I fear now we need all of the men navigating NNN. My beloved man Cyrus would see no problem with the challenge and would probably call it dumb

Cyrus is victorious by default. His low libido makes it no challenge, after all. Though, he absolutely is not actively participating. He finds the concept dumb and sees no reason to indulge it. He just wins because he does not ever really seek sex unless it's to appease his partner or to cope with horribly strong emotions. Basically, as long as you don't demand sex nor does anything make emotions run high, he's winning without trying.

Grimsley is dying but trying his absolute damnedest. The gambler has the highest libido of the group and is the resident manwhore (before settling down with his partner… who now has to deal with his sexual appetite). Despite this, however, he loves a challenge. If you offer a bet to him about making it through November like this, he will agree. The price you pay will likely be something insane. He is surprisingly resolute about it all. He has trained himself to hide his emotions, after all. Teasing him seems ineffective. Though, he can and may break. In truth, it is a battle of his love of gambling versus sex.

Colress agrees. Why? Well, for one, he believes he can do just fine without sex. But, also, because this is valuable data! How will your bond with one another change due to the lack of sex? How will you react? How will he feel? He has read plenty of studies on the supposed benefits, but he is eager to see if they truly are to occur. Basically, November becomes a personal study for him. Be ready to he observed (as usual).

Nanu grumbles and says no. He is not having his schedule and sexual proclivity dictated by some internet meme. He is too damn old for that. If you want to go in on it, be his guest. He has handled his own needs before, and he can handle them now. Will not participate and cannot be convinced.

Lear is bewildered, but it is a challenge. He scoffs and says that seems easy enough. A month without sex or masturbation? Nothing in comparison to his training to be king. Behold his kingly restraint! (He breaks down halfway in and demands that you stop, too. He is about to snap.)

N doesn't know what you're talking about. He just blinks. Going without nuts for a month? He supposes that some people with nut allergies deal with this for a lifetime, so a month should not be impossible. Do not try to explain further. It is not worth it. He can win by default, too, since he's not inclined towards sex. He mostly meets his partner's needs in that department.

Volo squints his eyes at you. Why are you proposing this to him? He feels as if you are messing with him. Even if you try to explain, there is little to do to convince him. Wager the Azure Flute or something, and he might agree. His willpower is quite terrifying solely towards Arceus. Otherwise, he is not giving up sex for some frivolous challenge. Even pulling the Arceus's Chosen card fails.

Maxie ponders what the hell you are talking about and agrees because you make some comment about Archie being able to do it. Of course, he can go a month without that! He is a man of science and restraint. He suffers endlessly, and his temper is flaring. Magma grunts will beg you to call off whatever you did to their boss. He gives up nearly at the end.

Archie is going to refuse since he doesn't really see how that could be fun or anything beneficial to him. It is only when you mention Maxie apparently being able to do it that he agrees. He surprisingly makes it through the entire month. His mood is barely effected. Maxie is mortified when he hears the news.

Giovanni thinks you're insane, laughs at you, and says no. Then, when you mention it being a display of his strength, he reconsiders. Suddenly, he devotes his entire focus to such a thing and proving you wrong. He will make it through by becoming extremely pissy and by the skin of his teeth. His prize is locking you away for a day and making up for the lost month.

Lysandre supposes he has heard of something like that before. Yet, strangely, nothing can convince him to participate. It simply cannot be done. He says it is a waste of time and energy. (In truth, he simply cannot deny himself pleasure and uses sex as a way to express his love.)

Ingo in tears after you have to receive (1) suture on an injury. You would think he was the injured party, in fact.

Cyrus grimacing about the failure of the human condition in response to that. (He is secretly very concerned.)

Emmet comments on the aesthetic of the injury before realising he shouldn't do that. (He thinks it looks neat. He is not happy about an accident. He is verrrry unhappy about that.)

Grimsley comments about a similar experience for himself. Alcohol and glass are not a good mixture.

Lear is panicking that something has happened to you even if it was minor. Royal decree for no more injuries. Ever.

Lear gets Louie III’ded

Aside from Girmsley, which of the Dads would "spoil" their children to avoid getting in trouble with the Reader?

Forgot to pick up that important thing (and maybe even their kid); they'll stop for ice cream on way back. That sort of thing.

Nanu might try with Ohi'a, but Ohi'a isn't really the type to tell his other parent, unlike Nero. He is pretty apathetic and understanding... Like his dad. They are quite similar, naturally. ("Here, kid, don't tell them I was late... Yeah, I was taking a nap.")

Volo definitely has to do it with Astrea. Poor little girl is constantly being gifted things to make sure you do not find out about his mess up. He is trying his best at this whole father thing, but he is not the type to be one. Astrea at least enjoys all the little trinkets and treats she gets. ("Here is three sweets. Do not tell them about how I failed to show up on time. Your father was busy researching something.")

Colress also attempts it... He gets so lost in his research that he forgets that he was supposed to pick Prisma up from school. He promises her that he will help her with whatever she wants in her schoolwork or let her use any piece of his lab equipment for her own research if she doesn't tell you. She sighs and relents. He is at least genuinely apologetic. ("... Prisma. I do apologise... You must understand how important my research is— Ah, wait! No, it's not more important than you! Don't cry!")

It is rare, but Emmet has his moments. Emma is easily lulled into complacency with a promise to buy her whatever sweet she wants, but Inka is not so easily swayed. She probably will tell you just because she's frustrated with Emmet. He feels so betrayed. ("Aaaa! Papa is verrrry sorry! He simply had too much work and got distracted! I'll buy you whatever sweet you want! Don't cry!")

... New addition, but Lear. He is always so busy with this and that. Running an island and possibly running a kingdom gives him barely little free time – Which is why he may forget obligations to his children. And make him panic. Both his son and daughter are promised and given far too many expensive things as an apology and attempt not to tell you. ("... Tch. I'm truly sorry. My work ended up running over. I did intend to watch your show... Hey, hey! Don't get upset...! Ah... I'll buy you something! What do you want? Tell your father at once and I'll buy it!")

Larry also has to. He promises his children a meal at whatever restaurant they want in exchange for not telling you. Both agree. His love of food was inherited, and both kinda get their dad is under endless pressure at work. ("Sorry. My boss ended up holding me for some overtime... I really didn't intend to be so late. Ah? You're not mad... I see... Well, let's go to dinner. It isn't nice to keep anyone waiting.")

Cyrus and Ingo never have to do this. They are far too attentive as parents lmao.

Lear's eye textures...

[leggerefiore]

Hoopa just sits on his head. He just allows it.

[leggerefiore]

So, the villa location in the lodge is Lear's home, right? Meaning you can just go on dates/hang outs with other people at his house.

He probably gets so jealous if you do that, though...

[leggerefiore]

i'm neutral on the lear posting but all that short king mentioning made me think, what if s/o alerts him with "My short statured liege, please refrain from going out of your abode! I just saw a Braviary flying outside" (reference to that one tweet that always cracks me up)

Vlog: Why my boyfriend deported me from his island. (Picture of Pasio with Lear in a red circle and Braviary above him as thumbnail.)

Hoopa Lear just gives you one of his rings as a wedding ring. He gets flustered if you about wearing a piece of him technically.

Zekrom Ingo offers one of his scales implanted into a ring as his way of proposing... As well as Reshiram Emmet offering two of his feathers as earrings as his version. (And Kyurem Emin simply doing both of theirs as his own.)

Giratina Volo offers a ring up with a piece of his Griseous Core implanted into it as his offering for marriage. (It's actually so he can be in origin form when you take him into the normal world.) (The other members of the creation do it, too, naturally.)

What is this running theme

[leggerefiore]

Hoopa Lear is still a manlet naturally, so when he has to interact with Kyurem Emin/the dragon twins (since they're king(s) of Unova), he like is pissy because he is towered over. And also since they love their human mate so much and think he is being extremely unfair about humans on Pasio. (Ingo especially does not like his treatment of them... Idealism and all.)

Then, when he shows up with his human partner after a while, Emmet starts mocking him for all the mean things he had said about his mate.

[leggerefiore]

Don't apologize for Lear posting. We love a short king

We love him so much.

"Sorry for the Lear posting lmao"

I will only forgive you if you start Hoopa posting too. I want to spoil the ring gremlin with cuddles and watch Lear perform Put That Thing Back Where It Came From Or So Help Me

Hoopa just wants to play and be loved. It also would enjoy that it could tease to Lear by hugging and playing with his partner. Or even just warping them away when he tries to have a moment with them. Hoopa is being chased down by one irate (and loveless) prince.

It does love both them and Lear, though. The pokemon is so happy Lear found love and more happiness. It will thus protect it.
