♡: how does my muse act, consciously and/or subconsciously, around people they are romantically interested in? 

( answered for Syx already, so here’s Bell )

Bell tends to be over silly and swing between ridiculous nonsequiturs and total silence and blushing. When she doesn’t know what to say and freezes up, she draws or moves. A very common thing will be to draw on herself or the object of her interest (if allowed). Playacting is another way she finds the voice to express herself around someone she’s interested in. Quoting from romantic movies or songs to borrow words when she has none. 

ღ: how does my muse feel about displays of affection in public and/or in private?

Megs really doesn’t mind displays of affection. Public is fine as long as it stays PG-13. In private Megs finds it very endearing and sweet. 

💕: how does my muse express their feelings? do they do through small but meaningful gestures, or through bold declarations?

Both. I’ll use Anna as the best example with Syx. He shows her how much he loves her with tender touches and little tokens of affection and food… but then he will also spend several weeks perfecting a grand gift and then drag her up a hillside to give it to her just as the sun sets over the lake. He gets very excited about his plans and plots them out to precision even if his excitable nature can be his greatest foil. 

💌: how would my muse go about confessing to someone they liked? would they do it indirectly or directly, or maybe not at all?

It’s all through action up until he accidentally blurts it out not even realizing that was the word he’d been looking for.

“I love you… I love youI love you… oh… oh wow…”

💟: what are three traits that my muse looks for in a partner?

Patience. He knows he can be stubborn and overly focused, that he can get stuck on an idea… so he needs someone who can handle that and steer his focus back around or who is willing to wait until he comes back around. 

Acceptance. He’s not normal in many ways. Being blue is only part of it. He needs someone who can accept all of him as is, who he doesn’t have to force himself into a box to please. Who he can be himself around without judgment. 

Intelligence. Someone who he can have a conversation with, who can engage him. This doesn’t mean they need to be academically smart, just witty, clever, or otherwise engaging to talk to. The mind is the most attractive thing. 

Question aimed at Syx: ♡

♡: how does my muse act, consciously and/or subconsciously, around people they are romantically interested in?

He works very hard to gain their attention and hold their engagement. To impress them. Often this doesn’t mean actively trying to get them to notice him romantically… just to get them to notice him at all. 

He’ll make elaborate gifts to suit their tastes or interests or to solve a need they have. He’ll also just try to impress them with making something grand and cool. Examples being making a very special suit for Anna, little fish sculptures for Harrison, giant robots to show off to Metro Man and Roxanne, trying to impress with feets of clever ingenuity and making elaborate plans so that he can show the thing off in the best possible way. 

These behaviors actually continue past the ‘notice me’ stage. He’s very prone to large romantic plots and gifts.

Belle is all about BIG gestures and excitedly sharing with people. 

Because she struggles to have energy for general socialization when she does focus her attention of someone and share the things she loves with them, she is giving a huge portion of her energy into that interaction because being with them means so much to her. In making them gifts or drawing them into her special interests and working the things they care about into the interactions. So that they can both be excited and enthralled. 

Belle’s face can’t ever hide her emotions, though she flounders at using words to actually describe her emotions. She hides her face when embarrassed or nervous. She shouts when overly excited. When she feels very strongly about someone she tends to bounce and squirm and make a fool out of herself by laughing and doing something ridiculous to keep herself from freezing up. With her childhood friend, this was often drawing a mustache on her face or dancing around singing stupid songs. She struggles so much to verbalize her feelings into actual words. Too often she’d just freeze up or her mind would go blank.

Her love is also shown most deeply in the soft moment, where she feels so comfortable to sit quietly next to someone without makeup or pretense. Soft and vulnerable and maskless. 

(also I realize I answered this more generically for love in a broad sense of the word, but my poly girl is very open about love being on a spectrum from dear friend to lover)

Megs = Syx and Bell

💓: how does my muse feel about physical intimacy?

Physical intimacy is incredibly important to Megs. Sensuality and touch are an absolutely essential part of the bonding experience for them and if needed for any long lasting strong bond. At the same time, they are only comfortable with that level of closeness with people they trust. Quietly laying together and with soft touches and skin contact is something that is very designating of a deep emotional bond to them.

Roxanne had to at least admit as fluff pieces went, it could be worse. A local inventor was making headway into robotics with greater practical applications. The city was far more filled with such scientists now to the point that Metro City seemed to be on the verge of becoming thee place for innovation in the field. Buuuut Roxanne hadn’t managed to get an interview with the man himself, just his wife. She tried to burry that disappointment as she knocked on the door. A stay at home mom. What fun. Still, Roxanne was a professional, she put a bright, friendly smile on her face as the door opened.

💭 Your thoughts on our threads?

{{ ;P you mean any of the billion we have done or are doing? XD omg I don’t even know where to start. They are a slow burn mystery, slowly peeling off layers. It makes it so much rewarding to get to the end. Especially in regards to threads with Veda and the Grump. Az too though he seems more mysterious than he really is. Alien notwithstanding. }}
