9, 20, and 35 for eldwin and vivruh
Thank you! Ask game here I love getting to talk about my favourite and worst people <3
[9] What is their love language?
Eldwin: For giving, acts of service! He won't say he cares, but he'll do things for you without a word. Receiving, it's words of affirmation or quality time. The idea of someone just... wanting to be with him, without them getting anything from it?? Just spending... normal time together?? Genuinely just enjoying his company?? Sounds fake but okay
Vivruh: Giving, it's physical touch and gift giving. For receiving it's just physical touch. Maybe some words of affirmation.
[20] When they’re sad or upset, do they need company or some time alone?
Eldwin: Depends. Right now, he needs company; he might not want it, but he needs it because otherwise he's a disaster. Even in recovery, there are times when he just cannot be alone, even if he wants to. However, alone with his cat, Aconite... that would be the ideal lol. It does vary for him
Vivruh: Company, 100%. If he doesn't know the concept of personal space normally, he's very clingy when he's sad.
[35] Do they like their own appearance, and what do they do, if anything, to alter it in any way?
Eldwin: Ehh. Sort of. I think it's complicated. He kind of does, he takes pride in his appearance, he likes to look good. He thinks he's reasonably pretty (pretty being the word - he's not quite the conventional beauty standard for human men in Aenora, more of a pretty-boy type) but nothing outstanding (he does really like his eyes though. And his hair. He has gorgeous fluffy hair.)
But, with creepy people constantly talking about how pretty he is, he grows to be uncomfortable in his skin not because he thinks he's ugly, but because he seems to be drawing in a lot of unwanted attention. (it has little to do with his appearance, but. he doesn't know that. Plus gender dysphoria may play a role.
Then on the flipside, he's told his face his pretty but his body, all his scars, are ugly. So. Mixed signals much? (fun fact, he'd be perfectly attractive to elves, if he had long hair. His small frame is normal to them, they don't scar easily so find them intriguing; but they greatly value long hair lol)
Would he change it? No. He thinks it plays a part in his SA, but does not think changing his appearance would stop it altogether. And he does like his appearance; it's just other people making him uncomfortable.
Okay the one thing he might change is his height. He's only 5'4 - which is around average height for human women, with human men being around 5'10 on average. So, dysphoric yes, but he's also surrounded by a lot of cis men taller than him and boy do they let him know it. He actually wears heels -two inches normally (with the exception of missions when he wears boots more suitable) up to four inches at fancy events.
Vivruh: Yes. He's gorgeous, and he knows it. He wouldn't change anything. Actually if he lived among the elves, he might wish he were shorter, as he's taller than most (he is half human) but he doesn't, he lives with the humans. So.
(As a kid he sometimes used to wish he looked human, because he was the only elf surrounded by snooty human nobles who were kind of assholes, trying to touch his hair and ears. But he's grown to love himself for who he is. Good for him I guess?)
Okay I'm going to sleep, you can tell I'm tired bc I rambled sorry 😠I hope this is coherent
