Panther San 1
I can't stop thinking about sleep deprived Wooyoung who is walking home and when he takes a shortcut he finds a hurt cat so of course he gets near the feline, petting between its ears softly. He's soft-hearted and the cat looks so sad so he offers him to take him home. To his surprise, the cat seems to understand him by the way he looks, ears peeking up. Even more of a surprise is when the cat transforms into a beautiful man with black fluffy cat ears resting on his head. Wooyoung blinks before his brain picks up that it's a hybrid (he's tired okay). So, not wanting to leave him alone, Wooyoung offers to take him home where he can give him some food and clothes (bc his clothes look old and definitely not warm enough). They go to Wooyoung's frat house (bc I want Ateez to live together) talking lightly about everything.
Wooyoung is sure he wants to keep the hybrid (if he wants too ofc) and he's quick to let San (as he presented himself) know that while they talk a bit about themselves. San has had a hard life and Wooyoung just wants to help, maybe gain a friend in the process.
They reach the house calmly and Wooyoung guides him to his room where he gives San warmer clothes and lets him resting on his bed while he goes to prepare something to eat. However, his plan is cut short when a yell makes him go up to the rooms again.
Seonghwa and Hongjoong (two of his friends and assigned parents of the house) are in front of the closed door of his room, they look terrified. Wooyoung should've predicted this.
"It's okay, hyungs, I should've warned but I invited a cat hybrid home. I promise he's good!"
"That's not a cat, Wooyoung," Hongjoong scolds him.
"He is! I saw him on my way here and he looked hungry so I'm cooking for him. He won't be a bother, I swear."
"Woo," Seonghwa cuts him. "That is not a cat. You have a wild animal in there, it's dangerous"
A bit annoyed, Wooyoung opens the door. Just as he left him, San is lying on his bed on his cat form, head resting comfortably on the pillow and tail falling to the floor. He looks so relaxed, Wcc wants to hug him and hide his face on the soft fur.
"Look, a cat," he says calmly.
Seonghwa takes him by the arm to get him away from the room when he tries to enter, face still showing pure terror.
"That's not a cat," he hisses. "Woo, you dumb boy, that's a panther"
Okay, maybe San looks a bit big to be a cat but he has the ears and Wooyoung hasn't sleep, it's just a little confusion. Still, San is harmless. A panther is only a big cat, right?
"Kitty," Woo says nonchalantly. "Can I keep him hyung? Pretty please?"
Hongjoong was going to say no but the panther looks up, piercing threatening gaze looking directly at him, and he can't refuse, not when he fears the panther will tear him apart with those teeth that look like blades.
"S-sure, but he better be a good roommate or he's out"
"Okay! Did you hear Sannie? You're staying"
The panther only purrs as an answer.
and idk anymore, but imagine college student Woo and his pet panther walking around campus, everyone scared of big threatening San who becomes so soft under Woo's touch and words. also Woo keeps defending San is only a kitty that can do no harm even when the hybrid fights everyone that even looks bad in Woo's direction bc he acts like the bestest boy in front of Woo

So one thing I’ve noticed is that people’s DnD characters may vary but there is usually an underlying thread that they all have in common. This thread is typically related to what that person struggles with the most.
For instance, my betrotheds DnD characters: a bitchy warlock we had to bust out of two different pacts, a sassy barbarian, a reformed drow cultist, and a sunshine fighter cleric.
All these characters were wildly different but at their very core struggle was them grappling with their self worth. My betrothed struggles with their worth a great deal and even with different facets showing their characters all have that too.
Mine all tend to contend with different themes of loneliness and acceptance. Surprise, surprise, the little autistic gremlin yearns to have been met with more love and lasting friendships.
So we’re at breakfast. I am meeting a new friend of my betrotheds for the first time. It’s been twenty minutes since I’ve met this man. I say my theory. He laughs. He starts to describe a few of his characters but specifies that he often has healing aspects. He gives a very broad overview of their character arcs.
I ponder for a moment then said, “Would you like to have my assessment?”
He laughed, “Sure!”
“We’ve just met. It’s gonna get real.”
“Bring it on.”
“I think your struggle is that you feel you must offer something of value or service to people to be worthy of their love.”
His jaw dropped. His fork froze midway to his mouth. A potato fell. He stared into space as this sank in. Quietly he said, “Oh.”
