the arranged marriage meme: is it love or is it just a game?

[anonily]

Marriage for love is a such a modern concept. In the past, marriage was
recognised as a social contract. Unions were entered into for many
reasons: to obtain property, to unite families, to carry on a bloodline,
et cetera. Whatever the reason, congratulations, you're getting married!

HOW IT WORKS:
❧ Post a comment with your character's name, canon, and any preferences.
❧ If there's a specific set of circumstances you like best, set the scene.
❧ Or leave your comment blank and let others use RNG to choose the scenario. Feel free to mix and match.
❧ Please note the prompts below are merely suggestions and you're more than welcome to come up with your own situation.
❧ Have fun!


POSSIBLE REASONS FOR MARRIAGE:
① Station → You come from a royal, noble, or otherwise distinguished family who has chosen a suitable spouse for you.
② Feud → You are being married to put an end to the bitter enmity between your two families.
③ Economics → Your economic state and/or your station will improve through the union, though one of you may be marrying down.
④ Empire → You and your spouse are merging your businesses and/or property to create something more influential or profitable.
⑤ Tribute → You have been offered as a gift or appeasement, alternately you're the spoils of war.
⑥ Bloodline → Carrying on your distinguished family name has fallen to you and the equally well-bred spouse of your family's selection.
⑦ Disapproval → Your marriage has been arranged to keep you away from the person with whom you truly wish to be.

POSSIBLE SCENARIOS:
① First meeting → This is the very first time you're meeting your future spouse.
② Courtship → To get to know each other and encourage affection, your family has approved of you going on dates.
③ Engagement party → Be it a huge, formal affair or a small, intimate get together, you're celebrating (or pretending).
④ Wedding day → The big day!
⑤ Reception → The big party!
⑥ Wedding night → Every meme needs a smut prompt, right?
⑦ Honeymoon → Where will you go with your new spouse and what will you do there?

( ask first before any smut-related scenarios. also if anybody wants to play any scenarios where you're trying to steal mion from her arranged marriage spouse, i welcome it! )

[On paper, it isn't a totally shitty idea. Fuyuhiko can admit that. The Sonozaki clan belongs to a small village and needs a little more influence. The Kuzuryuu clan has a membership passing the hundred thousands and is always looking for new members. Combining them just makes sense.

...Fuyuhiko just wishes they weren't doing it this way. And he especially wishes they weren't doing it this way because an argument with his father veered a little off tangent, and now they have to hitch him off to some chick as quickly as possible before he can get any bright ideas about eloping with his supposed "tool". Or whatever the fuck they think he's going to do.

It's not like he could do that, anyway. He never dared to breach the subject with Peko in the first place. All his family's doing is taking away his option to do that at all.

He's supposed to be getting to know Mion, but honestly? He can't bring himself to give a shit. He's hardly said a word since they arrived at the restaurant, instead opting to stare out the nearby window with his chin resting in one hand. Polite as always.]

( preferred 3 or 6 for the reason for marriage. ask first if you want to do any 18+ options. )

[moon_heroine]

(OoC: Stupid idea, but perhaps do 6 with Usagi with the reasoning that her own magical potential is so high they'll figure out a way to transfer it despite being two girls?)

[A very powerful sorceress (or witch), possibly sold off to another magic user, or someone of royal status...or to keep the peace.

Either way, she isn't pleased. Or, perhaps married for love.]

[enchantressofore]

[[ OoC: I'm all right with however this goes, going into the politics, platonic, smutty, love slowly blossoming after marriage or courtship or whatever, however this may go. In her own OU she is supposed to be the princess of a broken royal bloodline so I could see her stuck in an arranged marriage for that, or we can AU the hell out of it to have something else going on. Please ask about sex first if you want it to be involved. ]]
