A Short Ask List About Love.

@thexcarrollxtimes

Is your OC at all romantic themselves? Or is romance something they expect others to perform for their benefit?

He's accidentally romantic lol. Sure, he asks Eric for advice, but usually, he relies on little things he knows about Emily, and it happens to count as being romantic. Bathing together, letting Em paint on his back, cooking for her (especially off-grid cooking, in the wilderness)... But in their case, playing games together can be incredibly romantic. In short: Zach is very romantic as long as we're not talking some list from Cosmopolitan, but a very personalized, carefully tailored list of things that make his partner happy.

Has your OC ever had their heart broken? Have they ever truly recovered?

He had been used in the past, manipulated, and taken advantage of, since he tries very hard to make up for being so introverted, and was unlucky enough to have a toxic first boyfriend. Luckily, Emily appeared and it's all in the past.

If your OC were in love, how might they recognise this? Or would they be too much in denial?

No denial at all; as soon as Zach recognizes he's in love he shares this revelation, same with the first "I love you" that comes to his mind, etc. He's blunt and won't hide anything. To be honest, I don't think he would be able to hide or deny it.

15. what is something they consider a kink of their own?

9. (love) If your OC were ever to fill out a Dating Site (or pamphlet or newspaper) profile, then what would they include?

17. (spicy) What’s the longest you’ve gone without sex, and how did it affect your mood?

what is something they consider a kink of their own?

Sensory deprivation (blindfolded sex) and power imbalance. Bed is the only place he likes being told what to do, so a bit of dom/sub dynamics is more than welcome. He also wouldn’t mind if someone wanted to join in.

If your OC were ever to fill out a Dating Site (or pamphlet or newspaper) profile, then what would they include?

He wouldn't ever want to have any dating site profile etc, which is a headcanon within a headcanon... But he would mention his hobbies (cooking, EATING, jogging, old Hollywood, and languages), make sure no one knows it's him, and if he was looking for love, he would mention his daughter. One night stands don't have to know. But dating sites are NOT his style.

What’s the longest you’ve gone without sex, and how did it affect your mood?

Probably a few months, because of his work and his wife finding a replacement. Sure he knows how to take care of such problems, but Eric likes to stay in touch with the character he's playing and, surprisingly, it helped with some roles. It would be difficult for him to go without sex if his partner were around and actively denying him, but despite a (rather) high sex drive, Eric can stay celibate for a while.
