Stealing Glances

featuring Kai wearing Qiu's jacket hehe :3

🗣️ What are the most painful words that can be said to your OC to utterly break them? What are the words that you could tell them to cheer them up? Maybe some advice to give them the boost they need!

This is such a terrifying thing for my game master to ask sdfghj

Yann: You did pretty well breaking him with his dad telling him he was disappointed in him. Yann holds his loved ones’ opinions in high regards. He doesnt care what anyone else thinks, but if he ascribes some kind of importance to you... well. On the flip side though he thrives on any kind of encouragement. He grew up with a very supportive dad, and a great best friend in Iris. He doesnt often need advice, but sometimes it might do good to remind him hes allowed to be stressed.

Sol: Sol doesnt really.. break easy? Not with words anyway. I guess remind him that his sister died to save him, or that he killed Nikolai, but really hes much more likely to punch you than break down. Advice that picks him up are reminders hes not alone- he has his friends, his husbands... still has people and things to fight for.

Ilya: You dont even have to say anything specific just say it assertively and in German and Ilya will just turn Off in an attempt to not get himself hurt asdfg. To cheer him up though just tell him hes pretty- Hes an easy boy.

⚡ What are your OC’s phobias? Is there any reasoning behind these? How do they calm themselves down after getting scared? What are they like when they’re afraid? Is there any chance of them overcoming their fears?

Yann: Yann doesnt have a technical phobia. He doesnt like snakes, but he can handle being around them. He hates churches, and will politely decline going anywhere near them. But nothing that is debilitating. 

Sol: Sol is afraid of ghosts and specifically the smell of blood. Hes afraid of ghosts because of being lowkey superstitious and as a cleric he believes dead things should probably stay dead (despite the fact that both one of his husbands and he himself now have both died before). He doesnt like the smell of blood first because it reminds him of when his mom died in childbirth, and then later because of the Entirety of Houndswater. It triggers his ptsd something awful.

YOU ARE!!!!!! Tree!

Tree is laid-back, perceptive and insightful, and is often viewed as odd by his Clanmates. Tree plays an active role in his children's lives, and encourages them to decide what is best for themselves, even if it means taking the unorthodox route.

5. Their crying sdfg max please. Ilya has a very hard time crying. It’s something he just learned to do. When everything gets to be too much though, he finds somewhere hidden and enclosed and curls up as small as he can and just quietly sobs, willing no one to notice.

Sol is one of those emotional criers. He can and will cry whenever he feels Too Much. Whether thats happy, sad, angry, scared.. How he cries depends on what emotion it is. Hes good at fighting through tears when hes angry, but Sad Crying tends to be overwhelming for him, etc.

8. Their interactions with their significant other(s), if they have them

Sol is a little shy with romance- hes Demisexual and thought he was fully ace/aro for a long time so actually being in love with someone is new for him (let  alone TWO husbands!!) He is a little more private and quiet in public- doesn’t reject affection but is more like... hand holding, little cheek kisses.. that kind of thing.

Ilya found out gay marriage was legal on the surface and never looked back. Fully clings to his husbands’ arms. Loves to play a game with Inigo where they see how flustered they can make Sol by making sexual innuendos. Lots of stopping while walking to demand kisses.
