Time for something fun!

[untilavalon]

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

courtesy of Luc*

Directions

1. 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".


2. 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 blinks a few times and scratches at his head]

Uh... well... It's cause I'm half demon. And... demons have elemental afflictions [sic] and stuff. So I'm a fire type demon. I guess. Technically!

[kyotoprincess]

A fire demon!

[Look at that smile spread across his face.]

Mister Shima uses fire demons too!

[flashover]

[Shima? So that family is tamers, huh]

I'll let you in on a little secret, kid. [he crouches down and whispers conspiratorially] It's because fire demons are totally the most rad.

[kyotoprincess]

[Everyone is tamers there, they have to worry about the constant threat of a rot demon escaping.]

Not when it rains. Then they get all sleeping and don't do nothin'.

[flashover]

Well, yeah. Water is bad for fire demons, obviously. Maybe they just need umbrellas!

[kyotoprincess]

Do you got an umbrella? Or are you useless in the rain too?

[flashover]

Nah, man. The rain doesn't bother me too much. It makes it a little harder to keep the fires lit, but I'm too tough to be stopped by a little rain! [he puffs out his chest... then pauses] ... Holy water is a different story, though.. that stuff stings...

A-anyway. What's your name, kid? What are you doin' around here, anyway?

[kyotoprincess]

Ryuuji!

[He doesn't give his last name, because what kid does that?]

And I dunno, I just walked around and I was here. Dad should be here somewhere, I was with him.

1/2

[flashover]

Ryuuji! [could it be... that Rin has put two and two together...??] With the symbol for "dragon" in it, right?

2/2

[flashover]

.....

That's a great name! I have a friend named that!

[.... nope.]

Hm... Well, alright, let's see if we can find your dad! What's he look like?

[kyotoprincess]

[Bon just nods in return. It really is a good name, he likes his name.]

Yeah! My dad's got the same one in his name! But it's, um...Tatsu-something, not Ryuu-something.

And he's big and bald with a little mustache.

[flashover]

Totally rad!

[Rin taps a finger to his chin, forming a mental picture] So... he kind of looks like a Daruma doll, is that right? He shouldn't be hard to find! C'mon. [and because Rin is a great big brother type guy, he takes a hold of the kids hand]

[kyotoprincess]

[Bon had never thought of that before, but he really does look like a Daruma doll. And now he's laughing at the mental image.

BUT YES being led around by Rin now. Because obviously Rin knows where to go, he's a lot older!]

[flashover]

[OBVIOUSLY. Rin is the most smartest. He knows everything.

As they walk, and Rin looks for the guy, he gets to thinking. As he thinks, he begins to realize... Ryuuji... That familiar face... daruma-doll dad. Could it be?

way to take FIVEEVER to figure it out, Rin]

Uh... This might be a weird question, but... your family name wouldn't happen to be "Suguro", would it?

[kyotoprincess]

[It's okay Rin we all know you take a while to figure things out

Bon nods.]

Uh-huh. How'd you know?

[flashover]

Holy crap--!

[Rin STOPS WALKING RIGHT AWAY, looking down at the kid (Suguro?!) with his hand over his mouth. He blinks a few times. Why didn't he see it right away?! It's because his hair is all one color... and he's so skinny as a kid! What should he do? How should he handle this?!]

Um... ah... Well.. Lucky guess!! Haha!

[kyotoprincess]

[Just like any other kid? This Bon has no idea what's going on, besides Rin being weird all of a sudden.]

Do you know my dad?

[Because obviously that's the reason Rin is acting weird now.]

[flashover]

[think of a good lie think of a good lie think of a good lie-- DING!]

Uh... yeah! Well, I'd never SEEN him before, but... I read something he wrote about... demon swords! Yeah!

[nailed it]

[kyotoprincess]

What's a demon sword?

[flashover]

Just what it sounds like! A sword that demon possesses, or lends its power to. They're really helpful for exorcisms and stuff!
