It's For Your Own Good

Blind Date Meme



Let's face it, sometimes it's difficult finding someone to share your time, and your heart (or maybe just your body), with. Luckily for you, you have well meaning friends. Unfortunately for you, you have well meaning friends who didn't tell you this was coming. That's right. They have taken it upon themselves (and no doubt friends of friends or family members or someone else who clearly doesn't know you) to arrange a date. Without telling you.

That's right. The dreaded blind date. Which means now you've got to get through at least a reasonable amount of time with a total stranger (or maybe not a stranger if you're particularly, well, we can't say if it's lucky or not) before you can reasonably escape. Maybe it will go well. Maybe this will be the start of the rest of your lives. Maybe you'll get laid. Maybe you'll have a horror story for the ages.

No matter what plays out, though, you're here. Might as well see just how your luck is going to play out.

How to Play

1. Post your character and canon below along with any preferences. Then go back and edit your comment with the next number in order (i.e. first TL is 1, second is 2, etc)

2. Tag other TLs. If a character isn't in normal preferences, ask if they might want a date that goes poorly instead!

3. Optionally, get yourself a truly blind experience by going here and randomly generating a number. Then find the matching TL (numbered back in step one) and enjoy your blind date.

4. For more fun, use the list in the first comment for randomized date locations!

Gladiolus Amicitia | FFXV | 1

[ziedrich_bearer]

[m/m or m/f, good with anyone 21+, could have been put up to this by literally ANYONE he knows, including his sister or father.]

Robin Buckley | Stranger Things | 2

[work_wife]

[f/f for serious, m/f for an absolute disaster, 17-21 range, but I can age her up to college aged upon request, this definitely happened because of a well meaning member of The Party]

Reeve Tuesti | FF7 | 3

[plate_builder]

[Good with anyone 21+. Happy with disaster dates, and dates to unlikely places. Was probably put up to this by Tifa.]

Rhy Maresh | Shades of Magic | 4

[unbreakable_king]

[m/m, m/f, or other; best in the early twenties range.]

Tae Takemi | Persona 5 | 5 (yes that was deliberate)

[butterfly_kiss]

[m/m by preference, m/f could be interesting as I have no clue if it would go well or be a disaster.]

David Alleyne/Prodigy | Marvel Comics | 6

[helpdesk_hero]

[anyone welcome, 18+, yes even with age gaps because his friends WOULD do that to him]

Genesis Rhaphsodos | FF7 | 7 (I'm very deliberate)

[silent_sacrifice]

[Yes. To all. Especially if it's a disaster.]

Billy Hargrove | Stranger Things | 8

[california_dreaming]

[m/f or m/m, 16-20 age range but I'm actually happy to age him up to surviving college aged for more fun too on request]

Lauri-Ell | Marvel Comics | 9

[kree_soldieress]

[f/f for serious, f/m for hilarious fail as she realizes yes, this does not work for her at all.]

Hawkeye/Clint Barton | Marvel Avengers Assemble | 10

[wisecracking_shot]

[Anyone 21+, it is more likely to be a disaster than not, it's HIM.]

Jasper | Dragon Quest XI | 11 (okay this one was pure luck)

[envious_shadow]

[m/f or m/m welcome, no age concerns one way or another, seriously this something some fellow knight put him up to and he doesn't know why he's here]

Tommy Shepherd/Speed | Marvel Comics | 12

[doubled_speed]

[m/m, m/f, or other all welcome. Can play him either 18ish and thus anyone young, or more current canon around 22ish. Blame his sister or brother or Rebecca Kaplan for this, he will.]

Rude | FFVII | 13

[looking_sharp]

[m/f and m/m welcomed, 21+, extra points if they are someone who has had bad run-ins with the law.]

Ravus Nox Fleuret | FFXV | 14

[disarming_prince]

[m/m preferred, m/f also accepted but may be more awkward for reasons I can't explain.]

Magnus Bane | Shadowhunters | 15

[regal_magus]

[Everyone at any age of legal consent. The stranger the better. He probably found a way to inflict this on himself for amusement. Don't judge him.]

Warren Peace | Sky High | 16

[burning_youth]

[m/f preferred, m/m welcomed as something he wasn't expecting to be into or perhaps high awkwardness. 16-19 preferred, but if you rng something older, I can age him up to college reasonable.]

Cidolfus Telamon | Final Fantasy XVI | 17

[thunderwarden]

[m/f preferred for serious, m/m for disaster or broship (he's a troll). 21+ preferred, but I don't mind an age gap if the chemistry's there. I promise there will be no spoilers unless you tell me it's okay.]

[thunderwarden]

[Meeting a red-head at a street fair seemed like a good idea at the time, except if it's the one currently looking over the fried goods over yonder, she's young enough to be his daughter.

Wonderful. Ah, well, the night may not be a complete bust. She seems to have good taste in food.

He takes a spot beside her looking over the menu as he runs a hand over his jaw thoughtfully.]

Deep-fried chocolate, is it? Hell of a start to an evening.

wow yeah her hair really does look auburn in that shot

[work_wife]

[Fried foods are the antithesis of all things hippie. Yes, it's not necessarily the best rebellion she's had, but it's currently a balm for the ache in her chest over the fact that today is NOT GOING AS PLANNED.

Steve had said that he had a surprise for her, and to meet him at this specific area, and she's been waiting for an hour. A full hour. Can you believe it? Someone was going to pay for this.

And then bam. Older dude with a rough voice just siddling up and yeah, she has to snort in amusement.]

I mean, the evening started long enough ago that I've decided to go out the only honorable way. Heart attack on a stick. Really, it's the caramel part of the deep fried Snickers that is really gonna get ya.

It really did lol

[thunderwarden]

Woman after my own heart. [Figuratively or literally, if the food was to dictate the rest of the evening.] Death by chocolate's as grand as any exit should be.

[He places his hands on his hips, rocking his weight to one foot as he continues to regard the strange assortment of food.]

Sorry to hear I've kept you so long. I'm usually more punctual, but I was never given a time.

[It's an assumption, he's aware.]

So, pick your poison and we'll skip dinner. Least I can do is expedite your end, seeing as I kept you waiting half the night.

[tevinteraltus]

[He isn't at all surprised to arrive at the café first. While his dear friend the Inquisitor was apt to be fashionably late (as he was if he were honest with himself), she at least usually had a rather good reason, and so he was pleased to wait, even orders as he has no idea when she might arrive.

He selects a table near the window to watch for her approach and happily sips an espresso while opening the book he's brought with him: a history on fauna in the area.

The darkly handsome stranger approaching catches his attention, though, and his olive eyes linger on that jawline a bit longer than they rightly should.]

Lord El-Melloi II/Waver Velvet | LE2 Case Files | 18

[ask_whydunit]

[ M/M for serious, M/F if you want a funny disaster thread. 21+ only for older Waver, but I can also give you teen Waver in the 17-19 range (I have icons!) if you want to do something different. Older Waver is probably here because someone is meddling with his personal life (Reines and co.) and made him, younger Waver might have gotten dragged along with one of his classmates (Melvin). ]

Sigma | BSD | 19

[bornofwords]

[ Anyone of age! He doesn't know what he's doing here, it's anyone's guess really. Totally up for a disaster interaction (he's very gullible), if you're character is nice to him he'll be very nice and super interested in learning more about them. ]

Gray | LE 2 Casefiles | 20

[ghostlyflame]

[ F/F or M/F welcome, preferably 16-20 given her age. Smol sweet ace, is probably only here because she's keeping an eye on her mentor and accidentally ended up signed up for a blind date. What is her life? Also there's a third wheel under her little cloak, don't be surprised if you hear snickering and can't tell where it's coming from. ]
