time travel texting.


THE BIG FAT TIME TRAVEL TEXTING MEME.


How does it work?
- You post your top-level as usual.
- People reply, but the catch is, magical shenanigans intervene and poof! You're getting a text from someone you know, but it's 3 years too early or 10 years too late! What spoilers will you learn? Will you accidentally reveal some of your own?
- You can use this to explore forward-dated scenarios or have characters interact before they "met," or at least before one of them knows they met.
- When you reply, notate in the header when your character's tagging from.

i could, but should i?

oh, darling. you really are the most precious, i swear. i don't know that i'm allowed to tell you much, but one thing i'll say is that you do figure it out. we figure it out together, you and i.

[personal profile] squelch 2019-03-20 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
i guess not, huh? i'll figure it out when i get there!

oh. i'm really glad, kwang! thanks for being patient with me. i'm guessing you'll have to do that a lot. then probably a lot more after that. i'm excited to figure things out with you.

it'll be an interesting journey, that i can promise you.

patient? oh, no. you don't require me to be patient with you. you're perfect, if anything, you're the one that's perfect with me as i hit roadblocks.
squelch: (ninety one tentacles.)

[personal profile] squelch 2019-03-21 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
i like journeys. i like going new places.

i can't imagine that. you're always so kind and so gentle. it's like your heart is made of light. i can't imagine ever needing to exercise patience with you even a little bit.

[personal profile] incendiaring 2019-03-21 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
just you saying that shows that you're the one that's so full of light

also stop, you're going to make me emotional, because you're saying that, but to you, we haven't even started dating. that you think that of me already is

god, you're so good. i wish i could be like you, so we could relive all these firsts we've had together, all over again.
squelch: (ninety tentacles.)

[personal profile] squelch 2019-03-22 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
i may light up, but not like you. i think if you found the very center of yourself, there'd be light there. i'm not sure it's true for me.

for one reason or another.

i care about you. there's lots of words in my head to say it, but i don't think i should say them to you now. you want to hear them for the first time, right?

and i think you will, here. i'm excited to tell you more things now.
incendiaring: (pic#12637873)

[personal profile] incendiaring 2019-03-27 11:26 am (UTC)(link)
i think it's true for you. you're so good. you're so, so good, and you just want everyone around you to be happy. how could that not be part of you, through and through?

i have heard these words, and probably many more you're not thinking of just yet. you've told me them, and i've told you many words like these, too. we're on the same page.

i always worried my light didn't go too deep. it's nice to be able to see it right away, but i wondered if i wasn't keeping too many secrets for it to be the thing at the heart of me.

i hoped so though.

right, of course. but the you that's here with me. he hasn't heard them, right? i'm going to save them for the you that lives in the present with me. and i promise there'll be a lot.

[personal profile] incendiaring 2019-03-29 11:05 am (UTC)(link)
your secrets don't change who you are, deep down. especially yours. if anything, what you carry with you makes you even stronger, even brighter.

he hasn't heard them yet, no. but he'll enjoy hearing them a lot.
squelch: (ninety five tentacles.)

[personal profile] squelch 2019-03-29 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
it's amazing to hear that. a little weird, since i don't remember tell you my secrets yet, but i guess i have, huh?

maybe i should get on that! and soon! there's an awful lot to say, so i'm guessing it's probably going to take awhile to say it.
incendiaring: (pic#12637870)

[personal profile] incendiaring 2019-04-02 12:46 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah, you have. you've told me a lot of things, and i'm grateful to have your trust in such a way.

hey, it's okay. we have all the time in the world, darling.
squelch: (ninety one tentacles.)

[personal profile] squelch 2019-04-03 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
i should say the same, right? i'm really glad i'm someone you can be comfortable with.

do we? that sounds so nice. that makes me happy, you know? so happy. you're someone i want to have a lot of time with.
incendiaring: (pic#12560027)

[personal profile] incendiaring 2019-04-04 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
it's important, for both of us. it's good. you and i... we're good together. very good.
squelch: (ninety two tentacles.)

[personal profile] squelch 2019-04-05 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
how good? stay together for years and years good? [ Getting ahead of himself?

Pshaw, Ten never does that! ]
incendiaring: (pic#12637873)

[personal profile] incendiaring 2019-04-05 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
i firmly hope so. we're getting close to a year, and we've already talked about a lot of long-term commitments together. I want these things with you. I want years and years with you.
squelch: (ninety tentacles.)

[personal profile] squelch 2019-04-05 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
that's amazing! i'm happy for us. is that weird to say? that i'm happy for my future self?

he sounds like he's doing well.
incendiaring: (pic#12637870)

[personal profile] incendiaring 2019-04-08 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
were i in your shoes, i think i'd be happy, too.

he is. we have our ups and downs, you know? like everyone. we can't be happy all the time. but we're happy most of the time. especially when we're together.
squelch: (ninety two tentacles.)

[personal profile] squelch 2019-04-08 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
i'm a lucky person. very, very lucky. i've known that for awhile, but it's gotten even more obvious lately!

someone i knew used to say you can be happy even when you're sad, because you can be happy about having someone you love by your side.
incendiaring: (pic#12637873)

[personal profile] incendiaring 2019-04-15 11:32 am (UTC)(link)
so am i. i'm very very lucky.

it gives us strength, the fact that we've got each other. it really does.
squelch: (ninety tentacles.)

[personal profile] squelch 2019-04-15 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
i must be superhumanly strong by now then! here, i'm not quite there yet. i think i still have some level ups to go, sounds like.

but i'll be okay, because someone's helping me a lot.
incendiaring: (pic#12637870)

[personal profile] incendiaring 2019-04-16 10:05 am (UTC)(link)
oh, i don't know. i think you were very strong from the get-go, truly.

if you're talking about me, you're sweet. i don't think i've done that much, though.
squelch: (Default)

[personal profile] squelch 2019-04-16 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
was i? i felt so weak sometimes. not always in bad ways. there's good ways to be weak, i think. or to be something people see as weak, but really isn't? it's not easy being vulnerable, not always. but much easier with someone you love and trust.

you have though. i think you do every day, every single day.
incendiaring: (pic#12637874)

[personal profile] incendiaring 2019-04-23 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
vulnerability isn't weakness. i don't think, anyway. it's okay to be vulnerable with people you trust, it's okay to allow yourself to lean on people. it doesn't make anyone weak. And you are certainly not weak.

well, i'm glad if i can help in any way. but mostly, it's all you, for and by yourself.
squelch: (ninety tentacles.)

[personal profile] squelch 2019-04-23 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
i think so too. i really want to be more vulnerable, whatever it takes. but i guess i want to be careful, too. maybe that's an oxymoron?

is that how it is for you? all you, for and by yourself?
incendiaring: (pic#12637873)

[personal profile] incendiaring 2019-04-23 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
makes sense. take your time with it. allow yourself to feel safe before you open up.

not all of it. you bring me a lot. you allow me to be vulnerable, too.
