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

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.

Oh, there are tons of people. From the past and future, other worlds...

It's pretty amazing.

[She just hopes that anyone else who sees him will hold back a little.]

We can, but after a point, the world kind of ends and we either have to go back, or we somehow end up back at a location inside the city. I think that we're in a pocket dimension, and a friend of mine suggested that while that may be true, parts of this world act like a Möbius strip.

[The boy pulls a face, abject disgust at the idea that there is no real freedom.]

Just dumping us back where we came form. That's hardly a fair trial.

[He maybe is starting to correlate this to some sort of test, at this point. What did that make Jane though?]

Sounds like you've been here for a while.

[bifroster]

[Just another person caught up in the experiment.]

I have been. A little over a year. It kind of grows on you.

[neverbeamemory]

[Or part of it? The boy's head tilts again to the side up at her, as if to consider-]

One whole year with no way out? That can't be right.

[bifroster]

It's right. There have been others who have been here longer than me. Sometimes people go away for a while, or go back home, but they always come back.

[neverbeamemory]

[The frown that starts to crease at this boy's expression is much more adult that a 7 year-old really should be able to sport. He mirrors a comment that his adult-self said, but it's without his characteristic deeper tones.]

That sounds incredibly chaotic. Random even.

[bifroster]

It is. It totally is.

But that is how the universe works somehow; there is order somewhere in it all, we just haven't looked back far enough.
