'Bout to get attention from a grown up—'cause you hold me like a woman

MAY/DECEMBER ROMANCE


A May-December romance is any where there is a larger than average age difference between the partners involved. Sometimes this is met with disapproval, sometimes it is arranged, sometimes it is abuse of power, and other times it just happens and it's no one's fault or doing. This meme focuses on those relationships.

- Post with your character, preferences, and note their ages (or an estimate if no canon age is given).
- Please don't forget to note how much of an age gap you're comfortable with!
- Look around, tag. Have fun! Make up a scenario or make use of the prompts below.



beginning
1. confession - you've just confessed your love. How is it received?
2. coerced - they have more power than you and you have no choice but to go along.
3. arranged - this was an arranged union and may not have had anything to do with your choosing at all.
4. secret - it would be forbidden or frowned upon, but you can't resist...

middle
1. difference - does the age difference make things difficult?
2. domesticity - just a day in the life...
3. experience - one of you has more experience than the other, but at least they're eager to teach.
4. argument - you're fighting for one reason or another.

end
1. breakup - things aren't working.
2. discovered - your forbidden secret has been found out and judged.
3. another - one of you has fallen in love with another.
4. happily ever after - against all odds, you've made it work.

[ so, homegirl seems to be p into the older dudes and i can get behind this this. (also down to write some hecka gay stuff, so ladies too!!) it's not a really thing for her, she's just, idk ~*~ AN OLD SOUL ~*~ and hits it off with them. (read: she, too, is a dirty old man.) in rebirth, selina is about 28 for reference. no idea what they're going with these days and as such play her at about 28.

i also play her about 10 years younger and pre-catwoman (year one isn't everyone's thing) and am v interested in playing her early into her career a la the long halloween/dark victory/when in rome. tl;dr: i'm down to roll with whatever. ]

[ She's somewhere around a hundred give or take, so she's probably December, three years from now. Genetically and physically she remains strong, fit and healthy due to the manipulations Red Room has put her body through and the conditions, training and exercise she continues to maintain to this day. However the years have given her an assortment of scars that tell a long and lingering history. M/F generally preferred, F/F if they connect. Canon, cross canon, cross media ok. Please no underage though. ]
