Kissing Scars

[dispairages]

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.

Thea Queen l Arrow

[redarrowqueen]

(M/F and can go either way depending on canon points/pairings. Current through the DCTV crossover (but ignores the bloodlust arc) and passing on smut.)

[reapin_it]

[ I'd be down if you wanna do something. We can do any era you want and it can go both ways, a little mutual support would be cool.
I'm a bit new to this dw and comms so I didn't just jump right in;; ]

Clan Techie | Dredd (2013) | OTA

[peach_trees]

Morrigan | Dragon Age

[courtintrigue]

(Either role's fine and making it mutual is always cool with me. I'll be happy to detail scars when they come up. No Wardens, please.)

Andrew Minyard | All for the game

[mtherfcknmonster]

Grace Ford | OC

[barre_none]

[The only scars she has are on her feet and ankles, so she's probably going to be the kisser. Y'know. Unless your character's into that.]

Rey | SW: TFA | OTA

[thesefirststeps]

[ooc: Small electrical burns, scrapes, bruises, things like that. Totally up for being the kisser, too.]

sirius black / hp

[thedogfather]

[ happy with either role. he likely only has noticeable scars himself post-azkaban, though! ]

sam wilson | mcu | ota

[wingedman]

[ Probably some small scars, larger emotional ones, but most likely to be the kisser. ]

Inej Ghafa | Six of Crows

[onmyfeet]

[First book canon points only or AUs!]

harry potter - hp - ota

[scarstoproveit]

Credence Barebone | Fantastic beasts and where to find them

[thebarebones]

[While he could probably do both roles, Credence is far too shy, awkward and wary to start the kissing.

After more than a decade of parental abuse, his body is covered with scars, specially belt marks in his back and the palm of his hands. Life hasn't been kind to him and neither was his adoptive mother.]

Rey || Star Wars: The Force Awakens || F/M

[talentedscavenger]

[ooc: scratches, cuts, small burns, and bruises.

Could do either role, but she would need a push to start kissing.]

Sarah Manning || Orphan Black || M/F

[cloneororiginal]

[ooc: Up for either role. Light scars from some fights when she was younger.]

Sherlock Holmes || Sherlock BBC || m/m

[desecrated]

[[ooc: up for either, mind he's been through quite a hell of his own, a gunshot scar on his chest, and a landmine of a roadmap on his back, he's also - liable to have self-inflicted injection sites but they'll be hard to find even if one is looking.]]

Kei Tsukishima - Haikyuu!! - ota

[itsjustanaccount]

[Either way is fine, although the physical scars are less serious and just typical sports anime fare. Mental is where it's at (although similar can be said of those). Character info in journal.]

Chris Argent | Teen Wolf | ota

[griefbeard]

[ he has many scars from a lifetime of hunting stuff and things. he has a very noticable scar on his stomach as long with minor scars across his body. ]

Alistair | Dragon Age | OTA

[fatherlesskind]

[Either role. He has a number of scars himself from being stabbed, arrows to the knee, etc.]

[ichaer]

( ooc: Let me know if this doesn't work for you! )

[ Despite her carefree attitude, scars has always been a tender subject for Ciri especially the one that deeply marred and had disfigured her cheek. In truth there is no lost love for them which is likely why she did everything to avoid drawing attention to them in her daily life. She wore both armor and hair in certain ways which allowed her to better hide them from view.

Perhaps that is why she finds it so odd now that they also fascinate her in some strange way... well, the ones that were not her own anyway.

After all, she cannot deny that they all had some story attached them and each of them were different. Some were far off reminders of childhoods gone while others came from events that could have ended much, much worse. She likes the stories that make her laugh while trying to imagine what ridiculous situation must have occurred to end up with the scar.

That is why she has always enjoyed Alistair's company (and stories) whenever their paths crossed while working missions for their Warden superiors. Although the night is chilly, the camp fire is warm and Ciri has his arm resting in her lap as her finger traces a shiny, pale scar on his forearm. It reminds her of the scar on her own forearm and she looks up at him with a raise of her brow, offering a half smile. ]

Is there a good story behind this one?

Kamizuki Izumo | Naruto | OTA

[clouded_moon]

Either role works! He's a ninja, he's got lots of scars~

Re: Kamizuki Izumo | Naruto | OTA

[warubble]

Things not to do when visiting foreign countries: get drunk. Things really not to do while visiting foreign countries on diplomatic missions (his father would kill him): start having contests to see who had the most/best scars.

At least this hadn't started in the bar itself. That would simply be in bad taste. "And here someone tried to scalp me. From Mist. Doesn't make a great scar, but fuck if it didn't hurt." Fennel was the happiest and most expansive drunk, and he wasn't that drunk. He was just tipsy enough to think this was all a fun and spectacular idea, and not really consider what a bad idea showing old injuries off to someone was.

When your specialty was hand-to-hand combat, you had some of the best scars.

Amos Moses | OC | OTA

[amos_moses]

Either role, he has a few scars himself as a yakuza member. Platonic or smut perfectly fine by me!

Newt Scamander | Fantastic Beasts | OTA

[wellwisher]

[His body is littered with scars after taking care of a variety of magical creatures. While he can do either role, he's a bit hesitant when it'll come to him being the kisser.]

ciri | the witcher | ota

[ichaer]

( covered in a variety scars over her body from a lifetime of hideous events and monster fighting. either role works for her! )

hanako 'rosalina' nurumi; oc; ota

[hasitsthorns]

(( ooc; rosie has quite a few prominent scars on her back and inner thigh. a lot of little ones little her body, too, but! she can be the kissed or the kisser, tbh ))

edward elric ▪ fma cos

[alchimia]

[ ooc: can be either, but lbr ed has a lot of scars. most prominent is the scar tissue around his automail ports. ]

[soultransfer]

[ Al's pretty pristine thanks to fresh body, so Ed gets the pampering this day. ]
