Caretaker Role

[thelegendof]

CARETAKER ROLE Who in the world could hate kindness? Sweetness? Conscientiousness? All of us, on some level, like to be pampered and taken care of, from the most churlish to the most pleasant. Yes, even those grouchy grumps, or, of course, the cool-headed psychos - Okay, maybe not all of us to the same degree. Regardless of your disposition, somehow, you've gained a doting significant other. It seems like they find their greatest pleasure in taking care of and looking out for you. This may manifest in them simply trying to keep you entertained, happy, and healthy; it could also come in the form of them being a domestic doter, taking care of all your needs. Be it the former or the latter, there's an inherent adorableness that comes with their efforts and generosity, and in return, you have an urge to protect and care for them. They're just too precious for this world! Only, you know, there's a good chance you can a. ignore this, because you're emotionally stunted and full of wo/manpain, or b. repress it because you're a badass and would never. Unless you've completely disregarded all that because they're just too much and you want to hold them forever. So, how do you feel about all this? Do you wish they'd stop with this foolishness (not really)? Are you pushing them away? Are you embarrassed? Maybe you're absolutely taken with them! Just realize that you have it incredibly good. HOW TO PLAY • Comment with your character, preferences, their role, any info, etc. • Reply to others. ROLE • Usual: This is how they always are. "Caring" is in their nature. • Unexpected: They don't seem like the type...but with you, they are. • Terrible at It: They're trying hard, yet it seems like they fail at trying to take care of you. Depending on who you are, though, that may just make them more endearing. • Because You Like It: They heard you like those who are sweet and kind, so they're trying to change their ways. • Not Together: Technically, you're not together romantically, but everyone knows the truth. • The Doted Upon: What it says on the tin! PROMPTS • Feeding: Whether they cook for you or have moments where they feed you, literally, they take your nutrition seriously. • Massage: Let them work out all those kinks. • Clean You Up: Here, they've drawn a warm bath for you. • Dress Your Wounds: If you're the kind of person who gets in battles, they'll see that you're all patched up. • Singing: Or telling stories, or otherwise calming you down. • Lap Rest: Sometimes, their lap is the best pillow. • A Shoulder to Cry On: When you have troubles, they're always there to listen. • The Calming Force: If you have moments of terror from past trauma, they're always willing to put themselves on the line to bring you back to reality, even if it puts them in danger. • Soft Kisses: Their kisses feel so good, and they're never demanding. • Head Pat: Sometimes, a simple gesture can mean the most. • Grooming: They'll fix your hair - or at least play with it - and help you shave. • Gifts: Homemade or expensive, they like to shower you in presents. • Lovemaking: The obligatory smut option, where they're a generous lover. • Protector: They look out for you, and while they don't seem that way, if you're threatened, they get like a bear protecting her cubs. • Gentle Giant: They make you feel so small and delicate. • Reverse: For once, you want to dote on and take care of them. • Unwilling: It's a wonder they still try to care for you, because you're cruel to them and rebuff them at every turn, even if you really don't mean it. • It's Okay to Cry: They never get upset because they don't want to put that on you. You want to let them know they can let it all out. • WILDCARD

(Badly needing care, Passing on smut and canon through the end of season 3 (skipping bloodlust in favor of mental and emotional fallout instead), would love to explore the summer after everything with Ra's Al Ghul especially, M/F for ships and OTA for platonic/castmates)

Hopefully this is alright :0

[ Cid had always found that he was someone who resisted what was attempted to be forced upon him, in whatever way imaginable or possible. But when the trigger had been pulled, this time, it appeared that he wasn't heading for an end out of believing what he had done was certainly all for naught. No, the man instead found himself barreling into another place in a distant land, although certainly foreign... it had its own darkness. Darkness that seeped into other or individuals, or like any other creature.

The black-haired male, however, was heedless to the fact that he may have unwittingly interrupted a battle, and he (for now) was out of sorts, his attention fixated on the woman he saw. He blinked blearily, and moved, albeit too slow as his limbs seemed to not get a handle on wherever he happened to be now. ]

...Where...?

[There has always been nothing but one battle after another. It was a situation that Aerith was quite accustomed to; however she found there should be at least a limit on the number of...clone monsters one person can go against. At the very least, she was well verse with them due to her ability to appear before the battlefield and had enough energy to use one of three abilities for whoever she was partnered with. She has had many partners to fight alongside with, from both sides of the war; it was always random (but she definitely felt more comfortable at the Cosmos side than Chaos).

Until now, that is. It would seem she was now assigned to someone -- a Squall Leonhart. One of the few changes to her brand new situation were: now she was stuck with a body, but it would seem it wasn't solid and only Squall can see and communicate with her. Although, from the latest battle, she was beginning to suspect that maybe the clone creatures from the Chaos side can see her too. They have been quite adamant to chase after her throughout the fight while she tried to use her abilities for her partner's benefit. Needless to say, the situation seemed to have slightly changed from only Squall can see and to now monsters can see her and she becomes more solid while they are in the middle of combat. Their last fight was definitely a disaster. With a concern hand on her chest, she'll turn to Squall with clear unease on her expression.]

Squall, are you alright? That last battle was quite a doozy. [She'll begin to observe her surly partner with keen interest as she had a difficult time believing he could have left the battle without any injuries. There has to be something she can do to help him, anything to make it better.] Why don't we take a small break? I'd like to talk for a moment. [After all.] You noticed it too, right? [Or even more. Somehow she couldn't help feel Squall was a trained warrior, more so than the other warrior types in both sides. His movements in battle always did leave a feeling of nostalgia within her. It was both easy, but difficult to work alongside him because of it. She didn't wish to lose concentration during combat. Although, she seems to be doing quite a bit of that lately...]

[Either role.]

[blessedmaiden]

Not necessarily romantic, definitely the caring one.

Bruce Banner » MCU

[hyperkinesia]

[ Would like to play him as the one being taken care of, but I can do caretaker role too. M/F for shipping, but we can also do platonic or friendship stuff. Open to cross canon and AU's! ]

choose your own angst levels!

[seeingscarlet]

[She's still here hovering in the doorway after the others have left. Of course she is, even if Bruce doesn't want her to be, like part of her isn't afraid the Other Guy might make an appearance.

There's a very fluffy-looking blanket draped over one arm and a mug of some sort of tea in her hands.]

You should drink something.

Libra | Fire Emblem Awakening | OTA

[fetchingfriar]

[Either works!]

[takethestairs]

[Hey! If you're up for AUs, then I can play Edgeworth as SpotPass DLC a mage recruited into Chrom's Shepherds. We can either play Libra healing Edgeworth wounds, or we can play Edgeworth making a clumsy attempt to repay Libra for everything he's done.]

Sherlock Holmes | Sherlock BBC | m/ for shipping, gen is fine too

[Available for both options, just for giggles.]

Natasha Romanoff | MCU

[owesdebts]

[F/M for shippy. Can be open to either role, but she'll be curmudgeony if someone tries to take care of her.]

clearly we need another thread ... ... ... but i mean this is his jam

[genotypes]

[ ooc: (so very) usual > dress your wounds. severity of injuries up to you, though i'm starting w/ a sprained ankle just cuz.]

Will you stop moving, Natasha?

[It's a question. That's a bad sign. Charles learned long ago to speak in the inquisitive when he's getting really testy- so as to avoid accidentally mind-whammying an offending party into doing his bidding. He talks through clenched jaws, but only because the pin that'll hold this wrap shut around her sprained ankle is suspended between his teeth as he works at winding the stretchy fabric into place. He'd have shouted it, otherwise.

Natasha had strode in with her typical nonchalance, as if the myriad injuries left over from the earlier altercation that'd had the Avengers plastered over most news stations were none of anyone's concern - least of all hers. When Charles caught the spark of pain she was broadcasting over the peculiar mental bond they'd shared of late, he'd blanched and given a firm 'Nope.' Almost as soon as she'd walked through the door she was greeted with, 'To the infirmary with you. Now.' And he'd brooked no argument.

So, here they are under bright fluorescent lights in an antiseptic looking room full of shiny steel and disposable white bed sheets. Hank could do this better, probably, but Charles is more than proficient with basic first aid and intent enough on personally insuring she's not badly injured that he'd rather do it himself. He sends her a stray glance that's fond enough but rife with irritation. It's difficult to speak with that pin between his teeth, but he manages to be understandable, if muffled.]

For all that you complain about your teammates' machismo, you've got a hilariously foolhardy streak of your own. [Lecture-y. With such a strained, world-weary huff.] I said would you be still.

Kristen Kringle l Gotham

[kristenkgcpd]

(M/F for ships and would love someone from the TV side of DC or Marvel for this, ask if tagging with Nygma just to hash out canon points? Canon through "Knock,Knock")

[likeshowbusiness]

['Caring' will come in the form of expensive gifts and good sex and otherwise being a shitty, overly possessive, sometimes violent boyfriend. As the care-ee, will need to be soothed through his depressive periods and horrible rages. Prose tags, please]

[muggsy]

In Eggsy's defense, he hadn't even been that drunk and disorderly. Last night had been one of those (increasingly rare) occasions where he'd had time to let off a bit of steam with some old friends; Harry usually has something for him to be doing down the Stardust if it's a week night, which Eggsy suspects is to keep a close eye on him. Not much of a sharer, is Harry. Sometimes it leaves Eggsy feeling a little frustrated - a little bit too fucking coddled - so when Harry had affectionately told him to fuck off out for a few hours he'd been happy to oblige.

Ryan, it turns out, has been hitting the bottle even harder than Eggsy remembers , and it'd taken both him and Jamal to calm him the fuck down and stop him from starting a full-on fight with the filth. Jeering and name-calling became stone throwing, then bottle throwing, at which point Eggsy had realised they were about to get into some serious shit, but by then it was too late to do much other than decide whether he wanted to get the fuck out of there or help out his friends.

Soft-hearted idiot that he is, he chose the latter. Ryan and Jamal escaped by the skin of their teeth and Eggsy was slammed into a cell overnight for disorderly conduct. Needed some time to 'cool down', or so the copper had said, before cracking his truncheon over his head and leaving him with his teeth rattling in his skull. The damp kiss of the concrete floor had been oddly welcome.

Overall, his overnight stay hadn't been as bad as it could have. Regaining consciousness had been a bit of a fucking ordeal: one of the pigs was holding his cock through the bars and pissing at the spot right next to his chin, sending Eggsy scrabbling back towards the wall with a shout and a cuss as the marching band started up behind his eyes. A hangover and a mild concussion aren't pleasant to deal with, after all, and the stink of piss in his cell had him heaving over a bucket seconds later. He hadn't mentioned Harry Starks - didn't want to be seen as some kind of kept boy hiding behind a tough name - although he suspects that by the time he's kicked out in the morning someone on the staff has recognised him.

Someone's probably told Harry.

Someone certainly mutters a slew of homophobic slurs at him as he leaves the station. He heads straight for Harry's house, where he can immerse himself in a long, hot bath, and feel sorry for himself and his poor black eye. Eggsy tries to creep in quietly, not wanting to disturb the owner if he's home, and gingerly peels out of his grimy, piss-spattered suit jacket as he toes his shoes off in the porch. God knows Harry would probably throw a complete and utter tantrum if he thought Eggsy was intentionally bringing in germs, and if there's one thing he doesn't need right now?

Yeah.

It's another lecture about sanitation.
