🌹🌻🌳 give me the lore
🌹 Where in the world does your OC feel most at home? Is there any reason why? If it’s not the place they were born, where were they born? Is there a certain somebody that makes them feel at home where ever they may be? What does home mean to them?
The little vaporvolph that would eventually become JP had a Home once until they were lured away, never to see it again. They think about it often but if you somehow restored it and dropped Jean-Paul back in it, they don’t think they could possibly enjoy it. There’s a whole universe out there, so chaotic and ever-changing, and they belong to that now. Everything changes and everything hurts but there’s also something tremendously beautiful in the impermanence of others, the way people carry on and create despite their brief lives. They’re not really sure if they were even a person before they came to Earth or just a collection of various sensations and reactions wrapped up in a pink exterior.
Their home now is where their boyfriend is (even if they don’t live together and even if they keep their relationship very secretive) and he’s been their home for a few decades now. JP does not know what they’re going to do when he dies. They really, really try hard not to think about that. They suppose they’ll reinvent themself if they don’t simply run away from other people and vanish but they’re not sure if they’ll ever feel at home again.
🌻 What little things do they notice about people or the world around them that make them happy? What tiny little treasures do they find in the normal every day that makes the world seem a little brighter for them?
People wearing jewelry bought at her shop
The scent of perfumes popular in the 80s
Bright days with no clouds in the sky
The way light reflects off of glass
When humans dye their hair bright colors
When they find tacky floral fabric
When a cat sniffs him and decides he’s acceptable
When someone walks by and he knows that they know that they look good
Girlboss decor, unfortunately
Scented candles because he thinks it’s so nice of humans to make something specifically for making the air smell good
Tiny little weeds blooming because they’re so hardy and good at growing and he doesn’t understand why people don’t like industrious plants
Pencil toppers you can chew on because then that means he’s not gnawing on his actual pencils.
When he sees little dogs boss around bigger ones, though he doesn’t know how the hell he feels about people keeping animals.
🌳 What is your OC’s favourite way to relax after a stressful day? Do they have a favourite book to curl up with? A hobby? Or do they have a nice bubble bath and have an early night to bed?
JP relaxes by simply never relaxing and overexerting themself in every possible way to prove to people that aren’t even alive anymore that they’re a useful, important sentient being capable of complex thought and feats and working on commissions and sewing until the sun rises before setting up shop for the day, punctuated by parties and socializing with people they hate to form social connections to further their business, shopping sprees because that’s what self-care is apparently, occasionally getting into fights at Whole Foods as everyone does, and a few dates here and there when they aren’t obsessed with a work deadline they arbitrarily imposed on themself. They then wonder why they have fits of feeling completely overwhelmed by life, the universe, and everything. This is something they’re working on, so now they only have two jobs instead of four.
Their partner has persuaded them to take regular lunch breaks at local restaurants in an ongoing effort to get JP to chill out and it’s had a very positive impact on them. They don’t really need to eat but it means that they have some time every day where they’re focused on food instead of anything else. JP goes to a lot of vegetarian places because they’re just not sure about the moral impact of eating meat, though they still feel bad about eating plants when they think about it because potatoes didn’t ask to be dug up and turned into fries for an organism that doesn’t even need potatoes to survive.
They do like their hoard of bath and beauty products because JP thinks bathing is extremely sexy. Do they need all of this bubble bath? Is ten face creams a bit too much? Do they really need a a tray for their bath to put their wine and candles so they can drink in the tub? Shh, don’t worry about it. Humans have the right idea. Baths bombs are awesome.
JP watches television sometimes but it’s mostly so they can make accurate small talk with humans because watching television is a Normal Human Activity. They will see art movies because that’s what normal owners of expensive boutiques do but they’re mostly in it for the caramel corn and little candied pecans. They do like concerts, especially jazz, but then it becomes awkward really quick because they also have a very specific interest in musicians and now they’ve dated half the musicians of a specific age in Maroa.
