On a scale from 1 to 10, how weak are the RO to MC's puppy eyes?

I'm sure I've answered this or something similar before, but let's do it again.

Isobel: 2 - basically immune, but respects the attempt to get their way by strategic tactics lol. Will indulge if it's something she's inclined to give/do, because she's amused, but otherwise... nice try 😏

Max: 10 - weak af, will always indulge, would basically do anything to make mc happy or laugh or smile. total himbo, hopeless case 🥺

Clara: 5? - she knows this trick herself lol, so she's not really moved by the puppy eyes themselves, but if it's something that would make mc happy or smile, she will always indulge anyway, because she wants to make them happy and smile!

Richard: thinks and pretends like he's a solid 2, not at all moved, but is actually a 6, bless him. will grumble about the puppy eyes, but will most likely indulge the mc, unless it's something out of his comfort zone or something he really doesn't want to do

William: oh god, not the puppy eyes! he's well acquainted with the puppy eyes, he has children, so he has to be immune, because he has to say no sometimes, but how can he say no when they're so cuute? a solid 7, will probably indulge, just please don't do it too much in front of the children, or they'll know he's a total softie who can be tricked by adorableness

🪲 From the preference based questions for all of the ROs?

🪲          »        heart    or    mind    or    instinct    ?

Ooh, that's a good one!

Isobel: Mind, for sure

Max: Instinct, perhaps? In the sense that they're not very good at thinking things through and considering the consequences. But also heart, since he's quite ruled by his emotions.

Clara: Heart, always

Richard: He likes to think he's more mind and logic than heart, but deep down I think they're always warring with each other, and often the heart wins in the end. In his line of duty though, it's often mind and instinct that has to come first.

William: Heart, definitely

for the fluff: how would the ro react if they caught mc hanging mistletoe at every possible doorway (or any place really that ro can be stopped and asked for a kiss)

Fluff! 🥰

Isobel: Scoffs and smirks. "Nice try. You do know I'm not obliged to indulge you, right?" Secretly amused, and somewhat impressed by the dedication and ingenuity. Will, inevitably, indulge MC, though she may eventually escalate it from innocent little kisses ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ you asked for it

Max: Delighted. Loves it. It's brilliant! Why didn't he think of it?? Will indulge every time, and will also take it upon himself to hang even more mistletoes all over. It's gonna be a minefield of kisses, no way of escaping them. I hope Mc knows what they're in for...

Clara: Finds it adorable. Utterly charmed. Loves every and all traditions like this. Will help MC hang them all and will happily indulge them every time, grinning, flushed and happy, every time MC traps her, so long as it's appropriate and in private, of course. Will probably join in and try to trap them too.

Richard: A little confused at first. Sighs and shakes his head a little once he realises what it's about, but is secretly fondly amused. Will indulge MC every time, so long as they're alone, but might get a little flustered if they trap him too often. Secretly pleased though.

William: Very amused. "You know you didn't have to go to all this trouble, right? All you had to do was ask." Thinks it's really cute though, and honestly, any opportunity for extra kisses and embraces with MC... He'll happily indulge, probably make sure to trap MC too a few times too.

Thank you for the ask! ✨🤎

Totally stole this ask from another blog but I want to know how affectionate the LIs are AFTER sexy time? Who is the most affectionate after, who is willing to cuddle, who wants to immediately go for round 2, ect?

ooh, it's sexy time. okay children, shoo.. #nsfw

Isobel: Not necessarily cuddly, unless MC insists/is really into that. Even if they were, she would probably not indulge every time, but would love to stay close and talk, or maybe pull out a book or something for one of them to read out loud to the other. Just relax in each others company. Would happily go for round two though 😏 and a third. and a fourth?

Max: Very cuddly. Just try to get out of their steely koala grip, I dare you. You're not getting away. It's snuggle time. Unless the MC absolutely hates that, of course. Is always down for round number two, but would honestly be just as happy, if not more, cuddling. Wickedly delighted if MC initiates round number two though.

Clara: Not necessarily cuddly either, though she would happily indulge MC if they wanted to. Would love to laze around in bed afterwards though, just gazing at MC and pulling her fingers lovingly through their hair or over their skin, or having it done to her in return. Would need a minute before going for round two, and would prefer to maybe clean up a little before maybe? But definitely not opposed.

Richard: Wants to be very affectionate after sex, though he might be a little awkward, at least in the beginning. Is generally just marveling at his fortune, and at MC, all around in awe that this is his life lol. Would definitely wrap his arm around MC and pull them close, probably gazing at them with wonder, unless they tease him about it. Probably wouldn't initiate round two, at least not in the beginning, unless you tease him lol, but he's down if you are.

William: Very doting after sex, big on aftercare and making sure MC is good and taken care of. Only once that is done will he pull MC in and hold them close, probably indulging in a lot of loving, happy kisses that could very well turn into round number two, or just drifting off to sleep. Either is good with him.

Thank you for the ask! ✨🤎

Don’t perceive me BUT…

How would the ROs respond if the MC ended up in an arranged marriage with someone else?

ooof. It's the don't-perceive-me “anon” back with more angst 😖😖

Isobel: Very upset. Embarrassed. But mostly just angry. Angry at herself for allowing herself to fall for MC, for allowing herself to be vulnerable for the first time in her life and imagine a future and a life with MC. And angry with MC for deceiving her and for making her feel this world of hurt that she never would have encountered had she never met them. Likely loses a lot of respect for MC. Can't understand why MC would ever want to be in an arranged marriage. All the hurt and pain would manifest in anger, and those poor people around her 👀 Would likely never speak to MC again and swear off love forever.

Max: Ooof. Absolutely shattered. Inconsolable. Anguished. But not surprised, not really. This was always how it was going to go. No one ever choses him. And why would they? Would shift between absolute agony and despair (why is he so unlovable), to bitterness and anger (he has so much money, why was he not good enough if there was no love involved??). Would all around act out in the worst way — drinking, partying, sleeping around, anything to try to forget, to try to drown out the pain. Would neither want, nor be able, to meet MC again, or see them again, it's too painful.

Clara: Absolutely crestfallen, disappointed and heartbroken. She really thought MC felt the same way; that they had something truly special. Can't help but think back wondering if she wasn't forward enough? Did she not give enough signs? Should she have done more? Or perhaps... Did she do something wrong? Or... Did they just not want her anymore? She's not sure which is worse. Would likely cry herself to sleep for weeks, but make an effort to appear cheerful and normal in public, attend the wedding and offer MC and their new spouse her best wishes all the while dying inside.

Richard: Deeply distraught, furious with himself and full of regret. Drowning in shame for his early behaviour towards them, and absolutely kicking himself for not realising sooner that he loved them. That they were right there all along, and he didn't even see! What a fool. He should have moved heaven and earth to be with them, would have given them everything if given the chance, but once again he is too late. This time he can only blame himself though. He would likely leave immediately, unable to watch it unfold, just try to get a new assignment somewhere abroad in an attempt to forget.

William: Wrecked with heartache and grief, but not at all surprised, and despite the aching pain: convinces himself that this is for the best. They're better off without him, better off with someone with more to offer. And he wants what's best for MC. Just wants them to be happy, safe and comfortable. So this is good. But why does it feel like his heart has been wrenched from his chest? Why does it feel like he can't bear to face another day? Would likely avoid them as much as possible to lessen the wound, but if they came around to see him would pretend like all was well and wishing them the best, all the while the grief hollows out his insides.

Thank you for the ask, "anon" ✨🤎 I see you

[outoftheblue-if]

V i love your demo soooo much & i am so excited for more! i stole this ask from another blog hehe but can we get the RO's reactions to a sunshine shy MC seducing them without really noticing or unintentionally being really hot ? Plzzz

Thank youuu! 🥰🥰

Isobel: You'd likely have to be more direct to seduce Isobel, so she'd just be mentally shaking her head in amusement, partly because she has no idea how such a sweet, sunshine-y, shy person can walk the earth without withering (while also fiercely loving that part of MC), and partly in mirth at how MC is so oblivious to their actions and how it might be perceived. Would definitely take it upon herself to purposely tease MC in return, see how long it takes for them to notice.

Max: Mostly just gushing at how cute MC is, and how much he loves them, while them unknowingly seducing him just makes him grin with delight, because they really have no idea what they're doing and he's so utterly delighted and charmed by it. Would probably also try to tease them back/fluster them back in the same unintentional/innocent way to see how long it would take them to notice/call him out on it.

Clara: Very flustered, heart pounding in her chest and cheeks flushed pink because MC is so cute and sweet, and she just wants to pull them in and kiss their face all over, but they're also making her feel all kinds of tingly and hot, and overly sensitive to their every move and word, and shivering by their touch, but she's not sure if they're doing it on purpose or what to do about it so she's just like 😳😳

Richard: Are you trying to kill him? 🥴 This kind of MC would be like his kryptonite, lol. He would just be walking around with a mental groan like how do they not know what they're doing to me?? 🥴 Just heart eyes and chest pains because they're so sweet and adorable, while so turned on and embarrassed and ashamed by it because they're not even doing it on purpose he needs to get a hold of himself sjkshjk

William: His brain probably wouldn't go straight to seduction, he would probably just find his gaze drawn to MC over and over again in utter adoration, but then he'd slowly become hyper aware of every brush against him and every time their tongue darts out to wet their lips, and he'd just find himself freezing, slightly hypnotised, and all the while thinking are they doing this on purpose?? then reasoning that they're likely not, but he's flustered. Probably would try to shove those thoughts away though, because MC is just being their adorable self and he's somewhat ashamed of thirsting over them like a school boy, when they are not even doing it on purpose 💀

Thank you for your ask! ✨🤎

[outoftheblue-if]

Stole this but .. How would the RO's react to the MC kissing them after they give a suggestion. Mc says 'Fuck yes, you're a genius. Thank you'. And just runs off to do the thing? (crushing stage)

Lmao, so cute, but also so embarrassing??

Isobel: Honestly, I think Isobel would be very surprised, and she's not used to being surprised, so she'd just freeze in place for a moment, staring after MC like.... what just happened?? Once she's overcome the initial surprise though, she would be amused, and pleased. Amused by imagining MC’s reaction when they realise what they did, and pleased that MC recognises that she is, in fact, a genius lmao that MC felt the urge to kiss her for helping them. Has never been kissed before, and is suprised by how much she wants to do it again. With MC.

Max: Shocked. Amazed. Frozen for a couple of minutes while their mind catches up to them. When they finally come to their senses, a wide grin spreads across their face as a giddy excitement bubbles up in their chest. MC kissed them! Doesn’t even mind that MC called them genius. They kissed them! And it was totally random, like it was just an instinct for them. Hope beggins to bloom inside them as they begin to think there’s a chance MC feels the same after all.

Clara: Stands rooted to the spot staring after MC with a dazed look on her face as she touches her lips in wonder. Her heart and stomach flutters while she flushes pink. She’s never been kissed before, and as much as she had hoped it would be with MC, and how many times she’s imagined it in her head, that was not how she thought it would go. Will think about it constantly for the rest of the day, with flutters and pink cheeks, as she wonders if MC meant to do that, or if it was just an accident. She hopes for the former.

Richard: Goes ramrod stiff, frozen to the spot. Richard.exe has stopped working lmao. It would take him a few seconds to realise what just happened, but once he does, his heart begins to thud wildly in his chest as he stares after MC with a flushed face. He did not expect that. Can’t stop thinking about it for the rest of the day. What does it mean?? Why did they do that?? Was it just completely random? An accident? Or was there some meaning to it? Tries to ignore how much he wants to do it again.

William: Eyes widen incredulously, his body leaning in on instinct, but it’s over before it ever begun, as MC takes off away from him, leaving him leaning forwards as if drawn in with a magnet. MC just kissed him. Him. On the mouth? Had they meant to do that? No, they couldn’t possibly. And yet… He feels heat crawling up his neck as he replay it over and over in his head, wondering if they know the kind of effect they have on him. Do they know what they do to him? Tries to avoid MC for a while after, feeling flustered and hot everytime he thinks about them and the kiss.

Thanks for the asks! ✨🤎

It's turg time; what would be the ro's reaction to mc falling asleep on their shoulder/lap? If this had already been asked, you can ignore it if you want 😅, and if it has; what would be the ro's reaction to mc making a sound of arousal I guess on accident?

Turg time 😎 Sorry I'm late!

Falling asleep on their shoulder — in crushing stage, i assume?

Isobel: Falling asleep around/on someone makes you very vulnerable, which is something Isobel doesn't allow herself to be a lot, so MC doing that with her is... very significant for her. Makes her all kinds of soft and pensive. Would find herself sitting very still, allowing MC to sleep while she gazes upon them, marvelling at the incredible turn of events that she's fallen in love for the first time, and indulging in fantasies about what it would be like to be with MC, to have a life with them and allow herself to be truly vulnerable too 🥺

Max: Very, very soft. MC super close to them? Physically touching?? And it’s not in a sensual or sexual way 👉🏻👈🏻 Desperately wants to wrap MC up in their arms and cuddle up with them, yearning to draw close and place gentle kisses on their sleeping face, before snuggling into their neck. Why can’t they have that? 😭 They’re not usually good at sitting still for long, but they’d spend hours, days even, sitting still for MC if it meant having them close. Eventually would be so choked up by how much they want that, and how much they want MC, that they would have to shift them off and move away, or they might literally cry. Wouldn’t go far though, and their eyes would keep darting over to gaze upon MC, and lord help anyone who tries to wake them 😤

Clara: All around heart-eyes. Finds it incredibly cute. Would likely just gaze upon MC, counting their eyelashes and admiring all the details of their face up close, wishing she had a paint set or something to draw with so she could immortalise it. She would indulge for a little bit, letting them sleep, desperately wishing she could let them stay like that. She wants to keep watching them, wants to reach out and drag her hands soothingly through their hair/over their scalp, and trace their features with her finger. But eventually she would wake them — softly, gently, because it just wouldn’t do for someone to find them like that, and she doesn’t want them to sleep uncomfortably, and she’s not really strong enough to move them. 

Richard: Frozen. Stiff. Doesn’t know what to do. Slightly panicked. What should he do? On one hand, it’s not proper, and he doesn’t want MC to feel embarrassed when they wake up. He also doesn’t want them to sleep uncomfortably and hurt themselves. It definitely doesn’t look comfortable. Right?? But on the other hand.... They look so lovely and peaceful. And they’re sleeping on him. On him. Practically in his arms. Exactly where he wants them to be, always. It’s the first time he’s been able to really look at them without fear of being caught, and he’s just awestruck by how beautiful they are, and his heart hurts with how much he yearns for this. Him and them, like this, forever. 

William: Very soft. Heart fluttering in his chest at the closeness as he gazes down at MC’s face, admiring their soft features while they sleep. Heart hurts because MC is so beautiful, and so close, and he just wants to scoop MC into his arms, press them close and never let go. Settles instead on trying to swallowing down the emotions while shifting them off him and into a more comfortable situation. He shouldn’t be indulging in such thoughts. Can’t allow himself to. But it’s getting increasingly harder not to. Gently shifts them, making sure they’re sleeping comfortably, before he quickly leaves, needing to create some distance before his heart bleeds out.

Thank you for the ask! ✨🤎 We love turg time around here! 😎
