9, 15, 19 for feliks
9. Do they give tough love or gentle love most often? Which do they prefer to receive?
Despite that he can often be selfish and obnoxious, Feliks is affectionate and he is for the most part gentle. He's definitely the type to have so much planned or have incredibly thoughtful gifts that make one go "damn you are more perceptive than what meets the eye if you figured out that I wanted that." C
Feliks definitely needs tough love though. Boundaries are a must in a relationship with him because when they are unclear then there's issues. Nonetheless there has to be a good mix of gentle love there or it's just not feasible.
That's where I think Tolys struggles with Feliks is that the boundaries are often extremely unclear which isnt the greatest when you're dealing with poland. (I mean it fits given that even with established boundaries Poland still managed to accidentally invade the Czech Republic in 2020) and Tolys has a tendency to send mixed messages or not say much until he's absolutely lost it or is pissed and not willing to listen.
Overall, I'd categorize him as someone who needs a balance of both.
15. What’s the most obvious difference between their behavior at home, at work, at school, with friends, and when they’re alone?
He's a lot more toned down, he is engaged in deeper more meaningful thought, and he's constantly reflecting on interactions and the like. In a way it's nicer for him as it allows him to be his natural self but in ending his performance self it allows the insecurities and anxieties to worm their way back into in his brain and distraction is urgently pursued in order to mute the voice of the asshole part of one's internal monologue.
19. What would they do if stuck in a room with the person they’ve been avoiding?
It's a process to say the least. First, he debates whether to initiate conversation because it's hella awkward and this is a flashing red light to do something for him. Then he attempts small talk but it doesn't go well because usually he's avoiding someone because he is avoiding confrontation. So then he internally panics a bit and says the literal worst thing to say in whatever situation. Then he quickly goes and tries to find literally everything to distract him from his social faux pas. This works for like a minute or two until he begins to think "wait stuck in a room with this person clearly they are at least looking at me" and the best case there is they take pity on him really or knocking the person out with his handbag that might work.
Feliks is so wonderful with social situations. I want to see what happens if he's stuck in an elevator with Sweden.
