when in doubt, blame a wormhole

bakerstreetthe ACCIDENTAL EXTRADIMENSIONAL TOURIST meme 
Have you ever wanted to travel to another planet? Another REALITY? Even if this is something that has never crossed your mind, It's about to happen. For reals. A giant wormhole has opened up beneath you and dropped you elsewhere. You have no choice in what world you're heading to, or even where you'll be landing. Luckily (or unluckily) you'll be dropped near to a resident of the world who will have no choice but to play your tour guide and help you get to know your new home.
How it works 1. Post with your character. In the body include a little bit about where your character is, or what they are currently doing. You can write as little, or as much as you want! Just a simple sentence saying something like [John Doe is sitting in his office at the paper company goofing off and playing call of duty while his boss isn't looking.] is fine, or you could go into more detail and write a paragraph or two describing a key place in your world's canon to really set the scene for incoming tourists. Try not leave your initial comment blank. This meme will probably work best if you set up a scene, no matter how short.
2. Find someone else who's world you are invading and post dropping in on them. Maybe you just opened a door and found yourself there, maybe you fell into a wormhole. Either way you are not where you were a moment ago. optional: The wormhole might have handily provided you with the means to blend in to your new environment. If you find yourself hopping out into a school, you might be wearing an appropriate uniform, if you happen to fall out into a swords and sorcery type world you might find yourself sporting plate armor or wizard robes, and if you find yourself on an alien planet... well you might look just like the aliens who live there.
3. Remember that with this sort of meme it's probably best to tag outside of canonmates. But, either way, have fun and try not to kill the tourists!
Twins
Oct. 20th, 2025 01:56 pmhellboi posting in bakerstreet The Twincest AU Meme For your whole life, you've been a one-of-a-kind. Maybe you've had siblings, but your siblings are different or older or younger. Nobody quite like you, nobody exactly close. Or has it been like that? Don't you have someone closer than a regular sibling - a twin? In this meme, you do! You're a twin. And not only that, but you're...close. Closer than close, actually, in ways the outside world might not understand. It may be a misconception, or you could actually be inappropriately involved; yet in the end, you still have each other, just as you started with. And who needs anyone else? You two don't.

dw_maintenanceDW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.
Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

cakewrecks_feedWarning: Weenie humor ahead!
Anyone else think the Halloween cakes are getting kinda handsy this year?
No, no. I mean, it seems like the designs are getting a lot...fresher.
"GOOSE!"
For example, some people might think these "pumpkins" represent huge...tracts of land:
Others might think it's a little chilly in here.
Hey, sure, bakers, just stick that candy corn anywhere:
I'd say the bat was a nice touch, but I think the ghost might disagree.
And when it comes to pumpkin cookies, this bakery offers up some stiff competition:
I'm surprised that they'd erect such a dinky display.
And while that might seem like a hard act to follow, it turns out there's more than one bakery trying to get ahead:
Psst. Bakers. Here's a tip.
Also, I think your problem stems from a cockeyed decorator with a testy disposition getting a good-natured ribbing from the bakery staff.
Ben, Kristen Z., Bevin C., Petra R., Zack J., and Sara W., these cakes salute you.
Sorry about that.
*****
P.S. You know how everyone is decorating with these cute wall bats for spooky season?
Well I found them on Amazon! They're re-usable PVC - so weatherproof - and cost less than $10 for a pack of 56. While you're there I highly recommend scrolling the customer image gallery, too, for cute decorating ideas like this.

Still no vampire husband
Oct. 20th, 2025 09:11 amsockfromarose posting in bakerstreet Vampires tend to have a lot of sex appeal. It may be because evil is sexy for some, but not all vampires are evil, so maybe it's because they're bad boys or sultry femme fatales. Maybe people just figure hundreds of years of practice at love making makes vampires really, really good at it. On the other hand, the bloodsucking may be a great fetish source, something about a quick sting of pain followed by pleasure. When a vampire is hungry and isn't quite so decent or hard up as to lower himself to only buying blood at the butcher's or trapping and draining small animals instead, their dietary supplement of preference is human blood. However, vampires can make the experience of being a drink box not just bearable, but pleasurable for the donor. ( Text from these TVTropes articles. ) Roles 1. Vampire 2. Victim Prompts 1. Willing - You're either a friend of vampire offering up a quick bite...or you know what you like and that's being a giving person. 2. Unwilling - They want your blood, but you're not up to parting with it. Can you withstand the pleasure, however? 3. Fluffy - How can you make the hungry undead warm and sweet? They could just be jaded from all the cruelty they've seen or dealt out and want something different. 4. Romantic - Is it worse to be the prey of a vampire - or their lover? At least with the latter, they'll try to treat you gently. 5. Rough - The opposite of the above; this vampire couldn't care less about you and treats you like a slab of meat. 6. Dangerous - This is no kitten you're playing with. Remember, your life hangs in the balance if they sink their fangs too far... 7. Purely Sexual - Both of you are into a little bit of bloodplay. One of you just gets dinner on the side. |

It's that time of year again - the time for ghouls and ghosts, horrors and hauntings, and things that go bump in the night.
But what do you do if you're one of them?
By some misfortune, your character has been... turned. The night is dark and full of terrors. Congratulations. You're one of them.

(modified) kissing. that's it, that's the meme.
ONE: comment with your character and preferences.
TWO: you're kissing.
THREE: reply to others.
FOUR: no, seriously, they're kissing.
FIVE: whether there's backstory behind it, whether this has been building-building-BUILDING up or you've just met or you've been cursed by the universal, non-season specific hanging festive object of your choice and you can't escape until you smooch OR you literally just tripped into somebody's lips, if doesn't matter. btw it doesn't have to be on the mouth. live your best creative life.
SIX: it's a thing. it's happening. so you probably better let the people in the back know if you want assumed CR, gentle kisses on the forehead only, if you prefer gen/platonic kisses for the kids, crack threads, frenching, one-sided or misunderstood intentions and mistaken identities, whatevs.
SEVEN: kissin'. kiss kiss fall in love motherf-

Sunday Sweets: Tim Burton Tribute!
Oct. 19th, 2025 01:00 pmcakewrecks_feedWe all have a favorite Tim Burton movie, be it Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, Beetlejuice, or Alice in Wonderland. (No one's favorite is Planet of the Apes. FACT.) So to gear up for Halloween, let's check out some ghoulishly gorgeous Burton-inspired Sweets.
How about we start with a little visit to Halloweentown?
Made by Making That Cake
The Nightmare Before Christmas characters were originally made from clay, so they're the perfect candidates for fondant!
Made by Celebra
Check out the hand-painted border on the bottom - so cute!
I love this giant Jack Skellington:
Submitted by Eri R., made by Bluebird Cakes
That's some talented sculpting!
I really like the abstract character designs on these more traditional cake tiers:
By Cake Central member tinazzzvikings74
What? No Zero?
These pretty packages are topped with some of the most realistic "fabric" bows I've ever seen:
Made by Chocmocakes
Ready to go under a Christmas Town tree!
What's this? What's this? There's cuteness in the air!
Uh oh... now I've got THIS stuck in my head.
Look! Lock, Shock, and Barrel!
Submitted by Liz and made by chocmocakes
This cake looks way too amazing to be edible. It's like a prop from the movie!
Moving from one claymation masterpiece to another, let's check out some cakes inspired by The Corpse Bride.
This boned beauty is a replica of the wedding cake in the film:
Photo by BrixtonCat, baker not listed. Anyone know?
The topper is different from the one in the movie, but this one makes me swoooon!
This baker gets bonus points for making two cakes: one for Victor and Emily, the Corpse Bride, and one for Victor and Victoria:
Made by All About Cake
I love those very Burton-esque details, and the fondant toppers are adorable! I'll take them all, please.
I squealed like a little girl when I saw this gorgeous Edward Scissorhands cake:
Made by Christopher Garren's
Every aspect of this cake represents the magic of the film: the ice sculpture, animal topiaries, brightly-colored houses, the hill to Edward's house, and of course... Edward's house!
Absolutely delightful.
Now, for the ghost with the most, for some laughter from the hereafter, for the slave to the grave... Get ready, because IT'S SHOWTIME!
Introducing Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, BEETLEJU....
Maybe I shouldn't.
This goofy ghoul is the spitting image of Beetlejuice's cartoon alter-ego.
And this is from one of my favorite scenes from the movie:
Made by Pixie Dust Cakes
I never would have believed the Beej could look that cute. And check out the busted seams on the couch, and that linoleum "floor"! To die for.
As a life-long Tim Burton fan, I'd be over the moon with any of today's cakes, but this final Burton-inspired beauty is my absolute fav:
Made by LaCaketiere
It's both creepy and whimsical. Creemsical!
Plus, those dingy details really make it look like stone; hard to believe there's soft cake under there!
Take a look at the back:
It only has eyes for you. [smirk]
You can see more detail shots here.
Oh, and in all the research I did for this post, I found NO cakes for Frankenweenie or Mars Attacks! I do believe I've just given you your next mission, bakers. Hop to.
Happy Sunday!

Attraction
Oct. 19th, 2025 06:54 amboughtstockinsocks posting in bakerstreet
Sure, complimenting personalities bring people together. It's always good to get along with your significant other or friends, so "birds of a feather flock together," as they say. But let's be honest. That doesn't make for good entertainment. Readers and viewers love a good odd couple, where the two are diametrically different. This can be in personality (good girls and bad boys), appearance (Beauty & the Beast, anyone?), species (ALIEN AND HUMAN LOVE IS REAL!!!1), and so on.
This meme is inspired by this concept and a certain song that probably shows your age if you recognize it. According to Wikipedia, "the lyrics are about a couple who love each other despite being different in just about every way possible." And...that pretty much summarizes the meme, too! (Though, it doesn't have to be love. Hate can be an option.)
HOW TO PLAY
- Comment with your character. In the subject, put info & preferences.
- In the comment, describe your character in a few key words. This is so that people who don't know your canon can see if your character would be a good opposite to theirs.
EX: Outspoken, strong-willed, funloving
- Reply to characters who are opposite (interpret that as you will) to yours.
- Enjoy the shippy antics!
PROMPTS
1. Our Friends Are Saying We Ain't Gonna Last: How did you guys get together? Where did you meet? Was their attraction
2. You Like the Movies / And I Like TV: So, you guys' ideas of fun aren't exactly compatible, huh. Well, one of you is a happy magical girl and the other is a murderous psychopath.
3. Who'd a Thought That We Could Be Lovers: I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT, MARK. HOW'S YOUR SEX LIFE?
...but really. How do you guys get on in bed? Surely, your kinks are different, too.
4. Baby, Seems Like We Never, Ever Agree: Oh, the fights. Naturally, with differences come disagreements. Are they passive agressive snarkfests or knock-down-drag-outs?
5. We Come Together: The one good thing about fighting is how you get to make up after. Better remember what gets you on your sweetie's good side.
6. Don't Think We'll Ever Get Our Differences Patched: That's it. You're done. This dance is over. You should both just leave before you lose it. But will either of you let that happen?
7. Don't Really Matter Cuz We're Perfectly Matched: Okay, so you're nothing alike. But you're going to make this work, damn it!
8. How We Lasted This Long: You've defied all odds. Despite your differences, you're still together. Maybe it's not the best (or maybe it is), but it's still something.

The Midnight Texting Meme
It's the middle of the night and you're trying to catch some z's — or brooding alone in the alleys, as one does — when your phone dings and suddenly a stranger or a friend is texting you. What could they possibly want at this hour? Is it important? Stupid? Are they drunk or maybe just needy? Do they need help hiding a body??? Pick up your phone and find out!
Rules:
● Post with your character's name and canon on the subject line, indicate preferences as needed
● Tag others
● Have fun!

And here in the foyer the hallway is small

| Wherever you meant to go is not where you are. When you look back, there is no door. A hallway stretches out in front of you, with branching corridors and closed doors as far as the eye can see. There are hints of other people around - sounds and voices of others who have found themselves trapped in this space, or those who were originally here. Not everyone is friendly. Just remember: any door you go through will cease to exist. You must go forwards to get out. So, will you make it? *It doesn't have to be a hallway, you might end up in a kitchen that tries to eat you, or knee deep in water of a basement somewhere when you were just on the 18th story. |
Warning: tags in this post will deal with themes that include violence, blood, gore and other horror topics. Please communicate your preferences with your threading partners.

cardio_swindle.Will this get you to take a bath
Oct. 18th, 2025 07:14 pmwrongs posting in bakerstreetthe intimate bathing meme;   |
Grooming is an important part of many species' rituals. It keeps them clean, healthy, and content. And a good bath? It can change the whole tone of a day from terrible to relaxed and blissful. But nudity is sometimes viewed as a weakness - and it is almost always sexualized - so bathing is often kept a private matter. If you do share these moments with someone, they're almost always a significant other or a sexual partner. Like you're doing now. Whether it be after a battle or after sex (or before sex, even), the two of you are going to get clean. Be sure to help each other out with that, won't you? After all, there are places on the back that just can't be reached... HOW TO PLAY:

The Dumb Secrets Meme
We all have secrets. Some are dark, some are embarrassing, some could be life-changing if revealed.
Some are just incredibly stupid.
This is about those secrets; the secrets that are inconsequential enough that it's never been a matter of conscience that you haven't spoken of them, just that they're ridiculous and you've never cared to admit to them. But now you do. Now you feel compelled to tell your friend about the time you accidentally killed their houseplant because you thought soda would work fine to water it, or that you took their last piece of gum thinking they had an another pack and then pretended you had no idea what happened to it while they complained the rest of the day, or that you still have your high school crush's phone number in your contacts under the name "hopes and dreams" like a complete loser. That sort of thing.
Rules
- Post your character's name and canon, along with your preferences, in the subject line.
- Throw in some confessions! They can be through text, in person, to friends or enemies or complete strangers, whatever is fun.
- If you'd like to, include a 'confess to them' wildcard option, but there should be at least one confession as well.
- NO BLANK TOPLEVELS! They will be deleted.
- Don't hesitate to alter, update, or generally de-uglify this meme if you'd like to repost it. In fact, please do. Please.
- Have fun, everyone!
