Need a little pick me up? Or just feel like playing something really stupid? It's time for a meme.

The Magical Swap Meme
or the 'oops, you done fucked up' meme

Directions

Post your character with the name/canon in the subject meme. In your comment, put your preferences such as, "I don't want to do prompt #1" or "for the gender swap prompt, [character] will look like [this]" or "for the age swap prompt, my character will be 5 years younger".

Tag each other and have fun.

Prompts

Body Swap: Holy shit. You're looking at yourself like you're looking in a mirror. The only problem is, when you're looking down at your own hands... you're in someone else's body.

Gender Swap: Well, this is new; you're now no longer in the right body, but it's still yours. Were you always a girl? You sure weren't yesterday. Of course, this is probably another one of the city's tricks; no point in getting all up in arms about it, is there?

Age Swap: Are you starting to see a pattern here? Now you're younger-- or older-- than you were a little while ago. Who're you going to bug about your height now?

Canon Swap: Your entire history is different now. Suddenly, you're a homestuck. Or maybe you're an elf. Or perhaps you're not even switching canons with the person you're threading with. What's the damage?

Power Swap:...Like the one above, but with powers instead of canons.

Moral Alignment Swap: Suddenly, you're evil as hell. Or maybe you're really good now. Or maybe your moral alignment is "eh /non-commital wiggly hand gesture". I don't make the rules here, bucko.

Luc, you didn't include this swap I wanted to do!: Well look at you, you have a bigger imagination than I do. What are you waiting for? Swap it. Just swap it. Do it, before it's too late.

You now have four minutes to save the world.**

*If it's a bad meme, it wasn't my idea.
**You do not have four minutes to save the world. In fact, there's really no point in worrying about world saving right now.

[RIN IS NOW OLD. Well. Older. Maybe 25. A fully-fledged exorcist with his coat and pin and everything. His hair is a little longer, pulled back in a ponytail. His ears are longer, his pupils slitted. Seems like the demon-ness gets worse as you get older! Still lets his tail hang out like a gross moron, though. And there's a spiky bracelet around the end of it, just above the poof. He'll never grow up. His sword is, as ever, slung over his shoulder.

His demon senses are much stronger, so he's able to detect the presence of a demon nearby. ]

Oiiii! I know you're there, demon! Show yourself, alright?!

[AND DANTE IS A BRATTY TEENAGER. Without a shirt, because shirts are for losers like you. Boy you don't even try to hide what you are, do you? And you're calling him a demon? Rude.

ALSO EXCUSE YOU HE IS BUSY USING BUILDINGS AS WALKWAYS THANK YOU VERY MUCH? But fine, he'll pause just for you since you asked so nicely. He peers over the edge of a roof, completely unimpressed.]

You should talk. What, somebody let you off your leash so you thought you'd go bark at the neighbors?

[wow what a punk. SURE REMINDS RIN OF SOMEONE....]

There you are! Woo, you're fast, guy! I'm all out of breath from chasing you.

[Except he's not, really. Rin grins, putting his hands on his hips]

Why don't you come down here, and we'll have a nice little talk, alright?

[A mirror ten or so years ago?]

Fat chance. Get lost before I call the pound, Fido.

[He is a busy guy and why are you following him don't you know that's rude? Learn some manners, tail guy.]

[like looking in a mirror. BACK THROUGH TIME]

Hate to break it to ya, kid, but...

[With a few jumps between the buildings, he ends up next to Dante, hands in his pockets]

I am the dog-catcher.

[he points to the badge on his lapel]

Knights of the True Cross, Exorcist First Class. Nice ta meet'cha. We got word of a demon running around here causing mischief. That wouldn't be you, would it? Hahaha!

[It's horrifying isn't it?

Woah, okay. Slightly impressive, but he still maintains that utterly unimpressed expression. Because it's mandatory.]

Would you get a load of this clown?

[He asks of no one in particular but himself, gesturing vaguely in Rin's direction.]

Right, well, whatever you and your fancy knights do how about you let the real devil hunters handle it. You just sit back, I'll show you how the professionals do it.

[That's not answering the question, Dante.]

Uhhh... who are you talking to, man? [he shrugs and shakes his head] No one up here but us chickens, you know!

[he pulls his sword off his back, but doesn't unsheathe it. Instead he just sort of leans on it] Ahh? Devil Hunters? I didn't know that there were other exorcist groups! Hehe! Though I guess it makes sense, huh? I mean, it's not like there's just ONE of anything out there! They call that a... uh... [he snaps his fingers] Monarchy! ... Wait, no. Monopoly! Heh! There we go.

[Himself and his shadow of course!

He just kind of. Stares at Rin like he's grown a second head.]

Right.

[You're insane, and way too excited about this what is wrong with you.]

So, how about you tell me what it is you know about this thing?

[Unless you actually are hunting him in which case ha-haaah, good luck.]

[HE LOVES HIS JOB OK. Being an exorcist is totally the coolest! Rin pulls a little piece of paper out of his pocket and unfolds it]

Ahh, let's see here... [squuuiiint] Says that there's not much known about this demon! Just that it's a high level, very sneaky... been hanging around here for a few weeks and might be responsible for the disappearances of a few kids. [he looks over the paper at Dante] So what you think? That you? You steal kids? What, you wanna eat them, or something? Ha!

Do I look like I eat kids?

[Are you serious right now?]

Come on, man. Say, how do I know you're not the demon and you're just trying to throw me off with the idiot act? I've had more than enough of those to deal with and don't have time for any more you hear me?

[You've not reached the level of being as annoying as Jester yet, but you might be getting close.]

Well, you never know! A high level demon might take a human body to hide in. Though... you don't seem like you're just possessing that body... Nope, I'd say not! I guess that means you're pretty special.

[Hmmm. That's a good point. Rin taps his chin, trying to think of something] Well... if my fancy pin doesn't convince ya, maybe these will. [he opens up his cloak and takes out what looks like a grenade] Demons aren't going to be carrying around holy water grenades, now are they! Ah, even though I have to wear gloves when I use them... If that doesn't do it for ya, I don't know what then! Besides, I'm only half demon.

Yeah... something like that.

[He's still giving Rin the most dubiously suspicious look ever. How can you tell all that just by looking at him? He doesn't like it, not one bit. Though it doesn't look like the holy water grenades do a good job of impressing him, either. He's got those too, dude.

But that next part sure is interesting.]

You don't say? Well what a surprise. Don't tell me, your old man ditched out and left you to the wolves, so now you're on a quest for revenge, am I right?

[He could be entirely wrong but look at him making broad generalizations.]

[Because he's the Prince of Hell, dude. There are some definite perks to go along with his heritage, even if he's the goofiest half-breed ever. It's hard to explain, but Rin had always been able to hear the thoughts of demons nearby. Detecting unique bits and pieces about them wasn't too far off from that]

Nah! [Rin flaps a hand, dismissive] I never knew my biodad personally. Only met him once, and he killed my real dad that night. So revenge...? When I was your age, that was the only thing I ever had in mind. It's still my goal, but, you know... [he shrugs and shakes his head] Satan doesn't really show up in Assiah too often. I'll wait for my chance.

[And here Dante's just some scrub traitor's son, look at you all high and mighty. With your silly tail. Not impressed by your silly tail, sir.]

[The kid looks a tad thoughtful at the explanation, but doesn't say anything about it. Sure does sound familiar though, really familiar. Revenge is a pretty strong driving factor for him as well, after all.]

Who, what? You lost me, dude.

[Still tempted to ditch and wander off, mind, he's a busy hunter and all.]

[pffft. Peasant. And you should be impressed by his tail, as it is very impressive. ~~Impressively adorable~~.]

Ahh. Nothing! Never mind. None of that's important. What's really important is tracking down this demon and making sure it stops causing--

[BLAM!! Something explodes nearby and Rin blinks, turning toward it]

So I guess it wasn't you after all! Gotta go, kid.

[AND jumping across rooftops to get over there. He doesn't tell Dante not to follow him, though. In fact, he's curious to see what this "devil hunter" can do]

Time for something fun!
