The Spring Awakening-Themed Shipping/Smut Meme

Your days of childhood are over; you can feel it in your very core. Just like the change of the seasons, it's time for you to become an adult - it's your spring awakening, where urges and desires in both body and mind are new. Just a few years ago, you never felt like this, especially not towards your friends and others around you. Unfortunately, the land and time you live in allows no exploration of these burgeoning new feelings. It's the 19th century, known for its overall puritanical repression, and it's all you've known. The adults in your life have taken these views to heart, and they're no use in this tumultuous period of youth. If they knew what you were thinking about, what you were feeling...you'd be done for! So, what can you do? Will you be curious about your newfound needs or ignore them and treat them with disdain just like the elders? Surely, no matter how much you want to know what all this means, you can't indulge! If you do, however, at least it's a fleeting sin. This will not stain your soul or ruin your life forever. Of course, do you really know the consequences? HOW TO PLAY This meme is based on the musical Spring Awakening, which is itself based on a German play from the turn of the century. However, you don't have to know the canon at all. The tl;dr version is old timey kids dealing with modern problems like lust and love and coming into their own. Comment with your character and preferences. You might also want to include what your character would be like in this world. Feel free to age them down, AU, whatever you'd like! The musical this is based off has triggering material such as underage sexuality, abuse, and all manner of other not so nice things. Tread lightly. All prompts are based off of song titles and themes. Reply to others! Be respectful. PROMPTS Mama Who Bore Me: No one is telling you the basics, no matter how much you ask. Where do humans come from? Why do you feel this way when you think about that question? All That's Known: Unlike your peers, you're educated in the matters of s.e.x. Perhaps you should impart some of that knowledge. The Bitch of Living: Get your fantasies off of your chest. My Junk: There has to be someone out there who's caught your eye. Do you picture marriage...or something less dignified? Touch Me: Sometimes, it's best to explore your own body and hope no one is the wiser. The Word of Your Body: You're so close to someone, but you can't allow yourself to be swayed by carnality. The Dark I Know Well: There's secrets in your home that you don't want others to know. Would the one you care for look at you as if you're damaged? The Word of Your Body (Reprise 1): You don't just have desires, you have desires for those of your same gender. Unheard of! The Mirror-Blue Night: You both want to return to childhood, but you cannot. Not anymore. I Believe: Your curiosity and want cannot be quenched anymore. With someone - maybe someone you love, maybe not - you give into temptation. The Guilty Ones: Oh, what have you done? No matter how good the time together felt, you're cursed. Finished. Destroyed. Blue Wind: Someone invites you into their loving embrace, someone you've known for years. Do you take the invitation, no matter how bad occurrences are in your life at the moment? Totally Fucked: Your licentious exploits have been discovered by the adults, and you're to be punished. Do you protect yourself or your lover? Whispering: You have to deal with the consequences of one night with someone else. Those You've Known: Young passions can lead to deadly ends, yet you can only continue with what's left.
