Lovey Dovey Ask: 15, 23, and 28 for Carewyn, Jacob, Erik, Ana, Farid, Jackson, Desiree, and Eli?
Whoo, a wonderful, long list! <33 Let's see...rapid fire!
♥ (15) What is your OC’s favorite type of Valentine’s Day candy?
Jacob: Anything chocolate! Especially good quality chocolate like Cadbury.
Ana: Conversation Hearts...not really to eat, though, she just thinks they're cute. <3
Farid: Farid doesn't celebrate Valentine's Day, but he likes making strawberry lassi as a treat for her sister Rim's birthday, which is also in February.
Jackson: Chocolate-covered strawberries and marzipan.
Desiree: Desi's not huge into candy in general, let alone for Valentine's Day. She much prefers fresh fruit when looking for sweets...perhaps cherries or passion fruit?
Eli: Raspberry or strawberry Jello. Eli loves Jello.
♥ (23) What is your OC’s favorite nice thing to do for themselves?
Carewyn: Some nice alone time in her flat after a long shift curled up on the sofa under a bunch of blankets with a cup of coffee and a good book.
Jacob: Honestly, his whole traveling life style kind of works for this -- traveling and seeing new things is how Jacob most enjoys himself.
Erik: Sharing a night off and a nice vintage wine with his wife Roxy. @mira-shard
Ana: Buying a new book for her collection -- she just loves that "new book" smell!
Farid: Sitting with an animal in his lap for a while and petting it. ...Yes, sometimes this can be a cat or a dog, but more often it's Fawkes the phoenix or a bloody chimaera. 😂
Jackson: Go window shopping! Even if he doesn't end up buying anything, he always looks out for gifts for himself and others!
Desiree: Reading, mostly...but also translating! She loves finding old artifacts in her room and taking the next few hours translating any text or codes she finds.
Eli: Sleeping in past noon and lounging around his apartment in his bathrobe and pants all day reading the newspaper, when he actually manages to have a whole day off to himself.
♥ (28) What is something unconventional that your OC thinks is romantic?
Carewyn: However organized Carewyn is, she does find it oddly charming when Orion leaves her notes and small gifts to find, sometimes even by mischievously leaving something out of its “usual” spot. (Example: he might move the paper towel rack in the kitchen so that when Carewyn moves it back, she finds a note from Orion telling her that she smiled beautifully in her sleep last night and to try to hold that happy dream she was having with her as long as she can.) He also likes leaving single flowers in her desk drawer for her to find.
Jacob: Duncan got an unusual amount of happy blushing and watery eyes from Jacob whenever he ever spoke well of or expressed concern for Carewyn. Jacob cherishes his little sister like no one else, so knowing someone he loves also loves his family as much as he does means a lot.
Erik: Roxy got quite a few awkward blushes out of Erik whenever she could read his emotions like an open book and articulated them without any difficulty. Erik is a very brain-oriented INTJ who hides a lot of insecurities with confidence and snark, and intelligence is both incredibly sexy to him, so being therapist Roxy being emotionally intelligent enough to predict his behavior or cut through his crap is very attractive to him.
Ana: Long, handwritten letters on parchment! Ana writes a lot to everyone, including her other half Charlie Copper @drinkyoursoupbitch , but Ana always uses quill, ink, and parchment to write because she finds the whole image rather Jane-Austen-esque.
Farid: Farid’s main love language is acts of service, so he actually really likes it when someone spontaneously does household chores like washing the dishes for him without being asked.
Jackson: Fixing someone’s (read: Monty’s @cursebreakerfarrier) tie. 💙
Desiree: Going to museums!! She loved it when her other half Jules @kathrynalicemc took her to the British Museum for the first time and he gave her a personalized tour based on when he used to work there. (Including sneaking under an Invisibility Cloak into some employee-only areas because hey, what’s life without a little rule-breaking? 😏)
Eli: As the resident grayromantic of my muses, Eli honestly doesn’t get romantic flashes too often. One of his unusual sexual turn-ons, though, are low singing voices — Alto and Bass voices really excite him.
