Had a brief moment of clarity. Enough of one to get my drafts done anyway lol. But also it got me thinking about the cute niche things that make my boys light up. Not sexually speaking mind you just...like... in general.
Spyder - Spaceships, engineering, the twins, dancing, and music in general but mostly the specific sorts he's into. He's also always happy to talk about ridiculous day-time dramas particularly telenovelas as he's a big fan of the over-the-top storylines and romance. Spyder also likes to just sit and knit sometimes so he's happy to talk about that process as well.
Codeblue - Surprisingly Codeblue is a big fan of video games, particularly fighting games, rpgs, and dating sims. He also loves TERRIBLE poetry and extremely saucy romance novels. He's also big into talking about engex and moonshine and he'll go on for days about Gary. He likes telling stories about his life and talking out elaborate pranks (so long as they don't involve someone getting hurt). He's also a big fan of game shows.
Batgotti - Batgotti has a niche and that niche is gardening and animals. He loves the cybernetic, cyber-organic, and organic kind and will happily talk your ear off about all three. He's also a big fan of opera and classical music and has a refined taste for various engex wines. He's a big fan of mystery novels, particularly pulpy ones and enjoys watching the occasional crime documentary.
Redstrike - Out of all of the boys Red's got the longest list of hobbies. He's interested in art in just about all it's forms, he likes talking about the process of making dyes and what type of materials are best for what kind of project. He's particular about his tastes but he respects the majority of the art world and shows it. He loves smutty romance novels and horror movies as well as horribly fluffy cartoons so long as they're not too 'dumbed down'. He likes musical theater and poetry and has a deep love for tea parties/tea ceremonies. He loves both super cute items and super pretty knick-knacks and jewelry and likes fashion to a point. He studies history and science for fun and likes discussing music and interesting scientific facts. The main reason he does so well as a courtesan is because of his incredibly vast amount of interests. He really does epitomize the 'jack of all trades' mentality to a grand extent.
Scalpel - Scalpel has a love for figure skating and ballet as well as a deep love for baking and holistic medicine on top of traditional approaches. She's quite the seamstress and has a deep fascination with fashion. She also has a particular fondness for birds.
