what is my muse’s ideal date?

Claire’s ideal date is a fun date. So, to say that the possibilities are endless is an understatement haha She loves it when her partner thinks a bit outside the box and invites her on somewhat unusual dates. Like, she’d totally be down for some bungee jumping or exploring caves, but she can also be down for visiting an aquarium, a museum dedicated to strange things. Hell, she’d even be happy with home dates if they include games or some nice movies and cuddling!

what are three traits that my muse looks for in a partner?

1. Good hygiene 2. Can keep a conversation going (aka not someone who replies to things with ‘yeah’, ‘okay’, ‘sure’, etc.) 3. honesty

Other than those three traits, she isn’t one to base her choice of possible boyfriend or girlfriend on physical appearance (although she needs to find them a tiny bit attractive otherwise like…?? Haha). She doesn’t mind if they are taller or shorter than her, or whether they have blue eyes or green ones. She has realized after dating a few people that she seems to be going for the ones who are quieter and a bit more introverted than her. It’s probably because it balances her extrovert personality. She can get them to explore things with her, but they can also be the voice of reason when she overlooks the risks of a project, which is something she often tends to do.

how does my muse feel about love? about falling in love? about being in love?

Claire, passionately quoting moulin rouge: 

Love is a many splendored thingLove lifts us up where we belongAll you need is love

Claire thinks that love is a great feeling. Of course, she likes to focus on the positive aspects of it rather than the negative ones. She enjoys seeing couples who truly love each other. She believes she can easily tell apart those who genuinely love each other and those who don’t. There are just some signs. There’s a certain fondness that installs itself after a while and you can’t fake that.

Falling in love is like going on an adventure. There will be ups and downs and moments where you will question what in hell you are doing, or why your stomach is doing that floppity thing it is doing whenever your crush is around. There will be days of sunshine, then rain, and maybe at the end of your journey you’ll meet a dead end, but at least you will have made some memories to cherish along the way. There’s also a chance of reaching your destination and discovering that the door that’s preventing you from going further is slowly being opened for you.

Being in love is great! How could it not be? Getting to share special memories and kisses with your favorite person? How could this not be completely fabulous? (again, she likes to focus on the good rather than the bad. That’s not to say that she ignores the bad completely or would let herself be mistreated). Her favorite thing about being in love is that so many things that used to not really matter suddenly become significant. You remember the smell of your partner’s shampoo, you notice how their palm fits in yours, etc.

how does my muse act, consciously and/or subconsciously, around people they are romantically interested in?

She will blush more! Although this is not something she has much control over haha I’d say it’s relatively hard for others to tell that she has a crush on someone because she doesn’t act too differently around them, except she will be a little clumsier. She tends to be clumsy even when not having feelings for anyone, but it gets worse when she is around someone she likes. It will be little accidents like accidentally knocking a pot of ink over or dropping the pile of books she is carrying because she wasn’t looking where she was going and ended up tripping over or walking straight into someone. She’d be the kind to have sauce dripping from her burger down the front of her shirt and not notice it right away because she is too busy staring at her crush haha (and then she would realize and turn tomato red).

She also tries to spend more time with the person she likes, but without making it too obvious so she would be the kind to be all ‘so I heard X and X are throwing a party and I was wondering if you’d like to go?’ so like, they are sort of going together but they are not going to be alone? (that’s usually in the beginning though, to test out the waters and see if there might be some potential there).

what would my muse consider a “perfect gift”?

This is so hard! But I think Claire’s answer would be A DRAGON!

That would be the ultimate perfect gift for her like, nothing else would compare. Second choice is meeting either Charlie Weasley or Newt Scamander, since she really looks up to them both. After that, it doesn’t really matter what she gets. It’s the intention that counts. It’s not hard to find her a gift since she likes A LOT of things and she will be happy with a book, handmade friendship bracelets, matching keychains, etc.

how would my muse handle seeing their object of affection falling in love with someone else?

First of all: aksjgaslkgjag (translation: mun is having a moment lol)

Now that this is out of the way, let’s get down to business. Since this is something that Claire is currently dealing with, here is how she has been handling things so far.

Falling in love with (or I would prefer to say ‘developing feelings’ for) someone who is interested in another person is not fun. It sucks because you want them to look at you, but they don’t really notice you (and if they do, it doesn’t necessarily show?). It’s even more difficult if you have been friend with the other person for many years because then the problem is to sort of break that image of ‘I’m always around as a friend’ and replace it with ‘hey, btw you and I would probably make a good pair’.

So far, she has been bottling things up and hasn’t said anything. However, she did take some risks that paid off….to a certain point. She doesn’t want to confess her feelings because she is afraid it would burden the other person too much. Or maybe she is just scared of the answer and possibly ruining a great friendship. She believes that it is better to give the person she likes some time to deal with their own feelings. But while she waits for that to happen, she sticks around, and makes sure that she is there to cheer up the person she likes when they’re not feeling their best (which probably doesn’t help with the whole ‘let’s break this friend image’ thing tbh but oh well).

does my muse consider themselves a romantic?

Absolutely. She loves everything that’s romantic, even the kitschy clichés :’D But then, she also can have some strange definitions of what’s romantic in her book. For example, making a huge discovery with her loved one such as possibly being the first to see a yeti is something she would consider romantic! But she is also all about those fancy proposals and weddings tend to bring some tears of joy to her eyes. She enjoys romantic literature and even though she is not afraid to take matters into her own hands and ask a guy out first, she still likes the idea of being courted by the guy. She’s not going to be mad if it doesn’t happen, but it doesn’t hurt anyone to daydream about it once in a while, right?

how would my muse go about confessing to someone they liked? would they do it indirectly or directly, or maybe not at all?

First, thank you for sending me one! :D

As for the answer, I think it would depend on the situation. If she knew that the person was single and wasn’t pining for someone else, she would confess directly. She’s usually not one to beat around the bush. But in her current situation, she has feelings for someone who has feelings for someone else so she hasn’t said anything. It’s not really because she is scared, but rather because she doesn’t believe it is the right time to confess. Will it ever be? Who knows haha
