THE RESCUE ME MEME
WELCOME TO THE RESCUE ME MEME
Mugged, kidnapping, held hostage, imprisoned, arranged marriage – one way or another, your character needs a rescue pronto! This meme is about exploring all the different ways of rescuing, so mix and match your favorite tropes! Drop your character, your preferences, and whether you’d like them to be rescued, the rescuer, or both! This also doesn’t have to be shippy – save a friend, a family member, an enemy, or a complete stranger, because everyone could use a hero!
Original Flavor
Your standard save! Burst onto the scene! Take down the bad guys! Save the victim! It doesn’t have to be needlessly complicated to be fun!
Disguise The Limit
Work smarter, not harder. Instead of a big fancy entrance, disguise yourself as one of the guards or the big baddy themselves to sneak past and save the day. Hope you’re good at acting!
Teamwork = Dreamwork
This is about partnering up to save the day! Two heads, or more, are better than one – are you reluctant enemies working for the same cause, or do you all care about each other just that much?
Making Mistakes
You thought they were in danger, but… oops. A light misunderstanding, “it’s not what it looks like”, or your victim was the enemy all along! Better have a back-up plan, in case you make more trouble than you planned to solve!
Last Second Switch
You’re one of the baddies who was in on this from the start, but now you’re having second thoughts. Is the plan going too far, or did you wind up caring for the victim? It’s up to you to stop this at the last possible moment – or take advantage of your power and help the victim escape in a sneakier way.
Saving Screw-Up
You were trying to be the big hero… and instead you wound up in the same trouble as the victim. Now you’re sharing a jail cell, or tied up next to them, maybe they’ll even switch victims since you’re a better target! A for effort, at least?
Accidentally Awesome
You were just going about your business and suddenly stumbled into a crime! Sure, you could just walk on, but you’re not that type of person! Even though you don’t know anything about the situation, step in and show them your stuff! Your ordinary day just got a whole lot weirder!
It’s Up To Me
This is taking way too long – save yourself! Kick some ass, take some names, and then… run into the person or people who were trying to save you. Maybe you’ll be the one saving them instead!
Rescue Sex
Don’t you worry, dirty birdies, I got you. Nothing quite says “hot” like watching someone get extremely feral in trying to save you. Hey, if you don’t even make it home before the clothes come off, we don’t blame you.
Here are a few other small tropes to work with, and there’s even more here if you want more spice!
- Seduce the guard/baddy into letting you go or grabbing the keys!
- Minions saving baddy from heroes!
- You’re saving a beloved pet, or a precious artifact!
Say it with me now… I NEED A HERO!

I'm all ready, Morgana M'dear!
[He keeps the beatdown going in tune with the song! And then he winds up his fist.]
Now, you vile vamp, there's only more thing I want to day to you: I object!
[He says as he unleashes a sick right to Vlad's kisser!]
no subject
[ That last triumphant note hits right in time with Darkwing's biggest punch - and down goes Vlad for the count. It even knocked out his front two fangs! He lays down in an embarrassing lump, cartoony stars swirling around his head.
The audience bursts into applause! A confused applause, but applause none the less!
"Wasn't this supposed to be a wedding...?"
"Maybe it was performance art all along!"
"At least the food's still free!"
Morgana slips her guitar around to her back, gives Eek and Squeak some scritches for doing excellent work... and then swoops Darkwing up into her arms, kissing his face all over. ]
Oh, Darkwing! You were wonderful! Magnificent! Stupendous! Awe-inspiring! I could fall for you all over again!
no subject
Funny you say that! I think I feel for you about 20 more times during that song... [Including a few literal falls here and there!]
I'm just glad you're safe. And free! And beautiful and incredible and sexy an- oh, but those parts were always true!
no subject
At the very least, that idiot had good taste in fashion... though I've never been a fan of pumps.
[ As she walks off the platform, she probably could have done it without stepping on Vlad's K.O.'d body, but did it anyway. And also made sure to stomp-crack the ring as she went past it. ]
And you must be so exhausted after all those dashing heroics... why don't I take you home, and we can rest up, together...
[ Watch that PG rating, missy. ]
... And cuddle on the couch while watching some classic Darkwing Duck episodes?
[ Close call. ]
no subject
Drake's practically in a trance as she carries him, gently pecking her back multiple times.
...And her suggestion seems to hit Drake harder than anything more explicit she could have said, as he swoons in her arms.]
Homina homina! Oh boy, the trivia I have to share with you... [Hearts shine in his eyes!]
no subject
[ Squeak, Eek, and Archie follow suit, happy to have everything resolved - though Archie grumbles they still could have found a way without Darkwing. You're not my dad!
Morgana heads back out the church, back the way they came, and the audience finally goes in on that free food. Maybe that rock'n'roll stuff wasn't so bad after all, if it could provide a show like that! ]
We should start off with the Paddywhack one, that's my favorite so far...
