The Piggyback Ride Meme

Ahhh. The immortal piggyback ride. So versatile, there are so many uses for it—to transport the injured and the beloved, as a means of showing affection, and to even play. It's not just for romance. It can be done between parent and child, siblings, friends, medic and patient, even complete strangers and, in those rare moments, mortal enemies! Just be sure the person can carry you, yeah?

How this works:
→ Leave a comment with the usual information in the subject line: character name, fandom. Any preferences, including what you don't want, should be included as well. If you want, indicate if you want your character to Carry, Be Carried, or Both.
→ Congratulations. Your character is one half of a piggyback ride with whoever tags them!
→ Tag around.
→ Feel free to roll RNG (1-9) if you cannot come up with scenarios of your own.
→ Have fun, and be excellent to each other!

• 1 — Injury. (You can't walk like that. Here, let me carry you . . . )
• 2 — Romantic. (Obligatory shippy option.)
• 3 — Escape. (You're on the run and one of you is moving too slow or can't move at all!)
• 4 — Surprise! (That back right there? I'm going to jump the fuck on it and they don't even know it yet!)
• 5 — Duty. (EMT, military and disaster recovery personnel, firemen, etc. are sometimes required to carry civilians like this.)
• 6 — Game. (Chicken fight, park games, made-up games, whatever!)
• 7 — Wasted. (Go home, you're drunk. Except you can't walk . . . )
• 8 — Platonic or Familial. (It's such a beautiful day, can I carry you?)
• 9 — Fuck da police. (In other words, the random/whatever option.)

Kozue Kaoru | Revolutionary Girl Utena

[wildanimal]

1

[revolutionized]

[Admittedly, Utena doesn't know much about Miki's sister, hasn't really gotten to know her. She isn't sure Kozue wants anyone to know much about her. Utena likes Miki, finds him charming in an innocent sort of way, but Kozue is different.

Kozue makes her a little uncomfortable. It's not a discomfort she actively notices or acknowledges, and she tells herself it's silly, anyway. What harm was Miki-kun's little sister? It was just Utena's overactive imagination, lately.

They're in this current situation by chance. One wrong misstep during a volleyball match, and here Kozue was, with a twisted ankle. At least it hadn't been her falling from a building, this time. But Utena had been in the area, and Miki wasn't around, so she'd taken it upon herself to help Kozue home.

It had all been very gallant. There had been a few envious glances thrown Kozue's way, but Utena didn't notice anything like that (she never did). Kozue's a little lighter than Wakaba, more fragile. All small-boned, like a bird.

She weighs barely anything at all, if Utena doesn't think much on it.]

Say, Kozue-chan, are you alright back there? If I'm moving too quickly, just tell me.

[ylissa]

[This is the pits. It feels like they've been walking for days (which would be a pretty accurate feeling, considering how long they've been marching). Of course Chrom is up front, like always, tirelessly leading the way while Lissa is slowly falling to the back of the group. She's not about to complain, but sometimes it's hard to keep up. Maybe she could convince Cherche to give her a ride on Minerva...]

[xianpuu]

[For most Chinese restaurants, 'business as usual' wouldn't involve impromptu martial arts battles, doctored-up xiao lan pao dumplings, or mind-altering shiatsu technique. But this was a Nerima-ku Chinese restaurant, and as the locals would tell you, it was just another day in paradise.

Luckily business was good, and Shampoo could look into getting a new bicycle for deliveries in the morning before the lunch rush. What was a bent-up spoke and handlebar when compared to the beautiful tire-track that was left on that spatula-girl's precious little floofy white bow? That bruise Ukyo'd be nursing was worth one-thousand new bikes. Hrmph.]

At least...[Shampoo sat up on the sidewalk, dusting herself off with an overly-proud sigh.]...Shampoo come out on top this time. [Checking her fingernails and frowning at the sight of one being chipped, she balled her fingers up into soft fists and cast a mildly annoyed glare over to her coworker and housemate.] Though Shampoo still no see reason for Mousse to come along! Did just fine without you!

[99.99% chance he'll be the carrier; but very much open to him being carried.]

combo 4 & 8

[little_miss_green]

[Since you are the only one in the family (other than the green side of her dad) that won't collapse or try to stab her in the neck with a surprise attack, you are the unsuspecting victim of a sneak-attack glomp.]

[I'm sorry, Steve, she's really a five-year-old at heart.]

Bertholdt Fubar || Attack on Titan || OTA

[toobig]

{This guy is 6'3" so he's... probably gonna be the one carrying.}

Piper || OC

[eucre]

4. Any universe. Every universe.

[untakentrick]

It's hilarious, really, that Piper's not actually that short. She's actually on the tall end of middling, as women go. But it's hilarious that she's not actually all that short, and yet is so ridiculously petite in her own family of monsterously tall Chives men.

Is such a shrimp compared to her own twin brother.

So really, he should be--and most often is--the one carrying her around. She's taller even than their elder brother when she's on Feilim's back, after all. But today, even though his feet stay on the ground, Piper is the one getting attacked from behind in what largely amounts to a bear-hug. "I'm tired. Carry meee."

Mirabelle Lucia de la Rochefoucalt || OC

[thereisnoedge]

1! I can't remember if he knows where she comes from.

[hamelinic]

She's actually fairly hardy. Not at all the sort of thing he would have guessed from the look of her, the delicate sort of beauty she possessed and used so well against their unsuspecting marks.

It's possible she could walk on her twisted ankle. If they needed to, she'd certainly be able to manage. But they don't need her to. There's no rush. There's no need, this far out from town, to pretend they aren't completely devoted to each other.

"Here. I'll carry you."

9 so... parade.

[beltaned]

In most lives, he's been rather tall. Longer ago, it was imposing. He stood not just a head taller than many of his compatriots, but also had a certain bulk to him--the strong build of his father.

In this life, he was still rather tall. It was just that, somehow or other, the broad shoulders and heroic presence had been lost for something a bit more compact, more weedy--less instantly powerful. It didn't mean he wasn't strong in a lean sort of fashion.

Which meant that being at the back of the crowd watching the New Year's parade wasn't actually a problem. "Hop up. I've got you."

[ uh she's 4'11" so probably the one being carried BUT SHE COULD CARRY LIKE A KID OR SOMETHING..... ]

[lifescratched]

[Who even knows how Lior got that badly injured, Connor's just glad she had magic on hand to heal herself. He offers her a hand to help her to her feet, still looking concerned. They have a long way to go from here, and her magic can take a heavy toll...]

You must be exhausted. Will you be able to walk?

2 for RENT but I am drawing a blank as to what a romantic piggyback looks like halp.

[ex_enlisting866]

( she's...probably carrying )

1 i tried anyway i hate myself

[misanthropics]

[Well, Annie's not going to complain to be honest.

It had been an accident. Faulty gear cutting out midway through an incline, and Annie had the misfortune of landing on her ankle in precisely the wrong way. Fortunately for her, she had been partnered up with Mikasa Ackerman for today's training. An extra 120 or so pounds on her back wouldn't slow a beast like her down at all.]

Guess I'll count myself lucky.

[Their relationship wasn't precisely cordial, to be honest. But at least neither of them particularly cared much for starting fights (most of the time, when rude boys or Eren didn't enter the picture).]

utena tenjou | revolutionary girl utena

[revolutionized]

[carrying! unless you are quite tall, or even more dashing than she is]

2 idk how these two can be romantic lol

[eggmooooommy]

[ How did Nanami get herself into this situation? It's like the world is out to get her or something which she just doesn't understand. She groans loudly into Utena's shoulder as the other girl carries her around school campus. ]

How much longer do you have to carry me for?
