I am an appetite

[shyestfairy]

MONSTER'S BRIDE There's a long precedent in folklore and myth of beautiful young people - both men and women - being kidnapped by monsters: dragons, beasts, goblins, demons, elves, vampires, wolves, or even evil humans. In the end, however, these prisoners are almost always rescued and brought back to civilization to live a normal and happy life. But what if they didn't want to leave their jailor? They've seen behind the surface and have begun to sympathize with this "monster;" no, more than that, they've fallen for them. Will this story have a happy ending? Will the monster believe that anyone could love them? Most importantly, though, can the two of them be left alone without any attempts at a "rescue?" how to play Comment with your character, your preference, and what role they'll play. Feel free to AU characters to your desired role. Reply to others. Thread anything that could remotely fit under the umbrella theme. Was the kidnapping just that, or did both parties know (and care) for each other before, making it a collaborative, mutual effort? Perhaps you'd prefer to play the actual Beauty and The Beast-style getting to know each other or seeing behind the grizzly facade. What about an attempted "rescue?" Or maybe you could thread out a scene where the prisoner runs away from the society they were forced back into and returns to their beloved beast! It's all up to you. You could even do smut if you wanted to, but this isn't a smut meme.

Dorian Storm | Critical Role C3 | OTA

[makingmyway]

(( Would love to play him as the bride ))

Elizabeth Harlander | Frankenstein (2025)

[soughtandlonged]

rumi || kpop demon hunters || ota

[hun_trix]

(ooc; either role.)

The Creature | Del Toro's Frankenstein | OTA20+

[mercilesslife]

[Left by your town as tribute? Or more Bridgerton-esque, as a union between the house of Frankenstein and that of yours? Or something else entirely, open to whatever!]

osamu dazai / bungo stray dogs / ota

[inhumanics]

[ Probably the spouse, but I don't mind playing like kitsune Dazai or eldritch thing Dazai. Info in journal. ]

Aether | Genshin Impact | ota

[startraveler]

[Either role!]

nier (granblue fantasy) — ota

[nierdeath]

( most certainly the monster, alongside her beloved death. you promised that you’d be together forever, and she took that very, very seriously. :) )

francesca bridgerton | bridgerton | ota

[conbrio]

[ the bride ]

[nostradamnit]

[Alright, let's mess with historical timelines. Are you interested in, like, being arranged a marriage with the reclusive court doctor who is said to see visions of the future? If so, I can wring out a starter.]

[conbrio]

[ i would love that! ]

[nostradamnit]

[A meeting has been arranged, properly chaperoned by one of Francesca's brothers, between her and Michel de Nostradame. A dark-eyed man with a serious face, he's arrived at the Bridgerton house in dark clothing. There isn't a bouquet in his hands, but a small box. He seems uncertain of himself, his posture hunched as if he's trying to hide, or perhaps apologize for, his height.

He's welcomed inside, directed to the parlor, where Francesca is waiting.]

heathcliff - limbus company (spoilers present for canto 6)

[hindleysabitch]

(Definitely the monster in all his forms. Could be extra monstrous as Wild Hunt/Erlking Heathcliff.)

genya safin | shadow & bone | ota

[eyarazrushost]

[ the monster would be fun. ]

Devi D | I Feel Sick/Johnny the Homicidal Maniac

[artistwithasickness]

[Definitely the Bride, bonus points if you want a CRAU Devi with DragonBall Ki powers and a propensity for testing Big Power limits.]

Zoey | Left 4 Dead | OTA

[genresurvivor]

[ likely the bride! ]

Matthew DiVigny | Vampire the Masquerade OC

[dirtyandtrue]

[Matthew is undoubtably the monster - 500 year old Brujah vampire with a penchant for drugs and sex, and without much proper sense around leaving bodies in his wake.]

[sibylservice]

[Proposal for a skew on the meme: Phaedra's a very young and pretty naive Kindred (Vampire: the Requiem, but I can adjust pretty easy to playing her as a Malk or thinblood if need be) whose sire was killed by hunters. Perhaps she's being put under Matthew's accounting, because she's still in need of an adultier adult?]

[dirtyandtrue]

[I say play her as is, we make the rules! We can 100% work with that - Let me kick us off a starter and just let me know if you'd like anything adjusted! (Also, I'm kicking off a little dust and rust, so please forgive any terminology oversights I might make.)

As I work on this, do you have a preference on what the thread is around? First meetings or her just settling in? Or her (and Matthew) getting the news that she'll be under his purview?]

Aerith Gainsborough | FF7 Remake / Rebirth | OTA

[inemeraldfaith]

[Aerith is definitely more the bride sort. I love cross-canon. Assumed CR is fine. If you want to roll with something like arranged pairings / marriage / whatever, I'm super into that. Big fan of AU scenarios (things that didn't happen, but could have happened, and so on). Also open to canon, cross-series, and so on. If you'd like a starter, let's discuss; I'm happy to do this!]

fushiguro megumi / jujutsu kaisen / ota

[shadowier]

dabi / my hero academia / ota

[skinstitch]

( open to either role, and open to any kind of AU. some ideas: fantasy AU based off the fantasy AU in canon, a frankenstein-esque AU where dabi is a stitched-together creature, any kind of magic or dark magic kind of fantasy, a beauty & the beast type scenario, etc. open to m/m or m/f, canonmates or crosscanon, fine with smut. throw me a starter and i will follow your lead. )

yoshiki | the summer hikaru died | ota

[fullframe]

( would prefer to play him as the 'bride'. i'm open to any kind of AU, or twisting his canon to fit this kind of scenario (with a hikaru or with someone else!). m/m only for shipping, canonmates or crosscanon both okay. )

diluc | genshin impact | ota

[falke]

( most likely the monster, but i'm open to either role. if you have an idea for an AU, throw it at me! if you want to write together but don't have an idea, i can try to offer some ideas based on your character. ota for shipping, smut okay, crosscanon okay. )

clive rosfield / final fantasy xvi / ota

[withstander]

( most likely the monster, but i'm open to either role. would love some final fantasy 'crosscanon', but ota to canonmates and crosscanon alike! also fine with shipping him with joshua. )

toga himiko | my hero academia | ota

[bloodspots]

( open to either role, but would honestly love to play her as the equally 'monstrous' bride, haha. open to any kind of AU, and happy to brainstorm some ideas together if you can't come up with anything. ota for shipping, smut okay, crosscanon & canonmates okay, age gap okay. )
