❤️Love Languages❤️
I had this idea in mind for a while and now I'm finally posting it! For a hot minute, I was highly interested in love languages and took a test of my own. Apparently, I'm a gift-giver which isn't really surprising if you know me personally. So I decided to write down what I think my characters' love languages are.
Mjøsa's would be acts of service, she'd bend hell over backward for the Bevy. If she cares about you, she'll go out of her way to make sure you're okay. Need something? She'll get it in an hour. Hungry? Here's some fish she caught. Tired? She'll carry you home. She's sweet deep down, but please don't take advantage, she's been through a lot.
Lucille would be a gift giver. She has a strange way of showing love and buying stuff is one of the healthiest ways she knows how. Money talks to this fashionista. Hence her giving Olevia most of her clothes. Jose definitely benefits from the relationship and holds no shame in being known as her "sugar baby." She mostly gives clothes and jewelry since they are important to her and a major factor in her career.
Nedjem is a terrible gift giver, but what he is great at is words of affirmation. He excels at encouraging others to do their best. When he does take time to think through his words, they hold value. He channels his father when the moment is right. Also, he gives great hugs, so he has a hint of physical touch as a love language too.
To Olevia, quality time is important. Growing up isolated is not ideal for her, so going out of her way to spend time with someone and get to know them is important. Whether it's baking with someone, training with Dai Tai, flying with her kids, or reading with Renee, Olevia takes the time to heart and carries those moments with her. The ultimate proof of love (for Olevia's case lol) she's sentimental like that. Also, she loves to dance (not the best but can hold a rhythm). Dancing can be intimate for her, holding someone close. Guess that ties to physical touch as well.
Empusa is a touchy person, there's not a moment where she isn't touching her mother or one of her cult members. If she has genuine feelings of love for you, physical touch is a must, she needs to feel skin-on-skin contact. Whether skimming her hand along their back, massaging shoulders, or even playing with fingers are proclamations of love. Surprisingly, if she's feeling especially touchy, she enjoys holding hands. There's an intimacy to it she can't explain, so holding hands is a big step lol.
Sophia is a tricky one, but arguably hers are words of affirmation. Let's be honest though if she' even wants to talk to you outside of her work speaks volumes to your character. Also what she'll say to you won't necessarily be compliments, but back-handed ones. Again, be glad she wants to speak with you, means you meet her high standards for a decent person.
Jodie when she finds someone she likes, she'll stick to them. Become attached to the hip, so to speak. Arthur and Dottie can attest, that Jodie enjoys sticking close to those she cares for. Family scavenger hunts, picnics, nap times, Jodie is always down for quality time and group relaxation.
For Arthur, you know how when you laugh you make eye contact with the person closest to you? Or how when Scooby is scared, he jumps into Shaggy's arms and vice versa? Physical contact with someone he's closest to brings him great comfort. Although he does get annoyed when Jodie highjacks his cases, he's low-key happy to have another presence to join him for the ride.
Gem has the best taste when it comes to gift giving. Growing up with only his mother, he learns to pay attention to what she likes and, especially when a sale goes right, he splurges on his mom (definitely a momma's boy). However, knowing Gem he can use it in a nefarious fashion gifting others to manipulate them to get what he wants. Similar to this scene in Arcane with Mel gifting the councilor that trinket, knowing it would make him favor her. Gem knows how to turn a diamond into coal, so just pay attention to what you have that he may want.
BONUS: Drew values quality time. Growing up in a circus, she enjoyed stretching and working out with her parents. She'd love to share her passion for keeping herself fit with someone who holds the same values. Helping them stretch while talking about their day sounds like a good time for Drew.
Welp, that's all for now! Once I get more adjusted to my new job, I'll hopefully be able to hop on here more. Send in asks if you want, take care!
