Stuck in this rut

[interjection]

THE IN HEAT/IN RUT AU MEME
not an alpha/beta/omega meme

There's no need for elaborate backstories for this AU. You go into heat, rut, whatever you'd like to call it. You've always done so since you were of age to do so. It's a socially accepted norm, and people have gotten used to the difficulties that come with the mating seasons. Life goes on.

Isn't this alpha/beta/omega, then? No, not at all. In this meme, there are no gender-variant genitalia unless your character comes prepackaged with those. No giant cocks - again, unless your character is already packing - or self-lubricating assholes or anal wombs, and no knotting. Unless that's your thing. There's also no set in stone roles with regards to dominance and submission, and some people do not even feel the inclination towards either. Still, there are a few similarities, mainly being that the pheromones of others can put someone into heat that was not in it before and the bond between mates. In addition, some humans/human-stand-ins have created packlike dynamics in response, but this is not universal.

In this meme, it's just regular old human...oids feeling the urge for sex. And by "urge," we of course mean all-consuming drive. If characters choose to ignore that urge, it will backfire on them. The more they put it off, the more they will lose their control, becoming more irritable and aggressive, and eventually be nothing but a rutting animal until the need to mate is satisfied. Not all heats call for mating, of course, and most people can just relieve themselves, but when you do mate, you feel the urge to stay by their side and essentially "nest." These desires don't always pan out into offspring, and mating isn't forever unless it's mutually decided upon. However, impregnating your mate is said to be one of the most euphoric experiences a person can have, even if some people only mate because they want to utterly possess someone, as mates are bonded for a while.

If there's anything that's to your fancy that's been left out, go ahead and add it in. Play it how you'd like!

HOW TO PLAY

• Comment with your character and preferences.


• Include what you're interested and not interested in.


• Respond to others!

PROMPTS

1. first heat: Baby's first heat. YOU'RE A TEENAGER/LATE BLOOMER AND WHAT IS THIS?


2. old hand: You've done this a million times, but it never gets any easier.


3. happen to be here: You're not picky. You can't afford to be. You'll take anybody who's nearby.


4. old faithful: You're going to the person you always go to in order to relieve your problem.


5. worked something out: The two of you aren't involved. You just help each other out.


6. unexpected: You never expected to rut with this person, but here you are.


7. forbidden: AKA the obligatory incest or age difference option.


8. volunteer: You've offered yourself up out of the kindness of your heart.


9. tribute: This isn't your offer. You're the offer from others, a gift for someone powerful to sate their appetite.


10. mating: You've decided to go one step further and make your relationship deeper.


11. nesting: Aaah, (temporary) domestic bliss. And lots of fucking. Lots and lots of fucking. Like, you'll barely be able to stand.


12. bonding: The bond, which is mildly psychic and intensely physical, makes sex even more intense.


13. the natural conclusion: Heat calls for pregnancy. Get someone pregnant.


14. already pregnant: Unfortunately, being knocked up doesn't abate your partner's desires. Or yours.


15. mates for life: Now you're absolutely certain that you want to be with no one else. Of course, this means you'll be in synch with their heat for the rest of forever.


16. save you: You've been saved from the advances of an undesired mate by someone who may be much more suited. Show your gratitude?


17. cockfight: Two people want the same mate. That won't do. There are ways to figure that out, not always involving fists.


18. increase in dominance: Exactly what it says.


19. increase in submission: Again, exactly what it says.


20. unexpected dominance: No one expects you to ever be dominant. Prove them wrong.


21. protect: You want to protect your mate from others, and that means putting your scent all over them.


22. set off by someone else: You were doing fine until you got a whiff of someone else's pheromones.


23. resisting temptation: Your heart belongs to someone. You want to stay out of this "heat" thing. You want to rise above it. Whatever it may be, you just have to not take the bait. Easier said than done.


24. all worked up: You're beginning to lose control and yourself. Quick, do something before you're jumping anything that moves.


25. pack: As mentioned prior, some people, especially those far out from civilization proper, have formed packs that hold to the more traditional alpha structure. Of course, these packs come with their own rules when it comes to heat and mating.


26. suitable partner: The desire for certain mates can come from a subconscious level, and you can find yourself aroused by someone showing how strong they are (they can protect you), how curvaceous they look (that must mean they're fertile), or any other number of traits that can benefit you.


27. desperation: You'll take anyone! Anything!


28. final release: You've reached your breaking point and your mindless. At least you'll get relief.


29. fighter: Part of your process is seeing who's worthy of you by testing their mettle. That, or you want to fight anything.


30. off your meds: It's fairly rare, but some can get blockers for their heat. What if those blockers run out? Why, it makes your heat ten times worse!


31. noncon: They don't want this. You don't want to stop this.


32. dubcon: You say no, but your body says yes and you can't stop loving it.


33. calm you down: Whether it's to fuck or to fight, you're going mad, and they have to bring you back down to Earth.


34. territorial: How dare someone look at what belongs to you? You'll have to make things right.


35. odd man out: For some reason, you don't go into heat. Never have. Being with you is pretty relaxing, and some find it appealing to not have to deal with pheromones that aren't theirs. You do have to learn how to appreciate their problems, though.

[assholic]

[No for 13, 14, 31, 32. Cast/crosscanon good, prefs in permissions. Open to mixing in A/B/O as well. Will be Alpha. A/A and A/O scenarios welcome. Happy to AU her into scenarios or fit things into Marvel NY. I'm also very open to combining this with werewolf AUs or a monster mash scenario. Anything else? PM or comment.]

von lycaon | zenless zone zero

[moonhunter]

( well, he gets ruts naturally so! let's plot something out before jumping into anything 👍🏽 )

Usa Tsukino || Sailor Moon AU || OTA, Futa/F preferred

(ooc: Favorites include: 1, 3, 6, 7, 13, 16, 19, 24, 31^*, 32, 35. Info & Kinks. ^*Run any non-con ideas by me first before starting.)

rudbeckia de borgia • htwmho ( ota )

[appeale]

( character info • permissions • shipping & smut prefs

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. always happy to AU into other canons and generic scenarios.

favourites: 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 18/19, 21, 24, 27, 30, 32, 33, 34
not interested: just 14! )

Sophie Hallow *Original* F/M Preferred but OTA

[sugarandwhiskey]

[I’m up for all plots except for 31. I’m also down for these in a a/b/o setting, just know that soph would be the ‘o’ in the situation. Also willing to put these in a werewolf au/pack setting.

sylvain / fire emblem: three houses

[horsing]

( down for all! most likely alpha but down to mix it up. )

[bloodyblade]

[ i need to tag u but... ]

Zevlor | Baldur's Gate | ota

[hellrider]

[Not really into pregnancy at this time, although 'breeding' as dirty talk is fine. Also no thank you to non-con, and no to dub-con outside of both parties getting caught up in the moment. Knotting and a/b/o dynamics are fine and dandy, but not required.

Tend to think of Zevlor as the Alpha/toppy sort, but I'm new to playing him and I'm willing to negotiate if you want yours to top him.]

[allillusion]

[ If you're up for a mischievous tiefling, I'd love to throw Arco at Zevlor! He's a switch but would 100% be down to do whatever Zev feels like/his instincts push him to do. Lmk what you think, I'm easy! c: ]

Tessa | Tales of Legendia OC | OTA

[merinesexual]

[Hard no to A/B/O dynamics.]

thistle \ dungeon meshi

[cardueae]

Donatello - Rise of the TMNT - OTA

[soft_shelled]

[No 17, 29 or 31 and hard no to incest at all.]

[aprillllloneil]

Do you have a eye problem or what? Because I can give you one.

[Yeah, she came down here on her own accord usually or either with the boys or usually Donnie for the most part. To which he told her to stay put after she called him while looking for something in particular, since she didn't need to be by herself.
Not like she thought much about it being a human and sticking out. Usually getting some lingering look or otherwise.

This one particular big, lizard looking yokai shop owner been eyeing her while looking her over while she was browsing.]

You're a feisty one for your size ain't ya? Nah, just don't see any human's down here especially females.'

Well, congrats you figured it out. What don't want me here or something?

Hah, not that at all. Just thought you're pretty cute for a human.
So, you can stay around long as you want. I don't mind the nice change in scenery.'
[Ah, this again. She thought it might have been a fluke here and there, but some of the yokai down here have some weird interest in humans. Which only worked out in her favor in getting discounts for some stuff.]

[ ota hoyoverses, perfectly fine with a/b/o dynamics or funky genitalia, whatever floats your boat. ]

[madamgeneral]

[ It is the height of unprofessional conduct to turn up at a colleague's door in her present state, although someone who lacks a Foxian's sense of smell might not realize just how bad it is. Even so, Jing Yuan has eyes under that fluffy fringe of his, so it should be obvious to him that she's in extreme discomfort and distress even if he can't pinpoint her condition.

It's been years, centuries since Feixiao has gone into heat like this, untempered by the medications that her retainer typically concocts for her. As it stands now, she feels like she's been hit by a starskiff, all aches and shivers, her skin clammy, her eyes dark.

In spite of all that, she manages to keep her voice even when he answers his door. ]

General. Forgive the intrusion, especially at this hour, but I... require assistance. Please.

[jujutsugoroshi]

only my silliest jinx tags for you

[gunpowderblue]

Perhaps Toji wasn't aware that this part of the city is prone to dropbears. There aren't signs posted, after all. No warning signs or caution tape to alert travelers that they've wandered into hazardous regions.

Though it is true that the dropbears aren't a danger to just anyone. They only pose a threat to very particular prey, and even then, 'threat' is open to interpretation. But Toji has been marked as dropbear prey on this particular occasion, for the simple fact that he's interesting (and handsome) enough.

This particular feral dropbear attacks from above, like a cannonball, arms and legs splayed to entangle its prey, blue braids flying. As it seizes upon its objective, it sinks its teeth into Toji's shoulder with a possessive little growl--not to draw blood, but simply to leave a few nice bruises for later.
