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.

[earlybird]

[ He huffs right back, thwacking her once with the flower stems before standing up. ]

-Tt.- You're lucky Pendragon would be disappointed if I beat you black and blue.

[ Both flowers and chocolates have found their way into his hands, only the flowers a little beat up, but mostly intact. He glares down at her, the goods held in a curl against his chest. ]

And for the record? I am exceedingly graceful. A maiden, however, I am not.

[penisenvy]

[She gets up and dusts herself off.]

Alright already. You're still a warrior, even though you're the girl now.

[And he reminds her even more of herself.]

But, you know, there wasn't any other way for a knight to woo a woman back in my time.

[earlybird]

[ He snorts, poking his nose into the box of candies, because priorities. He doesn't really have much of a taste for chocolate aside from Junior Mints, but even he hums, pleased, at the bittersweet taste of a dark cocoa truffle. ]

Welcome to the modern age, Red. Now you can simply woo whoever you wish, regardless of anything at all.

[ And, yes, because he is generous, he holds up the box of stolen given chocolates to her, offering, even as he picks out another with a discerning eye. ]

Where'd you get these, anyway?

[penisenvy]

[She takes one and pops it in her mouth.]

I took them from a shop display window. Where else would I get them?

[earlybird]

[ He rolls his eyes - that's thievery, Red. But he can't bring himself to point that out when he's already picked out another. ]

They're good. Dark chocolate's really the only kind I like. Everything else is too sweet.

[ He smirks around his chocolate, suddenly mischievous and smug, kicking his foot out to nudge at her shin playfully. ]

If you want to actually woo someone, sorry, but you'll just have to get more chocolates. These are now mine.

[ Seized your candies, Mordred. There's no getting them back. ]

[penisenvy]

[She sputters indignantly.]

Hey! You can't confiscate things from a royal!

[earlybird]

[ He's already darting back out of reach, teeth flashing in a rare grin as he pops yet another in his mouth, just to rub it in. ]

I'm a royal, and as you are in my territory, I can confiscate whatever I wish! I'm taking your warg, too.

[ Except the reach he's used to for her is much, much shorter. ]

[penisenvy]

[She makes a swipe at Damian, taking advantage of her increased reach.]

Hey! I tamed that warg fair and square!

[Meanwhile, the warg gives a little whimper, as if in protest.]

[earlybird]

Hah, take it up with your embassy-agh!

[ Wow, no, much longer reach - Damian's sweatshirt gets snagged in the swipe, and he's suddenly yanked off balance mid-step. ]

Hey!

[ Tables turned, and he has made a grave miscalculation. ]

[penisenvy]

[She snickers and starts pulling him in.]

Technically, this place is my embassy, since it belongs to my father.

[She's glad she's finally found some use for this big, stupid body. Well, more use than just trolling, anyways.]

[earlybird]

[ The box of candies is held as far away from her as his arms can reach, leaning away from the pulling uncooperatively and squirming to twist his sweatshirt out of her grip. ]

-Tt,- get off!

[ This is ridiculous, she's not supposed to be that tall--! ]

[penisenvy]

Make me.

[She sticks her tongue out at him.]

[However, what she doesn't notice is that Damian's shirt has begun to fray, between her grip and his struggling.]

[earlybird]

[ One more twist is all it takes for the fabric to break at the neck, sending him toppling to the ground with a surprised yelp as he overbalances, the fall knocking the wind out of him.

(He's still gripping the box, though. Priorities.) ]

Ow.

[ That's as close to a pained whine as he's ever gotten, pushing himself up to sit back on folded legs and rubbing at his stinging stomach. He gets his breath back a moment later, and promptly spends it on a complaint. ]

That was dumb.

[penisenvy]

[She yelps when he slips out of her grasp, but starts laughing at his plight when she sees him on the ground.]

Your fault for squirming around!

[earlybird]

[ He turns his head to scowl sulkily up at her, one armed wrapped around his stomach and the other hand clutching the (by now, battered) box. The neckline of his sweatshirt's been stretched and ripped beyond salvage, hanging off a thin shoulder; he picks at it with an annoyed click of the tongue. ]

You're a jackass.

I liked you better before.

[ With the shorter reach. And the shorter everything else. ]

[penisenvy]

And you're a brat.

[She gives him a surprised look when she hears him say he liked her better before.]

...Really?

[earlybird]

Of course.

[ Duh. Why wouldn't he? He rolls to his feet, brushing himself off huffily. ]

You're you either way, but that's the you-you.

[ It makes sense, shut up. ]

[bloodofthefather]

...

[She blushes and turns her face away.]

...T-thank you.

[She should know already that she's just fine the way she is, but she had still been curious about what she would be like as a man. And now that she's feeling big and dumb and awkward in her new body, she's glad to get reassurance that she was fine the way she was before.]

[earlybird]

-Tt.- Don't make it a moment.

[ Now she's getting him embarrassed. ]

It's just the truth.

[ Don't be weird. ]

[penisenvy]

[She nods.]

And...I like you better as you were before too. Though I'm glad that becoming a girl hasn't changed you in any way.

[earlybird]

[ He scrunches his nose at her, lofty. ]

Besides physically, why would it? I remain me.

[ Skilled, deadly, impressive him. Son of Batman. ]

Being ten worked out in my favor for this, anyway. Have you seen Grayson?

[penisenvy]

No.

..Do you think he's been changed by this too?

[earlybird]

He has. Protrusions.

[ In all seriousness, Damian (tiny, scrappy little tomboy that he looks like, now), makes the gesture at his chest, voice dropping low in a whisper. ]

He hugged me. I nearly suffocated.

[ Scandalized. ]

[penisenvy]

[She bends over from laughter.]

...Now that would have been an embarrassing method of death or injury.

[earlybird]

[ He scowls at her. This is serious, it was attempted murder. ]

Keep laughing. Just you wait until he does the same to you.
