"What Are You Looking For?"
We writers know what kind of CR we have in mind for our characters, but what is it that our characters are looking for? Do they want a new friend, a steamy hook-up, a sparring partner, a new nemesis? Are they actively on the hunt for love? Do they even know?
Maybe they're not looking for anything at all, and they're content with what they have.
Or... maybe they're desperate for human connection of any kind, but internal hang-ups surrounding vulnerability and intimacy are standing in their way.
What fun!
- No blank top-levels.
- Instead, characters are to respond to the proposed question: what are you looking for?
- Tag around! Maybe you'll find it!

you shoulda seen the other guy... 🩸 comment with your character. they're on the brink of death and have been unceremoniously dumped somewhere. yeah, that's all their blood... 🩹 anyone who comments is the lucky good samaritan who discovers them. 🩸 at least you'd better pray they're filled with the milk of human kindness. they could heal you, but there's always the alternative. 🩹 what if they're an angel of death who'll finish the job? |

A kiss would fix me
Sep. 7th, 2025 07:12 amshiftyeyed posting in bakerstreet
kissing. that's it, that's the meme.
ONE: comment with your character and preferences.
TWO: you're kissing.
THREE: reply to others.
FOUR: no, seriously, they're kissing.
FIVE: whether there's backstory behind it, whether this has been building-building-BUILDING up or you've just met or you've been cursed by the universal, non-season specific hanging festive object of your choice and you can't escape until you smooch OR you literally just tripped into somebody's lips, if doesn't matter. btw it doesn't have to be on the mouth. live your best creative life.
SIX: it's a thing. it's happening. so you probably better let the people in the back know if you want assumed CR, gentle kisses on the forehead only, if you prefer gen/platonic kisses for the kids, crack threads, frenching, one-sided or misunderstood intentions and mistaken identities, whatevs.
SEVEN: kissin'. kiss kiss fall in love motherf-
what are friends for

ｆｒｉｅｎｄｓ ｗｉｔｈ ｂｅｎｅｆｉｔｓ
sex friends. fuck buddies. friends with benefits. no matter what you call it, it's the perfect arrangement: you get to enjoy awesome sex and an awesome friendship, without any of the complications that come from being romantically involved. there's no drama, no threat of heartbreak, and no pressure to commit — just good friends having good sex.
unless one of you catches feelings, of course. but you wouldn't do that, would you?

texting meme.
Sep. 6th, 2025 11:20 pmkhaleesock posting in bakerstreet
You’ve got your TFLN, you’ve got your sexting, now here’s the meme for all those gen texts, phone calls, voicemails, pictures of your cats, and whatever else your little heart can come up with, because who doesn't like a little old fashioned friendly texting. (Or enemy texting, if that's more your bag.)
instructions: What it says on the tin! Leave a comment with your character, include preferences, a start, absolutely nothing or whatever you want. Run around and reply to others. Lather, rinse, repeat.

relationship status | a meme ♡
the single premise. single. taken. it's complicated. pining for my best friend. seriously, mentally devoted to my fellow mech pilot. in a committed relationship with the monster who ate my brother. dumped. whatever their lot in love, your character has been forced to wear a button displaying their relationship status for the world to see.
so, put their pride/shame in the header. then tag around!
Help with sidebar display - Missing header for navlinks?
Sep. 7th, 2025 08:52 ammerrileemakes posting in style_systemHello! I am a new DW member and in the process of transferring my blog over.
I'm playing around with the Buttercup Summer theme and happy with everything I can modify, except one thing. This layout has the navlinks in the sidebar, which is great, but the text overlaps the icons in the profile module slightly.
Looking at the source for my page, I *think* this because the navlinks module doesn't have a H2 header. If I wanted to add a H2 to the navlinks module (like the text highlighted below), how do I do that? I've tried the 'Use embed CSS' box on the Custom CSS page but I don't think that's the right approach (and it doesn't work).
Wait, I think this is because the S2 base layer has the code:
# Modules without titles: navlinks, time, poweredby
Do I need to made a custom S2 and remove navlinks from the 'Modules without titles' section? Is there an easier way to get my sidebar to look pretty and not have overlapping text?

Blurred
Sep. 6th, 2025 03:28 pmwheesockies posting in bakerstreetBLURRED  For most people, the lines between platonic and romantic are very clearly drawn. Not true for you two; friendship and romance intermingle in your relationship, and to be honest, it's hard to discern where one ends and the other begins. You're bosom buddies. There's a spark between you. You're lovers, too, maybe, or it could be completely innocent. You're love interests. You're intimate, you're close, you're ride or die. You don't understand why romantic and platonic can't coexist. You don't need labels. HOW TO PLAY

First time
Sep. 6th, 2025 11:54 amsimplememes posting in bakerstreet| THE ❝FIRST TIME❞ MEME |
RULES! ♥ Leave a comment with your character's name and fandom. ♥ When replying, RNG for a number between 1 and 7. The number you get corresponds with the kind of "first time" sex you're having ♥ Go from there! The sky's the limit. |
| THE LIST! 01] Romantic | You waited and waited and waited for the right moment to take this final step with your partner, and it really paid off; neither of you can imagine this night (or day!) to be any better than it is right now. 02] The Only Time | You know somewhere in your heart that you won't be getting a second chance for this. The relationship is forbidden, or they're moving away, or you're moving away, or something is tearing this relationship apart, and that may be the last thing you want. 03] Set-Up | ... Oh. Well. Someone nudged you and this other person together, the one that you may have loved or hated or been friends with your entire life. It isn't completely by choice, but it doesn't sound like that bad of an idea... Or maybe it does. Who knows? 04] Experience Difference | One of you knows exactly what to do, and the other doesn't! Maybe they're just a natural at this kind of thing... or maybe there's a thing or two they haven't told you yet. 05] Hesitant | One (or both) of you aren't quite sure if you're ready for this next big step... at the same time, you want this to happen, though the thought makes butterflies flutter around in the pit of your stomach. 06] Awkward | It feels like everything that can go wrong does go wrong. Relax? You can't relax! This is s-s-s-s-sex-- oh, boy, there's another mistake. 07] Wildcard | This is the "other" option. Choose any of the above or create your own! [credit goes to connikebox] |
Intimate bathing
Sep. 6th, 2025 11:44 amreversesock posting in bakerstreetthe intimate bathing meme;   |
Grooming is an important part of many species' rituals. It keeps them clean, healthy, and content. And a good bath? It can change the whole tone of a day from terrible to relaxed and blissful. But nudity is sometimes viewed as a weakness - and it is almost always sexualized - so bathing is often kept a private matter. If you do share these moments with someone, they're almost always a significant other or a sexual partner. Like you're doing now. Whether it be after a battle or after sex (or before sex, even), the two of you are going to get clean. Be sure to help each other out with that, won't you? After all, there are places on the back that just can't be reached... HOW TO PLAY:

✱ Comment with your character. Feel free to include a link to a picture of them at their best/most flattering/cutest/beautiful/handsome/most appealing/etc.
✱ Other characters areforced to ~~gently compelled~~ to admit the one part of yours they find the most attractive. Hair? Eyes? Muscles? That height? That mole? That ass...umption that they're a great person?
✱ Your character now has to flip all the scripts and fess up to others.
✱ Rinse. Repeat. Regret.
✱ Of course, if they're boring, some people might be drawn to a personality trait over a physical one.
✱ But that cute smile, tho. Lemme swoon.
