the bellas - love languages
inspired by @emilyjunk‘s bemily headcanons
these are for any and all the ships ! (I’m just doing the “core” five though, since they’re the most shipped)
Beca
Quality time, receiving gifts
Beca isn’t the best at expressing her love; she’s an awkward little thing, so the best way she knows how is to spend time with her girls. She’s always been more lowkey, so just chilling around the house or going to a simple lunch or something means a lot to her.
Beca appreciates little gifts okay, but really this is more-so her expression of love. Words are hard, so her best way of expressing how she loves someone is through a gift - which 99% of the time is a mix or playlist that she made herself over weeks of making it perfect. What a dork.
Chloe
Physical touch, receiving gifts
Chloe is just all touch, okay? Hand holding, hugging, cuddling, all of the above. Some might call her clingy, but she honestly just feels most grounded when she has some sort of contact with whoever she’s dating.
Chloe loves giving and receiving presents! She’s awesome at it too, always putting all of her effort into getting someone the best gift she possibly can.
Aubrey
Acts of service, words of affirmation
Aubrey is a tough cookie to crack. She doesn’t like being vulnerable, so her main love language is doing things for other people. She’d go out of her way to help her girlfriend and act like it wasn’t a big deal at all.
She is good little verbal forms of support (i.e. her telling Emily to keep pursuing music and “aw that’s amazing”). And as someone who holds a lot of insecurities about her own work, words of affirmation mean the world to Aubrey.
Stacie
Physical touch, quality time
Stacie isn’t quite “clingy” like Chloe is, but she has a more...possessive approach to physical touch. She lowkey always has to have an arm around a waist or shoulder. She also likes more intimate touches: tracing circles over skin and little kisses and playing with the little stray hairs that are on the back of the neck!
Similar to Beca, Stacie appreciates spending time with people. Whether it’s a fun party or a lowkey night at home while Stacie reads and her s/o does something else. Post-sex quiet moments also fall under this, just taking in the other person, talking about everything and nothing.
Emily
Words of affirmation, physical touch
Emily has so much love to give, and she needs her s/o to know it! She’s constantly telling people how much they mean to her or how much she loves them. Emily also has some insecurities though, so hearing support from her loved ones means the world.
She loves hugs, loves playing with hair, loves hand holding and giving sweet kisses!! Emily’s just a big bundle of the purest love.
