CR MEME!

Another three months have come and gone, so it is time for another CR meme. This time a winter themed one.

Please share your ideas for interactions you'd love your character to have, or plots you're rolling around in your head that might need a few more folks. Is your character looking for a friend? An enemy? A rival? You can find it all here. And remember, the more detailed, the better! We all want all the CR, but specific plans, or at least a specific direction you want to take something in, will really help out everybody involved.

Need a reminder of some things happening right now? The month of December is intentionally pretty quiet, but players and guests are welcome to continue backdating Fourth Wall shenanigans, even if the "official" dates have passed! We've also put up an IC Holiday Gift post. And, of course, there's always the Quest Board for quests and the Calendar for miscellaneous weather and swarms.

Like before, this CR meme will also include a template specifically geared towards Rocket CR. Please fill it in to let our Rocket members know how you feel about getting your characters involved in some crime.

PLAYER
Name: Your name here.
Contact: Any form of contact you'd like to provide: plurk, discord, etc.
Notes: If there is anything you would like to mention, whether it is a planned hiatus, your timezone or tagging habits, feel free to do so here.

CHARACTER
Name Character's name; <user name=CHARACTERJOURNAL>
Canon: The series your character is from.
Cliffnotes: Feel free to give a (short) rundown on your character here, whether that is their personality, things they are currently engaged in, certain set plans or anything else that might be useful for people to know about your character in order to plot some (new) CR.
Looking for: If you have any particular things you’d like your character to experience, whether a new friendship, a rivalry, a certain hobby, or anything else you can think of, please mention them here! And remember, the more concrete, the better. The better an idea you can give of what you want your characters involved in, the easier it is for others to plot with you.
Recent post: Optional, but if you have a recent post you’d welcome more tags on, feel free to link it here.

ROCKET PARTICIPATION FORM
Character’s trainer class: Trainer / Breeder
Are you down for Rocket shenanigans?: Yes / No
What type of things are you okay with?: Please remove anything you aren’t down for, and feel free to include any and all extra information.

✓ Battle encounters with Rockets 
✓ Non-battle, but still hostile encounters with Rockets (think something like getting robbed of a rare item or getting scammed)
✓ Temporarily losing a pokemon to a Rocket 
✓ Permanently losing a pokemon to a Rocket
✓ Anything else?

With holidays on the horizon, it's long past time to start thinking about the real reason for the season and that is gifts. Yes, yes, joy to all, peace on earth etc etc, but deep down what we all want to do is tear some wrapping paper off boxes and be dazzled by the contents.

In order to keep things a bit organized, we'll be putting this up as a central gift-giving post.

★★ Arceus' gift

As many of you long term players might already know, Arceus tends to drop a few gifts on the people he has brought here in December. And this year is no different! These gifts will be delivered December the 25th, and yes, they will go out to all. Arceus doesn't judge. Maybe he should, but he doesn't.

★★ Your gifts

If your character is the kind to get their friends a bunch of things, feel free to use this post to distribute the offerings. Much easier than hitting up a bunch of inboxes! If you would rather distribute your characters' gifts individually in various inboxes, that's fine too! This post is merely an option for people who'd like to keep things in one central location.

Now with that all out of the way, let us take a moment to wish you all a very merry Christmas, happy holidays, and for those that don't celebrate, just a generally nice December.

Finally, as mods we'd like to thank you all for another great and fun year, in which we treated Snorunts, raced Swinubs (okay mostly other Pokemon), time-traveled to prehistoric Johto, got lost in Smeargle art, foiled Rocket plots and dealt with a warp pad fiasco, and rescued passengers from a sinking ship. We look forward to next year (which the mods are busily plotting)!

Thank you!

[The person writing this does not state their name, but Ain's curly and cute handwriting is like... really fucking obvious, so he's clearly not trying to HIDE this for sure.]

Many people have come to me over the years for advice. [No one has done this.] And through my powers of observation, I have realised that many of you need more advice on things. Luckily, I love anonymity and not outing people's problems, so I've compiled tailored advice for those who need it in a safe and completely anonymous format! :O

Birthdays!!!
This is the most important thing, so this goes first. Elsword's birthday is on the 28th and I know we all can't tell time here, but it's SOON, and you all have to be nice to him on his birthday and congratulate him on being 19 and being very very cute, or I'll put cat food in your shoes. Oh, and my birthday is on the 15th and I will be 507 years old ^^

[If there was any doubts as to who this is... there shouldn't be anymore! also @ elsword sorry he forgot he hasn't told you he's an angel yet]

Advice!!!!!
From: Mr. and Ms. Dead People
Dear Advice Notebook:
We are dead where we come from. This is not the fault of the Forest, who does not count in this instance because he cheats and sucks really bad, but is because we died back home before coming here. We would really like to go back home though, because we love our home and want to see it thrive. Assuming a way home ever opens, what is your advice on how we should go about going home?
Thank you very much and you are extremely cool and pretty.

Wow! My advice to you is don't go home and stay here where you're alive, because dying sucks and how are you supposed to appreciate your world if you're deceased?? You can't. Skill issue if you want to go back home to continue to be dead after this warning. :O

From: Mr. and Ms. Timeline Anomalies
Dear Advice Genie:
The timelines have affected us. We are not where we are supposed to be.

I don't even know what to say about this other than get better timelines :O! Have you tried not playing jump rope with the concept of space and time and infinity and like black holes and stuff?? Please do not do this again.

From: Many Many Many Mr. Bad Word For Sarkazes
Hello Advice Person:
Some of us were born this way and we are discriminated against. Some of us were humans who were turned into the bad word for Sarkaz. We are very sad because we want to be loved. What do we do?

Do not worry. It's not your fault you were born or turned into that I think?? God still loves you. Not my God because she sucks and is mean but I mean the Goddesses here. And probably not your gods either now that I think about it, if you are having this issue :O! But that's okay because you can just kill them.

From: Mr. Loverboys and Ms. Lovergirls
Dear Romantic Advice Notebook:
How do I get my love interest to notice me? I would like to "get it", as the kids say.

I have a lot of advice for you, as someone who knows a lot about love! My disclaimer is that I do not like girls romantically so this will be based on how I've observed lesbians for the past five years of my life. I know many lesbians.

1. If you like women, women I think like flowers, long walks on the beach, having nails that can cut someone to ribbon, swords of the sword variety and not of the innuendo variety but they might like those too idk, being called pretty, and not having to do everything themselves. If you are a man and you make your wife do everything for you I hope you die painfully and slowly :O Anyway, the point is that you must treat women like they are pretty and delicate flowers but also acknowledge that they will kill you and many of them are secretly armed. You should fear them. And you should give them the things they like (above) as a courtship offering, like how birds do.
2. If you like men, men like swords of the sword variety we've gone over this part, shoving each other into lockers and walls and stuff, guns, violence in general, camping, outside, and feeling like they have a sense of belonging and that they're wanted. Did you know if you compliment boys they get very flustered? This is because boys are not used to receiving compliments because they are taught to suppress their emotions. Please allow boys room to let their emotions out. When you give boys all of this, they will like you. Also, you must not fear this creature, the boy, because that gives them too much power.
3. If you like people who are a secret third or fourth thing, give them all your material possessions and follow fire code.

With all of these in mind, and keeping in mind these are generalizations, there is a fourth thing I can do for you. I can make you lingerie so you can impress your love interest or existing partner. This, however, costs shells and I will not make this for anyone under 18. You'll also have to be very cool with me taking measurements of your butt.

Meow meow meow, meow. Meow meow meow meow meow. Mrrawwrrr... Meoww! Mew :3

Meow! Meow meow, mrrrrr, mrrrp! Meow meow :3 :3 :3 Meow? Mrrp, mrrrw! Mew!!! <3

From: Mr. Horns
Dear Advice Person Dude Thing:
I feel insecure about my appearance and worry that I'm worthless now. Do you have any advice?

My advice to you is that I still love you and find you beautiful. :O Don't give up on yourself!!

That's all for my advice column :O Next week: What to do when you really want to run a man through and can't, and "how to cope with the fact that you're trapped in the hell woods and could die at any moment", and also winter fashion advice and how to bake very tiny cupcakes.

[There will not be a next week to this, what compelled you to fucking do this.]

Good evening! My name is Shinobu Kocho. I'm a new arrival, but currently bedridden within the Clinic. I wanted to still reach out between my rest, however. I am a Hashira and medical professional for my organization, overseeing one of multiple medical facilities, assisting in rehabilitation and psychological care as well. I have pet goldfish, and I enjoy telling ghost stories! Now, how about you? 🦋

And then there's a pause for a bit, and a frantically-added:]

Oh SORRY my name is Urbain!! I'm new! ✨✨✨

So... has anyone else forgotten their birth date since arriving here.
... This may or may not have been the second year in a row, if I am honest.
~~It would not bother me so much, but given the circumstances~~
It feels a little silly.

Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means

karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

( The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.
