Childhood

THE CHILDHOOD MEME

Childhood. That magical time between infancy and adulthood where you feel invincible. Where you haven't a care or responsibility in the world. It's a time where imagination runs wild and every day is a new adventure waiting to be had.

While there's plenty of fun out there in the world of adults, there's nothing that quite compares to the innocence of those early years. So, grab your juice box, your favorite toy and remember to be back before the streetlights come on.

HOW TO PLAY:

○ This meme is targeted toward the younger end of the age spectrum (15 and under), but that doesn't mean older characters aren't welcome. Does your character have a soft spot for children? Are they typically the type to be the babysitter? Or maybe they're the older sibling being dragged along to keep an eye on the younger one? Aging down is also an acceptable option, haven't we all wondered what our characters would have been like as kids?
○ Comment with your character, canon, preferences, and any other info you'd like to include.
○ Reply to others.
○ Thread and have fun!

1. PLAYGROUND/PARK : The spot where all the best childhood memories are made. Are you playing a game of tag? Are you hanging upside down on the jungle gym? Are you getting into trouble while your mom is catching up on the latest gossip?

2. SCHOOL : The place where 75% of your day is spent and lifelong friendships are forged. Maybe you're in art class, maybe you're at recess, or maybe you're on a school field trip. The possibilities are endless. Just don't be that kid eating paste.

3. MALL : For the kids on the older end of the spectrum. Whether you're at the arcade, whether you're meeting with friends, or whether your parents gave you twenty bucks to get out of their hair, you've got the entire shopping mall at your disposal.

4. CIRCUS : It's the greatest show on earth! Lion tamers! Acrobats! Elephants! Feats meant to stun and amaze you! Cotton candy the size of your head! Are you watching the show from the stands? Or is your family a part of the show?

5. THEME PARK/AMUSEMENT PARK : It's a classic vacation that's fun for the whole family. Are you the roller coaster type? Or are you the type to shy away from the thrill rides and stick to the carousel instead? Keep a hold of someone's hand, though, the only thing that can ruin a day is a lost child in the park.

6. FAIR/FESTIVAL/CARNIVAL : The theme park on a smaller scale. Sometimes the rides are a little shaky, but there's plenty of good deep fried foods and games to be played. Go out and win yourself a goldfish!

7. NEVERLAND : Yes, you read that right. Just like in Peter Pan, it's the magical place where no one has to ever grow up and adults aren't welcome. What kind of adventures will you get into? Remember, it only takes a little bit of fairy dust and good thoughts to fly.

8. WILDCARD : None of these work for you? Go ahead and created your own!

Enter a slightly creepy 8 year old at the playground?

[demoulins]

"Mary Mary quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockleshells
And pretty maids all in a row."

[Marie Molyneux has a bright yellow flower in her hand, and as she sings the rhyme, she plucks petals from the flower. She's wearing a simple red dress and her hair is held back by a ribbon tied neatly into a bow. Her eyes are red.]

"Bloody Mary quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With spider fangs and liar's tongues
And headless maids all in a row!"

[She looks up, grinning, and when she catches sight of Cassian, she waves.]

"Do you want to play? My brother's friends won't play anymore. They were being mean, so I broke Aidan's hand." [She shrugs and drops her petal-less flower to grab a frisbee instead.]

[forceshadowed]

"What if we run away?"

She throws that out there so suddenly, finally putting to words the idea that she's been keeping in mind for several years now. But though she says those words very quietly, they seem to plunge the woods into stillness, everything around her somehow slowing to a screeching halt. For how could she dare speak of a betrayal against the one who would someday be lord of this land?

They've never spoken about it, though it's something that's always been between them, something that's in the back of their minds even as they hold hands and snuggle and kiss in secret. And it certainly isn't what they've been talking about just now, as she sits propped up against a tree, legs outstretched as he tends to the one she'd broken from the climb.

The sky's colors are fading fast, and there's a foreboding chill in the air. It'll be dark soon.

"I don't want to marry him," she whispers, her tone pleading. The princess of Alderaan, Jane of House Organa, may be betrothed to the heir of Winterfell, Robb Stark, but her heart has long belonged to someone else.

01+02, if you're ok with cross-canon?

[evanmore]

[ Ah, recess. The best part of the day, as far as Evan's concerned - no classes, only free reign of the playground and students grouping together to figure out what game they'll play today.

Normally, he alternates between rousing games of tag or playing house with his friend Tani ("playing", since she forces him into it), but his classmate Tenko's seemed kind of quiet lately. So instead, he waits for Tenko by the doors, and gives him a big, bright grin and wave - ]

Tenko! Hey! [ His cat ears and tail even perk up, swishing from side to side, ] What do you wanna play today?

Yuichiro Hyakuya l Owari no Seraph

[wieldless]

[Bitty Sanguinem years era Yuu. Can also I guess maybe be au somewhat for this.]

Re: Yuichiro Hyakuya l Owari no Seraph

[gardenboxed]

[ Interested in playing with Yuuki? She's a vampire turned human (who lost her memories as a result of that process) and later turned vampire again. I don't mind tossing her into Sanguinem and the fact that she's secretly some kind of different vampire that not even she's aware of can just be. Another weird aspect OnS world. Anyway, I could play her on this account, around the same age as Yuu. Or I could toss my itty bitty account your way, in which she's closer to 5 and 6.
