you have mentioned your baes' love languages in a past post, right? the one where you comment about their kisses...
*browsing down* Here it is, both posts.
Yeah, I was brief for many reasons, but I have been encouraged to share a bit more; in fact, there was a recent event that reassured me to take this step...

I admit, I have a bias against competition and rivalry in general... by now, I came to accept this as a part of NRC life, but still didn't felt like approaching anyone with this mindset. Also, there WERE different dorm students actually curious about 'which of the Love Septagram does more x thing or less y thing'... which I guess it's better than backtalking.
Henceforth, I asked Ortho for help, and thanks to his extensive database research, we compiled a chart on the guys' preference on love language, considering most registered (stalked much, maybe?) time spent between me and the Love Septagram.
Their reaction to it was actually surprising: they did laugh at how worried I was about that, but also reminded me how I did show how much I loved them all as unique individuals and our compromise
DID guarantee they would not 'make enemies off each other'; sure, they'd still make snarky remarks and inevitably, as Vivi put it, compete, but it was important that I didn't presume rivalry and enmity were the same thing, even putting Ace and Deuce as an example of friendly rivalry. Zu-Zu even mentioned he wrote it as a major part of the Love Septagram Manifesto (he says it's mostly an unpolished sketch, but I'd still like to see it... and so do the others.)
I was quite embarassed about my competition bias for a while, but I guess it's because I never had THIS SORT of connection with someone, or maybe just had only seen bad examples of it...
Still, I was encouraged to take a chance if such an opportunity shows up... and also to make more of these charts and graphs, with one more praise of how smart I was; Grim laughed at how red my face became.
