when ardyn loves, he loves….very very deeply, with everything he has. it’s just how he is. he loves fiercely and passionately and he’s so Good to his lovers, he spoils them rotten and just showers them in affection and love.
of course lately it’s…yeah. not really much of an opportunity, so these days he’s basically like Nope Romantic Feelings Can’t Catch Me – he refuses to let himself open up to the possibility, because a) he’s a monster and b) he’s got Shit To Do and can’t afford any weakness.
FRIENDSHIP WHAT IS THIS FOREIGN SPECIES
but no rly, he adored his friends deeply, and he was one of those people who could make friends with Literally Anyone, just that kind of charming and open and good-natured. even at first after the betrayal he kept making friends, trying to keep connected with humanity.
after a long time, though, and after losing so many of his friends, he decided to stop making friends. or at least real friends. he is still charming, but it’s all a facade, he really doesn’t want to ever get close to anyone again.
CACKLES oh you act like this man gives a flying fuck about his appearance.
he really doesn’t. he shaves maybe once a week just because he doesn’t like bushy beards, he showers daily, he runs hands through his hair to ‘brush’ it, and he does make sure his clothes are clean at least. but that’s basically it tbfh. he really doesn’t give a fuck. it’s too much work to give a fuck.
