If geneticists weren’t cowards we’d have replaced all soldiers with Pistol Shrimpanzees by now and humanity would be destroyed

Monsta X dating someone with a "complicated job"

Things to note: “complicated” refers to an S/O with a super qualified/heavily trained job that might be difficult to understand

Shownu/Hyunwoo - Finance gal

Shownu was known for doing a bit of investing here and there, but you’re rocking the business world by negotiating multi-million dollar deals. At first, Shownu felt awkward mentioning his private investing to you, but he was also curious as to what you have to say about making investments for the future. When you two watched Wolf of Wall Street, he felt a little worried for you, in case you were forced to be surrounded by drug filled parties and sleazy men, but he soon learned your workplace is a bit more wholesome than the movie. Though you never showed it, you appreciated that Shownu didn’t feel insecure about the big bucks people in finance made, and hoped that with your money, Shownu could relax a little longer from idol activities if he got injured or anything. But on the off chance that Shownu’s comeback week clashed with the final weeks of you closing a deal, both of you are going to be so tired by the end of it all that you’ll order in a ton of food, and fall asleep cuddling through a food coma.

Wonho/Hoseok - Psychiatrist

With all the work you did listening to people’s mental health concerns, diagnosing them and providing medication, Wonho always felt a little guilty coming to you when he had a problem, because in his eyes, its simply an extension of your job, and he wanted you to relax when you came home. You wished this wasn’t the case because firstly, you love Wonho, and secondly, you love your job. But you also had a similar issue thanks to patient-doctor confidentiality, so sometimes even if Wonho asked what’s bothering you, you couldn't always give him all the details as to why. When you initially started dating, Wonho was constantly getting psychiatrist and psychologist mixed up, but now he’s the one correcting people when they get your profession wrong, which always makes you laugh.

Minhyuk - Special Forces Fighter Pilot

While most idols only thought about the military when they got little bit older, Minhyuk thought about the military (specifically the Air Force) daily. He thought you are an absolute badass being a fighter pilot, but he also knew you were a complete softie for him. Sometimes you’d come home sore, maybe a little injured, and Minhyuk would rush to you the minute you came home to see how injured you were, even if it was just a little bruising or soreness from drills. In those situations, he’d pick up medicine for you, and insist on applying it himself and letting you rest, even though you told him the Air Force can take of your medical needs. If Minhyuk ever seriously annoys you, you pull out your tough fighter pilot voice, and he immediately stops, but because you both think the other person is the cutest being to exist in this solar system, you both immediately start laughing. But that attitude from the military sure does come in handy for some fun role play in the bedroom.

Kihyun - Ballerina

A highly skilled dancer and a highly skilled vocalist is one hell of a power couple. You both understood what dedication to your craft meant. The most unfortunate consequence of this was that Kihyun could never promise you that you won’t walk the next day after a night of spirited activities ;) In fact, there was nothing arousing about him saying that to you because if you struggled to walk the next morning, how were you meant to dance? Being a ballerina also meant several body insecurities for you, especially when you knew Kihyun met many beautiful female idols. But from Kihyun’s perspective, it is also very difficult to watch as other men placed their hands on your body for all the world (or at least the concert hall) to see. Still, he would come to see your shows, and bring a bouquet of flowers too for when he gets to see you backstage. He’d politely say hello to everyone, and maybe even wrap an arm around your waist and get a little possessive if he felt like the male dancers got a little too touchy-feely.

Hyungwon - P/A to an important businessperson

How someone like Hyungwon, who replies last in the chat and likes to nap all day, ended up with someone like you who keeps track of meetings, business deals and the personal affairs of your boss in addition to your own affairs amused many people. But one benefit of your relationship with Hyungwon was that your busy schedules didn’t leave space to be lonely. The downside was that the time you did get to spend together needed to be spent wisely. Still, your schedule was a bit more negotiable than Hyungwon’s, and since your boss was a fan of Monsta X, they gave you some leeway. They even joked that if you ever leave your PA job, you can just become Hyungwon’s manager. Now, that didn’t sound bad since after all, you can spend all your time with Hyungwon, but Hyungwon knew you loved your job, and he knew you excelled at it, so he would never ask you to give it up. When you had particularly stressful and packed days, he’d prepare a relaxing bath for you, and let you vent about everything that happened while cuddling you and playing with your hair. Hyungwon also loves giving you fashion advice and taking you shopping so that you look absolutely gorgeous for those meetings, but he is even more excited for the end of the day, when he can take those pencil skirts and blouses off you.

Joohoney - Award Winning Author

Your books were the kind that university theses were written about. Breaking and bending the rules of language came naturally to you, which is why Joohoney loved to run his raps past you. If he ever got stuck with words, you were always there to help out. However, Joohoney felt bad that he couldn’t help you out with your writing, which tended to need a bit more than flow, beat, rhyme and other qualities. So instead, he helped you out in other ways. He reminded you to rest your eyes when you had been looking at your computer for too long, and gave you massages to release all the knots in your neck and shoulders. He also bought every single book you ever had published, and enjoyed reading them in his spare time too. But the other bonus of you being an author was your vocabulary. Sure, sometimes you found a niche word to describe something and left Joohoney a little confused, but other times, you could whisper sweet nothings like you were their inventor.

IM/Changkyun - Geneticist

He absolutely loves listening to you talk about your work. A career in science was something Changkyun would have considered if it wasn’t for his love of music, but his background in science helps him follow along with what you’re saying - transgenic organism, gene splicing, Okazaki fragments... okay so actually he googled some of these when you weren’t around, or messaged his dad with questions, but you were always happy to explain it to him too. Occasionally he teases you, asking if you’re creating mutants or doing top secret experiments for the government; but in actuality, you work in medical research, trying to cure genetic diseases. Changkyun finds your work extremely admirable, and is always encouraging, even when you sometimes come home frustrated that your experiments didn’t work out and that your research might have hit a dead end. If/When you and Changkyun have kids, you will probably be drawing punnet squares and taking bets on whose traits the kid will inherit.

Drawing of my Mass Effect OC' salarian by name Vissa Telorn'hex Lazarr, but he is better known as the ''nasty type''. He is a pathomorphologist-geneticist who will destroy all your nerve cells in one conversation. Cynic; perfectionist; withdrawn, aloof with low empathy, partially sociopathic; intolerant of disorder, drinking and cheeky behavior.

Vissa has never loved, but an explosive (both literally, since she is a demolitionist, and figuratively) a quarian named Aela'Sia nar Moreh causes strange and previously unexperienced feelings in him, which he, being prone to cold analysis and inability to feel the whole spectrum emotions, is called ''Attachment'' as they both share a common past. But is it really so and maybe there is something more than just sympathy?

[genes-of-fiends]

Heh

This is a fun one! He's obviously blue-eyed and longhaired but that's where the obvious stops. My immediate thought was that Wolf was an unusually yellow marmalade tabby, however upon closer inspection it is more likely that he is a black tabby with amber extension ! Amber is a gene that slowly changes black coats to a red color over time, characterized by black or grayish stripes, paws, and noses. Whereas red tabbies generally have more vibrant markings, the saturation of Wolf's less vibrant snout and classic tabby stripes gave away the more likely possibility.

For Cragdust, things are more clear cut. She's a cinnamon with ~75% white spotting, shorthaired, with green eyes.

Now the offspring genetics are where things get interesting. The gene for amber is recessive, as is Cragdust's cinnamon coat, so kittens are guaranteed to be shorthair (dominant) with black (dominant) fur. There is a 50/50 chance they are either solid or classic tabbies with somewhere between 0 and 50% white spotting. Since Wolf is a not a special blue-eyed breed, one of his parents likely is and passed it to him; however, that means none of his kittens or future generations will be able to inherit the color. Therefore, all kittens will most likely have green eyes ^^

Looking for more than genetic jargon? Here are some visuals of what the results would likely be!

Hope everyone has a good day, Sapphron out! 😎
