The Suddenly!Parent Meme

(Alternatively: The Child Surprise Meme)



The premise is simple; here you are, living the high life and getting on with things when suddenly there's a kid showing up at your door.... claiming they're yours.
What do you do now?



How to Play

1. Post a top level, include whether you want to play the parent or the child and any other preferences
2. Tag about! Congratulations, you're now the proud parent of an unexpected offspring

Prompts

A few ideas to get you going, use them or not, I'm not the boss of you.

1. Surprise! Classic option. You didn't even know you had a child and yet here they are showing up at your door
2. No, I am your father. Reverse option! You've finally tracked down your child after all these years
3. Yea, I know... Angst option, you tried to get rid of this kid, you never expected them to show up again
4. This is your baby. adultxadult option, showing up with a baby
5. Your responsibility now. It's not your child, but their parents are gone and you're the only one who can step up.

Dick Grayson/Robin | Young Justice | OTA

[utilitybelted]

_{[Child, but I do also have an adult/comics Dick available if preferred. Canon or Cross-canon equally welcome]}

Jaskier | Witcher (Netflix) | OTA

[breadpants]

_{[Probably the parent but could age down for funsies. Canon/AU/Crosscanon all welcome]}

Prompto Argentum | FFXV | OTA

[chocobobutt]

_{[Probably the child]}

Hawkeye Pierce | M*A*S*H | OTA

[benjaminfranklin]

_{[The parent]}

[sometimesapet]

[ooc: this may be unconventional, but how about an adopted kitty? or rather a cat that wanders into their tent and takes up residence.]

Deadpool | Deadpool movies

[unicornmasturbation]

[ parent. Sorry not sorry? ]

[house_of_organa]

[Baby space princess? Leia's about 5 or 6 and very precocious.]

Ritsuka Aoyagi (Loveless)

[lovedless]

(ooc | The child, obviously. Mother is abusive, father is probably dead, and Ritsuka needs a sudden parent.

Let me know if you want it to take place in the Loveless world or not. Cat features are a thing there. )

[luculence]

[ooc: Siv here! I'm rusty with the Loveless world, but I'd be happy to have it take place there. Care to have a dad who will make him lots of healthy foods in interesting ways? And try his best to help him navigate things. He did lose his ears against his will, as a note (ngl he probably wears animatronic fakes or something.)

[He's just going to be very warm and almost doting because he had a good family life. :)]

Ciel Phantomhive (Kuroshitsuji)

[demonicdealings]

(ooc | The child. Parents were killed and now lives on his own, but we can have him going somewhere else instead. Modern AU A-okay. However, he does have PTSD. )

Wei Wuxian | Mo Dao Zu Shi

[noenvy]

[Parent, even if he acts like a spoiled child.]

Kirimi Nekozawa | Ouran High School Host Club | OTA

[lost_koneko]

((most definitely the child, bonus points if your character is blond too as she’ll definitely think they’re family! also she’ll do this, so if there are any character types or tropes you want her to identify your character as, please tell me~ ^^))

Grand Admiral Thrawn | Star Wars | OTA

[admiralchiss]

[The parent]

[seaguppie]

On occasion pilots really do think that they won't get shot down. This leads them to doing really foolish things. Such as putting their favorite commanding officer as their next of kin. It was supposed to be a bit of a joke.

As it turned out bureaucracy didn't play around.

Congratulations Admiral, it's an equally shocked nine year old. She's only mad that her brother isn't still alive so that she can yell at him for being impulsive again. It was just like him.

"This is the kind of dumb thing he'd do."

Cirilla of Cinta || The Witcher

[girlinthewoods]

[You rang?]

Re: Cirilla of Cinta || The Witcher

[breadpants]

_{[Okay so HEAR ME OUT. What if Duny wasn't actually Ciri's father and Pavetta had a dalliance with a certain manwhore bard?]}

Rey || Star Wars

[hardscrabble]

[Parent, probably (of YOUR child? *GASP*), though I'm game for aging her down for shenanigans. Hope you like sand gremlins.]

[acertainlifestyle]

Yennefer of Vengerberg | 90% Netflix, 10% books

[seductress]

[here for adopted child/found family tropes. Bio-kid would just... not work. Also worst parent]

Re: Yennefer of Vengerberg | 90% Netflix, 10% books

[breadpants]

_{[*slams into this meme with all the weird ideas* so according to a timeline I found, in the show we meet Yennefer like 40 years before Geralt meets Jaskier, and she's a full fledged sorceress like 20 years before so it is TOTALLY LEGIT that Yennefer could find a kid!Jaskier and adopt him (even if technically she doesn't start wanting kids until much later), what say you?]}

Hope Estheim | FFXIII | OTA

[ultimum]

[Child, obviously.]

Roy Harper/Arsenal | DC

Ienzo | Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep

[radiantschemer]

[Here, have a precious orphan boy. Make him your apprentice, give him a laboratory, and he's sure to not conspire against you, do unethical experiments and send the kingdom spiraling into darkness, ever. ]

Rider | Fate/Stay Night | OTA

[bewitchingblackserpent]

( The parent. )

Kitty | Shadowrun or Changeling: the Lost | crosscanon welcome

[runs]

[Happy to do all options except 4.

Alternatively: Not actually your child, but totally going to pretend that it is the case... because she needs to lie low, because you just brought a tasty looking cake home, or for whatever other reasons.]
