this is a collection of thoughts i’ve had about my own muses that i don’t see in enough character building questionnaires. be sure to specify for multis. consider this the main universe of the character unless specified. so here is my focal brainrot: feel free to reblog.
1. what is a deal-breaking trait in another muse for romantic consideration? this can be as detailed or as not as you like (to extend: if your muse doesn’t necessarily have one, why?)
2. would your muse date someone who was fat? * (to extend: if they wouldn’t, why? do they have a body type they prefer in others?)
3. how does your muse treat people who work in the service industry?
4. does your muse tip well/what would be the reason they didn’t?
5. sleeping positions are important; what is your muses solo & with someone else?
6. what does their bedding look like? (to extend: do they make their bed every day? how often do they change it?) extra points for images.
7. what does your muse smell like? (to extend: does it vary throughout the seasons? do they use signature perfumes or scents? does their diet impact this?)
8. while there’s often a correlation between what a muse’s personal & inspired playlists look like, what is your muse’ preferred genre of music? what songs are playing if someone asks? (think about the time you’re writing your character in).
9. name three other canon characters from any sort of media that you could compare/draw inspiration to your muse & explain why (to extend: can you detail a specific moment or trait that makes you draw this comparison?).
10. show examples of three pieces of art in any form that represent elements of your muse & their imagery. (to extend: why? is it the form of the art itself as sculpture or painting or use of oils? is it the colours? is it the image itself?).
11. tell me a line from a song that makes me think of your muse & tell me why. is it the lyrics itself? the composition?
12. does your muse suffer from revenge bedtime procrastination? (the lack of free time during the day that means they will sacrifice sleep in order to garner this said ‘free time’).
13. do they look at themselves in reflective surfaces when passing them?
* as a fat person who has included this, to me, i rarely see fat people in media being portrayed as healthy romantic options & therefore, i think there should be an interest & should specifically regard certain beauty standards of the time. this is a body type highly under-represented.
