Surrender all the dog boys and nobody gets hurt

PET PERSON 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.

[Since she’s a catgirl I’d love to play with her tsundere side. Acting like she doesn’t notice him come home but then stalking him around the house when she doesn’t get attention. Other than that, standard more sensitive to touch and petting especially on her ears and tail.]

[ Oh sure that sounds really cute to me I'm into it! I'm thinking Lex applied to any sort of modern world is sort of like a gig economy odd jobs fellow so he'd probably live in a relatively small apartment, but in order to give the catgirl more leeway to have places to hide we can say he has a somewhat bigger one to accommodate for her. You think he's had her basically her whole life or a more recent connection (purchase? guess depends on the world)? ]
wanttoconfess: (Sparkle)

[personal profile] wanttoconfess 2023-05-13 12:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[I’d go a little bigger place for this. I think she’s fairly young but he’s had her maybe six months, enough time for her to be used to him and need his affection, but not enough time to earn how to ask for it. If that all sounds good I can start or you can, whichever you prefer.]

[ I'm fine with starting (though as I was thinking of just kicking off with a him coming home to not knowing where she hid herself type situation it might make as much sense for you to if you feel inspired feel free, including starting with an answer to this as weel) but to check on one more point given this is at least sort of a smut meme - in light of that limited time together so far, any sexual connection between them yet or no do you think? ]

((Can be either the owner or a pet. Open to all prompts, and the only NO's would be non-con, incest, and anything belonging to the toilet.

As the Owner, he would be a stern yet fair one who does his best to keep his pet happy and well-trained. A therapy pet would be best for him, given that he's been in the military since he was 13, and hails from a JRPG game. But he's also just as likely to take in a stray or a Free if he thinks they need a safe place to stay for a while.

As the Pet, he can either be a Large Dog or a Big Feline type of species, or even be a mystical creature if his owner his wealthy enough to afford him. Best as a bodyguard, but also happy to just be there as a quiet supporter in whatever you do...so long as you treat him fair and don't betray his trust, of course. He has Little Tolerance for those who mistreat him, so be careful if you try to do so!))

[personal profile] immortalmarshal 2023-05-11 12:26 pm (UTC)(link)
((He can be her bodyguard dog! He's clearly protective of her, but it's purely out of love and devotion for his young mistress. Any particular prompt or kink you wanna include for this?))
wanttoconfess: (Huh)

[personal profile] wanttoconfess 2023-05-11 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
((I had an idea where she goes out and gets in over her head, being harassed on the street and he bailed her out. Now they’re home and she’s offering him sex both as a reward for his devotion and to make herself feel better.

Since he’s a guard dog I’m thinking just lean into that hard. Doggy style and knotting if those work.))
immortalmarshal: (talking about positive things for once)

[personal profile] immortalmarshal 2023-05-11 01:08 pm (UTC)(link)
((I am down with all of that! And Cor would be more than happy to keep his knot lodged inside of her as long as she wants him to. Or have more than one round with her. :3 Would you be willing to start for us?))

Kaguya was practically shaking by the time they got home. All she’d wanted to do was run a simple errand, a rare opportunity for her, and fate placed those… pigs in her way. They’d said such unkind and suggestive thing to her. Luckily when one of them dared to put his arm around her Cor had leapt into action and knocked him to the ground scaring his buddies away.

Speaking of which her loyal pet had been following her the whole time. He knew to give her a bit of space to let her calm down, but right now she wanted reassurance. So when they got to her bedroom door she beckoned him inside. Sitting on the edge of the bed she motioned for him to sit next to her and when he did she reaches up to stroke his ears.

“You saved me today. I want you to know how thankful I am. Even if I couldn’t get my new dress I’m glad I have you by my side.”

[Absolutely!]

Lily’s curled up beside her master when she feels the bed tremble. It’s not usual to have a cat as a therapy animal (they’re considered too aloof, finicky besides), but Lil is neither of those. Of course, she’s a ragdoll, the “dog” of cats, loyal, sweet, and patient. All things that come in handy when dealing with an ex-soldier with PTSD.

When the bed trembles, she stirs, opening blue eyes and focusing them on his long, broad form. She crawls up over him, rubbing her cheek against his shoulder, his chest, purring. When it doesn’t seem to help, she moves down his body, turning her attention to the one part of him guaranteed to stir him into a better place. She noses against his cock and then rubs her cheek against him, nuzzling between his legs as her hands gently knead the bed beside his hips. She begins to lap gently at his skin, bathing his cock in licks.

“Master Cor...” she purrs, focusing her attention on the broad tip, flicking her punk tongue against it in determined kisses.

[More likely to be a master! And as a master he is highly affectionate, indulgent, prone to be taken advantage of, and fails to see why he shouldn't treat his pet as a person to love. He's also rich as hell.]

[also open to playing as a pet, many possible species, but affectionate and carefree and... also failing to see why there's anything wrong with a pet and their owner smooching.]

[As a Master is more likely to have taken in a stray or gifted a pet rather than purchasing one, or maybe even having an ESA. Not the type to ask much from his pet and might be a bit awkward about their 'needs', but not exactly disinterested in that aspect either.

As a Pet likely a more independent creature such as a cat, bird or reptile. Not overly affectionate but very loyal once bonded]

[ m/m, crosscanon welcome! can fill either role.

as a pet, he's an expressive, usually bright dog with ears and a tail that match his hair. his loyalty is unmatched and he'd do anything for his master.

as an owner, he's doting and more than happy to indulge and spoil his pet. he's also likely to feed and tend to strays, probably taking them in. ]
