Master/Familiar Love Meme

[seethers]

The Master/Familiar Love Meme "In European folklore and folk-belief of the Medieval and Early Modern periods, familiar spirits (sometimes referred to simply as 'familiars') were supernatural entities believed to assist witches and cunning folk in their practice of magic. According to the records of the time, they would appear in numerous guises, often as an animal, but also at times as a human or humanoid figure, and were described as 'clearly defined, three-dimensional… forms, vivid with colour and animated with movement and sound' by those alleging to have come into contact with them, unlike later descriptions of ghosts with their 'smoky, undefined form[s]'." Everybody needs a sidekick. This includes those who may have a little help of their own in the form of magic - witches, warlocks, mages, sages, casters, magicians...whatever you want to call them, they have a bit more juice than your average Joe. Luckily, the job comes with a built-in assistant: a familiar, or a helper spirit. The familiar serves as a guide to their magical "Master" of their choice, helping them out of tight spots and being their companion for life. Sometimes, they come in the form of animals, like dogs and especially cats. Some don't bother with this, though, and just stay in their true humanoid forms. The bond between familiar and master is one of intensity, and they know each other completely. Most familiars even have a telepathic link to their masters. That helps them keep an eye on them. Of course, given this closeness-beyond-closeness, it's easy to imagine a master and familiar as soulmates, and with familiars having a human form...well, intimacy seems like a natural option. Too bad relationships of that kind between master and familiar are strictly forbidden. Surely, that rule is always followed. HOW TO PLAY Comment with your character, stating your preferences (ex: F/M, open to all, etc). Also, be sure to remember and put whether your character will be witch/master, familiar, or if they can serve as both. There is no "set" type for any of the roles. Masters don't have to be dominate (ineffectual witches have always been a cute trope), familiars aren't passive or submissive, and so on. It's not the same as BDSM...though your character could bring that into it if they'd like. Comment around to other characters, playing out your forbidden master/familiar ~love~ or what have you. PROMPTS The Familiar Chooses the Master: The first meeting. You may be new to the craft (or someone who needs a new familiar), and someone has been drawn to you. Setting the Ground Rules: You need to figure out how this is going to work. Where can you hide this woman/man in your apartment, if need be? Getting to Know You: Magic/power isn't all fun and games. You need to find out how to work together so you don't accidentally blow everything up in your faces. Helping Out: Familiars have a lot of neat powers that can be a boon around the house...and around the town. Danger Zone: Your feelings for each other are blurring, which is a big no-no. Do you even realize that the bond is deepening to a new level? Confession: Things have gotten heavy and you have to let your bond mate know you see them as more. Bad Romance: The familiar in this relationship isn't treated as equal. They're a slave to their master! Telepathy: The mental bond between. Explore it or use it to get out of trouble... Trouble is a Friend of Mine: Speaking of! Your familiar/master is danger, and there's nothing that can keep you from saving them. Intimacy: The obligatory smut option. Though romance between familiar and master is not allowed, many find the allure too much, and the bond does lend itself to members seeking comfort in each other. After all, they know you better than anyone else. You're Taken?: You're in love with a master or a familiar...they're just not yours. Oops! Maybe you can find some way to break your bonds so you can be together. Breaking Up is Hard to Do: It is hard, especially between master and familiar. In fact, it can be downright painful...physically and mentally! Sending You Away for Your Own Good: You're distancing yourself from the other member of your bond, and it's because you're headed towards destruction. Everybody Knows: The other members of your community have found out you've broken the ultimate taboo and are WITH your master/familiar. This is bad. This is very, very bad. Punishment bad. Separation bad. Perhaps even death bad. Happy Ending: Somehow, you've escaped the confines of the world that doesn't understand, and you're able to live together without fear. WILDCARD

Bruce Banner l MCU l ota

[wearebothangry]

[Either role]

4 + 8

[machine_heart]

[Since he's got nothing else to do, he might as well be helpful. Also, he might be going stir-crazy. Birds, including ravens, are not inside animals. So he's picking things up in his beak, fluttering to the opposite side of the room, and putting them where he thinks they ought to go. Even if it's not where Bruce would put them. Possibly even if Bruce is still using that thing.]

[He finally flaps over and starts picking things out of Bruce's hair. Some of those things may or may not be actual hair. Pay attention to him. Open the window or let him help with whatever spell you're working on. He's not inexperienced with magic, he could figure it out.]

[Are you sure you wanted this mental link? Because his restlessness is vibrating through it, manic and completely uncontrolled. There's the feeling that it's jumping over dozens, hundreds of things, discarding them half-finished before moving on, but the actual thoughts are hazy unless he sends them specifically. It's probably fortunate, for both their sanities, that Tony's constant internal monologue doesn't make it through telepathy.]

Sam Winchester l Supernatural l ota

[notarambler]

[either role]

Seriously RNG picked 10 it is not my doing <<

[awolangel]

Sam had unbelievably soft hair. Gabriel wasn't sure if there was some sort of spell that made it that way, or if it was naturally just bouncy, like it was right out of a shampoo commercial.

Either way, Gabriel just liked to run his fingers through it, stroke gently and feel Sam relax. Okay, it was a little bit too touchy-feely for sticklers to the rules, but Gabriel had never much cared for rules or sticklers as it was.

Malcolm Meryln l Arrow l ota

Gabriel | Supernatural

[lotsoflaughs]

((Familiar.))

9 because of course Sam can't stay out of trouble.

[nothisvessel]

With the way things had been with Dean? Well, Sam was at his wits end. He'd barely been sleeping, too focused on trying to find a way to get the Mark off his brother. Of course, he knew that Gabriel could feel it and probably knew what had happened at the Men of Letters chapter house. When they'd opened the box that Magnus Bane had invented. He couldn't believe he'd been tricked by the spell, but that is what it was supposed to do, right? Work on you until you killed yourself.

Now though, the brothers were out on a random hunt. Something simple that they'd done a million times before. It was just a vengeful spirit. A haunting and they even knew where the bones were buried inside the old house. Somehow though, they brothers ended up getting separated. The damn house had hidden passages and secret trap doors apparently and so that was how it had happened.

"Dean!" Sam yelled out as he spun, hearing something behind him. He didn't see the ghost coming at him, didn't feel it as it wielded a knife the size of his damn forearm straight for the middle of his back.

Dean Winchester | Supernatural

PETRE ( oc )

[broil]

[familiar.]

1 :> now that I'm not buried in game threads...

[mediumatlarge]

[This wasn't supposed to work.

He's not all that magically gifted, really, and what talent he does have only relates to death and the dead. The rest has always eluded him, unable to do so much as produce the tiniest spark or levitate something even half an inch-- it seems to be a trade-off for that extra sense he's always had, and the way he can speak effortlessly with the dead. (If he tried it, he's sure he'd find necromancy came easily, but he's never taken that step.)

So of course it made sense that he wouldn't be able to do this, that any attempt he made would go unanswered-- but it appears that even someone who's so heavily restricted in their ability can manage to try to call a familiar to them. Ryan's left staring at him, wide-eyed and struck silent for a few long seconds.]

It-- it worked? I thought-- [Abruptly, a bright smile blooms on his face. He thought he couldn't do anything else, but this proves otherwise, right? Maybe he was just missing something. Someone.]

...hi. D'you have a name?

nathaniel romanoff | mcu (rule 63)

[tantsor]

[ either ]

diaval / maleficent

[thewings]

[ well. ]

Karen Page | Daredevil | Female for Male and OTA for Gen

[investigador]

[Familiar, please. OOC would love cross canon shenanigans, or even other Marvel muses? Cast-mates are awesome as well. ]

Alleyne - the Headless Horseman ♞ OC ♞ Prefer F/M

[ridesheadless]

[pielemental]

((Dean apologizes and would like to not have his ass kicked.))

As soon as Alleyne shows up, Dean realizes that he fucked up although not how badly. He thought the spell was supposed to be a spell for something entirely different. This is what he gets for translating things wrong and not running it by Sam first. "What did I just do?"

Saber | Fate/Zero | M/F for shippy stuff

[iuramentum]

[ 110% the familiar! Castmates get extra love.
Opting out for smut, though. Fluff is already pretty unlikely. 8'|]

Lavi | D.Gray-Man

[agent_asterisk]

[If you're interested, Astrid is used to assisting/managing surly scientists, so it wouldn't be much of a stretch for her to go either way. Or both, from one situation to another. Incidentally, I rolled a 15.]

Chelsea "Chess" Nox {The Cheshire Cat || OUAT OC} F/M

[thegrinprecedes]

{Open to either, but she'd likely be the familiar}
