The Mindfuck Meme

This is not a very nice meme! If you have any major or typical triggers, you're being warned here that you might want to keep fully clear. That said, ever misread 'midfuck meme' with an extra 'n' in it and been sorely disappointed? This one's for you!

1. Post a character! It'd sure be nice if you put their name, canon, and any prefs you might have in the subject line.
2. When other characters tag in, they'll be using ye olde RNG (1-7) to figure out just how they'll be fucking your character's mind.
3. Be royally screwed up and need therapy for decades.

Mindfuck Possibilities:

1. I Own You: It doesn't have to be sexual (though it can be). It doesn't have to be very abusive (though it might be). But you know you own this person and you will break them down until they can accept the truth of it. All that they are—body, mind, and soul—is yours. They should have known that from the beginning. Now they'll know it 'til the end.

2. We're One and the Same: What this other person doesn't get is that you're two sides of the same coin. You practically own each other! No one else will complete them the way you can. You're twins. Brothers from another mother (or was that the same mother?). They won't get away until they acknowledge that to escape is to deny everything they are. Good thing you're ready to help.

3. Nobody Has Ever Loved You (Like I Do): This person doesn't understand how worthless they are—how they've been abandoned on purpose by anyone they ever cared about. The only thing they have left—the one creature that doesn't despise them utterly—is you. And maybe you're about fed up as well and they should grovel at your feet.

4. By Your Bedside ~~(YANDERE)~~: You love them. You love them utterly and how have they betrayed you? Ruthlessly! Talking to others—looking at others. Disgusting. You aren't going to allow it anymore. They need to understand the importance of your love. What's that? Maybe you aren't in a relationship by any… real, official standards? Heh. That can be fixed!

5. You're a Doll, Doll: Some people just don't get it. They think they have rights the same as anyone else. They don't see how they're only a puppet or a pet. Something less than you—less than anything. They belong on a leash or sitting pretty on a shelf. Poor darling! Lucky for them you've taken an interest in setting them straight (or… really gay).

6. Stop Forcing My Hand: It's not your fault you're tying them down! It isn't your fault they need your initials engraved in their skin! They made you. They stared at you with those eyes or they did those awful things (awful being rather subjective)! You wish they could apologize enough for such atrocities. You'd love to let them go. You don't want to do this even if it's possibly getting you off to an excessive extent! You're the victim, all right? Fucker should learn to shut up when they're told to.

7. Creepozoid's Choice!: Pick any of the options above or a 7th sort of mindfuck not explicitly listed. Remember, 7 is always an open option if you'd rather not roll or if you want to mix any series of numbers together.

[ He doesn't understand. He just stares at her in confusion. How could she study it from the inside and out.

Eventually, he glances over the cool surface his right hand is laying on. She's too calm to actually mean... He looks back up at her with narrowed eyes. ] It's just a rune, Rita... You aren't really...

[ Please laugh at him and tell him he has no reason to be scared. ]

From:

blastiafreak

Can't what? I should be able to study it.

[She's still calm and casual about this, as if she's talking about reading a book and not seriously considering cutting open his hand.

She rests her chin in her hand a moment and mumbles aloud-] I've never really worked with a person before...Where should I start...?

From:

stargathering

You don't start! [ Panic time. He tries to pull his hand from the restrain without struggling enough to move the chair - yes, Tyr did not want to dislocate anything if the strap was very good. ] If you wouldn't do it to yourself, don't do it to me, Rita.

[ Please understand pain, Rita. ]

From:

blastiafreak

I need to get a sample from it somehow, you know. [Luckily--or is it?--for Tyr, Rita at least recognizes the fear and sort of understands his reasons for it.

But that's not enough to make her quit.] Hmm...Maybe I should knock you out again while I do this.

From:

stargathering

No! [ He snaps at her. He's just afraid of her now. ] That won't work. All you're going to sample is my own flesh.

[ Well, he thinks. He's not about to see if that's a fact. ]

From:

blastiafreak

You're probably never tried this before, right? It'll be fine. I'll start small. [She nods satisfactorily to herself. Yes, a small sample where the rune is situated ought to be a good start.

Rita moves close to his restrained hand and starts going over her tools.]

From:

stargathering

No! [ Maybe he should have taken the option to be knocked out, but that felt cowardly somehow. He keeps trying to pull his hands out, but it only manages to make the restrain scrape against his skin. She's way too close to those tools now. ] Don't even try! I don't want you to help me if it means this.

From:

blastiafreak

Don't be such a baby! This one's only going to hurt for a second, okay? [At least she meant it when she said a 'small sample'. For now, she selects an implement with a tiny, needle-thin point. With it held in her steady hand, she leans over the rune.]

From:

stargathering

[ He tried to keep himself as still as possible while she was over him. It wouldn't be as bad as the formulas or the last few times he was attacked. He just had to stay still, look away, and wait for her to get her damn sample.

Of course, that's what Tyr was doing. That didn't stop the rune from fire a warning shot in Rita's direction. ]

From:

blastiafreak

[A little resistance isn't entirely unexpected, but as for whether she believes it's the rune's fault alone...

Rita's hand slips and buries the sharp point in Tyr's wrist instead.]

Can't you keep that thing under control for a second?

From:

stargathering

[ Tyr gasps out in pain - he wasn't expecting that at all. ]

Wa, watch what you're doing! And you're the one attacking it! What am I going to do while I'm pinned down?

From:

blastiafreak

Sorry, I tripped.

[Her voice is decidedly flippant and not very apologetic, though, while she removes the needle from his skin. Still, Tyr does have a point--and either way, she can't work on it like that.]

I'll have to do something about it...

[Setting her tool down, Rita retrieves something else from a desk somewhere behind Tyr: the blastia that she had given him earlier. She starts making some adjustments to the formula and, after a moment's consideration, cranks up the input from Tyr's life force before she clasps it in place around Tyr's wrist.

She can't go getting her soul sucked out while she's working on it, after all. Where would Tyr be without her?]

From:

stargathering

[ He can't believe she just said it like that, like she didn't just stab him in the wrist. He gives her a look before she walks away, wondering how he could have gotten himself into any of this.

When she returns with the blastia, though, he can feel his stomach knot already, and when it's clamped down around his wrist, he has good reason. He clenches his teeth and takes a deep breath. He won't get sick, he won't. With the way she's acting now, he doesn't think she'd particularly care if he did. ]

Just make this quick...

[ Or he still has the fire rune hidden on his left hand. It's nowhere near as strong, which is exactly why he wouldn't hesitate too much to use it. ]

From:

blastiafreak

Don't be such a worrywart. You trusted me with this, so I'll make sure it gets done.

[Rita gives him a couple seconds to adjust--she understands it's a little uncomfortable, of course, as much as he needs it--and then she's picked up her needle, cleaned it off, and leans down towards his hand again.

She goes carefully in case of another surprise, but quickly pierces the outer layer of skin beneath the rune.]

From:

stargathering

[ He forces himself to breath evenly, but his breath still catches when he feels the needle move beneath his skin. He can't say why that hurts more than his wrist, if the rune really was alive, or if it was the blastia making him more ill. Tears welled in his eyes again - when he did he start crying so easily or freaking out so easily?

His heart races painfully, and after a moment, he prompts her. ] Are you done?

From:

blastiafreak

Give it a moment, would you?

[She swears he's acting like she's slicing the entire rune from his hand (which might not be a bad idea, really), but she holds the needle in place for a few seconds, grabs another implement to use alongside it, and in no time at all has removed a tiny portion of Tyr's flesh.]

There. I have the sample...

[But there's an edge to her voice, one of curiosity and intrigue. She has the rune right in front of her and she's already prepared. Why not examine a little further?]

From:

stargathering

[ It hurt and makes him feel more sick than the blastia alone does. He feels like he's about to vomit, but doesn't. He steadies himself in his head, coming off of the nausea.

There's something strange about the tone of her voice. It's bothersome in some way, but he shoves the thought aside. ]

You have it... Can you let me go now?

From:

blastiafreak

[Rita looks up from his hand and right at him with a slightly disbelieving look, like the answer to that question is obvious.]

You're kidding, right? I can't let you go anywhere like this, not with the rune still free. You might decide to do something stupid again.

[Like running away. She taps her hand on her tray of tools, perhaps deciding what she wants to do next.]

From:

stargathering

[ --Was she really looking at his hand instead of his hand that time? ]

So you're going to keep me restrained in this chair for the next few hours? Days?

[ ...He might be a little hopeful with that, though. He doesn't want her to touch that tray anymore. ]

From:

blastiafreak

It'll be days at least, or maybe even weeks. I have to study it thoroughly and develop a successful countermeasure, you know.

[She says it casually, like he's a houseguest. If he's lucky, she'll even remember to feed him once a day.]

I'll take a look at that sample later. Right now, I want to see more about this rune...

From:

stargathering

[ He looks at her like she's just gone nuts - which, in his mind, she inarguably has. His head is still wrapping around how casual and serious she's being, like she really means to keep him tied to a chair. ]

You can't just keep me tied here for weeks! [ Gremio will cut her to pieces. ] That's too much!

Just-- Look at the sample and leave me alone.

From:

blastiafreak

[Rita huffs at him like always. This is just another one of their usual arguments.]

What else were you expecting? I can't just let you go.

From:

stargathering

I can't stay here, Rita. I need to see Gremio. And Katara. And everyone else. They're going to worry about me if they don't see me.

[ If this was a usual argument, he wouldn't answer so evenly. ]

... Not to mention being here makes me feel sick.

From:

blastiafreak

It's fine. This place is pretty well hidden, so they won't come bugging you.

[Because that's obviously what his concern is, right? Rtia's going to make sure they can study and work in peace.]

I've even got a fake portrait I can put in that hall, so everyone'll just think you've gone home. Now that's genius!

[Her smugness over her plan is clear. Rita will have Tyr all to herself for the duration of their experiments-

Maybe even longer. Maybe as long as she wants.]

From:

stargathering

[ Tyr stares at her in disgust and horror. ]

You can't be serious... You can't do that!

[ Dread floods over him. She'd really do it at this point, wouldn't she? ]

What's the point of trying to control the rune if I'm going to be trapped in a sunless room forever?! Don't be an idiot!
