BREAKING ALL THE RULES!

[madeofwyn.livejournal.com]

So, Mica obviously handled the meme side of things while I was away, but now I'm back! And I have a shamelessly stolen meme! (Well, of course I do. This is my job, people.) So anyway, here's the...

SLEEPOVER MEME!




1. IT'S A SLEEPOVER HELL YES
2. No, really, it's a sleepover-- the most cliche sleepover in the universe. You may be at a slumber party with 10 people, or you might just be with your best friend, but this is the best. sleepover. ever.
3. Your setting is embarrassingly cute. All the blankets and pillows are adorable-- baby pandas, kittens, fluffy clouds,- and it's all in pale pink and blue. It looks like ten year old girls were in charge of the decorations. You have ridiculous fluffy bunny slippers to wear, your pajamas have puppies awkwardly placed over strategic spots and show too much skin/hairy leg to be decent, and there is even more awkwardness because you all have to share one bathroom.
4. You could play sleepover games, like truth or dare or spin the bottle! If you choose to watch a movie, keep in mind that only scary movies will be available to watch, for appropriate shrieking and clinging. Your characters may also be compelled to gossip and do each others' hair and makeup. Even if they're boys. Especially if they're boys.
5. Post and tag around and make your character hate themselves forever.

I'm not that cute.

[[Pout. Come on. Any sighted persons passing by would disagree, but even his voice is cute.]]

Eee, Bee is kyewt.

::Chirp. Out he bumbles in all his fuzzy-thing glory. Yeah. Big fuzzy slippers that run the constant risk of falling right off his feet, fuzzy pyjamas. Fuzzy. Everywhere.
Nudge. Raspberry.::

[morphitudinous]

[[Fond sigh.]]

Oh come on, not you too! I hear that often enough from the women.

[[He'll just gently poke his Renne.]]

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

::Poke back. And a nosing::

Eee. Bee IS kyewt! Why Bee noh thin-k?

[morphitudinous]

[Laughs. Hey, all that fuzz tickles.]

It's just...it's difficult to explain, but it's embarrassing for a male to be called cute.

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

Eeee, why? Is sil-lee!

::Chitter. Hey, Billy, guess what! BIG FUZZY THING POUNCING YOU!::

[morphitudinous]

Whoa! I see I don't even warrant your usual warning anymore.

[Hugs, turning human and Renne into giant ball of fuzz.]

Men are culturally expected to be masculine and eschew all things considered 'cute'. A 'cute' guy isn't one that women want to date. They want someone they perceive as strong.

Uh-choo? Ah-skews Bee. Bee si-ck? ::A pause:: Do Bee wahn-t Ma-te? Why? Is kyewt noh strrrron-g?

::Purr. Nudge:: Heee.

[morphitudinous]

Well...I suppose I'll be all right if I stay single, but I want to find a romantic partner someday. I think it would be an enjoyable experience to share my life with someone in that way. And in my culture, and most of the ships' cultures, most women prefer that their mate not be associated with cuteness.

[Hair-ruffle. He sees what you're doing there.]

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

::Oh, do you? Hair-ruffle-attempt right back. And a nosing. Nyah.::

Eeee. The-rrre be Fee-male fohrrr Bee, Rrrr-enne thin-k. Smahrrrt Fee-male, li-ke Bee. Stuhb-borrrrn too.

[morphitudinous]

I can only hope that you're right.

[Billy grins and flops down on the soft things beside them, extending an arm to pick up a book.]

What were you doing with all these books?

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

::He's flopping with! Well, not that it makes much difference, Fluffball meeting fluffball. Purrr::

Eee. Rrrr-enne trrry, rrread so Rrrr-enne be Nuhrrrd. ::Chirp. Lots of printed books there, things on history, science and one oddball: Something about Saint Nick::

[morphitudinous]

[[Aww. Billy tries to position Renne comfortably while he digs through the books.]]

A tale about Christmas?

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

::Purr. Then...Oh, yeah, blush::

Eeee. Eeey-ess.

[morphitudinous]

Shall we read it?

[Billy curls in, adjusting Renne and the book in position so they can enjoy the story together.]

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

Eee!

::Squeak. Oh, Billy, you get a series of nuzzles. A minute or so later, the oddity does his memory-thing and ends up with a cup of hot cocoa in each paw::

Bee wahn-t?

[morphitudinous]

Thank you.

[Feeling warm and cozy, he takes the mug and sips. It's delicious, as always.]

All right, let's read. [And it's open.] Once upon a time...
