❝Appearances Don't Matter❞

Appearances Don't Matter


It all goes so well when people don't see you, so it's easier to hide away. And why wouldn't you want to keep away from the eyes of others? You're hideous to the world at large, despite your own opinions of yourself, no matter if you're human or otherwise. You don't appear to be anything most would want to be around, much less befriend. If you're human, your appearance could be chalked up to mutation, a freak chance at birth, or an accident later in life; if you're not human, you just happen to exist in a place where those who look like you would never be accepted by the mainstream. Maybe it's not even your whole appearance, though. Your point of contention could be something like an injury or prosthetic that makes you feel not whole, though it may be insignificant in the view of the kind and open-minded. There's more comfort in covering that up and not letting anyone get close.

In any case, you don't expect someone to love you, be attracted to you, or even want to be with you, especially a beautiful someone. Yet somehow, somebody does...or, at least, it seems that way. Will this new development last? Can you put your demons at bay long enough for it to do so?

HOW TO PLAY
  • Comment with your character, canon, preferences, and whether or not you want shipping only or smut. Also, information about what side your character fits into best is imperative!
  • Reply to others.
  • Use the RNG to determine your prompt or choose your own.


PROMPTS
  1. Meeting | You've never seen anyone who doesn't balk at your appearance, but they don't.
  2. Growing Close | It starts as a friendship or an alliance, the grows to- more?
  3. Jealousy | There's no way they could see you as anything special. Surely, they have someone more handsome or beautiful in their sights.
  4. Realizing Feeling | At first, you didn't realize how your heart was feeling just by them being around, but now it's becoming clear: you're falling for them.
  5. Can't Tell Them | You'll ruin your bond with them should you tell them how you really feel. They'll be disgusted, so you'll keep mum.
  6. Touch | They touch you without a hint of distaste, which could be a big plus compared to what you usually deal with.
  7. No Difference | Actually, they can't tell that you're different, due to lack of vision or something similar. All they can discern is your personality.
  8. The Way It Used to Be | You didn't use to look this way, and it's hard to come to terms with your new look and how it affects
  9. Confession | You can't keep in your emotions anymore, or they accidentally get revealed.
  10. Good | They share your feelings! You never could have imagined this, but you couldn't ask for more.
  11. Bad | ...oh, you thought they...oh, they're so sorry.
  12. Scared | "Friendship" nor a "relationship" was never on their mind. In fact, they're scared of you.
  13. Cruel | All of their supposed kindness was actually just them using you for their benefit. To think, you really believed they cared about you!
  14. Defense | They step on the line for you, standing up to those who'd consider you a monster or somehow lesser.
  15. Uncovered | You're exposed and they can see everything you've tried to hide. You want to crawl into a hole and die. They want to keep you from feeling that way.
  16. Shouldn't Be | People oppose your relationship, and there may be some points to the arguments.
  17. Intimacy | Even being close, which most take for granted, could be a new and possibly uncomfortable event for you.
  18. Smut | The obligatory smut option, with all the baggage, angst, and difficulties that may come with it.
  19. Misunderstanding | You heard them insinuate that you're nothing but the ugly outside, or, at least, that's what you think came out.
  20. Bad End | The messy breakup option...or worse.
  21. Good End | The happy ending option...or better.
  22. WILDCARD

[well, he's not hideous, but he isn't a pretty boy. i'm thirsty tonight. here's a kinklist, and i could play any of these prompts, canon or AU]

[ In actuality, they're both pretty much losers in their own way and at least that common ground, but Gintoki had the benefit of being taller, more muscular and probably more.. protagonist looking than Osomatsu. In any way, he had formed a friendship with Osomatsu some time ago when the large family moved to the Kabukichou district. It was only hospitable— after all, he was the so-called "watchdog of Edo." They seemed to have a good bit of fun together, you know.. drinking, watching girls, sharing jokes, going to the horse races, pachinko (that was actually where they first met.) It was a pretty simple friendship after Gintoki softened up and became more warm which happened faster than anticipated considering Osomatsu seemed more starstruck by him than anything. In any case, they also had stupid quips (such as over who had the most merchandise) and for some reason Gintoki thrived off of that kind of energy.

It was just a typical evening out, this time in their own private karaoke room, and after far too many drinks, Gintoki found himself (and maybe Osomatsu too, who knows) getting a bit too handsy. He definitely was a shallow person by default, but it wasn't uncommon for Gintoki to lead people on or make, well, really bad decisions. He didn't harbor any romantic feelings for Osomatsu that he was aware of, but he would call him one of his very good friends at this point... and one of his popular bad decisions was fucking friends under the influence unfortunately.

He can't really remember how Osomatsu ended up straddled on his lap, both of their warm bodies snuggled up together under the dim karaoke lights. Whatever song of choice had just been on repeat in the background since they both were busy with.. other things at the moment. They were still clothed, but Gintoki's calloused hands held Osomatsu at the waist from under his sweater hoodie. Osomatsu wasn't overweight by any means, but he could feel that bit of softness that cushioned the oldest sextuplets' stomach. Gintoki breaks off the kiss they're exchanging to both take in a breath and look at him with half-lidded eyes. ]


Haaaa? What is this, Osomatsu-kun? Is it from drinking so much beer?
[ He'll even give his stomach a little playful pinch. ]
relieable: (watching harry potter stoned as shit)

omg bless you

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-07 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
[as soon as Gintoki started getting handsy, Osomatsu fell into it completely. he's not used to people touching him. he's not super handsome, he's a virgin, his first kiss was so long ago, and he barely even remembers it. so to have someone, anyone, make advances at him, he's not going to give that up.

especially not when it's freaking Sakata Gintoki. this man was incredible, in Osomatsu's eyes. sure, he may have been a loser in his own right, but he was also cool, funny, handsome. Osomatsu seriously looked up to him. he needed a better role-model, surely, since this one seemed to be taking advantage of his idolatry.

...that was not to say that Osomatsu had a pure mind. he didn't. he could ogle girls just as much as the next guy, and sometimes, he even got a well-deserved punch to the face for it. he and Gintoki had chatted about women before. but now, here they are, feeling each other up instead. Osomatsu is not disappointed in the least.

he hums, leaning forward a bit when Gintoki pinches his stomach]


Is that really something you should be saying to someone you're makin' out with? [his words are slightly slurred, eyes lidded. there is a deep blush spreading across his face, but he doesn't look that embarrassed]

Oi, oiii, I didn't say there's anythin' wrong with it. I'm jus' asking.
[ He moves to just squeeze Osomatsu instead of pinching him. He can't help but tease and embarrass people and sometimes those people just happen to be the people he's making out with; it worked out well for him because he loved teasing people, sexually and not. He stretches his posture upward to catch his partner right at the throat, sealing his lips over his Adam's apple with a sucking kiss before he mutters against him. ]

It's kinda cute, I guess.
[ god, he's really drunk when he's admitting stuff like this.
Unlike Osomatsu, Gintoki lost his virginity a long time ago when he was teenager soldier and they would visit brothels in the cities they were passing through. Osomatsu's experience is not really of Gintoki's concern nor has he really thought about it much; it really didn't matter to him even he joked about having an experienced partner. Depending on the day, he could be very helpful with a first timer and actually got some thrill out of popping their cherries, so to say.

His hands skirt upwards, he's argue to say they're doing it on their own until he's got him right at the chest. ]


Huuuh. You're kinda flat here though.
[ MAYBE CAUSE HE'S A DUDE? Gin obviously knew that he was just giving him a hard time. ]
relieable: (or can you)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-07 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
[fortunately for Gintoki, Osomatsu isn't the least bit offended. he snorts out a lough, tipping his head back so that Gintoki can have complete access to his neck]

Sorry about that. I could grab a couple'a pillows an' stuff 'em down my shirt. [HEHEHE]
naturallywavy: (《117》)

[personal profile] naturallywavy 2018-11-08 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ He's drunk— really drunk. It'll actually be impressive if he can actually follow through and have sex with anyone with how clumsy he is right now. He drags his lips across his partner's neck before speaking against him. ]

Hahaha, no way, no way. Not even pillows can fix what's goin' on with you, man. Hey.
[ He pulls back just enough to give a little space between them and pops open his own shirt a little further. ]

Even Gin-san has got tits! It's fine though.. you're so cute in your own way. I mean that.. I meaaaaaan it.
[ He pushes Osomatsu right on the nose, feeling his body quake as he hiccups. ]

Your ass— it's really good though.
[ this is a mess.. ]
relieable: (your skill is increasing over time)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-08 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
[yes, please call him cute! he's not cute, but he believes he is. he believes it so strongly.

he pulls back enough to grope at Gintoki's chest. so are they making out, or just making more jokes? somewhere in between]


No, I know. [he agrees about his really good ass! even shifting his hips a little in Gintoki's lap] I guess you're not so bad yourself, hotshot.
naturallywavy: (《110》)

[personal profile] naturallywavy 2018-11-09 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Even sober, Gintoki thinks Osomatsu can be pretty cute, but he never would admit it so openly like he did just now. He practically barks out some laughter when he feels Osomatsu's hands on his chest. ]

Oh yeah, oh yeah, squeeze me harder, Matsu-samaaaa!
[ They're definitely making more jokes over making out, but that's fine. It was a very genuine friendship they had.

Anyway, speaking of his ass, Gintoki is just going to reach around and grab him full on right there, pulling him forward and even closer against him, hoping to encourage some more of that movement. ]


I'm a shounen hero, of course I'm not bad.
[ He gives him a tight squeeze before rearing one hand back and giving him a spank. ]

Oi, don't forget it!
relieable: (twist it pull it flick it)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-09 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[wow. wow! there's so much to unpack here. Osomatsu is definitely squeezing, but once Gintoki smacks him he stops, tensing up and squawking. he, uh... he likes that. it's weird, but strangely kind of sexy.

in retaliation, Osomatsu yanks on Gintoki's top while he's pulled towards him, until they are pressing their foreheads together]


Oi, oi. Do shounen heroes usually smack cute protagonists? You better be careful, or I'll file a complaint.
naturallywavy: (《37》)

[personal profile] naturallywavy 2018-11-12 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
File a complaint to who? B*ndai? I ain't scared of'em.

[ His voice has enough challenge into it to be noticeable, but instead, Gintoki is just going to try and wrestle Osomatsu until he can get him under him on the soft sofa they are sharing. ]

What you really should worry about is if we have the late night time slot for what I'm going to do to you.
[ oh.. oh what? ]
relieable: (Default)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-12 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh. hot. Osomatsu's face is as red as his shirt. he is easily moved, barely fighting back at all. their position earlier was good, but this is even better. his eyes are wide for a moment before they narrow playfully, and he rests his hand against Gintoki's cheek]

We should be fine, right? We've got a couple hours. [should they really be doing this in a karaoke room, though? Osomatsu's not even thinking of how unprepared they are. he's drunk, and horny, and the person he admires most has been squeezing his ass and kissing him, and he's so excited]
naturallywavy: (《27》)

[personal profile] naturallywavy 2018-11-13 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's a public place, but they have plenty of privacy here, and somewhere in Gintoki's drunken mind, he thinks this will be fun and okay. They don't have anything, really, to have penetrative sex, but Gintoki has an idea of what could work.

But, they have to kiss and touch a lot more first. He'll start getting to that, peeling himself out of his shirt and putting it aside, sliding out of the yukata enough to it gathers at his waist where his sash holds it. If Osomatsu allows him, he'll start tugging that hoodie off of him. ]


Oi, it won't take long. Better not take long. I ain't paying for another hour of this.
relieable: (my finest lazy stoner moment)

[personal profile] relieable 2018-11-14 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
[how romantic. Osomatsu snorts a laugh anyway, because he wouldn't want to pay for anymore time, either. they are very similar in certain ways.

once his hoodie is removed, Osomatsu sort of oozes back onto the couch, completely relaxed. he's not self-conscious about getting rid of clothes, even though Gintoki looks a lot better than him. check out those muscles.

Osomatsu actually pauses to reach up and feel along Gin's abs. he likes what he sees, certainly, and is only a little bit envious, though he doesn't say so. he doesn't say much at all, just waiting to see what the other man has in store for him]

[So while Snow is a vain little fuck, he do not put the same standard to others. If he likes someone then looks are not that important. To have him realize however that he cares for someone can be a bit tricky. His mind is rather twisted and he have a hard time understanding affection of any healthy kind.]

[ Dabi's the same way in regards to understanding affection, honestly. Like he gets that people feel it, but he just has a hard time feeling it himself since he's so used to just pure physical as a means of escaping. As long as no one's gonna have a problem looking at him or touching him, he doesn't really care for the most part. ]

[ Truth be told, Tenten had always had her assumptions. His past was commonplace and his story was legendary. Dark spots and all. A hero's journey, even an anti-hero like him, could not be counted as one without obstacles and tragedies, after all. (Isn't that how the story always went?) And war was not without its consequences. But nothing could have prepared her for the topography that made up the gnarled mess that his skin had become.

The scars stretched across Ibiki's face and head could be considered minor blemishes by comparison.

Eyes roving across the expanse of his body, the studious side of her resisted the urge to reach out to him, wanting nothing more than to study every inch of his shame - to glean every bit of information she could from them to further her own experimentations. At the same time, the nurturer in her wanted nothing more than to soothe the lingering hurt in the spiderweb of scars left from his past. The ones that haunted him. The ones that reminded him to be strong. But especially the ones that held him back from connecting with the rest of the world; the ones that pushed away everyone who tried to break through those barriers.

She did neither. Instead, Tenten simply clenched her fists tight and set her jaw, pausing her impulses out of courtesy for the man she'd grown to respect. She could at least ask before diving in like a vulture sizing up its prey.
