THE MANHANDLING MEME
A blatant ripoff of respectful homage to this.
Sometimes you just crave a gentle, loving touch...and sometimes, you want to shake someone till the change flies out of their pockets.
- Leave a comment with any preferences.
- Get ready for your character to be pushed around!
- Reply to other characters, RNG, and:
- Drag them by the arm; hopefully no square dancing will ensue, because this isn't the wanton cruelty meme.
- Grab them by the front of their shirt, possibly shoving them back. Also optional: shouting in their face.
- Take them by the hips to carefully move them out of your way.
- Smack them upside the head and deal with the repercussions.
- Grip them by the back of the neck like a reenactment of a cat with kittens.
- Put a hand on their back to steer them somewhere.
- Point sternly at a chair (adverb negotiable) and tell them to sit down.
- Push them back down when they try to get out of bed (perhaps involving illness, injury, or sleep deprivation).
- Press a finger to their lips to shut them up.
- Put a hand on their knee while sitting next to them, to discourage them from standing up.
- Slap their hand away from something they shouldn't touch.
- Grab their hair (or tie, or whatever) and yank.
- Slam a door shut before they can leave the room. Alternatively: IN THEIR FACE.
- Physically pick them up and carry them.
- Grip their jaw to force eye contact.
- Pin them with their arms behind their back, like you're the next Bruce Willis.
- Slam them into a wall. Ouch.
- Wrestle/pin them to the ground like this is WWE.
- Trip them, because you are literally or figuratively seven years old.
- Engage in an elaborate, overly aggressive, or perhaps secret handshake.
- WILDCARD, if you think you can get wilder than a secret handshake.
