PET PERSON MEME

>> 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 concientious 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 sapien. 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.

in summary: the sweet, cheerful, slightly dim-witted princess of the Borgia family – actually a manipulative liar who is always putting on a performance to please others, terrified that they'll harm her. Ruby has spent her whole life being controlled, abused, sold off to men, and shunned as an outsider; as a result she's a bitter but helpless victim, deeply distrustful of people and resigned to her endless cycle of suffering.

happy to go with either role for this!
as a pet — cat, fox, or songbird. originally a stray, then passed between various homes; she spent a while as the seemingly pampered pet of a wealthy family, but was eventually left at a shelter again. skittish and occasionally shows moments of intense prey animal wariness, but otherwise very affectionate, obedient, and eager to please her owner whether they're kind or cruel to her.
as an owner — fond of more dominant or pushy pets for this option! the (adopted) daughter of wealthy socialites, likely either with an older family pet, a new one that her middle brother has gifted her, or secretly hiding a stray she's trying to care for. monstrous pet types may feel an instinctive affinity with her. kind and gentle as an owner, but strangely cautious and distant at times.

a-okay with everything except pregnancy (breeding kink is fine), check my prefs for any hard nos! )

( nazuna most likely may have have brought home a stray on the stretch between home and school. horribly doting and a bit of a tease, he would be fairly lax as a master but can put his foot down when need be.

if a pet, an energetic rabbit who may have previously belonged to someone else. he'd be torn between devotion to his current master and the idea of freedom yet still eager to please.

also open to pet+pet scenarios! )

[Vincent is m/m only. Multiple options here for pet or owner. If you want an owner, Vincent will give you a decent apartment or townhouse. Pet-wise, Vincent would be a deer or a unicorn. Ergo would be a dragon. Can have either one or both for a pet.

No dubcon, noncon, beast, or bathroom.]

[Pet only unless discussed, he'd be a deer or bear. Can be canon era or modern AU]

Either role really, if he was a pet he'd be a wolf or a falcon. There isn't much I won't do, but watersports of any kind is a no go.]

[Either role, but if you decide pet he'd be a bear or a dog. Watersports is the only kink I will not do.]

[Pet for certain and he'd be a cat.]

[Pet. He's a spider all ready, but he can be something more standard if you prefer.]

[ A designer pet bunny from the nationally beloved Strawberry Productions pet breeder brand. Every pet that leaves their stores is pre-trained to be the perfect companion and while nobody ever says anything about romance, they sure do only sell pretty girls and they sure do talk a whole lot about how their pets are perfect for anyone feeling lonely and all the rest of it...

Ai is, at least on the surface, a happy-go-lucky, ditzy and affectionate pet absolutely overflowing with love for her owner. She's kind of a pathetic failwife in a way that is acceptably cute and moe for about two weeks and becomes increasingly pathetic and alarming the more you realize just how utterly lacking in a lot of basic common sense she is. But she's a designer pet so that's all by design, right?

The truth is that she's actually a stray abandoned by her first owner and snatched up by Strawberry Productions to tidy up and sell. She passes easily as a 'designer pet' but is terrified of anyone finding out the truth. Has a lot of her same canon hangups about her inability to sincerely love, her self-percieved 'dirtiness' as used goods, etc because I could replace every instance of 'idol' in the OnK script with 'pet' and upsettingly little would change!!!

only interested in playing Ai as a pet here! open to owner+pet and pet+pet scenarios. not interested in any scenarios that overtly feature abuse or mistreatment but featuring/referencing it as a background element is fine. character info, & shippy info and smutty info! ]

[ there are only two good things Makoto's family has ever done for him. the first was his father's agreement that if he was able to secure the grades needed to get himself into a prestigious university, he'd be allowed to move out into his own apartment while attending. the second was from his mother: a graduation gift. she'd said she was worried that he would be lonely, living by himself for the first time, and some company would be good for him.

he couldn't care less about whatever sentiments she uses to make herself feel like a proper parent, but she was right. he isn't lonely at all. ]

I'm home, Ai. [ she's there to greet him at the genkan, like she always is, waiting while he kicks the door shut behind him and slips his shoes off. even today, when he knows her heat is in full swing. he pets her hair and presses a kiss to the top of her head—and then, unexpectedly, walks past her. ] Sorry. I know you want to play, but I have to study first.

[ it's truly not a lie. he should study first. once he gets distracted with Ai, he knows it's going to be a long time before he can pull himself away. that's exactly why he's going to skip the next few days of lectures, and that's why he should do as much work as possible now, so that he doesn't fall too far behind.

but – it's kind of cute, too. making her wait a little while for him to lavish her with attention. if he weren't so confident in the fact that she's his, Makoto would never be able to stomach the thought. even now, he wants to spoil her. just a little, though. they can both wait just a little, right? ]

[ Ai expects nothing from the Aigowaka family when she's signed over to them. Not out of any sense of disdain or dislike for them, of course - they're just a family who have bought a product from Strawberry Productions, paid a great deal of money for the privilege of owning a designer pet, and that's it. It's just a matter of practicality. If she expects nothing, then she can't be let down. If she never takes the roof over her head and the food on her plate for granted, then she'll never forget that she has to earn it.

That's what she'd told herself, anyway. Before they'd actually taken her home.

Before she'd met Makoto. ]

Makoto, welcome home...! [ It's a little funny just how obvious her mood is - she's beaming, colour high in her cheeks and so fidgety that she can hardly keep herself still where she stands. ] I really missed you.

[ The excitement of his return and the hot desire in her belly has melded into something that makes her restless and eager, even more than she usually is. It bleeds into her voice, too, a slightly pathetic keening edge that she doesn't care to try and correct. Makoto already knows what sort of pet she is, needy and clingy and spoiled, and somehow he doesn't seem to mind - if anything, it almost seems like he likes her more that way. So she doesn't bother to hold back.

Her voice burbles out in a pleased little purr at his touch. In fact, she rises up into it, lifting up on her toes to more readily meet his hand. She's been so, so patiently waiting for him to get home all day, even though her whole body's achy and hot and impatient, but now that he's here, now that he's done, he'll finally - ]

Ah - ? [ Where is he going? No, even more importantly, why is he going? That brief taste of his touch, brief and sweet and just barely enough to whet her appetite, is the worst kind of tease and she lets out a dismayed little whine. She follows, barely a step behind him. ] Why now? You can study later, can't you? I waited for you all day all by myself...

[ He isn't really that mean, is he? ]

[ ah, he really isn't built for this kind of sadism... he can make her feel good until she cries and begs, but hearing that upset keen from her just has him wanting to throw everything else aside. it's funny; Mother would never have given him Ai if she had known it would distract him from being the perfect son he's supposed to be. ]

I know, I know. [ once he's pulled out the books he needs, his bag is carelessly tossed aside somewhere, along with his jacket. it took a while to break the habits of tidiness and perfectionism drilled into him, but now, the apartment would be a chaotic mess if it weren't for Ai. ] You've been really patient, huh? My good girl.

[ she really is. when he first took her home, she was so timid, so afraid of letting him get too close, even while she went through all the motions of being a flawless, affectionate pet. it must have been painful and difficult for her to change, to come out of the shell that's protected her all this time and let him touch her. he knows it is; part of him is still caught in that same trap, chained to his family's demands. but it was Ai that made him change, too. someone that could actually need him. a love that's messy and impure and better than everything else in his sterile, pristine existence.

Makoto sinks down onto the couch, drops his notebooks on the coffee table, and holds out his arms for Ai. even if he's trying to get her to wait, he can't just ignore her. ]

But if I want to give you all my attention, I should get this out of the way.

[ he doesn't want to. she needs him. ]

[ Good girl makes something warm and eager to please unfurl in her chest as always - she usually loves hearing him say it, more than happy to do her best to be good for Makoto above everyone else. Right now, though, that eagerness just fuels the itchy, restless impatience that's been bubbling up in her body all day. She's been trained on how to take care of this herself, unobtrusively, quietly and without causing any fuss, like a good pet should, but Ai doesn't want to be a good girl right now. She wants to be bad and distract Makoto, demand his undivided attention until he gives in and indulges her.

She's not exactly subtle about it, either. There's an impatient little grumble thrumming in her throat as she trails after him, ears drooping and tail twitching fitfully. She's usually so much better at concealing her moods but today and with Makoto especially, it's little too easy to wear her heart on her sleeve. Maybe if he really sees just how frustrated she is, he won't keep her waiting any longer.

Determined as she is too performatively sulk, though, when Makoto holds his arms open for her, Ai practically trips over her own feet scrambling to get into them. It takes a considerable amount of her fraying self control to not outright straddle his hips, to make absolutely sure he can't look at his stupid homework - she settles instead for settling against him so close, they're practically belly to belly. Her hands curl tight around the front of his shirt as she buries her face in the crook of his neck with a discontented little huff. ]

You're so mean. [ It comes out a little muffled, her breath puffing against his skin. ] You made me wait all day even though you knew I was like this and now you're making me wait even longer even though you're right here and I'm...
