Strange Things Linger Here

[[ Don’t look at him he’s in Love and Very Shy ]]

♡: How does my muse act, consciously and/or subconsciously, around people they are romantically interested in?[Answering this for Sebastian!]While normally a rather reserved person, Sebastian becomes much more open and relaxed around someone that he is romantically interested in. He’ll be more comfortable talking with them and being around them as much as he can.Sebastian is very observant and attentive, and this can be used to his advantage when wanting to find ways to show he cares. A good example being:  Remembering what your favourite fruit is, and making a dessert using it.He’s a generous soul, and will find ways to give gifts to show his affection. It wouldn’t just be flowers or chocolates either. He’d take great care to give the person something he knows would be of interest or significance to them. (If he does give someone flowers, he definitely considered Victorian flower language to choose the perfect bouquet) In a weird opposition to this however, he can become incredibly shy on a turn of a dime. More specifically, if the person he’s smitten by shows any form of interest in return. Or if he suddenly finds himself overthinking, and worrying that he’s being ‘too much.’So it can oftentimes be confusing to a potential love interest when the gent will be doting one moment, then hiding away in the next. 

Sebastian: If there was one person Sebastian would like to visit, it would be his mother. He never got to know her, and he isn’t sure whether he’d necessarily tell her who he is? He’d offer to help her with whatever she was doing, just to get the chance to experience one day with her. To finally get to see the person his father and sister told him so much about and loved so dearly. Either that, or he’d want to see those he knows he had left behind after his death. He’d tell them he was sorry for all the grief he feels he cannot stop from happening. In the past he’d be even more of a shadow. A warning. Marble Man: He’d visit the one friend he didn’t get the chance to see before they died. He had meant to, he always meant to go back and see them one last time. But time is a funny fickle thing, you think you have enough of it until you don’t. Smythe: He wouldn’t go back to visit a specific person. There weren’t many people that Smythe felt any level of sentimentality towards. The exception perhaps being the tailor who made him his first good suit, or meeting the original owner of the pub where he first enjoyed jellied eel and mushy peas..If anything, Smythe is more likely to go back to those hallowed halls of various Universities and yell at the professors there about how Wrong they are. Mainly about medicine in particular. 

I hope you do not mind me answering for Fritz’s question first because that is just, the cutest thing ever.Fritz loves to eat very soft foods because she’s still rather wary about opening her mouth too wide (she is still practicing being able to control her vocal abilities). Her favourites are jello and fruit smoothies (strawberry being #1). She also really likes milkshakes too as a treat, particularly ‘birthday cake’ and ‘cookies n’ cream’ flavours. Now, on to the question of being in love:Out of all the characters here, the two that I know for certain have been in love are Smythe and Sebastian. Smythe specifically has been in various relationships but he wouldn’t describe them as him being in love. Those relationships came and went (sometimes blowing up at the end very dramatically). In fact he hasn’t felt truly in love until very recently, and he is still trying to process it. What he knows for certain, is that he doesn’t want to let it go. Sebastian is still struggling with remembering everything from when he was alive. He’d like to think that if he had been in love, he’d remember that clear as day. So he feels he cannot answer this question ‘honestly.’ He’s a romantic at heart but when he does develop feelings for someone he often struggles at how to express it. He too has recently come to the realization that he might be in love..He thinks it’s terrible timing, all things considered, but his heart just can’t stop aching. Other characters that have had strong bonds and relationships in their past (though not necessarily romantic) are Marble Man and George. George in particular is not looking for romance, he’s just here to make friends and have a good time. Marble Man, I will say, has lost in one way or another three extremely important people in his life. They are ones that he still thinks about frequently, even after years - in some cases centuries, have past since they had gone.
