  defrosting.

On occasion, the fun in playing a romantic relationship is not actually playing the relationship proper, but the build up. The characters grow closer, frozen hearts can thaw, emotional barriers may fall, and insight is gained, both about self and potential partners...

...plus, it can be entertaining as all heck to play either a. awkward dancing around the subject, if your character is that type, or b. embracing all that warming up. A little of column A, a little of column B may scratch an itch you never knew you had.

Play one little vignette in time. You may find yourself craving some more.

meme; long-distance relationship

[see_the_stars]

  Long-Distance Relationship Meme

a romantic relationship between two people who live far apart and so are unable to meet on a frequent basis.

What to do if the person you're with...isn't with you? They could be living a town over, across the world, or even across the universe. However, living with you may not be off the table for them; instead, it possibly could be a time to time affair. Most of the time, though, they're off somewhere else and quite busy: working hard to advance their career, playing with their band, leading a revolution, whatever their passion of choice may be. You've come to terms with the distance between you, no matter its origin. And on that note, you're determined to do your best and make this work, despite how much you have to rely on any sort of communication aside from face to face.

Of course, what this all means is that you've got to make up for lost time and make every second you do have when they drop by count. What exactly that entails is up to you. Romance? Fun? Sex? Just being close or hanging out together? In your almost constantly parallel lives, any intersection is good enough.

• You know what to do. Comment with your character, info, prefs, wishes, desires, limits (serious only, fluffy preferred, no smut, humor encouraged, etc.)
• What aspects of a long-distance relationship do you want to play: the communicating between far-flung parties or the times spent together? Leave that in your comment too.

meme; love at wrong sight

[see_the_stars]

  Love at Wrong Sight

Don't be so cynical: love at first sight definitely exists. What also exists is love at wrong sight. Both of you feel a spark, hearts a-flutter, magnetism in full force, all the tell-tale signs of an instant pull, so what's the problem?

Well, there are some big problems. One of you could be taken, you could be on opposites sides of a battle or movement, you have a duty that conflicts with romance, this could be the wrong place at the absolute wrong time, the attraction could be forbidden, or any litany of pitfalls you can imagine could exist. Oh why oh why are you having this sudden swooning now? Here? It's no use denying you're in a pickle.

The quandary is...will you avoid this flight of fancy or will affairs of the heart hit you square in the chest?

meme; twisted soulmate au

[see_the_stars]

  Twisted Soulmate AU.

Consider: a world where most everything is the same as it ever was, yet there's one downside: soulmates are real, and you will find yours. How could that ever be terrible, you ask? Why, we forgot to mention the other little snag...touching your soulmate brings you excruciating pain. Everyone else in your life you can touch no problem, except for them. You know you'll find the one when you hurt.

How does knowing that the person you're destined to be with is the only person you can't touch? Will you avoid contact with anyone so you'll never know and be the "safer" (yet unfulfilled) for it? If you do find that other half, how will you ever show your affection for each other? Sex has to be out of the question entirely, right?

In a life worth living, there's always going to be a little bit of pain. Once it's all said and done, a life with someone is going to make you earn your happiness.

two ▍ be sure to mention if you want to focus more on romance, fluff, angst, smut, etc. be sure to put your hard nos somewhere, too (ie "no smut").

meme; in between & undefined

[see_the_stars]

  In Between & Undefined

zweisamkeit
(n.) the harmonious, often romantic togetherness of two people; a feeling of closeness or affection from being together with someone

Sometimes, there aren't words to describe the relationship between two people. Other times, there are words, but they fall pathetically short. As trite as the phrase sounds - and as maligned as it has been by not so subtle innuendo and lurid gossip - "special friends" best describes you and your most favored companion. The friendship is deep, no one can deny that, but its also more than that. Much More. What you share is romantic, too, though perhaps not on the same terms other people think in. Really, nothing about you two can be defined...and you don't want that to change.

You've found the one person you enjoy spending time with and can be comfortable around. Both of you are just enjoying being here together. It's that easy. It's that comfortable. They're one steady point in this crazy world, and you never have to put on airs around them.

Whether you need someone to comfort you, decompress or share hobbies with or simply offer a shoulder to lean on in silence, relax. They've got you covered, and, for once, you don't have to keep your walls up. Take the edge off.

  ADORASMUT



Smut is great. And, to go hand in hand, kink is good. Angst is good, romance is good, sexy sexy sexy is grand, the whole nine yards. Some days, though, you just want to play adorable smut - where "cute" wins out over smoldering sexiness - and nothing else will scratch the itch. Whether it be a first time, canoodling between lovers, an awkward rendezvous, friends to more, someone learning the ropes, an attempt at showing true feelings, amusing "messing around," or anything your mind can come up with, the only rule is that things must be absolutely cute...at face value or in a twisted way.

• Character, preferences, etc. You can also mention if you want to actually write the smut or if you'd rather FTB.
• Reply and thread, my lovelies!

1. Growing Feelings: You're not in love yet, but the beginnings are there and this intimacy only makes it stronger.


2. Moment of Weakness: The walls are down, for just a fleeting time, and you're taking solace in each other.


3. Platonic: You love each other platonically - as friends, teammates, or other allies - yet you show it in an unconventional way.


4. Actual Love: There's genuine, 100% love and relative devotion here manifested in flesh on flesh.


5. Manipulation: You simply want them to think that you love them, and what better way than to act all gentle and kind in bed?


6. To Win Them Over: Love is what they want, so it's what they'll get if it gets you on their good side.


7. Thirsty for Your Touch: You've wanted them so badly, you can't help but be reverent.


8. Foreplay: Foreplay is often skimmed over, but it can be better than the main course. Savor it...kiss those parts you usually simply thrust into.


9. Desperate: The sex is a little rougher than this meme calls for, though it comes from a place of love. You're so desperate for them, so in love, that you cannot control yourself.


10. Take It Slow: One party isn't so sure about this, so you're being gentle and keeping things easy.


11. Injured/Ill: You can't be rough today. Doctor's orders!


12. Rescue Sex: You saved them, now let them save you.


13. Childhood Love Matured: You cared for each other as children; now you'll show your affection in ways children cannot.


14. Ego Boost You want them to know they're the best, even if they don't feel like it. You have eyes only for them.


15. Focus All on You: It's time for a treat, and you want to be all give and no take.


16. Parting: You're leaving - for a long time or a short while - and you two want to spend a last time together.


17. Return: Finally, you and your lover are back together. Show each other how you missed this.


18. Making Up: Fighting is usually no fun, but making up afterwards? That is.


19. Teaching: Your lessons come with love; just because you're more experienced doesn't mean you look down on them.


20. Gratitude: They really appreciate what you've done for them. Really, really


21. Not Like Them: One of you has had bad experiences in the past, and the other wants to show them that they're not at all like the rest.


22. Old Couple: You've been together for a long time and you know what you like.


23. First Time: In contrast, this is your first time together (or first time, full stop period the end), so you're trying to figure things out.


24. After Confession: The confession of feelings can give a whole new rush to being together.


25. You Mean So Much to Me: Words can't describe how you feel about them. Maybe actions can?


26. Rose Petals and Al Green: Because some people do like that kind of stuff, you know.


27. CHOOSE YOUR OWN

meme; kept apart

[see_the_stars]

  

kept A P A R T

In Japan, Vega is sometimes called Tanabata (or Orihime), a celestial princess or goddess. She falls in love with a mortal, Kengyu (or Hikoboshi), represented by the star Altair. But when Tanabata’s father finds out, he is enraged and forbids her to see this mere mortal. Thus the two lovers are placed in the sky, where they are separated by the Celestial River, known to us as Milky Way. Yet the sky gods are kind. Each year, on the 7th night of the 7th moon, a bridge of magpies forms across the Celestial River, and the two lovers are reunited. Sometimes Kengyu’s annual trip across the Celestial River is treacherous, though, and he doesn’t make it. In that case, Tanabata’s tears form raindrops that fall over Japan.

• Your character is in love. How joyous! But there's a catch; there's always a catch.
• The two characters in each thread can only meet once in a certain designated amount of time. Is it every month? Every year? Every seven years? Every millennia?
• When they do get to meet - what happens? No matter what, it has to be bittersweet.

meme; better than you deserve

[see_the_stars]

  BETTER THAN YOU DESERVE

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

You're not overly proud of yourself; more than anything, you're ashamed. Of the way you look, of the way you act, of your origin, of your past and what you've done, of who you are. Why would anyone want to be around you? Even if they did, they wouldn't understand who you really are. It's easier to just stay away and not get close to anyone.

Then, the one person comes into your life and suddenly, that all changes. They get you, and something that simple makes the tides turn. You're not so ashamed. You can be around them comfortably. Finally, you feel...worthy.

That alone makes you want them more than anything. Still, the thought of losing them by making a move and ruining all you have is bracing. Will you risk it all to see if maybe, just maybe, they could love you

And if you do, what lengths will you go through to protect this relationship?

  place by your side shipping meme;

They showed you kindness, perhaps in a way you'd never seen before, perhaps in a way you can never repay. But you're trying; in exchange, you're offering your loyalty, for how much or how little that's worth. For them, you'd do anything: you'd fight, you'd protect, you'd be their right hand or their biggest advocate, if they needed it and you can offer it. As long as you get to stay by their side, it doesn't matter.

So, you certainly don't have to worry about your bond surpassing what you have now or becoming romantic, do you? That will just get in your way of being there for them. Since you've only got their best interest at heart, it won't bother you if someone else were to pursue them...

...right?

As long as you get to stay by their side. As long as you get to fight for them. As long as they need you.

ROMANTIC FEEDING shipping meme

The stomach being the way to the heart is not exclusive to men. So now, it's time to share some food with that crush, lover, significant other of yours. Mmm! And more than that, you're going to feed them! Whether it's all in fun, flirting, because they're injured and need assistance, or some other reason, you're determined to see them get a square meal. In contrast, you could be the one getting fed. Open up and, no matter what, be glad someone cares! HOW TO PLAY Comment with your character, preferences, and whether they're being fed or doing the feeding. Tag others. RNG that shiz. Cuteness ensues. PROMPTS Fun: Whether it's teasing, flirting, or just plain fun, you want to feed them. Try!: This is the best thing you've ever had! They have to take a bite. Made it For You: You're not just feeding them, you made the food for them. Stealing Your Food: Technically, you're not feeding them, they're just scarfing from your plate. They're lucky you love them so much. Indirect Kiss: This is a big deal if you're not actually dating yet. Their lips touched where yours did...ohmigosh you're going to diiiie. Make Them Eat: They don't eat enough. That's going to change when you get ahold of them. Can't Do it Themselves: One of you is so battered and bruised that the other has to help out come mealtime. Your Favorite: Even if it's not to your taste, you've got what they like the most. Kind: You're just a sweetie who enjoys sharing sweeties. Fancy: You're in a fancy restaurant and splitting an expensive plate. Packed Lunch: It's lunchtime, so you'll share what you have. Just So Cute: They look so adorable when they're eating something they love. Intimate: "Intimacy" doesn't have any sexual terms here, mostly. Instead, eating together is another way to bond. Sexy: How about eating off of each other, or something equally naughty? A human plate is all the same. Innuendo: Some foods you can't avoid eating in a manner that looks a little...suggestive. Lick: You're not eating. You're cleaning up their face with your lips and tongue. WILDCARD

  COMFORTABLE TOGETHER.

shipping (?) meme

Can you ever get a moment of peace?

You're never able to relax around people; instead, you're constantly on edge, with the very presence of others feeling somewhere between grating and unsettling. Or, at least, that's how it used to feel, like you were about to fall off that edge at any moment. But not any more. You've found the one person you enjoy spending time with and can be comfortable around. What are they to you? A lot. More than you can say. Still, you don't see the need for labels. Both of you are just enjoying being here together. It's that easy. It's that comfortable. They're one steady point in this crazy world, and you never have to put on airs around them.

Whether you need someone to comfort you, decompress or share hobbies with or simply offer a shoulder to lean on in silence, relax. They've got you covered, and, for once, you don't have to keep your walls up. Take the edge off.

meme; fail smut

[see_the_stars]

  

FAIL SMUT MEME It's time for everyone's worst nightmare. You're about to make the hanky panky with your boo but the unthinkable happens: y'all screw up. Like, you screw too I guess, but mostly you screw up. One of you gets hurt, you get stuck in your clothes, an interloper appears... Basically, no matter what you do, you can't get it on.

• BUT WHO WAS PHONE You're doing your best to spend some quality time together but something (or someone) keeps interrupting you. Someone has come to visit. Someone keeps calling you. A pet decides that right now is the perfect time for cuddles. • THAT LOOKS LIKE IT HURTS You fell off the bed. Or hit your head. Or you've been trying out something kinky and found out you can't handle pain so that paddle hurts. Hope you don't have too bad an injury, pal. • I SWEAR THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE Whether this is an all-the-time problem or you just gave yourself a case of whiskey dick, you can't get in the mood. This goes for persons with bajingos as well - maybe you're just not feeling it no matter how hard you try. Maybe try again tomorrow? • SPANISH FLEA PLAYS IN THE BG Your friendly 'wow, what?' option. Call out the wrong name? Can't stop bickering and ruin the mood? The bed broke? You can't get your shirt off? Your underwire stabbed you in the boob? Someone called the cops? (In that case, we ARE the cops.) As always, these are just suggestions. Make up anything you want, as long as you're having fun!

  Proper COURTSHIP

You can't deny you're interested in this person romantically, but normal, modern "dating" is not on the table. Whether you call a more classical or classical fantasy time period home or you're simply a sucker for the traditional, a courtship is what the two of you are about to enter!

• Depending on what culture, era, and style of courtship you think would be interesting to play out, there are many different guidelines and traditions. Feel free to get inspired!
• Is it an arranged courtship, or did everyone involved enter because they wanted to and it was their idea? That's up to you. You're also welcome to play this as the obvious shippy, bromantic, awkward, or something else entirely.

meme; pampered pet

[see_the_stars]

PAMPERED PET

Most people know you two are a couple...or they assume. Truth be told, they're part right. Whether you're a romantic couple or not, you are together sexually. On top of that, though, there's a little nugget of information most don't know: you're kinky. Maybe even lifestyle kinky. Whether or not that's the case, and whether your relationship is BDSM, master/slave, petplay, spoiled princess/prince complex, or something different all together, one of you is a bit more "kept" than the other. There's certainly a good deal of doting going on, but don't forget - when you're naughty, punishment may be necessary. You wouldn't want that, would you?

meme; little steps

[see_the_stars]

  little steps

No matter how much they care for the other person and want to be with them, some people simply can't dive head first into relationships. Little things that form intimacy and romance, little acts we take for granted - being close, holding hands, kissing, showing affection in public - they won't or can't do...at least not right off the bat. Something in their past, their experiences, their trauma, or even their personality holds them back. For both them and the person they're "dating," as it were, this can lead to a frustrating experience.

Still, steps can be taken towards letting the walls fall down. Little, tiny steps, but those can mean the world all the same.

The People

One With the help of a partner, one person warms up.
Two Both sides of this couple are learning how to be in a relationship and to be open.

The Actions

Talking → A relationship can't exist if there's not some communication, so either learn to use your words or become so close you can speak without them.
Spending Time → Even such mundane occurrences as watching TV or cooking together is new ground.
Touching → You might just find you enjoy reaching out and touching them.
Kissing → Another kind of touch, when you think about it.
Cuddling → ...at least they're warm and, hopefully, soft.
Sleeping → You're at your absolute weakest when you're asleep. It shows trust to doze off around this person.
Public Display → It's one thing to be in love in private, but showing you care in public is a different story.
Kind Words → Three little words (more or less) are all it takes. Why, then, are they so hard to get out?
Sex The ultimate stumbling block to some. To be laid blissfully bare is to truly let your guard down.

meme; (not necessarily romantic) proposal

[see_the_stars]

  

THE (NOT NECESSARILY ROMANTIC) PROPOSAL MEME Sure, you've got your obvious proposals. Marriage happens all the time. But what about other kinds of proposals? You're trying to get your boss to agree to the project you want to head. You want to go into business with your best friend. You want to have a kid. You're trying to suggest something to have for dinner. You're trying to build a superhero team. The possibilities are endless.

TYPE 1. FRIENDLY Whether you want to take your bromance to the next level or need to crash a few days, you need to ask your friend to agree to what you're throwing down. 2. BUSINESSLIKE Your boss wants you to come up with a project in the next hour! You're Batman and Wonder Woman setting up the Justice League!! You want to build a new Arby's franchise!! 3. ROMANTIC You want to date. Or marry. Or have a kid. Or get a divorce. Wait, what? 4. MISC Anything that doesn't fit. SCENARIOS 1. WINGMAN Your friend needs to LOCK THAT SHIT DOWN but they either don't realize it or too scared. Can you make the proposal for them? Better hope it doesn't fuck anything up. 2. PERFECTION Your horse and carriage got you the engagement. Your powerpoint presentation got you the team leader position. Whatever it is, it went swimmingly. 3. DISASTER Your significant other swallowed the ring in the champagne. You spilled coffee on your boss. Better try to clean this mess up. 4. LAZY You're just sitting around and the thought pops into your head. Why not, right? What could possibly go wrong? 5. AWKWARD Either you've misjudged or it's just the wrong time, but, well... Things didn't go HORRIBLY but they're just. Weird now. Pick up the pieces and try again. At least you didn't... 6. CHICKEN OUT You were so ready. So so ready. But when it came time, you choked. Can you change the subject fast enough? Is your boss looking at you like you're crazy? 7. OVERBLOWN Did you really need the flash mob just to ask your friend out to the movies? 8. MISC Anything left over!! What will you put here? Whatever man, we're not the cops. Have fun. As always, these are just suggestions. Make up anything you want, as long as you're having fun!

  Star Sex...Sex Wars?

Whatever, it's a smutty Star Wars AU meme

"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." And cue the text crawl. Only this time, there's some small print involved.

You know the story - rebellions, evil empires, politics, and a mystic harmony called the Force that gives power to those who train in its arts. But what if the tale skewed much more...carnal? Trade and peace talks are sealed with copulation, alien species want to interbreed throughout the star systems, the Empire desires complete sexual domination. As for the Force, those who follow its ways - the Jedi knights - search for physical enlightenment as well as the mental variety.

tl;dr it's a Star Wars AU, but with sex. A lot of sex. A lot of a lot of sex. Don't read too much into it. Have fun, be as serious or as silly as you want.

HOW TO PLAY

• Reply to others, use the RNG to get prompts. Or not.
• Thread.

PROMPTS

1. Cantina Girl/Guy: You just work at one of the multiple dives around the galaxy. Let's hope you get decent tips for all those times people squeeze your ass.
2. Prince/ss: Royalty is in your blood, but that just means you have more duties to your people. Don't get too haughty, or a peasant might put you in your place!
3. Smuggler: For your ship making the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs, you'll take only one specific type of payment.
4. Jedi Knight: The Force is with you...and the extra libido that comes with being a Force user is along for the ride, too.
5. Bodyguard: As a Jedi, you've been put in charge of protecting someone very important. Better guard every part of their body throughly.
6. Training: The only way to learn to wield the Force is with a partner.
7. Forbidden Knight/Padawan Love: Under Jedi code, there's only one taboo when it comes to sex: padawans and their masters are not to engage in it. You've broken that taboo, shattered it into a million pieces.
8. Last Night on...Earth?: The two of you are about to go out on what will be a suicide mission, so it's only natural you don't want to spend the night alone.
9. Dark and Light: One of you fights for good, the other for evil. You're both dyed in the wool and dedicated, but that's not to say you don't find common ground.
10. Battle: Lightsaber battles between rivals can get pretty intense.
11. Slave: Whether you belong to a giant slug alien or someone more humanoid, you were the chains.
12. Toy of the Empire: The bad guys have caught you. Torture isn't all that you must go through.
13. Stormtrooper: What's going on under all that armor? Wait, you're a girl?
14. Powerful Evil: You're higher up on the food chain than your average Stormtrooper, meaning you get to freely indulge in all those dark desires.
15. Spoils of War: A captured rebel? An important bargaining piece of upper empire management? Perhaps even a refugee from a destroyed planet? Regardless of who you are, you're now at someone's mercy.
16. Peace Treaty: After longwinded discussions, it's time to sign the treaty between two worlds and put their conflicts to bed. Literally.
17. Planetary Goodwill: You've been sent out to a planet to engage its people, discover its resources, or convince the government to join the Rebellion/Empire. As such, your body is the ultimate key to diplomacy.
18. Xenophilia: Not all lovers look human.
19. Sex in the Cockpit: That is not a proper technique for piloting an X-Wing!
20. Built for Pleasure: Droids have many purposes, yet they're all built to serve.
21. A Bounty on Me?: Uh-oh, you've become a lucrative target for bounty hunters! Can you offer up something thats worth more than money to save your hide?
22. Victory: Your cause is victorious! Time to step up to the stage, get your medal, and screw the princess senseless in front of hundreds of people.

"What You Do To Me" Meme



You're only made of flesh and blood - unless you aren't, in which case we apologize for making assumptions. However, the point still stands that you, as a person, can only stand so much of what you find alluring before you want to act on it. No matter if you're usually uninterested in anything carnal, you're interested in what your significant other/partner/crush/random acquaintance is doing now. They have to be teasing you - or you're teasing yourself.

Perhaps you can hold out, or maybe you're going to cave in and tell them just what they're doing to you. Or better yet, show them...

How to Play

• Comment with your character and preferences. You're also going to want to mention what roles your character can play, if you're cool with assumed CR and AUs, and any other information about your character that makes tagging them easier.
• Reply to others.
• Thread.

Prompts

1. Innocent: They don't know what they're doing. That's part of the appeal!
2. Purposefully: Oh, they know they're winding you up. And they'll keep doing it. And doing it...
3. Long Time: This awkward dance has been going on for a while. You've just about reached your breaking point.
4. Closeness: Come together, right now, bring the world together. Of course, making peace and being all cozy is decidedly more difficult when you're close to someone insanely hot.
5. Sexy Getup: A skirt like that should be illegal. Or what about that v-neck top that shows off their muscles? Hnngh.

The AU!Pet Person Meme (Shipping & Smut)

>> PREMISE

Hello, and welcome to The Care and Keeping of Your Pet! As you surely know, a pet is a big responsibility, and we're so glad you've decided to be a conscientious master. A safe pet is a happy pet, and this handbook is certain to keep your precious lifelong friend as content as can be. The history of the animal person is a long and difficult one, with their origins not being known even to this day. However, scientists believe that despite our common appearance - most animal people have humanoid forms except for the ears, tails, and sometimes teeth - we share no common ancestry, even if the ascent of this species corresponds with that of the homo sapiens. We gained dominance over each breed thousands of years ago, beginning with the dog type, who have long been considered "man's best friend." Most breeds these days are docile and perfect for owners of any speed. Of course, it is our duty as the superior species to take care of these animal creatures, and this is inherent in their genetic makeup. Everyone knows that an animal person, when matched with their correct human master, is loyal for life - a true "soulmate," if you will. Far be it for us to turn this away! Ever since the Great Domestication, these intelligent and loving animals have served us as friends, workmates, guardians, servants, and sexual companions and will for years to come. Despite recent hubbub from so-called "Pet People's Rights Activists," this way of life is wholesome and good. Scientific research shows that the natural desire of the pet person is to be owned and cared for by a human. So, it's your first pet. What do you need to know?  As previously stated, pet people come in as many breeds as you can possibly think of. By far and away the most popular are the dog and cat types, but exotic birds and lizards have been gaining popularity among trendsetters from L.A. to Tokyo!  All pet types are best suited for certain jobs, and when hunting for one, it is best to search for a type that suits your needs best.  However, a "True Match" - when a pet person bonds with you and only you for the rest of their natural lives - comes naturally, and sometimes takes time before you can find the pet you will be able to give a forever home to.  According to all current research, pet people are completely sentient and like us in many ways. However, it is important to remember that they have many animalistic and feral characteristics. Do not be foolish and think that your pet is a person, despite the facts that many are clothed and may be allowed to read, write, and have "hobbies." Some traditional pet owners may eschew these frivolities, and that is within their right.  Pet people age more quickly than humans, at least physically, and many types have long lifespans. It is not uncommon for pets to be passed through the family. When getting your child their first pet, it's important to keep in mind that just because the pup is tiny now, a grown pet can be jumpy around a small child.  It is important to train a pet. Discipline will be necessary. This does not make you a bad owner. Failure to train early will result in a rebellious pet. Training is especially important if you want your pet to serve as a household servant.  Remember, your pet will be extremely protective of you, especially if you are Truly Bonded. It is best to socialize them early. A socialized pet is a perfect family pet.  These days, unowned and unbonded pet people are allowed to live as strays or "Frees" in certain designated areas. Some even hold "jobs." This is against their best interest, and owners who adopt these strays are to be rewarded. Still, the best place to get pets are from liscenced kennels or breeders.  Some masters find it beneficial to participate in activities with their pets, such as shows and other competitions.  Finally, much has been made about the sexual relationship between pet and master. This is a normal facet of the bond, and humans are sure to find pet people sexually alluring. But beyond that, it is only responsible and prudent for owners to care for their pet's needs. It is a well-known fact that the libidos of pet people are remarkably strong, and when they go into heat, it is usually more convenient for a master to relieve them. There is no risk of pregnancy. All rumors of hybrids are urban legends.  Despite this, masters must remember to not view their pets as romantic partners. Humans should stay with humans. With that said, thank you and welcome to your first day as a pet's master!

 

>> HOW TO PLAY

Needless to say, The Care and Keeping of Your Pet is a bit biased and full of propaganda, but it gives a good idea of the world your character is now AU's into. They are either a pet person or a human master, and what that means for them varies. So are they a devoted pet or a rebellious animal person looking to buck the system? A generous master or a cruel sexual sadist? Just a normal pet owner? Most likely they're something in between, but when you're raised in this world, it's difficult to see anything different on the horizon. Rules  Comment with your character and say whether they'd be a master or a pet. Ideally, they could be played as both. Mention what kind of each they'd be and what they'd be like, (ie: "Xx-chan is a bunny girl who is happy to please her master" or "Asterothia is a cat boy who is aloof but loyal to his true master"). For pets, be sure to include features ("wolf ears, tail, teeth). REMEMBER, pet does not automatically equal submissive and master automatically equal dominant. This is not a BDSM setting though BDSM can be included. How far you want to go with the actual "pet" aspect is up to you, as well. Your pet could just be your slightly-furry roommate or soulmate!  Comment to others.  Play out the scene.

 

>> PROMPTS

This by now means an all-inclusive list, but it should get you going in the right direction.  First Time Pet/Owner: Usually, pets are gotten at a young age; you're an old dog. Can you learn new tricks?  True Bond: What all masters and pets yearn for...the pet's loyalty and adoration for life.  Love: It's expected for masters to love their pets, but to love them? Romance is strictly forbidden.  Old "Couple": Master and pet have grown together and know each other. You know, know each other.  Loss of Master: The pet has lost their master, perhaps even their True Bond. Is it possible to move on?  Young Master/Older Pet: Pets age quicker than masters, so it's possible to end up with a bit of an "age" difference.  Family Pet: This pet's been raised as part of the family. What happens when their feelings for a family member get more than platonic.  For Your Protection: You don't want to be a master, but you have to take in a pet for their protection lest they be in danger from the general public.  Stray: You're a stray or a "Free." Can you live like this with your biology screaming for you to make a match?  Servant: You're more servant than pet.  All Sex, All the Time: The only purpose for this pet is to service the master, and not in a way that means cleaning their house.  Guard: You're a loyal bodyguard, a service pet. You'll do anything for your master. Anything.  Pet Play: This is for those who prefer to keep their animals on leashes, have them eat from bowls, and keep away from clothing.  Breaking In: Training is important with any pet.  In Love with Another Master...or Pet: To lust after another's master is no better than treason, and to wish to be with another pet just cruel!  Punishment: Bad dog, no nookie!  Heat: All pets go into heat, and it's the responsibility of the owner to take care of this problem. After all, unchecked dry humping kills thousands every year.  Breeding: Breeders know the best qualities in each type and mate the cream of the crop together to continue lines. It's a hobby for some, a calling for others.  Pregnancy: So, about that whole "hybrid" thing. It maaaay be more true than you think, even if pet/human pregnancies are the stuff of salacious tabloids.  Territorial: Hey, hey, other dog person! This is your apartment. Stay the fuck out!  Kennel: Kennels are where unadopted pets are kept. They're generally agreed to be depressing places. Why not volunteer at one, keeping the pets healthy and happy with the kind of affection only humans can show?  Rebelling Against the System: Damn the Man! Pet people are people, too! Just be careful not to get talk. You know what happens to bad pets.  Instant Attraction: You ever just look at someone and know they're the one? That they're...your master? But what if you've been trying to fight it? Well, don't try!  Dominant Pet: You might be the pet, but you call the shots, at least in the bedroom.  Pet Show: Everyone wants to show off how perfect their animal is. Look at that ass! And you'll never believe their special skills...  Therapeutic: Pets, especially those bred for their kindliness, are perfect therapy for those who've been through trauma and heartache.  Jealousy: Who's that around your master? Oh, hell no. They better not be touching them!  Petting: Pet people are absolutely gaga for being touched. Even the most steely ones turn to mush for rubs.  Games: Playing with your pet and giving them exercise is a key to happiness. Of course, with a pet person, you might want to use other toys instead of a ball.

meme; space opera

[see_the_stars]

  SPACE OPERA AU

A space opera is defined as "a subgenre of science fiction that emphasizes space warfare, melodramatic adventure, interplanetary battles, as well as chivalric romance, and often risk-taking." Star wars is probably the most well known example, but one could also look to the Gundam or Macross series, some parts of Star Trek, Guardians of the Galaxy, Battlestar Galactica, Jupiter Ascending, Legend of Galactic Heroes, or maybe even Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

This meme is for all your overly dramatic space adventure needs. Leave a comment with your character's name and canon and maybe a few AU ideas or prompt preferences, then look around and tag other people and blow up some spaceships.

HERE ARE SOME PROMPTS IF YOU'RE FEELING UNINSPIRED

1. Commanders
You have your fleet of horribly beweaponed starships. They have theirs. Who will win, and what can you learn about someone from how they maneuver their fleet?

2. Boarding operation
Okay, so...you lost. Now the enemy is here, burning a hole in the side of the ship so they can come on board and probably not do anything good. Prepare to make your last stand.

4. Xenophilia
"But how can I love you, when you are an Earthling and I am a Martian? It has never been done before!"

5. Space-balls
No, not the movie. The party. The upper crust of the galactic federation (or whatever) gathers today to have a bit of fancy fun. Beautiful music, tasty snacks, fabulous outfits, and outside the windows you can see alien world, spreading out to the horizon or hanging below the space station like a giant glittering marble. Are you used to this kind of thing, or did your invitation arrive by accident? Maybe you didn't get invited at all!

6. Enemy Mine
Your people and their people have been at war for who knows how long, but now circumstances are forcing you to work together. When the alternative is death at the hands of a mutual enemy or a hostile environment, maybe your foe isn't quite so unrelateable as you thought.

7. Repairs
The reactor's going critical. Or there are mines stuck to your hull. Or you need to get the engines working before you drift into an asteroid field. In the depths of space, there's no room for fucking up.

8. Space Royalty
"Ladies an gentlemen, all bow before the Queen of Jupiter, and her escort the Duchess of Orion."

9. First Contact
The first time your species has met their species face to face. Maybe you're diplomats, meeting under formal circumstances and representing your entire race. Maybe you're both out in the depths and both happened to see the same asteroid you wanted to build a mine on.

10. Fly boys (or girls)
Battleships slug it out in the background, but we all know the real excitement is taking place on a smaller scale. Pilot a space fighter, or a mecha of some kind, and having thrilling dogfights in space! Then live to tell the tale and go to a bar to brag about how awesome you are to attractive strangers!

11. Space Pirates
Avast me hearties! Shiver me timbers and draw up the solar sail. Fly the skull and crossbones! Grab your blasters and put on your space suits! I've got an Earthling freighter right in me sights that's just BEGGING for us to become closer acquainted!

  Alone No More meme

You've always been lonely, as long as you can remember. Perhaps its your appearance that drives other aways, your attitude, your personality, your dangerous lifestyle or even your circumstances beyond your control. By your own design or no, out of necessity or not, all that matters is you've never had a true companion, not really.

Until you meet another freak, someone else incredibly different...someone who also wants to stay with you.

The circumstances, good or bad, under which you met don't matter, because you're not alone anymore. In fact, this person makes you want to look past any self-loathing or low self-esteem you may have and be better. At least they do on some level. Why they care, you don't entirely know. One thing is for certain, however: you'll do anything to keep them safe and by your side. Your situation may just come in handy, for once.
