LYNDON'S OPEN MATCHMAKING POST 2024: 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!!!
SERENITY ROSE | the eponymous sera
no subject
Kaisa from Hilda - here is, in canon, a nebulously like 20-something former witch trainee who's now an Ambiguously Scandinavian librarian who mostly just helps kids out with their adventures. Obviously witch means something different in SR compared to anywhere else but cool vibesy librarian ain't nothing!
Esther de Groot from Giant Days - here, a university student in/from England, experienced goth (but I admit I don't know exactly where she falls on the Alexovich Goth Type Hierarchy), higher energy and notably "high drama" but also like. She works through that? Works well with a range of personalities, given her life/canon is basically a sitcom.
Rosalyn Nightshade from LEGO Elves - here, a slightly older option, in canon she's a magical elf who lives in the woods and cares for animals because a dude stole her magical elf kingdom, but if you want to au her into SR she can be a vet or older witch who.... lives in the forest almost certainly still lmao. A little standoffish but mostly because she actually doesn't know what she's doing, nice once she gets to know you.

any prefs for like. setup? ]
Niina Yamada | Blue Reflection Ray
no subject
Penny from Pokemon - here, she's a nerd who likes building models and surfing the internet and watching anime! bad at feelings it'd be funny
Applejack from My Little Pony: Equestria Girls - here fuck it, here's human teenager applejack
no subject
no subject
OH BOY well good news niina you get to unlock the "komachi is staggeringly lonely" lore early!!!
Any thoughts about a Scenario?
no subject
Basically my idea is that Niina's just. Kind of trying to be cool and stealthy and secretly doing her Reflector stuff and messes up somehow. Maybe lost a fight, maybe she got too hungry again. Who knows. ...i'm saying an embarrassing meet cute where niina gets shown to a cafe or something.
no subject
feel free to set something up and komachi will be On The Scene
Charlie Morningstar | Hazbin Hotel
no subject
anyway i think you know all three of these so no links BUT
Angel from Borderlands - I think the name is funny and also she deserves to say fuck
Jezebel Mephistopheles from Saint's Row - TWO OF THEM! TWO OF THEM!! for legal reasons they can be the daughters of different devils but it's too funny not to bring up the possibility here. if you arent familiar with gat out of hell shes mostly the hopeless romantic part of being a disney princess. also the arranged marriage part.
Bridgette Hashima from Close Enough - tell me "bridgette realizes shes bi and moves to hell" doesnt just sound like a plot that could happen on the show
Echo Darkglass | OC
no subject
Chuatury "Chuchu" Panlunch from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury - here, she's the one who does the punch in the meme!!! anger issues and protective but also she's very smart at space technology and like. listen. A Child Soldier? In A Gundam Universe? Say It Isn't So!!!
Alexandra "Lex" Foster from Black Friday - here, eighteen and just coming off of trying to save the world so she could escape with her sister and boyfriend except now her boyfriend is dead and the US is in world war 3? also she fought cthulhu? it's fine. grumpy and smokes and yells at adults but is nice under all of that.
Betsy McDonough from Schmigadoon! - here, okay HEAR ME OUT..... the premise of schmigadoon is that it's a magical musical town you can't leave until you find love and i think the idea of child soldier landing there and teaching the rogers and hammerstein perky farmer's daughter how to say fuck is funny
no subject
I'm imagining her kind of rolling into town shortly after a definitely not mysterious meteor shower and just sort of getting bodied by the idealized Americana style hospitality.
no subject
The whole town lowkey like "why is she here why is she- ohhhhhhh her and betsy, got it"
Cannot stress enough that this is what she would have immediately encountered.
But yeah, that's a fun setup! Where do we want to pick up timeline-wise?
no subject
Gonna suggest fairly early into things? Long enough for Echo to be over the initial major culture-shock of "what do you MEAN there isn't one singular megacorp running the entire town" and probably have found or been handed some kind of arrangement for room and board cause she barely has any spacefuture cash, much less American currency.
Maybe a week or so in town, to put an actual timeline to it? But also what is musical pacing.
Initial thought is that she's ended up doing the farmhand thing, but if there's anything from canon that seems more interesting I'm open to ideas.
no subject
yeah lmao schmigadoon is more than slightly heteronormative in a way that makes fun of the genre so Farmhand Because Betsy's Dad Refuses To Let Men Around His Daughters works gr8!!! and maybe betsy has kind of taken it on herself to help the new farmhand acclimate and ask her about the outside world and such
what does heterosexual mean
[Sitting on the edge of the barn's upper loft, legs dangling, Echo scans the skies through a small pair of binoculars. It had become a habit, in her short time here. Scan the starry skies, unbelievably clear, look for signs of pursuit and wonder if her presence was endangering these people.]
[And tonight, fumble the binoculars and nearly drop them as someone unexpectedly enters the loft behind her.]
Sweet pepitas-!
[Half-hanging out of the loft, one hand clutching the binoculars, the other hanging onto the sliding doorframe, one frizzed-out tail away from looking like a startled cat-]
Bets, hey, didn't hear you- I'm fine, everything's fine, I'm fine here- now. What did you need?
hitomi shizuki | puella magi madoka magica
no subject
Ai Ohto from Wonder Egg Priority - here, have you ever wondered what madoka kaname would be like if instead of a peaceful solution to the concept of magical girls she was okay spending time beating the shit out of abusers and predators in a cool liminal space run by... okay, we also have to imagine that kyuubey is two guys and the narrative wants us to think they're cool and don't suck despite their elaborate teenage-girl-self-unalive-victim-centric whatever-it-was, but wonder egg priority shitting the bed isn't my fault! Formerly a shut-in, but she's been getting more confidence lately! Also kind of buff, lowkey?
Knives Chau from Scott Pilgrim Takes Off - here, pretty normal high school girl, dated an adult man for a bit but nobody liked that, recently has developed an interest in musical theater after it turns out she's a prodigy? It's almost like in another timeline she had a bunch of wasted potential!
Penny from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet - here, a very smart and tech-savvy student who may or may not come to school very often after some rough bullying, but! After her Character Arc she actually does go to school along with her team of exclusively eeveelutions, when she's not building models of Pokemon or binging streaming shows/anime.
