24 and 34 for the soft apprentice ask! (I feel so guilty for asking this XD)
Why don't you come find out?
Hiya! For the soft Apprentice Asks, may I request 4, 22 and 38? ^o^
Soft Apprentice Asks
4
22: Do they have a best friend? If so who is it?
38: What makes them feel safe?
“A pile of blankets, a crackling fire, and the ones I love close to me. It’s a cliche for a reason.”
Let me just say that I am living for Marco. (If Kip had her way, she'd probably take him home and make him breakfast/ lunch/dinner!) Soft asks: 4, 13, 28 please!
He'd love that! As long as he gets a kiss as dessert!
What's an item that is deeply important and special to them? What makes it so special?
The necklace he wears has a very strong sense of magic. He doesn't remember what it's for or where he got it, but every time he is separated from it, he cannot function. Mysteriously...
What's the most memorable compliment they've ever been given?
"You are so, so special." From who? You'll have to wait and see if I ever decided to release his lore. >_o
What makes them feel safe?
A firm, secure hug and Benji is always a sure fire way to make him feel safe in any situation!
2 and 8 for both sets of questions! - leatherandsaltybitters
If your apprentice was a romanceable character in The Arcana, what would their route be like?
His route would be chock-full of fluff and romance! The struggle that he has to overcome is realizing he can feel other emotions other than joy and he can take care of himself first instead of others sometimes. q_q Help him.
What would your apprentice want as a birthday gift?
You could give him a rock that reminded you of him and he'd keep that in his bag to hold when he gets anxious. He loves everything you give him.
What's their favorite comfort food that they eat when they're sad?
Bet you're expecting grapes, and that's partially correct. When he's especially down, he will eat whatever you put in front of him. He'll just burn it off working out later :(
If they were in a book how would they be described by others/the narrator?
A never ending fountain of smiles and cheers. But it seems forced more and more lately. "I hope Marcus is okay..."
6,9 and 35 for the soft asks :3
What does their laugh sound like?
He loves making other people laugh and happy. He's very much a dork and super smiley but it's all usually very genuine! That blurs into his laugh. His laugh is always warm and hearty, sometimes soft chuckles and others gut-hurting boughts of laughter! It's very light and friendly.
What's something they will never fail to get excited over?
Many, many things excite Marcus. Think of him like a dog, but slightly dumber than Benji. He loves the idea of his friends, meeting new people, going to the bakery, grapes, reading, really anything he enjoys!
What do they smell like?
Marcus smells like a big combination of spices, mostly cinnamon and burnt sugar. It's not overbearing at all and is very subtle. Why? No one knows. But they aren't complaining.
12, 24 and 29 please! (Also I love your art and Marcus is so cute ;-; Essie would love to play with his hair if he was ok with it.)
What's the sweetest thing they've ever said to their partner?
Marcus is oblivious to people who like him romantically so he tends to say things without thinking about how they could be taken 😆 He often says, "You're so cute," "I love your laugh," "The lighting makes you look ethereal," etc etc. And then get's confused on why they get flustered. duh Marcus
What's their favorite (non-sexual) place to be kissed?
I didn't really truly answer this in the last ask so I'll answer it here! While he is big on affection, anything returned to him makes him putty. He's big on his partner tenderly holding his face and gazing at him before taking him in for a gentle, passionate kiss. And butterfly kisses! His nose wrinkles in the cutest way when he smiles during them. Also, for the sake of the last ask, he tastes like grapes! Go figure 😂
What's the cutest thing their familiar does?
We're all aware of the glorious corgi "sploot," and if you're not, please google it. I beg of you. Benji does that, and also lays on his back with his legs in the air. When Marcus goes to feed him, he does his food hops! A bunch of them! He jumps really high for a dog his height. o_o;; When he wags, or as Marcus lovingly dubbed it "nubs/nubbing," he tends to wiggle his entire back half!
EDIT: Marcus would definitely let Essie play with his hair, no doubt about it!
soft apprentice asks from vesuvianmess~ 19, 20, 25, 30 !
What's their favorite texture?
Cloth wise, he enjoys cotton clothes and silk! But otherwise, in a not creepy way, he loves to feel skin. It's warm and soft and oh so huggable
What's something they do absentmindedly that their partner finds adorable?
Marcus fidgets a lot. He taps his collar bones, he makes shapes with his fingers/fiddles with his fingers, he taps his head, and when he's overwhelmed he will flap! He's embarrassed about the latter, so he tries to keep it lowkey (projection time ;w;)
What's their favorite place to kiss their partner?
Again, Marcus is very, very, VERY affectionate so any kisses he can land are good for him. He really likes kissing the back of their neck though, along with inner wrists!
What's their favorite animal?
Time for a little Marcus lore! Growing up, Marcus has always had an affinity for animals. They were always comfortable enough to come up to him. With such a strong connection, he'd be able to communicate with them much like a familiar! Only snippets of, "Food," "Hold," "Pet," "Scratch," really stood out the most, though. He enjoys all kinds of animals but corgis are his favorite for some reason. 🤔
1 and 10 for the boy Marcus 💜
What's your OC's favorite cuddling position?
Marcus likes any form of cuddling as long as he's able to drape himself/his partner over his/their body! But if he had to choose, he'd choose having his partner rest on his chest with their head tucked into his neck anyday.
How many pillows do they sleep with?
Way too many 😅 I think it's a habit he picked up from living with Asra for so long. He finds it lonely and empty without an army of pillows surrounding him. If he cannot make a nest, what is the point?
