@distant-wcrlds sent:Cisco:🍭 – What are some thoughtful gift ideas to get your muse? 🍷 – Describe an ideal date for your muse. ❤ – How affectionate is your muse? How do they feel about PDA?
Gift ideas- look he’s very easy to please. Fandom gear is always a good choice, he literally cannot own enough geeky and nerdy graphic tees. The more clever and/or sarcastic the reference, the better he likes it. Comics, figurines, coffee mugs, etc all good choices. Tootsie pops, Red Vines, and flan are very much favorites, you can’t go wrong feeding his sweet tooth. Giftcard to Jitters is always appreciated, it’s not like he isn’t drinking that coffee daily and that gets pricey. Movie tickets are honestly a good choice because it forces him to try to set aside time for something besides Team Flash in order to use it. He’s really not super gifty when it comes to love language, like he really appreciates them, but he doesn’t ever really expect them from people. Kind of rolls over from Dante being more focused on, wearing his hand me downs and so on, he doesn’t have the mentality people are going to. So the smallest thing makes an impression, unless you’re being an ass about what you’re giving him, he’s going to appreciate it.
Ideal date- something nerdy or geeky. Science museum, action/sci-fi/fantasy movie, trivia night at the pub, sometimes just grabbing pizza or chinese, some beer, and making a pillow fort for bingeing something like Star Trek, or the Harry Potter movies. Basic, he’s not into a ton of money being spent and he would rather be able to just talk about nerd shit with someone who finds it interesting than be sweating about a bill in a high end restaurant.
Affectionate- So once he gets past any initial awkwardness, he’s very affectionate, mostly physically and with sharing personal space. He takes forever to build up to saying “I love you”, it means a lot to him and he doesn’t want to say it too early. He isn’t paranoid about it, but he does feel like dropping it too early can ruin things between people and he doesn’t want that. He is super wary of being too much for someone though, and doesn’t like to necessarily take the lead on how much physical affection to give until someone else has communicated guidelines, especially since many of the women he’s into could literally kill him with ease. He will readily praise someone if they are doing something worth praising, unless he doesn’t like you or feels like he’s in hard competition with you, he’s very free with praise.
PDA for him isn’t a huge priority. He’ll hold hands, put a hand on small of the back, he might do some chaste kissing, but he’s not trying to draw a shitload of attention onto him and whoever he’s with. He would rather anything more physical than that be in private. He’s even more careful with affectionate terms around other people just because he doesn’t want to make it awkward for others. He doesn’t like it when people are so into each other anyone else in the room stops existing- looking at you Ronnie and Caity- because it’s like, great now I need to carry with whatever while you carry out a tonsil exam. He doesn’t want to do that to other people. He’s also really slow to allot pet names. Infinitely more slow to ever call someone ‘mi amor’, as in, it’s literally never happened. It’s got so much more weight to it than even ‘I love you’ culturally and he just hasn’t felt like it’s safe to use that with anyone, even in the relationships where he’s really cared about someone.
