PET PERSON SHIPPING MEME

>> 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 concientious 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 sapien. 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

carswell thorne ( the lunar chronicles ) ota

[captainisking]

( Pet. "Retired" army dog (he deserted, lbr). He's a malinois, surprisingly skilled at tracking and defense, considering his generally roguish attitude. He's a stray, but he'll be loyal to anyone who takes him in and shows some character. Up for playing with the idea that he was blinded in the line of duty, if we want to go with him being honorably retired. Smut's A-OK, and we can include the appropriate anatomy if things go that way. )

captain steele ( trials in tainted space ) ota

[outworlder]

( Pet. Kind of. He's technically half-alien, and as a result has dog ears and a tail. More interested in playing scenarios where he's been mistaken for a pet and taken into captivity. He could have been at this for a while, now, treated like an animal and dependent on the kindness of his master(s). Generally not very happy with his situation. )

Konoka Konoe | Mahou Sensei Negima | OTA

[im_gonna_heal_u]

[[Either, but leaning pet.

As a pet, Konoka's probably some form of catgirl, though given her default nature she would probably act more like a teasing housewife (to someone she's affectionate toward). Looking for someone who'd accept/give her affection and training, and also open to other pet ideas.

As a master, she's likely to respect her pets wishes provided that they accept her affection, whether or not it's romantic/sexual, and don't attempt to walk over her. Will probably prefer a girl if she is both dominant and master.]]

Rusty Beck | Major Crimes | ota | m/m for shipping

[beckin]

[Pet, Abyssinian cat. He was even described in canon as a 'feral cat'. If we also go by his canon history, he was abandoned and lives in the streets as a stray.

At first, he might be difficult to anyone who takes him in, even though he definitely need someone to look after him. He's young, not naive, and will fight his owners or flee if they get violent because Rusty hates being hit. If he's treated with kindness, however, he would become really protective of his owner and much more affectionate.]

Todd the Wraith // Stargate Atlantis

[commandshumor]

[ooc: Master. Will likely buy/adopt you for simple company more than anything else as Wraith are very social. Set on earth, post taking the gene therapy so he doesn't feed on humans. Will be strict but not violent. If you want to try him as a pet, he'll be a stray white fox. OTA if you're looking for shipping or smut, but not a necessity.]

Liling 'Lily' Yang | Mage: The Ascension | M/F

[splendidphoenix]

[ An expensive fancy bird. Kink preferred. Most interested in All Sex All the Time, Breaking In, Breeding, and Pet Show.

OR;

A cool reluctant master with a heart of gold. Prompt-wise, True Bond, Guard, Heat, Territorial, Instant Attraction, Dominant Pet, and Jealousy all look good. ]

[inheritstheredsouls]

((Pet!Liling with the prompts "For Your Protection" and "Breaking In"? Could offer this older hero-type up to take her in to help protect her from evil threats, and going thru with the training in order to help both of them settle into their new roles.))

Keith | Voltron: Legendary Defender

[dps]

[Because why not?]

reborn | katekyou hitman reborn | ota for gen and shipping

[sunsette]

((ooc: as a pet reborn is a very proud, willful, tall, dark, mysterious raven-magpie crossbreed with a penchant for stealing/hoarding shinies (like coins. and hair barrettes. and guns if you let him outside. lots and lots of guns), but is otherwise very well-behaved. other options include: being prone to running away (or trying to) if he finds his current master overly boring and dull, often found in the company of the local gang mob, might be wanted for thievery and being a general menace on account of hoarding so many firearms. adopt with caution. feathery hair and optional wings/removed/clipped wings. probably can't fly.

prompts interested in: Petting, Instant Attraction, Territorial, Young Master/Older Pet, Family Pet, For Your Protection, Stray, or others if you have an idea!

as a master, he is stern but not violent, protective, open to physical affection if the pet is as well. he'd be looking for or have a pet that is already trained, comfort-oriented, possibly therapeutic. might spoil them rotten. favours reptiles.

no preferences for master prompts. Dominant Pet might be interesting though. Stray is also a possibility, but may require discussion if they don't fit any of the above categories.

NOT INTERESTED IN: Breaking In, Breeding, Pregnancy, All Sex. these go for pet and master. for anything involving smut, would prefer the other party also be of age or preferably older, since i do play reborn as within the late 20s-30s range. he is otherwise Very Good With Kids (y'know, by KHR logic, meaning sort of but not really).

feel free to PM to discuss things. 8U ))

who needs prompts when youre cinder fall.

[igniferi]

( the penthouse was not hers to claim, but the view was exquisite and offered a great vantage point for watchful eyes and a methodical mind. the amenities weren't bad either. perhaps her only complaint was that the former would-be owner of the place was still in the tub (lifeless, limp) and the door on the way in was left hanging ajar -- lock melted and dripping alloy.

a mental note is made to call for someone to at least take care of the former. he's an eyesore in an otherwise lovely scenery. she'd always hated looking at cowardly rats.

her footsteps are distinctive when she walks the length of the floor-length windows, appreciative fingertips skating along the smooth surface, a staccato of glass chiming comes with every step, stark against the approaching ones.

she only tips her head to acknowledge the new presence, a simmering tone coating her words. )

i found something you might like. ( when she gestures, it's towards a counter. sitting pretty was a cherry wooden box emblazoned with intricate carvings and pyrographic details. inside would seem to hold a pistol. old world and still tepid. ) it still works, if you were curious. it's previous owner tried it on me.

consider it a gift, you've already given me plenty and i haven't once repaid it.

( when amber irides flick away from reborn, it's towards the floor where empty casings and crushed bullets lay. thoughtful. )

ah, and we'll be staying here for now. the last place has been compromised.

Elphelt Valentine ❤ Guilty Gear ❤ OTA

[travailler]

( As a pet: a jittery but attention-hungry bunny. She is cute, but probably causes more than a little trouble for her master due to being affectionate and energetic.

As an owner: Airheaded and forgetful, but loves her pet(s) so much. She is definitely the type to gush about her pets and treat them like family. The pet may need to be the more responsible one now and again.

Either way, she would have an interest in the forbidden romance. )

Athras Lavellan | Dragon Age M/M for ships Any for gen

[nohallaback]

((ooc: He's a rather mischievous Bengal, have fun with that folks!

Not interested in pet play, all sex, breeding, or pregnancy. Mixing jealousy in would be kind of hilarious because whoops were you trying to get something done because that there is a very fussy cat demanding all of your attention now.))

Meriadoc Brandybuck | The Lord of the Rings | Closed

[bemerry]

[ Merry isn't sure what to do with it, actually. It's rather large, and scaly, and sort of showed up on his doorstep. Reminds him of some sort of dream-memory, not that he could pull the particulars now. Oh well, regardless of whatever it was that his mind is trying to tell him, there is no good in being rude. ]

Well, come on in, then.

[ Why is there a giant-ass snake on his lawn. Why is Merry the one who gets all the problems. ]

[lordof]

[well, at the very lease, it can.. talk?]

..Aren't you a tad too welcoming? [a raised eyebrow.] I don't think I'd fit in there.

[not that he wouldn't like to. it seems very cozy in this person's house. and it smells like good food, which is what had drawn him here in the first place... probably.]

Stiles Stilinski - Teen Wolf - M/M

[runningwithwolves]

(Pet. He is a fox. He plans to annoy any master that tries to tame him.)

Vincent Law/Ergo Proxy // Ergo Proxy // OTA

[theworldunwinds]

[ooc: Pet only. Vincent - m/m and is a deer pet, Ergo - ota and is a dragon. You can pick one or the other or both. PM me with any questions, kinks are in the journal.]

Karen Minazuki | Yes! Pretty Cure 5 | f/f

[oceanicbutterfly]

[As an owner, Karen is kind, and if she's not particularly affectionate, it's only out of awkwardness. In theory she has established strict rules for her pet's behavior, but in practice she's too concerned about being a friend to properly be a master, and is something of a pushover as a result.

As a pet, Karen is a cat, and like many cats, she clearly considers herself the only competent person in the household, and has probably decided she's in charge of her owner's finances and the like. Also like many cats, she is very weak to being pet.]

Bucky Barnes | MCU | OTA

[formerweapon]

[Pet. Would love to play with a WS!Buck mindset with him with either cat features or wolf features.]

[elans]

[ hmm with ws mindset you mean what in specific? ]

Khloe Aliapoh || Final Fantasy XIV || OTA

[wondroustail]

[Khloe is a rather adventurous catgirl. So... that kind of defaults to her being the pet here.

BUT if you want her to be the owner, she definitely has a thing for.... curiosities and oddities. So she would definitely collect a pet if one were available.]

jumin han | mystic messenger ( m/m )

[winetasting]

[ Owner. While he's pretty distant and level with most of the people in his life, even those he cares about, his pet will be on the receiving end of most, if not all, of his affection. His pet will have full rein of his penthouse, but will be on the other side of possessive behavior.

Would prefer the pet to be a cat and 21+. ]

[sacrifeyes]

[I dunno if you need another thread with li'l old me, but would you want to do something with Jumin taking V in after Rika throws him out? I can write a starter.]

Princess Allura | Voltron: Legendary Defender | Open but no smut

[paladinprincess]

[Owner or Pet. As a pet she's mouselike, even if still very tall and strong. Very loyal, if skittish at first from not being incredibly socialized.]

Thancred Bladesong | FFXIV | Open; No Smut

[censorshipnutkin]

[Owner or Pet. Totally a nutkin if a pet. Because canon reasons.]

[arcaniststaff]

[ Urianger wasn't the sort to reveal he was a pet to many. But he still mourned the loss of his Bond. So, today, he has actually come to Thancred... and just sort of. Sat on him. Giving him a Look. No words. Grumpy Sad Carbuncle is just not knowing how to express, okay. ]

Sara Sidle | CSI | OTA

[cannonwithagun]

[Owner or pet. Probably a fox as a pet, because actress jokes.]

Haurchefant | Final Fantasy XIV | OTA

[shieldless]

[ Owner or pet. As a pet, probably a bit horse-like. Because Unicorn Friend. As a pet, he's a guard one...

But also oddly affectionate. ]

[wondroustail]

[...Hi! :D]

Ziva David | NCIS | OTA

[4letters4ninja]

[Either side. Although if she's the pet, she's probably a ninja style one, who hides a lot until she's used to her owner.]

Urianger | Final Fantasy XIV | OTA

[arcaniststaff]

[ Owner or pet. As a pet, however, he tries to pass as a person so he can read and nerd out. Even if he's a lizard person. Or, he could also be a Carbuncle-person. I mean, those goggles can easily hide a forehead gem.
And as an owner? He needs therapy pets. ]

Lexaeus/Aeleus (feel free to specify canon point) || Kingdom Hearts || OTA

[the_earths_salt]

Owner or pet, either works! Open for gen, shippy, or smutty, M/M or M/F. As an owner, he's quiet, gentle, and kind, but firm about discipline--until he gets too attached, and then he's a little too indulgent for his own good. He'd adopt strays, accept gifted pets, nurse wounded ones back to health, and probably be able to find some use for "working" breeds.

As a pet, he's incredibly loyal and usually obedient, and generally gets very deeply attached to and protective of his master. He could be any number of things--possibly a draft horse like a Clydesdale, a guard dog, or even a gargoyle that his owner thought was a statue? Feel free to pitch ideas my way, or come up with something yourself, and chances are I'll be able to roll with it.

Will || Pokémon || OTA

[twistedempathy]

Pet or owner, either is fine; open for gen, shippy, or smutty, M/M or M/F, whatever works. Will is a very bouncy, cheerful, playful sort--as a pet, he's needy and attention-seeking, and prone to get underfoot or into mischief if he's not being properly catered to. As an owner, Will tends to pamper and dote all over his pets--but if he's still a trainer in this AU, he also expects to be obeyed, and is firm about rigorous training and discipline.

Feel free to pick a Pokémon form or an animal form for the pets, depending on where you want the AU to be set! And to play with whether pet people are distinct from or replace normal Pokémon, Pokéballs and battles and all. Will could feasibly be nearly any Psychic type, especially an Espeon or a Xatu; as a normal animal, possibilities include cat, fox, raccoon, ferret, and crow. Toss whatever ideas you have at me, or just write a starter with whatever you've got in mind, and we'll figure out a way to make it work!
