The AU!Pet Person Meme (Shipping & Smut)

>> premise

Hello, and welcome to The Care and Keeping of Your Pet! As you surely know, a pet is a big responsibility, and we're so glad you've decided to be a conscientious master. A safe pet is a happy pet, and this handbook is certain to keep your precious lifelong friend as content as can be. The history of the animal person is a long and difficult one, with their origins not being known even to this day. However, scientists believe that despite our common appearance - most animal people have humanoid forms except for the ears, tails, and sometimes teeth - we share no common ancestry, even if the ascent of this species corresponds with that of the homo sapiens. We gained dominance over each breed thousands of years ago, beginning with the dog type, who have long been considered "man's best friend." Most breeds these days are docile and perfect for owners of any speed. Of course, it is our duty as the superior species to take care of these animal creatures, and this is inherent in their genetic makeup. Everyone knows that an animal person, when matched with their correct human master, is loyal for life - a true "soulmate," if you will. Far be it for us to turn this away! Ever since the Great Domestication, these intelligent and loving animals have served us as friends, workmates, guardians, servants, and sexual companions and will for years to come. Despite recent hubbub from so-called "Pet People's Rights Activists," this way of life is wholesome and good. Scientific research shows that the natural desire of the pet person is to be owned and cared for by a human. So, it's your first pet. What do you need to know? As previously stated, pet people come in as many breeds as you can possibly think of. By far and away the most popular are the dog and cat types, but exotic birds and lizards have been gaining popularity among trendsetters from L.A. to Tokyo! All pet types are best suited for certain jobs, and when hunting for one, it is best to search for a type that suits your needs best. However, a "True Match" - when a pet person bonds with you and only you for the rest of their natural lives - comes naturally, and sometimes takes time before you can find the pet you will be able to give a forever home to. According to all current research, pet people are completely sentient and like us in many ways. However, it is important to remember that they have many animalistic and feral characteristics. Do not be foolish and think that your pet is a person, despite the facts that many are clothed and may be allowed to read, write, and have "hobbies." Some traditional pet owners may eschew these frivolities, and that is within their right. Pet people age more quickly than humans, at least physically, and many types have long lifespans. It is not uncommon for pets to be passed through the family. When getting your child their first pet, it's important to keep in mind that just because the pup is tiny now, a grown pet can be jumpy around a small child. It is important to train a pet. Discipline will be necessary. This does not make you a bad owner. Failure to train early will result in a rebellious pet. Training is especially important if you want your pet to serve as a household servant. Remember, your pet will be extremely protective of you, especially if you are Truly Bonded. It is best to socialize them early. A socialized pet is a perfect family pet. These days, unowned and unbonded pet people are allowed to live as strays or "Frees" in certain designated areas. Some even hold "jobs." This is against their best interest, and owners who adopt these strays are to be rewarded. Still, the best place to get pets are from liscenced kennels or breeders. Some masters find it beneficial to participate in activities with their pets, such as shows and other competitions. Finally, much has been made about the sexual relationship between pet and master. This is a normal facet of the bond, and humans are sure to find pet people sexually alluring. But beyond that, it is only responsible and prudent for owners to care for their pet's needs. It is a well-known fact that the libidos of pet people are remarkably strong, and when they go into heat, it is usually more convenient for a master to relieve them. There is no risk of pregnancy. All rumors of hybrids are urban legends. Despite this, masters must remember to not view their pets as romantic partners. Humans should stay with humans. With that said, thank you and welcome to your first day as a pet's master!

>> how to play

Needless to say, The Care and Keeping of Your Pet is a bit biased and full of propaganda, but it gives a good idea of the world your character is now AU's into. They are either a pet person or a human master, and what that means for them varies. So are they a devoted pet or a rebellious animal person looking to buck the system? A generous master or a cruel sexual sadist? Just a normal pet owner? Most likely they're something in between, but when you're raised in this world, it's difficult to see anything different on the horizon. Rules Comment with your character and say whether they'd be a master or a pet. Ideally, they could be played as both. Mention what kind of each they'd be and what they'd be like, (ie: "Xx-chan is a bunny girl who is happy to please her master" or "Asterothia is a cat boy who is aloof but loyal to his true master"). For pets, be sure to include features ("wolf ears, tail, teeth). REMEMBER, pet does not automatically equal submissive and master automatically equal dominant. This is not a BDSM setting though BDSM can be included. How far you want to go with the actual "pet" aspect is up to you, as well. Your pet could just be your slightly-furry roommate or soulmate! Comment to others. Play out the scene.

>> prompts

This by now means an all-inclusive list, but it should get you going in the right direction. First Time Pet/Owner: Usually, pets are gotten at a young age; you're an old dog. Can you learn new tricks? True Bond: What all masters and pets yearn for...the pet's loyalty and adoration for life. Love: It's expected for masters to love their pets, but to love them? Romance is strictly forbidden. Old "Couple": Master and pet have grown together and know each other. You know, know each other. Loss of Master: The pet has lost their master, perhaps even their True Bond. Is it possible to move on? Young Master/Older Pet: Pets age quicker than masters, so it's possible to end up with a bit of an "age" difference. Family Pet: This pet's been raised as part of the family. What happens when their feelings for a family member get more than platonic. For Your Protection: You don't want to be a master, but you have to take in a pet for their protection lest they be in danger from the general public. Stray: You're a stray or a "Free." Can you live like this with your biology screaming for you to make a match? Servant: You're more servant than pet. All Sex, All the Time: The only purpose for this pet is to service the master, and not in a way that means cleaning their house. Guard: You're a loyal bodyguard, a service pet. You'll do anything for your master. Anything. Pet Play: This is for those who prefer to keep their animals on leashes, have them eat from bowls, and keep away from clothing. Breaking In: Training is important with any pet. In Love with Another Master...or Pet: To lust after another's master is no better than treason, and to wish to be with another pet just cruel! Punishment: Bad dog, no nookie! Heat: All pets go into heat, and it's the responsibility of the owner to take care of this problem. After all, unchecked dry humping kills thousands every year. Breeding: Breeders know the best qualities in each type and mate the cream of the crop together to continue lines. It's a hobby for some, a calling for others. Pregnancy: So, about that whole "hybrid" thing. It maaaay be more true than you think, even if pet/human pregnancies are the stuff of salacious tabloids. Territorial: Hey, hey, other dog person! This is your apartment. Stay the fuck out! Kennel: Kennels are where unadopted pets are kept. They're generally agreed to be depressing places. Why not volunteer at one, keeping the pets healthy and happy with the kind of affection only humans can show? Rebelling Against the System: Damn the Man! Pet people are people, too! Just be careful not to get talk. You know what happens to bad pets. Instant Attraction: You ever just look at someone and know they're the one? That they're...your master? But what if you've been trying to fight it? Well, don't try! Dominant Pet: You might be the pet, but you call the shots, at least in the bedroom. Pet Show: Everyone wants to show off how perfect their animal is. Look at that ass! And you'll never believe their special skills... Therapeutic: Pets, especially those bred for their kindliness, are perfect therapy for those who've been through trauma and heartache. Jealousy: Who's that around your master? Oh, hell no. They better not be touching them! Petting: Pet people are absolutely gaga for being touched. Even the most steely ones turn to mush for rubs. Games: Playing with your pet and giving them exercise is a key to happiness. Of course, with a pet person, you might want to use other toys instead of a ball.

Comments

Kuroka | High School DXD | OTA

[black_song]

(( ...duh. She's very, very much the typical cat. That is, lazy, selfish, and will walk all over an owner who gives her an inch. But for all of it she is very affectionate if you get her in a good mood. ))

[for_redemption]

[Are you interested in a thread with this OC and Kuroka as a "Stray" and "Dominant Pet"?]

Richter Lawrence Alcross | OC | M/F

[for_redemption]

[As an owner he's very kind with his pet. Always making sure their needs are addressed and he makes it a point that they get exercise by playing with them, and can take care of themselves if necessary. Occasionally he spoils them by granting one or a few of their wishes.

As a pet, he's a tough german shepard or wolf. Mostly he lazes around the home, but when he's awake he'd usually pick fights with other pets to make sure he's the alpha. He's very protective of his master and there's very little that he won't do for them. Occasionally playful and seldom is he meek.]

Satsuki Narita ♥ Vampire Darling ♥ m/m

[halfhalf]

[Half-vampire in canon but may be played as a very kind and caring human. As a pet, he's the submissive type, possibly a rabbit nekomimi. :3]

Mutt Williams | Indiana Jones

[brawlstarter]

((PET! Probably something dog like?))

Koushi Sugawara | Haikyuu!! | OTA

[warmsetter]

[As an owner he's very kind and sweet who likes to really spoil his pets a lot. As a pet he's a very friendly and kind pet that will help out around the house and dote on his master too. He can be either a silver cat or a crow with black wings.]

Thor » MCU » Master » OTA

[bjartr]

( Voice testing. He'd probably have dogs that he's training for combat. He'll definitely play with them (think rolling around in the dirt with them), but he'll also have a firm hand. He might take in other animals if they're injured/need rescuing and help nurse them back to health. )

[guiltylover]

[Any interest in a timid, stray red fox with a burned hand?]

Naomi Kimishima | Trauma Team | OTA

[chatwithdeath]

[Owner: A responsible owner more nonchalant about owning a pet honestly. If it was anyone's idea, it was most likely at the behest of her daughter they get one so while the spoiling comes from the kid, Naomi makes sure a pet remains cared for and overall healthy. Even in scenarios without her daughter and just needing a guard, things are more... mutual between her and her pet.]

[Pet: Whether a more common pet (cat) or exotic (wolf), she's aware of her nature to find her true master, but vehemently against the rest of the system. Highly independent, she can be affectionate but only so rarely. Best for 'Stray' or 'Rebel' scenario in search of a home... for her adopted kitten or pup, but can play out bonded, or old couple. Though, she will still call out her master acting foolish.]

How about the ride home after adopting Curie?

[acroname]

[To say that Curie was excited to hear that her new owner was an actual, for-real doctor would undoubtedly be an understatement. She was thrilled! Ecstatic, even!

And when Naomi had come back to the adoption agency, it was all she could do not to leap into the silver-haired doctor's arms. Her heart soared, not only at the thought of being owned and cared for by a loving family - although certainly that too - but also at the thought of the many things she could learn from such a doctor.

She couldn't sit, or even stand still as she impatiently waited for the Naomi to complete the paperwork for the adoption, her eyes constantly darting between the woman and the door, as if there were some sort of time limit that only Curie knew about. The relief she felt when the Doctor indicated that the paperwork was complete, and that she was ready to go was practically palpable in the air.]

Mon dieu! I must admit, Maîtresse Kimishima, I am very excited to see your home!

[As if the doctor couldn't already tell. Still, as she finishes speaking, both of Curie's french bulldog-like eats stand on end, as if she's made a sudden realization of something.]

Oh, pardon moi, Mademoiselle! I got ahead of myself, I should 'ave asked before addressing you! Would you prefer I call you Maîtresse, or Docteur Kimishima?

[She's practically shaking with excitement, and her stubby little bulldog tail is wagging as fast as it can - and the two of them haven't even gotten to the car yet.

Are you ready to have this over-eager puppy in your house, Naomi?]

Rosalia Rossellini | Trauma Team | OTA

[bloodinbloom]

[Owner: A new owner who tries her best, but she can seriously spoil her pet. Or, her pet is mainly there to be her guardian, but she loves them all the same.]

[Pet: Whichever kind of pet she is (dog, cat, or rabbit), she's a loyal one. A little nervous around strangers and her owner at first, she can warm up fast, and is affectionate to her owner especially her true bond.]

(OOC: Keep all scenarios clean.)

[disciplinary_action]

["She may be the savior of mankind one day. Whether or not you understand this, keep my daughter safe."

He didn't understand at first, wondering how one human could save everyone. By all means, he was a simple rottweiler, a breed bred to guard regardless of the circumstances so long as they know what they're guarding and from what. But as time went on... it slowly dawned on him.

The needles, the bandages, every sleepless night spent by the good doctor. It took him months to come to the realization that... yes. Yes, Rosie was going to help the humanity that at first had abandoned her. She may save everyone, and everyone may then never know who it was that was responsible for the end of all that could destroy them from the inside.

So he guarded her from brightest sunshine, from stinging bees coming to feast from the flowers, from coyotes and other wild dogs... even from the rare visitor. With a sigh, he lounged in the grass and stretched his limbs. Another day... seemed like it was going to be another quiet one.]

Kenma Kozume | Haikyuu | OTA

[nekogamer]

[As an owner he may appear that he's not paying attention, but he is. He's very observant of his pet and their needs. He may not be big on much attention, but if they come to him he won't push them away. He's a quiet owner, but he cares very much for his pet. As a pet he's a kitten who's shy and won't go near his owner at first. In time, once he trusts him he will be around more often looking for attention.]

yuan yongje | cavalier of the abyss | ota

[serpeness]

( as an owner she is kind to her pet, but isn't afraid to scold them whenever they happen to get into trouble. she'll spoil them and enjoy playing whatever games they have in store for her. as a pet she's either a rabbit or cat, your choice, and she's extremely loyal to her owner and strives to please them. )

Sir Thomas Sharpe | Crimson Peak | Het

[guiltylover]

[Pet. A timid red fox with dark red, almost mahogany ears and bushy tail. Ears and tail are black tipped. He'll need a lot of love and gentle handling, but once he's comfortable with his owner he's extremely loyal and affectionate.]

[reoccurring]

[ Mina as his owner? She can give him a gentle touch, and she's a doting sort. ;) }}

Oswald | Odin Sphere

[ashadowofhope]

[Owner: Aloof and intimidating owner by nature, he is actually very nice to his pet. In fact, he doesn't treat them so much as a pet or a possession of his, and appreciates their company. Of course, obvious companion that he has to take care of. Definitely doesn't own a pet to be his guard.]

[Pet: A surly looking pet (option of lizard or dragon) that dutifully looks after his master. He makes for a good guard, but has probably gotten himself in the kennel several times. He's better around his true bond, less aggressive, but out of that, it takes time for him to warm up... if he ever does.]

[Better for more gen/ship stuff. Not so interested in smut.]

Yosuke Hanamura | Persona 4 | OTA

[garudynamic]

[Owner: Probably a family pet or something he got on impulse to ease his boredom and loneliness. Will most likely go for dogs or cats, but a cool exotic pet would be pretty rad, right? Oh god this snake is getting huge what the he-

Pet: He's probably a dog or maybe some small obnoxious bird. Excitable and goofy, but loyal and super friendly.

Open to gen and/or shippy stuff!]

kirito | sao | locked

[solokun]

:)

[avantguard]

[With the way Asuna eagerly greets Kirito when he comes home, one would expect a dog as a pet. But Asuna has a long swishing tail and sharp cat ears of the same chestnut color of her hair when she comes to the front door. In an apron. She's been practicing with her new favorite hobby -- cooking.

And it's not naked apron but still an apron. If he wants her to do that though, she can't refuse.]

Welcome back, Kirito-kun. [An apron and a warm, pleased smile that her master is home safe and sound greets him. She wants to hug him but she's waiting for her pets...]

Frisk | Undertale | OTA

[bestillmybeatingsoul]

[Playing them aged up to 25 for shippy/smut, though I currently only have the one icon fully made so far to reflect it.

[Owner: Shy with a lot of issues, particularly with trust. However, will not hesitate to be warm and welcoming. Hyper-aware of surroundings and their pet's needs. Unlikely to instigate sexual or romantic contact unless the other party shows some receptiveness first. Good things are so rare, so they don't want to hurt others as they have been hurt, even if by accident.

[Pet: Timid and quick to hide. I'm thinking a canary, but I'm game to other options (or even monster critters) if you have a preference. Rescue/stray history.

[I have a preference towards castmates at the moment, but I'll welcome just about anyone.]

Lucina | Fire Emblem: Awakening

[rewindfate]

[Look at this fine young stallion-- Okay no. I'm fine with her either being pet or person, as for pet she'll probably be a maned lioness because a) royalty and lions go hand in hand and b), her aunt thought she was a hot dude in canon.

If she's a human, she's still royalty and she will lavish attention on her pet.]

[chromplex]

[Time to be both trash and rusty.

His daughter was a pet! It was to be expected since his wife was also a pet, but... boy. Things have been getting interesting lately. He hasn't been putting much thought behind it, but even simple things like petting just seemed to make Lucina warm more and more up to him.

... Which was somewhat awkward, to say the least. He didn't know what he was supposed to do. But he liked making her happy, so he doesn't really stop. He sat with her, petting her hair.]

Is there anything that you want to do today, Lucina?

[IT'S AN INNOCENT ENOUGH QUESTION. AND ONE THAT WILL HOPEFULLY GET THEM OUT OF THE HOUSE AND THIS SITUATION.]

Iron Liz | Atop the Fourth Wall | Master or Pet

[punsofiron]

[Will be a sassy but very cuddly cat in pet mode. Takes no shit but extremely loyal.]

[allthecrystalpepsi]

[Snob waited for Liz to come home, he wasn't the most patient of pet people. In fact for a dog person he was rather cat like. More for the fact he'd rather lounge about then do anything, but he's pretty territorial regardless. He laid on the couch grumbling to himself as he tapped his fingers across his arm. His ears twitching in anticipation while he watched one of the exploitation films for his review. Lloyd was in his lap who honestly was just a normal regular cat, who occasionally batted at Snob's tail.]

Naija | Aquaria | pet

[fathoming]

[A bit of a wild thing, so trust will need to be established (which can be handwaved)]

Yasaburo Shimogamo | Uchouten Kazoku | pet

[buttwarmed]

[A tanuki, but his troublemaking, lazy, novelty-loving personality is a lot more like that of a cat]

[chasing_fury]

[Interested in something with this pretends-to-be-grumpy lady?]

Shinichi Okazaki | NANA | pet

[hiredpistol]

[Your own punk-rock catboy]

Koizumi Hanayo | Love Live! | No smut

[idolintensifies]

[As an owner she would be a very caring and loving caretaker. She doesn't have a cruel bone in her body. Just. Be ready to put up with how much rice she eats. HOPE YOU LIKE RICE.]

[As a pet she's a smol, fluffy lop bunny. Very timid and shy but around people she trusts he opens up a lot more and can even be very fiery about stuff she cares about.]

Hanayo as the pet!

[drivesshotgun]

["Get a pet; it'll be good for you." That's what she's been hearing from many of her colleagues - including her partner. But when pets look and act very human, it's hard to wrap her mind around being an owner of one. Even after she got coaxed into visiting the local animal shelter, she had been wary about the whole idea still.

Until she met sweet and shy Hanayo, and her heart melted upon hearing how this adorable bunny had been simply left to fend for herself on the streets. After making sure that the paperwork's in order and that she notes what is needed to care for the young bunny, Kiriko found herself heading home that day with a bunny girl.

A few months has passed, and Kiriko finds herself looking forward to coming home in the evenings. She's noticed that Hanayo is opening up a little more with each day, and she's looking forward to spending some quiet time with her cute bunny.]
