Scars

the s c a r s meme
Most everyone has some sort of scars. Some are from happy accidents. Some are from events you'd rather not speak about. But sometimes, two people can share a moment over scars: Be it friendly, romantic, or 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 more 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 uncommented on?
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 soulmates scars appear on your own skin. what's that like?
10. other: wildcard option.
------------------
Post with your character's name and canon, and maybe a list of some of their scars and if you're interested in gen/shipping/etc. Reply to other people's comments by picking RNG for an option, or pick your own! A mash up of several other scar memes. Warning: May have reference to abuse, torture, violence, self-harm, or similar.

Mick Rory - Legends/DCTV
look, I dunno, I felt like it
There is shame he feels over some of those scars, because he blames himself for them. His failure of keeping the heat in check. Holding him back.
Less obviously - because Leonard has never been obvious about those things - there is the attraction. To him, everything about Mick is beautiful and the scars are a big part of that, something that tells so much about the man he is.
And there is that familiarity to the touch, when Leonard lets himself enjoy it, when he manages to let his guard down long enough for that.
Like right now, when he stands behind Mick, who is shirtless. Leonard, naturally, is still mostly fully clothed, with a long-sleeved black shirt and black jeans, but slender, deft fingers that run down Mick's arms and he moves close enough to press up against him, until his head rests against Mick's shoulder blade. He breathed slowly, carefully, seeking to be in sync with him.]
Oh never apologize for this
Which doesn't mean that he isn't aware of his surroundings. He can sense Snart behind him, barely repressing a shiver at the cool skim of his fingertips across his scars.
He remains still at the touch and at the gentle press against his skin. These moments are rare and worth appreciating.
Slowly he hooks an arm behind him, a hand resting on Snart's hip to keep him close. As always, he will let him set the pace, to voice what it is he wants.
Mick will always be there, a touchstone for his best friend, his everything.]
then shameless indulgence it is
They are embracing now and one of his hands is trailing over Mick's chest, lingering on a patch that does not feel quite right.]
That one's new.
[Another burn, he assumes, though he can't be certain when he just feels instead of sees.]
You remember what happened?

[He otherwise keeps it literally under-wraps with bandages.
[Threads are likely to go into hurt/comfort territory. Prompt 3 is innate for Mizuki, but he won't have such feelings towards other people - only himself.
[Alternatively, pre-hospitalization has Mizuki being wholeheartedly a confident, warm (almost doting) young man with perhaps only a few battle scars, but none are visible at a glance, nor are they really notable. He's more likely to be showing care to the other person than anything else, especially due to the fact that he often hides his feelings behind smiles.
[In case we want to include tattoos as also "scars," he has the teardrop tattoo under his eye, a matching abstract one on his throat, and a semi-abstract dragon on his back (though the dragon is headcanon.)]
[Shipping preferred, but for non-castmates who don't want to use handwaved CR, we can see how things go.]

[Sorry for the delay in response, as well. I have some wrist pain flaring up since 2 days ago and I was being selective in order to limit my use of it until it started to feel a little better. I may be slow at times until it heals more than it already has.
[If you happen to not be super set on Yuki being a member of Dry Juice, Mizuki is the type to even protect No-Marks (like his friend Aoba,) so that would extend to Yuki as well (and the Dry Juice members would recognize Yuki as well to permit him access to their territory without a fight.) Otherwise, he would likely have Dry Juice's tag art somewhere on his body (which Mizuki would have put on his body, himself, upon request,) but only if you think he would have wanted that.
[I'm not super familiar with Yuki's canon, but I skimmed over the anime's info on him from your info page plus the wiki.
[But yeah, they can be friends with or without joining the game (officially or unofficially,) and I can see Mizuki encouraging Yuki's passions (and probably even offering more than once to help him out.) I play him as equally passionate about his tattoo art, after all. :3]

Ariane Auravert 🌷 FFXIV OC
As far as her own, WoL!Ariane has a scattering of faint battle scars on her limbs and torso and a small nick on her chin. Not-WoL!Ariane has picked up fewer scars overall, but still has the one on her chin.]

idk idk i'm winging it
but — however small, this kitchen is his. no zeff to tell him what to cook or what menu to stick to, no two days ever the same anymore. his life is never going to be the same and he's caught up in not knowing whether to be anxious or terrified or excited, or all emotions rolled into one.
at least the company's nice.
nami remains well in view, seated at the other side of the galley, a set of maps in front of her, while he works at sharpening his knives at the counter, his eyes often peering up to catch a curious glimpse at her. her entire demeanor seems changed since they'd taken down arlong, more relaxed, compared to even the few times he'd been around her while they'd still been docked at baratie. it's relieving to witness.
he clears his throat quietly. ]
You know, I haven't had the chance to tell you yet, but that tattoo of yours — it's quite beautiful.
👉👉
sanji's words come much later than she expected, clocking in at almost twenty minutes since the evening had left the two of them alone in the galley. his presence aboard had been as surprising as his presence among the others back on coco village, but she finds herself with very little to question about it. anyone who fights as hard as he had for a virtual stranger has got to be a good person, for how very new that concept is for nami to come across these grizzly seas. luffy, it seems, has quite the knack for finding them.
it still takes her a moment to remember the tattoo on her arm is no longer the one of her imprisonment. she's sure she'll learn not to flinch at its mention someday. ]
Thanks. [ and maybe one day, gratitude won't feel so foreign and bitter on her tongue anymore. ] My sister did it. [ the truth, too. ]

now, he sees the design on her skin has changed, still bearing a faint red from the recent cover up, showing the proof of what he'd believed about her before, about where her loyalties lay, all simply coming from his own ... instincts. ]
It probably isn't my place to say it, but ... well, it suits you.
[ from across the galley, he gives her a smile, an honest one that's more kind than his usual brand of flirtatious charm, because even he knows that has its time and place. ]
Plus, we've got a long journey ahead, right? Always good to carry a piece of home.
