the marks humans leave are too often scars

[fatherallthechange]

the s c a r s meme

Most everyone has some sort of scars. Some are from happy accidents. Some are from events you'd rather not speak about. But sometimes, two people can share a moment over scars: Be it friendly, romantic, or with a complete stranger. These are those moments.


01. new: the scar is fairly new. maybe you still need to do something to make sure it heals more properly. maybe you're just worried about the new scar that's appeared on someone you care about.
02. discovery: you've just had someone find out about your scars, or you've just accidentally learned that the other person has scars. do you say something, or let the moment pass uncommented on?
03. shame: maybe you're ashamed of your scars. maybe you want someone else to know that there's no need to hide their scars around you.
04. show: you're proud of your scars, or at least you don't see a reason to keep them covered-- never have, or not anymore. or maybe someone is showing you their scars for the first time.
05. story: it's time to talk about the story behind your scars. or, perhaps, it's time to listen to someone tell you about how they came about their scars.
06. touch: maybe you want someone to touch your scars so you can remind yourself you're still here. maybe you want to touch their scars because you want to show them you don't mind them.
07. attraction: you've heard that people like someone with scars, so you're flaunting them, or you're the person very attracted to someone with scars. 
08. kiss: letting this person kiss your scars may be a moment of extreme vulnerability, or just something you like. kissing someone else's scars may be just what you need to do to show someone how much you care. 
09. soulmate: you live in a world where your soulmates scars appear on your own skin. what's that like?
10. other: wildcard option.

Rachel Caustello | House of Cards OC

Has fairly big scars on right shoulder and another on side. Others along abdomen and legs, some on back. Smaller nicks on hands. A few more scars across chest, and surgery scars on back.

Bumblebee } Teen Titans

[notabeeotch]

Elliot Reynolds | House of Cards OC

[meonmyway2stealurgirl]

[Whip scars on his back are the most prevalent; self harm scars on his wrists the second most.]

Harry Potter

[isawizard]

[do u really need to ask]

Remus Lupin | hp | ota

[lunisolar]

[He has...... a lot. Clawmarks all over his limbs, torso, back, and face, a very distinctive (and old) bite mark on his shoulder, some assorted spell damage..... mostly it's the werewolf scars.]

[sunburning]

[ backflips into this comment, whatchu feelin boo ]

Sirius Black } Harry Potter

[effingsirius]

[Hogwarts: Scars on his torso, arm and hands from cuts that didn't heal quite properly, as well as some from full moon shenanigans.

First Wizarding War: Above + mild burn scars from spells that barely missed. Later in the war, scars on his legs and right wrist from broken bones during torture.

If after Azkaban, above + self-inflicted scars with the names of his loved ones and several apologies on arms/legs.]

Re: Sirius Black } Harry Potter

[waddiwasi]

[Heeey any interest in threading with a Remus? I can play him at any of the ages you mentioned - maybe we can have them doing some basic healing on one another after they beat each other up during a full moon?]

Marie Kreutz l The Bourne Series l OTA

[reluctantaccessory]

Archie Kennedy | Hornblower | a general cw for him

[betteralready]

[ooc: /cue hollow laughter

Scars from physical and sexual abuse, canings, floggings, swordfights, and the occasional being shot at]

/slides in briefly

[midship]

[when in the world]

Peter Quill | Guardians of the Galaxy

[volumeone]

[Probably has some burns and knife scars from his Ravager days and now Guardian stuff. Okay with gen or shipping]

[clouded_moon]

2? 5? 6? fine with gen or ship, can AU him into Peter's canon, Izumo has plenty of scars himself. I can start if you like.

Bucky Barnes | MCU

[missionreport]

[Has scars across his body from missions but the biggest one is where his real shoulder ends and his metal arm begins. That said, I'd prefer to play out Bucky paying attention to someone else's scars. Either as Winter Soldier mode or post-Winter Soldier. ]

[arachnaism]

( once upon a time, before I died due to work, I think we threaded? If so, want to give it another go? still kind of slow but more time now )

Izuku Midoriya | My Hero Academia | M/M

[freckledsunshine]

[He has scars all over his body, but mostly his hands. Castmates preferred for shipping.]

frank castle ☠ mcu

[doles]

m/f for shipping

Re: frank castle ☠ mcu

[promisespromises]

[Down to cross-MCU canon?]

jyn erso || rogue one || ota

[made_of_stars]

[ooc: so many scars, physical and emotional.]

marian hawke / dragon age

[redtailedhawke]

[ warrior Hawke with her fair share of scars, since she didn't always have that fancy Champion warplate to protect her, and plenty are visible when she's wearing casual clothing like the estate housecoat. arrow wounds, dagger slashes, electrocution sites from a mage's chain lightning, you name it. especially prominent is the huge one straight through her belly and out her back from the Arishok's blade. y'all know what i'm talkin about. 100% willing to be the one paying attention to another's scars tho! ]

[veined]

[leans... how do you feel about a second thread while i still owe you on the first one? maybe at the hawke mansion?]

cassian andor || rogue one || m/f

[rebellionbuilt]

[ooc: super voice-testing, but tentatively ota canonmates. so many scars, physical and emotional both.]

[ladyofficerfriendly]

[ ooc: up for it? ]

JJ (63!Jughead Jones) | Riverdale

[damagedloner]

[most of her scars are psychological but she probably has a few physical ones, too.]

warden-commander amell / dragon age

[warden_enchanter]

[ guess who's a BLOOD MAGE! scars all on her arms and her throat from ripping herself open when mana gets low. generally covered by a scarf and gloves just to keep people from annoying her about it, but not always... (also willing to be the one paying attention to another's scars) ]

Derek Lockwood | Original | OTA

[doctricis]

[ Besides the obvious one across his nose, he has scars from physical abusive and his own carelessness on his back, torso and arms. ]

Nebula || MCU/Guardians of the Galaxy

[promisespromises]

[Basically all the scars.]

[theycalledmeacurse]

[ Would you be interested in some Marvel multiverse shenanigans? I've got Rogue here who I tend to take from the end of X-Men: Days of Future Past (if you haven't seen it, basically apocalyptic future of mutant genocide) and more often than not I plop her into the MCU via Marvelesque insert weird but totally plausible explanation here. ]

Thea Queen l Arrow

[redarrowqueen]

(Besides the typical wounds expected for an action canon there's also an in canon stab wound scar thanks to Ra's Al Ghul plus plenty of emotional ones. M/F for shipping and OTA for DCTV/family for gen. Canon through crossover but mun is current.)

Scarecrow | Batman Arkham Knight | ota

[doctor_terror]

[His face is all torn up, which he hides behind the mask. Headcanon that he has scars on his torso and leg from when Killer Croc attacked him.]

[itistolaugh]

[I play Harley from the preboot comics and am only familiar with the first Arkham game, but I will do my best to match up!]

Harley had been staring at Scarecrow for some time now. It was unusual for her to stay so focused on, well, anything for any length of time, but something was clearly on her mind now. And that was almost never a good thing.

"Hey," she said, which was all the warning he got before she crawled over the table and shoved her fingers under the scraps of burlap. It was an egregious breach of boundaries, but apparently she was in a particularly self destructive mood today. Her thumb pressed against the ravaged flesh around his mouth.

"Can you still whistle like that?"

Dr. Angela 'Mercy' Ziegler ⛨ Overwatch ⛨ OTA

[watching_over_you]

*Angela's scars are up her the back of her neck, spine and, over her shoulders like wings where she's sustained damage wearing her Valkyrie suit.

Also she might have some bullet wounds and cuts from being constantly targeted by enemy teams.*

arthur | king arthur: legend of the sword

[tender]

Sherlock Holmes || Sherlock BBC || m/m

[desecrated]

[[ooc: physical and mental scars. Physical scars are mostly on his back and having to do with physical affection. He might not have a problem giving physical affection but receiving it is difficult.

It's probably easier to say what doesn't have a scar than what does.]]

Les Madsen | OC

[formula86ed]

[Les is loosely based on the Narrator from Roald Dahl's The Witches. He's something of a monster hunter cleverly disguised as a professor of mythology and folklore at the local college. He's got tattoos and scars both: small white defensive scars on his forearms and the backs of his hands, a burn mark on his left hip marring one tattoo, four long, roughly healed claw marks across his stomach, and a raised keloid scar on his back right shoulder. Definitely some mental scars too, what with that whole "I was turned into a mouse as a child by witches" thing.]

[oneilyoudidnt]

[ Whoa, he's crazy interesting! Would you be okay with April having taken one of his classes as an elective, and now they're sort of friends? She's currently a journalist for the local news, if that makes any difference--I figure Les' subject was one of her guilty pleasure "taking this out of pure interest" subjects. ]
