#My favorite thing to do with the knight is try to convey what they're thinking without changing the expression

[maci-lena]

I like making comics based on my (or sometime others) experience. So, when you're in the middle of trying to beat the last pantheon and your adopted moth-bat-wyvern son decides to blow up a volatile jellyfish and actually drop you into the acid pit... Yeah, I kinda have to make it a comic.

And yes, he did do that after I defeated Uumuu.

I put him in time-out because of that.

OOC | Love Languages

continuing w this series...

5 love languages:

words of affirmation

physical touch

giving/receiving gifts

quality time

acts of service 

and here's what i said my initial instincts were re: my peeps...

Godfrey — appears as a words of affirmation dude but if he ~really loves you it’s acts of service!!

Tristan — acts of service he is literally a knight!! Send him on a quest!! He will goooo!

Eabha — bc of her ruling lady outlook she looks like acts of service but she’s really more physical touch

Cormac — giving of gifts

Ronan — acts of service!! I hope you like someone just wordlessly doing smth for you bc that’s what ur in for here bc sadly he’s pr rubbish at a lot of the others these days

Cillian — quality time

Saoirse — physical touch

Rosie — quality time

Valentina — receiving gifts

Eilia — words of affirmation 

Rian — quality time

Roderick — giving of gifts

Amira — tbd

Arthur — tbd

ok so in the OPPOSITE corner from amira (in almost everything lbr laksjdfkljsdf) is cormac calleary, perhaps my most openly affectionate character of all (tho rosie certainly gives him a run for his money! ;D but she's got more sense so she can and will rein it in -- does cormac ever tho???? ;DDD)

also yes, i ~did pull a roderick and just pass right over eabha to get to cormac lkajdfkljdsfsdf i find him a delight i will not be apologizing for this lkajsdflkdjsf

words of affirmation

cormac is here to build you up!!!! real talk, his wild and flagrant compliments, not always being fully grounded in reality, may indeed miss the mark more times than not, but not for lack of trying!!!! cormac wants you to know that he thinks ur the best and loves you v much!!!!!!! he probs (definitely) has some fantasy built up in his head abt just how he perceives ur relatinship and, sure, unless ur cassimir, ~he is the hero of the story of whatever ur relationship is but!! youre still pr great to have managed to draw ~his attention!!!! i mean look what he is wearing!!!!! cormac is smth extraordinary so ur doing smth right just to have drawn his attention!!!!!!!

even fiona, who is his least favorite loved one atm (see: even MORE swans in his chambers last night!!!! *cue unbridled sobbing*) is entitled to words of affirmation when she needs them, but she ~is at a point where she must need them to hear them bc they're in a tiff rn. same goes for eabha, generally, but that's actually much more complicated. other than that tho no solicitation needed!!! he will drown you in praise just for coming near him if his mind strays to that, esp if ur cassimir who is heartily deserving of all our love and devotion!!!!!!!!

physical touch

don't think cormac strays from this one either!!! its not as natural to him as some of the others, words of affirmation and gifts probs being his primary means of conveying affection, but as we all know, cormac is of a rather flamboyent turn, and his gestures and touches are no less so!!! the man is given to histrionics, BIG TIME, and you can see this in how he interacts w others as well. he WILL be pulling you into a big hug or seizing your hand as he screams or pulling you out onto the dance floor if you happen to be a woman (esp a malconaire!) or gasping way too loudly and grasping the fabric of your sleeve while holding his hand to his mouth...cormac isn't one to be shy!!!!

giving/receiving gifts

ok so here's a big one!!!! real talk, idk that any of these gifts are things that you particularly ~want!! but you wiLL be getting them!!! i feel like bolts of like tulle is a go-to gift -- no one is wearing enough!!!!!! the gaudiest toothpick case you've ever seen (yes, that ~was a sense & sensibility reference <3)???? the most useless, extravagant, and tasteless things imaginable!!!!!!! and he wiLL be insisting you use it, too!!!!!!!!!! he might (probably will) cry if you don't!!!!! or if you try to return it!!!!!! he defffff feels that he's doing you a huge favor w this btw!! like...he's got faults, but a lack of generosity isn't one...unfortunately, a lack of taste ~is one tho lajkdsfljksdf and these are noT gifts that are taking your tastes into consideration!!! they're what ~he thinks would suit you/you should try out or whatever lakjsdfjklsdf

cormac also relishes receiving gifts!!!!! while they rarely meets his tastes, he understands that his level of taste is untouchable by the rest of the world!!! and the thought!!!! he WILL weep!!!!!! it means sm to him that you thought of him and wanted him to have smth like that!!!!!!! like!!!!! you were going abt ur day!!!!!! and he was in ur thoughts!!!!!! and here is a symbol of that for him to keep!!!!!!! yule is a really emotional time for him lakjsdfkljsdjkf

quality time

cormac is here to have a good time!!!!! and sure his idea of that is hardcore gossip w tea and finger sandwiches and everyone he knows there and dancing to loud flamboyant music and everyone in their best looks, all surrounded by the most ostentatious decor you've ever seen but!!! quality time is quality time!!!! he'll whine bitterly but if you ask him to he'll go to the swamp w you (tho...if you really want him there maybe don't mention the swamp just that ur going on an adventure lkajdsfkjlsdjf) cormac, in his way, is pr loyal...like...if ur in danger he will noT fight (he wouldn't do that for himself!) he'll just cower and cry and possibly scream, but he wiLL go live somewhere where there are a ton, and i mean a TON, of swans bc ur there (aine!!!!! this one is for you!!!!!!! and sure there's another dude living in his house but!!!!! its really for aine bc he kows otherwise roderick would've called him to the palace to be at his side!!!!!!!!!) and if that's not love, cormac doesn't know what is!!!!!!!!!!! ofc there ~will be heavy complaining abt this too but honestly that's just the dark side of his total openness -- like you never have to wonder if he loves you; you also never have to wonder if he's uncomfortable w the situation!!! you will hear ALL of his thoughts!!!!!!!!

no but real talk he does enjoy hanging out w ppl he cares abt!!!! that's a good time in his book!!!!! cormac is a heavily social person and he gets bored and lonely really easily so he sees basolutely no downside to this!!!!!!!!! lets spend some quality time, ppl!!!!!!

acts of service 

ok. finally one that cormac is NOT vibing w at all!!!!! i mean, the dude who do absolutely anything for even a crumb of validation, so its not outside the question like if cassimir called him a good boy for like bringing him smth he'd do that!!!!!!!! that's all he wants/needs!!!!!! he loves words of affirmation <333333 buT!!!!!!! he also is lazy af AND incompetent to boot like?????? he can barely comprehend this one!!!!! it freaks him out on multiple levels!!!!!!! he wiLL if you really want it but god he will suck at it and it'd probs be easier for everyone if you just did it urself -- unless you really just enjoy watching a grown man cry bc that's practically a guarantee in this scenario bc he does! not! want! to! disappoint! you! but he inevitably will alskdjflkjsdjkf and he might even start to resent you if you keep asking w/o giving enough validation (aka whole speeches etc) like with *cough*eabha*cough*
