Appearances Don't Matter

Appearances Don't Matter

It all goes so well when people don't see you, so it's easier to hide away. And why wouldn't you want to keep away from the eyes of others? You're hideous to the world at large, despite your own opinions of yourself, no matter if you're human or otherwise. You don't appear to be anything most would want to be around, much less befriend. If you're human, your appearance could be chalked up to mutation, a freak chance at birth, or an an accident later in life; if you're not human, you just happen to exist in a place where those who look like you would never be accepted by the mainstream. Maybe it's not even your whole appearance, though. Your point of contention could be something like an injury or prosthetic that makes you feel not whole, though it may be insignificant in the view of the kind and open-minded. There's more comfort in covering that up and not letting anyone get close. In any case, you don't expect someone to love you, be attracted to you, or even want to be with you, especially a beautiful someone. Yet somehow, somebody does...or, at least, it seems that way. Will this new development last? Can you put your demons at bay long enough for it to do so? HOW TO PLAY Comment with your character, canon, preferences, and whether or not you want shipping only or smut. Also, information about what side your character fits into best is imperative! Reply to others. Use the RNG to determine your prompt or choose your own. PROMPTS Meeting | You've never seen anyone who doesn't balk at your appearance, but they don't. Growing Close | It starts as a friendship or an alliance, the grows to- more? Jealousy | There's no way they could see you as anything special. Surely, they have someone more handsome or beautiful in their sights. Realizing Feeling | At first, you didn't realize how your heart was feeling just by them being around, but now it's becoming clear: you're falling for them. Can't Tell Them | You'll ruin your bond with them should you tell them how you really feel. They'll be disgusted, so you'll keep mum. Touch | They touch you without a hint of distaste, which could be a big plus compared to what you usually deal with. No Difference | Actually, they can't tell that you're different, due to lack of vision or something similar. All they can discern is your personality. The Way It Used to Be | You didn't use to look this way, and it's hard to come to terms with your new look and how it affects Confession | You can't keep in your emotions anymore, or they accidentally get revealed. Good | They share your feelings! You never could have imagined this, but you couldn't ask for more. Bad | ...oh, you thought they...oh, they're so sorry. Scared | "Friendship" nor a "relationship" was never on their mind. In fact, they're scared of you. Cruel | All of their supposed kindness was actually just them using you for their benefit. To think, you really believed they cared about you! Defense | They step on the line for you, standing up to those who'd consider you a monster or somehow lesser. Uncovered | You're exposed and they can see everything you've tried to hide. You want to crawl into a hole and die. They want to keep you from feeling that way. Shouldn't Be | People oppose your relationship, and there may be some points to the arguments. Intimacy | Even being close, which most take for granted, could be a new and possibly uncomfortable event for you. Smut | The obligatory smut option, with all the baggage, angst, and difficulties that may come with it. Misunderstanding | You heard them insinuate that you're nothing but the ugly outside, or, at least, that's what you think came out. Bad End | The messy breakup option...or worse. Good End | The happy ending option...or better. WILDCARD

Comments

The Iron Bull | Dragon age Inqusition

[ataashihunter]

Preferably game or cast mates.

Hunter | Beastly | M/M

[losthunter]

[Comfortable with both shipping and smut. Best role is for Hunter to be the one with the 'unusual' appearance]

Saya Masaki | Neon Sign Amber | m/m

[gyaruo]

[5 is pretty much how Saya would be if he had feelings for another.]

[bokenidaime]

[ooc: So wanna get together with a cheerful demon yakuza boss? Rihan is not one to judge himself, but knows fully well that people can judge him by profession alone.]

sam wilson ( mcu ) ota

[jetcoaster]

[ ridiculous idea, but an au where sam had actual wings that were injured badly during his time in pararescue or helping steve in tws--and have since been amputated. he's still trying to recover

alternatively, he's your normal guy ]

[aproperdoctor]

[would you like a doctor to help that recovery along?]

[natalia_vdova]

[I love your AU idea if you'd be interested in a Nat... maybe he got injured during tws, and she's been checking in on him and such after the amputation?]

rydia | final fantasy iv | m/f

[sylvan]

[ Please specify if you'd like the older sequel version (tilleul). Rydia was raised with monsters and doesn't really take appearance into consideration. 18+ for this version, 30+ for the other. ]

[tshoktharuktha]

[Care for a nearly 7' tall, blood-red half-orc? He's frankly pretty unused to finding humans attractive, himself... I'm up for AUing him into FF4, or her (and optionally the Feymarch) into the D&D game setting he comes from, since they had their own war against an evil empire. They could be comrades during the war, or something else; I'm open to ideas!]

Rey | SW:TFA | OTA

[thesefirststeps]

[ooc: It's a great big universe, after all ... ]

Nightcrawler | Xmen movies

[strikingblue]

[this is his meme after all!]

[losthunter]

[Are you open to cross canon?]

Re: Nightcrawler | Xmen movies

[surfshopbabe]

((Lili's a changeling OC marvel character?

Would she be okay with you?))

Francesco Calvierri | Doctor Who "The Vampires of Venice" | ota

[sonofafish]

[Canon giant lobster monster from space who can disguise himself as human. From 16th century Venice, but can be put in modern times. Ota & shipping, smut, or gen all fine.]

[sssiiiiirrrrr]

There are many things that Horatio likes about the Barge. He likes the freedom, likes Francesco, but most of all, he thinks he likes the future. Likes wandering into ports where the abnormal-- the illegal, even, has become perfectly acceptable.

It's enough to make him reckless. Possibly even enough to make him stupid. Certainly, it's enough to make him slip his hand into Francesco's one day, while they're walking together, side by side.

It's an absent, distracted thing, but once he's done it, he is suddenly and immediately aware of the fact that this is entirely inappropriate and that he's probably making a terrible mistake.

kurt wagner [nightcrawler] | x-men: apocalypse | m/m

[shadowblends]

[ooc: oh, the irony ... preferences and such here.]

[electro_psycho]

[OOC: Would you be okay with an X-Men OC? Kurt is too precious, he deserves all the love. (A+ username, by the way.)]

Cid Highwind | Final Fantasy VII

[gtfomyhighwind]

{ Ota, can be either role. Anthropomorphic beings only; no full on beasts. Smut is a likely option but shipping can be done, or just straight up platonic-friendship building is fine!

ooc

[perversehealer]

[I was thinking 8, 15, and 18? Matthias bears curse that normally strips him of body heat and life the more he uses his powers, but I can imagine a what-if scenario in which he turns out looking different - maybe lizard or snake-like in some places? - instead of just dying outright.

[What do you think?]

Draco Malfoy | Harry Potter

[dracolucmalfoy]

[ OTA for Gen, M/M for shippy/smut. Can be normal or changed/different.]

Natasha Romanov (MCU) mf

[aredledgerday]

((She's got a few scars, but probably the accepting one.))

Miin | OC

[limeandgold]

Sharkface • Red vs Blue • OTA

[borninflames]

[Would kind of prefer gen over shippy things for him. He's extensively scarred from having a building drop on him but doesn't let it keep him down.]

Vision | MCU

[visionarie]

S’chn T’gai Spock | NuTrek | OTA

[alexitimia]

[[ Them ears tho. ]]
