THE PARENT/CHILD MEME

THE PARENT/CHILD MEME

Parents, congratulations! The precious responsibility of legal guardianship has been placed upon your shoulders. You are now in charge of a real, live, adorable(?) child! Welcome to the greatest adventure of your life! In theory, anyway. Let's hope you don't screw this up...

Children, also congratulations! Whether you had one before this meme or not, you have officially acquired a genuine responsible(?) adult to love and cherish you, teach you useful skills, and look after your every need! In theory, anyway. Let's hope you aren't too much of a handful...


HOW IT WORKS:


Make a post with your character's name and fandom in the subject line, and make note of whether you'd rather play as a GUARDIAN, as a CHILD, or as EITHER. Guardians must be over the age of 18 and children under the age of 18, but if your character is too old or too young for the role you want to play, just shoop their age and make a note of it in the subject line!

[Examples:]
YUFFIE KISARAGI | FFVII | GUARDIAN (25)
ROY MUSTANG | FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST | CHILD (6)

Easy as pie! Now, pick out a likely-looking guardian for your child or a child for your guardian (cross-canon tagging is totally encouraged here, but canon relationships are also fine), tag their post, and start playing! Rolling up a relationship, a scenario, or both at the RNG is entirely optional. Good luck!

RELATIONSHIPS:

1: Born

Behold, the fruit of your loins! Whether you've been raising this kid from day one or have belatedly become their primary guardian, the DNA testing doesn't lie - you are this child's ancestor.

2: Adopted
Not every parental bond starts in the womb. You've selflessly opened your home and your heart on a permanent basis to this bundle of joy. Best of luck as you bond with your new child!

3: Fostered
Sometimes the greatest gift is a place to call home, even if it's just a temporary chapter of life. For however long they're in your care, this kid is depending on you for stability and love.

4: Found
Where did this kid come from? You'd better puzzle it out quick, because you've suddenly found yourself with an extra mouth to feed, and there's nobody else around to do the job.

5: Borrowed
There is somebody else to do the job...but they've passed the baton to you for the time being, or you offered your services yourself. Babysitting is a major responsibility - do your best!


SCENARIOS:

1: "Now I lay me down to sleep..."
It's time to put this kid to bed. How many bedtime stories and drinks of water is it gonna take? Only one way to find out.

2: "Part of this balanced meal!"
Food is the foundation of life, the kitchen is the heart of the home, and mealtime with loved ones can be a peaceful oasis...or a trial by fire.

3: "I'm so proud of you!"
Part of the joy of parenthood is celebrating your child's accomplishments. Whatever your kid did right, make sure you let them know how happy it's made you.

4: "Come, stop your crying, it'll be all right..."
Something has gone badly wrong for this little one. Whether the cure involves a first aid kit, some good advice, or just comfort and reassurance, it's up to you to make things right again.

5: "Say 'ahh'..."
Being sick is never fun, but having somebody around to take good care of you can make all the difference to an ailing child. Try not to catch it yourself, though.

6: "And let that be a lesson to you."
Sometimes, when your child puts a foot wrong, it's your job to set them right. A time-out, a telling-off, grounding, or even corporal punishment...what method do you set stock by?

7: "Now, follow my lead..."
Teaching a skill to a young person is a wonderful way of passing on your wisdom to the next generation. Let the training begin! And let's hope your specialty isn't anything illegal...

8: "Get behind me!"
A threat has emerged, your child is in danger, and you can feel the adrenaline kicking in. It's time to get in there and protect your young!

[A high pitched cry ran through the house in the middle of the night. There was thumping of small feet before a small figure ran through the door of the bedroom, crying.]

[He tugged at his guardian's blanket, crying for all that is worth.]

(It was supposed to be a peaceful walk around the area; the sun was shining radiantly and who better for Django to enjoy it with than his mother, or THE mother of the sun?

But of course things couldn't just stay that simple. A dark presence was looming and he could feel it. His hand instinctively reached for his solar gun; even with Ammy as his mother figure, he wasn't about to let her fight this threat alone. Whatever was coming, it was coming fast.

*This is no world for a child. Strictly speaking, of course, River's not a child; seventeen is grown up in some ways. But she isn't, not really, not all the time. Enough has happened to her that she's not able to be. And she latches onto family figures, unlikely though they may be (sometimes that's even better).

Daryl is one such figure. All of her others have seemed to vanish, but Daryl is still here, and though it might be easier to go it alone, part of surviving in this undead-ridden hellscape is holding onto something human. Holding onto people. And when she's holding onto people, she can't help but show off for them a little at times. Which would be why she's currently skipping over to the veritable cadre of walkers she's just massacred to retrieve her weapons and grinning proudly. See how useful she is?*
