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!!!

That's what happens when you try and force it. [ her voice is a little chiding, but playfully so – she knows she's not telling Envy anything she's not already aware of. ] But you wouldn't be trying to force it if you weren't stuck in the first place, right?

[ The night's a little chilly, but Ai ambles over without any apparent discomfort so she can peer over Envy's shoulder at the notes. It's not like she can actually read any of it, of course, but she's nosy anyway. ]

What does it say so far?

God, it barely matters, it's so cliché and... ugh.

[ A beat. ]

Do you know what cliché means, it's- it's a French word, god- point is, this crap isn't worth spending time on. It's been done.

[ Ai's gaze drifts up from the notes to Envy's face – she's getting used to reading what all the different sorts of scowls mean, an emotional vocabulary way more varied than the smiles Ai pastes on day to day. If she's reading this one right – and she thinks that she might be – then... ]

They do say pretty much everything under the sun's been done before... but is that really what you're so worked up over?

[ She doesn't think a little case of writer's block would have Envy quite this worked up. ]
