May-December

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.

18, can be aged up. As for his partner, I'm fine with any difference as long as they're still able to enjoy life together. For example, silver foxes in good physical condition are A-oka. Preference for someone who either feels bad about the age difference or doesn't care as opposed to somebody who gets off on it. )

Ayase is 18 but can be aged up. The age of his partner isn't really that important to me so I'm A-okay with silver foxes. I'm either looking for something very sweet with a protective older partner who gets doted on by Ayase, or someone who's able to use their experience to make themselves seem like better people than they are. )

[Can be played as either the younger or older party. Though if it's with another witcher, he's definitely the younger one.]

Two canon points: happy-go-lucky version in which he's younger. Or, post canon in which he's a grumpy pants but also way older than most old people but still looks young. )

17 canonically, but I can do a little aging up. Most upper age limits don't bother me. He's a very friendly, sociable guy. )

[ he's legitimately a monster, but would love to play out his 'socially acceptable' relationship in the way of anyone 18+ as he seeks to pursue a reputation as a human being (as opposed to his actuality of an eldritch horror).

can be actual monster kink (see profile) or just a vanilla rich dude being a sugar daddy. he just needs to establish he's human.... anime and 'aged up' is fine. ]

[I tend to play her around age 21, though can go as young as 18/19 and finishing up her last year at Hogwarts for canonmates. She's definitely the younger party, though likes to pretend she's mentally the elder. Open to canonmates, cross-canon, AUs, OCs, or anyone else!]

[ Looks about 30, acts about 30, is probably somewhere in his 100s. Vampires.

Could be either! Does well with somewhat uptight partners. Very good at killing stubborn types with kindness while still being a brat. ]

[personal profile] pyrrhic_paladin 2021-11-19 11:00 am (UTC)(link)
(ooc: Jaune is definitely the younger party at around 18 or 19. He's a romantic at heart, and would pretty much ignore age differences if he fell in love with someone.

No end or coerced prompts. Everything else should be fine.)

Also mildly disappointed to not see a Part 3 Joseph here. ]
