#Why are like 50% of my OCs canonically bad huggers...

[entomolog-t]

Which one of your characters gives the best hugs? And who gives the worst?

Sal and Rose would definitely give the best hugs out of my OC lineup. They are both two very physical individuals (who may be a little overly touchy), and aren't afraid to give that lil bit of a squeeze to a hug that just makes you feel cherished and safe.

Though Sal definitely loses points if you have the misfortune of being the same size of him for his general griminess- oddly enough, he's not overly stinky despite his infrequent bathing ... Sure he can get a bit ripe, but most times he smells like dirt, evergreen... and something fresh, tart and sweet.... almost lemony? maybe... citronella?

(This is a little bit of a spoiler if anyone can connect the dots)

In general- I'd say Mark, Tamius and Bram are all bad huggers for most interactions

Mark is shy and awkward, especially with physical contact.

Tamius isn't very physically affectionate with others, especially humans.

Bram - Well... Bram's hugs would feel uncanny. His exoskeleton makes it a hard surface, and not warm. Given his size and claws and extra limbs, he feels very insectoid/inhuman, but with the added weirdness of technically being able to hug just as a person would. Very "this feels wrong" overall with his hugs. Bonus- he's also a bit of an awkward hugger. Not nearly as bad as Mark or as reluctant as Tamius, but if its for consoling someone, or if he's forced to hug its extremely awkward/stiff.

Since I mentioned nearly all my oc, I'll toss in the 3 remaining ones-

Both Aedes and June are tender with hugs- the kind of people that just melt into a hug and linger just a moment longer...

Dawn I'm not too sure... She tries to hug Honey but Honey is a busy good girl with lots of things to do like bug the neighbors or figure out where the treats (or Bram) is hidden. TBD
