los Angeles area! Has a secret heart of gold also, but like. Mostly she's just brusque. So if you want to go the opposites attract angle in a different direction, she's your girl!

Mona Vanderwaal from Pretty Little Liars - here YOU KNOW HER, YOU LOVE HER, YOU UNDERSTAND HOW INEXPLICABLY MEAN THE NARRATIVE WAS TO HER!!! I generally strongly prefer to play her post-A in her weird partially-reformed-villain phase?

AND BONUS OPTION:

Penelope from The Grimrose Girls - here, assuming you've finished the first book this is a bonus option but if you haven't Do Not Pick Her.
