brats + tamers

for smut + shipping

Some people like to push buttons and rile others up. We call those people brats. Opposing them, some people like the challenge of keeping brats in line. We call those people tamers.

In this meme, brats can live their best, bratty lives, and tamers can do their best to keep these randy brats in order. You've got your everyday brats, your brats in the bedroom, your brats who can't resist a challenge... something for everyone!

how to play

Comment with your character, your preferences, and whether your character is on the bratty side of things, or the brat tamer side of things.
- Being bratty doesn't necessarily mean being a bottom. Being bratty doesn't have to involve ageplay, or daddy kinks, or anything else [unless you want it to]! For the sake of this meme, brats are troublemakers, rebels, and the kinds of people who say 'make me' upon being asked to do something.
- Similarly, tamers don't have to be sadistic, domineering monsters [unless, again, that's your thing]! Taming a brat can take all kinds of forms: being gentle, being persuasive, bargaining, compromises, and, of course, the more hands-on techniques.

Brats and tamers, get to work!

for the brats
Your character can be bratty all by themselves.

spoiled - You've been given what you want for so long, you've come to expect it. Ugh, the worst kind of brat!
needy - You want something, but saying it directly is too hard, or too much work. So, you beat around the bush a bit...
asshole - Wow, you're just kind of a jerk, huh? That's fine. For you, being bratty is more a side effect of being a dick.
cutesy / fun - You're in it for the LOLs. Maybe you aren't taking this seriously, and that's why you're able to have fun with it.
teasing - You know what you're supposed to be doing, but it's so much more fun to push back and try to earn a reaction from the other.
backtalk - It always has to be a fight with you, huh...
masochist - All this brattiness is going to result in one hell of a punishment, and you're banking on it.
brat's choice - You're picking something that isn't even on this list? How bratty and defiant of you.

for the tamers
You can tame your own way.

placating - You're tolerating it... for now. In your head, though, chances are you've got a hundred ideas about how to change this behavior.
rules - There needs to be something for your brat to push back against, right? You need to establish some rules to break!
title - It's not necessary, but a fancy title like Miss, Ma'am, Sir, Daddy, et cetera, can go a long way.
punishment - The greatest tool in a brat tamer's arsenal: all crimes need a punishment in turn. Go standard with a good spank to the rear, or get creative with things.
control - A central tenet of any type of play. Tamers are the ones in control, and there are any number of ways to make it known.
sadistic - Someone's taking joy in have another at their mercy.
aftercare - Well, that was fun, but now it's time to wind down with some water and cuddles.
tamer's choice - Your play, your rules!
