Stillwatch and Trajectory
Send me two character names and I’ll fill out the list for you:
In the hypothetical situation in which these two ladies enter into some form of partnership…
Who is the clingy one?Stillwatch, no question at all.
Who is more likely to admit a mistake?Neither of them would be particularly thrilled about it, but if it was important Stillwatch would probably be the first to admit something had gone wrong. Trajectory would more likely do everything in her power to cover up the mistake without telling a soul.
Would they lie to make each other happy?Definitely. Both of them absolutely would. Stillwatch would feel guilty for it later, though. Trajectory wouldn’t.
Who is more experimental (in bed)?Trajectory. Still just aims to please, so she’s more into going along with a partner’s suggestions, however creative they might or might not be. Coming up with them herself isn’t something she’s very into. Trajectory is much more interested in exploring the possibilities.
Who is more spontaneous?Stillwatch, though she’s not actually all that spontaneous. Trajectory just prefers to always have a plan and a back up plan and probably a backup to the backup plan, so almost everyone is more spontaneous than she is.
What do they do to cheer up each other on a bad day?Trajectory would probably try to be a little more openly affectionate. She would probably sit down with Still and do some small but uncommon and sincere gesture, like sitting next to her and holding hands, and reminding Stillwatch of moments that highlight all the good qualities she so easily overlooks in herself.Meanwhile Still would probably freak out a bit, because she feels responsible for everything all the time. So she would have to leave to calm herself down and get herself into a mental state to be a help and not a burden, and then come back and try to cheer Trajectory up. She might flirt a bit, or try to be reassuring and sincere. Anything she could to help Trajec relax and feel better.
Is there something they’d like to change about each other?Trajectory wishes Stillwatch wouldn’t be so self-critical. While it has helped to push her to much greater heights of success than Trajec ever would have imagined she could achieve when they first met, she can also see all the damage it does to her partner’s sense of self-worth. Stillwatch judges herself so much more harshly than she judges anyone else. Everything is always her fault, and she never wants to be forgiven. Poor girl never lives up to her own impossible standards, and it’s just not good for her mental health.Stillwatch mostly just wishes Trajectory was more open to certain types of affection. She respects the boundaries that are in place, but it can occasionally be discouraging that Trajectory will react neutrally or even negatively to the types of affection that Stillwatch considers the most expressive of her feelings.
How do they describe one another to other people?Stillwatch would probably be pretty sarcastic, unless she’s doing some serious soul-bearing to someone she trusts. If that were the case, however, she’d be sighing and swooning with every adjective she could come up with to describe someone she considers so incredibly kind and intelligent and attractive.Trajectory would keep it pretty strictly professional. Let’s not forget that she is Stillwatch’s superior officer, and she has a reputation to keep.
How are they both handling money?They’re both pretty good at saving, though Trajectory is much more organized about it. Stillwatch is the sort to save her money by hoarding it in a box hidden somewhere in her room, and promising herself she won’t take any out unless she really, truly needs to. Meanwhile Trajectory’s the sort to craft and stick to a very carefully planned budget that allows her to put a little money aside every now and then and let the savings grow.
Who is the more romantic one?Stillwatch would be, but Trajectory is aromantic and romance-repulsed, so… Yeah, that’s just not gonna fly. Which would be pretty hard on them both sometimes, but they would probably be able to work it out.
Lazy days or adventure together? Who prefers what?Trajectory has no time for either. Occasionally Stillwatch might be able to pry her away from her desk to go on a quick adventure, though.
Who is the one to more likely initiate sex?It might be Trajectory, though it’s not a question I’ve ever given much thought to. She’s more demanding, for sure. Trajec’s kind of used to being in charge of Stillwatch, so it wouldn’t surprise me if she was more likely to initiate things like that. Stillwatch can be pretty open about her intentions toward someome she’s attracted to, though, so I’m sure she wouldn’t always be the one on the receiving end.
If they had a pillow fight, who would win?They probably wouldn’t have a pillow fight, but if they did I think it would most likely end in a tie. Stillwatch might win, though, because she’d feel compelled to playfully one-up the boss when she can.
Who plans more cute surprises for the other?Stillwatch plans a lot more surprises. She’s just more openly affectionate in general. Where she’ll show she cares with a midnight serenade or a surprise trip to some beautiful place she heard of, Trajectory prefers to show her affection with small smiles and encouraging words and just a few moments of her valuable time taken away from work to enjoy her partner’s company.
