The FAMILY Meme

How does it work? Simple! Choose a relationship (or roll for one, if it suits your fancy), and then RNG for a situation! That, or just go straight for whatever situation appeals to you. These are all fairly vague: just something to start you off!

Parent-Child

1. Rock-a-Bye How do you get a fussy child to sleep? Read them a story, sing them a lullaby, or just let them stay up until they exhaust themselves? Whatever the choice, it is time for bed.

2. For The First Time You've never met this person in your life, but it turns out they're one of the two reasons you exist. Maybe they walked out when you were young. Maybe they never knew you were born. Whatever the reason, it is now time to meet them.

3. Past Midnight That curfew was set for a reason. Now it's two AM, and your kid is just now dragging in. Maybe they're drunk. Or got into a fight. Or just had way too much fun snogging their new love interest. It's time for them to face the music.

4. New Home It's the first day of your new life together, as parent and child. Whether it's through adoption, a basket on the front steps, or a wish come true, both of you are going to have to learn to take your steps together.

5. Holiday It could be Christmas, Easter, or just a birthday, but it is time to celebrate! Get together for some good old-fashioned family fun.

6.Take To Work Day What your parents do for a living is the quickest thing that can turn a kid from boring to the coolest on the block. So whatever the job, from accountant to zookeeper, go to work!

7. You're Not My Real Dad Being a step-parent (or step-child, for that matter) can be tough. Problem is, you're stuck with each other. So whether you're yelling or just having an awkward conversation, it is time to work things out.

8. Unexpected Guardian So you're not the parenting type. Too bad. Situation calls for someone to step up to the plate and look out for this kid, and you're the only one near base. Have fun with that.

Siblings

1. Protective Big Sibling Okay, look. No one gets to mess with your sibling but you. Your little brother or sister is in trouble; let them know you're going to be the one to take care of it.

2. Ruining The Night So your sibling has a hot date. You know what that calls for? Making their lives a living hell.

3. Newcomer Who is this new kid in your house? Your family has adopted, and now you have to call this stranger family. Welcome them into the house, or let them know how much they aren't wanted.

4. Blood Brothers So maybe you aren't really related to this person. That doesn't matter. You're going to change that, right now. In this moment, you will become family. Nothing can break this bond.

5. Middle of the Night It's the middle of the night. Your car is broken down, or you're drunk, or you need bailed out, or you just got beat up, or someone just broke up with you. Whatever just happened, it's time to call your sibling and hope they can bail you out.

6. Sibling Rivalry Nobody understands what jerks siblings can be! Always in your stuff, messing up your relationships, getting in your way -- it's time for an all out brawl, whether that means yelling, pranking, or fists flying.

7. Long-Lost Maybe you've heard of this person. Or maybe they are entirely new to you. However, you've gotten the information that you're more than strangers: you're family. Welcome to each other's lives.

8. All Alone Once your family was whole. Or maybe it never truly was. Whatever the case, the world is a big, dangerous place, and you've only got one person left to rely on: your sibling.

Uncle/Aunt-Niece/Nephew

1. Sent Away There's something bad going on at home, and you've been sent away to "safety." Problem is, how safe is this relative really? Are they the kooky, cool kind of Aunt, or are they a crazed Uncle after your fortune? Time to find out.

2. Taking You In Something's happened to your niece/nephew's parents, and it's time to step up and do your family duty. They've got nowhere else to go, after all.

3. The One We Don't Talk About So maybe the family is a little bit...ashamed of you. You're a bit mad, or you've done something they just don't like. Yet you want to be part of your niece/nephew's life, and whatever their parents say, you'll find a way.

4. Grand Adventure Maybe you came out of nowhere, or maybe you've just been keeping secrets. But you aren't an ordinary aunt/uncle, and it's time to take your niece or nephew on a very wild ride.

5. Like A Parent To Me Sure, you have parents, but this person is who your parents should be like -- or maybe who you feel should be your parent in the first place. Let them know how you feel about them.

6. Don't Tell Mom Aunts and Uncles have special qualities. Like, sometimes, being a bit more lenient than Mom and Dad might be. So you have a, er, sensitive problem? It's time to run to them.

In A Relationship

1. New Baby On The Way The panicking is already over, but there are still preparations to be made. Maybe you need to set up the nursery, or you've got the best idea for your soon-to-be child's name.

2. Romeo & Juliet You love this person. Perhaps more than life itself. But it is time to break the bad news: your family will never approve.

3. I Think I Might Be Pregnant Somehow, you are pregnant. And you think you know who the father is...time to break the news.

4. While You Were Away You've been gone years, only to come back and find your beloved has a child...with your eyes.

Of course, you are free to make up your own scenario, or do a relationship not done here! "

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Your average everyday teenage girl who just so happens to have spent the last ten or so years of her life in a virtual reality world under her control. No biggie. She's kind of quiet and weird on account of having spent so much time alone but if you're nice in her direction for like five seconds, she'll glom right onto you. Supremely reckless and has basically no sense of danger or self-preservation.

she's Babey so the relationship prompts are off the table, but I'm game for anything else! PLEASE GIVE RIN A FAMILY SHE'S A TRAGIC ORPHAN AND IT HURTS MY SOUL ]

(ooc | Canonically, his parents were killed, he sold his soul to a demon, and runs a toy company while seeking revenge at which point the demon will eat his soul.

Possible ways to twist this is to have him rescued normally and placed with another noble family by the Queen ((she's involved in his life, don't question it)). Open to other areas, even modern AU. Either way, as a warning, he has PTSD.

Open to all. )

Edited 2020-01-10 19:36 (UTC)

(ooc | Raised by a single mother who abuses him, it would be easy to have Ritsuka taken and placed in a foster home. Let me know if you want this done before canon or after canon events. If this is a new placement, he'll be sullen as he still loves his mother. If you want to avoid that, we can have it an arrangement they've been in a while.

Open to other scenerios. Open to all. )

(ooc | Open to all scenarios. )

[ Impressions & info here! tl;dr: A super peppy, high-energy and low-wisdom traveling warrior with as many braincells as she has functioning eyes (which is to say, one). due to personal reasons, she is Out For Revenge. Mostly just here to have a good time and/or get into trouble. Cannot be trusted with her own braincell and is having SO MUCH FUN out here on her wild adventure.

hmu beforehand if you wanna go w/the Relationship prompts but otherwise let's go ham ]

[ The Responsible Onee-san Team Mom of a group of high schoolers stranded in their school after the zombie apocalypse happened. It's... that kind of story. She’s kind and patient, intelligent and adaptable and fiercely devoted to ensuring the safety and happiness of the people she cares about. Your Big Sister Now.

As usual hmu abt the "In A Relationship" prompts but everything else just go wild fam ]

[ An ex-sickly anime waif, alchemist and certified Good Girl. Exceedingly polite to the point of farce and aggressively sunshiney and eager to support her friends to combat for her relatively poor self-esteem. Does her best to Love Everyone, even if they're a bit of a shitter but anyone who's cruel to her friends is cruising for a bruising. Comes in two flavours!!

There's Hexapath Travellers where she's the usual babey 19 year old Sophie, or Hexapath Future where she's about 28/29ish and has started taking on her own alchemy students. Open to pretty much anything so let's go wild. ]

[ The news came three weeks ago. Caravan attacked by demons. No sign of any survivors. The bodies were not all conclusively identified, but that was the last time anyone saw or heard from Ivy Summerhelm.

However, when the supernatural is involved, death isn't always quite as concrete. In some form, unbeknownst to her friend and family, she continued to exist. Since her manifestation as a spirit, one thought guided all her actions: Get back to her family.

One rainy night, Sophie comes home to an empty house, but an unshakeable feeling that someone - or something - is in her home with her. The feeling persists, until she steps into the living room as a flash of lightning briefly illuminates it, lighting up the ghostly figure standing there, looking at her uncertainly.

Her little sister. ]

[Midboss wants to be everyone’s eccentric father figure okay?

Also open to the in a relationship prompts assuming muse is 18+]

[a small son or lil brother for you! easily au'd/crau'd]

[ The last few weeks have passed in a bit of a blur for Sophie. She'd been stood at her alchemy cauldron when she'd gotten the news from someone who burst into the workshop, pale and trembling – and at first, she had thought that the news must have been for someone else. She was so used to people needing help bursting into the workshop without warning that she thought, surely, this couldn't be about her. And even when they gently sat her down and explained, she still found that though she understood what she was being told, she couldn't truly absorb it.

Ivy was gone. It just didn't seem real or possible, but by all accounts, it was. She'd spent most of her time after getting the news numbly following her daily routine as if it were some sort of magic spell to bring her sister back. If she followed the script just right and did everything like she was supposed to, then she'd return to the workshop and find Ivy waiting. The people in the village don't seem to know how to handle her quiet grief and they'd taken to following her lead, just going about things as usual.

Part of Sophie resents it. She wants one of them to shake her awake and tell her to stop being such a fool. Their well-intentioned kindness hurts. The worst part, though is what they all call her -- the Summerhelm girl, they say and though she knows none of them mean anything cruel by it, her stomach still churns when she hears it. Because she's only "the Summerhelm girl" now because she's the only one left.

It's hearing one of the regulars at the tavern call her that in a quiet undertone that spurs Sophie to leave and make her way home in the rain, rather than hang around and wait for it to clear. Going home to an empty house is awful, but at least it's quiet and she's spared the stares and the mutters of the other villagers. By the time she gets home, she's cold and soaked to the skin and though she knows she'll get terribly sick, she doesn't think she has the energy to do anything much more than toss her clothes to the laundry hamper and climb into bed.

Or that's the plan, anyway. She doesn't get more than a single step into the living room when lightning flashes across the walls and Sophie freezes in place. She blinks a few times to clear her vision and to see if everything's going to swim out of focus, but it doesn't happen. The hairs on the back of her neck stand up and when she speaks, her voice cracks and wobbles. ]

... w–who's there...? [ a short, sharp intake of breath, like the start of a sob: ] Ivy...?

[ parent-child~ ]

[ Nobody has been able to see Ivy since she died. No matter how hard she tried, people just acted like she didn't exist.

But Sophie can see her.

Ghostly tears in her eyes, Ivy runs at Sophie, arms outstretched to pull her into a hug... except oh right, she's a ghost, so she passes right through her. After realizing what happened, she turns around and starts talking animatedly, all her old boundless energy.

Unfortunately, whatever she's doing to make herself visible, it doesn't carry over to her voice, so there's no way to hear what she's saying. ]

[Carol here is an early 20s something mercenary/hopeless vagabond who is super not equipped for taking care of someone, considering she's part stern warrior, part goofy drunk, all incredibly bad at acknowledging her own emotions.

So naturally I'd love something where she's Sophie's aunt, something happens to Sophie's parents, and Carol's stuck taking her along on her random misadventures. That sound good?]

[idek how this would happen but GIVE FINN THE BABYYYYYY]

[25+ for shippy things]

[Oh HECK yes. So, this can go a couple of ways. Pre-canon, Simon is a domestic android designed to take care of children, household chores, walk your dear elderly mother up and down stairs, cook the meals, walk the pets, and generally be The Help. After deviating two years after his manufacture and purchase, he fell into the role of Certified Mom Friend and caretaker of more reckless androids.

Basically, he needs a family to function. Let him dad.]

[ Older sister figure or an aunt figure preferred. F/F for relationships ]

( OOC: See, I love Shelter and the whole story behind it. I would love to have Sofia here to take Rin in and become the aunt or sister figure! I was just wondering whether you prefer to start it off with Rin waking up from her pod or some time after? A few days? Maybe even a week where they get to see a new colony world with survivors? )

ooc: give her family figures.

ooc: ota for gen

ooc: also up for just fambly times and AUs
