Qrow: ❤️💜💖💗💗💗💗💗 Hazel: ❤️💜💜💖💗💗 Clover: 💗💛 💞 (❤️ but shhhh…) Ghira: 💜 (worry not, it's just an observation. The man's hot) Glynda: 💖💗sometimes 💓 Aster: 💓 Oscar: 💛 Salem (same would go for Robyn, Adam and Jacques of course too but I don't wanna spam you forever xD) : 💔

Popping this under a readmore, just for length!

❤️: Wants or is in a romantic relationship with them. 💜: Finds them sexually attractive. 💖: Finds them aesthetically attractive. 💗: Finds them romantically attractive. (x5)

"You feelin' okay over there, James?" he asks, teasing lilt to his tone. But he pulls the other man into a hug anyway. He'd be lying if he said he didn't care..., but as with anything, he's just....scared of what could happen if he lets himself get too close.

❤️: Wants or is in a romantic relationship with them. 💜: Finds them sexually attractive. (x2) 💖: Finds them aesthetically attractive. 💗: Finds them romantically attractive. (x2)

The idea that James Ironwood thinks so highly of him is still a little bit jarring. Part of Hazel doesn't know how to deal with it; it had been a long time since anyone had actually....cared about him, beyond his use as a tool. He hadn't realized what he'd been missing.

💗: Finds them romantically attractive. 💛: Loves them platonically. 💞: Feels attracted to them, but can’t work out if it’s platonic, sexual, or romantic attraction they’re feeling. (❤️: Wants or is in a romantic relationship with them.)

"Be still my beating heart," he says with a grin. "Should I come by later, help you figure things out?" They'd been through a lot together, after all, and there were definitely some feelings there.

💜: Finds them sexually attractive.

A little laugh leaves him. "I'm flattered, General. And if I weren't happily married, I'd certainly be interested, but as it stands...., thank you for the compliment."

💖: Finds them aesthetically attractive. 💗: Finds them romantically attractive. 💓: Is intimidated by them, but wants to be friends with them.

"It's nice to see your sense of taste hasn't been dulled, at least,"

💓: Is intimidated by them, but wants to be friends with them.

"There's no need to be intimidated by me, James," he says with a soft laugh, tail curling lazily behind him. "Though I seem to be getting that response a lot."

💛: Loves them platonically.

He hadn't known the General personally for very long, but there was a lot of depth of feeling there. They'd known one another for quite some time, beyond his experience of the man, and he'd be lying if he said he didn't care about him.

💔: Hates their guts.

"What a good little Tin Soldier you are, even now," she laughs. She doesn't care about him one way or another. He's....irrelevant, in the grand scheme of things.

💔: Hates their guts.

"Believe it or not, I don't hate you, General. I think we could have done some good if you'd told the truth sooner."

💔: Hates their guts.

He's used to humans hating him. Especially when he'd done nothing to them.

💔: Hates their guts.

"The feeling is mutual, I assure you."

@caeloservare asked: 🧲 James on Jimbo challenge!

Send 🧲 for a list of what my muse finds attractive about yours // Accepting    

“......this seems counter productive.” But he’s not complimenting himself; he’s complimenting someone else, right?

Looks good in a uniform. 

Has a majestic beard. 

Good muscles.  Strong. 

Good with a gun. 

Nice eyes. Very blue. 

“I’m not good at this.”

but also Hazel, yes xD

“Wasn’t expecting to do this today, but I’ll give it a shot.”

He has a very strong jaw, and somehow looks even better with a beard.

Gorgeous blue eyes.  They’re deep and dark and it would be easy to get lost in them. 

His voice is very nice to listen to. 

He’s a very good fighter, and tends to stand up for those who can’t stand up for themselves. 

Even if Hazel doesn’t necessarily like the uniform because of what it stands for...., the man looks damn good in it. 

He’s very well-built; have you seen him?

@unfcrtunatescn to Hazel: "Just because you Koss Watts, doesn't mean we are calling him dad as well,"

unprompted // always accepting

Hazel wasn't often bashful, let alone embarrassed, but there's a definite flush on his cheeks at Mercury's words. He had thought that only Tyrian had been around to witness his goodbye to Arthur, but he never should have underestimated either Emerald or Mercury; of course they'd seen what had happened. They kind of made it their business to know what was going on around the base.

But then something else Mercury said caught his attention.

"Wait a minute--you call me dad?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. While he hadn't really considered having kids (he had…..kind of stopped really living for a while, after Gretchen had died), he honestly didn't mind the idea.

Kiss roulette // Accepting

@caeloservare asked: 🎲 for Hazel

RESULT: 5. A firm kiss

There was something about James Ironwood that drew Hazel to him. He wasn't sure what it was, if he was honest with himself. Maybe it was the way he carried himself, or the way that he supported the people who relied on him. Maybe it was the way he acted when he thought no one was looking. Maybe it was a combination of all of that.

But Hazel had never expected to find himself…..drawn to someone like him, that much was certain.

And yet, here they were, sitting across from one another, clearly not on a date, even though it had all the trappings of one. It wasn't the first time they'd done this, either, but it seemed that it still wasn't quite a date.

By now they'd both finished their beverages, and were headed out the door, strolling along until they came to a park, the way they'd done last time, too. They sat down on a bench next to one another, and before James could say anything, Hazel turned to him.

He didn't hesitate; he just lifted a hand to tilt James' chin up, and lowered his mouth to the other man's, giving him a firm kiss.

"In case you were still wondering," Hazel said when they finally broke apart. Hopefully that would help clear things up.

@caeloservare asked: James stares at Hazel and feels his knees go funny.

For the most part, Hazel was pretty used to people staring at him. He was tall, imposing, and he carried himself in a way that suggested he was very grounded. But when he saw who was staring at him this time, it was a very different feeling than usual. Most people just stared at him because he was a large man, but General James Ironwood was looking at him completely differently.

Hazel raised an eyebrow, meeting the other man's eyes. While Ironwood was not a small man, Hazel was definitely taller than he was, something that became more apparent the longer they stood next to one another.

"Somethin' I can help you with?" he asked, his voice low, almost a growl. Just because he was used to it didn't mean he liked being stared at.

@lacrimcrum asked: 💘💓 [From Lila to Hazel]

💘: Doesn’t really like them, but doesn’t flat-out hate them either. 💓: Is intimidated by them, but wants to be friends with them.

Honestly....., those are fair reactions.

💔 [From Tyrian to Hazel]

💔: Hates their guts.

That is something they can agree on.

💖 [From Neon Katt to Yang]

💖: Finds them aesthetically attractive.

"Hey, you're pretty cute, too!" Yang says with a little laugh. They might have initially got off on the wrong foot at the Vytal Festival (which was partly her fault, she knew; her temper got the better of her), but she definitely wanted to get to know her better.

@hxntresses asked: "... Hazel?" Emerald's voice is quiet, hesitant. He had sacrificed himself to let everyone else get away - hadn't he? So then... how was he here? Was her semblance tricking her own eyes, showing her ghosts? Or dare she believe that he had faced Salem and lived? "Is that... really you?"

Truth be told, Hazel wasn't entirely certain how he'd managed to survive, let alone escape Monstra. He'd known going in that he wouldn't survive, taking Salem out the way he'd been intending, and he had made his peace with that, if it meant that Emerald and the others would be able to escape. He knew full well that he'd only be able to buy them some time, that she'd come back, the way she always had…., but it had been time for him to do something right, something his sister could have been proud of.

But here he was, beaten, bloody, but still hanging on, somehow.

He managed a little smile for Emerald, painful as it was. "Yeah, it's me," he said, deep voice rough and clearly painful. Hazel was honestly barely in one peace, and it very much showed. "I'm not sure how, but it's me." And she had gotten out, had gotten away, which was what mattered. In the end, it was worth it to see Emerald alive and unhurt.

"Did the others make it out too?" He hoped they had, but if something else had happened….., then at least Emerald was okay.

@slaughtermachine asked: ❤️💛💚💜💖💗💞💝 All of that, from the Lieutenant to Adam

And also 💙💘 and maaaaaaaaaybe 💜 for Hazel

❤️: Wants or is in a romantic relationship with them. 💛: Loves them platonically. 💚: Is a little jealous of them. 💜: Finds them sexually attractive. 💖: Finds them aesthetically attractive. 💗: Finds them romantically attractive. 💞: Feels attracted to them, but can’t work out if it’s platonic, sexual, or romantic attraction they’re feeling. 💝: Looks up to them as a role model.

He'd known that what they had was important...., and it's reassuring to know that he's not the only one who thinks so. And having someone flat-out find him physically attractive is new and different and something he's not entirely sure he'll ever really be used to.

"I...," he starts, but Adam Taurus, who could usually find words for any situation, is at a loss. He reaches out to touch his lieutenant's face, blue eye meeting yellow, hoping he can convey his feelings through the soft touch instead.

💙: Feels pretty indifferent towards them. 💘: Doesn’t really like them, but doesn’t flat-out hate them either. 💜: Finds them sexually attractive.

Hazel isn't surprised by any of that, except maybe the last one. Still...., they're on mostly neutral ground at the moment, though that could certainly change.

Kiss roulette // Accepting

@deviousdoctor asked: to Hazel: 🎲

RESULT: 32. A kiss while someone watches

Hazel would be lying if he said that he'd been expecting to find someone like Arthur when he'd agreed to work for Salem. Mostly, he had agreed to work for her because she'd assured him that he'd be able to get vengeance on Ozpin…., and he knew that working against her was futile.

But he'd discovered that there were other people working for Salem, people he'd come to care about. Emerald was like the daughter he'd never had, and Arthur…., well, he wasn't 100% certain how Arthur felt about him, but he cared about the scientist very much.

There was definitely something between them, but if Arthur didn't come back from Atlas, they'd never be able to figure out what it was.

Tyrian skipped down the hall, letting out an unhinged laugh as he perched at the end of it, waiting for Arthur so they could make their way to Atlas, to fulfill their part of the plan. Hazel frowned, turning his attention back to Arthur.

"Be careful down there," he said, his voice a low rumble. He hesitated for a moment, then bent to press his lips to Arthur's, perhaps as a way to give him even more incentive to return, perhaps for good luck, but definitely to show the other man that he cared and genuinely wanted him to return.

@deviousdoctor​ to Hazel: 🧲

Send 🧲 for a list of what my muse finds attractive about yours // Accepting  

“Seems unprofessional to think that way about a coworker, but all right.”

He has a very nice voice.  Deep, soothing.  Incredibly pleasant to listen to.

Arthur’s one of the most intelligent people he’s ever met. 

He’s well built: slim and lithe, while still having enough muscle on him to not blow over at the first strong wind. 

His facial features are very handsome, not to mention that he has very pretty eyes. 

He’s also extremely capable; he can hold his own in a fight, along with the fact that he’s a genius with technology. 

Which means that he’s very good with his hands.
