So, I am going to be going on a Vacay Soon

I also am going to be having an orthodontist appointment, which means I won't have the time or energy to write that long of content. Sorry folks! (At least I got that long after Maruki fic out before that).

So, instead, I kinda wanna do something more chillax and such. So...

Ask the Iolite Hospital peeps (or myself) anything, I guess! Besides personal info (name, location that sorta thing) about myself, of course! This is mostly just for fun, and so that I can provide a little content while I'm away on vacation, without it being too intrusive on my time off! I love providing content for y'all, since I find it very nice to be able to get feedback and nice comments from y'all! Really, y'all are so sweet! ❤️ So, I don't mind doing this small little thing while I'm out. It can honestly be something I do when I have nothing planned on vacation days (which, last time I went on vacation, was a lot of the time TBH).

Just in case you can't read the names (I don't blame you, this was kinda on short notice TBH and my handwriting sucks), here they are!

Characters open to asks:

Aluminum Sight

Derek Straws

Maya

Johnny Doe

Dr. Baxter

Dr. Cogsworth

Baxter was frustrated after a long day. Of course, all of his meetings with allies had to be so unpunctual with him, and some of his tools had broken. The doctor just wanted to gets some drinks and relax. He then notices an open chair by a pink succubus and gently taps her shoulder.

“Excuse me?” He asks politely. “I’m so sorry to bother you but is this seat taken? If it is, I can go elsewhere.”

"Nah, nobody else is sitting here. Go right ahead." The taller demon replied before patting the seat next to her. "So, you have a rough day at work or something? Because you look agitated." Verosika commented as she took in his appearance.

A Random Fact About Each Iolite Hospital Character:

Aluminum: He has joint pain from his medication, so he sometimes wears knee and wrist braces.

Dr. Cogsworth: He and Dr. Baxter dated at one point after Baxter asked him out. He kinda misses those times, but he felt bad due to his difficulty showing affection or recognizing his emotions.

Dr. Baxter: He's scared of thunder, cars, dogs, basically anything that can be loud.

Maya: She's scared of water. Most Landsharks physically can't swim, though, so her fear is mostly from instinct.

Derek: He sleeps in a nest made of hay. Cow People prefer the feeling of hay to a mattress when sleeping indoors, since it reminds them of the feeling of grass/the ground, which they are meant to sleep on.

Johnny Doe: He has hyperacusis, or a reduced tolerance to sounds. Normal sounds seem too loud and annoying, while loud ones can be painful. He's stressed by this, a lot of the time, which is why he eats a lot (including the things his pica causes him to eat). It helps him calm down. He hasn't mentioned it because he thinks his sound intolerance is normal.

Father Cosmos: It is very flirtatious, which might seem unbecoming of a priest. However, due to the fact that everyone in this world only knows about Christianity and any human religion due to the religious scriptures falling into the world without context, their version of Christianity, Judaism, and such are very different than the human versions. This is made extra difficult due to it being the only person following Christianity. It believes that it is okay for a religious leader of Christianity to be flirtatious, due to it having no other role model to follow.

Chef Starlight: Her favorite texture of food is crunchy. She can eat her favorite food, void chips, for days. The only reason why she doesn't do so is because void chips are extremely unhealthy and she doesn't want to be a bad role model for the patients.

Dr. Clown: She tries to keep everyone's spirits up by holding a magic show every Sunday and Saturday. She also makes balloon animals and balloon teeth, face paints, and tells knock-knock jokes.

Iolite Hospital LGTBQ+ Identities

These are mostly for the main adult characters, due to them being the most developed ones. I shall make a separate post for any secondary characters. Minor characters (Maya and Johnny) are on here, but instead of LGBTQ+ identities, I am going to just write their thoughts on the LGBTQ+ community since I do not believe they would know where they fall at their age. OwO

Aluminum - He's agender, AFAB. He's also currently questioning his romantic identity, as well as his sexuality. For now, he identifies as aromantic and dreamsexual/somnisexual (not related to the content creator, Dream. Dreamsexual is where you only feel sexual attraction during dreams. It can also be called somnisexual, sognaresexual or yumesexual), which is a form of asexuality. He usually feels to embarrassed to say that he is identifying as dreamsexual/somnisexual, since he feels like people would think he is lying, so he just says he is asexual. He likes to have very specific labels for his identity, because it makes him feel secure in his experiences and that he is not alone in how specific they are. Kind of like a "I feel this way... But do other people feel this way normally? Am I weird?" Then he finds others of that very specific LGBTQ+ label and is like "Okay. So I'm not weird. Good! Yippee!!!"

Derek - he is a cisgender man, who identifies as biromantic and bisexual. He would be considered gender non-conforming, but in his world, gendered clothing/accessories, and such don't really exist, since everyone has a similar body type. He uses the terms bisexual and biromantic to mean that he would date anyone of any gender. The only reason why he doesn't use pansexual/panromantic is because, in the world that he is from, pansexuality/panromantic people is seen as very taboo due to being a very new term. He just feels safer identifying as biromantic and bisexual, not knowing if the world the Iolite Hospital is located in is a safe place for pansexual/panromantic people. (Spoiler alert: it is.)

Dr. Baxter: He is a cisgender man that is gender non-conforming. He's very openly pansexual and panromantic, happily talking about how love is love and everyone should feel comfortable and safe with who they are. He very openly supports the LGBTQ+, even if he is a bit behind on the newest gender identities, sexualities, and romantic identities.

Dr. Cogsworth: He is just... uhh... well, he identifies as a cisgender man, at least. He hasn't even thought about his romantic identity or sexuality, because he can't even process his own emotions at the moment. If he can't even recognize when he feels happy, sad, or angry, how is he supposed to recognize when he is in love or whether or not that love is platonic or romantic? Since he tends to confuse the physical reactions to emotions with physical conditions or states, he can't even tell if he is feeling the physical reactions to sexual attraction or if it is something completely different. So, he would be considered as questioning his sexuality and romantic identity. Maybe not questioning that much at the moment, since he is mostly concerned about figuring out simple emotions first, but he still tries to figure out his romantic and sexual identities from time to time. He just has bigger priorities, at the moment.

Maya ~ She is fully supportive of the LGBTQ+ and sees her uncle as the coolest guy in the world. They've both already experienced some adversity by simply existing as Landsharks, and she is acutely aware that uncle Baxter will experience some extra adversity by identifying as LGBTQ+ openly, so she will do everything to support him. She mainly is just worried at how quickly he falls in love, since he might fall for someone who is very ignorant by accident. She will also happily be the third wheel in any romantic pursuit he tries to make, because his reactions are funny whenever she does something to purposely embarrass him. She also tries to get Johnny to join her in embarrassing him. She does that in order to prevent him from getting his heart broken, again.

Johnny ~ He doesn't really care, but in a good way...? He has trouble remembering gender identities, romantic identities or sexualities, but does recognize that they exist. To him, it's just natural. It is kind of like how, when little kids are young (like Johnny is, since he's 5), they don't think about a boy and girl being in a relationship often, but know it happens and see it as completely normal and not to be celebrated since, well... It's normal. He just kinda forgets that some people don't see the LGBTQ+ community as normal, so he just nods his head and smiles when he hears that someone is a part of it. He would be confused as to why someone would start explaining that, because they are (insert gender, romantic identity, or sexuality here), they (insert explanation here), since he doesn't see a need for an explanation. You are just you? He is more confused about why you are explaining yourself than whatever you came out as, to be honest. He does enjoy joining Maya on her third-wheeling adventures as a forth wheel of chaos, though.

Dr. Frank C. Baxter, professor of English at the University of Southern California (USC), introduced a generation of us young school children to a variety of scientific curiosities through 16 mm films.  This kid found them to be welcome breaks from the typical days of education.
