MAI FRAN!!! Very important question for pondering! What do you think Robert would smell like?

I’ve been thinking about it for a while now, but I’ve never come to a definitive answer, and I wanna know if it’s ever crossed your mind!

Whatever it is, it’s gotta have a hint of aftershave, right? Because he shaves every day (I’m assuming based on his getting ready for work sequence in Episode 4)

And would it be weird to say that he definitely smells a little like dog, too? Not like overwhelmingly wet dog, but like Beef is always rubbing up on him. I’d be surprised if he didn’t either keep a lint roller or always end up at work covered in fur 🤣

Wait! It just occurred to me… Does Spectren have a sense of smell? 👀

Anywho, you should lemme know your thoughts, mootie! I wanna talk Robert with youuuuuu 🙌

I AM SO GLAD I HAVE SYNESTHESIA RIGHT NOW

So Robert smells like dog food (cuz he let's beef lick his face), mechanic work shop grease(on account of how many times he has repaired the suit on his own and then worked on it with roid), a hint of whiskey and a hint of aftershave.

And yes spectren has a sense of smell just like sharks do underwater, to "smell" blood in water and they didnt realize how strong it was till they got to the surface. Doesnt exactly have a sense of taste but sure can smell things.

Ehhe hope this helps :3 very fun

Okay heres the one you really wanted /silly

Robert sighed as the vending machine in the breakroom rejected the bill once again, spitting it back out as if the crease ruined its flavor like someone who disliked the food they tried despite it being the only thing they ate.

"What are you trying to get?" A familiar ghostly voice asked monotonously over his shoulder.

"Just, uh, the twinkies."

Spectren floated past him and reached their hand past the glass of the machine to take hold of the snack he wanted and phased it back through with them before it dropped into his own.

Sometimes having a partner with ghost powers beats dealing with meanie snack machines.

Hiya, Spiriiit!

For the month of love ask game, how about First Glass for Elarië and Thorin, Bouquet for Spectren and Sonar, and Praline for Spectren and Robert? :)

first glass — how did you two first meet, and what was the dynamic like? feel free to chat about whichever AU/verse you prefer (if any)!

They first met after the dwarves got in the barrels and fled mirkwood

It was a "you need help idiot" "no I dont go home" dynamic at the start

bouquet — how did your first date go? was it casual and chill, or was it more of an elaborate one? who asked who out?

Sonar asked spectren to dinner, sonar thinks it went well (minus not getting laid) cuz they listened to everything he said but that's where things went wrong cuz they listened to everything he said 0-0. Spectren went home confused and misinformed on some things and poor Valentine had to set some things straight and answer way too many questions instead if sleeping /hj /silly

praline — do you and your f/o share similar love languages or are they entirely different? how does the similarity/difference manifest in your relationship dynamic?

Robert expresses through touch and words, spectren is still learning but follows examples and will make an effort to show him love the same way he shows them. Though it ends up being more failed attempts at touch and weird phrases that sound like they might be compliments? Spectren is actually better at expressing by being a presence and spending time. Robert gets to have a ghost hang around and say things that would make phanomaman seem like a normal person. /silly

I'll take a nap and answer your other ask in a bit <3

Robert Robertson and 50? With that thing you reblogged?

Assuming the send a ship and a number for a kiss thing?

So Robert and spectren with a kiss out of love.

The work day had come and gone fairly smoothly, as smoothly as it could with a bunch of ex-villains as a team. Now the sun was setting and Robert was headed out of the building with Beef at his heals following his steps.

A happy bark from the dog alerted Robert to someone still lingering around, looking down to see Beef padding round and jumping in a circle, ever so often he could catch a glimpse of...a hand? A face? Poking out through the ground.

"Spectren." Robert chuckled "Didn't you already head home?"

The being floated out of the ground, stopping their playing with the dog to answer the Dispatcher. "No. I did not."

"I see that. I mean, why not? Why are you still here?" Robert asked, rephrasing his question for the nonhuman who took everything literally.

"I didnt want to." They said simply.

"Any reason for that?" He rose an eyebrow

Instead of an answer, they looked back down at Beef who was sitting by her feet with his tongue out and tail wagging.

"You didnt stick around just to play with Beef, did you?" Robert laughed lightly at the idea.

"Maybe." He replied, not a single change in tone to indicate any emotion as usual, except for the slight smile.

"I'll bring him again tomorrow. You can play with him when you're on break." Robert offered. "He seems to have a lot of fun with you."

"Really?" Their eyes turned back to him, wide and hopeful.

Robert gave an amused smile, finding the small ways they emote actually endearing. "Yeah, really, I mean he likes attention from anyone but he seems to really love playing with you specifically.

Though it didnt show very well, the ghost-siren couldnt hold back their glee and appreciation and floated closer to Robert, placing a kiss on his cheek. A solid kiss, not floating through him.

It surprised him at first but he quickly recovered and had something softer takeover his face. Seeing as she was solid then, he tried something himself, reaching a hand up and managing to place it on the side of Spectren's face. He brushed his thumb over the translucent skin, admiring their features before placing a soft, sweet yet brief kiss on their lips. The kiss held all the words he thought about saying since realizing his own feelings and just never found the right time to say.

Short but I couldnt think of much

Thankfully spectren isnt totally oblivious with romance cuz Heartichor got them first /silly
