Omg Kat!!! I remember when you did like music/movie/porn preferences for each of the akotsk characters, so what about the same ones (music taste, movie taste, porn preferences) for tt!aerion, gdgw!valarr, Bobby, BB and twin BB šššš
I love any and all crumbs you can spare please!!! š„°š
tt!aerion
music: the guns n' roses cassette permanently jammed in the deck (he claims it's stuck; he's never once tried to remove it), nirvana, alice in chains, deftones when he's in a mood. one (1) chris isaak "wicked game" situation he will turn off the second you look at him. will call your playlist "girl music" and then you'll catch half of it playing in the car three weeks later. stop gaping, the radio did it, apparently.
movies: terminator 2, mad max: fury road, the first fast and furious (defended unironically, to the death). you made him watch oldboy once "as a joke" and he didn't speak for the rest of the night and brought it up unprompted a month later. that's his letterboxd. four stars, no review.
porn: amateur only, hates anything overproduced with a burning passion, jokes it makes "his dick shrivel". watches: rough homemade POV, hate-fuck energy, backseat/motel/parking lot, hair-pulling, choking, spitting, tears and ruined mascara lover, over-the-jeans and torn-off, 69ing, girls who mouth off and get put in their place for it. there's class-inflection running through he whole thing. polished content reminds him he's the trash he thinks he is, so he needs it ugly and real to believe someone would actually want it. the meaner it looks, the more he can convince himself he's wanted despite everything. post-you, barely opens it. search history from before is just descriptions of you and what you have together now, and he'd die before explaining that.
gdgw!valarr
music: chopin nocturnes and max richter while working. leonard cohen and radiohead for everything else. taste that looks effortless and is actually maintained like a garden. one private playlist of songs that remind him of you, ordered chronologically by memory attached to each. matarys found it once and was silenced with a look that could stop a heart.
movies: pride & prejudice (2005) watched "critically" while holding your hand the entire runtime. in the mood for love, which he considers the greatest film ever made and will explain why at length if permitted (it's the restraint still because valarr things). atonement, once, never again, would not discuss it after.
porn: functionally retired. what he watched historically: boyfriend-POV with an established girlfriend, breeding-focused, creampie compilations, "put it in me" begging, deep-POV, coming-home-to-find-you scenarios, library/office where being caught is the point, hickey/body worship-heavy. and (buried in the archive, a few clips he'd never explain) glimpses of femdom-adjacent content. gentle hand in his hair. "look at me." praise from her mouth. he watched them and closed them and didn't quite know why. the current under everything was never you are mine, it was want me. choose me. keep me. the possession was a defence; the breeding kink was a way to make being wanted permanent, undeniable. those glimpses were the seed and he didn't have language for them yet. then you arrived and cracked him open, and now the seed has a name.
bobby
music: springsteen (born to run is a personality trait), ccr, tom petty, fleetwood mac when he's feeling adventurous. same six albums since he was sixteen, all objectively perfect, will defend with sources (the sources are basically vibes). sings in the car, badly, loudly, totally unashamed.
movies: field of dreams (annual scheduled crying event, blames "allergies" he doesn't have), rocky i & ii, caddyshack quoted three seconds before every line, die hard every december as a matter of principle. comfort rewatcher supreme honestly. the fortieth viewing is the point actually.
porn: filmmaker's eye, so naturally, he watches with taste. appreciates a well-lit set, a real POV, a shot held at a good angle. watches: amateur couples ("we tried this for the first time" is basically his whole genre), FFM/MMF threesomes out of curiosity not ego, mirror POV, praise-heavy content, pool/gym/cheerleader stuff, face-riding, cowgirl (he genuinely loves being ridden š„°). has almost certainly shot his own with you, warmly lit, one take, nothing you didn't sign off on. enthusiasm is essentially his whole thing, but with sexy-possessive teeth underneath. he's the guy who cheerfully shares his sandwich and will also absolutely growl mine while you're on top of him. loves praise both ways and runs his mouth constantly because that's how he's with you naturally. dirty talk turned up to the maximum, running commentary, telling you exactly what he's going to do before he does it. no ego on the switching, all of it lit like he framed the shot himself. because he did.
bb
music: he doesn't listen to music so much as he collects sounds. your humming, a random stream he liked, birdsong in the meadow, the exact rhythm of your footsteps. the one song you played while teaching him to dance and he has memorised to perfection. taste in music, essentially: you.
movies: consumed them as research. baffled by most of them, bewitched by even more of them. loves edward scissorhands and will not explain why. went completely still during ghost and asked to stop it before the end.
porn: watched it only a few times thanks to bobby insisting "its a right of passage". wanting a stranger doesn't compute to him. if pushed toward anything he'd tolerate: long, unedited single-takes, whispered instructions, first-time nervousness, ASMR-adjacent audio, slow undressing where nothing else happens for ten minutes, edging clips that go on forever. and, once, hunter/prey. he clicked it by accident and did not close it. he learned the difference between wanting and taking the hard way, and now the discipline of asking is the erotics. sensory-fixated to the point of obsession: scent, sound, breath changing, the weight of you. would keep you on the edge for hours because the wanting itself is what he's after. but the hunter/prey clip? that one had him locked in. he recognised himself in it. the vast old shape of what he actually is.
twin!bb
music: type o negative, portishead, radiohead's sadder half, cigarettes after sex played low at 2am. where bobby got the dad rock, bb got everything slower and darker. headphones in more often than not; sharing an earbud with you is functionally a love confession since he's incredibly private about everything he likes.
movies: actually watches them. lights off, full attention, because that's how he does everything, including looking at you. black swan, nocturnal animals, secretary (make of that what you will), hereditary and insidious watched without flinching while bobby yelled from behind a pillow. has quietly watched every film you've ever mentioned liking. mentioned none of it.
porn: started out inexperienced, closed off about the whole thing and his desires. early watches were narrow and for a specific purpose: intense male-POV shots that emulated being wanted, first-person from beneath, girls looking directly at the camera. all of it about intensity and being seen, none of it about sex itself. the kinky stuff (voyeur POV, hidden-cam, unedited amateur through a doorway, CNC with real aftercare built in, dom POV where she earns every single thing, orgasm denial compilations, overstimulation, breath-play, hand-over-mouth, made-to-count-them-out) came later, filed under "research." before you, he needed to see what wanting someone even looked like, wanted to feel wanted through the camera because no one had ever bothered to want him for real. knows what you want before you've said it because he's been paying attention the whole time.

anon out here doing the real journalism. very well. deeply important question, deserves a serious answer.
tt!aerion: boxers. old ones. waistband sitting above jeans that hang criminally low, and yes, he knows. owns maybe four pairs total and at least one has a hole in it.
modern!aerion: boxer briefs. stupid expensive. multiple colours. will parade around the apartment in nothing else and then act personally victimised when you don't immediately abandon whatever you're doing to admire him.
valarr: briefs. black. fitted. immaculate. obviously. everything about that man is contained until it very much isn't.
bobby: boxers, plain, bought in a multipack like a normal human man. refreshing. that said, this is also the man whoād try a g-string or just go commando without blinking when heās in one of his slutty moods. the multipack is for weekdays, not weekends.
bb: trick question. bb wears whatever he decided bobby would wear when he built the shape. so boxers, technically, but if you asked him why he'd have to think about it for a genuinely concerning amount of time š
Have you thought about what kind of movies Mechanic would be into? I think a person's favourite film is such a good insight into their personality and I'd love to hear any thoughts you had about her and movies!
Honestly would love to hear about movies YOUR version of Mechanic would love (since it's likely I forgot something real obvious), but, let me break it down into her personal faves from my personal pov, stuff she watches with Eddie, Billy and the Party + Steve:
personal faves:
Alien (1979): Her favourite movie. Blue-collar workers in space, evil corporation, near indestructible creature with rules. She rewinds the air vents and airlock stuff, muttering under her breath about pressure, atmosphere, life support systems. Ripley is her icon and inspiration (and she was one of my biggest inspiration for Mechanic overall, too.)
The Thing (1982): isolation, paranoia, no one in charge who actually knows anything, and the monster is just what happens when you throw people into a broken system. She loves the blood test scene like other girls love rom-com speeches.
The Andromeda Strain (1971): It's slow as hell to most people, but sheās dialled in. Scientists, contamination protocols, mechanical failures. She loves how clinical it is. One of those movies she would defend to death when others say it sucks.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977): Not her favourite Spielberg, but she canāt stop thinking about patterns and signals and how no one listens to the guy whoās actually seeing the truth.
The Parallax View (1974) and The Conversation (1974): If Clarke or Hopper ever feed her these, she goes very quiet and then adds three new pages to the āthings the government will absolutely do to youā side of the notebook lol.
WarGames (1983): the computer, the simulation, the āthe only winning move is not to playā energy? Yeah. She thinks about that a lot. Especially once battle against Henry becomes a thing.
Some other understated faves: Jaws (1975) she knows all the shots by heart. Creature with a simple rule, town that refuses to listen. Very Hawkins. Star Wars (1977) & The Empire Strikes Back (1980) not her core identity like it is for some of the boys, but she respects the ships, the trench run. Empire is the one she actually likes. Rocky (1976) on very specific nights only. Not for the sports (though it becomes more relevant after Billy comes into her life), but for the grind. The ākeep getting upā narrative hits a sore spot.
stuff she watches with eddie:
The Evil Dead (1981): she rants about how unsafe the cabin is, then absolutely gets sucked into the demon logic.
Poltergeist (1982): Suburban nightmare plus weird physics? Sheās taking mental notes as we speak.
Videodrome (1983): way too weird for most people, but sheās fascinated and a little unsettled. āLong live the new fleshā hits a part of her she wonāt talk about.
Gremlins (1984): she 100% pretends itās āstupidā the whole time but loves the rules, the escalation, the way one bad instruction spawns a disaster. Also, tiny chaotic murder creatures? She can relate.
stuff she watches with billy:
Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981): It's brutal, and all about fuel and machines and how long you can keep something running in hell. Sheās into the improvisation and the car work. Her and Billy have hours long discussions about how they would survive in this world.
The Terminator (1984): Time travel logic, unstoppable machine, woman being hunted because of what sheāll "build" do one day? Mechanicās like, āWow, canāt relate at all.ā and then rewinds the tech bits.
Escape from New York (1981): Underrated in her opinion, anti-hero with a death clock, broken city, tech strapped together out of garbage. Feels like her.
stuff she watches with the party + steve:
The Breakfast Club (February 1985): She initially pretends to hate it, but absolutely does not. She relates way too hard to the ābasket caseā and the pressure cooker feeling of being trapped in one building with everyoneās expectations pressing in. Overtime becomes her second favourite of all time, right below Alien.
Ghostbusters (1984): she talks mad shit about their āscienceā, but thereās a 100% chance she sits up straighter during the proton pack bits and wonders how youād actually build one.
Back to the Future (July 1985): I love to imagine them all hitting the theatres after the Starcourt bs and just being young and carefree for an afternoon.
Sheāll never admit it, but a dumb, warm movie with the group where nobody dies and nothing from another dimension eats anyone isā¦ nice. Once in a while.
