@ Embers - Lilith always becoming shy when being complimented by someone she admires - or fearful when hit by some foreign gonk. (there is a reason netrunning is her proficiency - the solitude attracts an introvert like her) She might have found her Black Ice in the physical world now though which makes it much easier to endure.

[on-a-lucky-tide]

I'm gonna say Nik for the character ask meme, but you've probably already gotten him so how about Laswell if you haven't already? Love your writing so much btw 🥰

Nikolai! You got in there first, bud.

favorite thing about them

His loyalty to Price. Has to be. This guy is so intelligent, has so many connections, he could literally be running a criminal Empire from a yacht with a laptop and a roll up, but he's scurrying after John Price and flying an old helo that he has to patch up and repair himself. He jumps dick first into the biggest clusterfucks for that man. It goes beyond sharing values and end goals.

least favorite thing about them

The fact that they use a song of a band currently fronted by Alex Terrible. I choose to believe Nikolai doesn't share any of those values. I'll leave it there.

favorite line

"I see you do not have situation under control."

"Engine is a little cranky."

"Hard to run with concussion, no?"

and the line that made me sit up and pay attention, "your favourite."

brOTP

Gaz & Nikolai 4eva.

OTP

Hmm. Tough one. (Ha.)

Nikolai/Price.

nOTP

Nikolai/any Chimera.

random headcanon

He's an army brat. His dad was high up. They moved around the satellite states a lot when he was young, which is where his keen mind began to absorb languages. He got into mechanics and engineering out of boredom. His dad caught him pulling a helicopter apart and sent him to the air force.

unpopular opinion

Nikolai is a gay man. Call it intuition.

song i associate with them

favorite picture of them

I'm letting my freak flag fly high right now otp with @vanillabean382 (said with strong cunt-try accent)

[moldingtundra]

why sk8rclown (pilby x infected) is OTP 💥💥

Sooo you read the title, so you know what this post is gonna be about!

P.S this is MY personal opinion and if you ship anything else that’s fine! But for the 0.5 percent of ppl who are here for the rare pair I present to you the ultimate explanation on why this ship works so so well

without further ado let’s discuss why the non-bi pan cattipillar and the emo chic dude form the 2010’s would totally kiss!

Ok first of all; what is their dynamic and why does it work so well?

well that actually depends on how you see them, but in general, I think their base dynamic is the scared and soft introvert x outgoing extrovert, as clearly seen by their dialogue and personality documented in the wiki, it’s clear that this dynamic seems to fit best.

It even shows in their limited interactions with one another, yes, I know there’s only technically 3 interactions so far (subject to change in the future) BUT even then you can clearly see the chemistry that bounces off.

This and the other dynamic being old fashioned x high tech of some sorts, example:

Infected: "I c4nT wA1t tO r41Se My Fi5HinG Stat5!! B)"

"Golly.. fishing.. stat?

"That sounds confusing.."

Infected: "Th4t5 My aw3sOM3 Vid30 g4mE!!"

Infected: "I'm TrY1nG to G3t a G0lD3n TenCH!!"

"All those video games and whatnot has got me so confused.."

On top of that, their mindset is actually quite parallel with each other; infected is stuck in the 2010’s, while Pilby is stuck in their old fashioned ways (idk what time era though help)

plus, infected seems like the type of guy to really have a deep care for the ones he loves, with words of affirmation and physical presents and whatnot, and pilby, being a guy with little self esteem and belittles themselves, while also showing comfort in reassuring words, would definitely either get flustered at infecteds compliments or crash like a windows explorers page and go💥💥💥 /hj plus, I’d like to think that he’d get pilby flowers (despite his allergy) just to please them and see them smile super brightly (although pilby would immediately stare in horror at infecteds puffed up face (allergies ammiright)/jjjj

And then there’s my interpretations, obviously this ain’t gonna apply for everyone but I personally believe that infected is the type to show the most affection and also be the caring type while pilby is the two stud tall guy who is a nervous wreck and shrivels at the mention of going out to a party, LOL, ok but no seriously soft caring extrovert and scared little rat dynamic save me save me dynamic.

alright lh, that’s all I have for this section, onto the next!

I think the reason why pilby x infected always stuck out to me is just the thought of it, like wow! A 2010s emo chick and a clown! Sounds like something random but trust me, it works, think of it like the emo and bright pink chic dynamic, just with a few tweaks.

this and also my interpretations of the characters (Alr explained in the previous section) it’s just such a unique take, and I’m a fucking sucker for unique ship types.

heck even their designs actually compliment each other, pilby is soft and round, and infected is bright and bold.

Anyways, more ramblings uhm, I feel like infected, despite being the caring one, would also be reckless, often time getting into scuffs, which worries pilby and brings out his more firm and true side, like a wife having to deal with their husbands shenanigans. I feel like because of that pilby can take the opportunity to show their more truer side, the side that’s not always sad and sighing about their mama, the side that is happy for the little things in life and always takes the time to admire the surroundings, something that infected takes for granted sometimes due to their hyperactive and fast nature, and that alone, would teach infected to slow down as well, to take in the scenery around him sometimes, the warm sun, the falling leaves, the chirps of the birds, flying high into the clouds, setting off on an adventure, it’s the little things that count the most.

and in return, pilby would learn that not everything is all rainy clouds, that they sometimes does need a few push’s outside of their comfort zone to enjoy a few things. Maybe a little skating wouldn’t hurt (or will, depends if pilby falls when infected let’s them go) or saying hi to split every once in a while can actually lead to some funny conversations and thereafter, thoughtful moments to cherish for years to come possibly.

it’s an effect, they rub off each other, they stuck together and learned new things about and for their life, even if it’s little or silly, it’s worth everything to them, and it’s worth it because they have each other. When pilby is with infected, there’s nothing to worry, and when infected is with pilby, he can relax for once and actually chill, seeing the comfort of being simplistic.

And I think that’s fucking beautiful, I think that’s what struck me hard for this ship, it’s so loving and touching ai feel like I could cry just writing this. It’s truly the deep realizations that make these types of silly posts worth writing.

anyways im Uhhhhh getting TOO autistic here.and I have limited time, BUT THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK ON WHY SK8RCLOWN IS MY OTP AND MAYBE WHY U SHOULD SHIP THEM IDK I JUST REALLY WANTED TO RAMBLE ABOUT THE YAOI DUO. Anyways uhhh bye ^_^

[soulcluster]

Ooh actually otps and notps for Rhys now that you've mentioned him

send "OTPs + nOTPs + [a muse name]" for me to list out my favourite pairings, and the pairings i am not interested in, for that muse

ahaha tbh he doesn't have much going for him in this category. I do like the idea of him with a heron or hawk laguz just because he's always wanted to fly and there's some symbolism to be had there, of the chronically ill beroc who's dreamed of freedom and finds love with someone who can take to the skies.

I also...I know him and Mia is actually a fandom favorite ship due to their supports, but I'd say it veers more into nOTP category for me. like maybe it'd work out in rp but just going off what I know, I don't like them. by the end of the support she's again pushing him to do more and not considering his health and it just doesn't sit right with me. mia feels too high energy for him imo

[cleverpaws]

rolan for the character thang ...!!!

yayyy!!!

how i feel abt this character: i lauve rolan so super much!!!! out of the three of them i think abt him the least but thats just bc im obsessed w kian and also rand as a character just hits a little too close to home (eldest siblings when there is an eldest sibling in media 🙁😦) but like. the fact that theres no way of saying who the "real" rolan is. it is also slightly frightening the degree to which i can relate being changed into a Literal entirely new person by a traumatic event /system 😔

all the people i ship romantically w this character: kian & rand (sometimes separately w just kian but mostly all 3 together) (im not much of a keeperschampion guy bc i think its just a little too obvious. yk)

my non-romantic OTP for this character: honestly tho speaking of keeperschampion. those two. as best friends they are also deeply tragic

my unpopular opinion abt this character: something my beloved mutual plantboiart pointed out to me so credit to them but guyssss guyssssssss he wasnt always (that) lameeeee he used to be cool w the other two and steal shit

and finally one thing i wish had happened to him in canon: i think we all know this one i wish his stupid gay bug ass lived 🙁🙁 fly high rolan deep u wouldve loved . the law

[ironunderstands]

tips for playing mercy (as someone who has played her way too much

some terminology:

first off I’m assuming that whoever is reading this plays on computer and has default controls, sorry consol players but that’s not my area of expertise (although I’m sure the general tips will still be useful)

I will be referring to guardian angle as GA (the ability that allows you to fly around; its shift on the keyboard), GA + spacebar as SS or slingshot, since it slingshots you in whatever direction you look in when you press space, and GA + crtl (or whatever your crouch button is) as SJ or super jump, because whenever you press ctrl after using GA you do, well a super jump. Valkyrie (Q ability the one that allows you to fly around like you are in creative mode in Minecraft) will just be referred to as Valk, and Ressurction (e ability that brings people back to life) will just be called Res, I will call mercies staff her staff and her gun her gun (or Barbie blaster if I am going to attempt to be funny)

onto the actual tips LMAO

-never stop moving, even if you think you are safe, you are not safe, you are never safe and unfortunately your enemies do have braincells and will notice where you stay, and will come after you

-that being said; you don’t have to use GA as soon as it comes off of cooldown, if you are in a safe position, stay there until it’s clear it will become unsafe, although move back and forth obviously (unless it’s one of those spots where you really can’t move, although I would recommend not staying there for long)

-high grounds are your best friend, mercy is one of the most mobile agents in the game, half of your enemies are going to seriously struggle to reach you

-with the height and position advantage, you can typically see more than your teammates do, I recommend calling out or at least pinging where enemies are if you think it’s important

-“use GA not as positioning but to position” -absolutely Queen of mercies Skeisti, as fun as spamming SJ is, it leaves you in the enemies line of sight and makes you easy to kill if they can aim, literally the only time I would recommend spamming SJs is if you are using them to glide on a roof out of the enemies sight, but even then treat the position as temporary

-DAMAGE BOOST, healing nothing is useless, if you can use blue beam, do use blue beam, and don’t wait for your beam target to be 100% on hp, if you are waiting to heal your team to full to damage boost, you will never damage boost, besides your other support is there for a reason

-HOWEVER, you can’t damage boost a corpse so if your beam target reaches critical health (they will have like a red plus sign on them and be yellow through walls) HEAL THEM especially if your other support is dead/unable to reach them and there are no health packs in the area, or methods of self healing are on cooldown/unreliable in the situation

-speaking of your other support, pay attention to their health bar, them being dead is bad for everyone so as soon as they hit critical you need to switch your attention to them, they can heal your other teammates in the meantime

-if your other support is getting dove, beam them; doesn’t matter if it’s one person, doesn’t matter if that person is almost dead, if your support dies from this their is a 90% chance the fight is lost

-stop trying to save teammates that are beyond saving, your Doomfist diving headfirst into a 1 v 5 with 100 hp and a dream a million miles away from you is a goner, unless you have Valk you have to accept that

-speaking of accepting things, accept when a fight is lost and run away, the only ones who tell you there is shame in running away are your enemies who want you dead

-memorize healthpack locations and GA/SS to them if you are in danger, trust me this has saved me so many times

-learn how to play other supports, even top 500 mercy OTPs can play other ones, if you are inflexible the enemies will break you

-you can move when you are Resing, don’t stand still

-try and res behind cover; learning how to Jump Res really helps with this and can let you pull off some reses you really couldn’t before

-if you are doubting you can do a Res than probably don’t do it, it’s better to stay alive then get yourself and your Res target killed again, it’s a 30 second cooldown after all

-you do have a substantial amount of time to res a dead person depending on their respawn timer, so if your enemies are distracted and you know your team is ok without you for a few seconds, going to res a soul in your enemies back line and flying back isn’t a bad idea

-don’t waste Valk, even in the highest ranks, killing a mercy who knows what they are doing in Valk is incredibly difficult, it’s your get out of jail free card and use it when you know you have to or at least when you know it will be beneficial

-in Valk you can see the enemies health bars so don’t be afraid to pistol someone if you know you can kill them

-however, try not to go for kills in Valk in comp, battle mercy is fun however it’s not very good, infinite ammo can’t save her low projectile speed and damage (it’s only 40 per headshot), and it’s incredibly hard to kill people from war away, and getting up in their face to aim easier puts you at risk, so don’t treat Valk like an Ilari ultimate, a support who’s ultimate is designed to do damage because Valk isn’t designed to do damage

-don’t be afraid to damage boost your tanks: a tank using their ultimate, roadhog and rein in close combat and/or roadhog using hook, Ramattra using his punches and a high power Zarya are just as good damage boost targets as your dps

-speaking of dps, some damage dealers are better to boost than others, typically I would pick the ones that don’t have to go in and dive, as diving puts you in danger

There’s way more I could say, however there’s better and smarter mercy mains on YouTube so I recommend watching their stuff (like the aforementioned Skeisti and Elyzhau). Have fun mercying, and I hope this was moderately helpful

[dangermousie]

So, I started my rewatch proper and it's just as deliciously melo OTT as I remember. I am ffing through all of FL's struggles and achievements in showbiz because I only care about the fucked up romance(s), so it's flying by.

Here is Ou Chen, having nightmares about a girl whose face he does not remember. Heeeee.

Just your usual, normal back story. Also, a man who is not the fixating type at all...

Bwahahahaha! You know, if this wasn't a soapy romance, this would make a hell of a horror story. Because this is a man whose basic beliefs about facts of life/people around him have been manipulated on a basic level not once but twice. His assistant is gaslighting him like there is a sale on the term. The best part is, when he hired fake parents which fucked up the kid ML into feral trauma and codependent clinginess of heela monster, did he learn anything? Nope. He decided to go for mark two and hired a girlfriend and faked photos and yearbooks and random witnesses. In RL, a person who had that done to them repeatedly is never gonna trust anyone. I mean, Ou Chen is a freakshow and a half, but he is 10x more normal than a person under his circs should be. (Side note - this story, like HYD, would make so much more sense and be so much more appropriate in a period setting. I mean, you can imagine him as some neglected royal prince and his assistant as a "caring" eunuch etc etc.)

Young man, I have such good news for you! Your choice of woman is gonna satisfy those cravings tenfold.

Ou Chen is SUCH a psycho. I love it.

He is doing it because he remembers doing it as a kid (it was his and OTP's meet cute ahahahaha) and wants to test if she's the same woman.

This is the most blunt break up I've ever seen and I am cracking up. I do love that there is no crazy secondary girl after this guy in the drama, mainly because if there was one, he'd just probably dispose of her body in the woods.

The flashback to high school days is glorious, because for once, it's not "psycho loves pure girl who suffers nobly and/or redeems him with her pureness." Nah, Xiao Mo, Ou Chen's one and only, is in every way as much of a psycho as he is. She's tough and spiky as hell and with a ton of issues of her own and difficult and frighteningly self sufficient (there is a reason that none of her various love tribulations ever dented her; only thing that did was the death of her brother.)

I mean, look at her with Luo Xi, the quasi-step, her other suitor and gorgeous gorgeous young Huang Xiaoming.

Bwahahahaha, our obsessive sees her on a street corner singing, has no idea who she is but is drawn like mad!

Young man, you are pickling your liver at 10am!

This is amazing!!! This is everything. Masochist has found his heaven again.

You can see the assistant going "oh fuck NOT AGAIN!"

PS I love that he's a big businessman but his outfit is idol stripper businessman cosplay.

[shirefantasies]

Ahh your lotr hcs are so good!!!

I personally adore giving all elves cat like habits😚

Like Legolas following around a fly that's buzzing around, sitting almost completely still before snatching it

and IF you somehow manage to sneak up on one and scare them they will JUMP SO HIGH

“Also another question for you :3 What are your favorite character ships? Like could be canon or the craziest ship ever to exist?”

Happy you enjoyed my hcs 😌 Ok that is HILARIOUS and tbh with his reflexes probably canon if he so chose. In comes Gimli sputtering like HOW AND WHY DID YOU DO THAT …also I totally could do that >:( *cue Gimli trying to catch a fly for an hour before Aragorn walks in and just silently cocks his head at him*

Hmmmm well when it comes to shipping within LoTR at least I’m pretty happy with canon, like Aragorn and Arwen’s relationship is gorgeous, Sam and Rosie’s is adorable and meant to be and so on… but the way they snuck Pippin and Diamond into the movie 😂 only seconds and yet it’s one of my favorite moments in the movies! I’m glad Tolkien notes that Merry and Pippin wed someday because imagining the two of them in their off-screen relationships is so much fun to me! 😆 I have been tempted to write fic about it too even if it means giving up a fictional crush for it 🥺 (mostly /j 😂) Also, FARAMIR AND EOWYN?!?!?! THE SHIP?!?!?!?! The unbridled joy I felt watching ROTK extended for the first time is something I wish I could experience again. They are so cute. Probably my actual Middle-Earth OTP closely fighting with Sam and Rosie hehe

I understand where people are coming from with Sam and Frodo, but I also love healthy, non-toxic masculine friendships portrayed so I personally don’t romantically ship them, but I also support the ship and completely understand and enjoy it if that makes sense! It makes sense and has a depth that some ships people just throw together don’t. Hot take: the Thorin/Thranduil ship is one of those. I call them “Attractive People Argue Once”💀😂 no hate, I just really like ships with a connection that actually feels romantic and plausible I guess, not just calling two good looking people with radical opposition having “hot tension” 😅😆

(Please no hate to any HEALTHY, non-incest or toxic ships or characters anywhere on this post, that was just an opinion of mine about a ship but everyone have fun! I take wayyyyy more issue, i.e. any actual issue at all, with the people I’ve seen reblogging and sharing DURINCEST on here and that I take an active stance against because duh.)

[gregoftom]

I don't know if you've watched it but if you ever did need something else that has tomgreg vibes…I would thrust Suits upon you. the quality is gonna be a dip from succession, but. marvey. mike and harvey. they.

it's the semi-reluctant but love-stupid mentorship. it's one of them kind of being a fuck-up (and getting high) and the other being high-flying, from the bottom to the top, teaching them how to be rich.

it's the teasing. it's mike trying to get harvey to admit he cares about him -- and as the seasons go on, harvey's care for him worn on every single one of his sleeves, can't contain it. it's the way their humour just clicks and they enjoy each other so much.

it's the heated "good boy" (in the second fucking episode!!!!). the way harvey gets such secret pleasure after mike teasingly telling him "aye aye, captain".

it's the devotion. "he goes, I go." "I'm not giving them you." it's the way whenever mike's love life with a woman progresses harvey's immediate response is lashing out in frustration, and by the end of the episodes he's collected himself to be happy for mike's happiness, because caring about mike is his number 1 above all else. it's the possessivenessss. it's harvey not knowing a single other associate's name, other than "mike ross."

it's harvey imagining mike in drag??? it's the Looks between them. it's their surprise when they're witness to how much the other cares about them. it's them existing in each other's space. it's the outright fucking flirting. it's the heartache.

it's other characters calling them on their shit ("you boys have a nice date?" and harvey, defensive, like why is that funny "couldn't be better. he even paid") (and "I need to know if the prom king and his boy wonder are still an item […] Did Mike and Harvey break up break up, or did they take a time-out and, like, say to each other, 'hey, let's see other people'"). it's "my date just got here" as mike enters.

it's mike turning up to harvey's parent's funeral and being the one person harvey most needed to have there for him.

it's the puppy motif!!!! and calling him with fucking hand gestures!!

it's harvey not even wanting an associate and then being like This One so fast. it's the way they push each other. it's the actor and his wife shipping them! it's "the one person who has the right to treat me like his associate, but treats me like his partner anyway."

it's it's it's.

they're like, otp of all time, imprinted on my heart. and I think why tomgreg is attacking me so badly is because there are a Lot of similarities in the dynamic it's soooooo. anyway I miss them. and any tomgreggers might like em.

(also I adore all your talk about tomgreg, and chewing through all the show has given us. it's not ooc at all and it's so fun and it's such a nice community enjoying itself and you're providing joy and connection and it's great. that anon's just having a sad day and lashing out. have a good one, love you for being here <3)

oh my god?! THAT SOUNDS AMAZING and soooo tg core omfg i NEED to check that out, holy shit. i just read the summary too and!!! omg. omg. YES

and!! thank you so much! that's great to hear, i'm so glad! <333 love to hear it, and i love being here too! <3333

[away-ward]

Listen:

Will - Peter Pan (the boy who struggled to grow up)

Emory - Wendy Darling (the guarded girl who was forced to grow up too fast)

Mischa & Rory - the lost boys

Blackchurch - dark Neverland

Their song:

https://youtu.be/5tTwFC7Nlks

There was a time when I was alone

Nowhere to go and no place to call home

My only friend was the man in the Moon

And even, sometimes, he would go away, too

Then one night, as I closed my eyes

I saw a shadow flying high

He came to me with the sweetest smile

Told me he wanted to talk for a while

He said, "Peter Pan, that's what they call me

I promise that you'll never be lonely"

(Like this is so Emory and Will)

...

He sprinkled me in pixie dust and told me to believe

Believe in him and believe in me

Together, we will fly away in a cloud of green

To your beautiful destiny

As we soared above the town that never loved me

I realized I finally had a family

Soon enough, we reached Neverland

Peacefully, my feet hit the sand

And ever since that day

I am a Lost Boy from Neverland

Usually hanging out with Peter Pan

And when we're bored, we play in the woods

Always on the run from Captain Hook

"Run, run, Lost Boy", they say to me

"Away from all of reality"

Neverland is home to Lost Boys like me

And Lost Boys like me are free

Neverland is home to Lost Boys like me

And Lost Boys like me are free

(Emory learning to believe in Will and finding her true family with the lost boys after years of hurt)

Ahh! Ruth B's Lost Boys was one of my favorites a few years ago, but I haven't heard it in a while. That was so nice to revisit! And I actually hadn't thought of it in terms of willemmy but it does work so well.

I was always a little surprised by how much Peter Pan was brought up in Nightfall. The quote at the beginning and the dialogue, for example. I think it's because none of the other books had such strong inspiration from other works. At least none that I saw...I mean, there's the religious references which can be ignored because they're not so obvious (if there were and it just went over my head, please let me know). But the Peter Pan inspo with here is so obvious, I wondered at the shift.

But I liked it! I haven't ever been able to finish Peter Pan, but I like the story and was happy to see something that pulled from it.

Thanks for the song and picture!! I my otps in everything too...

And thank you for the message ❤️❤️❤️

[gabbylyons]

ALL of your otps with no. 20 please!

20. Choose one song that perfectly describes their relationship

I love this ask because i love making playlists for basically everything.

Syaosaku - this one is easier because the animes gave us the soundtrack for their relationship. For ccs, it's either catch you catch me or ki ni naru aitsu (have i ever said that i live for ccs soundtrack?) and for trc it's you are my love or loop. If you want me to give songs that arent from the animes, maybe it's you by jolina magdangal and hunting high and low by a-ha always make me think about them. <3

Touyuki - there's fanvids with brazilian songs on my favorite tiktok account with "eu amo você" and "você" by tim maia and "talking to the moon" by bruno mars and "fly me to the moon" by frank Sinatra are a must.

Douwata - reason by fonogenico, which is actually from the anime, "evidências" by chitãozinho e xororó. denial is their thing lmao. also "umbrella" by rihanna and wherever you will go by the calling describes perfectly doumeki's feelings when the one he loves is sleeping away from his fingers and he wants to do anything to protect him.

Fuukam - EASY. the most song of all times made especially for them, careless whisper by George Michael. Also, Battlefield by jordin sparks.

Seisub - Solid gold by masahiro takashima. YouTube comments have the translation and it's..them. it's them and also, every breath you take by the police.

Thoschei - this one is not a clamp fandom, it's from doctor who but it's my original otp. with them, it's the scientist by coldplay, every you every me by placebo, and here with me by the killers.

[void-botanist]

Cady & Declan OTP asks 3/6

From this question list.

There are 60 questions, so I'm doing this in 10-question chunks.

Nicea taglist: @kahvilahuhut @kingkendrick7

Who would get into a fight to defend the other's honor? Who tends to the other's wounds? In most situations, Cady. Even before the disappearance Declan was fond of being unperceived and not causing friction, so he would be the tender of wounds. However if the honor-sullier is one of the people who are permitted to perceive him, he will get into an argument with them.

What reminds each of their partner? Aside from everything, especially when they're forced to be apart, Declan has a leather jacket that Cady gave him that he literally hasn't been able to wear since Cady disappeared because it reminds him of Cady too much. He also keeps a diary and whenever he writes a word similar to the less common words that appeared on their wedding invitations (which he voluntarily wrote by hand) he thinks of Cady. Cady always thinks of Declan when he encounters someone in a henley shirt, because that's most of what Declan wears, and also frequently when he encounters heart-shaped things, solely because of his silly old shirt with the heart-shaped titty window that Declan would put on by accident.

Who's more likely to convince the other to stay in bed come morning? Who's more likely to ask, and therefore win at convincing the other? Cady. Who ALWAYS wins when he asks? Declan.

Who's more likely to give the other a massage? Neither of them is very good at it, but Declan is more likely to attempt it.

Do they have any hobbies they share? Taking walks and hikes, doing the word puzzles in the newspaper (they're literally doing them at the same time and arguing about it), reading comic books (broadly defined), watching movies. Cady also has managed to get Declan into bikes (like actual bicycles, not hoverbikes) at least a little bit.

What are their vices? A couple that come to mind are: Declan is allergic to asking for help from pretty much anyone, but especially his mother-in-law (not for much of a reason besides "it's embarrassing"). Cady is perpetually determined to solve problems his own way (a similar vice, but not the same, because he's more than happy to involve other people in solving things his way).

Who is the lightweight that needs to be taken care of after a party? Historically, Cady wasn't quite a lightweight, but definitely more likely to drink more than he really should. Declan was also never that interested in parties where the main goals were drinking, dancing, and messing around, so he would almost definitely be the one doing the taking care of. Now Declan simply does not drink, so if Cady were around he would always be the lightweight.

What are their thoughts on pet names? Do they have any? Declan doesn't really care about them, so he doesn't bother. Cady is always trying out new ones but they usually don't stick, the main exception being "Mister Ruse".

Who is more likely to jump in an elevator? Who freaks out? Cady would jump in an elevator, but he learned as a kid that that makes the elevator stop, and when he tried it out as an adult he got stuck in one for three hours. But even if that didn't happen Declan wouldn't be happy about it.

Your OTP gets to pick out each other's outfits; what is each wearing? Cady is wearing his old browline glasses and a white ringer t-shirt under green shortalls with a lil frog patch poking out of the chest pocket. (Declan is dying it's so cute.) Declan is wearing a cream henley with all the buttons undone, tucked into the high-waisted button-fly jeans Declan got rid of after Cady disappeared, under the aforementioned black leather jacket. His hair is trimmed around his ears so you can see all his piercings, and he has on the same brown leather ankle boots he's been wearing for over a decade.
