I was wondering what's something casual the MC could do unwittingly that would accidentally get the ROs all hot and bothered? I saw this ask on another IF and I just think it's so cute and intimate.

Thank you for your ask. ♥️

Liviana- Get angry, protective, or passionate. Liviana always appreciates when her partner is strong and resilient, so seeing MC stick up for themselves or someone else would really turn her on lol. She also appreciates it when MC talks about something they're passionate about, it's sweet and endearing.

Amare- Getting shy or flustered, or making him shy or flustered. Amare is kind of hard to fluster, so if MC manages to do it, it'll definitely be a turn-on. Shy MCs are always adorable to him, and he enjoys making them blush even more.

Estelle- Intelligence. Just seeing MC be knowledgeable in a certain area or something and informing her about it, especially if she didn't know anything about it before, would definitely be a turn-on for her. Estelle likes smart people what can I say.

Ellery- Vulnerability. It isn't easy for MC to be vulnerable and open while being a demigod, and a human in Aquarii, but if they get emotional around him or are more open to sharing how they feel, information about them, and any other personal details, they'll unintentionally turn him on, haha.

???- Breathe tbh.

Ellery Queen

Morality

Contrary to what I would usually expect from a character so well written as his, Ellery’s morality is simple and to-the-point. The reason for this is because he’s not affected much by his surroundings in a way that would factor into his morality. To be able to show it clearly, I’d say that he’d be on the greyer section of the scale. The middle section, or amoral section. That is, quite simply, because he’s amoral. 

However, he’s considerably a lot better than other amoral characters, like Dazai, as an example. This is because he recognizes what others would consider “good” and “evil” and deliberately tries to stay away from both and just stick to neutral things. Moreover, he doesn’t think about whether or not the thing he’s doing is “good” or not. He just does what he knows needs to be done to achieve this goal of his. It’s a practical way of thinking, but not the kindest one, because it means that he could still hurt people unintentionally. Despite thinking this way, I believe that he tries to go out of his way to not be the cause of serious issues to anyone.

In a way, he’s similar to Ranpo, because they would both do whatever it takes to reach this goal of theirs; to crack this case they’re handling. However, Ranpo still tries to actively help people through his work. Ellery’s just doing it because he enjoys it. It’s not to help people, at all. At the end of the day, he’s just a detective who’s a tad bit narcissistic. He doesn’t care for others, and I doubt he ever will.

Personality and insecurities

Ellery is an eccentric character, like any detective usually is. Not only is he highly intelligent and observant, but he’s also cunning and snarky. He’s got a sharp mind, and he isn’t afraid to flaunt it. He knows that he’s better than everyone else and he knows how special he is. He recognizes his own worth and would not stand to be treated less than what he’d expect for himself. Despite that, Ellery is a terribly insecure person. This is because he holds himself to unreasonably high standards and believes that that’s what people expect of him. He’s terrified of disappointing people, but he hides that all behind a mask of being mean and snarky to others. He doesn’t want them to ever think that he’s the way he is. 

Because of the way that he thinks about himself, he thinks that others think of him in that same way. They see him as this incredibly intelligent mastermind of a person, and he likes it that they do so, because he believes that that’s what he deserves. However, he thinks that they also hold him to the same expectations that he holds to himself, which causes him to fear that he’ll disappoint them; that, once they find out that he’s not capable of being this certain image, they will disrespect him and look down on him. Another fear of his that ties into the previous one is his fear of failure. Because he holds himself to such high standards, he believes that he should never fail. It pains him when he misses a miniscule detail or when he gets something wrong, but he will never be able to express it.

Conclusion

Ellery is one of my absolute favourite characters, which makes sense considering who my favourite characters always usually end up being. He’s really well-written and he’s incredibly complex. In a way, he is a mystery. I think he’d be quite glad to know that. I just admire his character as a whole a lot, and I don’t think I have the words to describe that.

How would the ROs react to a shy MC just nervously asking for a kiss while blushing up a storm and avoiding making eye contact with the ROs?

Thank you for your ask. ♥️

Liviana- She’d coo at MC, and would happily kiss them! And probably many more. MC might end up with a lot of lipstick on their face afterward. 

Amare- Could imagine him making them feel even more embarrassed by saying something like, “I haven’t even kissed you yet…” He’d kiss them, but would mercilessly tease them for being shy. Not like he can help himself, they’re just so cute!

Estelle- She’d kiss them and wouldn’t say anything, but the smug little smirk on her face would give it all away. 

Ellery- He’d kiss them, and would probably get equally as embarrassed. Both MC and Ellery would just be awkward blushing messes afterwards. 

???- They’d probably enjoy this a little too much. If they’re feeling nice, though, they’ll happily kiss MC and may even offer more if MC’s been good. Otherwise, they’ll definitely make MC beg for it.

sharing you the update the color palettes before i work on the refsheets

i tried to simplyfy some of the color patterns and not over complicate on the designs

with the baddies : Ellery and Devan ( the troublemakers' dads ) , im prou

and ft Corine and Torox's dads , Mimosa zegmer and Okon

and a headshot for Tomomi ( PJ's Gf ) new design and made her main matcha color scales a bit more vibrant. , i struggled with chosing a pallete for her horns and i ended up liking this one combination , i think it combines well with her matcha colors

What’s their instinct in a fight / flight / freeze / fawn situation?

If they committed one petty crime / misdemeanor, what would it be? Why?

Who do they love truly, 100% unconditionally (if anyone)?

What fact do they excitedly tell everyone about at every opportunity?

I’ll do these for Ellery!

What’s their instinct in a fight / flight / freeze / fawn situation?

She’s definitely a flight character at the beginning (far more reserved and careful), but by the end she’s grown and changed enough that she’d fight.

If they committed one petty crime / misdemeanor, what would it be? Why?

Breaking and entering happens MULTIPLE times over the course of their story. (I’m not actually sure if this is a misdemeanor but hey ghost laws are what I say they are)

Who do they love truly, 100% unconditionally (if anyone)?

I don’t think there’s anyone she loves unconditionally. Diggory is like a brother to her though, what with their history together, and she’s willing to do a lot for him.

What fact do they excitedly tell everyone about at every opportunity?

If you gave them two minutes of silence, they’d resort to card tricks VERY quickly. Card behind your ear? You got it. Classic “Is this your card”? Absolutely. Other tricks they totally made up themself? Of COURSE.

We’ll ignore the fact that she can teleport things and just let her have her fun, yeah?
