Hi again! I saw some people ask the opposite of this and now im curious, do any of your skeletons/elementals prefer monster partners/lovers to human?
thank youuu!
Ooo that’s a tough one! I definitely recall mentioning what attributes some would prefer for a monster partner if they were to date a monster, but I don’t recall if that was who’d choose a monster over a human partner.
I think for most of the guys, they wouldn’t prefer one over the other simply because monsters are typically most attracted to others that are built similarly to them! I’ve mentioned this before but for context: a humanoid monster (bipedal, 2 arms, stands/walks upright) will generally be most attracted to other humanoid monsters or humans, while a quadruped monster will be more into other 4-legged monsters, aquatic monsters are attracted to other swimming monsters, etc. However, this is not a strict rule and there are variations!
For example:
—Magpie would prefer a monster as a partner! This is because he prefers his partner to have wings, which humans obviously don’t. He finds wings to be an attractive feature and the culture around wings is important to him!
—Asterisk is a bit of an oddball in this case, because while he prefers monsters and humans equally, he is open to dating a much wider variety of monsters than most humanoid monsters would be! He could happily date a monster that’s build entirely differently than himself, to an almost comical degree. (Equinox is the same way)
—Pyre and Scorch also prefer other monsters, although they typically stick to more humanoid ones.
—Sylva just kind of hates everyone, but humans are partially to blame for the downfall of monsterkind so he’d much rather date a monster.
—Scion has a preference for fire elementals specifically… or perhaps just one in particular.
