PET PERSON SHIPPING MEME

>> premise

Hello, and welcome to The Care and Keeping of Your Pet! As you surely know, a pet is a big responsibility, and we're so glad you've decided to be a concientious master. A safe pet is a happy pet, and this handbook is certain to keep your precious lifelong friend as content as can be. The history of the animal person is a long and difficult one, with their origins not being known even to this day. However, scientists believe that despite our common appearance - most animal people have humanoid forms except for the ears, tails, and sometimes teeth - we share no common ancestry, even if the ascent of this species corresponds with that of the homo sapien. We gained dominance over each breed thousands of years ago, beginning with the dog type, who have long been considered "man's best friend." Most breeds these days are docile and perfect for owners of any speed. Of course, it is our duty as the superior species to take care of these animal creatures, and this is inherent in their genetic makeup. Everyone knows that an animal person, when matched with their correct human master, is loyal for life - a true "soulmate," if you will. Far be it for us to turn this away! Ever since the Great Domestication, these intelligent and loving animals have served us as friends, workmates, guardians, servants, and sexual companions and will for years to come. Despite recent hubbub from so-called "Pet People's Rights Activists," this way of life is wholesome and good. Scientific research shows that the natural desire of the pet person is to be owned and cared for by a human. So, it's your first pet. What do you need to know? As previously stated, pet people come in as many breeds as you can possibly think of. By far and away the most popular are the dog and cat types, but exotic birds and lizards have been gaining popularity among trendsetters from L.A. to Tokyo! All pet types are best suited for certain jobs, and when hunting for one, it is best to search for a type that suits your needs best. However, a "True Match" - when a pet person bonds with you and only you for the rest of their natural lives - comes naturally, and sometimes takes time before you can find the pet you will be able to give a forever home to. According to all current research, pet people are completely sentient and like us in many ways. However, it is important to remember that they have many animalistic and feral characteristics. Do not be foolish and think that your pet is a person, despite the facts that many are clothed and may be allowed to read, write, and have "hobbies." Some traditional pet owners may eschew these frivolities, and that is within their right. Pet people age more quickly than humans, at least physically, and many types have long lifespans. It is not uncommon for pets to be passed through the family. When getting your child their first pet, it's important to keep in mind that just because the pup is tiny now, a grown pet can be jumpy around a small child. It is important to train a pet. Discipline will be necessary. This does not make you a bad owner. Failure to train early will result in a rebellious pet. Training is especially important if you want your pet to serve as a household servant. Remember, your pet will be extremely protective of you, especially if you are Truly Bonded. It is best to socialize them early. A socialized pet is a perfect family pet. These days, unowned and unbonded pet people are allowed to live as strays or "Frees" in certain designated areas. Some even hold "jobs." This is against their best interest, and owners who adopt these strays are to be rewarded. Still, the best place to get pets are from liscenced kennels or breeders. Some masters find it beneficial to participate in activities with their pets, such as shows and other competitions. Finally, much has been made about the sexual relationship between pet and master. This is a normal facet of the bond, and humans are sure to find pet people sexually alluring. But beyond that, it is only responsible and prudent for owners to care for their pet's needs. It is a well-known fact that the libidos of pet people are remarkably strong, and when they go into heat, it is usually more convenient for a master to relieve them. There is no risk of pregnancy. All rumors of hybrids are urban legends. Despite this, masters must remember to not view their pets as romantic partners. Humans should stay with humans. With that said, thank you and welcome to your first day as a pet's master!

>> how to play

Needless to say, The Care and Keeping of Your Pet is a bit biased and full of propaganda, but it gives a good idea of the world your character is now AU's into. They are either a pet person or a human master, and what that means for them varies. So are they a devoted pet or a rebellious animal person looking to buck the system? A generous master or a cruel sexual sadist? Just a normal pet owner? Most likely they're something in between, but when you're raised in this world, it's difficult to see anything different on the horizon. Rules Comment with your character and say whether they'd be a master or a pet. Ideally, they could be played as both. Mention what kind of each they'd be and what they'd be like, (ie: "Xx-chan is a bunny girl who is happy to please her master" or "Asterothia is a cat boy who is aloof but loyal to his true master"). For pets, be sure to include features ("wolf ears, tail, teeth). REMEMBER, pet does not automatically equal submissive and master automatically equal dominant. This is not a BDSM setting though BDSM can be included. How far you want to go with the actual "pet" aspect is up to you, as well. Your pet could just be your slightly-furry roommate or soulmate! Comment to others. Play out the scene.

>> prompts

This by now means an all-inclusive list, but it should get you going in the right direction. First Time Pet/Owner: Usually, pets are gotten at a young age; you're an old dog. Can you learn new tricks? True Bond: What all masters and pets yearn for...the pet's loyalty and adoration for life. Love: It's expected for masters to love their pets, but to love them? Romance is strictly forbidden. Old "Couple": Master and pet have grown together and know each other. You know, know each other. Loss of Master: The pet has lost their master, perhaps even their True Bond. Is it possible to move on? Young Master/Older Pet: Pets age quicker than masters, so it's possible to end up with a bit of an "age" difference. Family Pet: This pet's been raised as part of the family. What happens when their feelings for a family member get more than platonic. For Your Protection: You don't want to be a master, but you have to take in a pet for their protection lest they be in danger from the general public. Stray: You're a stray or a "Free." Can you live like this with your biology screaming for you to make a match? Servant: You're more servant than pet. All Sex, All the Time: The only purpose for this pet is to service the master, and not in a way that means cleaning their house. Guard: You're a loyal bodyguard, a service pet. You'll do anything for your master. Anything. Pet Play: This is for those who prefer to keep their animals on leashes, have them eat from bowls, and keep away from clothing. Breaking In: Training is important with any pet. In Love with Another Master...or Pet: To lust after another's master is no better than treason, and to wish to be with another pet just cruel! Punishment: Bad dog, no nookie! Heat: All pets go into heat, and it's the responsibility of the owner to take care of this problem. After all, unchecked dry humping kills thousands every year. Breeding: Breeders know the best qualities in each type and mate the cream of the crop together to continue lines. It's a hobby for some, a calling for others. Pregnancy: So, about that whole "hybrid" thing. It maaaay be more true than you think, even if pet/human pregnancies are the stuff of salacious tabloids. Territorial: Hey, hey, other dog person! This is your apartment. Stay the fuck out! Kennel: Kennels are where unadopted pets are kept. They're generally agreed to be depressing places. Why not volunteer at one, keeping the pets healthy and happy with the kind of affection only humans can show? Rebelling Against the System: Damn the Man! Pet people are people, too! Just be careful not to get talk. You know what happens to bad pets. Instant Attraction: You ever just look at someone and know they're the one? That they're...your master? But what if you've been trying to fight it? Well, don't try! Dominant Pet: You might be the pet, but you call the shots, at least in the bedroom. Pet Show: Everyone wants to show off how perfect their animal is. Look at that ass! And you'll never believe their special skills... Therapeutic: Pets, especially those bred for their kindliness, are perfect therapy for those who've been through trauma and heartache. Jealousy: Who's that around your master? Oh, hell no. They better not be touching them! Petting: Pet people are absolutely gaga for being touched. Even the most steely ones turn to mush for rubs. Games: Playing with your pet and giving them exercise is a key to happiness. Of course, with a pet person, you might want to use other toys instead of a ball.

Arthur Morgan - Red Dead Redemption II - OTA20+

[unshakencowboah]

[If he's a pet he's either a stray deer or bear. If he's an owner (discuss first), he doesn't have much but he's happy to share.]

Venti | Genshin Impact | m/f (m/m canonmates)

[ventease]

[probably a stray; will default to rabbit but open to other pet choices if you have a preference!]

[as an owner he would probably "free" anyone he was given but open to a pet choosing to follow him instead]

[kink list in journal]

[morasite]

[ Once upon a time, Morax finds a rabbit in the Guili Plains. Guizhong suggests he take the little thing back to where it's from - Mondstadt. While times are fair, at least for now, a warlord like Morax has little room to debate.

He still sort of regrets not killing the exotic animal outright, if only because offering it to Guizhong had not panned out to be the gift he thought it was. It would have made things much easier. Now Morax lounges around the bit of land that will host Wangshu Inn a long, long time in the future, a shape of a man on his hip against a boulder in case a mortal might happen by.

The little rabbit has been set free, and maybe Morax is hoping it gets lost in the tall grass at some point so he has no more responsibility to his partner. For now, however, the warlord watches. ]

[ventease]

[The rabbit had an ear (no pun intended) for stories. While he had traveled the hillsides he'd heard rumors and rumors about the impressive forces that shaped this land. He had heard about a warlord, a consummate force of the battlefield, "Morax." He was prepared, should anyone treat him like a subordinate, to show them the wiles and trickery of a rabbit that bore no master.]

[Instead, he found a quite funny person. There was a hidden brutality but it was so seemingly easily quenched by the people around him. "You should return the rabbit to his home," and here he was. Venti quite enjoyed darting in and out of the warlord's sight and seeing how quickly he was spotted. Each time he reappeared, a sparkle in his eyes, as if you say I'm in your care a bit longer.]

[The people of Liyue would look at the two and assume it was a simple pet and master. To Venti, though, it seemed like the "master" was far more bound by this contract that he was...]

Hey, hey, hey! [he darts back to where the taller man waited. There's water dripping from his legs and his cupped hand where he holds a lotus head.]

What about this one? Can this be fermented into wine?

[For a cute little rabbit, he sure cared about alcohol a lot...]

Leanne | Fire Emblem | F/M

[song_princess]

[Pet: Multiple options if pet.

Owner: If owner, she would spoil the pet rotten and is also easily pushed around by them. She will just try and make the pet feel as loved as they possibly can feel.

Only no in the list is Pet Play.]

Have a fox boy bodyguard!

[damn_kitsune]

[Most people would have viewed a fox person as a designer exotic pet. A pet more popular with those who are well-to-do. So of course some would-be muggers would have thought that a woman with a fox person pet was probably wealthy.

[Now those would-be muggers were now on the ground groaning while Mitsuhide held his mistress in his arms. His white tail was still fluffed out and ears back as he glared at the men, still seeing them as a threat to his mistress even though he had already done a good job in beating them. Obviously, they didn't expect a fox to make such a good guard animal.]

A strong fox boy!

[song_princess]

[To those that know Leanne, they know that she really wasn't one for either designer or exotic pets. Much less one that strikes both at the same time! But yet, somehow she managed to get a fox as a pet.

It was supposed to be a simple walk to go shopping, what she didn't expect was to be in a mugging situation. Or at least.. It used to be a mugging situation as now all of her muggers were currently on the ground and she was being held against her fox. He was growling and still on edge it seems judging by his ears and tail.

This... This wasn't the norm. Foxes are a luxery pet. This was defintely above what foxes are supposed to be known for!]

It's... It's okay...

[Shock of the event was slowly waning and Leanne reaches up to try and rub an ear.]

You got them good, we should leave before they wake.

[Seriously the fight was over before the muggers really had a chance.]

And I can't really breathe. You are holding me too tight.

[damn_kitsune]

[At his ear being rubbed, Mitsuhide relaxed a little and loosened his hold on her. His hold on her then switched to him carrying her bridal style as he stepped around the men to get away from the scene.]

My apologies, Mistress. I didn't mean to stress you out.

[He could feel her trembling in his arms.]

You're not hurt anywhere, are you?

[song_princess]

[He was relaxing good. Good. Maybe they should head home so she can recover from this. She lets out a surprised sound when he picks her up and her face instantly turns red at being carried bridal style.

Though she can't stop trembling and really wanted the comfort that his arms was giving her.]

No.... I am not hurt. You stopped them before they could hurt me, Mitsuhide.

[Okay, let's take a few deep breaths.]

Let's go home... I think I need to go home now.

Have a performing peacock too!

[smilingarmor]

[Sylvando ran a comb through his hair, then delicately straightened his crest feathers, examining the the results in the mirror with a smile. Perfect, as usual. He then ran a hand down over his chest, smoothing down the already pristine feathers there too. He'd deliberately chosen a shirt for this show with a low neckline and an exposed back; peacocks were well known for their extravagant tails, of course, but only the most well bred and meticulously cared for also developed shorter, shimmering blue feathers up the middle of their back and chest, and Sylvando meant to show his off for the world to see.]

Mistress Leanne, be a dear and make sure my back and tail feathers are straight, would you?

[He was almost certain that they were; he was very careful after all. But any excuse to have his Mistress stroke his back feathers. When he was in heat or otherwise aroused, that sort of feather stroking drove him absolutely wild, but it was pleasant under any circumstances.]

I love this! XD

[song_princess]

[Getting a peacock was something that she never imagined herself getting. They were not only exotic but what she had heard before hand, very hard to take care of. The hard part she learned was semi-true and thus, she often took him to shows to try and win some earnings to help pay for his expenses. It took a few winnings before it started to pay off as some of the winnings couldn't even pay for the pampering expenses for him.

It did wear down her morale for a while but she did her best not to show it to her beloved pet. He always needed to be at his best at all times and also... There were times that she wouldn't trade for anything in the world with him.]

Your back and tail feathers? Didn't you just look at them?

[But.... It was for a show and like always, despite questioning it, lets herself be bossed around by him. She has learned how he liked his feathers to be touched and goes to stroke his back and tail feathers. Thanks to whenever he was in heat or aroused, she had learned just how much he enjoyed her touching them as her fingers goes to pet and stroke those feathers.]

I'm glad! XD

[smilingarmor]

[Sylvando was aware that he could be a bit much sometimes and did his best not to make things too difficult for his darling Mistress. She really was too generous for her own good sometimes. But at the same time, he was hardly going to turn down a bit of pampering. And the fact that she was willing to spring for spa days, good quality shampoos, and all natural feather oils got good results for both of them. He glowed with health and all the vibrant beauty his kind were known for; the very picture of peacock perfection.

Though of course he did more than just look pretty. He was an excellent dancer and juggler, and knew a few magic tricks as well, always wowing the judges as much with his talent as his looks. And at home he was an excellent cook, keeping both himself and his Mistress well fed, and was as comfortable with a feather duster in his hand as a performance fan. He'd even been working on designing some new outfits for the both of them, though those he wasn't quite ready to show off yet.

For now, he simply smiled over his shoulder at his Mistress. Oh so innocent.]

A bit, but you can see them so much better than I can, darling, even with the mirror.

[Which was true, whatever his ulterior motive might be; he was quite flexible, but there was only so far he could crane his neck around. And it really was critical for his tail to look good. A peacock's tail was his pride and joy, and a good bit of how he was judged.

He gave a soft warble as she stroked his back, smoothing down the feathers, a bit of tension melting out of his shoulders. Yes, that was just what he'd needed, feather fixing or no.]

Thank you, Mistress dear. I needed that.

[It was a little odd for him to be quite so tense before a show. Alert, yes, but usually not quite this keyed up.]

This is going to be beautiful I just know it. XD

[song_princess]

[Her precious peacock, she really didn't want him to have anything but the pampered life and not to have any worries at all. He was worth all of the pampering and spending money on the spa trips, getting the expensive shampoos and feather oils. Especially since the result ending up making him the very definition of a peacock's beauty to her.

It also helps that he was also such a caring pet as well. Cooking and helping with the cleaning, while most show pets would never dare to touch a cleaning cloth or a kitchen pan. Or at least according to other owners how their pet lives were like. It made her realize just how precious and loving her pet was.

When she felt his eyes on her, she couldn't help but to smile back up at him.]

I won't let you down, Sylvando. You are going to be amazing at the show.

[Just give her a few as she did her best to make sure that each feather was at their proper place oh so perfectly. Even going as far as putting on some extra oil to help make them shine just that much more without looking oily.

The soft warbles were always a cute sound to her and she couldn't help but to giggle when he warbles. Though, his tenseness was concerning and she was starting to fret over him a little.]

You are welcome. Hey.... It's going to be okay. You are going to do just fine. Even if you don't place, I will still be happy and proud of you. So very proud of you, my silly peacock. And the judges would have to be blind not to pick you.

[She spoke as she straightens herself up before leaning over to give him a small kiss on the cheek to give him encouragement.]

Let me get a bit more dressed up and then we can go.

How about....a blind wolf?

[aries_saint]

At one of the local rescue shelters where bright balloons long tables of freebies, and goodies of snacks were offered as incentives to invite prospective owners to take home a rescued pet person. All pets were medically checked, with their profiles written up in display by the stalls. Every rescue has properly gone through training and counseling in rehab in preparation to be adopted in a home and for domestic life.

Resting in one of the stalls, there's a wolf. Previously a stray on the streets, he is all cleaned up with puffs of wolf ears and his tail sticking out, his long hair tied up in a ponytail for the show, a blindfold wrapped around his head, and a sword resting on his lap. His profile said he's quiet and a loner by nature, as he didn't have a pack. As to how he became blind, he lost them in a territorial war against a stronger wolf and enemy pack.

"Oh that's not a dog, that's a wolf." said the worker. "When we found him, he's very sick and he's been known to injure and fight the other strays on the street for food. It took a while for him to heal because he has broken ribs and limbs probably from the fighting of the other wolves and from being ganged up. He becomes blind because we couldn't save his eyes from the infection. His behavioral problems have been addressed in rehab for his fighting and aggression because of his wolf. When he passed, we return his sword and he's ready to be a guard for the right family."

A pause, a beat, "This one doesn't speak or play much, but he very much wants to be a bodyguard." The shelter worker said. "We ask for his name. He said it doesn't matter and preferred his future owner to name him."

Ooooo~ That could be fun. For Leanne's job, I was thinking of either a model or opera singer.

[song_princess]

Leanne has seen the ads online and the flyers at the local stores for an adoption event. She wasn't really looking for a pet per say but, if one caught her eyes she wouldn't be against bringing it home. Especially now she had a job that made it easier to have one. She already had a goody bag full of freebies and snacks not long after arriving here. Glad that so far, no one recognized her.

She took her time, looking at every stall she came across to see if any would be the one for her. There were those that caught her eye but their personality wasn't a good match for her. She then stops in front of a stall with what she thought was a rather big dog in it... Only to be told that he was a wolf.

"A wolf?" She listens to his story and then frowns a little. This poor thing, he went through so much. When she hears his desire to be a bodyguard, she frowns a little before letting out a small sigh. She goes to press a hand against the stall so he could catch her scent a bit easier.

"I hear you don't have a name... Want to come home with me? I don't have much to give but I can give you all that I can." Which some of it are lies but she doesn't want people to realize just who she is yet. At least, not until she signs the papers.

Can be small business owner or office worker or unemployed lol, doesn't matter

[aries_saint]

"He went through counseling and rehab just like the other pets. He would do well with a small family, but he doesn't play with the toys we had given him." So probably he isn't good for a family of children.

"...No name." Warily, he came up to her to catch her scent. A wolf's nose is powerful to catch a specific scent for miles. He didn't answer at first, studying her with his nose and hearing with his ears. His expression is stoic, but he simply gives a nod.

"It seems he wants to go with you. If you want to adopt him, you just need to read these papers." Leanne will be given instructions in the proper care of a wolf. She learns his type needs lots of exercises and eats lots of meat, a lot of meat both cooked and raw, and not just typical dog food.

lol okay~

[song_princess]

"I live by myself so he won't need to worry about playing with toys. Does he like to do anything in particular?" Just so she can get him something to keep himself entertained while she works.

A nervous look comes across her face as he came up to sniff at her. Why? Why was she so nervous? She lets out a small sigh of relief as he nod.

"He picked me, I guess then he will come home with me." She takes the papers and starts to read them over. So... So much care he needs. A hand lifts as she goes to message her temple. "May I bring these home to study them better? Or at least copies of each one." It was a good thing that she doesn't need to go into work for a few days.

A small sigh as she looks towards the wolf. "I will need to come up with a good name for you."

Adela | Original Character | OTA, F/M 18+ for shipping

[enchantressofore]

[[ OoC: Up for either.
As an owner, Adela tries very hard to keep her pet happy and healthy but does get tired and might grumble about doing what their pet wants (though chances are she'll still do it in the end). She might even wind up spoiling them a bit, and as much as she tries she's not much of a disciplinarian.
As a pet, she's a bit of a finicky cat who doesn't really like being forced into doing anything, but can be bribed with treats and petting (or other things if we want to go there). If she's been with her owner for a long time, it's going to be assumed that there's a lot of trust built and she might get into mischief just to see what she can get away with and/or push buttons.
Please ask if you have any questions or want to go into smuttier options! ]]

mermaid | creature of legend

[the_mer]

[ She is a mermaid, no canon but the myths of the sea. She would likely be a pet unless there was another aquatic creature. Up for friendly relationship or contentious. She is formidable, this isn't just the little mermaid. ]

Date Masamune | Ikemen Sengoku | OTA, 18+ for Shipping

[onecupdrunk]

[[ OoC: Doting pet owner who makes the most delicious food on the planet for his pet, and he would want to play with them and spoil them rotten. Alternately, a very bite-y affectionate tiger who does in fact make a habit of pouncing on his owner. Please ask if you have any questions or want to go into smuttier options! ]]

[song_princess]

[Would you prefer for him to be the owner or pet? Also any prompts in particular catches your eye? As for shipping/smutty things, shall we see where the thread leads as for me I am good with not having smut if it doesn't flow with the thread.]

[onecupdrunk]

[[ OoC: Leanne may be three for three for rowdy pets. Though this one tigger-pouncing her might be a pretty fun visual, especially if it's after she's been gone for a while. Masamune can 100% care for himself, but Leanne would let him feel like he could be a little bit spoiled every so often. Which would be met with boatloads of affection. Perhaps he's an exotic pet rescue? ]]

[song_princess]

[[OOC: Leanne is forever cursed with rowdy pets. XD Okay, I giggle-snorted at the image of him tigger-pouncing her. And yes, she would spoil him rotten whenever she is home. Oooo I like that. She comes in to get a normal pet and then somehow comes home with an overly affectionate tiger.]]

[onecupdrunk]

[[ OoC: Sounds all good then! I'm not sure I can come up with a starter right this second but maybe at some point tomorrow before work? ]]

closed; for smilingarmor (booooo usercodes don't work in this line)

[a_perfect_end]

It's a perfect sunny May day, vibrant and lightly clouded over. The rich, heavenly tang of a fresh mowing radiates up from the grass. The park may not exactly be the cruising paradise of his younger fever dreams, but that's no big deal. He's made some good friends here. Kathleen is a babe, even with that snooty collar, and Tyler taught him about touch football. A housecat! Quarterbacking! Of all things! Man, he's great.

When Lumi's been super extra good, Master Caleb brings him to the park and just lets him do his thing. He'll be around, of course--it's okay, it's safe--but Lumi's got some freedom to cut loose at speed, go for a run without worrying about knocking things down or crashing into anyone or anything. It's definitely better for his energy levels, and his outlook. He doesn't really need the whole enchilada, not today, so he starts with a light jog, Frisbee tucked under his arm, tail bumping against it and him in rhythm.

He still wants to try for the flip, once he's warmed up. He can get the handstand, finally. Catching the disc from there is gonna be a bit of a stretch, but a flip would be sick. Way more agile. So off he goes, easy strides covering grass and pavement alike, enjoying the pace and engrossed in the idea of flying through the air, even for a moment, and landing on his feet.

It's the effort that counts, right? He doesn't have to be scared he might lose, because it's not about winning. It's all about how you play the game.

When Lumi crests the little hill at the end of the path, he sees something that just, kind of, grabs his breath and cuts his stride in half, and gives him just enough forethought left to lope off the path, out of the other joggers' way.

There, perched on one of the benches and stretching way out, is the longest, most elegant shape he has ever seen, sleekly inhuman and impossibly bright. He can feel his ears reaching all the way for the sky, stiff as antennae. His instincts rumble snake mongoose ferret chick bird--before settling on--

"Dude!" Appreciatively, a cheerful bark of admiration. "You're beautiful. Is that kung fu?"

He's never seen a bird with such sparkling feathers, and whatever they're doing, it is the most elegant maneuver he has ever seen, and also this marvelous being can get their leg all the way behind their own head.

Bravo!
