Okay but for the ship prompt, I don't know if you take OCxCanon but maybe you could do both Syzoth/Ashrah AND Syzoth/Layara in order to maybe draw parallels between the two (and possibly create a lot of angst lol)
SEND ME A SHIP and Iâll tell you:
for angelscales first (tagging @chewbokachoi and @laismoura-art since they also asked me about this ship)
Who said âI love youâ first
i think it would have been syzoth. i think hes someone who would be much more in tune with his emotions than ashrah would be and would have a much easier time knowing how to show affection than she would in the beginning. so naturally, i think he would have been the first to say it. even though she of course DID love him too, it might not have even occured to her that she needed to say it lol
Who would have the otherâs picture as their phone background
ashrah does for sure. when johnny shows her how to use earthrealm technology she becomes quite adept at it. and i could easily see her wanting to personalize things like her phone or a computer that belongs to her. i think syzoths phone is as close to factory settings as it could possibly be lol he doesnt care to use it at all, and the only contact in there is ashrahs phone number
Who leaves notes written in fog on the bathroom mirror
ashrah does, i think she finds it to be cute and playful. and i think syzoth would find it endearing and leave some for her too
Who buys the other cheesy gifts
i think ashrah only because she would have more opportunity to. she goes on trips to earthrealm landmarks and sees those tshirts and mugs that say "someone who loves me very much bought me this [insert trinket] from [insert country/city/landmark]" but like she buys them unironically
Who initiated the first kiss
syzoth i think. this goes back to how he was much more outwardly affectionate than she was in the beginning of their relationship
Who kisses the other awake in the morning
depends on who wakes up first
i dont think they have these
Who asks who if they can join the other in the shower
ashrah asks more often, if its cold out then syzoth would ask bc he knows the water would be warm
Who surprises the other in the middle of the day at work with lunch
ashrah brings syzoth tea in the middle of the day sometimes
Who was nervous and shy on the first date
syzoth, i dont think ashrah even thought to be shy
Who kills/takes out the spiders
syzoth just eats them lmao
Who loudly proclaims their love when theyâre drunk
ashrah, i headcanon that alcohol would be poisonous to someone like syzoth so he doesnt drink
Who said âI love youâ first
layara did for sure. syzoth was an overthinker and couldnt even believe he had gotten as far as he did. he also wasnt familiar with warmblood mating rituals and ettiquette. he was too scared of accidentally making it weird so he held off. but after layara helped them both cross that boundary he said it to her very often
Who would have the otherâs picture as their phone background
neither of them know what a phone is
Who leaves notes written in fog on the bathroom mirror
layara because she thinks its cute, syzoth reciprocates
Who buys the other cheesy gifts
theyre too poor to buy each other gifts </3 bc of that, any physical gift either of them buys the other is always going to have a lot of love and thought put into it, it has to count
Who initiated the first kiss
layara, again, because syzoth was not familiar with warmblood mating rituals. while zaterrans have their own equivalent, she had to teach him what a human kiss is lol
Who kisses the other awake in the morning
syzoth, he finds he reallys likes kissing now that he knows what it is
Who asks who if they can join the other in the shower
layara. syzoth thought all warmbloods value their privacy while bathing so it didnt occur to him that he could ask lol. he doesnt shy away from it though after learning that shes comfortable with it
Who surprises the other in the middle of the day at work with lunch
they work together so its hard to surprise each other, instead i think every once in a while when syzoth has the money to afford it he asks if she wants to go eat lunch elsewhere just the two of them
Who was nervous and shy on the first date
syzoth for sure, he didnt know the first thing about what it means to go on dates and he wanted to make sure he was "doing it right"
Who kills/takes out the spiders
Who loudly proclaims their love when theyâre drunk
layara since syzoth cant have alcohol
