I'm sure Milton has a few nicknames he hates too ;) Lord Milly, Lord Stick-up-the-arse

Okay, firstly, Milton doesn’t consider these to be nicknames. They’re insults, and nothing else. He doesn’t have nicknames. But he’s been called... well... a lot.

But this list - however you wish to call it - would be awfully incomplete without @mr-lusic ‘s memorable and unforgettable “Lord Manners” and the iconic flourishs of @americanxsin , and I quote: “reject Oscar Wilde”, “cocksuckin’ piece of shit scum eatin’ Yankee Doodle Faggy cum guzzler”, “twistedrich type of asshole hedonist” and “OscarWilde’s sicko little brother”. Mhm. Yes. Good.

Is Milton -- in most of his verses -- capable of enjoying sex?

Of course he is XD

In a cold, detached, sadistic and inhuman way, but yes, he is ^.^

He wouldn’t fuck his slaves if he didn’t enjoy it. How much of this enjoyment is actually of sexual nature, and how much of it is sadistic or narcissist or power-fantasy-related would be up to a psychoanalyst to decide, but it is enjoyment nevertheless.

Does Milton have any flaws or weaknesses?

Of course <.<

Milton is vain, arrogant, greedy, egoistic, cold as the deep dark ocean, cruel, emotionally detached, hubris is his middle name and he’s inhuman and heartless.

I’d say that counts as having a lot of flaws <.<

If muses were superheroes (or villains) what powers would they have?

Oooh, what an interesting question!

Milton: telekinesis, telepathy and mind control, immortality

Sasha: time manipulation and time travel or invisibility

Jacob: superhuman strength and invulnerability or shapeshifting or control of fire

Tyler: precognition or talking to animals

Most sensitive parts of each muse's body?

Jacob: Let’s face it. He’s a manwhore. His whole body is one giant erogenous zone. Breathe into his direction and he pops a boner. But if you’d want to go for something specific? Go straight for his cock. That’d be a good choice. Also he likes his muscles being worshipped. Nipples are good, too. And he’s got a terrible oral fixation, so lips and mouth are good, as well.

Milton: his brain <.< Other than that it’ll be difficult, because he remains clothed most of the time. But I’d go (after asking permission!) for his cock. Or his hands (don’t tell him I told you).

Tyler: ass (!!), cock and nipples (also lips and neck)

Sasha: neck and lips

Are any of the muses religious? (No Milton, believing you are a god (aside from the original verse where you are) doesn't count)

Jacob believes in God in the traditional Christian way, yes. But he also believes that God has abandoned him so he doesn’t give a shit about God (or so he pretends). He’s firmly convinced he’ll go to hell. He avoids churches because they make him feel uncomfortable and remind him of his sins. He seeks repentance and penance in sex with older men who dominate and hurt him.

Sasha has not really made up his mind yet. He was raised a Christian, but he’s not fully convinced God exists. He keeps an open mind, but usually has other problems to debate religion. He does, however, visit Catholic churches a lot when he’s ot on the streets and on the peak of his addictions. He likes the Stabat Mater statues, the weeping Mary statues. They make him feel like he’s not alone in his suffering.

Milton was raised a Christian, too. He’s had a few debates with Mason about religion, actually. (quote: “God is dead because he never existed. He was created by weak souls, staring into an abyss of meaninglessness. He was created to explain what simple minds couldn’t explain. We live in a world that defies God in any way.” )  Milton believes in the theory that mankind invented God to make life bearable. That humans have weak minds and seek guidance and comfort in a creature bigger than them. Believing in a God makes them feel better about life, it sets a system of value that would otherwise not be there. The only way to make people behave good is to make them fear punishment and hope for an afterlife. Milton is rather pragmatic in this regard. He believes the invention of God was a necessity to build a society, to establish morals,to make people function in the omnipresence of death and suffering. Their minds are too weak to live on without foolish hopes. 

Tyler believes in science, not in God. He believes in the things he can see, touch, theorize and explain. Bb was an aspiring scientist once upon a time, after all.

Milton's favourite book?

He doesn’t have THE favourite book.

Milton is awfully elitist and arrogant.

He sticks to “real literature”. He hates the romanticists. Modern literature disgusts him. His preferred periods in literature stretch from the Renaissance to the storm-and-stress-period. Most poets and writers after that he considers to be inferior.

If he’d have to name favourites it would be Shakespeare in his mother tongue, Molière in French, Goethe (Faust!) in German. He loves to show off that he’s fluent in different languages <.<
