// sunday⌇˚.༄
⮑ Oh boy… we’re starting off angsty I see. Yeah so he’s never been in a relationship, ever. He’d never put someone else in his role willingly, especially if he cared about them. And I feel he would never have been allowed to. After his parents death, I think the only physical content he ever really had was Robin.
⮑ He has a lot of religious undertones, he was kept pretty pure and followed the rules he was given as much as possible. I’d also like to say, being with Sunday pre him joining the astral express and after is pretty different. Pre joining the express, let’s say he is allowed to be in a relationship (or he keeps you secret), he’s very nervous with physical contact. After joining the express, he’s more open to it. He can admit how touch starved he is, how much he craves it.
⮑ Pda is 100% out of the question. No. That’s way too risky, even if your relationship is public (which I don’t really think he’d do). After joining the express though, I think he’d be worried of making the crew uncomfortable. He’d probably hold your hand or put his hand on your back but that’s about it. Affection is vulnerable and private, and to him should stay that way.
⮑ Before it was mostly you. Even if he allowed himself in a relationship he’d keep you at arms length trying to protect you. He wouldn’t allow himself the luxury of falling asleep in your arms, or the reprieve of holding you close after a long day. After, he’d go to you a lot. He’s admitted his vulnerabilities, he’s changed, he doesn’t want to be ashamed that he wishes to hold you or be held.
⮑ Sunday before would always take on the dominant roll, but tbh, I think he’d be a little spoon. I don’t necessarily mean in a submissive way, and I don’t think it’s an indicator on his role in the relationship. When he was a child he was very sensitive, and it’s clear he still is now. He’s building himself back up, trying to be true to himself. Before, he’d be afraid of being vulnerable. After, he could really use being held as he cry. He’d be curled up into your chest, gripping your shirt. But he’d still hold you just as willingly, because he still feels responsible for you.
⮑ 8.5/10, he’s actually a really good cuddler and will always put you first, he doesn’t get a higher number bc before, he was a mess.
// acheron⌇˚.༄
⮑ She’s not used to people being comfortable around her, and frankly, she doesn’t blame them. But when you show you feel safe with her, when you hug her for the first time, it all changes. You find that actually, she’s quite the cuddle bug.
⮑ On first glance she may seem like someone who doesn’t do affection, especially physical. She keeps a distance from everyone. But that’s because she has to. Being an emanator makes having relationships very hard. But she found you, and you got to see past her mask. She’s caring, she’s kind, and shocking to most, she’s gentle. She knows how to cuddle, she knows how to show affection, and she loves spoiling you with it.
⮑ She is not one for pda, she would never put you in such risks, and she is not one for attention. Even if no one knows who she is, being physical with you will surely draw some unwanted attention.
⮑ It’s pretty 50/50 on who goes to who to be honest. She’s not ashamed of wanting to be affectionate with you. If she needs a hug or knows you need one. And she makes it very safe for you to go to her first. She’s very intuitive though, so there’s a good chance she will go to you first when she knows you want/need it.
⮑ The most common is you laying your head in her lap. She will play with your hair and intently listen to you yap about how your day went. It’s honestly her favorite. But she will happily change it around to whatever you wish. You want to hold her? Okay then, she will pay on your chest. You want to be more physical? You can sit in her lap and hug her.
⮑ 10/10, as long as you don’t mind that she doesn’t do pda, she’s honestly a wonder cuddle partner. I desperately need a hug from her.
// aventurine⌇˚.༄
⮑ If sundays was angst my then idk what to call this. Bc how Aventurine reacts to affection is purely based on his past. Which is… traumatic, to say the least. It involves so much violence, slavery, and sa. Touch is dangerous, touch is vulnerable, touch is a tool. For him to feel comfortable enough to let you in truly, he must really love you. Bc oh boy is this man broken.
⮑ I honestly think we glossed past the part where Aventurine was a slave and was sa’d too quick. I get it, he’s sexy, charming, got twink energy, whatever you guys wish to say. But he does have a history, it was shoved right in our faces. In order to buy his “freedom” from all the physical torment, he took on a position which causes him to have a heavy mask, one that is charm and flirtatiousness.
⮑ He does not trust easy. His friendliness, his charm, it’s all a mask to hide how scared and broken he really is. We see a few times his hands shaking while he’s performing, seemingly prideful and confident, when in reality he’s scared. He doesn’t do physical touch with just anyone. If he feels safe enough for you to touch him, to cuddle him, he must first really get to know you and truly love you. He’d have to let his mask down.
⮑ Sadly, yes, he will do pda. But it may not be for all the right reasons. He doesn’t like to if he can help it, he doesn’t want you to end up contracted to the IPC. He wants you to be free. But if you’re already known, he’ll be protective. Always an arm around your waist, kissing your cheek is someone gets too close. But there is a part of it that is genuine. When he’s anxious he will hold your hand, or fidget with your clothes ever so slightly when he’s got his arm wrapped around you.
⮑ Honestly, it’s pretty balanced on who will seek who out. However, in the beginning stages of your relationship it had to be you. He’s super busy, and still pretty hesitant about cuddling you. The easiest time to catch him would be when it’s time to sleep. But once you two fall into a rhythm, once he’s more comfortable and relaxed, he will seek you out as well.
⮑ His arm wrapped around your shoulder or waist, holding you close while you two watch a movie together. Him holding your back to his chest and taking in your scent, which just so happens to smell like his body wash. Him clinging to your torso after having another nightmare. Cuddling with him is chaotic at times, but also desperate. He prefers picking the position, it feels safer to do so. But he will let you pick as well.
⮑ 9/10, he’s very warm and attentive, just a little traumatized.
// black swan⌇˚.༄
⮑ She’s definitely a cuddly person with her partner and she’s not at all afraid to show it. Hers is going to short bc I don’t have too much knowledge on her or too much to say.
⮑ She’s confident, she’s comfortable, and she’s not the type to be ashamed. While some of it may be a mask, I do think it’s part of her actual personality. She doesn’t mine physical affection, and she loves the reactions she can get out of you.
⮑ She spent mine pda. Partly because she can show herself at any time, so if someone she’s she’s usually in control of who and when. But also because she doesn’t see it as a problem or a threat. If she wants to hold got hand, then she will.
⮑ It’s balanced on who goes to who, you feel comfortable enough to seek her out first, but she too will also seek you out. She likes having you near while she’s dealing with things. She loves having your touch or tbh even just your presence.
⮑ She loves loves loves having you in her lap. She loves teasing you, she loves just holding you. Awake or asleep, though she prefers awake. She’s also down to cuddle however you wish, but she prefers to be big spoon.
⮑ 8/10, she’s very comfortable to cuddle, but she’s also a big tease.
// dr ratio⌇˚.༄
⮑ I’m not gonna lie, while I don’t pay too much attention to dr ratio (I’m sorry yall he’s just not my cup of tea), I feel like you deserve an award for getting that close to him and getting him to be physical.
⮑ He’s very closed off, he’s private and purposefully doesn’t let people close. Whether it be because he doesn’t think they’re worthy, or because he’s hiding something, it doesn’t matter. So the fact you got close enough… you’re both brave and lucky. He’s not very physical, especially at the start. You hug him and he’s disturbed.
⮑ Lmao… no. Like- never. How dare you ask. He wouldn’t do it to be protective, he wouldn’t do it to make someone jealous or back off. No. He finds physical intimacy of any kind in public to be foolish and inappropriate. For you, and for others.
⮑ You got to him, I can’t picture him wanting ti go to you much first. Something would’ve had to really shake him up, or he’d realize you really need it. Despite how critical he may be, he does genuinely care for you. And if he sees you struggling and knows you need a hug, he will initiate it. I don’t see him as someone who thrives off of physical touch, so it makes no difference to him.
⮑ Whichever ones you like the most and he can be the big spoon in. You want to lay between his legs and against his chest? He’s fine with that. You want to spoon? That’s okay. You want to sit in his lap when he reads? That’s… actually not bad.
⮑ 5/10, he’s surprisingly warm and being wrapped in his arms is nice, but he’s quite the soul to deal with.
// argenti⌇˚.༄
⮑ Thee knight of beauty who swore a solitary life for Idrila? You managed to get him to commit to you? Congratulations, he quite literally worships the ground you walk on. And physical affection comes with that package.
⮑ He is actually very physically affectionate, he’s very affectionate in general. I really do mean it when I say he worships the ground you walk on. If you enjoy physical affection, if it’s a main love language for you, he will make sure to do it always.
⮑ He is comfortable with pda for the most part, he’s not ashamed of how he loves you. He will hold your waist, your hand, cup your cheek, he loves you. And he will show it whenever. I mean, bro literally rizzed a plant. He doesn’t care.
⮑ He probably goes to you more, especially if you love physical affection. He does it for himself, but most importantly, you. But if you’re the one seeking him out, he will happily oblige.
⮑ He loves holding you, he loves taking care of you. So any position where he can do that is a must. Other than that, I can see him loving to lay his head in your lap, and he loves when you play with his hair.
⮑ 7/10, he’s a wonderful cuddler I’m sorry but that armor, ouch…
// boothill⌇˚.༄
⮑ Bro is a wanted criminal who’s planet got destroyed and who’s daughter got murdered. Yes this is relevant to cuddles. Because he was a dad, to a girl, he gives amazing cuddles. But he’s also private and doesn’t trust easily, and you can’t convince me cuddling another living being doesn’t hurt.
⮑ The first time he ever touched you, ever did any sort of physical affection, it hurt him. To allow himself to love and be loved again… But he craved it, he wanted it, and you enjoying it did help. It took him a bit to grow comfortable with affection, but once he did, it’s home.
⮑ He’s iffy on pda, it isn’t his style. But if he needs to be protective, if someone is trying to make a move, then he definitely would. But if you’re out and about no not really. Not that he’s the type to be out and about.
⮑ You mostly go to him for cuddle time. But he isn’t above going to you. Mostly if he knows you need it, but sometimes he will indulge himself when he wants cuddles. Usually when he’s feeling down.
⮑ He loves hugging you from behind, spooning, having you between his legs or laying on his chest. He loves holding you.
⮑ 6/10, it takes a bit to get him comfortable with cuddling, but I also deduct points bc his chest is metal, that can’t be comfy for long term cuddling.
