IM ANSWERING THESE SO SLOWLY,,,, But Im honestly going to cue the rest, since it'll make it daily posting even when I don't,,,,
♥ (19) How highly does your OC value love (platonic, romantic, or otherwise)?
This one is going to be fun for a lot of my ocs, so I might answer with quite a few
Absynth : Doesn't feel love for many people, but he highly values platonic relationships, especially with the other creator gods [+ Flip, but NOT jakk]. He rarely feels romantic feelings, so when he DOES feel them, he values them, but not highly bc he has a fear of commitment. Familial wise, he doesn't feel familial feelings at all, nor does he even have real family. Queer Platonic relationships r king to him- he loves those and values them greatly.
Jakk : Loveless for everyone except Flip, and even it's more a familial kinship with attachment and trust. He values his relationship with Flip above all else, and isn't particularly interested in any relationship asides from sexual stuff, which is usually one night stands. Has a extreme disdain for romantic relationships, though he has felt romantic attraction in the past.
Flip : HIGHLY values friends, familial, romantic, and queer platonic relationships. He views them almost on an equal level, but he has a strong love for his wife and his brother/literal other half. Generally isn't the most outwardly honest about his high value for his loved ones, but it's obvious in how he behaves and acts.
Emoc : Oh god...... he values love with his friends a little too much. He's a ride or die for his friends most importantly, but he's also extremely protective. He does get deeply preoccupied with his love for his friends- Best example is with his best friend, Samuel. He would do anything for him. Literally anything, minus a few things that go against the morals he has. He wishes rlly bad that he had a family, but Rodger's the closest thing he's got.
Samuel : He values familial relationships higher than all others, save for his close, and best, friends. Samuel has a lot of chosen family members [Noah, Charles and Rodger notably], but he also deeply loves his friends. He values all other forms of love over anything romantics- He does feel romantic feelings, but he views partnership as more of a transaction than anything 'real' if that makes sense.
Charles : He REALLY, REALLY values his loved ones, but doesn't particularly care about perceived "outsiders". Charles does think more highly of platonic relationships more than anything, but he does have a chosen father, being Rodger. He values him pretty highly too. Has a fear of romantic connections, but I think he would think the same of those relationships.
Rodger : Values all love equally, and holds his loved ones very near and dear to him. He is a family man in every sense of the phrase, but he is also fiercely loyal to his friends. He seemingly has a flock of chosen kids [Emoc, Charles, and Samuel particularly]. Rodger has always wanted children [more than his son, Kaz], so he really doesn't mind having a good handful of people seeing him as a father. It's actually really endearing to him, and he values those chosen kids like his own.
Zander : I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE HIM BUT I GOTTA INCLUDE HIM........ He is almost entirely loveless, besides his husband [who he has known since he was four years old], and his little brother [who he practically raised]. It's really, really hard to get him to care or love someone other than those two. He is capable of it, don't get it twisted, but it's literally only ever happened once, and it did not end well. He only values his relationships with his husband and his brother, but doesn't otherwise value any other form of relationships.
Johnny : ZANDER'S HUSBAND, whom I adore. He values all love highly, but he has a special love for his husband. There's few things he wouldn't do for the man he's known for multiple decades. He has a lot of friends and he loves all of them very much. HOWEVER... Johnny does move on quick when it comes to losing friends, which doesn't happen often, but it has. If Zander left him, which he lowkey does in canon, he would be so fucking devastated.
Alec : ZANDER'S LITTLE BROTHER. Really values all relationships and love, but he's picky with who he chooses to love. There's an aspect of deciding whether or not someone is deserving of his love, but after everything he's been thru, he decides most people don't. Alec believes in a baseline, collective love for other people, going out of his way to help others, but that's more just the kindness in him spilling out. He loves his brother, but he thinks he has major issues. Like go to therapy immediately issues. Alec sees his brother as a father figure, but he would be the first to admit he's a terrible role model.
Donny : I have not talked about him yet, but he is another one of my beloveds. He's skrunkly. He values love highly, especially family [chosen or blood]. Donny is just a hard peanut to crack into. He's generally cold- not necessarily out of anything other than being mentally exhausted about 25/8. He really loves his identical sister, Rosa, because they've been together their whole life, but in canon they're kind of not in contact. Trying to find each other, but not there yet.
