The Fairy Tale AU Meme



Step 1: Post a comment with the character name and fandom in the subject.
Step 2: Someone will respond with a number (RNG generated or just chosen based on whatever they prefer) between 1-11. They are now that character role in a story!
Step 3: You can either do the same to determine your character's role within that story! Feel free to twist the role around as necessary.
Step 4: Play and make merry!


Character Roles

1. Princess
One day your prince will come... Or maybe you're going after him! Or maybe you've been cursed/captured/whatever and are in need of rescue! Those towers won't climb themselves, and those kisses that awaken you from a century of slumber aren't exactly cheap.

2. Prince Charming/Heroic Knight
You're handsome (hopefully). You're charming (you think). You have a great outfit (this is debatable). Regardless, it's time to go find and rescue your one true love! ... Er, wherever she or he might be.

3. Villian
Man, those two up there sure are annoying, aren't they? Maybe it's time to do some kidnapping, curse some royalty, plague a kingdom, or whatever other nefarious deed you might be thinking of. In any case, the truly important thing is to make sure your cape and collar are appropriately intimidating and black.

4 . Red Riding Hood
... Or whichever other cute little girl that roams the woods in her free time that you can think of. You're cute, you have a pretty outfit, and there's something growling in the bushes but whatever it is, it can't be too dangerous, can it?

5 . Wolf
You're a wolf. Or a bear. Or some other animal. Or some random person with animal ears and a tail. Maybe you're evil, maybe you're just misunderstood, but you still can't stand those annoying people that keep wandering around your forest. Maybe they're even in your house, eating your food! The nerve! Or maybe they just look delicious, who knows.

6 . Dragon
You're a fucking dragon. Maybe you've kidnapped a snack, maybe someone came to hunt you down, maybe some hobbit is stealing your treasure, maybe you're just chilling. You're a dragon.

7 . Witch
Bring out the hat and broomstick, it's time to get the cauldron bubbling. Good, misunderstood, evil, who knows what you are. Except for a witch. You're definitely a witch. Try to avoid shoving small children into your oven and you should be fine.

8 . Cheery Animal Sidekick
Cheep cheep! Boy that princess sure is pretty, huh? You should sing with her and do her chores for her and obey her slavishly- wait... Well, whatever you're doing, you're cute and small and mildly annoying.

9 . Cursed Prince
Life was just perfect for you, until you got on the wrong side of that witch/wizard/cheery animal sidekick pushed just too far. Now you're cursed! Into a beast? Into a frog? Maybe you have really bad acne now? It could be anything (seriously, anything you can think of) but luckily, the cure is simple. Find your one true love and get that magical first kiss.

10. Fairy Godmother
When your princess is in need, she's only got one person to turn to. Her fairy godmother. It's your job to advise her, help get her out of any scrapes she happens to be in, or maybe you got her in the mess to begin with.

11. Random Extra
Wow, all those other guys sure are weird, aren't they? You'll just get back to work. Even with all this nonsense going on, life continues.

THE SUPERHERO AU MEME

Being a superhero can be fun, or taxing, or even stressful. But sometimes, it can happen when we least expect it. Whether you were a mutant in an X-Men AU, or a more 'simple' superhero with a few powers in the grander Marvel or DCU timelines, or even gained a superpower in your normal world and changed your life with it, this meme is for you!

1. Post your characters, list any preferences, specify whether you would be okay with shipping or no, and list those preferences too, if so. (Additionally, add what kind of power(s) your character would have for the prompts to make tagging out easier!)

2. RNG or pick a prompt and tag each other!

3. HAVE FUN!


Prompts:

1. Mutant/X-Men AU - You're a mutant, either the cause of an accident or some other means and you grew up having to deal with these powers. How do you handle daily life? Are you attending Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters? Or are you considering it? Better make that decision fast, because life can be pretty rough if other non-mutants know you have powers...

2. Marvel/DC/other general superhero AU - You may be human, you may be an alien, but somehow or another you have powers that can aid or harm you and others. Do you use it for good? Bad? Remember that there are other superheroes and supervillains out there, so you don't have everything to yourself. And you're not invincible either. Make friends and/or enemies, and make yourself known!

3. Suddenly superpowers!? - Your non-superpowered character just gained a superpower by some unknown means in their normal canon! What is the power, and what are they doing with it? Are you saving others, or trying to take over the world? Are there others who accidentally got powers? How's that working out?

4. Wildcard - Mix things up, create something different, give your superheroes different powers if they don't fit into the above three prompts! Go nuts! It's a meme, bullshit the rules if you have to.
