Tolkien really could've cooked with more cross-species romances

[funandcutememes]

Interspecies Love Meme

Vampires and humans. Angels and demons. Ghosts and the living. The idea of "opposites attracting" is hardly a new one, but with the rise in popularity of supernatural creatures, aliens, and other sentient beings beyond our human understanding, the forbidden romance trope has been injected a shot of fresh blood- sometimes quite literally.

This meme does just that, taking the whole "not meant for each other" thing to it's most logical extreme. Of course, it's not always angst and depression. These days, mermaids and bird-people can have their relationships in peace to some degree.

Rules

• Comment with your character, putting any preferences you have (ie, "humanoid characters only," F/M, etc). Also, be sure to note your character's "species" for others to reference (Name | Character | OTA | Human, ghost, mutant, alien, vampire, god, zombie-catgirl hybrid, etc).
• Reply to others. If your characters aren't different species, feel free to AU or anything else like that.
• Use the rng to determine your prompt.
• Also I didn't think I needed to say this, but be excellent to each other. Dick comments and anon bullying are not on.

Prompts

1. Meeting: Did you know there were, I don't know, werewolves before this? Or maybe you thought all aliens were evil. Will this...thing change your perception?
2. Falling in Love: You know you're not the same, but your feelings don't care.
3. Self-Hate: Perhaps you're mad at the being you're in love with, yet you're more angry at yourself.
4. Can't Be Together: Whether for self-inflicted reasons or societal rules, you can't be in love with who your heart has chosen and it's putting a strain on you.
5. Pushing You Away: Things are getting too intense, and for both of your sake, you want to make friend/crush/lover hate you.
6. Beauty & the Beast: One of you is beautiful, the other hideous. Maybe, though, the beautiful one is ugly in the eyes of society, depending on where you live. Whatever the case is, you don't look the same.
7. Confession: Screw the rules, you're going to tell that sweet girl/guy/other how you feel! What can go wrong? Or this is something you've put a lot of thought into and you're scared, but you're going to do it.
8. First Time...or Not: Finally, the two of you are taking the next step and getting physical. It may go off without a hitch, depending on your...you know, or- OH GOD, HOW IS THAT GOING TO GO IN HERE. Wait, you have a...?
9. The Kinky Option: Hey, maybe being different will pay off. Think about it. A long tongue? Ghost powers? Sounds like it could be fun in the bedroom.
10. Prejudice: "What are you doing with that dirty monster?" "You know we can't be involved with humans!" "We don't take kindly to your type around here." Why can't people just leave you two be?
11. Facing Your Instinct: It's hard to be with someone when you want to suck their blood. Or eat their brains. Or possess them.
12. Because of Me: Your lover has been dragged into your fight or hurt by others of your kind. Now they're in the crossfire.
13. Standing Up For You: Hey, knock it off! I don't care what you think, he's perfect in my eyes.
14. You Don't Know You're Beautiful: The fluffy option where you're trying to make your loved one see just how much you care and how they're beautiful to you, no matter what.
15. Gifts: Show your affection with a gift from your culture.
16. Starting a Family: Can you even reproduce? Is it something you want to consider? Perhaps it's new ground to tread, so you'll have to be the first to think about it.
17. WILDCARD

[madmewmew]

[I'm pretty cool with any of the prompts, none are really calling out to me atm.]

Tessa | Tales of Legendia OC | OTA

Asterios | Fate/Grand Order | OTA

[monsterofminos]

[He's the Minotaur. Doesn't trust easily at first.]

[trifurce]

[ would you up for doing anything with link here? he's hylian (basically human), but he sometimes turns into a wolf. i'm canon familiar with f/go, so i can swing anything. ]

[monsterofminos]

[Sure! I never read the manga but I played TP aaggess ago. =3 I can easily see Asterios being a form of Moblin or an Iron Knuckle of some kind so I'm cool to roll with that! Any prompts in particular that you're leaning towards?]

[trifurce]

[ it's more or less the same plot aside from giving link a more defined personality. post-game link goes a-wandering like protags tend to do, so him encountering a friendly monster isn't out of the question. i'm leaning towards the more positive prompts myself unless you want to give asterios more pain—so 2, 7, 8/9, some variation on 13, 14, 15? do any of those sound like fun to you? ]

[monsterofminos]

[I'm totally up for positive fluffy prompts with Asterios being a friendly-ish monster! Only thing is it'll take some work before Asterios is comfortable with going the smut route, if that's alright with you.]

[trifurce]

[ that's perfectly fine! i think i was hoping more for gen tbh. i have some things i need to take care of today, but i'll whip up a starter either tonight or tomorrow and we can see where things go? ]

[monsterofminos]

[Works for me! Take your time on the starter if you need to. I'm always up for backtagging. <3]

Mamiya Takuji | Tsui no Sora Remake | M/F

[otakujesus]

[The human! Would be super interested in him being the object of interest or obsession by the non-human party. He'd have no idea how to handle it despite yearning for an actual friend and connection. Open to discussion for other ideas.

In canon, Takuji is spiritually attuned to the supernatural and he ends up making a contract with a cthulhu demon which can be played with for prompts. Need someone to manipulate into destroying the world when he thinks he's "saving" it? Or need a troubled weirdo to help you adjust to the human world? He's your boy.]

[kuukokujinjanozenko]

[OK so I know it's kind of on a technicality here, but any interest in another thread set sometime after their other one? I don't wanna overburden by adding too many threads, so no worries if not, but if you're down for doublethreading them, I'm open to whatever prompts grab you. I can see a few possibilities, e.g. if their current thread ends up being more of a "he gets close and maybe even shippy with Hiroe" thing, and the thing of confession she's also Zenko could shift to a 5+7 thread here. Whatever you're feeling like, LMK and we can make a plan!]
