Do you ever worry that an item you pick up might be covered or laced with something gross/dangerous?
hey anon! iām definitely mindful of this, especially in a big city like nyc that has all sorts of gross and hazardous materials around, but thatās why I pick up almost everything with a set of these bad boys that I keep in my bag at all times
theyāre called trongs and are meant for handling messy food, but I was looking for a solution that was easier than stopping and putting a glove on and taking it off again all the time and these fit the bill for me!
I also wear waterproof work gloves (and sometimes a mask) when I clean items, so in general Iām not touching them with my bare skin until they have been cleaned/disinfected. And of course I always wash and/or sanitize my hands after handling any items.
Thanks for the ask! stay safe out there āØš¦āā¬

My muse in a relationship ?s
Under a cut because I have untreatable Canāt Shut The Fuck Up Disease
š« Do they display affection in public? What about in private?
Yes and yes! Public is fun for dramatic & grandiose gestures! Some physical PDA! As it is now, heās fine with tame things like holding hands, fussing over each other, looking at each other all enamored like the brain cells have evacuated the premises (platonic eyefucking for ace dumbass aligned people & morosexuals), that sort of thing.
In private, yes. Also being extra as fuck, even if itās just between them him & a partner. When brainrot is present and touch aversion is absent, heās very tactile & stuck like a koala on a tree. TOUCHY. PLS TOUCH. He prefers to keep intimate displays of affection in private, physical or otherwise. Being authentic & candid & vulnerable is something that he rarely feels comfortable with. Itās so hard to go Off Air. The second he feels like thereās a third party witnessing, heās On Air and he needs to Perform For That Audience. It becomes consumable content! What a terrible thing to do to something that feels sacred.
āļø Are they protective of their partner?
Yes! A big part of gentleman-hood (chosen gender) to him is using power & strength to protect.Ā
This doesnāt always manifest as him throwing hands. Like, okay, for example, his kewpie is an alt with (I assume) a similar power level, his mutual arocrush is an alt with (I assume) a similar power level, his tax husband (hi) has NO problem throwing down. If the other person is handling themself fine, heāll stand back and eat popcorn. Doing otherwise makes him look a beta cuck whoās just looking to prove himself, and also make his partner/friend look like they canāt handle themselves w/o backup. SometimesĀ āprotectiveā just means standing back and keeping an eye out in case he DOES need to jump in.
Sometimes it just means things like shutting it down if a friend is being shitty to his partner, or throwing his weight around as a pre-emptive ātheyāre with me, behaveā in some situations. Sometimes it looks like, if youāre feeling unsafe, heās taking you home. Heās not fuckin sending you home in an Uber so he can keep partying. (He wants to kill every dude on AITA who does this.)
šŗ Do they share information about their relationships freely with friends and family?
Depends! Itās important for him to feel like his friends and family want to listen. Heās never just partnered with people for the sake of it? His aro ass is only swayed into partnership by some pretty intense brainrot. Very intense feelings are difficult to talk about.
Postmortem, itās been hard for him. It took him a while to be okay talking about his kewpie-ship because it was so much to deal with emotionally. Overwhelming. Precious & fragile & precarious at first, like if he moved wrong, everything would break. Shit is SCARY! Now that he feels more stable, itās easier. Heās open to talking about it when he feels like he can.
Premortem, he had more close friends to talk to, he had family, so, sure, re: his relationships with women. Re: relationships with men, not so much, unless they were in the tight circle of friends who knew and didnāt like, stiffen uncomfortably at the topic.
And as much as he likes it when other people are messy, heās not prone to doing it himself or stirring up his own drama. (His own drama stirs itself up just fine on its own, he doesnāt need to assist it.) So, a balance? Stuff that would be appropriate to share about a friendship, if that makes sense? The really intimate stuff, no, that stuff stays private. He finds it really distasteful when people just talk about their partnerās personal secrets & trauma & neuroses & sex habits like itās casual conversation. What a vile way to treat someone who gave you access to their heart & body. Die.šŖšŖšŖ
ā¦ļø Are they concerned with the social status of their partner?
Itās not a contributing factor wrt catching brainrot. Itās something to be aware of. Partnering with someone whoās not in the public eye will thrust this person into the public eye, unless they keep the relationship under wraps. Partnering with someone who has more power & social capital is beneficial to him, but also comes with more social duties (and more reasons to behave). If his partnerās social status involves them being shunned by all his friends bc they like, eat babies, itās gonna be tedious to manage. tl;dr a partnerās social status may require his emotional/social/interpersonal labor to make it work, and he needs to be honest about what heās willing to do. (Honestly, his partner should be worried about HIS social status! infamous ass)
From a different angle, though: partnering with someone whose status is similar to his means that they have a shared experience. Another public figure, or equally infamous & powerful person, is going to Understand things that your average civilian just canāt.

ā¤ļøšš¢ššŖ for vesper!
aahh thank you elliot!! let's go with my little purble girl
ā¤ļøā How do they most often express their love? Verbally or through actions?
Vesper isnāt the greatest at expressing love in general, but verbally? Sheās a disaster, trailing off, embarassment, literally canāt do it. She prefers showing it through actions, acts of service especially. Helping out when she knows a loved ones needs it, cooking (trying) their favourite food. Need to have a talk to figure something out? Sheās gonna be there for you, listening for the whole night even.Ā
šā Do they noticeably change once theyāre in love? Is it easy to notice or just something their partner would pick up on?
Sheās sneaky. She will try her best to let it go unnoticed. If you know her well enough you can notice the way she seems to smile way more often, crack jokes even, and ESPECIALLY the way she would let out a dramatic sigh when looking at someone she loves. The yearning is so strong with her omg. If sheās in a relationship i think that at first she would look so different from her usual self, trying to be affectionate, holding her loved one hands, bringing little gifts. Everything that would make Daniel goĀ āis that my sister?ā and FenixĀ āgod i wish that were me (again)ā. They just need to get used to see this side of her.
š¢ā What are some habits of theirs that would take some getting used to?
OH i have two specific ones in mind: getting used to have clothes getting dirty with blood because she didnāt notice she was bloody (after a boxing fight or literally just after a walk in night city) and she tried to give her loved one a kiss or maybe a pat on the back of a friend. She doesnāt do it on purpose, she swears every time she promises to be more cautious. And then probably getting not so much sleep because sheās playing her bass guitar at 2am and no one can sleep. She just felt the need to play some music :(( OH ALSO sheās gonna prop up her legs and rest them on the table literally...every time she sits, sheās comfy.
šā What are their kisses like?
Iāll be poetic here so bear with me: itās like the sea on the shore. The seaĀ advances and withdraws and thatās the way she kisses: she will start the kiss, desire and courage getting to her head, advance, then suddenly she will realize what sheās done and will feel a bit embarassed, shy even, her kiss will turn a bit more uncertain, withdraw. She needs a second to be certain that what sheās doing is okay, any kind of response from her partner that they are okay with it, once she gets her courage back then itās gonna be such an intimate moment, she would touch her partnerās cheek or neck and try to gain control over the kiss. Itās very sweet honestly, sheās such a sweetheart but she hides it so much.
šŖā How would they react to injury/misfortune befalling their partner? Do they feel at fault?
ABSOLUTELY. She will feel like itās her fault, that she wasnāt strong/good enough to protect them when they needed it the most, sheās gonna feel so bad about it.
send me an emoji for oc asks!
