Arranged marriage turned more

[priderock]

Arranged Marriage Turned More To have and to hold, you said, till death do us part, all while the sharp, swinging pendulum of obligation hung overhead. But how could you have truly meant those words? This union has been tainted from the start, forever bearing the chains of an arranged marriage. It would be understandable if you couldn't bear to look at your new life partner, eternal reminder of your stolen future that they are, much less like them. Much less love them... Still, things can change. You could realize that they are in the same boat as you or, that when compared to others around you, they are the lesser of evils. Perhaps you even open up to the idea of a friendship; at the very least, an alliance may be in order to become a power couple in a perilous world. From that innocent decision or sense of self-preservation, a new feelings sparks. Something like affection. Something, you realize in the wake of speeding heartbeats, like love. Will you acknowledge this? Can the two of you have a happily ever after - happier than if you'd met in another fashion - or will you hold firm in your distaste? how to play. - Everybody loves "couples forged by less-than-ideal circumstances" tropes! - Comment with your character, prefs, all that good stuff. - Reply to others. - IDEC where you set your threads, it's wide open. Fantasy world with hairy hobbits, old-timey lands, future AUs, do a space marriage for all I care. I'm sure they're still getting married in Star Wars or whatever.

[Inspired by Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and Jumanji: Rhino Run. This version is an actual professor, who is based in the year 1934.]

[danzan]

[ first of all: i love everything about Actual Shelly Oberon god bless you?? second of all: au-ish to forge human-mutant relations? maybe shelly found utopia, an island for mutants, on his adventures, and marries their best fighter so they can return to the world of humans and spread the idea of peaceful coexistence?

orrrr... something. honestly i'm down for anything if you are! otherwise, feel free to ignore. ]

Takane Shijou | The iDOLM@STER | Any

[sorewatopsecret]

[You're not sure what you got yourself into, and everyone seems very secretive about the circumstances of your new partner. All you know from sources and your family members is that:

1. Takane Shijou used to be a rather popular idol singer.
2. She was adopted into the Shijou family as the only daughter.
3. The Shijou family... seems to be something... rather important... and influential...?

Based on rumors and further research, there's several conflicting information on the origins of Takane and her family. The possibilities:

1. She's from a very wealthy, traditional, old money family from Kyoto.
2. She's a royal scion from somewhere in Germany.
3. An alien from the moon????
4. A combination of any of the above???????????
5. ?????????????????????????

Regardless, she seems quite patient and accepting of the arrangement, more out of obligation to fulfill her familial duties than anything. What could fate have in store in your future with this rather... peculiar... person?]

Mollymauk Tealeaf | Critical Role | OTA

[mollymauks]

[Canonmates (including C1) are love, but crosscanon is also welcome! I have the new guy as well as Percy, Vax, and War Mage AU!Caleb, just ask!]

[barnaculled]

[ ooc; Maybe some nasty pirate agreement with the Dwendalian Empire and the Menagerie Coast via Myriad? Husbando being a pirate who Molly almost never has to see except for a few months out of the year? Unless he decides he wants to jump on board...

Alternatively, Molly fakes his way into being a reincarnated prince of Tal'Dorei and has to get a legitimate husband from Wildemount to keep up his ploy? Fjord is a prince of a big tribal barbarian clan that could help him with trade but doesn't want to be married? ]

[[Canonmates of course welcomed. Open to the idea of crosscanon, if anything it would most likely just be a funny match up your call if you wanna marry a terrorist. M/M pref but fine with M/F.]]

fjord | critical role

[barnaculled]

[ ooc; you are a royal who must marry a pirate king to secure your kingdom's trade... or you're making an alliance with a brutal and tribal barbarian clan. I will certainly consider other options. PM if you want!

[ooc: beaus family is having trouble getting their wine trade going overseas and assumes it's because of the pirates ruling their waters so her father decides to marry off his only daughter to ensure his product sells? But really beaus been the one nicking wine shipments and selling them underground?]

Misaki | original character | OTA

[wanderfae]

[Congratulations! You've been wed to a bona fide faerie! If your character can handle fire magic in any capacity, you automatically get bonus points in interesting him.

[Not that typical people have no chance at drawing his attention. He just likes magic and likes using it. He's typically from a modern era, with smartphones and the like, but I can absolutely do your typical fantasy or whatever.

[Please note that he's 4'11", so pretty much everyone is taller than him. Not that he minds. :)]

[quiet_storm]

[Convoluted premise: Cloud dimension-hops to modern era Earth and gets himself trapped somehow. He accepts faerie assistance (fool!) in exchange for an unspecified favor. As a hilarious prank, the rescuer spends that favor and uses whatever leverage they have on Misaki to push them into an arranged marriage.

Cloud would come equipped with fire magic and whatever else is in his materia bracer, plus his crazy modular sword. He is easily fooled by any illusion magic.

[Sent to invade Earth. Part of her mother's plan is for her to masquerade as a human, including getting married to emulate a normal family life and possibly take advantage of her husband/wife's status in some way, even if it's just moderate fame. Will fall in love for reals, going against her mission.

[Bitterblue is a queen, so an arranged marriage is definitely not out of the realm of possibility! Also interested in side-lover drama apart from the marriage.]

[littlemissfutility]

[Within her canon, it'd be easy to justify an arranged marriage to settle a feud between survivors, solidify a merger of communities, a matter of tribute/capture, or to help ensure everyone's got skin in the game for some kind of longterm deal (our meds for your food or w/e). (It'd also probably be be easiest if it's Dawn/Grady Hospital making the deal rather than Rick & co.!) If you've got another idea, or if there's something in your canon that you like the idea of, I'm all in favor! Interested in both canon and cross-canon CR, happy to do things in her world, your character's world, some kind of forced-marriage jamjar, or a complete AU! This is one of my favourite tropes, and I'll gladly play it any way I can.]
