such cute babies i heart them all, plus the lyra and silver zoom in

mm. im not typicallyyyyy a fan of lyra/silver

THOUGH. i can enjoy it if it was like

Lyra and Ethan know how much he struggles w giving or accepting affection so their strategy is to just not give him time to process and get embarassed by it. Full force attack. Giving affection casually like its no big deal and continuing on like nothing happened so silver doesnt have time to be embarassed about it in the moment. It also helps him to relax a bit and not feel pressured. Trying to learn how to have positive healthy relationships after 11ish years of nothing is very difficult and would make you feel very vulnerable.

Especially being abandoned by your family, im sure there is some level of fear that literally anyone else could leave you too. If your own family wouldn't stay around, itd be hard to trust someone who you see as having even less reason to stick around.

Just one really!

THANKS MAH DUDE

Who believes in love at first sight?

I kinda feel like Ethan would be the most likely person...? Silver doesn’t believe in that shit in the slightest. Especially since he’s demisexual/demiromantic, not to mention he has an aversion to people he doesn’t know in general, so his mindset towards that is pretty much: “Okay. Sounds fake but okay.”

Who started liking the other first?

Lyra started liking Ethan first, Ethan started liking them both next, then Lyra started liking Silver, and lastly, Silver warmed up to them enough to like them.

Who is more likely to suggest a romantic, candle-lit dinner?

Lyra. She likes planning out dates and stuff and has a bit of a romantic streak. Ethan is a lot more spontaneous and Silver gets uncomfortable in situations like that because he’s lived on his own for so long that he feels out of place anywhere more fancy than like... TGI Friday’s or w/e. And even then, it’s starting to push his boundaries a little.

Who’s behind the wheel more often during road trips?

Lyra. Ethan gets overwhelmed easily when driving and Silver has road rage.

Who sets up the tent and who gathers firewood during a camping trip?

Silver would be all over gathering firewood with his Pokemon. Ethan and Lyra tag team setting up the tent.

Who hooks bait during a fishing trip? Who catches more fish?

Ethan is surprisingly adept at fishing, though he always releases the Pokemon he doesn’t catch. Silver is also decent, but he’d just as soon jump into the river and grab one as use an actual fishing rod. (That’s what happens when you learn how to fish from your Pokemon.) Lyra is content just watching them. She doesn’t like touching the bait anyway.

Who insists on learning how to ballroom dance?

Lyra. Ethan thinks it’ll be fun. Silver is Uncomfortable but humors his S/Os anyway. He is a surprisingly decent dancer.

Who goes all out on the other’s birthday?

Ethan and Lyra both go all-out. Silver prefers a smaller, more intimate celebration, but he appreciate what they do for him and tolerates the additional people at their parties.

Who sings louder while cooking? While showering?

Ethan sings loudly, and often. Lyra sometimes joins in. Silver rarely ever sings, but he would get the loudest in the shower b/c that’s where he can most often forget that other people might hear. Still not as loud as Ethan, though.

Who teases the other for said singing?

Ethan and Lyra both tease Silver for his singing, but more because it’s so rare than as a reflection of his ability. They always make sure he knows they love it so he’s not discouraged from future unintentional performances.

Who insists on checking their zodiac sign compatibility every so often?

Lyra and Ethan. I’d say they both have a passing interest in it, Lyra more so, but they’re not really serious about it. Silver thinks it’s all bullshit.

Who drags the other to fortune tellers at fairs?

Again, Lyra and Ethan, and Silver still thinks it’s bullshit.

Who would carry who over the doorstep of a new home?

Johto OT3

who spends hours putting up lights only to get tangled in them and storm off

Silver. He hasn’t had experience with this shit & though he’s adept at untangling ropes & stuff, Christmas lights are a whole different story.

who accidentally eats a whole box of christmas chocolates in one sitting?

I can see both Ethan and Lyra being the likely culprits. Lyra especially.

who insists on watching the cheesey hallmark christmas movies?

Ethan & Lyra both. Silver bitches about the cheesiness but eventually shuts the hell up & enjoys himself

who insists on playing nothing but michael buble in the few days running up to christmas?

I’d say Ethan. It’s an audio Good to him.

who gets their presents wrapped at the mall so the other cant go snooping

Silver and Lyra both. Silver can’t wrap for shit & though Lyra enjoys wrapping things, sometimes she just doesn’t have the time. That and Ethan & like… half their Pokemon are too curious for their own good.

who insists on making snow angels?

None. Silver hates the whole concept because who in their right mind lays down in the cold-ass fuckin snow, Ethan doesn’t like the snow getting on his clothes and melting & making everything wet, & Lyra is very ‘meh’ towards it anyway, so she doesn’t pressure anyone into doing it.

who put christmas outfits on all the pets?

Ethan and Lyra both try to put the outfits on. Keyword ‘try’. Silver just lets them play with the outfits. It’s become tradition with him to let his cats tear apart a Santa hat each year.

Do they go to family’s or have a quiet day in?

Ethan and Lyra always want to go to their familys’. Silver is a bit apprehensive due to his past but he will indulge them regardless. He’s much more relaxed when visiting his father though.

who insists on wearing matching ugly christmas jumpers?

Lyra. It’s a perfect photo opportunity!

Who waits up until midnight to give the other their present?

Ethan because he can’t sleep he’s too excited!!! And I can see Silver doing this on a rare romantic whim.

Who insists on hand-made presents only one year?

Ethan. He loves handmade stuff! It feels even more special to him!

Who puts mistletoe on every door frame?

Ethan and Lyra conspire to catch Silver off guard… He’s a total fuckening blushing mess for pretty much the entire day as he gets used to it all.

Who gets too drunk at the work christmas party and has to be picked up at 9:15pm?

… hrm. We haven’t really talked about what Ethan & Lyra’s jobs would be but Silver would probably be the most likely culprit anyway. Even though he’d be the gym leader & would only want a small little thing just to appease his gym aides, if he even has any. Someone probably spiked the eggnog w/o telling him or some shit. (lmao he’d be pissed afterwards if that were the truth.) That or he just needed the fucking alcohol to make it through the party. They’re not really his thing.

who gets angry and almost tells kids that santa isnt real?

Silver. He restrains himself for his S/Os’ sakes. And I can also see Lyra getting to the point where she’s pissed off enough to almost do this. She’d regret it immediately though.

Alphyne

who spends hours putting up lights only to get tangled in them and storm off?

They’d probably put them up together (or at least Alphys would TRY to help but… y’know. She a short.) but Undyne would be the one to get frustrated & storm off.

who accidentally eats a whole box of christmas chocolates in one sitting?

Alphys. Mew Mew Kissy Cutie can be so distracting…

who insists on watching the cheesey hallmark christmas movies?

Alphys. She’s a nerd like that.

who insists on playing nothing but michael buble in the few days running up to christmas?

Hrm… I can’t see either of them doing this. Undyne would want more energetic songs (or ones that she can make innuendos with, like ‘make the yuletide GAY’), and Alphys would love to just have Christmas songs playing straight from her anime.

who gets their presents wrapped at the mall so the other cant go snooping

Alphys. Undyne is very underhanded when she snoops around. Besides, she’s not very confident in her wrapping abilities anyway, and her claws kinda make it difficult to do anything without tearing the paper all to shit (even though she’s a perfectionist & very gentle & her wrapping always looks insanely good to other people - it’s just never enough for her & gets her unnecessarily stressed out)

who insists on making snow angels?

Undyne. She spends half the time hanging with Papyrus in Snowdin anyway, so why the hell not? Alphys is unused to the cold and selfconscious about her snow angel oh god it looks like shit doesn’t it I tried and I failed

who put christmas outfits on all the pets?

ALPHYS the NERD

Do they go to family’s or have a quiet day in?

They don’t really have families??? That we know of anyway??? So quiet day in.

who insists on wearing matching ugly christmas jumpers?

Undyne. The more gay she can make this crap the better.

Who waits up until midnight to give the other their present?

Alphys. She’d be too nervous to wait the whole time and oh god could you just open it now so it’ll be over & she can relax and get some sleep???

Who insists on hand-made presents only one year?

… Papyrus. Because let’s face it - most of Undyne’s attempts to make something end in disaster. And Alphys has too much anxiety to insist on piling MORE responsibility on herself during the holiday season. (It was probably a Christmas party idea he had or some shit. All presents must be home-made.)

Who puts mistletoe on every door frame?

UNDYNE. AND ALPHYS BLUSHES OVER IT ALL THE WAY TO NEXT CHRISTMAS

Who gets too drunk at the work christmas party and has to be picked up at 9:15pm?

Undyne. And she flirts HEAVILY with Alphys on the way home. God forbid the children overhear her comments………

who gets angry and almost tells kids that santa isnt real?
