swipes: a friendr meme

Any new arrival to the city has seen the ad for a free app popping up on their devices, and anyone who's been around for a while probably has a profile and has used it a bit. It's almost universal in the city - Friendr, a friend-finder and/or dating app. If characters choose to install it, they will fill out a short bio and parameters for what they're looking for, upload a snap of themselves, and then proceed to browse for matches. This is a typical swipe-left-or-right type app. The default color scheme can be seen below, but the Friendr app has a wide variety of themes, so feel free to customize with colors and patterns as you see fit, but do not remove the credit line out of respect for the creator of the code.

Friendr base code is by photosynthesis.
● Post up a top-level for your character with their Friendr profile and then go around and swipe left or right on everyone else's!
● This meme is for characters already accepted into the game to window shop other characters' Friendrs while they're all gathered conveniently into one place.
● This meme is GAME CANON, so any threads played out in this meme can be carried through into the actual canon of the game.
● Much like the TDM, threads on this meme can count for Activity Points, but not the monthly Activity Check.

Ida-what-now?
And you are so not 18. I'm 18. How are you 18?! You're not 18! You're older than Izzy and Izzy is not like... 13.
I am so confused right now. And he's probably been acting weird because of our chat on the night of the Glow Ball. But he wanted it, so.
no subject
Of course I'm not. I turned 19 in September.
Yes, I'm older than Izzy.
[Why is Clary acting like that's weird? Mentally he shrugs it off as one of those Mundane things he'll never understand.]
What happened at the Ball? He hasn't talked to me much about it.
no subject
[ There's a lot of opening and closing of her mouth as she stares at the screen like she's going to verbally respond but instead - for now - she's letting it go. ]
He wanted a drink and a talk and we sort of talked about things without me mentioning Jonathan as such. Just that Jace finally believes he isn't my brother. And he thinks he's lost you back home which is why he's sort of being weird because he has you here so he'd rather be here.
It wasn't the most fun of conversations, but I guess it was always going to be had at some point. Better to at least be mostly honest.
no subject
What is the last thing you remember about Jonathan?
I think he always knew but he was too hurt from everything to accept it. He wouldn't talk to me about it, but I know he was grieving.
I knew he'd find out eventually. I just thought when he was ready he'd talk to me or Izzy about it since he needed us before when it became overwhelming. I'll have to tell him what happened after everything at the lake.
no subject
Jace killing him on the bridge.
I'm sorry I stepped on your toes, but he asked me to tell him the truth. I haven't mentioned the lake at all. The fight with Valentine. His dying. I only said I was further along and we definitely weren't related when I arrived. That I need time to be able to be friends with him. It hurts for different reasons than it hurts for him.
no subject
More than that happened after Jace killed him.
More happened to all of us. You'll probably want to know the details eventually.
It's okay, Clary. I should have known he'd ask you. It's not your fault. None of it ever was.
I just thought things were getting better with Jace.
If he doesn't give you the space you need, I'll kick his ass for you.
no subject
Wow, that's a first, isn't it? Something that finally isn't my fault. I tried to handle it as best I could, but it was always going to be a hard conversation.
I really wasn't trying to make them worse, but it's obviously playing on his mind a lot - the whole not remembering thing. Losing you is a definite fear for him.
I can fight my own battles, Alec, but thank you. Somehow I think he will. He said something about wanting me to feel like I could have a life here. Still not sure why that meant I had to be his sister, but at least we do have that sorted.
no subject
[He'll respect Clary's wish not to know what else happens, but he won't let her think that she'd failed somehow and Jace died at the lake.]
It is. Especially when he's being so stubborn about what he believes. Magnus told him what happened but he still didn't listen.
I don't know why he's acting this way. Sometimes he seems like he was before the wars. Then the PTSD kicks in. I don't know why he thought being your brother was the only way you could have a life, but it probably ties in to something Valentine did to him. All the 'to love is to destroy' and telling him love turned him into a monster.
no subject
[ She wanted to ask how, but she still wasn't sure she wanted all the answers. She didn't even know if it made it easier or harder knowing given things with Jace here were still so... complicated. ]
I don't understand. I would have thought it would have been a relief to know. That he could have trusted you and Magnus. Anyway. I guess this is progress?
Valentine is a giant psychopathic dick. I can't believe I'm related to him. Jace should be grateful that he isn't. But I guess I get it. When you put it like that... If Valentine poisoned his mind then off course he's messed up.
no subject
They're still not extinct enough for me.
[It's an in joke between Izzy, Jace, and Alec but he still has to say it since it is true. Dragon demons are annoying and he usually gets frustrating injuries on those hunts.]
Whatever happened, it was traumatic enough that he couldn't believe us. I don't know what to call what happened. I know there's words for it, but Shadowhunters don't admit to PTSD or mental problems.
Family doesn't define who a person is. You might be related to him, but that isn't what makes you who you are.
Jace was raised by him. No matter how much others might think he should be happy that he's not related, he is. No matter how abusive he was, Valentine was his father in all the ways that matter.
Jace loved him and Valentine sacrificed him to the Angel.
Messed up sounds like he'll never heal or move on. He will, but it takes time to accept your past and the way your parents treated you. Sometimes you just forgive for yourself and find ways to cope.
no subject
[ She's not going to say it's because he doesn't have her either. He's not her Jace, and she has to keep reminding herself of that. She's just destined to lose him no matter what. Although if Alec is right and he comes back... ]
I really do hate him. I hate everything he is. Jace didn't deserve him.
I don't know, I clearly don't have the answers. I want him to be okay. I want him to be happy. I want him to heal. He does need to forgive himself.
no subject
I haven't been ignoring it. I've been trying to help him as best I can but if he doesn't want to deal with it, what am I supposed to do? Tie him up and force him to talk? That defeats the purpose and probably would make it worse.
So trying to get himself killed like he did last time he dealt with Valentine related trauma would be better than baking and denial?
No one deserved what he did. Not even Jonathan.
That takes time. I know he'll get there, but right now, I'm not sure what will help. Last time he had Simon to help him get through some of the Valentine related guilt.
