Anon Text | Mingle

[On the evening of the 13th, an anon text appears on the network. And wanting to stay anon, Jaskier decides to drop the cursive font he usually uses and try to tune down the flowery language. Will he succeed, though?]

Valentine's Day is tomorrow! A day to celebrate love and romance in all their forms! A perfect opportunity to have a scrumptious evening together with your beloved, or to confess to the secret object of your heart's profound affections!

[Already trying to sound like an expert as if he hadn't learned about this only a couple of days ago, that's Jaskier for you.]

I am aware, however, that not everyone has someone in their lives, and such a holiday may make them feel a little lonely. That is why I decided to share this little game I recently learned about! Everybody deserves to be flattered every now and then, and who knows! Maybe you may end up finding a date for tomorrow~.

They call this game "Hot or Not". The rules are very simple! You post a picture (or many!) of yourself, and other participants will let you know how attractive they think you are. Some people opt for only saying yes or no, but others prefer a rating system, like a scale of one to ten, or using a certain amount of stars.

Don't be shy! Tonight the world is at your feet.


[Jaskier, you totally suck at being anonymous.]




((ooc: Yep, this is the Hot or Not meme done ICly! I pitched the idea and plurk liked it so here it's a mingle for everyone to go crazy. Characters are welcome to post pictures of themselves, or their Pokémon, or even their friends (always check with the other player first, please!). Go around and rate, threadjack, complain about the network being used for this, the sky is your limit! Staying anon is absolutely an option for those shy souls out there, but "logging in" is also welcome! Just make sure to point out what your character is chooing on your tag. It would be really appreciated if you link the images instead of embedding them so this post doesn't become too heavy to load, especially for those on mobile. Remember to warn for any nsfw pictures that you may be using! Definitely don't embed those. I'll be turning notifs off for this post for obvious reasons so any questions/issues/etc please don't hesitate to pm/pp me! Have fun~))

It's asking people to rate others on how sexually appealing they are. I don't care if people want to do that sort of thing, but I just don't think it should happen where kids can see it. This sort of stuff can get pretty over the top.

[Or maybe Armin's only experience with this sort of thing is from teenage boys discussing which girls in the training regiment had it going on, and they certainly had never minced words. They would've been made to run so many laps if one of their instructors had heard.]

Oh.

I thought they had other... programs? for that. Like the one named for Fletchinder.

They do. Which is why I don't really understand the need to put this on the public network. But we might be in the minority on that.

[Cassandra doesn't really care as much as Armin seems to, as long as no one's actually being hurt or disturbed by it, but she tends to be very matter-of-fact about sex in general.]

The original message mentioned a holiday.

Ah, right, it's called Valentine's day. I'm not completely sure what the history of it is, but essentially, it's a day dedicated to romantic love. It's why all the shops have been decorated in pink and stocking chocolates and candy hearts and flowers. You are supposed to exchange them with someone you love or have a crush on.

It can get a little over the top, but it is pretty nice too.

It is the colour associated with romance in this world. I'm not sure why they picked that colour in particular. It might be because Luvdisc are pink, and they are one of the major symbols of love as well.
fearinahandfulof: (Huh?)

[personal profile] fearinahandfulof 2021-02-14 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
And Luvdisc are considered that because of their shape? Or would it be the other way around?

[personal profile] schachmeister 2021-02-14 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, now we are on a subject Armin feels comfortable with.]

Partially yes. It's also because of their habit of swimming after any couple it spots.

When two luvdisc kiss, they are also capable of flying for a short period of time as long as they keep touching. That's where the expression 'love makes the heart soar' comes from.

[Cassandra thinks about that, based on what she remembers of how they're shaped.]

That would require a great deal of trust. And coordination. I think?

[personal profile] schachmeister 2021-02-14 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
It does. Which makes them a pretty great symbol of love.
fearinahandfulof: (Shock)

[personal profile] fearinahandfulof 2021-02-18 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, that makes sense.

That might be true for some people, but there are also plenty of people for who this sort of thing is absolutely about sex.
ohmylord: (what)
