Some more OC asks for Tom: 1, 2, 6, 8, 14, 22 Hopefully at least a few will be entertaining to answer. :P
(yes I’m still answering a small backlog of these <.<)
Thanks, Ambad. :D I left out a repeated one.
1. Do they sleep with a stuffed animal? If they have multiple, who’s the favorite?
Back home, Tom still has his one plushie from his childhood: a red dragon, of course. He still loves it, and on the rare occasion that he’s particularly depressed he might bring it to bed with him because he’s a dork like that. But not generally, no. Especially considering there’s usually, ah, different company already in the bed with him, if you get the drift. That little dragon has seen some things from on top of his little chest.
2. Can they take care of a plant? What about a pet? What about a child?
Maybe, but it’d be better if it was a hardy plant, because he’ll undoubtedly get distracted one day to the next and it might not always get watered. Pet? Definitely, especially if Ghost counts; not that most animals like him at all - they tend to get skittish and sometimes defensive around him. A child? He definitely could (despite common belief). He can be responsible when he has to be, he just prefers when that isn’t the case. Even if he would be an absolutely horrible influence.
6. Who will they take advice from, no matter what it is? Who won’t they take advice from, no matter what it is?
There is not a soul on the planet Tom will actually listen to in every single situation, no matter what they say - except his own. But the first person he’d go to for advice these days would be Caiden (that does not by any means imply he will actually listen); in Illikon, it’d be Fletcher.
Who won’t he take advice from? That’s a very long list, but Scaevius is on it.
8. Do complex puzzles intrigue or frustrate them?
Intrigue. Tom loves puzzles; he enjoys the hell out of them, plus he’s very good at them, even showing an almost uncharacteristic amount of patience with figuring them out (not that it usually takes him all that long). Even more so if it lets him show off.
Once in a while, if he can’t figure one out as quickly as he’d like and someone is watching, only then will he abruptly want to smash it.
22. Do they like being called pet names? Do they call other people pet names? What’s their go-to?
Depends on the pet name and who is doing the calling, but Tom is used to it in general. He has lots of nicknames, pet names and otherwise. Does he call other people pet names? Absolutely, all the time.
