Scars

[theseshadesaregucci]

the s c a r s meme

Most everyone has some sort of scars. Some are from happy accidents. Some are from events you'd rather not speak about. But sometimes, two people can share a moment over scars: Be it friendly, romantic, or with a complete stranger. These are those moments.




01. new: the scar is fairly new. maybe you still need to do something to make sure it heals more properly. maybe you're just worried about the new scar that's appeared on someone you care about.
02. discovery: you've just had someone find out about your scars, or you've just accidentally learned that the other person has scars. do you say something, or let the moment pass uncommented on?
03. shame: maybe you're ashamed of your scars. maybe you want someone else to know that there's no need to hide their scars around you.
04. show: you're proud of your scars, or at least you don't see a reason to keep them covered-- never have, or not anymore. or maybe someone is showing you their scars for the first time.
05. story: it's time to talk about the story behind your scars. or, perhaps, it's time to listen to someone tell you about how they came about their scars.
06. touch: maybe you want someone to touch your scars so you can remind yourself you're still here. maybe you want to touch their scars because you want to show them you don't mind them.
07. attraction: you've heard that people like someone with scars, so you're flaunting them, or you're the person very attracted to someone with scars. 
08. kiss: letting this person kiss your scars may be a moment of extreme vulnerability, or just something you like. kissing someone else's scars may be just what you need to do to show someone how much you care. 
09. soulmate: you live in a world where your soulmates scars appear on your own skin. what's that like?
10. other: wildcard option.

gale dekarios | bg3

[corporeity]

[ re-voicetesting! prefs. either role, handwave injuries as needed. ]

[sanguivorous]

[Saunters over here now. Would you like to peruse his scars, Gale. Or Astarion can fuss over something on him if you'd like]

thorntail ("tav") 🐉 bg3

[wanderment]

( info in journal! she has various scars all over her body, but her coloration is one big sensitive scar. good with all prompts, either role, gen or shippy! )

Astarion Ancunin | Baldur's Gate 3 | OTA

[sanguivorous]

[No 1 or 9. He has massive scarring on his back, part of a pact written in infernal that his vampire master carved on him.

Tavs/Durges, companions and cross-canon welcomed. Also happy to play him fussing over your character's scars]

[lady_kaivodulin]

{{this one has a fiend pact and is very nosy so perhaps they could be trying to figure out what his scars say before they cut the deal with Raphael in Act 2? She has scars too but she'd insist his are more interesting.}}

lumine ( genshin impact )

[viatriix]

topaz ( honkai: star rail )

[topazx]

march 7th ( honkai: star rail )

[crystalgenic]

( She doesn't have any notable ones, the Astral Express crew take good care of her. But tell her one of yours. )

brigitte fitzgerald | ginger snaps

[wolfwoman]

godric | true blood

[piric]

either/both. most prominent is the brand on his shoulder.

silco • arcane

[sanks]

connor ( d:bh )

[detechs]

unless he’s been injured and unable to repair, he has none, so likely not the subject.

Tieve (Tav) | Baldur's Gate 3 | ota

[tiveragh]

[She has a burn scar that criss-crosses her face, with a tattoo of the Tree of Life that partially covers it. The scarring continues down the left side of her neck and shoulder and on scattered patches on her flank and legs.

Probably not prompt 9 but I'm otherwise open to whatever!]

William Afton / Steve Raglan | Five Nights at Freddy's

[wantthejobornot]

[for the sake of the game he's got some pretty gnarly scars he keeps hidden.]

Tsuzuki Asato | Yami no Matsuei

[cinnamonbun]

[ Only one scar on his inner right wrist that comes with a warning for self-harm. (m/m for any shippy business.) ]

ARID | The Fall: Unbound | OTA

[inperspective]

[Cosmetic fixes aren't a priority when you're on the run, so Arid's armor still bears the marks of her misadventures - most prominently, the plating on her lower back is crumpled after being wrenched outward and bent back into place, and she has a series of patched puncture wounds around her head. She might be seeking a chance to fix the damage or sympathizing with/getting nosy about someone else's.]

towa | slow damage

[sgraffito]

Dorian Storm | Critical Role | OTA

[makingmyway]

(( He does seem to have some new ones ))

nile freeman | the old guard

[babyguard]

(come reflect on a baby immortal who doesn't have any scars at all)

[transfuge]

[ Booker's lips linger on her right shoulder for a moment where hours before some thug had stabbed her. As always, as it forever would be, her skin is smooth, soft, and still slightly damp from the shower to wash the blood away.

No hint of an injury. No note of a scar. Nothing but satin under his lips. His stubble must feel incredibly rough in comparison.

His lips continue their journey along her skin. He pauses when he reaches her neck. Booker should have a scar there too where the rope ground against his skin while he hung in the bitter cold. Hers should be thin and pale from one side to the other. There's nothing to mark the deaths that awakened this strange power in them.

This curse and blessing they both carry. He has some scars from before but they're small and normal for a man of his century. Nothing remarkable. Nothing that spoke to the violence they both endured for the sake of others.

Of course he's rougher around the edges compared to her.

He nuzzles, a hint of tongue coming out to taste before he draws back. Booker shifts his weight to one arm and he strokes his fingers along her neck and down over her chest. He studies her, checking to see how she likes the attention. ]

loki odinson | where mischief lies

[annarr]

[give him all your scar stories let him be intrusive and touchy-feely about them thx]

[jaegerpiloting]

[ are you up for a continuation of their text thread to in person here? if so i can set up the starter. come visit alaska loki let's get weird ]

childe ( genshin )

[rowdie]

[ he's literally covered in them, though he probably won't talk about some of them. ]

moth ( monstrous series ) ota

[cheapcharms]

[ooc: SUPER voice-testing, and he's a book character so as of yet has only one icon I made from the book cover. but anyway.

he's ashamed of his scars, which include words in an inhuman language all along his spine, which his monster parent carved there so they can summon him from anywhere whenever they feel like it. his non-ear piercings (tongue, two on upper lip and one in the center of his bottom lip) are also technically scars and were also given to him unwillingly, as were his tattoos: more words in a monster language written all over his body except his face. they tell other monsters he's a half-breed and undeserving of their time and attention.]

Vaggie | Hazbin Hotel | OTA

[xangel]

Hawke || Dragon Age

[battlemaged]

[ has more than his share and all of them have a story to go with ]

Shanks | One Piece LA

[red_hair]

The Lone Wanderer || Fallout 3

[wasteland_101]

[This poor girl has lots of scars. Various cuts and gunshot wounds, laser burns, claw marks...

Most are on her right arm. The most noticeable are a set of claw marks near her wrist. (She nearly lost the hand.) She also has 3 claw marks on her back from a Deathclaw. They run from right shoulder to left hip. Thin near the top and wider than a man's hand near the middle.]

[stretchy_girl]

I've often wondered whether those still hurt?

[Gemini seems to have appeared out of nowhere, making her presence known once Angel's relaxed enough to expose her scars, cocking her head in curiosity as she looks over that impressive collection. Her own skin is entirely unmarked, smooth and flawless, and after a moment she reaches forward, ignoring any personal boundaries to let her fingers press against a scar on her arm, exploring its texture, an identical scar taking shape on her own arm.

She's inflicted an enormous number of scars in her long life, given that they hold a certain fascination for her, markers of violence that her own body will never experience.
