3, 7, 12 for the system ask game? :3
3. Which headmates were enemies at first & now best friends &/or a couple?
• A few contenders here, but we think the best examples are Ren & Strade (Boyfriend to Death) or Jimmy & Curly (Mouthwashing).
They had to work through a LOT of shit, mostly Jimmy beating himself up until he learned what taking responsibility actually meant. He & partner system's Anya are even on good terms.
These two had an easier time reconciling as they had a love interest or two in common & Ren wasn't letting Strade near ANY of them until he knew the big lug wasn't going to try anything he shouldn't. Luckily his partners are... very receptive to the requests he has within said boundaries.
7. Which headmates have the most unique music taste?
• Big Al (source: The Hollows books by Kim Harrison) probably wins this as he's basically either listening to Panic! at the Disco, primarily the Death of a Bachelor album, or classical music. While many of us ENJOY classical music, it's too calming & tends to put us to sleep. He's the only one who gets actively engaged with it.
His tastes HAVE broadened since then, in part thanks to his partner shown in the right image, but he's still pretty set in his ways regardless.
12. What headmate was the biggest surprise?
• Oh, this one's an easy tie between Al, Gerry & most recently Travis Phelps from Sally Face & Berdly from Deltarune. Al because, much like the author we found out from attending a virtual reading, he tended to vacillate between being our least favorite & favorite character. ....Mainly the former for a long time.
He initially formed while we were still trying to hold onto our last relationship, proceeded to absolutely fuck with that & then turned himself around to keep us safe & alive when we were homeless & alone.
Gerry is... complicated. He's 98% introjected from a specific artist's iteration of him in TMA alongside a specific fic, but the latter is in part because he shares aspects of an ex's Gerry. We know we can't control any of that but he still tends to feel guilty about existing & avoid fronting unless Mahtin, Michael or another partner needs him.
Travis is less complicated & more funny. Our now-dormant ex-Host was also named Travis & frankly was a BPD nightmare shoved into a literal Chihuahua body. His upbringing had a lot of parallels to Phelps & since we discovered the game shortly after our old Travis went dormant we had kind of a visceral revulsion towards him. Then Sal moved here from SelfLove & turns out he'd been holding out a candle for thr internalized homophobe for years. Apparently Phelps showed up months ago & has been hiding in Sal's room most of the time.

...We still don't know why the fuck Berdley is here. He sure isn't saying.
