Hello @bobbole me dear. Thank you so much for the amazing asks. 💖 I'm going to split them into two answers as there's two different ships. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to waffle on about two of my most beloved otps. ❤️❤️
OK first, Desunity (Desire x Unity Kinkaid).
6. What is their favourite feature of their partner's?
I couldn't decide whether to answer this in terms of a physical feature or a personality feature. So, I've done both. 😅
Desire's favourite feature about Unity? Easy, her innate contentment. Unity isn't a creature of avarice. She's brave and loving, and has the phenomenal ability to take whatever fate throws at her and embrace it. She doesn't bemoan the years lost to her and wish her youth back. She's content, is thankful for her dream life and the family she has found on the other side of it. Imagine Desire, forever craved, forever wanted for what they can in turn promise. Always twisted and shaped into the object of another's greatest lust. Imagine them presented with a rare creature such as Unity, peaceful and fulfilled. Who wants nothing from them. And in turn learns to love them, the true them. Possibly the first being ever to do so besides their beloved twin. How truly precious this must be for them?
Desire's favourite physical feature? Well, this is a very self indulgent headcanon. But in every AU Unity lives on in the Dreaming I've envisioned, I've always pictured Unity as an ageless being, who can appear both young and old as she pleases. But always, always with those beautiful, aged, silver locks, a symbol of the years that have passed. A permanent reminder of the dream life she and Desire have lived together in a timeless realm. It would be permanent proof of a period of contentment for Desire. And I think they'd covet those tresses more than anything in existence.
Unity's favourite feature about Desire. Well, I personally think she loves Desire's balkiness. This is Unity (take no prisoners) Kinkaid. Who looked upon the lord of the Dreaming for the first time and verbally laid the smacketh down five seconds later. (Desire must have been so proud!) Unity is 40% heart/ 40% sass and 20% giant gonads! She's more than a match for Desire at their peak brat and I can definitely see their foreplay being a fiery verbal tit for tat. Would Unity be an overall good influence on Desire? Sure. But she loves them for them. And that includes that razor sharp snark. I can just imagine Unity admonishing Desire for a particularly brutal put down, while simultaneously smirking at them with pure pride in her eyes. I pity the poor fool that tries to take them on as a unit.
As for physical, well we all know that. It's those resplendent golden eyes.
26. What would be their theme song?
I know I've answered this one before. Possibly more than once I think. 😅 I've gone with something from the roaring twenties, as it's a decade I intricately connect this couple with. I've gone with ‘Once upon a Dream’ before… for obvious reasons. But you know what, honestly and truly the song that always makes me think of this beloved ship is Freed from desire by Gala. Considering what I said about the Unity...
“My love has got no money
He's got his strong beliefs
He's got his strong beliefs
He's got his strong beliefs
He's got his strong beliefs
People just want more and more
Mind and senses purified”
One pure joy in my life is getting ready bounce my heart out and Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na like no one's watching while thinking of them. 🤣
