eeeee i love them both sm i’m going to answer for bothhh :33 hehehee since this will be longer though i’m going to plop most of it below the cut!
[ ID: a bust sketch of OCs paulinho and lae smoking. lae is a khmer woman with bangs that cover her eyes. she has brown skin, some moles and acne. she has on two chokers, a red spaghetti strap top and several ear piercings. paulinho is a dark skin afro-indigenous man with facial hair, a silver nose piercing and locs pulled into a bun. the sides of his head are shaved and he has moles and a scar on his jawbone. he’s wearing a brown turtleneck and longsleeve with a few gold necklaces. he has stretched ears. END ID. ]
😭 what makes them cry? do they cry easily? paulinho doesn’t cry much at all! he actually developed aspd as a child due to ongoing trauma so there’s very few things that could happen which would make him feel so sad that he would be able to cry. really the only thing that he does feel so intensely for are his parents and siblings, SPECIALLY his younger brother murilo. so if anything were to bring harm to murilo i think he would cry. i think with the rest of his family it’s quite touch-and-go whether he would cry… are they likely to survive? if so he likely wouldn’t cry, but in a situation of his parents being killed or his siblings being killed i think he would cry. when his parents die of old age though i don’t think he would cry.
lae also doesn’t cry easily but she certainly is more likely to cry— she doesn’t have aspd btw. she is however quite emotionally cut off so i feel she tends not to cry in very tragic situations since she’s built up that wall and is “used to’ it. anything extremely major such as her family or closest friends dying she would cry, but other traumatic events likely not. i think she’s more likely to end up crying over the smaller, seemingly “meaningless” things. i think she cries during movies actually! and she’s a bit of a happy crier too, whenever something really good happens to her or the people closest to her she’d tear up a bit.
🍁 what is their favourite season? why? paulinhos favourite season is summer! he really likes the wet season, it’s something he likes watching and he likes the humidity quite a bit. he lives in brazil when he’s not at school so his summer/wet season is around december-march.
lae is actually very similar in which she too likes the wet season. she lived in laos before attending school so her favourite months are around may-september, i think she really likes the kind of vegetation that comes with the wet season is laos.
🕷 what is their biggest fear? do they have any irrational/mundane fears? i think most of paulinhos fears are fairly basic and have to do with any type of harm coming to his family, again specially murilo and his parents. it’s not that he doesn’t fear for his younger sister mària but he got very close to murilo and certainly fears more for him. his siblings that are older (clara, carlito and salome) he doesn’t actively fear harm coming to them as he sees them as old enough to handle themselves. i think he also has a fear of bears. he just really doesn’t fuck with them T.T
lae gets nervous with heights and on planes. it’s a manageable fear but she definitely gets sweaty and uncomfortable whenever she has to be high up. which is tough for her considering she travels a lot— before she started travelling more i think her fear was much worse but she had to get used to it. she also definitely has claustrophobia, she can’t handle being squished into tight spaces very well. irrationally i think she has a strong aversion to maggots and other worm-like bugs. i think they genuinely make her feel sick if she touches one. so she has a large fear of finding maggots in her food— she definitely checks everything she eats very thoroughly.
they r besties 4evr (it’s obvious by the way neither of them gaf)
