The Other Mother Meme

Everyone has one. A better mother. One that loves you more, is nicer, will give you anything you've ever wanted. There's just something...off. Everything is too perfect.
But, hey, you're finally happy. What more could you ask for?

There's just one thing you have to do for her.

The buttons have to go on.

How To Play

1. Comment with your journal, listing name and fandom.

2. Other people reply to you based on what number they draw. You both roll RNG to detirmine who is the victim (1) and who is the rescuer (2).

3. Roll RNG (1-10) to chose your scene.

4. Have fun!




1. I fixed them

You're not you. Not really. The Other Mother made you to be her new pet's friend. And her spy. Only you don't want to help her. You have to tell them. But how? Maybe something's stopping you; you're mute, the words just won't come or maybe the Other Mother finds you just as you start.

2. Ghost Kids

She loved you once upon a time. And you let her sew the buttons on, because she told you she would let you stay forever? Who wouldn't want that? But then slowly...very slowly, she ate you up. Now she's hunting a new pet. A new meal. You have to stop it before they end up like you! But how...you're a ghost now...how can you reach them?
Guess you better figure it out.

3. Other Father

You don't really want to make them stay, but you're forced to. Break it to the kid gently that their fate fucking sucks.

4. She Hates Cats

You come and go as you please. The Other Mother simply hates that - and you. She thinks you're vermin, a pest, horrible. How better to repay her than to ruin her next snack by saving it from her cluthes?


5. Neighbor Kid

You've lived here all your life, and there's a new neighbor! You're not sure if you like this new kid, but Granny's been telling you stories and the kid's acting funny. Funnier. And if it means skipping chores or homework, it's worth checking in on them, right?
You follow them through that tiny door, and what you find is so...strange. Everyone's looking at you funny though, treating you like you don't belong. Something's off, what is it? Maybe it's best to listen to yer gut and get the two of you out of there.

(You can make your own relationship to the victim too.)

6. Real Familial Figures

You're not sure what's going on but you have noticed the disappearances. You know that whoever lives in that house, some kid vanishes. And it needs to stop. Pretend you're a family member or close enough to be one. Figure out what's going on before their friend/child/sibling vanishes again and doesn't come back like all the others.

7. Black is Traditional

You tried to stop it. You really did. But you're just seconds too late. They're sewing the buttons onto their eyes just as you arrive. What you tried to stop can't be undone. Do you watch? Do you do something?

8. It's Finally Over

The Other Mother has been defeated - or so you hope - and you're now back in the real world. Play out how it immediately affects your life. The aftermath can be bloody.

9. Revenge of the Beldame

You've been married/together with the person you once faced the Other Mother with. And defeated. Or so you thought. But now she's back and she has your kid. How do you prove it to your significant other and how are you going to get them back?

10. Random!

[Chocola had been keeping a close eye on the new kid here since his arrival, but not made a move until now. The Beldame would notice if she went to action too soon and then all might be lost. As it looked like now she would get the time she needed to warn about this place.]

Hey kid!

[She was flying on a broom above his head and grinned down at him.]

[attention_wenches]

[Loki was excellent prey for a creature that baited its lures with simple solutions to unhappiness, and while he was suspicious, the promise of a better world was intoxicating. The queen with button eyes had shown him such wonders, offered him a brother who listened and didn't tease, a father who attended him and whose single button had glittered with real affection. Left to soak it up in a library that seemed to have neither beginning nor end, he was grinning dreamily to himself when the sudden call interrupted him.

He looked up and frowned. He could tell at a glance that this one didn't belong to his perfect world.]

And who are you meant to be?

[No buttons.]

[chocorune]

Chocola Meilleure. Nice place this, ain't it?

[not that she would buy a deal like that. A dead mother was hard to impersonate and even if she would be presented with a perfect world button eyes was not her thing.]

A bit too nice don't you think?

[The day the new family had moved in Yukimura and his family had went over to greet them. It had only been a short visit, but Yukimura couldn't get the feeling that something was wrong out of his head. He decided to research the house then and what he found out was a bit offsetting. Several families that had lived there before had lost their children.

That was enough for him to walk over and ring on the doorbell. Something was wrong with this place.]

[spideyfanone]

[Kurt was usually shy about answering the door. As a rule, people weren't too welcoming to the blue kid. But both his parents were busy, and he made a decent effort to cover up his hesitancy with a fangy smile as he opened the door.]

Hi?

[Social interactions had never been a specialty.]

[Oh, dear, not another one. He's not sure if he just has a very suspicious nature or if the Beldame is usually better at picking unhappy, credulous children. Probably a bit of both.]

[He watches from up high while she shows her glittering spiderweb to the newest pet, skulking in the darkness she provides plenty of behind the facades and that he makes himself pretty ably. He waits for her to leave him alone, as she inevitably will, to let it all soak in.]

[And in a puff of pinkish, sulfurous smoke, he appears behind the new toy, perched up on a branch at shoulder height.]

Hi, there.

[not_srs]

[Regulus watched as his Other Mother strolled back into the Not Grimmauld Place. This Other Mother looked like Walburga Black in almost every way... except she smiled more, had yet to scream at anyone or anything, and actually seemed to act like a proper mother. And the glittering buttons for eyes, there was that too.

The Other Father was warmer and didn't just look through them all like they were a temporary nuisance to be tolerated. There was even a Other Sirius, happy and eager to not just be around Regulus but with the rest of them as well.

And they all had buttons for eyes...

Regulus yelped at the puff of smoke and the unexpected voice from behind him. He turned and stared at the newcomer.]

Where... Where are your buttons?

[The Other Mother just wanted Derek to be happy. Other Stiles didn't know why he was still around then - she might have made him to suit what Derek wanted out of him but she still made him in the image of the real Stiles.

And the real Stiles wouldn't want to let the idiot just stay here forever and get gobbled.

Only problem was, she'd taken his voice. That what everyone found the most grating about him (real him); his inability to shut up. Well now he couldn't even make a little peep. And wasn't that just perfect.

And here they were. Another day, another parade of love. Oh, he was getting sick of playing along.

Once Other Stiles was a little more sure the Other Mother was preoccupied he tugged Derek away from her - just a little ways. She'd be able to tell if he was leaving.]

i haven't actually seen coreline so i'm just fudging this... :/

[dramaticsigh]

[Derek isn't quite sure how he got here, but he stopped caring the instant he realized that the woman standing by the stove is his mom. Talia looks exactly the same she had the morning of the fire, when she dragged him out of bed and forced him to eat breakfast before sending him off to school. He had almost forgotten the way her hair would light up when hit from behind, the sun illuminating the faint auburn in her hair and making her look golden, burnished, magical.

(She has buttons for eyes. His father has buttons for eyes. Everyone does, his siblings, his cousins, Peter, Stiles... For some reason he doesn't question it.)

He's in the kitchen again, waiting for Talia to finish making the batter for pancakes, when Stiles comes in. Even the button eyes he's wearing aren't enough to stop Derek from beaming at him — everything makes him smile now. Life is wonderful. He's got his family back.]

Yeah? [He ducks his head down a little to put it closer to Stiles' mouth, even though as of yet he hasn't said a single word since Derek has found him. It's weird, but he doesn't want to question it. Questioning it might make this fall apart and he can't handle that, he can't. This has to stay just the way it is, the idea of losing his family a second time...]

[Her mother's been dead for quite some time in canon. It could lead to any number of AU scenarios.]

[The house was taking form again- bigger than Cassie had ever seen it, all stone and gauzy curtains and a hot dry breeze through the latticed windows. A cellar defined itself around her at the last minute, shielding her from the artificial sunlight. Small comfort, given the beldam must have remembered she was there.

As soon as night fell and she could hope to leave without burning, Cassie was up, drifting along the walls to search for weaknesses. If she could find a way out, maybe she could catch the new one alone. Maybe this time she could warn them before it was too late.]
