the roommates meme
This is a thinly-veiled device for gratuitous crossovers, I'm not even going to play.
What's an even more contrived and even more convenient way to get two characters into the same space than a coffeeshop AU? Making them live together. Want a more intellectual blurb on this meme? Living together lays bare your habits and idiosyncrasies, blah blah, sometimes you accidentally see each other naked.
Have fun ok
HOW TO PLAY:
- Comment with character. State your preferences/shipping permissions and any information you want other players to know.
- Comment to others. Play whatever first comes to mind, or RNG .
- This meme was written with crosscanon interactions in mind, specifically the kind that jamjar game settings generate. All the prompts work whether the characters come from different worlds or the same one, but if you have strong feelings about the kinds of source canons you will thread with, it'd be wise to mention that as a preference. Otherwise, gratuitous crossovers have the mememaker's blessing.
- Have fun and play nice!
PROMPTS:
1. First impressions. Well, it's been arranged. Whether you went for it because it was a good price, or you've been assigned to live together by an Authority, or the stars aligned somehow and now you're living in your dead rich uncle's mansion with the cousin you never met, it looks like you're going to be sharing your living space with someone for the foreseeable future. Time to shake some hands and make some friends.
2. Second impressions. You'd already met this person and gotten to know them, well before deciding to room together. Being friends with someone and living with them are different beasts, though. What are you learning about their habits at home? Does it change the way you see them?
3. Building friction. There's all kinds of little details that add up to a comfortable living space - cleanliness, noise level, expectations of privacy... If one of you isn't living up to the other's standards, is it going to start a fight or can you work it out like adults?
4. Furry friends. Where did you find that kitten? No, we're not keeping it!...okay, I guess we're keeping it. Make sure to schedule a vet appointment. And get it some toys. Wait, are pets even allowed here?
5. Social circle. Bringing friends over can always be hit or miss. Sometimes they get along great with your roommate. Sometimes they break a lamp and try to hide the evidence and if you ever invite them over again you're pretty sure you'll be flayed alive.
6. Sick day. Don't be a jerk, make them some soup or something. They'd do the same if it was you, right?
7. Snow day. The weather outside is frightful, and it's a good thing you remembered to buy bread and milk, because you might be indoors for a while. Cross your fingers that the power doesnt go out.
8. TMI. YOU DIDN'T NEED TO SEE WHATEVER IT WAS YOU JUST SAW. YOU DID NOT NEED TO KNOW THAT ABOUT THE PERSON YOU CANNOT AVOID CONTACT WITH. OH, WOE IS YOU
9. Property damage. The instructions very clearly said to secure the strap around your wrist before using the Wiimote. This is all on you, pal. Hopefully you didn't break something that was important to your roommate...or setting that'll get you in trouble with your landlord.
10. Movie night. Hey, wanna watch Sharknado with me? (Googling "random movie generator" gives you some helpful sites, if you don't have a movie in mind.)
11. Dinner is served. What do the food arrangements look like here? If meals are a group activity, does one person cook more often than the other? Who leaves what in the fridge? Do either of you have any food-based traditions that get shared? Or maybe you just want to break out the booze and have a fun night in.
12. Vent your spleen. Life is hard and sometimes you just have to complain to someone about it. "Someone" is the person you live with, naturally. They know you, but they're not involved in the drama - a perfect combination!
im not even gonna pick a prompt hi

What the fuck is your problem?! I was watchin' that shit!

Catching you masturbating on the couch once was enough. Next time, it'll be your dick.
no subject
also, rude. unfazed, but still clearly bitter (fuck craigslist) he throws one arm over the couch so he's got space to glower up at hunk.]
I wasn't masturbating on the couch. I was preparing to masturbate in my room, while I happened to be on the couch, on a day you weren't supposed to be here.
no subject
I'm always here.
[said cryptically, as always. he doesn't trust you as far as he can throw you travis, there's no way he's leaving this apartment unattended, even while he's at work. one of the perks working as security for a company like umbrella is unlimited access to surveillance cameras.]
no subject
he shoots roomie the most skeptical expression before he rolls his eyes and turns back to their utterly ruined television set, which is now spewing smoke and little sparks. gj asshole. now how is he gonna watch lucha underground.]
Anybody ever tell you you're creepy as hell? [hunk dont check the nighttime cameras just dont] By the way, you're buying a new TV.
no subject
and it's too late. the purity of his eyes have been destroyed]Fine. But you're not allowed to watch anymore porn on it. [not that hunk ever watches tv, but never again will he see those horribly drawn penises and dangerous-looking, pube bushes.]
