Hi! I noticed you were listed as a mod for the @trafficzine and I was wondering if there was any updates on the 7th edition? Results were supposed to go out a couple weeks ago but it has been silent since December. Thank you in advanced!
hello anon o/
tl;dr - apps are still being reviewed, i was going to link to an official update post on this ask but it hasn't been made yet (and i don't have official zine tumblr access) BUT yeah it's still in progress 👍
hi i want to ask u questions but i cant read atm . pick whichever two u like for ur little guys or persnaps a jizzie . ily <33
hii i'm gonna pick one for each <3
🧸 Who still has the very first gift the other ever gave them?
naaji still has the wind chimes nori gave them at their metamorphosis :] (you'll never guess where i got that idea from /silly)
they Might've exchanged gifts at their whole soulbound ceremony thing out of tradition or smth, but that's the first Real gift given between them
👀 Who gets jealous more easily & how obvious are they about it?
yk i think joel is slightly more aggressive overall BUT when it comes to relationship protectiveness lizzie takes the cake (empires joke intended)
like if someone tried to flirt with joel he'd be like "uhh ok...? i'm married. weirdo" but lizzie would be in the background absolutely SEETHING and LIVID just Glaring Daggers at whoever would DARE talk to her husband like that. would she Say anything? no. and if she did it'd be in a super sweet overly polite voice. but it would be incredibly clear from the Look in her eyes what she's thinking. so no one dares touch her joel <3
🌹 🛡 and 🧩 for your little guys nori and naaji? i love learning more abt them :)
HEHE i'm glad :>
🌹 Who fell harder & who fell first?
nori absolutely fell first (and probably also fell harder), but it's hard to tell when his baseline state was "i need to make this person my friend Right Now Or Else" smh
naaji WOULD fall harder but they're 1) arospec so it takes them a bit longer to Realize there's feelings there, and 2) they're so so scared of caring about people (like *really* caring about them) so they repress it </3 they'd be filled with love to Bursting if they let themself be :(
🛡 Who jumps in front of danger for the other without thinking?
oh NORI 100% no doubt in my mind. half bc he's in love and half bc he's just impulsive and stupid /aff
i can't remember if i left it in but at one point it was canon that nori singlehandedly fought off a hoard of monsters* (they're in minecraft. sort of) to protect naaji ... and then immediately collapsed bc bro should NOT be doing that by himself BUT he did save both their lives. did he also get them into that situation in the first place? probably. but he gets a pass for being brave and also gay about it
🧩 What tiny habit of the other do they find unbearably adorable?
nori's the kinda guy to end every interaction with "i love you!!!" no matter who it is bc he's just so bursting with love <3 eventually naaji started saying it back and it slowly morphed from "standard farewell phrase" to "i mean it for real now" over the years
🎂 How do they celebrate each other’s birthdays?
ouhh,,, i feel like naaji would hate their birthday ngl. they haaate being the center of attention and they'd hate getting presents bc "well this is just what you Have to do today, it doesn't Mean anything" BUT nori might get away with it. they'd do something chill. maybe nori brings a fun little treat and they'd share it and chat in the garden :)
nori on the other hand has no qualms about being the center of attention on his birthday /silly, and naaji cares about him a lot and would want to do smth special. unfortunately they're still a little terrified of getting Too close and would paint dozens of portraits of nori but then ultimately be like "here's a sketch of a panda i did. it's not that good sorry [best pencil drawing ever done]" and nori would cherish it forever. and they would also share treats
💕 How did they both realize “oh wait, this is actually love”?
OUHHhh they're SO close to realizing it is...... they're so so close. unfortunately the narrative forbids this,
their love isn't entirely romantic or platonic it's some secret other thing. but they've been slowly discovering it between nori shifting from borderline obsession -> just wanting naaji to be happy even if it doesn't involve him (love enough to let go, etc) + naaji shifting from fear of any kind of connection -> realizing it's okay to want to be happy and be with people. they're growing up :')
[edit: i just realized this is the WRONG ONE OOPS . consider this a bonus one /silly]
💞 How do they act when one of them is sick?
well one of them barely avoided a deadly plague . so-
with caution, probably. they don't live together so they'd call each other a lot to check in + make sure they're resting/eating/etc. nori Might try to sneak over once and say hello in person (regardless of if he's the one sick) but naaji would be like NO NOPE get outta here !! go rest !!! at HOME !!! >:(
🧩 What tiny habit of the other do they find unbearably adorable?
when naaji gets flustered for any reason their antennae get all twisted together and their face goes all red and nori thinks it's absolutely hilarious lol
nori is just an enigma to naaji. everything he does is so Weird and Strange they NEED to study his behavior so badly <- said with barely contained platonic* lust /silly

[jizzie can infiltrate my oc tag sure why not <3]
😴 Who falls asleep first & who watches them with heart-eyes?
joel's asleep first and lizzie is Watching him. with heart-eyes but also with Oh My Goodness He Is So SO Teeny Tiny eyes.....
⚓ If one of them had to leave forever, what would they leave behind for the other?
... everything? /lh
i think the one hang up would be jimmy, on both accounts. they can't leave jimmy behind (again, in lizzie's case) so... as long as jimmy can come too they're all good lol
🫂 What’s their favorite way to hold each other when words aren’t enough?
well joel is very Small and lizzie is very Tall so any way of being held works great for him ^^
for lizzie i think she'd like it if joel hugged her from behind around her neck ? like resting his head on hers and brushing her axolotl frills... depends on their exact height difference ig. but she likes being pet :]
sending another ask for the character ask game as well >:3
🌧️🪥🌹💪 for oli THEorionsound ? (any smp of your choice)
yippee !! :D
🌧️ What kind of weather matches their soul?
hmm... i've learned recently there's many names for this. yk when it's raining but still really sunny?? it's that
🪥 What’s their most oddly specific daily routine?
in esmp i feel like he'd have some kind of daily ritual to try to. idk. petition the gods to bring his friends back? not quite a prayer, more of a "maybe if i repeat this mantra THIS time it'll work,"
🌹 What scent reminds them of the person they loved/love most?
i think... candles, maybe. not even scented necessarily, just the warm smell of wax. smth about an old angel friend living in a church and also a joke about icarus /silly
💪 What random skill are they weirdly proud of?
he's really good at video games (not minecraft -- like tetris or smth) but the problem is anytime he mentions this no one has any clue what he's talking about </3
