6) Who has more friends? How do you all get along?
Iris, sort of. Idia doesn’t show up for class in person while Iris has to run errands and take care of overblotting students at the same time, so naturally Iris is familiar with a lot more people than Idia. She still wouldn’t call most of them her friends.
Iris has a much better reputation than Idia among people. They’re usually more lenient with Idia in front of her, like overlooking a snide comment or two from him. But then they also complain about Idia to her. At this point she’s used to him quickly hiding behind her back after sudden bursts of confidence.
12) Do you have any rituals or things that you do together everyday?
Idia lets Iris draw on his tablet at lunchtime, watching the process while he eats lunch(?) in his room. At first she used her fingers & the notes app, but he bought her a tablet pencil and a drawing program. The cost? One fanart of his oshi per day. (It’s unfair, yes, but she somehow manages to draw it every day and still draw what she wants to. Unfortunately her lunch is claimed by Grim most of the time.)
It attracts a lot of attention when the students find Iris drawing, which both of them hate. Idia wants to watch her draw all by himself because she’s drawing his favorite character. Iris doesn’t mind attention… but hates being bothered while drawing, and she’s not putting on a free show.
(Btw the character she’s drawing is @anbaisai’s OC Mayu, I couldn’t give up the opportunity to draw her)
You know the saying 'the world's best swordsman does not fear the world's second best swordsman, but an untrained swordsman?' It's basically that. Zinnia is deceptive in her appearance and way stronger than she looks. She's able to easily subdue men twice her body mass (we see this in-game when she straight-up steals a key stone from Matt by physical force) and that she's not very predictable as she's not a trained martial fighter, she acts primarily on instinct and can get pretty amped up on adrenaline. She regularly handles dragons that are around 200lbs, one of which has a reputation for being particularly violent and difficult to control. I don't think Dude's wanting to mess with any of that.
But he's also very much 'just a guy' to her and he seems very polite, so she has no beef with him anyways and she wouldn't think it polite to mess with him. Maybe an arm wrestle if he's willing to humour her, but he's just a guy and he seems very nice and down to earth. She doesn't wanna fight him.
Hope you & your f/os have a great day & thank you for the ask! 😊 @champmorado

i’m going with a cowboy since ur my fellow cowboy selfshipper. ghoul time!!
q (questions) - do they ask their s/o their opinion on things? do they share theirs?
at the start, definitely not. the ghoul isn’t too fond of “vaulties” (although megan is certainly not a typical vault dweller). and i think he’d definitely give his unsolicited opinion at times, as someone who’s “been around.” as the two start to get closer though and the ghoul realizes megan has some insightful perspectives, he eventually comes around to asking for their opinion on things, sometimes.
r (random) - how spontaneous is their relationship? do they do things on the spot or plan ahead?
most things are done on the spot, but if they’re wanting to do something special they will try to plan ahead. it really depends on what the wasteland has in store for the day. a lot of plans can easily go to shit
s (sleep) - how do they sleep with their s/o?
a lot of the time sleeping is done in shifts, to ensure safety. but for the rare occasion where the two can sleep together, they typically start off on separate sides of the bed (esp early on in the relationship. both are trying not to be vulnerable), and in their sleep they end up snuggling into each other. megan really enjoys curling up with their head on his chest
SFW A-Z ASKS (thank you so much these are really fantastic questions!!! ;w;)
T = Trust(How much do they trust their s/o?)
As much as he can. I don't think he'll ever be able to fully let his guard down, but I do believe he would, with time, come to know Arroux so well that he can be confident in his ability to read them and be near-completely relaxed around them.
U = Unique(What makes them unique as a s/o?)
To me, the unique aspect of Wrio and Roux's relationship comes from the unusual circumstances under which they interact. Wrio is to no small extent bound to the Fortress of Meropide, so it's somewhat significant for him to leave in order to visit Roux or for them to come visit him. It's certainly not a forbidden relationship but it's a very very cautious one. And it's really scary for Roux! Their bravery and determination to continue seeing Wrio despite being terrified of the Fortress is immensely important to him because it shows how dedicated they are and how strong their feelings are for him.
V = Vulnerable(How long until they can be vulnerable around their s/o? What are they like in this state?)
I think it would take a very long time, and I think a lot of it would rely on Arroux first being vulnerable with Wriothesley. Their relationship, by necessity of Wriothesley's occupation but also both parties' respective natures, sorts itself into the protector/protected roles. But this goes both ways - Wrio may be the physical protector, but Roux is equally protective of their beloved in that they make him feel safe enough with them to be emotionally vulnerable, to explore who he is outside of his Warden persona and have a chance to reclaim some of his lost childhood. With Roux, Wrio has a boyish side, a bit playful and curious and maybe even a little indulgent when it comes to treats.
oh deefffffinitely me. i run very cold naturally, and he's a very active person. always going somewhere or doing something, especially at work, where he spends most of his time. so i could definitely see me sitting somewhere with my knees pulled up, hoodie pulled tight around my neck, etc etc ... meanwhile he's in a t-shirt thinking it's kinda warm in here. insufferabllleee ;;; ♡
