(Same person who sent in the ask about Joel being able to be around Keralis even if he's supposedly incomprehensible)
How does Joel Smallishbeans react to his other lovers??
Grian: Watchers aren't real, Joel just kinda thinks he's a little weird whenever Grian brings up the watchers, but Joel will listen anyway. Grian thinks that Joel knows about the watchers, he is a winner of the series, but turns out Joel doesn't??? When asked about it, he just said something like "Oh ya, kinda just thought it was a different version of One Life." and shrugged it off. Grian has still not gotten over how not even the watchers can effect him.
Bdubs: Bdubs is a god's right-hand man. Bdubs follows the orders of the God of the night, making sure that people sleep (some call him the deity of sleep). Only issue, Bdubs can't get Joel to sleep, he's tried and tried, using his powers to the point where he himself is exhausted. Bdubs will refuse to confront Joel about why his powers won't work, simply just using his boyfriend privileges to pull Joel back to bed.
Bonus:
The only type of powers that work on Joel come from the sea. The hermits think that it has something to do with the statue and billboard of the fish lady in his kingdom city.
related ask!
They're not sure if it's the actual powers working, or if Joel really is just that whipped for Lizzie. They're a little jealous but at least someone can get Joel to do things!
(When she feels like it, otherwise they're on their own. No powers to save them from his stubbornness.)
