oddly specific questions;
What is a deal-breaker when it comes to dating someone?
One of the biggest lessons he took away from his parents’ relationship as well as his own past marriage is that everything’s built on give and take. If all social relations were different types of streets, romance would be an interstate highway between hearts. Though it can be difficult at times for him to emotionally convey his feelings and thoughts without the help of music, Flynn knows that he needs to be willing to adapt and compromise with his future partner(s) in order for things to work smoothly.
This is also the reason why he doesn’t believe he’s worthy of pursuing anyone right now; he doesn’t know if he’d be able to return any favors from his partner(s) anytime soon, not in the shape he’s found himself stuck in. One of his biggest fears is becoming too reliant on anyone after all, molded by the expectations pressed upon him years ago.
What are some warning signs that your muse is getting depressed?
Let’s pretend he’s not already depressed.
The signs are rather stereotypical, if a bit more dramatic due to his mental condition. Lack of sleep, low motivation, mood swings, a dangerous tendency for self-destructive habits like excessive drinking. Smoking, while a great form of stress relief for him, is only preferred over alcohol for the motion of doing so and the steady breathing required, easily abused if his nerves are fried from obsessive thoughts and waking dreams/nightmares.
Does your muse pray, whether it be to a god or some other force?
Though his general thoughts on being Catholic are on the more pessimistic side due to the holier-than-thou attitudes of some of its practicioners and the controversies surrounding a select few leaders, he genuinely finds peace in praying. He doesn’t think that the formalities are necessary either – it’s the thought that counts the most to God.
