None of your scars make me love you less

[repost]

The Kissing Scars Meme

Despite the romanticism surrounding the emotion, it can be difficult to be loved completely — not just the beautiful parts of us, but also the sad parts, the injured parts, the hidden and less-than-pleasant parts. There are marks on us, both physical and mental, that we'd often rather forget. The mental ones can just be easier to hide. As for physical scars, they can be off of our minds some of the time, but that's exceedingly hard to do in more intimate, close moments. Whether it's to your dismay or otherwise, your partner is not looking away and ignoring your scars. To the contrary, they're providing attention in a way most heavily associated with tenderness: kissing. It may be an accidental slip off target, or they may be trying to show you that what you've done and who you've been don't matter to them now. Does the gesture touch you? Make the walls come up once again because of the memories that are dredged from somewhere you'd rather no go? A mixture of both? The wound has long closed, yet the pains remains; these days, however, there's someone who may be willing to help you bear it. Reply with the usual: canon, character, preferences, et al. You may also want to say if you're down for smut or not, since it's not a given. Be sure to include what side you'd like your character to play. Mention if you can do both the kisser and the kissed. Also, feel free to talk about your character's scars. Reply to others.

Goodnight Robicheaux | Magnificent Seven (2016) | OTA

[intheashes]

[ He's got quite a few of them from the War, but he can also be the kisser. ]

Jo Harvelle | Supernatural

[tobeclosetohim]

[ Depending on canon or AU, Jo has many or none. But. She, also, comes from a life where everyone around her has them, and she has feelings and respects for them. ]

Rey | SW: TFA | OTA

[thesefirststeps]

[ooc: Probably the kisser, although she does have smaller scars, like electrical burns, cuts & scrapes.]

Sherlock Holmes || Sherlock BBC || m/m

[howdidyouknowabout]

[OOC: y/n? We know John has a few scars, one more notable than others.]

Sam Winchester l Supernatural l ota

[notarambler]

[Sam has all sorts of scars, his life is made up of them.]

LEONARD SNART ( CAPTAIN COLD ) | DCTV | OTA

[theonlycaptain]

[ abusive father who hit him a lot when he'd come home punch drunk so he's got some scars. Cast mates only for this because there's only a very small amount of people in his life he'd ever let touch him so familiarly . ]

Erik Lehnsherr l X-Men Films l ota

[brotherhoodeirk]

[Erik is scar city, but this can also be a mutual things]

mutual scars because Kurt

[mindseye]

Charles understood the benefits of sharing a room, especially in this day and age. He didn't think that Erik would let him have his own space anyway. He stood looking at himself in the mirror of the bathroom.

He swallowed audibly as he traced the lines down his arms with his eyes. Kurt was always fond of the belt. He took a deep breath and walked out into the other room.

"Sorry for taking so long, I forgot my shirt," Charles spoke quietly, not looking at Erik, but grabbing a shirt quickly throwing on but leaving it undone.

Tony Stark l MCU l ota

[notonmyspace]

[The armor protects only so much. And he's a little shy about admitting this.]

[redhourglass]

( ooc: interested? maybe natasha doing the kissing, came across him without the armor / with scars visible on accident? post civil war? )

Clint Barton/Hawkeye | MCU | OTA

[eyeofthehawk]

[Abusive father, abusive mentor and now the only truly vulnerable human within the Avengers, of course there are scars littering that breakable body.]

[shelbycobra]

[Gives him a hug. Because hi there.]

adam milligan ( spn )

[undug]

( he has a few, from being eaten or from hell etc. )

mercy ( overwatch )

[fieldmedics]

[comingupexplody]

[This is late for this meme, sorry, but I'm a sucker for mercyrat-- any chance you wanna give it a shot?]

noah czerny ( trc )

[schnapps]

aria ( original )

[utter]

( her transformation left her with a few, or she could do the kissing )

natasha romanoff | mcu

[chernyy]

[ she's got a few scars herself so it could easily go either way. ]

[redwitched]

[ any interest in wanda? ]

cullen rutherford / dragon age

[ex_through845]

[paigetrevelyan]

((ooc: would you mind an Inquisitor?))

Harry Osborn › Spider-Man

[goblinjr]

( the right side of his face, neck, and shoulder are disfigured and scarred over from exposure to a pumpkin bomb (or it can be something else if you want to au it). alternatively, he could be the one kissing scars if you like. )

[utter]

( do you mind ocs at all? c: )

Mei | Overwatch| OTA

[plumpopsicle]

((More likely the one kissing. Most of her scarring is mental.))

[thatssirtoyou]

It's their second night in Lijiang and Jack's starting to think they might not need a third. Intel has Talon pegged for a strike at Lucheng's control center sometime in the next 48 hours, but now the Shimadas have turned this feud into a three-way dance and it's looking like Talon might be too busy with that hornet's nest. Winston is still worried, so Jack has the team split up at the neighboring hotels by the Night Market for at least another evening. Lena and Hana pair off in one, while Winston and Angela take another, and soon the city's nightscape comes to life and the hours tick by, all quiet.

That leaves Jack alone with Mei. In a hotel room.

The mission - might have to wait until morning.

Room service was an idea, until the stress of the last few weeks and the sight of Mei slipping out of her coat in front of that night-lit window got the better of him. Granted, Jack isn't sure how he kept his restraint the minute the hotel door closed behind them, but the twilight and the wintry play of light over her face set him off and...well, and now he has her pinned to the wall with a kiss and the way his arms are caging her in don't suggest a dinner break anytime soon.

Back it up, farmboy. He eases up on the kiss, very reluctantly. "Been meaning to do that for a while...ah, hell." He winces at the tiny smudge his cheek has left on the rim of her glasses, grunting out his embarrassment. "Sorry. How do I always do that?"

helena bertinelli, arrow, m/f.

[hxlena]

( helena carries her own various scars from her slews about the city. if caught in a particularly tender mood, she could be the one giving out the kisses, as well. )

dean winchester, supernatural.

[inhellfire]

( prefer m/f for shipping unless otherwise discussed. dean is ridden in scars, so there's an array of places to be kissed / given attention to, should he have let someone in that close. it takes a lot for him to allow that sort of tenderness, or believe he's worthy of it. he's more likely to be the one giving, but i'm up for both! )

[mucked]

( ooc: hi. enjoyed our text thread the other day! wanna do another thread? peggy's got plenty of her own scars, so i'm equally up for both roles. lemme know if you're game and i can put together a starter. )

Morrigan | Dragon Age

[courtintrigue]

(Probably the kisser, but making it mutual is cool. She has a few physical scars of her own that I'll be happy to detail when they come up. No Wardens, please.)

s̶a̶n̶t̶á̶n̶i̶c̶o̶ ̶p̶a̶n̶d̶e̶m̶o̶n̶i̶u̶m̶ kisa | fdtd

[danced]

[ culebras generally don't get left with scars, but she can be the kisser. or since wounds made by xibalbian weapons take longer to heal, maybe they haven't quite yet. ( current with all of s3. ) ]

garrett hawke | dragon age | ota

[hapostate]

[ either role, or something more mutual. if the focus is on his scars, though, he's more likely to brag + make up ridiculous stories about them than anything. (actually he's just as liable to do that for his partner's scars, too.) ]

[glowingbroodyelf]

((ooc: Would you mind a Fenris?))

Kristen Kringle l Gotham

[misskringle]

(Abuse survivor as per canon along with various minor scars, M/F and would prefer DC casts but can AU her as well. Canon through "Knock,Knock" but am canon current.)

Oliver Queen | Arrow

[theterminator]

[ sporting multiple scars thanks to his time on the island. ]

[hxlena]

( up for a helena? )
