gretchen, lucy, eli

gretchen: what’s your favorite type of cookie?

“ those cookies that are like chocolate chip cookies but they have m & ms in them instead are super cute. or those christmas sugar cookies! of course, talking about christmas cookies i have to mention gingerbread. can i give a top three? those are my top three. ”

lucy: who’s someone who you think will be in your life forever?

“ ideally, the answer would be everyone in my life right now. ” but aster had believed that and still been left before. “ but i know i’ll have rome forever. even if he’s not here, he’s in my heart. plus, he’s still only a call away. murphy has a heart of gold and i could see him sticking by me through thick and thin. same with kyle. last but the complete opposite of least, tommy. my best friend and my lover in one. i have a good feeling about us and forever. even if we decide we’re better as friends, his energy is perfect with mine. ”

eliza:  what’s something you’d fight for?

“ i don’t like the idea of fighting, but if i did, it would be to defend the ones i love. i know all my friends are incredibly strong and able to stand up for themselves. ”  when it ended like robin and eddie’s fight, she wished they wouldn’t sometimes. “ regardless, i think it’s wonderful to know that you have someone in your corner. that you don’t have to take the world on by yourself even if you can. ”

ap5 and anne

answered !!

ap9: does your character ever consider going back to school?

Honestly, not really. Since the job she’s currently in and the degree she took in college don’t really line up, she’s not really considering taking up graduate studies.

anne, ap6, zack, cleo

anne: what plots/interactions leave you feeling protective of your muse

i feel like i get very protective of lucy when she’s being confronted of faced with something she didn’t see coming. she looks like she has her shit together but deep down she’s just a soft girl who wants things in her life to be all okay. but yes come at me with all the angst for ~ character development ~ 

ap6: what’s your character’s go-to comfort movie or comfort tv series?

“ disney’s enchanted!! i can’t just not feel better after watching this and singing along to the entire soundtrack! who wants to watch it with me? i have top tier movie snacks! ”

zack: what’s your muses go-to song when they get the aux cord?

“ plans by 88rising ft. vory and niki! or honestly, anything 88rising produces is my go-to! the excellence, the excellence. ”

cleo: what would your muse’s amortentia (love potion) smell like?

“ clothes fresh from the laundry, freshly picked citrus fruits, bamboo essential oil through a diffuser, a fire crackling on a winter night, freshly brewed black tea on a cloudy morning. ”

elico, lucin, tasterico :3

elico: would you risk your friendship with someone for a chance at lifelong love?

answered here !!

lucin: in a relationship, would you be the one taking pictures or the one having their picture taken?

“ i’d definitely be the one having my pictures my taken. my youtube ‘career’ basically makes me live in front of the camera and i’m not about it. reminiscing back to the times i had roman as a human tripod ... and you know, i gotta keep up the cute instagram feed. ”

tasterico: two bennington residents you’d love to have a threesome with?

“ well, if you have to ask - gimme a minute... i’m gonna have to bend the rules for this one a bit and say roman ( previous bennington resident ) and ed? ugh the way my past just flashed right before my eyes. they’re safe bets, i guess? they better not fight because i will not hesitate to kick some shins. but i can just give just give them my signature back rubs after ( with peppermint liniment ofc ) and maybe they can finally stop scowling at each other. ”

precious paws animal shelter 🥺🥺🥺

precious paws animal shelter: your muse accompanies mine to adopt a pet.

“are you absolutely sure you don’t want the lizard?” lucy gestured toward the leopard gecko minding its own business in the terrarium a few feet away. “are you absolutely, positively sure?” if her roommates were a little more supportive, she’d have the gecko perched on her shoulder right about now. “oh well, c’mon then.” she looped her arm around eliza’s as she made her way towards the dogs and cats. “i’m gonna peg you as a dog person, correct me if i’m wrong.” lucy cooed looking at all the fur babies (and the scale baby in the terrarium). “why do i suddenly have the urge to adopt everything in sight?” her love for animals was well known especially as she usually wanted to bring creatures she comes across back to her apartment. “oh to be a disney princess and just have cute woodland creatures at your beck and call - too bad i don’t have the trilling voice of miss snow white.” she squatted and smiled the few puppies, lightly waving her hand as they pranced around. lucy was being the embodiment of the pleading face just looking at all of them and she turned to eliza with the same face. “don’t make me choose and i know it’s you who’s choosing but wow i want them all.” she stood up and gave eli a conspiratorial grin. “between you and me, i’d say we can adopt the eight fur babies and the one scale baby in the corner. we’re probably gonna need to move to a bigger apartment but between your lawyer salary and my potential big acting bucks on the way, i think we’d be fine. what do you say?”

frucy:  from a scale of one to frankie & murphy, how much of a simp are you?

“Hate to admit it but, the answer’s in the question, don’t you think?”

[ielnico]

murphia, elico, mooks

murphia: do you believe labels are necessary for a relationship?

“ the simple answer would be no. being someone’s ‘whatever’ doesn’t mean anything to me. but it’s also a consequence of my habits that maybe not labels but definitely clarity means a whole lot in making sure everything works. after all, the division between polyamory and cheating is communication.”

elico: would you risk your friendship with someone for a chance at lifelong love?

“ of course, not for the chance at just any relationship but for a ‘lifelong love’? who wouldn’t? ”

mooks: how affectionate are you in a relationship?

“ as affectionate as my partner wants me to be. and in whatever form that is, affection can mean so many things. if it was my just my choice? i don’t tend to shy from physical affection.  ”

bug, harley

bug: what do you like most and least about writing your muse?

most: i love writing raph’s dialogue !! every reply is a challenge of figuring out what the fuck he could possibly ramble about this time, and it’s also super fun to research little tidbits that he knows about and i don’t (ie: west coast slang and horticulture). raph is also a lot smarter and class-conscious than i am, so it’s nice to feel like i have more than one braincell every now and then.

least: i worry ~quite~ often when i write him that i'm not making raphael a complex and flawed enough character, which is just tbh something i struggle with in general when writing soft characters (and is probably why i don't write them super often). raph can also get a bit contradictory when it comes to his personal life (see: dating both robin and eddie, being obsessed with True Love while also being committed to someone who doesn't want marriage, acting protective of his best friends but letting them squabble w his ex and bf alike, etc etc) and sometimes when i write my boi it's hard to justify these actions perfectly, but i usually chalk it up to him being a simpy fool who's ready to cloud his inhibitions for the sake of adoration.

harley: what’s your muse’s love language?

it’s a hard tie between physical touch and quality time, but honestly he’s been so desperate for love in the past that he’s been very willing to compromise with his significant other or just change his love language altogether. tldr; raph’s love language is being loved, period !!
