Elric incorrect quotes: shipping edition

[bugbart]

3,8, 30 for the ask me.

3: Do you have a favorite clothing style? I think my friends who are more style-savvy have described my preferred method of dress as "grunge-y". generally I like wearing band t-shirts and converse, the most dressed-up i get is my battle vest or a leather jacket.

8: What is your Greek personality type? [Sanguine, Phlegmatic, Choleric, or Melancholic] somewhere between Sanguine and Choleric i think.

30: Favorite movie? The Green Knight (2021) OR Terminator 2 (1991)

I've had @retrocatastrophy's roommates AU for Elric and Conan on the brain so I wanted to write them a little somethin' somethin'.

----

It's midnight and Conan is standing at the fridge with the door open eating cottage cheese directly out of the carton. Elric is watching him pointedly from the beat-up couch in the living room, white hair tied up in a bun secured by a wooden hair fork, journal in his lap filled with morbid chicken-scratch that is somehow both fluidly spidery and almost as angular as cuneiform.

"Did you forget to eat again?" Conan's voice from the kitchen is both warped and muffled.

"Don't talk with your mouth full," Elric resumes writing.

"Elric."

"I had a late lunch."

"Get some cereal or something."

"Mm-hm."

Conan steps out of the kitchen, now holding a beer, and leans against the living room wall. "Did you wait up for me?"

Elric snorts a little. Conan glances over at the TV, where a campy-looking film is playing at a low volume. Background noise. "I'd be up this late anyway," he replies.

The couch cushions squeak and rock beneath them both as Conan practically backwards-bodyslams into a slumped lounging position, cracking open a light beer and nursing the foam off the top of the can. "Taarna wants to hang out next week."

"Mm?"

"As in, you'd be hanging out too."

Elric weighs this for a bit longer than a normal person would. "...I can do next week," he says, slowly tripping from word to word.

"You could have tagged along tonight."

"I don't 'tag along.' If you want me to come, invite me, and give me some time beforehand to prep."

Conan just gives a short exhale out of his nostrils at this before sipping his beer.

"What?" says Elric.

"What do you mean 'What?'" says Conan.

"I can tell when you're thinking of something and you've decided not to say it," says Elric, "What is it?"

"Just... you'd get better at the 'spontaneous hangout' thing if you actually... hung out."

Elric is giving him one of those narrow looks again.

"...are you gonna get the cereal--?" Conan starts and Elric makes a frustrated noise and pushes his journal off onto the end table.

"I'll get the damn cereal--" he mutters, sulking to the kitchen.

"What's the movie?" Conan calls after him, grabbing the remote and turning up the volume.

"Horror Express," Elric's answer is punctuated by the closing fridge.

"Nice," says Conan as Elric re-takes his seat next to him, more carefully to accommodate a cereal bowl.

They watch for a few minutes before Elric says, "Taarna actually mentioned me? Like, by name?"

"Well, yeah, you're both spooky and distant and when you actually start to come out of your shell and have fun, then you both get fucking deranged."

Elric's shrewd narrow look has softened to mild exhaustion at this point. Getting something in his stomach does take the some of the edge off, even if the guy is like, 60% edge.

"Which... I mean in a good way?" Conan adds on a little too late, "Like, you get along, is what I'm saying."

Elric almost smiles at this.

"So what's the monster tonight?" Conan glances back at the screen.

"Frozen caveman vampire," Elric says between crunches of cereal.

"Nice."

Copia has a glass eye.

This is a cool idea! It could explain him with the two colored eyes since he’s ‘technically’ not related to the Emeritus’ family!

17. Do you eat/drink when drawing? if so, what

When a ghoul is in pain, they either hide in a corner and hiss at everybody that tries to get close, or they curl up to you and snuggle for comfort. And they hiss or whine if you try to leave them alone (you're stuck. Good luck)

Imagine trying to get close to a ghoul that’s hiding in the corner and it takes a little warming up, but they allow you closer for comfort purposes, and you’re the only one allowed in their space because they like you. MY HEART
