the blue sword characters rated by how good i think they would be at hugging
Amelia: a nice hug. she'll probably comfort you and offer well-intentioned but slightly condescending advice, whether you're upset or not. tea and biscuits will be involved. 7/10
Charles: he'll awkwardly and briefly hug you, and it's fine, but 0.5 seconds later send you to Amelia instead. 3/10 at least he's self-aware
Corlath: he's big and strong and smells nice, but he's also probably worried about hurting you, which makes his grip too weak. if you don't know each other very well he's almost certainly not going to hug you. if he does anyway it's very awkward. he probably gives you at least one headpat that he thinks about at 3AM when he can't sleep for remembering the embarrassing things he's done. 6/10, but if you're family 10000/10 because you can feel how much he loves you
Harry: she crushes you a little bit because she doesn't hug people often and forgets her own strength after her training. she's more willing to talk out your problems than just sit and hug, which isn't always the best thing. 7/10, 6/10 if you're not biased by queerness like i am, 1000/10 if you're corlath and haven't been hugged by someone close to your size in a long, long time
Jack: he's not really sure what he's doing. maybe ask someone else. 5/10 he gets uncomfortable if it lasts for too long but could be a lot worse
Mathin: a good, dad-ish hug! very strong. lasts longer and is a bit more gentle if you're upset, pretty fast and probably involves a thump or two on the back if you're not. 10/10 leaves you feeling refreshed and a bit more optimistic than you were before
Narknon: fluffy but elusive. if she lets you, it's amazing. 1000/10 she's a cat you're lucky to have looked at her
Richard: he's anxious and distracted by Homelander Rules Of Propriety, but if he gets far enough past that to stop being stiff as a board it's alright. he's very gentle and would probably awkwardly ask you what's wrong, but you can see in his face that he's only asking out of politeness, so no matter what you just smile and say no reason, you only wanted a hug. 4/10 he lays awake at night wondering if you lied and feeling guiltily relieved that you did
