Just curious; what would all the main guys + Kazu and Raath be like with someone who they're legitimately in love with?

Akello: pretty soft and noticeably more relaxed, feels like he can let his guard down. Very protective.

Mori: Clingy af, mayhaps a little TOO comfortable around his s.o., wants to be in proximity as much as humanly possible

Amir: Guarded glances, let's his guard down more, infodumps like craaaaazy, will let you watch him paint

Marcel: Plays it a little more seriously for once, isn't afraid to say how he feels, shows you off to his friends Kazu: Full Doberman Mode, even MORE protective, looming constantly, feeds you, gets grumbly/jealous pretty easy. you see him belly laugh for the first time

Raath: Stinky little freak man. Never too far from you, Jealous, Possessive, brags a lot, tries to bait you into arguments cause he thinks you're funny when you're mad, lets you punch him maybe

I haven't posted a lot of art lately so here's a bunch of sketches!

[tricitymonsters]

RO's reactions to a mc who will utterly throw down for them? Especially a smaller scrappy one punching way above their weight class? I'm a tiny 5' tall man and my mc is equally short and full of short rage and he's absolutely on sight with Raath.

There’ s really nothing I love more than some rabid little short stack throwing caution and sense to the wind because someone is asking for an asskicking, it’s just such a delightful trope.

Akello: pinching the bridge of his nose, grabbing MC by the scruff. He can handle himself for one (not that he doesn’t appreciate the sentiment). For two, he’d rather try DEescalating before throwing hands. Will glue MC to the ceiling or make a Child Leash out of slime to keep them in check if necessary. Secretly can’t help but find it endearing, however.

Amir: Actively encouraging it. Delighting in situations where MC starts rolling their sleeves up and/or taking off their earrings. Will intervene if necessary but he’s totally content to play Princess to MC’s white knight.

Mori: Physically incapable of resisting a fight. Appreciates what you’re doing but will be right there with you, bouncing on the balls of his feet and ready to- at worst- play tag team with MC. Mostly likely situation though, is him jumping directly into the fray so you can live out your arcade beat ‘em up.

Kazu: will scruff or grab MC’s skull and pull them back… He’s the trained and decorated martial artist, HE’s the junkyard doberman guard dog, plz let him do the protecting. Is not above complimenting the way you ball your fist though.

Raath: Delight. Will egg you on to see how far you go, mostly likely to yell FINISH HIM

Marcel: LOUD and animated cheering. This is going up on tiktok and you’re going viral.

out of the main 3 + the 3 side characters who are the biggest yearners, romanticly speaking?

Akello. He's fucking HELLLLLA lonely even if he pretends he's not. He gets depressed and eats Struggle Food its pathetic.

Amir and Mori are tied. Amir pines like an 18th century poet and is sure he's 'wasting away' but also viscerally hates talking about his feelings with 99% of people. Mori pretends he's fine and wastes his time with anything to distract himself from the Yearning and only ends up making a dumbass out of himself.

Raath but he swears its Obsessive Stalking and Absolutely Not Yearning. He doesn't experience weak soft human emotions >:[

Kazu might pine but he'll never say anything or act on it, convinced that its a "Him" problem. Sorry, you'll have to make the first move.

Marcel's not cold but he can sometimes ascribe to the "Easy Come, Easy Go" mentality. He will light up like a kid on their birthday though if you call him during a good Yearn.

Helloo. I don't think this has been asked before, so what is it that the guys find attractive? I mean out in an everyday situation. What is something about a person that'd make them think about them later in the day or make them consider making a move on someone because they picked their interest?

Mori - A really loud, cackling laugh. Like, zero pretenses/no time to try and keep it demure/indoor volume, you just found something so funny that you kind of let your most natural laugh out even if it's kinda goofy or weird. Bonus points if you're laughing at something he did.

Amir - Really gets hung up on people being open to new experiences and this only gets stronger the more "sheltered" or whatever the person is. For instance, being open to trying a totally new food, explore a totally new city, try something completely different- Even if you end up not liking it in the end!! Amir likes showing people he cares about New Stuff. I kinda think it's his way of trying to find a positive way to share the crazy privilege he grew up with. He's had this fancy dessert before, so he doesn't care about it, but watching YOU sample it- watching your reaction- is really gratifying, and he'll be thinking of the way you scarfed those imported macarons all night. Akello - Loves to feel relied on and will kinda fixate on moments where you went to him for help or comfort first. He feels really gratified when you call him first after a bad day or if you ask for advice on something (even if you don't end up taking it). It seems kind of a weird thing to trigger soft anime petals filter when he looks at you but he needs to be needed and he needs to care for the people he cares about. That you trust him like that- even while still in the platonic side of things- makes him want you around more.

Raath - Stand up to him even though you're visibly scared and he'll start obsessing. He respects backbone even if you can't stand toe to toe with him in a fight and will find himself really interested in the fact that you told him to fuck off while you were also shit scared of him.

Marcel - Doing stuff because you think its fun without worrying about the Gaze of Others. Sticking to a style of fashion even if others find it weird or too eclectic, having a hobby you're unabashedly excited about, liking the media you like without regard to cringe (you can still be critical about it but you don't pretend you didn't also enjoy it).

Kazu - Rare signs of weakness but a resolve to do your best anyway. He's a little like Raath in that he respects backbone and self sufficiency in others but when you show him a glimpse of your vulnerable or anxious side it activates Kazu's guard dog programming and you can expect his protective inclinations to intensify accordingly.

Thank you for indulging me with my last question, i was seriously expecting it to never reach the light of day lol. I do have another tho! How would the ROs/guys react when they first discover that MC has an erogenous zone (Or is sensitive) Along their lower back? Like their mid to low back? I can imagine Amir and Akello discovering it by accident when they gently brush their hand along MCs back to guide them somewhere and the MCs back just shoots straight up and starts blushing because oops, now the MC needs a moment to calm down (Bonus if the MC get's flustered at them finding out)

Prepare for this to be weaponized fully! Though the guys have different methods for exploiting this to their own ends.

Mori absolutely overuses it. Convo he doesn’t really wanna have? Stopped paying to him?? He’s got nasty curious little goblin fingers that are going up the back of your shirt. Honestly, I think Marcel may be in this camp too!?

You’re pretty spot on about Amir and Akello, they’re both a lot more subtle with this new found power… though I think Amir is way more prone to abusing this, especially in public and ESPECIALLY as a tease for what’s to come later. Amir’s definitely prime to drag his nails over your clothes too just to garner a reaction.

Raath lacks subtly so if he’s going to do this he’ll over do- most likely to just find a way to bite any sensitive spot he can exploit.

Kazu is somewhere in the middle, I can see him keeping his hand to the small of MC’s back all the time but also I can see him getting pissy and jealous if someone else touches MC there- even innocently.
