a scar means i survived } scars meme

[kissingtheshoreline]

the s c a r s meme

Most everyone has some sort of scar. Some are from happy accidents. Some are from events you'd rather not speak about. Sometimes, people can share a moment over scars: Be it friendly, romantic, or even with a complete stranger. These are those moments.

01. NEW: the scar is fairly new--  maybe you still need to do something to make sure it heals properly. maybe you're just worried about the new scar that's appeared on someone you care about.

02. DISCOVERY: you've just had someone find out about your scars, or you've just accidentally learned that the other person has scars. do you say something, or let the moment pass?

03. SHAME: maybe you're ashamed of your scars. maybe you want someone else to know that there's no need to hide their scars around you.

04. SHOW: you're proud of your scars, or at least you don't see a reason to keep them covered-- never have, or not anymore. or maybe someone is showing you their scars for the first time.

05. STORY: it's time to talk about the story behind your scars. or, perhaps, it's time to listen to someone tell you about how they came about their scars.

06. TOUCH: maybe you want someone to touch your scars so you can remind yourself you're still here. maybe you want to touch their scars because you want to show them you don't mind them.

07. ATTRACTION: you've heard that people like someone with scars, so you're flaunting them, or you're the person very attracted to someone with scars. 

08. KISS: letting this person kiss your scars may be a moment of extreme vulnerability, or just something you like. kissing someone else's scars may be just what you need to do to show someone how much you care. 

09. SOULMATE: you live in a world where your soulmate's scars appear on your own skin. what's that like?

10. OTHER: wildcard option.

Vanitas | Vanitas no Carte

[lunebleue]

Caleb Widogast | Critical Role | OTA

[zemnianjoy]

[ ooc: Oh he has scars alright, take your pick of emotional, mental or physical ]

Sherlock Holmes || Sherlock BBC || m/m for shipping, gen welcome

[desecrated]

[[ooc: definitely has scars and likely nerve damage down his right arm. Story or touch the preferred options, but let me know if you'd rather go another route.]]

ellie — tlou part 2

[strums]

( ooc; numerous scars from her time living in a post apocalyptic world. ota for gen shenanigans, f/f for anything romantic. )

selina kyle, dc comics

[catlady]

[ she's as scarred up as bruce is, the dc artists are just cowards. ]

[the_caped_crusader]

A scratch from a rose bush in the garden? You didn't do anything to make Pamela angry the other day, did you?

[ bruce comments idly while dabbing at the wound with a clean cloth, red blotting the clean linen. ]

Hm. This one might leave a scar.

daisy johnson | agents of shield (mcu)

[chuju]

[ she's got a dozen to choose from. ]

Cobb Vanth | The Mandalorian

[heypartner]

[ not only does he have scars. he also has a brand. ]

Jason Todd | Titans

[theotherobin]

(he fights and people fight back, not always with their fists.)

[threeisapattern]

[scar comparison? >>]

Jyn Erso — Star Wars — OPEN

[galaxiarum]

Caim | Drakengard

[voiceofanimus]

[Keen on prompts 01, 02, and 04. Could also be interested in 06 (possibly 08). Caim is most likely riddled with scars. Assumed CR and AU is fine. OTA for gen interactions. M/F for anything beyond gen or M/M for canon mates.

There's some extended info on his journal about him, but in hopes of putting this concisely, he's a man torn by war, has been through a lot of loss, is mute (though I could adjust this for AU scenarios), and a bit of a sadist.]

Re: Caim | Drakengard

[delitasis]

[Yes hi it's been YEARS since I've thrown this girl at anyone, but I remember a lot of great CR with a Caim at one of her old games, so I thought this would be a great time to get Teta out of retirement fha;slkdfh;alskfdhasdf

Do you have any preference between 01, 02, or 04? Or do you want me to wing it?]

Puck/Robin Goodfellow | Shakespeare etc. | ota

[gentle_puck]

[If you know where they are, you're allowed to talk about them. ♥]

[wolfdogwitcher]

In the midst of the act, he doesn't touch them. He doesn't want to bring her out of the moment by accidentally sparking off any terrible memories. But sometimes when he's beside her (especially right now, in the waking world, in her dark little room), he finds himself tracing them with his thumb when he's half-asleep on her pillow.

helen cho | mcu

[ugin]

[ My headcanon is that she has a burn mark/scar where Ultron used Loki's sceptre to mind-control her. Were she to use her own tech to patch the place up, it'd work, but some part of her hesitates to erase what happened. ]

Dick Grayson | Titans | ota

[alaazul]

(he's a vigilante, so there's a lot of them.)

sansa stark | asoiaf/got | ota

[eyried]

edelgard von hresvelg | fire emblem: three houses

[crestsidestory]

[ edelgard has a few battle scars but the large majority of her scars are from neat incisions made when she was experimented on as a child. I generally say you'll find the majority of them on her inner arms and straight down the center of her chest and torso with a few as low as her knees. the odds of her baring herself to someone are so low that this'll probably be shippy and/or involve her needing help bandaging herself or bathing after getting injured.

info etc in journal. crosscanon welcome, equally scarred partners A+. characters 20+ preferred unless you're offering a canonmate for something Academy-era. probably not as into the soulmate prompt here - it'd depend on the context. ]

allen walker | d. gray-man

[salvationis]

[ voice testing! main ones are his eye or the one on his chest. his hand's not a scar, but fair game as far as i'm concerned. prefer 06, 07, 08, 09, or diy! ]

Diego Hargreeves | The Umbrella Academy

[bargain_batman]

[ ooc: M/F for shipping. Scars listed on journal. ]

[senseoverload]

[ There are many things about Diego that Rachel is sure she doesn’t know. The two of them have only started seeing each other and there’s always more to discover about a person in the beginning stages of a relationship. One thing that she’s very curious about, though, is that scar on the right side of his face. As she stands in front of him at the door to her apartment, meaning to say goodnight after another lovely dinner date, she reaches up and stops short of touching the scar. ]

What happened there, if you don’t mind me asking? [ She asks in a soft voice, then bites her lip with a wince. ] Was that too intrusive? I’m being intrusive.

Rekker Sterling | Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust| OTA

[rage_rekker]

[He's done self harm and attempted suicide. Lots of cutting scars on his arms and legs; especially the left side since he is right handed. Any except 9. Probably more gen than shippy. profile over here]

5

[swedish_rocker]

[Hans asking Rekker about his scars and both boys talking about theirs and their stories?]

Eskel || The Witcher (any) || OTA

[wolfdogwitcher]

{{While all witchers have countless scars, Eskel's scars mark him as distinctive even among his peers. Prompts:
- Every other scar on his body: 01,02,04,05,06,07
- The massive disfiguring facial scar: 01,03,05 is a maybe. Touching and & kissing (including familial/platonic) reserved for canonmates and established partners.}}

[lettenhove]

[ i still owe you a tag but would you be interested in 5 for these two? ]

Eighth Doctor | Doctor Who | ota

[memory_lapses]

[ unless the scars are relatively fresh, he's not likely to be the one with the scars. time lords heal much faster than humans, so even when he does get seriously wounded the scars don't stay very long.

with this in mind, open to either role, assumed cr, cross-overs, time wimey nonsense, and everything in between. ]

Sadie Adler | RDR2 | M/F for ships, OTA for gen

[the_widow]

[ She's got lots of scars and most come with stories. ]

Trevor Belmont | Castlevania | OTA

[staydead]

[highremembrance]

( Hey there! Do you have any preference of canon point or prompt? )

mia allen | evil dead

[buckthorns]

( voicetesting, m/f for shipping. mia def has a lot of scars, one in particular when she removed her own hand in a fight for survival. fun. )

felix fraldarius | fe3h | m/m

[bloodyblade]

Lady || Devil May Cry || F/M

[notladyluck]

[She has a couple of physical scars and some emotional ones too]
