The Unlovables

Everyone loves a hero. As long as they're youthful, hot, charming and conventionally attractive. Meanwhile, all the old, ugly, broke down, difficult-to-love, bastards out there are toiling away in lonesome obscurity trying not to daydream too much about what a relief it would be if someone came along with a soft touch, and a kind word, and the promise that it'll be ok.

Whether canon or fandom branded them as such, whether it's well deserved or not, there's lots of unlovables. They know most beasts never transform for their beauties. They've probably noticed that even in the Disney version Quasimodo ends up alone ffs. Still, props to them for maintaining a shred of optimism about finding love. Even if they'll never admit to being hopeful.

So if you spent prom on the bleachers. If you max-out at a 5 (maybe 6 generously). If you've got a history of first dates and very few seconds; If you can guarantee you'll get the seat to yourself on the train. Chin up, champ. This one's for you

how to play:

Top level with your unlovable characters; State any prefs like gen, shippy or nsfw. Link your permissions pgs. Tell us a bit about what makes your muse a tough sell.

Comment to comfort someone the world finds difficult to love and be the real heroes in this meme.

[saito is arrogant, deceptive out of habit, and incredibly self-righteous when it comes to his aku soku zan creed (meaning to slay all evil) and his convictions. he's predatory in the sense that he loves to unnerve people and intimidate them, making sure everyone knows he's the dominant presence in any room.

he's also incredibly good at pushing other people away either due to a lack of patience or a lack of desire to form attachments. the only people he ever considered family are all dead save for a select few, he's married to a wife that is never seen in canon, and he smokes constantly. to say he's a project is an understatement, but if he comes to respect someone else, they will have a reliable ally who'll never mince words.

looking for gen cr. nothing shippy.]
