Aaand Jerath and Pheres, even though they just met?
OKAY, SO LET’S GET THIS OUT OF THE WAY: Pheres’s willingness to forgive characters of their bad behaviour largely relies on if he thinks they’re hot or not.
Unfortunately, Jerath does not his his standards at all.
Pheres thinks he’s a cerulean who’s trying to raise above his station by pulling rank on him. He’s proud of Videle for managing to become matesprits with a blueblood, but his constant thoughts, towards Jerath, could be summarised as “she could do better” - he is a caste that’s scraping the bottom of the barrel of acceptable blue hues, trying to act like he’s navy.
His aggression, his terseness, Pheres’s perception of him as condescending and threatening all set him at edge. I forget if Pheres actually knows that Jerath is a raider, but that would not add to his opinion, unfortunately. Dude does not want to be in a room with Jerath right now. He doesn’t even particularly want to be in the same building.
.. unless he thinks he can leech more money out of him, at which point Pheres’s perspective will change from “actively dangerous, slightly unpleasant, avoid” to “actively dangerous, slightly unpleasant, but how can I turn this situation to my advantage?”
RS: | She is Bubbly and Soft | And I would be Rather Jealous of Her Eyepatch | If It were Not For the Implications | But | It Matches Her so |- WELL -|
MEME THING for Em/Pheres, ID/Steamy. Pheres/Lucina, and Maecii/Rmeros or Lucina/Rmeros because The World's Most Tragic Sitcom makes me laugh a lot
Cut for length!
EM/PHERES
VISUAL ATTRACTIVENESS: 💗💗💗💗💗(+5)(Pheres is 110% attracted to Em, and general affection and familiarity has turned even the features he mocked initially into endearing things for him. Emerel’s lankiness is now a lean build, his small horns are now dignified, ect, ect. And Pheres remains deeply enthralled by his eyes.)
FRIENDSHIP LEVEL: 💗💗💗(Even after six months, Pheres is still flinchy. He’s not going to stop beng flinchy, unfortunately, because he adores Emerel and is outright infatuated with him - but he’s also constantly, painfully aware that quadrants will still fuck you up when you least expect it, he still finds Emerel to be physiclly and socially intimidating, and he hasn’t forgotten Em wanted to kick his ass over forged wares.)
(Add in all the minor conflicts over restricted information, how much one should follow the law, and their differing standards of hemoloyalty, and it’s complicated. Pheres adores Emerel wholeheartedly! He does not particularly trust him, and so tends to treat him as a more distant relationship in terms of trust than he necessarily should.)
SEXUAL DESIRE: 💗💗💗💗💗(Combined ridic teenage libido + the affection overload of both of them in the same room + frequently long distance = you could probs add like, +5 to this, tbqh.)
(... and add another +5 when Pheres eventually figures out that Em is a vampire and gets past his initial hysteria. Pheres is goth trash and he has exactly enough white clothing to live out his shitty Interview with a Vampire dreams.)
ROMANTIC INTENT: 💗💗💗💗💗
(Pheres has been going “OH NO I WANT TO DATE AND SLEEP WITH AND POSSIBLY MARRY THIS GUY” since the first time Em kissed him, tbqh.)
ID/STEAMY
VISUAL ATTRACTIVENESS: 💗💗💗💗💗(Steamy’s skin is just slightly alarming, because ID is well-aware that getting paler than him is not actually healthy. But it’s a novelty! And also, she’s really, really hot, so he’ll overlook that.)
FRIENDSHIP LEVEL: 💗💗💗💗(They’re pretty close by ID’s standards! She doesn’t get to know very much about his life, but she knows more than most people - Steamy’s the one getting snapchats of his ballet practice and his adventures with Bonnie. Steamy is also the one getting asked if she ate, what she’s up to, please give him the five page essay on exactly what project she’s working on right now because he is just plain curious --)
SEXUAL DESIRE: 💗💗💗💗💗(See above wrt being really, really hot.)
ROMANTIC INTENT: 💗💗💗(They’re fairly casual, which is how ID likes his relationships, tbh!)
LUCINA/PHERES
VISUAL ATTRACTIVENESS: 💗💗(Pheres likes his girls shorter or the same height as him, and theoretically capable of bench-pressing him. Lucina is neither! However, Luci is a rustblood with an aesthetic not entirely different from his, so that wins her back a star.)
FRIENDSHIP LEVEL: 💗💗💗(Pheres actually, sincerely trusts Lucina to do what is morally right, and to act mostly in the best interests of everyone involved. He has a lot of respect for her, to the point she’d one of the first people he would turn to for advice in a crisis, and part of his constant salt is that he is aware that she does not trust him in the same way.)
(With that said, he also sincerely thinks she’s a sanctimonious hick who would cry if she ever felt direct moonlight on her skin and dresses herself in the dark, SO.)
SEXUAL DESIRE: 💗💗💗(Angry bite-y hate make-outs, like cave-ins, are probably a high risk of them caving together. But also: Luci is not Emerel. Lucina is actually respectable, so Pheres is never going to admit he’d be open to sleeping with her first.)
ROMANTIC INTENT: 💗💗💗💗💗(Pheres is mildly angling at this, in the most round-about way possible! It’s a low-key traditional rivalry, and Em’s occasional comments about him getting a kismesis grate enough that he’s seriously considered it.)
MAECII/RMEROS (is this #graveyard crush???)
VISUAL ATTRACTIVENESS: 💗💗💗💗(Rmeros, while alive, had full sleeves, multiple piercings and glowing white eyes. He sees Maecii’s baby-goth aesthetic and fake lenses and wants to get patronisingly dry about her inability to just commit to the aesthetic, but he secretly loves it. Also, he thinks she’s cute as a fucking button in general.)
FRIENDSHIP LEVEL: 💗💗💗💗💗(Rmeros is dead! He literally has no one else to talk to except for 1) the roving, fading dead and 2) Blanca, so he latches onto Maecii immediately and aggressively.)
SEXUAL DESIRE: 💗💗(I think they’re the same age? LET’S SAY THEY’RE THE SAME AGE. Rmeros wants Maecii’s body! Just, like, in a possession sense. In a “burn you out and take over your brain” kind of sense. In a “I will take this lifeless husk and pilot it as a meatsack” kind of sense.)
(With that said: post-theoretical-zombie-inhabitance, he is still probably less actually inclined towards genuine desire, and significantly more inclined to hitting on her, winding her up and then making wry comments about the immorality of necrophilia, good fucking grief.)
ROMANTIC INTENT: 💗💗💗(RMEROS would genuinely ship this spade, and consider it a done deal, because RMEROS is fucking terrible.)
LUCINA/RMEROS
VISUAL ATTRACTIVENESS: 💗💗💗💗💗(Rmeros thinks her clothing is cute, the tiny, useless horns are cute, and that her general perceived fragility is fucking precious.)
FRIENDSHIP LEVEL: 💗💗(Lucina, as far as he’s concerned, is an ignorant stick-in-the-mud who doesn’t know what’s best for herself, and thus needs to have a guiding hand and positive influence towards proper manifestation of her ambition in her life, despite the fact that - emotionally / physically - Lucina’s likely older than him.)
SEXUAL DESIRE: 💗💗(She is attractive, adorable and he is presumably a ghost inhabiting a dead body in this case LUCINA NO.)
ROMANTIC INTENT: 💗💗💗💗💗(The fact Pheres wants to date Lucina would only provide more motivation, tbqh.)
◭ for ID and Bonnie? And also Izzy and Pheres because I still feel weirdly bad for the guy, haa. 8'D
Put these off for awhile while I was puzzling out answers, BUT HEY.
ID AND BONNIE:
More verbal, but he is significantly less flowery in his language around Bonnie than he is with, say, Fisher in that one log. As he spends more time around her, he’ll probably start loosening his language up more and more, too; he started off not cursing at all, but he’s slipping more and more into less (questionably) formal tones the longer he’s around her.
(He’ll probably start getting more physically expressive, too, but this will be more deliberate - he’ll pick up that Bonnie likes contact, so there’ll be hair-ruffling and elbow jabs and punching her in the shoulder and horn bumps and the occasional spur-of-the-moment hug.)
IZZY AND PHERES:
Pheres is using his constant touching (grabbing Izzy’s hand, patting Izzy’s hand, getting up in Izzy’s space, probably moving on to outright trying to fix Izzy’s hair and/or clothing eventually!) as a means of reassuring himself right now, but once he realises this really isn’t calming Izzy, he’ll back off. Izzy is lowblooded and nervous enough that he’ll keep trying to fall back into it, though. There’ll be a lot of Pheres reaching out to pat him or nudge him or do a reassuring bump and then stopping, awkwardly, and smoothing down his own hair or something instead.
And to channel his own nerves, Pheres is a lot more mobile around Izzy than, say, Emerel. His body language is very subdued - folded in elbows, no real hand gestures - but dude is constantly just jittering, whether that’s pacing, moving around to examine things, shifting foot to foot or just bouncing.
“play the best song in the world, or I’ll eat your soul.”well me and Kyle, we looked at each other,and we each said… “Okay.”and we played the first thing that came to our heads,just so happened to be,the Best Song in the World, it was The Best Song in the World.
What contact photo my muse has set for yours:
Probably some picture of Widsth that he snapped mid-word, so Weeds looks ridiculous. Or one of him on a table, in the middle of an enthusiastic lecture. Or one of him dipping Kadath.
What my muse thinks of the way yours texts:
There are a lot of complaints about using NORMAL LANGUAGE, ORPHEO, HE IS TOO TIRED TO DECIPHER YOUR THEES THOU NONSENSE. =>:|
How quickly my muse responds to your texts:
He reads them very quickly, but it’s up for grabs on if he answers right then, or if he wanders off and forgets about them until he’s checking his messages at 3AM.
How often our muses text:
I can’t imagine they’re DAILY TEXT BUDDIES, but probably whenever they see something that they think the other will find funny?? Pheres texts Widsth a lot of pictures of books, inaccurate bits of history / propaganda, and also probably occasionally pictures of instruments people bring in just to see how much they’re worth. (Playing an instrument clearly means he can appraise them!!)
How often our muses call:
I have no idea, omg. But you mentioned Widsth drunk-dialing Pheres once in a meme, and Pheres has drunk-dialed TOO MANY PEOPLE, so I am picturing there are a lot of drunken phonecalls where they argue about cheerfully inane things / Widsth bursts into song and Pheres drunkenly caterwauls along because well, damn it, might as well.
Does my muse purposefully miss calls from yours:
Yeah. Probably not all the time, but on the semi-regular, because Pheres gets into a snit because he feels like Widsth is ~judging his historical knowledge~, or because he’s ~Acting Below His Station~, or because he is just tired of all these damn midbloods. WHY DOES HE KNOW SO MANY MIDBLOODS. >:|
