but i can accept yingxing and hakuno if you happened to run into them in the wild out there LOL

ehe

Ratio 10. 12?? 15
SHARK 18. is it even POSSIBLE. 4. 20...
Yingxing: also 18. Can the arrogance be thwarted. 24. 2.
Hakuno: 1. 16. 17??

that's alot GOMEN JSHFKS

THIS IS OKAY HAHAH

jingles my way over to plurk desktop because i am a clown

ratio, 22

my beloved jester. the gladiator

WAIT I MISSED 13 THIS WHOLE TIME??? YINGXING....you think HCQ shared/traded clothes

shoving too big coats at little Yuan Yuan the baby is cold

(who shoves them at the High Elder who is ACTUALLY COLD)

Medli45: so for ratio
10. much to his dismay, he is ticklish but only on his neck and back of his neck. you'd think it would be more thanks to how EXPOSED HIS SIDES AND CHEST ARE, but no it's his neck which he keeps locked tight under that gold brooch and collar of his. and his under his hair so Guarded somewhat lol.

but despite his dismay and touch aversion, he by no mean hates the sensation. he can laugh and express, of course he can >:T. just know he will be retaliating with his chalk stylus being nonlethally jabbed between ribs, Heh.

12. he's more of an academic but he does enjoy physical activity with others since it promotes good health and he loves maintaining a healthy routine anyways so might as well incite others to. even with a spar. he can't promise any combat readiness since he's by no means a fighter, but he's happy to learn and happy to share his own techniques.

i like hc'ing that wrestling is popular at home for him because of his grecoroman coded design, so he probably wrestles and debates/lectures at the same time given the nature of those public debate areas also serving as prime time wrestling arenas HAHA. sorry he's a yapper still

CLASS WITH PHYSICAL ACTIVITY THO I think it can be effective

teach me the physics of being smacked into the ground

15. oh ratio loves this a lot much to people's surprise. he's fastidious, but he loosens up a lot when he's taking care of himself or on the rare occasion taking care of others and can forgive a clumsy hand during a time of unwinding and getting ready, you can always fix a simple mistake before final submissions (going out) after all. no rush. take your time

snakesnakewhale: 22. HIS IDEAL DATE. honestly, he just appreciates a Well Thought Out Date Plan. it doesn't matter where you go or even if you go out, he finds time and thought to be precious and priceless commodities, so as long as effort and consideration was offered, he's not going to be too strict about it.

in fact, he might ask for those plans himself afterwards to comment on and give suggestions for Next Time. WHAT A NIGHTMARE IN FACT, HE WILL SINCERELY GRADE YOU ON YOUR DATE PLANS HELP.

i swear he's thinks he's being helpful LOL

veritas

no

I'M SOBBING, HE MIGHT EVEN BE EXCITED FOR NEXT TIME TOO BUT THIS IS NOT HOW YOU EXPRESS THIS,,,

at least do the corrections in pink instead of red...

"noted for future corrections"

Medli45: shark!
18. i think it's possible (unsure myself LOL) but for one, believing she would never hurt anyone would throw her in for a loop. since she's no stranger to her own tendencies. sure she protects, but she also brutalizes. it's no surprise that she keeps others at arm's length while she defends them. so breaching that gap before she does is New!

as well as being able to address BOTH laurentina and specter at once sincerely would surprise her. after awakening to herself, she's very used to One or The Other kind of conversation which is a shame since she loves specter, that part of herself, so much.

so leveling with her in that regard in conversation will honestly show a) how you know her well enough to have seen both laurentina and specter at some point and b) you know how much love she has reserved strictly for specter and accept that.

tldr, loving specter in her Entirety would surprise and fluster her a lot LOL. shark loving hours fr

4. she is a messy sleeper. she tosses and turns and in part it's due to her chronic spinal pain making it impossible to sleep in one position for long if there's a lack of stabilization. so watch out for some flying limbs lol.

despite that unruliness, she's a light sleeper (hunter's training probably), and still aware enough to never turn her back to a person. she doesn't want to be boorish and show them such a frightening sight of those scars at any point in the night or in the morning

20. sharing meals with her is an uncanny experience haha. she has a stronger appetite than most, so no dainty sights here, only a 5'5" shark lady putting away an entire banquet like it's nothing.

gluttony and the desire for the finer things in life go hand in hand for her, so she fluctuates between savoring a meal in solemn silence (specter) or waxing poetry and constructive criticism about it (laur) LOL

her cooking skills are...edible. she's a huntress on the move, so she's HAD to learn to to cook to avoid eating rations all the time, but it's really rudimentary, so frankly she'd LOVE to help someone else cook and learn along the way to cook better meals for others and more importantly, herself later!

c_avnas: 4 for shark please. my beloved shark

oh I see it

we gotchu with the important shark questions

Sharks must keep moving even in sleep HAHAHA

You think if Laurentina cuddled you you'd be in trouble huh....rough sea puppy

I want to tag the shark with the vampire

please imagine them in the same room as each other

Medli45: yingxing
18. this showboater (deragatory, affectionate).Gift Giving! he's usually the one handing out gifts of his group, so he's always blindsided when it's reversed. he might get a little fussy, but that's purely out of embarrassment that he's been caught so off guard. later on, he's seen at the forge creating his next masterpiece...

24. the fastest way to endear yourself to yingxing is to give him a challenge really. he loves rising and breaking expectations. he is a genius who delivers more often than not and hates backing down from not only a mechanical challenge testing his skills as an artisan, but Any Challenge, no matter how stupid.

to him, the pressure and attention are something he craves since he grew up having none or little expected of him as a short lived species to make anything out of his life so give him something to chase after and he'll give chase for sure.

that might be why he and dan feng were such close friends to begin with haha. the high elder's favor is so hard to gain, so why shouldn't he aim for it with all his being?

2. big spoon. gotta use that blacksmith's physique for something and it's for hugs and being the big spoon in cuddle piles fr. xianzhou's reserved culture be damned. he's grown out of the habit of curling in on himself as a kid under the covers so now he can be someone else's cover and shield this time around ehe

17. he doesn't say it back. rather he shows it with all his actions, his skills, and his attitude. just saying i love you back isn't enough. he has to be an unforgettable experience to someone, and he has to make sure they don't regret uttering such affection to someone like him who might not be around for long given his occupational hazards and lifespan.

13. he absolutely loaned out his clothes to people and had his clothes stolen by the HCQ and family lol. he has to shed some layers when he's by the furnace anyways so coming back to see his coat gone is nothing new. in fact, he is liable to start chucking clothes and stuff at people now that he's an old man who has to worry about chills and fevers HAHA.

Medli45: YEAH SHARK SKIN, ROUGH,,,

have to hold her the right way

Morgana9971: buddies,,, they would be fantastic together,,, just think of the damages HAHA

Preceptor: what ha got there
Dan Feng, doing a quiet rebellion: a coat
Receptor: it's covered in soot it's a disgrace
Dan Feng: and cozy

OH WOOPS I THOUGHT 17 WAS YX BUT IT WAS FOR HAKUNO HAHA, OKAY YOU GET A FREEBIE

woe short lived species declaration of love be upon ye

dan feng in fact gets exclusive rights to his clothes at some point when jing yuan gets too tall and big for yx's clothes HAHAH

yx copes with that realization that the pipsqueak outgrew him by bundling df up even cozier

Medli45: hakuno!
1. hakuno is a cuddle bug. she clings to people in her sleep absolutely. she's built a habit of clinging to people in her sleep thanks to her bond with her servants reminding her she's never quite alone ever in SERAPH, so she simulates it by Never Letting Someone Go ever once she's got them in her grasps

16. she loves giving gifts more than she does receiving them. she'll never turn down a gift, not looking a gift horse in the mouth nuh uh, but she does hate sorting and organizing them after because they're all important... she wants them all on display... she tends to return gifts with ones of her own no matter how clumsy she may be with her hands.

17. hakuno says it back with all her heart and sincerity. she has been given so much, has sacrificed so much, to get to have the right to exist and live this far to not say them back when spoken to. and they're not empty words. she will go above and beyond what people expect of her for love.

Ouuugh Hakuno babyyy

She loves sm....wah

And JSJFJJD BABY GROWN UP YX BUNDLING UP THE HIGH ELDER

hakuno will go through space time for love do not test her,,,,

AND YEAH YEAH THE HIGH ELDER IS BURIED IN WARM TOASTY CLOTHES NOW HAHA

another HC i have, bailu loves taking yx's coat when he's not looking because she both loves and is a little sad at seeing how fast he grew up

WAH....big sister....

Hakuno the power of love and friendship is STRONG IN THIS ONE

Also jsjjdjf the preceptor can't find the high elder. He's buried in a nest of friend clothes and blankets. It's winter

I MEANT BAIHENG ME BUT ALRIGHT

BAILU TO BAIHENG PIPELINE OUT HERE TO KILL ME

thinks about the "when did you get so tall that i can't pet your head anymore?" "then i will kneel for you" comic so hard

i'm gonna sob

WAAAAH I KNEW WHAT YOU MEANT SOBS

weapons Smith gets so BIG....hard to reach....

blade getting the urge to kneel and crouch down to bailu's height and he doesn't remember why, it just feels right, and he moved before he realized it

WEEPING SOBBING THROWING UP

Makes it easier for Bailu to check for head wounds

19 for Laurentia, cause i've seen a LOT of headcanons around this one

Morgana9971: shark!
19. God where do i start. she flirts by accident, she flirts intentionally but it's no different from how she flirts without knowing so does it matter whether she means it or not??? (it does but not to laurentina) she flirts by complimenting through via their aesthetics choices, interests, their tastes (hunger = lust crossed wires man)

the language is very much drawing a metaphor and connection to her appetite and hunger for the other person

So alot of "eat you up" comments jsjjfjcjd

absolutely

Excellent

Dan Heng stuck on a beach: I should flop away

HECK EVEN FEDI WAS A LITTLE NERVOUS AROUND THAT

HAHAHA dan heng has so much to worry about sorry not sorry bre <3 (sitting on the finished tag)

TOOK HIM A BIT

FEDI HAS GOOD SURVIVAL INSTINCTS FR

GOOD I LOVE DISTRESSING MY BOY HAHAHA

Fedi does. And now he's rising to the challenge....

and so is laurentina!!!!

learning <3

THEY ARE it's cute....

23 and 24 for ratio!!

23 for Laurentia as well

bloodbornekart: ratio!
23. what he finds attractive is ambition probably. he strives to cultivate people's drives and passions. when someone owns their ambitions wholeheartedly with full awareness without his coaxing, without his tutelage is the moment they break out of the philosophical role of mentorship he has locked himself to with most of the universe

and finds an equal instead of a student which honestly is probably a hard wall to topple since he always thinks there's room for improvement. ambition alone isn't enough for his admittedly high standards for people he considers peers and evidently, attractive to him.

he demands more from people and anyone who can deliver and even hand it back to him will get him to not only turn his head but shift his gaze into a fonder look.

24. the fastest way to endear him to you would probably be to just act as if he were any normal dude tbh? yes he has every right to act like he has a huge ego because his long list of achievements all for the benefit of humanity backs him up, but that shouldn't stop anyone from engaging or even disagreeing with him should they find merit to.

especially if they can intellectually compel him to entertain certain notions. pandering to his ego is in fact a trap card that no one should take if they wish to build a connection with him unless they know his exact intentions, reminding him how it is not just ratio who scrutinizes others with a critical eye but others exercise that ability on him too.

as for how he endears himself to others, he really doesn't for the most part. he's a famous people displeaser after all. he says he won't change for others, but sometimes in rare occasions, he does show his favor by essentially taking the backseat and being passive to other's intentions. after scrutinizing them heavily of course!

Morgana9971: shark!
23. laurentina's metric for attraction is difficult lol. she finds people from all wakes of life, all sorts of places beautiful because life's vivaciousness bursts forth from every person.

but really, anyone who can either: inspire her as her muse, appreciate art in a similar manner as she does, or someone with hope and a tenacity for life and humanity are attractive qualities to her.

attraction questions really make me think since tbh, i have no delineations between what people find attractive and what they find vital in any person they encounter haha

like laurentina does believe anyone can live perfectly normal and valid lives without possessing the quality to inspire her, critically analyze art with her, or living for survival's sake rather than for surviving to live just as ratio believes people can live without a strong ambition in their lives even if it's suboptimal to him

but having them makes them express a curiosity and keen interest that can theoretically develop lol

c_avnas: re: endearing himself to others. He's adorable. Wdym. thinks of him scrutinizing Aven like a huffy cat before allowing a temperature check jhsdkfhlksd

ALL RATIO FANS WANT ONE THING!!!! AND ITS TO MAKE RATIO AS ADORABLE AS HE HIDES FROM PEOPLE IN CANON AND MAKE EVERYONE SEE IT!!!

HE CANNOT HIDE THE CUTE

Canvas misses their wife

ratio is so cute i love he

i miss my wife (dr veritas ratio), tails

you're muses are so powerful

I love them
