MEME ∞ INTRO & CR — June 2025
Meme ∞ Intro & CR
June 2025
Welcome!
It's time to introduce yourselves! Use the form below to get out there and start plotting. New and old players alike are encouraged to post to the Intro & CR.
A mingle log will be posted on June 8.
While we won't be doing intro/mingle logs every application round, we'll have one for the first two rounds (June and August) to help everyone get settled! You can also check out the Bulletin for information on weather, broadcasts, and incidents.

Notes
- Characters can arrive in-game on any date throughout the month of the TDM. This means characters do not have to, and typically will not, arrive all at once. Arrivals will be scattered and more difficult to predict. Use this to stagger CR, give characters a couple weeks without seeing each other, or whatever you feel makes it interesting!
- Since base AC is low, players need to make AC for their first month. TDM threads continued into the month are perfectly acceptable as long as the comments submitted take place in the current month.
- We've made some updates to the Invites page to reflect the game's current player cap status and added a player cap count to the Taken page. Our player cap is formally 70 players. The FAQ has also been updated to reflect these changes.
- A reminder that the 2 characters per round allocation was for the first round only. Moving forward, all players, current and new, can only apply for one character per app round. (You may still have a total of 2 characters.)

JOKES ASIDE, we can totally aim for that. i'd love if our arc with them is him helping her grow comfortable and confident in her powers, only to try and take them away or manipulate her with them or something. imagine the drama etcetc but i'm really just happy to plot out whatever you feel makes the most sense for your take on stephen, and i'm excited for what's to come

YESSsss LIKE ok not to go on a Stephen Strange Rant™ bUT IN THIS ESSAY I WILL–
part of the reason this particular Stephen is my fav
other than the Unfathomable Horrorsis that at this canonpoint, he's genuinely aware of his own horrible faults and thus in a lot of ways actually LESS arrogant than Default MCU Stephen since unlike Default Stephen, the narrative has actually fully humbled him and forced him to experience intense (like UNIMAGINABLY intense) consequences for his own unilateral decisions. Like – the conventions of What If...? free the writers of having to ultimately frame him as the Marvel Good Guy™ of his own story, which means we can actually see the full extent of what Default MCU Stephen is capable of when all guardrails are gone, completely unfiltered – and it's HORRIFYING and AMAZING and actually completely believable and credible to what we've seen from Stephen in the mainline films. Like, the reason his episode hits so hard isn't because he seems like a completely different Dr. Strange, but because he feels like the exact same guy.AND YET even WITH this newfound humility and actin' so soft in that last What If...? S1 ep, he's still visually coded as the most evil sorcerer to ever exist and is made of a hundred thousand grotesque eldritch horrors that he unleashes at a moment's notice, LIKE WHAT A COOL DICHOTOMY??? SOOO FUN. and then of COURSE is shown in S2 to fall back into even eviler more selfish ways
even if they did it with like zero development from his redemption arc and flattened his character a bunch bUT WHATEVERregardless i love how it illustrates the push and pull of the temptations for greater power inside him, and that surviving arrogance he can't quite shake, because how could you, having gone so far down the deep end, with that much power at your fingertips?????anyway. basically i have literally no idea if he'll get further softened or cynically hardened by the Diadem environment/CR i'm just real excited to explore it :')
thank u for attending my TED talk etc.
