How much stock does your muse put in first impressions? What is the best way to make a good first impression with your muse? 

(For Margot and Davy)

MARGOT.

Is your muse one to sit down with a new partner and formally define a relationship, or do they prefer to go with the flow and see what happens?

definitely needs defined parameters. such conversations aren't easy for her, and she knows this, but she's just as aware that they are necessary in order for her to like, function. she needs rules to follow and value given to variables so that she can schedule things, plan her next move, attempt to control her degree of emotional attachment, etc. (see this thread.)

How much stock does your muse put in first impressions? What is the best way to make a good first impression with your muse? 

margot, brilliant being that she is, thinks very quickly. being so good in chess tournaments requires this of her.

she does think before she acts. in rapid succession. so first impressions are based as much on conscious cognition as they are on subconscious perceptions that influence her attitude. she trusts her first assessment/judgment very much; she puts a lot of stock into her intuition.

anyway, things that will lead to a good first impression, which may serve, to us, to discredit that Very Sound Good Judgment: being attentive to her. caring what she has to say. allowing her room to grow. an interest in chess or mathematics. with women: stereotypically "feminine" traits. submissiveness. with men: not much! respect.

DAVY.

Is your muse one to sit down with a new partner and formally define a relationship, or do they prefer to go with the flow and see what happens?

absolutely. davy is big into setting boundaries and expectations, especially because he's prone to juggling multiple casual flings at a time. he wants everybody to be on the same page. this also helps him process things better—talking them out, etc.

How much stock does your muse put in first impressions? What is the best way to make a good first impression with your muse? 

davy, like his mother, is very forgiving and understanding. i dont think he would let a first impression get in the way of liking somebody—though he is very perceptive, and takes a lot in and makes a lot of judgments at a first interaction. he definitely wants to learn more about a person and assumes he will be proven wrong if he initially notes some small hint at a more malicious or unlikable nature.

that being said, once he's made his mind up that you suck, it's difficult for him to change it. there are certain things he finds repugnant that he won't change his view on, and if you tap into those traits unapologetically, he'll let you speak for yourself.

[ yearning ] ― what do they typically do to get people to have sex with them? do they let it happen naturally or are there things they like to do to turn their partners on?

(For Dafne, Davy and Pyotr)

[ no go ] ― what wouldn't they do? what turns them off?

DAFNE is a marvel because she's super slow to develop intimacy with literally anybody, but once she does, there's this part of her that really wants to do everything and explore whatever. so i think she wouldn't do a traditional one-night stand, and flirtation with that as the end game turns her off. but she is deep down curious about exploring stuff and wouldnt be turned off by a lot once she's in bed.

IMPORTANT EDIT: i was answering this primarily thinking about like, kinks and dynamics. i totally left out the fact that p-in-v sex is an immense turn-off for dafne.

DAVY on the other hand loves a one night stand so long as there's proper communication. i think too much forwardness and pushiness without properly communicated boundaries really irks him. being grabbed for a spontaneous kiss would probably alarm him in more situations than not. he enjoys being dominant and almost always tops, but he does not want to cause his partner harm or engage in scenarios where consent becomes dubious or even is roleplayed as dubious.

PYOTR has a very low sex drive and is very turned off by extremely sexual displays or attempts at flirtation. he's typically more dominant but gets turned off by a partner who seems uninterested or pillow princess-y; he wants sex to be a collaborative act.

[ yearning ] ― what do they typically do to get people to have sex with them? do they let it happen naturally or are there things they like to do to turn their partners on?

DAFNE is very beautiful but very shy. i also think that, in most scenarios, it makes sense for her to be the partner who makes the first move because she's really hard to get a read on otherwise. i can see her starting with neck kisses / ear kisses — something to indicate she wants More but is still very soft and sweet.

DAVY is very straightforward and explicit verbally. he tries to turn his partners on with dirty talk and asking permission to perform assertive behaviors, like a hand on the neck or jaw, or pushing someone against the wall.

(For Dafne, Margot, Davy and maybe another muse of your choice.)

DAFNE

dafne is not open about sex or sexuality at all. her romantic and sexual attractions are kept extremely private and restrained most of the time. she doesn't want phil intervening or having any sort of opinion on something she wants to just be for her. this leads to her hiding from other people, too, including her sisters and father—which does make sense also considering that her father would have grown up in a more conservative catholic household although the chavez family as it exists now is not particularly devoted to christianity due to dafne's grandmother summoning phil.

MARGOT

i would not be surprised if people talked about margot as a lesbian before she started dating chilton. how she dresses, how she imposes herself in a male dominated space—and, quite literally, her exclusively having a history with picking up women and not really feeling any attraction to her male peers or competitors. so she's open in that sense and is open about being bi because her relationship with chilton and tension with maximus are of public record

@hypocratic @eyeshone

DAVY

davy is very open about the fact that he sleeps with both men and women. he can come off as a little flamboyant or prissy despite his broader build, so people might make assumptions based on that. he defies stereotypes in other ways though, so he's not always easy to clock unless you see him flirting with someone besides a woman.

spun the wheel and got...STOLAS

stolas is fairly confused about his sexuality i think. it's complicated. he has a lot of feelings, and he's very horny. he's performative and theatrical which comes with people making certain assumptions about the limitations of his sexuality and its nature as a spectrum— and known for sleeping with blitzø—so like, there's that. im afraid to talk about my interpretation of stolas's sexuality because i'll probably go to fandom jail so im gonna pick someone else now

spun the wheel and got...ERIK

🤔 THINKING FACE — what are some of your oc's quirks/mannerisms?

(For Margot, Davy and/or Spirit)

MARGOT.

🍸 COCKTAIL GLASS — what is your oc's favorite alcoholic drink, if they can drink?

she rarely drinks. after getting with chilton, she's partial to good red wine.

🤔 THINKING FACE — what are some of your oc's quirks/mannerisms?

oral fixation - chewing on straws, occasionally biting her nails. chewing the inside of her cheek.

DAVY.

🍸 COCKTAIL GLASS — what is your oc's favorite alcoholic drink, if they can drink?

davy also drinks very rarely. however, he likes gin drinks—a well-made gin and tonic gets the job done.

🤔 THINKING FACE — what are some of your oc's quirks/mannerisms?

slow, measured speech. fidgety hands. resting his chin in his hands.

SPIRIT.

🍸 COCKTAIL GLASS — what is your oc's favorite alcoholic drink, if they can drink?

vodka straight.

🤔 THINKING FACE — what are some of your oc's quirks/mannerisms?

Y - Yes: Do they have any specific turn ons? Things that will automatically make your muse say yes to sleeping with someone else. If not what are some other things that get them in a more romantic mood? Lighting? Dinner? Z - Zones: Favorite places they like to be touched? Are some less obvious than others? Any places they absolutely hate being touched?

davy

davy sleeps around a lot, but i don't think there's one thing that makes him go, ok, this person is it for me. his sex drive is very high. he has a lot of different "types." i think enthusiasm—being the one being pursued? since usually he takes on a more dominant, assertive role and is straight up about what he wants, he'd appreciate someone else doing the same.

he can be romantic with his partners—does like cooking and being cooked for. i don't think romantic acts necessarily make him hornier though.

loves his abs/stomach/chest being touched. ass too probably. not huge on face/throat being touched. hair pulling is meh. calves is less obvious and fun. HATES!!! his feet being touched. wears socks during sex 100% of the time.

margot

winning matches turns her on more than she would like to admit, especially if the game has other stakes. (she doesnt love doing this though because she thinks it's disrespectful to The Beautiful Game).

being told what to do/instructed. watching someone take the time to be attentive and assertive and instructive.

more romantic in quiet, intimate places. would not be opposed to some mood lighting.

more primal/horny/chompy when...? i dont really know she just gets in these fuckin moods sometimes. winning/victory/pride/ego. when chilton acts like a little prey animal who needs to be pinned down and Consumed but he is always just acting like that.

i feel like the fact that she enjoys hair pulling (so...scalp???) is kind of counterintuitive but true. lovehates having her face/jaw touched. everything else is Fine—she'll either allow being generally touched or she'll be in a mood where she wont. but she knows she's got bodyodyody and who is she to deprive

wheel chose...darcy!

darcy's standards are somewhat high. she knows she is attractive, educated, and a good partner. but i think someone being really kind and attentive — good eye contact, listening cues, etc. would get to her fairly quickly because she spends so much time with the coeus men (and jacqueline).
