A self insert commission for the beautiful @pumpkinflavour! ♡(ŐωŐ人)

MHanders is more my speed (by which I mean it’s in my canon worldstate), so you’re getting MHanders. But here we go, the thing I did while I should’ve been studying biochem:

2. Who is the big spoon/ Who is the little spoon?

Hawke is hella shorter than Anders, but he makes a point to be the big spoon. Anders feels safe with Hawke’s arms around him, and Hawke makes sure to curl up close and lay his arm over Anders as they’re falling asleep, just to watch the tension in his face unwind. He falls asleep with a soft, serene smile on his face. Hawke wishes he could make Anders smile that way all the time.

6. Who would have really deep emotional thoughts at the middle of the night/ Who would have them in the middle of the day?

Anders has all his deep thoughts at night—well, all the thoughts he thinks are deep. Sometimes they’re very profound thoughts about the nature of love and humanity and the universe, and sometimes they’re essentially shitposting fueled by a lack of sleep. Hawke, on the other hand, just throws out whatever comes to mind at all times of day—deep, shitpost-y, whatever. People who hear him usually think he’s drunk. He isn’t.

11. Who likes horror movies/ Who likes romance movies?

Hawke doesn’t particularly enjoy horror movies. He does love romcoms, and when it’s his turn to pick, he always puts on some ridiculous sappy movie with terrible acting and an even more terrible plot. Anders puts on a big show of hating them and pointing out every ridiculous contrivance, but he can’t bring himself to hate them too much when they make Hawke smile that way. Besides, when he looks at Hawke, he can understand why a man might turn giddy from being in love.

14. Who kills the spiders?

For someone who lives in a literal sewer, Anders has a particular distaste for spiders. Justice doesn’t like him killing them, though, so the job falls to Hawke.

38. Who likes to star gaze?

Anders. After such a long time in the Circle, sometimes he still can’t believe that he can just go outside whenever he wants and just… look at the stars. Tbh it makes Hawke a little sad that he takes things like that for granted, but to Anders, they’re a luxury and a miracle.

47. Who has the more complex coffee order?

chimes: what sounds are your favorite?omg so this answer is gonna be all over the place :’D but my fave sounds are definitely budgies chattering, the way the wind sounds in the leaves in the woods back home, cat purrs, nice fast cars, my bf’s voice ;w;

treat: your favorite sweets ?good chocolate!!!! nice, quality chocolate. if it’s chocolate and yummy, i love it. idc if it’s cake, cookies, ice cream, candy, gotta be chocolate :’D and/or mint!

finds: what kind of item would you most likely buy from an antique store?probably pretty jewelry! i do love a good shiny thing :3

offering: how do you show others you are fond of them?i will straight up tell them if i have the guts :’D otherwise i’ll talk to them a lot, probably too much, offer to share my food (lol) or be real huggy. i never used to be super physically affectionate to my friends but i’ve turned out that way :’D respecting their boundaries of course!

(55. “You want to know why I love you?” 57. “No one ever stays. Why are you any different?”)

Are you awake?

Yu stared at his phone in the dark, the cursor blinking back at him, looking far more threatening than it had any right to. He pressed the backspace key on his phone, deleting the message. He was being silly. 

Lydia - One More Day

ah yay thank you!! these are so fun c: SORRY IT GOT SO LONG I JUST GET RLY LONG-WINDED ABOUT MY BABIES

2. What is their voice like?

Thistle: usually soft and a little on the quiet side, that’s not to say she can’t speak up or anything but she tends to be a little unassuming :’D

Vali: rather sharp, often cold, and she enunciates clearly. she also basically has two “sets” of “vocal cords,” a human set and an alien set. the alien set allows her to make the purring/clicking/rumbling noises that make up alien speech. when she’s talking as a human, occasionally some clicks and other small sounds slip out. she will use alien sounds as intimidation sometimes too, and they also seem to be her first ‘reaction’ vocalization when something happens (i.e. surprise, pain, anger, etc)

7. Which of their relationships have impacted them most positively?

Thistle: HER GF OMG Nikki has literally and figuratively saved her life on numerous occasions and it’s just so good :’3 she’s basically helped Thistle kind of…calm down a little bit, have more confidence, and absolutely feel safer <3

Vali: her pretty much only human friend, who as of yet is still being called Cerise (i’m not 100% happy with like…any of the names in this project, so they might be changing.) there was immense distrust on both sides at first (and a LOT of fear from Cerise) but they basically had to rely on each other to survive and so slowly built up a friendship following that. Cerise was a runaway so they kind of saw a bit of each other in feeling that they don’t really belong. but the company’s nice :’3 i haven’t decided if it’ll turn into something romantic or not…that would be nice, but also i feel like it’s not necessary. so we’ll see what happens :’D

10. What is their favorite food/kind of food?

Thistle: i’m kinda leaning towards her being a vegetarian, so she’s probably happiest with nice fresh veggies and stuff like that. also probably the kind of person who considers fruit to be dessert, but also wouldn’t turn down chocolate :’D

Vali: doesn’t really get enjoyment out of food, since that was never a huge priority. in the labs, she had to be fed a high calorie diet to keep up with the needs of her body. once she escaped, she’d go after whatever she can find, which turns into a bit of an issue because it’s not easy finding enough fuel for such an unstable body system :’)

29. Are they a morning person?

Thistle: i think so, although she’s definitely fine with a morning of sleeping in super late and snuggling with her gf :’D

Vali: since she doesn’t really sleep (she rather goes into a kind of ‘standby’ mode, where she’s not fully conscious but is able to filter out sounds that are threatening vs. nonthreatening and give her mind a rest that way) i don’t think morning vs. night really matters all that much to her. she feels a lot better under the cover of darkness, though, and her eyesight is amazing in the dark. bright sunlight can actually be a bit detrimental.

33. Do they own any objects of significant personal importance?

Thistle: she’s definitely the kind of person to do this, but i’m still kinda figuring out what exactly that might be. so this is kind of a non-answer :’D 

Vali: not really the sentimental type, but i think it would be lovely for her to end up with something along the course of the story that actually does mean a lot to her. we’ll have to see how it goes :’D

40. Do they have any scars?

Thistle: i’m sure she’d have a few, being a huntress in training and all. nothing major or descriptive though, she’s pretty careful and really big on self-preservation :’D i think i’ve mentioned before that she’d rather flee than fight, but is training to be a better fighter in order to better protect and defend herself should the need arise.

Vali: mostly surgical scars from various tweaks/examinations/implants. she’s mostly biological but does have a few non-organic bits, like the implant in her head (before she ripped it out omg) that allowed her to communicate long-distance with her fellow experiments, monitored by the lab of course. (it turned out to be a tracking device as well, which is why she got rid of it.) there are other various implants measuring her vital signs, performance, and other things that i’m still working out the science of :’D but yes, smaller surgical scars on her head, neck, forearms, maybe abdomen idk

57. What D&D alignment are they?

in the words of my boyfriend, Thistle is probably “chaotic terrified” and Vali is “neutral murder” :’D to be honest i don’t know a lot about D&D alignments (i’ve never played…yet) so just going off of a quick alignment test on the internet, Thistle is probably neutral good, and Vali might be chaotic neutral? i’m really not sure man :’D

69. Is there anything that they find really gross?

Thistle: probably a bit squeamish by nature, but not super bad or anything :’D standard stuff like bug guts maybe? she definitely hates getting her tail dirty, since she likes to keep the underside nice and pretty and white.

Vali: has literally ripped out a man’s jugular with her bare claws, has no time for your weak feelings of “gross” 

75. How patient are they?

Thistle: fairly patient, because if she has time to be patient, that means that things aren’t currently going horribly wrong :’D (also she has Nikki as a girlfriend)

Vali: also quite patient, especially if she’s on the hunt or waiting for the coast to be clear or whatever. she can also use that downtime to go into that ‘standby’ thing.

84. What are some physical features that they find attractive on people?

Thistle: -will smith pose at Nikki-(basically a girl that can bench press her no problem)

Vali: doesn’t really think about or feel physical attraction

91. What is their sense of humor like?

Thistle: surprisingly inappropriate jokes for someone so small and cute and harmless-looking :’D but subtly, she’s more likely to make an innuendo than an all-out vulgar joke. also maybe some puns, but only if they’re clever.
