alex: what’s your dream career?

"my dream career is honestly to not have a career,” he says with a shrug. “but not in like a i-can’t-wait-to-stay-home-and-keep-dinner-warm kind of way, but more in like a fuck-capitalism kind of way. which i know, i know, is a schtick i’m stealing from robin, but he’s right! i mean, i love art and getting to animate is such a joy in my life, but then capitalism turns around and makes it into a commodity. i can’t just draw, i have to cater to what my production company needs from me and then consider how well the audience is going to receive it and then change my entire art style based on what kind of design has historically garnered the most amount of profit. it’s exhausting, and it makes me feel like i’m only producing a hollow frame of the creativity i’m capable of. so, uh, sorry, to answer your question -” he regroups a bit. “i want to spend my life making art based on whatever actually inspires me, maybe get famous for it, but only after i die so i never feel pressured to cater to public opinion. i hear that doesn’t pay the bills too well though, so i guess i’m fine where i am.”

edward: do you ever want to get married?

“yeah, i really do.” it’s something he’s thought about a lot throughout his timeline of lovers, but especially with eddie, who hasn’t made his aversion to marriage a secret. “i know it’s an outdated social construct. i’ve read all the feminist theory about how we’ve progressed past the need for wedding bells. but, i don’t know. there’s still something about it that makes me feel a little warm inside. maybe i just like the thought of getting to go to court if somebody wants to break my heart again.” 

sophia: what aspect of yourself are you most confident about?

“oh, i know this one! my teeth, look.” he flashes a smile, holding it for a moment before resorting back to his closed-mouth grin. “i like how white and straight they are, unlike me. and all without braces, just a lot of activated charcoal.”

harley: what’s your muse’s love language?

giving gifts, definitely! perhaps, she was simply influenced by her bà and mā as it was how they showed their affections to each other, but she's not holding it against them. she would no doubt have food delivered to your apartment, stay up all night to paint a 24x24 canvas to celebrate your first month together, buy nauseatingly expensive gifts for your one year anniversary. it may be a bit much for others, and they would often complain that kyle's tendency to give at every turn is burdensome. 

cleo: what would your muse’s amortentia (love potion) smell like?

ap1: what’s your character’s dream vacation?

sibby

answered !!

harley: what’s your muse’s love language?

frankie’s love language is definitely words of affirmation. does it have something to do with her criminally low self-esteem and lack of affirmation when she was younger? who knows.

ap4: what’s your character’s greatest loss? 

precious paws animal shelter: your muse accompanies mine to adopt a pet. 

“i had no idea they had lizards here too! why’d ya let me drag you all the way out to long island when we had reptiles so close?!” murphy ducked down slightly so that his eyes were level with the terrarium. he glanced back at lucy, teasing, “do you like lizards because they’re also little like you?” he brought his fingers up to the glass, not to tap, just to give the scaly creature a little wave; then, he gasped, a sudden idea coming to his head, “do you think i could foster a lizard?!” he wasn’t sure if he could handle another pet full-time, but fostering would be a good way to find out, right? “you should just tell fran and riley that you’re fostering lizards and then keep them forever.” he laughed, beaming at his friend, “give ‘em time to warm up to the little things then... BAM, you got ‘em forever!” 

lena: what’s your muse’s safe space?

Leo’s safe space is his childhood bedroom. It’s the one place in the world where he knows he can be himself & be free of judgement because he’s alone. Whenever he’s feeling stressed or just needs a break from the city, he’ll cross the Queensboro Bridge and spend the weekend at his dad’s house. 

harley: what’s your muse’s love language?

Receiving gifts. Though he’d never admit it to just anyone, Leo’s loves receiving gifts of any kind. It doesn’t matter if it’s his birthday, a holiday, or just someone bringing him something that reminded them of him (shout out to Lucy @lucythompson), Leo’s heart always flutters when someone hands him something just for him. This is because when he was growing up, getting gifts was a very rare occurrence as Saul pinched almost every penny he earned & would only get him a small something on his birthday. So, getting gifts is the simplest way into his heart. 

raven: what’s your muse go-to coffee shop drink?

elico: would you risk your friendship with someone for a chance at lifelong love? 

“What the fuck? Am I being wiretapped? Am I on surveillance? Who the fuck is--” Before she descends into full on paranoia, she is reminded that she still has a question to answer. From her chest, she exhaled a deep sigh. Chewing on her lower lip, she spent a few minutes in thought. “I don’t know. I mean if they show any inclination of liking me back which for the record, rarely happens, I might.” Is this why she hasn’t made any move to sacrifice her friendship with Lucy...yet?

roliza: when it comes to relationships, if you had to choose, would you choose security or chemistry?

“Who the fuck cares? I’d just be happy that I’m even in a relationship.” 

( If she had to choose between the two, she’d choose security in theory, but chemistry in practice. She can never handle the image of someone she loves walking away from her, but she still makes the same mistakes her mother made. )

fralex: what’s your favorite romcom?

cleo: what would your muse’s amortentia (love potion) smell like?

summer: what’s an unfulfilled dream that your muse has?
