THE BATHROOM MEME
(split into gen and romance-oriented prompts for your convenience.)
GENERAL.
I. shower/bath. } it's been a long day, or maybe just the beginning of one, and drenching yourself in hot water sounds like just the thing. but maybe the phone rings at the wrong moment, or your asshole comrade/sibling/friend/whoever decides you've had enough time to get clean and flushes the toilet while the water's still running. are you out of soap? did the last person to use the tub forget to replace the empty shampoo bottle, or leave water all over the floor? anything goes!
II. shaving. } shaving is a necessary component of one's personal hygiene, and everyone has their own grooming ritual. or at least, we hope they do: there's always at least one person who has to be tied down and trimmed or nagged into picking up a razor. maybe you're swearing after nicking your legs, or chin, or....elsewhere. perhaps it's time for an adult to teach their child/ward/whathaveyou the fine art of wielding a sharp blade near sensitive bits.
III. hair (and hair accessories). } hair! we all have it (or did at one point) and so spend quite a bit of time brushing, braiding, dyeing, styling, or otherwise engaging with it. which of these options are happening today? are you comparing beards, or trying to undo a poorly-thought out dye job before someone else enters the bathroom? maybe the other person is a hairbrush thief, or screwed with that scented oil you like to rub into your gorgeous locks every morning. do you have hideous bedhead? with hair, the sky's the limit.
IV. freshening up. } you feel pretty, oh so witty, or are striving to make yourself that way in any case. the world can be quite tough when it comes to beauty standards, after all! so slap on that lipstick, apply your manly-as-fuck deodorant, and don't forget to straighten that tie or smooth down your skirt while you're at it. unless.....oh, your friend's cat got into your supply of blush? your roommate decides it'd be funny to mock your choice of using rhino piss as an expression of masculinity? sometimes touching up can be a real chore.
V. misc/wildcard. } don't care for any of these prompts? whip up your own!
SHIPPING.
I. shower/bath. } remember all that stuff about a hot soak sounding awesome? well, it can be even better with the right company - someone that can make you purr when they rub shampoo into your hair, or gently scrub you all over, or anything else both of your hearts desire! just don't slip.
II. shaving. } the act of shaving someone else can be a very intimate experience, regardless of whether the clothes or robe come off. the one being tended to is entrusting the fate of their legs/face/other places to the one with the razor, who then can get quite worshipful in their ministrations. (or vindictive, if that's how the two of you roll.)
III. hair (and hair accessories). } like with shaving, allowing another person to mess with your hair can have significant romantic undertones. it can feel rather pleasurable to let them have their way with it, both from the sensation itself as well as the sheer rush of affectionate warmth that comes from the knowledge that they're doing this because they care about you. of course, it's not a good idea to annoy them while in this kind of vulnerable position, you wouldn't want to tempt them into giving you a good yank - lover or no lover.
IV. freshening up. } it's time for that other person to have the job of plucking your eyebrows, spraying you with AXE, or doing up that last stubborn button. are they reluctant, or willing? competent, or so eager (or apathetic) that they fuck it all up? your call.
V. misc/wildcard. } second verse, same as the first.
