TakeJade: 1, 6, 9, 16, 17, 18
oh god kuma please speak to me
1. What drew your character to their LI and vice versa?
honestly for kuma i think it was just cause he’s super fun and easy to get along with. he’s someone thats very no strings attached, she isnt afraid hes going to tie her down (oh but if he wants to in that way he can-) and she likes how free he seems to be. she just doesnt appreciate his... worse vices. i feel she has a certain anxiety in her that she doesnt think about since she was around for the car wreck he got into. kuma very much easily vibes with him and it sorta becomes a friends w/ benefits thing for a while cause of it lmfao
jade im not so sure im just gonna joke its cause shes hot as fu-
THEY BATTLE FOR THIS. I CAN LITERALLY SEE THESE TWO TRYING TO FIGHT FOR IT. like it becomes a tickle fight and they might end up falling off the bed and theyre just fucking LOSING it laughing at each other
most times jade just waits till kuma’s tired out so he wins lmfao
9. How open are they with their feelings?
.......................they’re both so fuckin closed off holy shitttttt.
okay but kuma isn’t good at even realizing her own feelings. she’s super emotionally stunted from being held captive for a lot of her life and her feelings come out weird. she isn’t great at opening up but she tries to listen. meanwhile jade... is a jackass. kuma isnt the type to force things out, but if she feels theres somethign that NEEDS to be said, shes good at drawing the line and keeping him from deflecting. if he gets mad and fights w/ her, she doesnt really back down either. kuma’s pretty much like a wall but if she really needs to know how he feels about something, shes going to find out
jade probably tries to get that out of her, feelings and all, but kuma just tells him that she really isnt... sure how to approach those things. he probably tries to help her with it honestly, after she wholeheartedly explains - she was raised in such a way that she cant. (jade cant rly know she was held captive by a yakuza family but it plays off like she had shitty parents anyway, so)
kuma doesnt get jealous really. like shes confident in the fact jade likes her, and she doesnt want to make him feel he HAS to just like her. she also jsut doesnt see the point? she knows who she is and she knows what she can provide him. shell feel weird about how shes not good at like, talking about feelings or accessing them, but shell do what she can to try and that means something to her, rather than fretting about it. im not so sure abt jade but-
17. Their ways of expressing their love.
kuma is... subtle. she likes to stare at him and lie with him, she likes holding his face. sometimes kissing it but she just likes to keep her hands on him. kuma likes rubbing his beard or touching his hair. i feel shes helped him a lot during some BAD hangovers or drinking binges, holding his hair back if he has to barf, making him food in the morning to help with his hangover. unseasoned eggs and some gatorade. she also finds a lot of importance in food and connections and likes to learn new recipes to try and wow him maybe. she is just uncharacteristically soft but she tries to learn to be that way because of how she was raised. jade and anna are very good ways for her to try, but especially when she gets closer to jade like that
jade im not sure, but he seems so cuddly and sweet and i know his biggest way is doting and trying to help, even if he can be too pushy. he probably likes getting candid photos of her though and that is so fucking warm to me
18. Is their any way they disappoint each other?
kuma wont lie but his drinking does disappoint her. she knows how important he is to all her friends, not just herself, and she wants him to do better. she probably even offers, subtly, things to replace that. she probably works out with him often and offers fun fights to try and get whatever drives him to drink out of his system. she doesnt mention it, but she does. she isnt the type to up front tell him hes disappointed her, but she wont sugar coat it if he ever talks about it
jade im not sure but hoenstly with how reckless she is, i feel thats a big thing he doesnt... like. hes probably freaked out before, super worried after she gets in some stupid shit for no reason telling her that she cant just do that liek shes indisposable. kuma cant really TELL him she cant like, die, but it shakes her enough to realize jade does care a lot, and even if she feels shes invincible, its still going to hurt the people she cares about.
