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

Peter Quill » Marvel Comics » OTA

[starbuckslord]

( Master - Less likely to have a pet by choice and more likely to have one out of necessity, e.g., finding an injured animal and nursing them back to health and passively letting them stay past their recovery, rather than pushing them out or dumping them on someone else.

Pet - A bird-type, kind of like the aegyl from Final Fantasy. He has wings in the style of a golden eagle, with a little more gold in the wings than brown. Definitely a proud bird, and not likely to be content with simple captivity. )

Samus Aran | Metroid (Prime) | OTA

[zerosuitsamus]

(( As the Master, she takes time to open herself up to a pet, but when she does, she's fiercely protective and will never let anything happen to them. It could be something she found, a bodyguard pet, or even some sort of assistance animal to help deal with her stress between missions.

As a Pet, she's a genetically engineered mismatch (mix and match the animal parts of your choice!) with severe trust issues. But once she meets someone patient enough (or her "true match"), nothing in the universe will make her leave their side. ))

[lasthungrywolf]

[This dork would be totally happy to shelter her if she's an escaped hybrid of some sort! Probably a mix of predators, if she's designed for combat/bodyguard purposes, maybe heavy on the wolf and/or fox traits (e.g. ears, tail, that unwavering sense of loyalty) and some cat (e.g. eyes, the fierce independence, not being afraid to push her master around when needed). He probably wouldn't really mean to become her master, but if she ends up imprinting on him... open to other ideas, too, if you want!]

leonardo ( tmnt 2007 ) ota

[jungleboy]

( he's a pet.

a pet turtle. :| )

Undyne | Undertale | F/F

[highspearit]

[As a Master, she expects GREAT THINGS of her pets! They must be fierce, strong, and loyal! She might be strict, but it's only because she cares and wants to see them be their very best. High demands, but high rewards.

As a Pet, she's utterly devoted and crazy protective. No one gets to threaten her master, or Undyne kicks their booty. She's ferocious as heck, but when it's time for petting and affection, she's all over it.]

Stiles Stilinski | Teen Wolf | OTA

[theboywhoscreamedwolf]

[Master: Could come in either a) accidental owner, b) oblivious, normalized owner, or c) police trainer flavors.

Pet: Fiercely loyal, his bite is a helluva lot worse than his bark. Strong-willed, if you're looking for a challenge. Envisioned as a bird with beautiful white wings.]

[sanguinescry]

( interested in a Lydia? I prefer playing the pet, but I'm not averse to playing the master if you have a preference, since you're the top commenter. )

LEO TSUKINAGA ♪ ENSTARS ♪ OTA

[cyni]

( Master: Leo isn't too good with this because he'll forget his pet all the time? Maybe if you're a little weird he'll remember to feed them but other than that, he does his best! He'll leave sticky notes around to remember to do things for his animal. He's an idol, he has so much going on?

Pet: He's the pet cat that disappears for six years or every week and then reappears back on your doorstep after saying he's been catnapped by aliens. He's a rather active cat and places ownership on what's his, so he wouldn't like sharing at all? Leo shedding his fur on owner, no one else. )

I rolled 'Jealousy' so I hope this works

[okamai]

[Megumi has long since grown accustomed to Leo's wandering ways; it's part of who he is. They've basically grown up together, so she's had no choice but to get used to it. This time, though... This time, he's been gone for a long time. almost a full year. She'd be lying if she said that she wasn't beginning to get worried; Megumi always worries, about all sorts of things. But there's no point in just sitting around and letting it consume her, so she ended up falling into a bittersweet sort of hobby.

Feeding strays.

Megumi is an excellent cook, no matter how meager her self-confidence might be, so she's become a fast favorite with the stray cats and dogs of her port town. She's visiting them now, trying not to get bowled over by their eager attentions.]

A-Ah! Hey no, no shoving. There's plenty for everyone, don't worry...

Sonia Nevermind | Super Danganronpa 2 | OTA

[comeasyouare]

TFW YOU ACCIDENTALLY POST ON WRONG ACCOUNT + REPLY TO SOMEONE

as a master, she's really kind, doting, and loving. can be stern if needed, but usually very soft-handed, but not to the point of pushovery. if not au'd, she's a princess, so a guard would be an easy route. i'm all for au's, as well. :)

as a pet, she's a golden variety of a tiger. very attentive, very willing to go to great lengths for her owner, very devoted. she's definitely a good choice for a pet for those who want to be taken care of.

while i'm honestly open to all prompts, some i've had past interests in include heat, guard, ones regarding being possessive/territorial, and so on. the sky's the limit! smut is extremely optional. cr development is great!

[suzumitamao]

[[Want to be a pet guard for this girl? Tamao's generally friendly but also pretty obsessive, but I'd love her guard pet giving her a wake up call when her attempt at a 'regular' relationship falls through, perhaps motivated by territorial needs.]]

Koushi Sugawara | Haikyuu!! | OTA

[warmsetter]

[As an owner he's very sweet and kind. He will spoil his pets and even if he has to be firm, he's never cruel. Always there to make sure his pet feels comfortable and loved.

As a pet he's a very loyal pet who will make sure that his master is taken care of. He may be playful and little mischievous, but nothing that will get him in trouble. He may also be a bit territorial or possessive in his own way, only if he feels someone trying to come into his area. Other than that very sweet and loyal pet. He can be a cat with silver fur or a crow with black wings.]

Aki Ayamatsu (western order) | Sensitive Pornograph | M/M

[little_white_rabbit]

((As a pet rabbit, Aki is soft spoken at all times. Like his animal's stereotype, he has a fairly high libido. He can be affectionate, but due to mistreatment in the past, he becomes withdrawn around strangers.))

[protectiveswimmer]

[Would the rabbit mind this calm and caring owner?]

Kuroka | High School DXD | OTA

[black_song]

[[Cat. No, seriously. Not only is she a catgirl anyway, but she acts every inch that animal - lazy, greedy, easily bored, and generally being a pest. She also loves to tease. For all of it, though, she can be very affectionate when she feels like it. Would love for her to have a younger master she walks all over. CR and smut are both love.

All things considered it's unlikely she'll be a master, but I could certainly work something out, especially if we're talking one pet adopting another.]]

((kitten in heat?))

[red_harper]

Roy Harper was whipped, and sadly it was his kitten that seemed to have him wrapped around her little finger. In truth he never regretted having rescued the little stray from off the streets, and Kuroka had certainly made his life more interesting since they met. Yet while he had grown to love her, well his pet could be quiet bossy at times. He knew that he'd never be wealthy, and between working as a bartender and doing the super hero gig, it was a good day when he brought in a some real cash.

Still he had almost made the best of the situation, and tried his hardest to provide his adorable kitten with toys and tasty food. Try as he might though she tended to find ways at messing with him, and in between waking him up in the middle of the night or hogging up the whole couch while they tried to watch tv...well he had nearly had enough. However once again she always seemed to sense when Roy was near the edge and then all she had to do was bat those beautiful eyes and typically all was forgiven.

Even now as he tried to rest on the couch, nursing a few bruised ribs he had gotten in a fight an hour or so ago, Roy spotted her slowly approaching the couch and he braced himself for whatever game she was in the mood to play. "I uh...did ya get enough to eat? I made sure to stop off at that store you like so much, and got that fish you had mentioned."

King Darius | Adele & Darius | M/F

[kingofcruelty]

[Master. While rumored to be a horrible man who abuses his pets until he grows tired of them and has them killed, he's actually a kind, gentle, noble master who wouldn't hurt a fly. He grants his pets completely autonomy, even freedom if they want it, and while he's purchased hundreds of pets in an attempt to improve their lives, there's always room for that one special one to worm her way into his heart.]

Joseph Joestar | Jojo's Bizarre Adventure | ota

[hoestar]

[As an owner, he's crazy chilled out. His pets more or less have total freedom; he doesn't really care much about what other people think because, hey, he's already seen as kind of eccentric anyway. Pretty hands-on, friendly and lacking in impulse control open but he's also married so. drama bomb.

As a pet, Joseph's an old but still slightly overenthusiastic dog. Attempts have been made to train him but he's as stubborn as ever and tends to just do whatever he wants, which usually involves ignoring personal space and trying to act like he's the one in charge.]

[pumpumpumpkin]

[Interested in an equally enthusiastic, touchy-feely, magical cat-girl with impulse-control issues to match? Could have Jojo as the master, or as a fellow pet reminding Blair that he has been in the family longer than she is, I'm game either way. She's kind of a drama bomb herself.]

Kylo Ren | Star Wars | OTA

[darthvaderfanboy]

[Pet: He's a fynock, which means he's got beautiful wings and a snake tail to go with it. He's a strong-willed pet who always expects the worst from his masters, none of which he keeps very long. If someone doesn't keep a firm hand on him, he's liable to walk all over them.

Master: A cold-hearted man who expects a lot of from his pet. Sometimes his actions border on outright abuse. There might occasionally be a glimmer of something good below the surface. But these glimpses are far and few between, just enough to keep up a pet's hopes that better days are in store.]

[reoccurring]

[ Mina is a blonde spaniel puppy-person, with a sweet and cheerful disposition despite a stoic or strict master. She'll do whatever it takes to please, even in the face of a little cruelty. lmk if there are any prompts you prefer, and prose or brackets, and I'll write something up! ]

mikaela hyakuya | owari no seraph | m/m

[filthyvampire]

( Master: it depends on who it is, but pets will probably be handled with care. If it's a pet he's come to think of as family, he'll be the overprotective, clingy, and jealous sort of master. That doesn't mean he won't tease. If it's a pet he's only just taken in, he'll be distant and colder.

Pet: cat. He probably has an owner that you don't like, if he isn't a shelter cat you picked up. If he's new, he's still gonna be quiet and distant, aloof. A lot more warm if he's been kept and friended, same problems of overprotective and jealous. Loyal as hell, with only eyes for his master if he's been treated well. He's competent and obedient and domestic. Basically, he'll clean the shit out of your house whether he likes you or not. )

Michael-El Shaddai-OTA

[whoislikehim]

[As a Master, Michael would be the kind of person to take care of a family pet that was passed down to him or to take in strays if they were really down on their luck and needed help, but he'd always ask them what they wanted and would try to remember that these are creatures with free will that need to be respected.

As a Pet, Michael would be based off the Mute Swan and have wings and tail feathers just above his rear. Personality-wise, he would question things that seemed shady, like being just a sex pet, but he would put up with it if his conditioning was high enough or if he was convinced the person really loved him.

Whenever he gets mad, he will fly into a rage and destroy things, but when he calms down, he will apologize and make up for it in any way he can. Other than that though, he's generally a docile, airheaded, kind pet.]

Sariel-El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron-OTA

[foundlove]

[As as Master, Sariel will be very loving and affectionate, though he will tend to keep more than one pet at a time, especially since he believes that love gives him more power, and he wants to have as much love and power as he can. Though, he just wants power to protect those he cares about.

As a pet, Sariel will be an affectionate bunny boy with thin, but soft white ears, and a tiny, fluffy tail. He'll enjoy helping out whomever is his owner at the time, but if he finds out that they're abusing him or that they don't really love him and just want him for sex, he will leave until he finds a new owner to be with. It's best to have other pets with him too, since he gets lonely easily.]

Yuuki Kuran ✿ Vampire Knight ✿ OTA

[sunflowering]

(( Master - As a Master, Yuuki is from a well to do family, and slightly isolated. She would be kind and more prone to treating a pet as an equal or friend. She could easily get in over her head with a particularly stubborn or dominate pet. Maybe as a first time owner? But really she loves animals and so would be very doting.

Pet - Cat type with ears, fangs, and a tail. As a pet she'd be loyal and well behaved, although would probably raid the fridge and have a huge appreciation for treats and food in general. Next to food her favorite thing is (canonically even...) sleeping. She can be co-dependent, but loves affection and taking care of others. I'd be willing to play her for most scenarios. She could be a pedigreed cat suddenly abandoned, a runaway from a not so kind master, or having lost a master in general. Otherwise I can have her as newly adopted from a shelter, or chilling with other pet people? ))

pet!Yuuki + Stray

[shatteredseal]

[ Kamui doesn't exactly live in a bad part of town, but it's not great either. It's not a regular occurrence to hear strays of both varieties getting into spats in the side street that runs behind his home, nor is it totally unheard of. It's just infrequent enough that the sounds of definitely-bigger-than-regular-cats attempting to rip each other to shreds is enough to have him throwing open his back door with an annoyed: ]

Hey!

[ ... He's not actually annoyed, mind. He just wants to startle them enough to break up the fight. It seems to work, at least. By the time he's finished throwing open the door and shouting the bigger, black-furred and -haired one has already more-or-less fled the scene, and then other...

... seems to have darted into his back yard and under his porch for safety. Normally he'd just leave her (or him, it's not like he got a good look) under there until she felt like emerging on her own. Normally, however, there's not a steady drizzle of freezing rain that's supposed to become a proper downpour within the hour. To Kamui's credit, he doesn't even have to give it any thought before he descends the porch stairs and crouches down to peer underneath. ]

You okay...?

Sousuke Yamazaki | Free | OTA

[protectiveswimmer]

[As a master a very calm and caring one. He may seem gruff on the outside, but he's very soft on the inside. He's patient and loves to dote on his pets in his own little way.

As a pet he can be very observant and ready to help out his master whenever they need it. He's quiet, but doesn't mind the attention whenever his master comes around. He may seem like a gruff pet that doesn't like attention once he warms up to his master he'll start talking. He can be either a black dog or a whale shark merman, if someone wants to do that option.]

[protectthecastle]

(Hi there! Would you be interested in playing with this princess as the master and Sousuke as the whale shark merman? I'm also fine with playing Veronica as the pet husky and him as master as well!)

Kenma Kozume | Haikyuu | OTA

[nekogamer]

[As a master a very quiet, but observant one. He will watch his pet to make sure that they're feeling alright. He'll answer his pets calls for attention even if he's playing his game. He'll make sure his pet is very taken care of and will dote on them in his own way.

As a pet a quiet kitten who does his chores and plays his games. When he's not doing that he will ask for attention in his own way. He's not very open at first, however the longer he's with his master and trusts him the more he'll open up.]

lydia martin ♥ teen wolf ♥ ota

[sanguinescry]

( MASTER: generous, loving, and attentive. best suited for a therapy pet, guard-dog type; bonus points for both. she's less likely to have intentionally purchased a pet and more likely to have either been gifted one or taken in a stray.

PET: affectionate and protective, loyal to a good master and super defiant toward one that she feels doesn't fit the bill. she's the ears and tail of a red, long-haired tabby, but the rest of her is human. she'll be eager to please and intent on proving herself to be the best pet of all time. she's also clever and coy. sometimes, she can be skittish at loud noises. )

Lapis Fathalla | OC | OTA

[oneirism]

[Can be either Pet or Master!

As a Master, she would initially appear to be cold and withdrawn, but is actually affectionate and would be more likely to treat any Pet like a roommate. She would also have a tendency to be a bit of a troll too, and can actually be pretty playful sometimes.

As a Pet, she's a raven with an awesome singing voice or a fuffy black cat, and would be rather withdrawn at first, but is actually a huge sucker for affection and would be very loyal. Except she would have a habit of being very stubborn about getting her way, and can sometimes be mischievous.

I'm okay with all prompts, and feel free to ask if you're not sure!]

kon shinonome | amatsuki | ota

[unwrites]

( as a master he's more observant and physically distant when he wants to be but still cares for his pet as anyone should. he's a big ol' softy though and will dote on his pet with gifts and other benefits if they have good behavior.

as a pet he's the lazy dog who'll sleep on just about anything and rarely gets into any trouble because of that. but he's fiercely loyal to his master and will bite back if someone tries to get close. )

the dragonborn | skyrim | ota

[drehnifusbahi]

[As a Master, he's very generous and attentive, more likely to have taken in or been given a Pet than bought one. He'd also have a tendency to treat said Pet more like a housemate.

As a Pet, I can see two options: either a cat-type with a penchant for wandering off on adventures and turning up days or weeks later, or a genetically-engineered 'dragon' for an owner with very specific tastes. Second one could potentially also be a guard-Pet, and is likely to be more dominant and territorial.]

Shirasu Kinjou | Donten ni Warau | OTA

[allfortheclan]

((As a pet, he is like a bird: fast and willowy. His hair is made of white, downy feathers and his eyes are solid purple. He has a pair of small, white wings on his back that he can tuck underneath loose-fitting clothing. However, he is unable to actually fly. If he bonds with his owner, he will absolutely offer to claw out the eyes of his owner's enemies.

As a pet owner, he is likely to be an experienced hand at training and discipline, patient and generally not cruel. And if you're the right type of pet, he will show you a gentleness most people don't see.))

Lavi | D.Gray-Man | OTA

[neverforgets]

(As a master, he's playful and probably lets his pets run all over the place. Sometimes needs a reminder that it's feeding time, or bath time, or whatever. Very devoted to his work and can be benignly neglectful of his pet.

As a pet, he is, of course, like a rabbit! He likes to get into everything, investigate and lope around, sometimes just watching things go around him. He has long, soft red ears that match his hair, and somewhere along the line, he lost his eye, so sad. He loves to eat, sleep, and sit with his owner while his owner is doing whatever.)
