Questions developed by @ glitter-and-gasoline You can find the rebloggable version here
It was not asked for, but also, I love them despite their flaws and not exactly establishing a relationship. Gal is Scaramouche’s youngest brother and developed by @gravity-what Jared is part of a Samurai Jack AU we created. You can find the original story here.
TW: angst, suggestive content, mentions of drugs, etc.
Who would end a heated argument by defending their actions with ‘because I love you!’ ?
Jared for sure, considering he’s the only one who has verbalized the sentiment
What would they do if the other woke in a manic state after a nightmare?
Jared would talk to him to calm him down and lead him through some breathing exercises. Jared doesn’t have too many nightmares, and Gal would probably be bad at doing anything so just waits a while and then asks if Jared is alright.
Do they wear the other’s clothes? (sweatshirt, bandana, necklace, etc.)
They share a couple Jared’s sweatshirts when Gal wants something really large to layer on.
Which one is more protective? Who needs to be ‘protected’?
Jared is more protective and Gal actually does need to be more protected.
Describe their cozy night in.
Curled up on the couch or bed under a bunch of fluffy blankets, close but not touching, binge watching some comedy movies with a bowlful of snacks.
Who would beg the other not to leave? Who has to leave to protect the other?
Jared begs Gal not to leave at times when Gal is susceptible to relapsing back into his mercury addiction. Gal considers him leaving to be protective of Jared, since Jared is also a recovering mercury addict and doesn’t want to do mercury in the apartment they share.
Would they build a pillow fort together just because?
Yes, absolutely. Mostly it’s a pillow wall because Gal likes a little space since he’s a bit touch repulsed to a varying degree in the AU.
What happens if one of them gets sick?
Jared hunkers down in his room, but Gal will step up to bring him things and do whatever he can around the house. Jared wishes he could offer more physical comfort to Gal when he’s not feeling well, but checks-in frequently and knows some remedies to help with certain ailments. Both tend to suffer from headaches and Gal still has some nasty withdrawal symptoms on occassion.
What are their thoughts on having children?
No. It’s too much work and neither would find it fulfilling. Would they help out a kid or parent they met on the street? Absolutely.
Describe their first date.
They’re not exactly dating... As a first friend interaction of equal grounds, it was hanging out and Gal getting to share his love of comedy movies.
Do either try to hide their emotions if upset? Can the other still tell?
Gal muffles a lot of his emotions because of his depression, but Jared can usually tell. Jared for the most part tries to make his emotions obviously because Gal is so terrible at social interactions he would not be able to tell. Sometimes Jared will hide when he is upset if he knows Gal can’t do anything to help (like listen) or if Gal has too much on his plate.
Do they have many heated arguments? How do they smooth things over?
For the most part, no. Excluding when Gal was working to overcome his addiction and would get angry, they’ve only really fought over a few things and it was something outside of their interactions with each other (usually having to deal with Francis or Gal’s siblings). Since it’s usually Jared getting upset, Gal would remind him that it’s not really their business, which stings a bit, but later Gal does manage to mention he does care about Jared and asks how he can make him feel better about a situation.
Who’s the bigger tease?
Jared, but only because he shows off his body a little bit. It barely counts.
How do their personalities compliment each other? How do they clash?
They are both pretty laid back, which works for each other, except Gal is too laid back that he will rarely side with an issue or take a stance on something that Jared sees as being important.
Do they always say 'i love you' before leaving?
No. Gal never does, and Jared only says it on some occasions, like if Gal is in a good mood.
Can they stay up all night just talking?
Yes, and they do frequently, only because Jared works a nightshift and Gal has adopted his sleep schedule so that they sleep in the morning. They can get into really long conversations because Gal will start rambling and go on and on, but Jared enjoys his company and makes sure Gal feels like he is being listened to and cared about.
Who's more likely to pull the other in by the waist and kiss them passionately?
That’s a no for them, again because of Gal. Jared is more likely to ask for physical touch.
How likely are they to have fur babies? How many and what kind?
It’s story time (because I don’t think I want to write out a full story with it). I think Jared would like a pet and it would probably be good for them. They could do a cat, but I think Jared opts for a dog because then it would force them to go out and get fresh air every day. Gal is okay with it, but he wants a really ugly and mean looking dog because he does not like to interact with people and he does not want people coming up and asking if they can pet the dog when he takes it out for a walk. So they adopt a dog that fits the criteria from a shelter, one that has probably been there a long time because no one will adopt it, and the dog is the sweetest thing. It loves both of them and they both get so attached. They probably enter a picture into an ugly dog contest and accidentally win.
How do they feel about PDA?
Absolutely not (unfortunately for Jared).
Choose one song that perfectly describes their relationship.
Why am I bad at this question? Please send help!
Who would get into a fight to defend the other's honor? Who tends to the other's wounds?
Gal will say some nice things about Jared if he hears someone discrediting him, but won’t fight too much. Jared might fight some, but then he’s stuck licking his own wounds since Gal can’t do any sort of gore/injuries.
What reminds each of their partner?
Reminds Jared of Gal: Music especially with a heavy drum influence, anything green or comedy related.
Reminds Gal of Jared: When his older siblings are dismissive of him, because it reminds him of how much Jared does listen; oversized cobalt blue sweaters.
Who's more likely to convince the other to stay in bed come morning?
Gal could very easily convince Jared to stay home all day if he simply asks.
Who's more likely to give the other a massage?
Neither, really, but maybe Jared later on if Gal can stand any sort of touch (like rubbing his shoulders or head if Gal’s not feeling well. Nothing below the belt though).
Do they have any hobbies they share?
Definitely watching movies, and Jared turns Gal on to audiobooks so they’ll listen to them together. If they’re feeling adventurous, maybe they’ll check out a local comedy or music gig.
What are their vices?
Jared: Overly patient, settles too easily for less than he wants, previously had a drug addiction to mercury although he has been sober for quite a few years.
Gal: Refuses to take sides, struggles to avoid triggers, previously had a drug addiction to mercury and while he is sober, he still sometimes brings some into his room as a “just in case” plan.
Who is the light weight that needs to be taken care of after a party?
Both are good about their alcohol consumption. If anyone needs care after a party, it’s Gal because he got too over stimulated.
What are there thoughts on pet names? Do they have any?
They aren’t into it and don’t really have any. Jared would be okay with it, but nothing developed.
Who is more likely to jump in an elevator? Who freaks out?
Gal is surprisingly better with elevators as long as he has not had a recent link-up with Scaramouche (in which case he cannot ride in them). Jared does not freak out but he is more hesitant because of how often the one in his old apartment broke down, so he’s skeptical.
Your OTP gets to pick out each other's outfits; what is each wearing?
They end up wearing about the same thing: oversized sweatshirts, likely green maybe dark blue, and super baggy pants. There’s probably 2-3 layers of clothes.
Can they sit side by side without touching the other or are they handsy? (lacing fingers, touching knees, etc.)
They often sit side by side without touching. Jared had to learn in the early days to keep his hands to himself since he is very physically affectionate for the most part.
Who's the better story teller?
Jared because he can retell a story he read and also Gal will ramble and lose the point.
Who's the better cook?
Jared
Who's more likely to tell a dirty joke or story to make the other blush?
Gal probably does so accidentally because he does not always think before he speaks and then makes himself blush and then makes that worse by trying to apologize while Jared holds in a laugh.
Who's more artistic?
Gal. He’s more musically talented and eventually picks up painting.
Who's more likely to fire up the stove at 2am because the other woke up in the middle of the night hungry?
Jared for sure. Or any time of day, since they’re both nocturnal.
Which is more likely to swear?
Both, but Jared slightly more.
Who is more sexually experimental? Who's more vanilla?
Jared has had more experience with experimental because he works as a sex bot, but in their relationship, they keep it extremely vanilla. He’s open to more things. Gal, not so much, even in the past.
Who would rescue an injured animal and nurse it back to health? What would the other think?
Jared is more likely if there’s any visible injury, but Gal would help retrieve items and assist more in the nursing part of it.
Who has an insatiable appetite? And what does the other do to help?
Jared has more of an insatiable appetite for physical affection, and Gal’s okay with letting Francis come over and cuddle with Jared sometimes (Francis has permission from Scaramouche, and it’s also strictly platonic)
Which one would take their jacket it off and drape over the other one because they were visibly shivering?
Both would, but Jared would be faster to realize Gal needed something.
What's their favorite type of weather to enjoy together? (getting snowed in together, watching thunderstorms, etc.)
They enjoy a rainy day or at least an overcast since most of their activities are indoor.
Who would give their life for the other without a second thought?
Gal would not, and I don’t think Jared would completely sacrifice himself. He would sustain an injury, but he would not give up his life.
Who would dance in the kitchen making dinner? Would the other join in or watch from the doorway?
Jared might a little, but not too much and Gal would enjoy watching.
Can they fall asleep without the other?
Yes, but they sleep better knowing the other is around.
Would they get frisky at the movies by themselves?
Lol, no. Just ignore Jared fantasizing about it.
Does either of them have a secret that could potentially ruin their relationship?
Nope
Who's the better driver?
I ... don’t know if either of them drives. Probably Jared because he’s a little better with his surroundings?
Does either of them have a hard time being away from the other?
Not necessarily, but they also are usually in the same area all the time.
who's more likely to do something out of spite?
Neither would.
What’s a non verbal way they say I love you?
They both care for each other without being asked. It’s a little unbalanced in the current with Jared pulling a lot of weight, and Gal might not be able to say he loves Jared, but he was the help Jared needed when he was still living on the streets to get his life together.
Describe their weekend getaway?
They’re more of a staycation type, just doing the usual cozy night in.
Would they ever go skinny dipping?
Jared would, but Gal absolutely would not.
Who’s more likely to carry the other to bed?
I don’t think Jared can actually lift Gal in an emergency (also, Gal would not like to be carried) and I don’t think Gal wants to touch Jared that mouch. So ... neither... and ignore the thought I can’t of Gal calling Fandango to help move Jared from the couch to his bed so he would be more comfortable
Do they like watching clouds or star gazing?
Watching clouds because they make each other laugh by trying to pick out shapes.
What do they do turn the other on/put them in the mood?
Jared can kind of tell when Gal wants to get off to him, so that’s technically what Gal does. It’s self-serving enough because that also turns Jared on and he’ll intentionally make it a point that he’s going to take a long shower because he knows Gal likes to listen to him jack off in the shower and Jared gets off to the idea of Gal getting off to him. So it works XD
Whose the serious one when grocery shopping and who likes to toss random things in the cart?
Gal would be more serious if he’s shopping because he only gets what he needs. Jared likes to get fun stuff for them (and also, he does most of the shopping).
Who’s more likely to hold a grudge after an argument?
Jared, but he does not act on it. He’s just kind of disappointed.
Who tops? Who bottoms?
They’re only into mutual masturbation.
Who pulls the other closer when they’re sleeping?
Neither. Jared wants to, but Gal does not like that much physical affection and can only stand modified cuddling if he is asked when awake.
