the MATES FOR LIFE meme


The one conceit of this meme: humans (or human-expies, whatever beings they may be) mate for life. With this comes the typical trappings of "mating for life" - indescribable closeness, contentment around your "destined," and, of course, in your all-too-familiar worst case, jealousy and rage should the bond be threatened.

Oh, and there's also the little caveat that, should your mate die, you die as well. But that's not too much to swallow, is it? The whole thing is only a small conceit, you know.

HOW TO PLAY
  • Comment with your character and preferences.
  • Reply to others, using the RNG or not at your pleasure.
  • Thread.



PROMPTS
romanticism | You approach the potential of mating with a dreamy hope. It will be just like a romance novel!
distaste | Ugh, mating? You're going to put it off...or maybe even try not to do it at all.
imprint | That's them. That's the one. You both know it, and you can't keep away.
first | The first time you come together sets the bond in stone, not to mention sets the stage for the rest of your lives.
share | Some mates are able to communicate and share their secrets through a mental link; others have to do it the old fashioned way and just speak up.
calm | When one partner goes berserk, there's only one person in this world who can get them to settle down.
comfort | Merely being in the presence of your mate can turn your stormy day around.
heal | Scars, mental or physical, can be mended with the right love from a mate.
need | Your body is going through actual physical withdrawal due to being away from your one and only.
protect | Whether the threat be real or jealously perceived, you have to keep what's yours from harm.
obsessed | You're beyond jealous. You've taken it too far
mistake | Mating with them was not the right decision, but you can't take it back.
cheat | Despite your being mated, you've chosen to break a sacred trust and go outside the home.
death | There's not much will left to live in you after your mate has passed. Even if there was, it's not like you have much of a choice not to die.
old mated couple | You've lasted a long time. This may be your "happy ending."
