MATCHMAKING POST: PRIDE 2023

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!!!

i flipped a real coin and fate said sumireko SO

to get a little more in depth about her she uh. lost all of her limbs in an assassination attempt when she was little and trained to use prosthetics and also to kill people??? but she's over the killing people, unless there's a really good reason. so hell yeah natsuru come get fuckin pampered by your rich gf she'll be very nice to you even if she is not amazing at being genuinely nice just yet

God now I'm imagining that Sumireko just came across this poor girl who seems to be constantly manipulated and lightly bullied by everyone around her and just went "mine now", picked her up and took her home. Also can't get over the idea of her offering Natsuru a job as her maid as an excuse to keep her by her side (and protect and pamper her), but Natsuru being weirdly blushy about it and trying so hard to deserve Sumireko's kindness by doing literally anything for her. A way to have light trappings of a mistress/maid dynamic but also have them just be cute teenage girlfriends at the same time, y'know?

Only thing there is it'd be up to Sumireko to make the first move into dating and/or kissing or more territory, because lmao Natsuru having the spine to do anything like that...

[beyourruler]

oh that all sounds perfectly in line with her yeah

do you want to start like. at her making that first move or after she has, because sumireko is definitely capable of taking initiative

[thirdbeauty]

Excellent~!

Starting right at her making that first move sounds fantastic, because I love getting to play Natsuru at Peak Flustered melting into a gooey happy mess of feelings. Sumireko can interrupt her being a hyper-dutiful maid, or drag her out for an outing that's actually going to become a date, or invite her to her room for bonus sleepover vibe... or god, here's an idea... Natsuru helping Sumireko get ready for bed... even if that's not a thing they normally do, just. Using that excuse to have her close and make her move.

Something along any of those lines sound about right?
