what does your muse think about the day? Are they favourable to it? Neutral? Anti?
โ โโโ To no one's surprise, Juvia loves love day. Expressing her love to those she holds affection for it a daily occurrence, but that doesn't mean she views Valentines day as any less special. There were times in her life she did not have anyone particularly close to share the day with, and seeing other couples and friends celebrate their love brought her a bit of peace. The day yearly reconfirms that true love, in many forms, exists. It is a very comforting thought.
Plus she enjoys any reason to make more chocolate.
if favourable, what would they do for their loved one? What would they hope for themselves?
เผ โโโ As a fantasy and romance reader, Valentines day is the closest thing to those grand gestures of love books always have. So, it is only natural that Rayne treat those in her close circle is a grand way. Unlike her sister, baking isn't her strong suit. Cooking, however, is. When she was a waitress the special courses were ones she always wanted to try. They were peak of a classy dinner (and knowing the prices, that was not an understatement). Emulating that experience is something she wants to do for her "Valentines".
For herself, she simply wants to be swept off her feet. However there are no current romantic targets for her to expect such a thing from.
have they had any memorable experiences with it? Good or bad?
โซ โโโ It is hard to pin point the exact feeling her experiences with the love day extracts from her. She supposed it brought her a bit of peace seeing her parents celebrate the holiday so intensely. When everyday was usually met with tension, it was a reminder that those two could still be happy. There is a bitterness to the realization though. The happy couple could only be such if they completely ignore the "problem" in their relationship, aka their daughter. So, Valentines day was one she spent in her room most years. Never wanting to get in the way and spoil the other's fun.
Now adays the girl tries to go out with friends and enjoy herself. Yet, she has a strong need to be alone as if she is still trying to not get in anyone's way. Instead of staying in her room, at least Olexa can be found at the city's park, playing her violin for those that would like to hear a love song.
has their family or childhood impacted their view of it?
โฐ โโโ Even after her father became the strict business man she grew up knowing, from what she could remember he had always treated her mother with nothing but care and love. The few years before Layla's passing, Love day was full of sweetness. She would not go as far as to call it an extravagant or luxury display of affection, but rather those early memories were filled with simple warmth.
When it became just the two of them part of her wished they could have spent the day together. Just as many other holidays, however, that quality time was lost on something else. A shame, but that disappointment didn't translate into how she sees Valentines. Rather Lucy chooses to hold on to the fragments of the softer days filled with love.
would anything cause their view or feelings to change?
โข โโโ There was a long period of time where the maker mage thought Valentines day was a fools holiday. There was no love in the environment she grew up in. A day for such a fickle feeling was something only weak people celebrated to comfort themselves. But then she left that place. And as Lilian started to experience the real world, it softened her view.
A lot can be credited to her guildmaster and the dog. If she is spending the day with them, even if they end up doing some ridiculous activity, it wouldn't be too bad.
how do they typically spend the day? Any special plans?
๐ฏ โโโ People watching. A hobby that can be boring on a normal day, but extraordinary on the day of love. Chico has to work regardless, so might as well pay attention to her costumers. There are usually four types: singles who who treat the day with some fun (like herself), bitter singles who hate the holiday, happy couples (not very entertaining), and couples who are on the last leg but trying not to act like it (the most interesting). It is fuel for her gossip sessions.
If she doesn't have a date in the evening, which tends to be the case most years, she will go home and curl up with a spicy book. Gotta have a little fun for herself.
