THE FAMILY MEME

The FAMILY Meme



Well if you weren't related before, you are now.

How does it work? Simple! Choose a relationship (or roll for one, if it suits your fancy), and then RNG for a situation! That, or just go straight for whatever situation appeals to you. These are all fairly vague: just something to start you off!  Parent-Child      1. Rock-a-Bye How do you get a fussy child to sleep? Read them a story, sing them a lullaby, or just let them stay up until they exhaust themselves? Whatever the choice, it is time for bed.       2. For The First Time You've never met this person in your life, but it turns out they're one of the two reasons you exist. Maybe they walked out when you were young. Maybe they never knew you were born. Whatever the reason, it is now time to meet them.       3. Past Midnight That curfew was set for a reason. Now it's two AM, and your kid is just now dragging in. Maybe they're drunk. Or got into a fight. Or just had way too much fun snogging their new love interest. It's time for them to face the music.       4. New Home It's the first day of your new life together, as parent and child. Whether it's through adoption, a basket on the front steps, or a wish come true, both of you are going to have to learn to take your steps together.       5. Holiday It could be Christmas, Easter, or just a birthday, but it is time to celebrate! Get together for some good old-fashioned family fun.       6.Take To Work Day What your parents do for a living is the quickest thing that can turn a kid from boring to the coolest on the block. So whatever the job, from accountant to zookeeper, go to work!      7. You're Not My Real Dad Being a step-parent (or step-child, for that matter) can be tough. Problem is, you're stuck with each other. So whether you're yelling or just having an awkward conversation, it is time to work things out.       8. Unexpected Guardian So you're not the parenting type. Too bad. Situation calls for someone to step up to the plate and look out for this kid, and you're the only one near base. Have fun with that.  Siblings      1. Protective Big Sibling Okay, look. No one gets to mess with your sibling but you. Your little brother or sister is in trouble; let them know you're going to be the one to take care of it.       2. Ruining The Night So your sibling has a hot date. You know what that calls for? Making their lives a living hell.       3. Newcomer Who is this new kid in your house? Your family has adopted, and now you have to call this stranger family. Welcome them into the house, or let them know how much they aren't wanted.       4. Blood Brothers So maybe you aren't really related to this person. That doesn't matter. You're going to change that, right now. In this moment, you will become family. Nothing can break this bond.       5. Middle of the Night It's the middle of the night. Your car is broken down, or you're drunk, or you need bailed out, or you just got beat up, or someone just broke up with you. Whatever just happened, it's time to call your sibling and hope they can bail you out.       6. Sibling Rivalry Nobody understands what jerks siblings can be! Always in your stuff, messing up your relationships, getting in your way -- it's time for an all out brawl, whether that means yelling, pranking, or fists flying.       7. Long-Lost Maybe you've heard of this person. Or maybe they are entirely new to you. However, you've gotten the information that you're more than strangers: you're family. Welcome to each other's lives.       8. All Alone Once your family was whole. Or maybe it never truly was. Whatever the case, the world is a big, dangerous place, and you've only got one person left to rely on: your sibling.  Uncle/Aunt-Niece/Nephew      1. Sent Away There's something bad going on at home, and you've been sent away to "safety." Problem is, how safe is this relative really? Are they the kooky, cool kind of Aunt, or are they a crazed Uncle after your fortune? Time to find out.       2. Taking You In Something's happened to your niece/nephew's parents, and it's time to step up and do your family duty. They've got nowhere else to go, after all.       3. The One We Don't Talk About So maybe the family is a little bit...ashamed of you. You're a bit mad, or you've done something they just don't like. Yet you want to be part of your niece/nephew's life, and whatever their parents say, you'll find a way.       4. Grand Adventure Maybe you came out of nowhere, or maybe you've just been keeping secrets. But you aren't an ordinary aunt/uncle, and it's time to take your niece or nephew on a very wild ride.       5. Like A Parent To Me Sure, you have parents, but this person is who your parents should be like -- or maybe who you feel should be your parent in the first place. Let them know how you feel about them.       6. Don't Tell Mom Aunts and Uncles have special qualities. Like, sometimes, being a bit more lenient than Mom and Dad might be. So you have a, er, sensitive problem? It's time to run to them.  In A Relationship      1. New Baby On The Way The panicking is already over, but there are still preparations to be made. Maybe you need to set up the nursery, or you've got the best idea for your soon-to-be child's name.       2. Romeo & Juliet You love this person. Perhaps more than life itself. But it is time to break the bad news: your family will never approve.       3. I Think I Might Be Pregnant Somehow, you are pregnant. And you think you know who the father is...time to break the news.       4. While You Were Away You've been gone years, only to come back and find your beloved has a child...with your eyes.  Other      Of course, you are free to make up your own scenario, or do a relationship not done here!  *Image from Francisco Palm

So... hi, I guess?

[Hardly the way she would have wanted to meet one of her new family members, Twyla halts in her exploration of her new 'home' with her head sticking out of the back of his closet, blinking at the brunette in front of her before giving a sheepish sort of smile.]

I uh... I didn't think anyone was back...yet...

Mama Loki, come deal with this child.

[ Being on the run sucked.

Not quite as much as being experimented on by crazy people on top of being in prison (really, insult to injury much?), but still, major suckage. Tommy thought he had gotten far enough away that no one would be looking for him here, but at the same time, even he had to slow down eventually. That meant finding a place to crash. It was not like he could just break in somewhere and sleep for a few hours without being noticed.

Which was why he was on this park bench. Homeless people did it, right? (Shit, he was homeless now, wasn't he? There were things about this plan he did not think through.) Of course, most homeless people seemed to have more than scrubs and soft shoes on, but there was not much Tommy could do about that right now. Maybe he should run steal some clothes. That would require going by cameras, though, and he knew how closely the people he was running from watched.

No, he'd just stay here on this park bench and try to catch some shut-eye, at least. They wouldn't look for him here.

He hoped. ]

Twyla | Monster High

siblings, 2.

[fearlead]

[It took her a full twenty minutes for the idea that Twyla was going out on a date to settle in. First she was excited. Excited her sister was going on a date. Then the irrational jealousy because she couldn't go out with her boyfriend. Of all the nights Deuce had to be busy (casketball practice, so he says), it was this night.

Leaning against the door, Cleo files her nails idly, minding her own business before she glances up, as if on cue.]

Oh my Ra, are you really using that lip gloss with that outfit?

parent-child vi

[facient]

Something happened down in the barracks. Something big, bad, and in need of his immediate attention with the way he barged into Lord Vader's office and ushered the young princess inside. Artoo had trailed after the old clone when he left, leaving Leia alone in the seemingly empty office while her guardian was seeing to matters that were of a much greater importance. He'd warmed up to her considerably, and had spent the better part of the past few weeks regaling her with tales of Clone Wars, of Separatist armies and a great hero who stood against them without fear.

But he wasn't meant to be her entertainer. Not really. And moments like this served to remind her of how much she didn't belong in this world.

She's bored, but she knows better than to leave. Instead, she moves to the great glass window to peer out at the city below, pressing her hands and forehead to the glass.

"I hate this planet."

Zuko | Avatar: the Last Airbender

[flammatory]

[m/f and m/m both okay!]

siblings 5/7/8 thing

[divinerighttorule]

[Things had been strange, certainly, since she'd been brought back to the palace. She'd been found by her mother, in fact, wandering the outskirts of the spirit forest. But Azula had looked past her, been entirely silent. She hadn't spoken, actually, since then. Even surrounded by the remaining members of her family, she'd seemed removed from everything. Moving as if in a dream.

Her brother, uncle, and even father could produce no effect on her.

Yet she ate, was dressed by servants, and walked the grounds as if she were a princess still. The madness that had driven her into the forest, that had made her careless, seemed gone. As did everything else in her.

Then, one night, Zuko might feel a weight on the side of his bed. A hand on his shoulder. Two hard shakes. And there, sitting there, was Azula. Her eyes alert in the darkness, her lips pulled into a thin line, and her shoulders arched forward. Like an owlcat ready to strike.]

How long have I been here?

[There, at least, is a fire in her voice now. She is a little more like herself.]

[minimoff]

[ The dust had finally settled after the entire mess that was finding the Scarlet Witch. The Avengers went back to normal, the Young Avengers split and went their separate ways, and Tommy was left with the shambles of a life he had just started to get used to.

If there was one thing for certain after a month had passed, it was that he could not stay with the Kaplans a moment longer. Jeff and Rebecca were so nice it made him nervous, there were only so many games he could play with the younger boys, and Billy... well. He could not stand sitting around and watching Billy mope on a windowsill for the rest of forever.

So he packed his meager things into his backpack and went to try and figure out an alternative.

Which was how he got here. Standing awkwardly in front of a door that apparently belonged to the most dangerous mutant in the world.

Who might also be his real mom.

Tommy was still not sure where he stood on that whole thing.

Yet here he was, hand halfway raised to knock on it. Every doubt he had had the last month seemed to well up at once. If she really wanted them around, she would have come found them, wouldn't she? Or maybe she was angry. Tommy knew he had said some hurtful things to her. He had not meant them, not really, but she would not know that. Or maybe she just did not like him. Maybe this would just be awkward and pointless. What was he even going to say? Hey, possibly Mom, can I crash on your couch?

He bit his lip sharply. Maybe he should just go. ]
