The (Improved) Single Parent Meme

(Now with more prompts!)



Congratulations, you are now a proud parent. Whether they're driving you crazy, getting in the way of love or filling your whole world, you certainly can't ignore them.

Pick yourself a scenario and get ready for the pitter patter of tiny feet.


- Post your character, canon and preferencees
- Choose a role
- Repliers pick from the below options
- ????
- Profit



Roles
1. Parent and child - One of you is the parent and the other is their blessed offspring (or holy terror).
2. Parent and Parent - Commiserating together on the woes of parenthood
3. Parent and Other (ir)Responsible Adult - Whether they're your kid's school teacher or the new boy/girlfriend about to meet the sprog, your kid is influencing this conversation.

And the scenarios to choose from...

Parent and Child

1. The surprise child option - You didn't even know you had a kid, and now they're showing up at your door just announcing you're a parent. Good luck with that.
2. The surprise parent option - No, I am your father.
3. Let's just get through today - it's a special occasion! Whether it's a birthday, Christmas or some other celebration, it's a big day and there's a lot going on. Control the sugar rush and avoid tears before bedtime, and you might just survive it.
4. What did you do!? - The dreaded call from the school has come, and now you've got to march down there and find out what your wayward child is up to today
5. Sick Day - Nobody's going anywhere today, call into work and notify the school, because your child is ILL.
6. Big shoes to fill - This is not your child. They're your little brother, your niece, your best friend's son, their real parents are gone and you're the only one who can step in.
7. Other - Got another idea? Fill your boots! No, not with that, oh god, who's going to clean this up?

Parent and Parent

1. Playdate - Oh my gosh you'll love my friend, he has a kid too! It's a blind date based solely on being parents, and your kids are there as well. Oh this should be fun.
2. Playdate - A blind date based solely on being parents, but at least you've got some time away from the kids for it. As long as there's no emergencies...
3. Field Trip - You're both chaperoning for the school field trip, I hope you get on well together because that's one long bus journey.
4. Support Group - It's a lonely, difficult road, so it's nice to have somebody to talk to that understands that your sweet, adorable child gets less sweet and adorable after the fourth screaming fit.
5. Your child did WHAT? - You're both called in to the office because your kids have been fighting. Or caught making out. Or otherwise getting in trouble. Who gets the blame here?
6. Other - Go nuts. Literally, kids are hard.

Parent and other adult

1. Parent/Teacher Conference - Since he started school your child can't stop talking about their amazing/terrible teacher, and now you get to find out for yourself! (Oh no he's hot is optional)
2. Something you should know - You've been on a few dates and things are going well, it's about time to drop the child bomb before things get too serious.
3. Lost and found - Your child has run away/gotten lost, but there's a kind stranger depositing them back in your waiting arms, how do you ever repay them?
4. Over the fence - Your child has lost something in the next door neighbour's garden and they're too scared to go ask for it back themselves, you're up.
5. We're doing all we can - Something terrible has happened and your kid's in hospital, but luckily there's a doctor/nurse/etc on hand to keep you updated
5. Other - A shocking twist in the classic options, choose your own!

Yukiya Ayase (Okane ga Nai)

[shakkin]

(ooc | 18-year-old university student so the child probably isn't biological, but he'd be a doting parent to a child that might somehow find their way into his care. )

The Artful Dodger | Oliver Twist | ota

Chikai Kuji | Sarazanmai

[measuringdistance]

[No biological kids, but acts as a bad parent for his little brother. Could also play an unofficial parent for runaways/criminal kids/etc.]

Charles "Trip" Tucker III | Star Trek: Enterprise | M/M

[gotpregnant]

((He, canonically, almost ended up being a single parent for an alien baby.))

Ben Wheeler | Baby Daddy

Sigma | Overwatch | OTA

[harness_the_harness]

[ lbr, probably an estranged workaholic dad. Major bonus points if he's a surprise grandpa. Adult/older kids preferred. ]

Doug Witter | Dawson's Creek | M/M

"Look," Tony has the file on the diner table as he looks across at the kid in the booth opposite him. This is normally Pepper's duty, but something in the photos made him want to take point on this, "do you have any idea how many kids a week come around claiming I'm their dad? It's almost become a meme to me by now."

He flicks through a couple of the papers, barely paying attention to them. "There's nothing solid in here, it means shit. Nice try, but no dice."

Laguna Loire | Final Fantasy VIII

[perfectplanning]

[Canonically the single parent!]

Jemma Simmons | Agents of SHIELD

[biochemistry]

[ota with f/f preference for shipping; the parent assuming the second mode of play, seeking other adults (as I doubt anyone plays her kid)]

Hans Von Hammer | DC Comic's Enemy Ace | OTA

[the_enemy_ace]

[Parent. Not quite Batman-levels of withdrawn, but outward affection would not be the easiest for him. But he'd burn down whole armies to keep a child safe.]

bruce wayne | dceu

[noctiferous]

[ definitely the parent, pm with questions. 30+ only, please, for adult options. ]

Re: bruce wayne | dceu

_{[I mean...
I also have a slightly older/comics Dick if you'd prefer a more grown up son
interested?]}

Sarah Williams | Return to Labyrinth

[notimefordreams]

[You're welcome to abused her position as a highschool English teacher for parent/other adult prompts. I'm completely game for parent/parent or parent/child things as well.]

Eliza Hamilton | Hamilton (can do Modern AU)

[bestofwives]

((The parent))

Kisuke Urahara / Bleach

[hatician]

[Mostly a single parent. Tessai is just there to make sure the kids don't blow anything up for real in the shop and Yoruichi does nothing to help.

His children hate him and they can crush concrete to dust in their hands, so his life is a living nightmare.]
