MEME: ICEBREAKER!



ICEBREAKER MEME! LET'S TALK WRITING.


Hey y’all. We’re just under three weeks from game start and that means it’s time to get rolling on memes. We’re starting out pretty simple with an OOC icebreaker. Whether you’re totally new to journal RP or have been playing with the same people for years, it’s never a bad idea to pause for a chat about this hobby of ours!

With this meme, we want to hear about you: what your RP style is, what sort of plots you enjoy and what tropes you love to see in play. For now, please hold off on seeking specific lines. We’ll be doing a game-wide intro post/wanted lines meme next week! This one is all about the (wo)man behind the curtain.

Copy the form from the text field below and post it as a comment to the RESPONSES section. Feel free to chatter in either the OOC CHATTER subheader or on individual responses. :) All questions are optional! Fill out what you feel like. Don’t worry about sharing your Ilvermorny house if that’s personal.

Name:
Who Are You Playing?:
Sort Yourself!: Into Peckenpaugh, Hogwarts and, if you understand that shit at all, Ilvermorny houses!
What Are Your Pets Names?: We love talking about our furry friends as much as we love talking about our fake children.
Is Cereal Soup?: We need to know where you fall. This will affect whether your characters live or die in end game. (It won’t.)
Soda or Pop?: Which one is it?
How Long Have You Been RPing?: Were you a wee child when you fell into this rabbit hole? Did you retire and come back, or have you always had your finger on the pulse of the local journal RP community?
Other Genres and Settings: Aside from Harry Potter journal RP, what other settings and styles have you played in? Which ones did you enjoy most?
RP Style: Tell us a little bit about what styles of RP you prefer. Do you like logs? IC/OOC threads? Comment RP most? Are you prone to long tags, or do you like to keep them short? How far back are you willing to backtag a thread?
Favorite Tropes/Lines: What sort of tropes and lines do you LOVE to play out in games? Got any old favorites? New ones you can’t wait to sink your teeth into?
Favorite Faces: Do you have any PBs you’re unreasonably attached to? Someone you’ve used multiple times, or someone you’ve only ever dreamed of using?
Favorite Character Archetypes: What sorts of characters do you love to play? What sorts of character archetypes do you love to see, in general?
Inspirations: How do characters usually pop into your head? Are you inspired by faces, names, dreams? How did you come up with the ideas for your current character(s)?
Anything Else?: Do you have anything you want to say?
Give Us A Cute Gif: Of a face you love, a face you’re using, or just how you’re feeling right now.



➡️ RESPONSES: Post your responses to the meme here!

➡️ OOC DISCUSSION: A place to chatter about the meme or in general!

kjfhgkjh honestly nothing, it was just one of the lj clones, but with a decidedly 2000's era hot topic aesthetic. It still exists and I'm delighted to see that it looks EXACTLY like it did then, it has not changed or updated in any way.

RIGHT

I guess they have updated the blurb a bit because it mentions facebook, but it predates it. Other than that? it's a perfect time capsule.

"This is where you write your raw feelings of anger, hate, frustration, sadness, hurt, how you've been hurt or how you've hurt other people. This is where you write about how you were dumped because you weren't willing to compromise yourself for someone who said they loved you, but if they did, they wouldn't asked you to do that. This is place you write about how you feel when your soulmate fucked your best friend and expect you to be ok because it was just one time."

hm!

Oliver made one with the intent of posting kind and encouraging things to people, but he ended up using it to complain about ghosts and be a smartass.

Zero doubt in my mind that Liam unironically has one, though.
