soulmate tattoo meme

Maybe you're completely blindsided, or maybe a little part of you knew all along. Maybe they're a complete stranger, maybe they're your best friend or worst enemy, but that doesn't matter anymore. What does matter is that you saw a very familiar mark somewhere on their person, the same mark that you were born with, and you know that can only mean one thing.

How to Play:

This is a soulmate tattoo meme, which means that when two people share a mark, they're meant to be together. Always.
Post with your character | fandom | and any preferences.
Either leave a blank comment or clarify which prompts you prefer or would rather avoid.
Tag Others.
Be awesome to each other.
Have fun!

PROMPTS.

1. BEST FRIENDS: You've been best friends for a long time, maybe you're entire life, but this is the first time you've seen their mark, whether it be because you walked in on them changing, decided to take a dip in the pool, or you just haven't been paying attention until now.
2. WORST ENEMIES: No, not them. Anyone but them. You're going to do everything in your power to deny that this is even happening at all.
3. REJECTION: Soulmate marks are stupid, it's way too unrealistic to assume that you'll find one other person with the same tattoo when the human population is in the literal billions. So when you do find them, it would make you a bit of a hypocrite to really do anything about it, right? Right. Hopefully they feel the same way.
4. STRANGER: You're just walking to work or hanging out in your favorite coffee shop when you see a familiar mark on a very unfamiliar person. What do you do? Do you chase them down? Be sure not to embarrass yourself! First impressions are everything.
5. PLATONIC: Just because the word 'soulmate' has romantic suggestion to it doesn't mean it has to be romantic. Maybe the person you share your mark with loves you in a different way.
6. UNOBTAINABLE: You're just minding your business, watching the Oscars or MTV or a documentary when you see your mark on the body of a celebrity. Most awkward fan mail ever.
7. WILDCARD: None of the prompts catching your eye? Make your own!

[She's quiet during his rant. It's true, she does want those things. Who wouldn't? To be in love with the person you're with and for every moment to be an adventure. She used to dream that one day she and Eddy would end up like that, but he's cold and flat, so she told herself she liked that instead. She doesn't want to want those things anymore. This freedom that she'll never experience aside from in his words and in her imagination. The weight of reality crushes her, though, at the end of his speech.

She nods. Yes, she wants that. She wants that more than anything, but she's come to terms with her life. Her family needs this to be a success. She's their only child. It's easier to deny wanting what you want when you know you can't get it, but this is right here in front of her. She wants this life. The rush of not knowing where they'll end up and everything being a game. She wants it more than she can say. The conflict shows on her face as she tries to force the ideas back out of her head.]

[ Andy's voice lowers and his expression softens because he can see that she's upset and that wasn't his intention at all. But she looks like she needs to be empowered right then, so he does it. ]

...well then...make it happen. It's your life. It's nobody else's. And it doesn't have to be with me or that stuffed shirt loser who sounds like the ultimate snoozefest if all he wants is to have dinner parties and make a million babies — not that babies aren't awesome, because babies are awesome, but you know what I mean, right? — it doesn't have to be with anyone, if that's what you want, but just take it. You know? You can...and you should. That's what life's all about. ...you only get to have one, so you have to make it great.

	I'd... I'd lose everything, Andy. More than the money, my parents would stop talking to me. All of my friends are his friends. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...not all of your friends. [ He gestures to himself with one hand and gives a facial shrug. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't...think it works that way? I mean, we have the marks for a reason, you know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Even though it's all a risk based off of some superstition, she trusts that this is something more. She has him right now in this moment, her supposed soulmate. Something deep inside of her tells her that it's all going to work out as long as they're together.] Yeah, you're right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Let's do this. Coffee, talk, get to know each other. See where it goes? (Reply to this) (Parent)
