for fun been thinkin about love languages for ocs - this is just Dei, Pas, Pho, Karcha, and Adessi bc i got too many dang trolls
Dei’s primary love language is Quality Time- he’s not the best at expressing his feelings verbally, but when he really really likes someone he generally shows it by spending time Just With Them, or trying to arrange things for him and the other person to do together, even if they aren’t alone. His secondary is Acts of Service, meaning he prefers to show affection through doing things for the people he likes. Basically, making himself useful to the people he likes. He understands these two best when coming from other people, and gets a bit worried he’s not liked as much if his brand of affection isn’t returned the same way. Of the ones he’s not good at doing he understands Physical Touch best, then Gifts, and is really bad at Affirmations hahaa. Despite showing affection through favors, he has a really hard time asking people he cares about for favors in return as past experiences with Phobos have him kind of trained that asking for things Ends Badly. He’s still sort of wrestling with that and coming to the realization that it isn’t healthy and needs to sort himself out.

Pascal prefers to show affection through Gifts and Affirmations the most. He personalizes his presents, putting a lot of thought into them. He has a tendency to go overboard with really expensive ones, though..... He’s also not shy about expressing himself verbally, and expects the same out of any partner he’s with. Physical Touch comes in third, then Quality Time, and last would be Acts of Service. He does try to work out some quality time with his loved ones but on account of his position, a lot of the time it’s just not possible. He also sees favors as something that aren’t necessary for him, and potentially insulting to his partners so he doesn’t really Get That. Unlike Dei, he’s better equipped to deal with conflicting love languages in partners though, since he’s more comfortable expressing himself.

Phobos is hard to pin down but I think he generally goes for Quality Time and Affirmations the most. If he actually says he likes a person (or hates them) he means it and doesn’t take that sort of thing lightly, even if he does vacillate a lot between the two. Either way, actually taking the time to hang around his person(s) of affection is the best sign he cares. Next would be Physical Touch. He gets handsy in nonthreatening ways with people he likes and plans on making an effort to keep in his life ahaha. Last two are Gifts and Service. He gets gifts?? But doesn’t really understand service at all and can be kind of an asshole about it.

Karcha primarily deals in Physical Touch and Affirmations, though they’re actually pretty dang good at all 5 ways to show affection. They’re not as great at Service but y’know. Everyone’s got their thing they aren’t super good at. Despite being pretty good at all forms, they won’t really put up with a partner that doesn’t at least show affection mostly through Physical Touch. Like, that is their main jam there ahaha.

Adessi shows her affection mostly through Gifts and Affirmations. She also puts some weight on Quality Time, but not as much as the first two - though she’s really bad at receiving gifts she mostly just wants to give them haaha. Like Karcha she’s pretty fluent in all forms, just favors showing affection through the first two. I don’t think she’d handle someone who primarily likes to have Physical Touch though, that might be a bit too much for her.
