Ooh, I'd like to make an a hat in time request. Empress who's S/O finds out she purrs when her chin or ears are scritched! C'mon, if you have a cat lover you can't not, lol
First of all she's very particular about who touches her. It's actually a little while into dating her before she's comfortable with you touching her in any way other than hand holding or hand on shoulder.
While she has an idea how she likes to be touched from her own self-care, she actually doesn't realize how she likes touch from someone else (it can feel quite different sometimes!).
So her ears and chin are areas she doesn't really care about touching herself. But when you do it? It feels amazing. Especially if you lightly scratch in little motions.
She unknowingly leans into your touch whenever it feels particularly good. And yep, sometimes she purrs without meaning too if she gets very relaxed.
While she doesn't realize when she leans in, she can hear and feel her purr more so she knows when it slips out. So, she's more likely to notice and be embarrassed by her purr.
The first few times you get her to purr, she's a little embarrassed. Purring is something she doesn't like doing in front of others unless it's on her own accord and used to accent what she's saying (for example, flirting).
Usually what happens is she stops purring, flattens her ears, and slightly shies away from your touch.
Just reassure her it's okay! She needs to hear that it's okay for her to relax. It flusters her to be called cute, so she might grumble a little if you say that.
With a little coaxing, she'll warm up to relaxing around you. Eventually she won't hold back and will be loudly purring any time you make her feel nice.
What if you point out that she purrs more now? "I have to let you know how good you make me feel."

snatcher with a s/o that takes things said at face value? like, doesnt understand sarcasm and flirting(can rarely catch them tho) and if told to leave or something like that they WOULD actually leave BUT can dish out sarcasm and flirts no problem
Snatcher masks what he's really thinking a lot with sarcasm, exaggeration, and flat out saying something entirely different. Sometimes he means to, but sometimes it's because even he doesn't know quite what he's feeling or wanting. So get ready for a lot of confusion between you two.
Possible example: He's having some type of feelings around you that he can't quite figure out, which stresses him, so he tells you to leave and not come back, and you do, but then he realizes he actually likes your company, but he doesn't want to admit that, he tells you you can come back for business, then you keep trying to be professional with him and dang it this isn't what he wants either
Basically there's going to be a lot of times when he says something he doesn't really mean, you think he does, he realizes he doesn't want that actually, he attempts to amend it
But Snatcher starts choosing his words more carefully with you. It’s actually not too hard for him; he often selects just the right words to make loopholes for himself when dealing with people. So he makes sure he’s straight to the point with you, suppressing his sarcasm and hyperbole.
Although he fumbles when you flirt with him. He gets so flustered, and he doesn’t like to admit that you’ve had such an effect on him. Usually, he would cover that up with a quip, but he can’t with you. Oops, looks like he’s showing his vulnerability. Sometimes he ends up just hiding his face and making grumbling noises.
Sometimes he slips up, countering your flirting and sarcastic comments with his own sarcasm and joking remarks. But he catches himself more often and more quickly with time, and restates what he means.
It’s hardest for him to speak clearly when it’s something he’s uncomfortable saying. A lot of times he’s like this when emotional. But as he gets more comfortable with you, it’s easier for him to say what’s on his mind. Eventually you become one of the very few people he’s open with.
The longer you two are together, he understands communicating with you better. He figures out how clear he needs to be with you and switches his usual way of talking with language you understand - if anyone catches him talking to you, they find it quite a turnaround from his usual demeanor! And he flirts in ways that you’ll notice. He loves to tease and fluster you and happily figures out how to do that.

Snatcher with an s/o whose love languages are mainly acts of service & gift-giving, and his own love languages (if that's alright)?
Snatcher love languages coming up, here’s how he shows and responds to each of the main love languages!
.
Physical touch: Gentle touches go a long way in making him feel cared for. He feels vulnerable letting himself be touched, so when he’s treated with care he feels a little safer. Petting his head relaxes him. And holding his hand makes him feel fuzzy.
When he’s taken a liking to someone, he’s occasionally touchy with them. As he gets comfortable with you, he touches you more; hell, he’ll manhandle you. He might pick you up at times.
He can be shy about actually cuddling or admitting that he wants to be cuddled, but once you start cuddling him he just melts into you and pulls you closer. When he’s especially tired or in need of comfort, he’ll nuzzle his head against you and hide his face.
.
Quality time: Snatcher likes his alone time, so a big sign that he likes you is him spending time with you. Sometimes he wants your attention, sharing conversation or doing something together. But he’s also fine with simply being close to you, doing different things, just vibing. You may not realize it, but he enjoys your presence in every moment he’s with you, whether you’re engaged with each other or not.
That also means he appreciates you spending time with him. If you keep avoiding him or cutting off time with him, he feels like you don’t like him. Which can lead to him feeling stressed and confused when he asks you to leave him alone. Dude just isn’t good at figuring out what he’s feeling and what will help.
In a little more complicated matter, when he does want to be alone or to have time spent with someone else, it’s really important to him that you let him have that time. That bit of respect and security in being able to be apart comfortably is a good sign that you two are doing well. But at the end of the day, he’s excited to be with you.
.
Words of affirmation: He’s very shy about admitting his feelings, and sometimes trying to voice his thoughts stresses him. He’s more for showing in other ways than telling. But, he sure can make some teasing and flirty comments if it gets you worked up. It’s not something he does often, but sometimes he will genuinely, seriously tell you how he cares about you, spoken or in writing (maybe even a love letter!). He makes sure to speak more if you need to hear it.
He’s easily flustered by your words too. He can get blushy or fidgety if you tell him honest, sweet words. Although, some days they don’t seem to affect him as much, he doesn’t quite believe you’re being genuine. When he knows you’re being serious, he gets butterflies. Honest care goes farther with him than flowery flirting.
.
Gifts: He likes to get you things that he knows you want, or that he thinks you want but haven’t said. These usually are acquired by stealing or some other dubious means but he’ll buy something if he has to. He picks out things of your favorite color or flavor, or something to add to a collection, or he’ll do research on what model is the best. He puts some thought into what to give you so that he’s sure you’ll like it! He sometimes picks up smaller gifts, too, like candy, flowers, a book, that he happened upon and thought you might like. He also lends you books of his. Once he‘s known you a while and really likes you, he‘ll even make you a blanket, scarf, or some other fabric craft!
He really enjoys getting gifts, too. He keeps paper items like letters and drawings in a special cabinet drawer. He has some shelves for books and collectibles. He likes snuggling up in clothes or under blankets. He’s happy to taste food. Honestly, anything you get for him, big or small, he’ll end up using or looking at. Some things he actually is proud to show off! “Y/N got that for me! They have a good eye.” “Y/N made this, actually! Aren’t they talented?” Even when he tries to hide it, he’s visibly excited when you give him something.
.
Service: There are several types of work he doesn’t like to do himself, and he thinks it’s fine to push that on to someone else. But once it’s in the hands of someone he likes, he’s asking them not to do it. Like a sign that he likes you is that he tries to stop you from working, trying to convince you to have someone else do it instead.
And yes, sometimes he ends up doing work he wouldn’t normally do if it means it keeps you from doing it. You hate washing dishes? He doesn’t mind that much, really, it’s fine, he’ll wash them while you do something else, he insists. For big tasks though, he might try to con someone else into doing it. Or, some tasks he can ask one of his minions to do. Whatever the case, he’s not letting you stress yourself with work.
So when most people do work for him, it doesn’t mean much to him. But when you go out of your way to do something for him, he feels cared for. Especially if you do it without prompting. He’ll even give you rewards…meaning he’ll give you kisses and thanks. And if you have the time, you can cuddle and he can help you relax.

May I request Snatcher comforting/taking care of his s/o while they're sick? Thank you so much! 💜
It’s rare he ever sees anyone sick anymore, so it does weird him out a little bit. It gets him fretting a bit over what’s wrong, though he won’t say such. He refers back to what he remembers about how to take care of someone - rest, soup, medicine.
Well lucky for you, Snatcher loves a lazy day. He takes you being sick as the perfect excuse to just hang out at home with you and cuddle. And if you try to get up and do anything, he clings onto you and holds you down, insisting that you have to get rest. If you have work or anything scheduled, he either gets you to call off or he does it for you (just keep in mind he can get a little…threatening when he does it).
He gets cuddly, and will rub your head or back if it helps you. Or he’ll just snuggle himself against you. He tends to feel cool, so if you have a fever his cuddles might help you cool off. He also likes cuddling with you laying on top of him, so if you need to lay in a certain position he’ll offer to hold you like that.
And seeing as he can’t catch anything from you, he can still stay close to you and kiss you with no risk >:3c So if you feel up to kissing he happily gives.
Snatcher is great at keeping track of things, and he knows what you need right now is medication. He sets alarms for you to take it regularly. If you don’t take it or insist you don’t need to, he starts into explaining that unlike him, you have a body that needs to be taken care of, and that you need to do that if you want to go on any more dates. He’s not letting you leave home until you’re better!
Anything you need, he gets it for you. You don’t have to get out of bed if you don’t feel like it - he’ll bring you hot soup, or rice, or whatever you can handle that will be good for you. He’s always asking you if you need more to drink or eat.
Since he’s staying with you all day, he wants to do something together - read, watch a movie, play a game - anything you can both engage in somehow. He’s very happy to read to you, particularly. He might even get so caught up in reading that he won’t notice if you fall asleep.
And nobody better bother him, because he has more important things to be doing today (taking care of you). He puts all business on hold or shoos away potential contractors instantly. You’re more important right now.

Could I please get some hcs for Snatcher with an s/o who's love language is physical affection?
Oh of course you can!
Snatcher quite likes gentle touch, so he'll just melt into every touch you give him.
When you first begin seeing him, he's shy and stubborn about letting himself be touched. He tends to pull away when you touch him.
He quickly realizes though that it hurts you when he does this, so he starts letting you touch him more often. He may stiffen up at first, but almost instantly he leans into it.
You'll find that just the littlest touches - like holding his hand, tracing his wrist, or combing his hair - will make him blush and quiet down.
Gradually he gets more used to these touches, and is not quite as flustered by them. He still sighs and leans into them, though.
He's awkward about cuddling, at first. He doesn't know how to hold you, or to be held. There's a lot of moving around as you try to find a comfortable position. And he gets shy to cuddle with you.
But again, he warms up to it soon enough. He even begins to initiate cuddles by pulling you against him or settling himself on top of you.
He finds that he misses your touch when you're not around. When you first see him after being away, he comes right up to you, maybe even taking your hand or scooping you into a hug, hoping you'll show him some affection.
If you're spending time together and not touching him, he whines. He makes excuses for you to be closer to him, makes whiny noises, even collapses onto you or tugs you against him if you take too long.
He gets used to your touch and craves it!
He likes having you sit with him and cuddle against him in his big chair.
...And making blanket nests and blanket/pillow forts to cuddle in with you.

How would Snatcher and Moonjumper help their S/O relax after a really hard day of work?
Snatcher:
Are you angry at all? Need to vent? Fight him. He welcomes you to roughhouse with him if it helps you release pent up stress. Or, there are targets and other okay-to-destory items around Subcon, he'll show you where you can beat the hell out of something.
He quite dramatically complains with you. So if you tell him about your day, you'll be met with lots of "What!?" and "That's wretched!"
He lets you vent as much as you need, making it clear with his commentary that he's listening. Meanwhile he busies himself making you food he knows you like. If you're still going when it's done, he coaxes you into settling down to eat.
Gives you a back massage. As soon as he can get you seated or laying down, he gets to work, and he won't stop until you're relaxed or ask him to quit.
When you've calmed down enough, he praises you for all the work you did, how strong you are for continuing to push forward despite the stress.
And he’s not letting you do any chores now. He’ll take care of them, don’t worry.
He tries hard to find something to entertain you. He pulls out books, games, anything he can that he thinks will keep you happily occupied and get your mind off what’s bothering you.
.
Moonjumper:
Scoops you up in a hug and tells you "I'm sorry to hear that." The hug will be quick in case it's too much, but if you ask for another or cling to them, they give you a longer hug.
Asks you if you want to talk about it, and if you'd rather they just listen or if they give you some response.
Runs you a bath to unwind. And if you'd like, they'll join you to give you soft cuddles and kisses.
They make you something easy to eat that you like, something simple like tea or rice. They'll wait until you're calmed down to offer any other food.
They do all they can to get you comfy. They'll take you somewhere quiet, they get blankets or pillows or plushies if you'd like, they'll cuddle you, they'll scratch your back or give you a massage, they'll talk to you or sing to you or stay quiet; anything to help you.
They let you vent for a while at first, but then they start shushing you. They don’t want you to get yourself worked up further. Anytime you start to complain again, they just shush you with a gentle kiss.

Can I please get Snatcher and Moonjumper comforting their s/o who feels like they're not good enough for them?
Snatcher: “WHAT?! That’s the most preposterous thing I’ve ever heard, and I’ve heard a lot of preposterous things. What makes you think you’re not in my league? Don’t answer that. It’s true, I may be impressive, but that doesn’t mean I‘m unmatchable. Not just anybody can get my attention, you know.
Darling, I guarantee you that for every attribute of mine you admire, I have one of yours I adore. Heh, I might just have more. And I’m not afraid to tell you each and every one.
You’ll be lucky if I don’t make you repeat everything on my list to yourself three times over so it settles in.
I consider myself very lucky to know you, even more so to call you mine. Maybe I haven’t made that clear enough? I’ll just have to tell you again and again…”
.
Moonjumper: “My stars, darling, is that really how you feel? Have I not shown you my love enough? I’m so sorry, my dear. Of all things to weigh on your mind, your worthiness of my love should never be one.
I love you very much, dear, like I love no-one else. And you are worth that love. Every ounce of it. I don’t regret loving you for a second. Come here, please. Let me hold you, let me show you, and tell you, just how much I adore you. I want you to know it. I want you to feel it. I’ll always be here for you.

Can we get some Empress AHIT spoiling her s/o imagines? I just think she's neat 👉👈
Thank you, and I hope you're having a good day!
Oh anon if you like being spoiled, you’re in luck. This cat’s main way of flirting is spoiling you. It’s a little bit showing off and a little bit giving.
She likes to spoil you with her own jewelry collection. She just picked up this beautiful necklace and she thinks it’s just your style, here try it on and see what you think. Or, any time you’re in her shop, she notices when you have your eye on something and will just give it to you.
Actually, she’s like that with just about anything. If you say you want something, you’re thinking about getting something, if you just look at something a bit longer than everything else, she rushes to get it for you. Whether that’s buying it or getting underlings to steal it. It could be a hundred dollar shirt or it could be an ice cream cone. You want it? You got it.
She will actively encourage you to indulge. Are you sure you want this frozen breaded shrimp from the grocery store when you could go to a nice restaurant and eat some freshly cooked shrimp? Come on, it doesn’t matter if it’s more expensive, you don’t need to worry about the price. A lot of times when picking something for you, she goes with the more extravagant option. But, if something more lowkey is what you really want, she’ll let you have it.
Not only does she spoil you with gifts, shell take care of work for you. You stressed from your job? She can put in a word and pull some strings to put you in a position you want. You hate doing laundry? She’ll hire someone to do it for you, and don’t worry, she’ll make sure they do it right.
She likes to live luxuriously herself and has enough money and power to treat herself often. So that extends to you as well once you have a place in her heart. You deserve to enjoy your life, she insists, so do whatever you want that will make you happy. If you have nice possessions that you don’t use, she encourages you to use them. Drink your apple juice out of a fancy wine glass if you want, eat off of the nice plates, use that fancy bath bomb. You own it, enjoy it! You have pain from stress, injury, or chronic? She sets you up with spa days and/or massages regularly. She likes cuddling up with you, so she doesn’t mind tending to you herself either. If you want to just spend the day lounging at home, she’s happy to curl up with you all day.
She can be affectionate too, and will spoil you that way as well. She’ll compliment you and flirt with you a lot, especially in ways that fluster you the most, or praise for what you‘re insecure about. If you like cuddles, she happily sits you in her lap while she works or cuddles with you. And she’ll give you all the nuzzles, licks, and touches that make you happy.

Can I request Empress from AHIT love languages please? Thank you! Hope you're having a good day!
Quality Time: She has business to attend to often, so she makes sure to cherish the time that she does get to spend with you. She gets affectionate during these times, and you can frequently catch her just staring at you in admiration.
Although she likes to have you with her when she’s working as well, be that sitting on her lap while she’s giving orders, taking you with her to parties and events (although never anything dangerous), or standing with her in her store. She feels powerful when she gets to show you off.
She makes it clear that she enjoys your company and will find time for you, if that’s something you’re concerned about. But if you feel like she’s not spending enough time with you, she’ll try to make up for it with some extra spoiling or having her underlings come check on you when she can’t.
.
Physical Touch: Doesn’t need constant touch, but can be cuddly when it’s affection time. Likes being held, laying her head on you, and nuzzling her face against you.
She also loves kissing you, which for her includes nuzzles and licks as well. She usually holds your face while kissing you. She holds you and handles you gently like that any time she’s being physically affectionate, like she’s treating you as something precious.
And she eats up any affection you show her. She can’t help but purr when you give her attention. Like most cats, she loves a good chin scratch or a scratch behind the ears. She likes also if you play with her hands, pet her back, or play with her hair. She likes a little back massage too, as she gets tense from holding her position so often.
.
Words of Affirmation: She tends to give you small doses of words. She calls you lots of pet names (kitten and darling especially, but may opt for sweetheart, gorgeous, cute thing, my prized jewel, precious, or others) and often. She loves if she can get a reaction from you by calling you such things.
She’ll praise you for anything. She’s often telling you what a good job you did for even the smallest things. And she means it, sometimes she even has moments where she just has to nuzzle you and tell you how proud she is.
She compliments your looks and your outfit often as well, whether you dressed up or you just rolled out of bed. She really thinks you’re beautiful and can’t help but tell you so. And she’ll give you extra attention and praise if she knows you have trouble accepting it.
On the flip side, she loves praise. It means a lot more to her to hear praise from you compared to anybody else. Even though she’s confident in herself, it just melts her to think of your adoration.
It’s rare she gives you long-winded praise, but she’ll give it a try for you. If you do so for her, she gets very flustered! She saves any cards or love letters you send her.
.
Gifts: Absolutely spoils you with gifts. Gets you anything and everything you want and more.
From most people, gifts don’t mean much to her as they’re usually shallow offerings. But from you? Everything is special. It may be intimidating to gift her anything considering how much expensive and luxury items she has access to, but you don’t need anything fancy. As long as there’s thought in it, she loves it.
If you get her a decorative item, a card, a souvenir, etc, she happily displays it at home or in her office. She loves to look at it and think of you. She doesn’t think of herself as a cuddly person, but if you get her anything cuddly (even a plushie!) she cuddles it often. For things like food or tickets, she cherishes her time with whatever it is more simply because it’s from you. She firmly believes food you make or send her tastes better.
.
Acts of Service: She doesn’t think twice about doing little things to make life easier for you. Opening and closing doors for you, pulling out your chair, carrying bags for you, starting a shower or bath for you so it’s warm - all those classic chivalrous things.
This runs a bit with gifts as well-preparing food for you, fetching you something you want.
And when she wants to spend time with you, she doesn’t want distractions. She sets aside, helps you with, or does chores/work for you to get to affection time sooner. Plus, she hates to see you stressed over work.
When you do things for her, it means more to her than all the work her underlines do for her. The fact that you did something for her without being asked is what makes it special. She doesn’t often ask you to do anything for her. She makes sure to give you a thanks, be that in words or kisses.

Join me for a second in thinking about Snatcher being much bigger than you.
Think about holding his hand. You can just wrap your fingers around one of his. Snatcher, meanwhile, can completely envelop your hand in his.
And those big hands can also hold so much of the rest of your body. One hand can cover most of your head. Regardless of your size, he can fit both hands around your waist. He can just pick you up like a cup.
When Snatcher cuddles you, you’re completely surrounded by him.
For those sensual with him:
And when you kiss, those big fangs bump against your lips pretty often.
When your kisses get heated, he can push his tongue rather far…

The Prince (A Hat in Time) X Reader General Romantic Headcanons
.
This romantic guy just loves to make you feel special. He's constantly getting you little gifts and sending sweet words your way.
He praises you a lot. His personal favorite is to send you letters. Even when he's just sending you little life updates, he takes the time to express his love and make the print and paper beautiful.
When he decides to write a proper love note, he makes sure to pick the finest envelope, seal, and ink possible. He shows off his prettiest writing. He draws little hearts all over. He presses a dry flower or a few and tucks those in the envelope, he uses the slightest bit of a scent to give it a lovely smell. And even with a few pages of loving poetic, he says he just can't write out everything he adores about you.
Flowers are a frequent gift. He learns flower language after he starts dating you just so he can send a little message of affection with the gifts. What he gives you will of course depend on the availability of flowers at any time, but he's careful to pick out an arrangement that says what he's feeling.
Although, if there are certain flowers you favor, he'll make sure to gift you those pretty often, regardless of their message.
He also just takes note of what you like, be it something you tell him or how you react to what you see. Whatever your perfect gifts are, he makes the effort to get for you. Cool rocks, homemade treats, or jewelry - he sets aside money, puts in time, whatever he needs to do to give you a special surprise.
You make him incredibly happy and he makes sure you know that.
He can easily be flustered by your attention. When you give him a gift? His heart flutters and he treasures it dearly. He keeps it somewhere special so he can think of you while he looks at it. Pay him compliments or tell your love of him? He suddenly can’t make eye contact, he’s so flustered! He’ll think about what you said for a few days. Or any physical affection? His heart hammers the whole time and he unknowingly leans into your touch.
Kisses are one of his favorite things. He just adores getting them from you, in any fashion. Never wonder if it’s okay to give him a kiss. He always craves kisses.
He absolutely will develop little nonverbal signals with you. Maybe it’s tapping your lips to say you want a kiss, or giving your head a Pat to say you want it rubbed. Maybe it’s three gentle hand squeezes for a silent “I love you,” or a wrist grasp to say “I need to leave.” Sometimes it’s just easier, for either of you, to give those little cues.
It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been together, he routinely tells or leaves you good morning/good night messages.
He likes to have physical reminders of your time together: gifts from you, messages from you that he saved, a craft you made together.
He can get absorbed in his work when he's reading, studying, or writing. He can totally miss things happening around him, so give him a huge if there's something that needs his attention. He doesn't mind and in fact enjoys if you share the space with him or lean against him. He does however like his sessions to be relatively quiet and without disruption.
He likes to give you little updates on what he's doing - something new he learned, a book he started reading or just finished. But he doesn't infodump. He doesn't elaborate more than letting you know the basic of what he's doing/how he feels about it unless you prompt him further.
On the other hand, he loves for you to talk about your interests and activities. He doesn't always ask questions to keep you talking, but he sure likes to listen (you look really cute when you're passionate especially).

can you do an eve x reader with general romantic hcs ? :]
First, before Eve really shows connection with you, she has to get to know you. She doesn't really experience "love at first sight," she develops a crush after gaining some familiarity with you.
That said, she's not against scheduling dates or conversation time with you right off that bat, just don't expect her to immediately hop into giving or wanting affection.
When she does fall for you, though, she falls hard. She finds herself wanting to see you all the time, wondering about everything she doesn't know about you yet and fantasizing about the next time she sees you.
Sometimes she dwells in her head too much - She remembers a lot of details about you, but she also is prone to making assumptions and misinterpreting.
Your opinion is very important to her.
She can be quite forward at times. When she wants your attention (often) she lets you know, be it texting, calling, or showing up. She tends to just go ahead with giving you a kiss or cuddle, holding your hand, calling you pet names, or including you in her activities (such as sending you tickets, or just suddenly calling you and asking you to come join her on an errand or art piece). She doesn’t see the point in beating around the bush and she also just wants that strongly.
She especially delights in flustering you. She could spend all day pulling every trick up her sleeve to get you blushing and stuttering. Your face is adorable when she gets to you.
While she never wants to hurt you, sometimes she acts without realizing she needs a consent check. Just make sure she knows your boundaries and you'll be fine. And be patient if she messes up - try to understand what it is she wants and help her understand what your limits are, then find a way to achieve or imitate what she wants while staying in your boundaries.
She also secretly adores when you fluster her. She’s shy to admit it, but the rush she feels when you catch her off guard and woo her is near addicting. You can best fluster her by giving her raw, sincere compliments, or gifting her something with plenty of thought put into it. Anything you do to show her that you see her and love her as she is, and to show her that she’s wanted.
Every kiss is passionate. They may be light, but there's love behind each one.
She really craves touch, so expect her to be touching you constantly. And when you cuddle, she will not want to leave.
She doesn't use pet names too often, but she sure uses metaphors and flowery language regarding you. She calls you by name fairly often as she just adores the sound of it, but in conjunction will call you something like the stars to her sky or the call of frogs on a spring evening. She tends to find specific metaphors that she brings up over and over, but still she's constantly finding new ways to describe you.
She likes spending time with you, even if you’re each doing a different activity. She loves to include you in everything she does. It won't be long until the public finds out that you're dating - she's not afraid to show you off.
If you'd indulge her, she would love to have you join her in performance or collaborate on some projects. If you're a creative especially she wants to create an artistic experience with you. She's willing to try anything new if you want to introduce her to something.
She really wants to be understood, but she also really wants to understand. She deeply appreciates when you listen closely to her and show, even in little ways, that you pay attention to her. Likewise, she remembers a lot about you, and she wants to listen to you.
She never judges your creative ability. She's happy to see any piece of you that you bear. It doesn't matter the medium or skill - hell, it could be your Animal Crossing island. She just likes to see that you're expressing yourself and trusting her with the presentation.
That said, she would be ecstatic to teach you new skills if you'd like. Not just art forms - fitness, facts, self care, anything.
Nobody can breathe a negative word about you. As far as Nadia is concerned, people who actually have the capacity to learn about each other are rare, and clearly anyone with a brain would see how beautiful you are (inside and out).

How would West help a partner with depression and severe anxiety?
Although in game we pretty much only get to see West as a cheerful guy, know that like anybody, he isn't that way all the time. So of course he doesn't expect you to be either. Sadness, fear, difficulty starting new projects, are all things that can hit anybody. So he's never bothered by seeing you experience any of these moods, he just wants to do his best to help you through it.
When that's a more chronic condition, he works a little harder to understand how he can help you more long term.
For panic, he tries some of the techniques he uses for himself when he's stressed. This includes:
-Meditating. Going to as comfortable of an environment as possible at the time and sitting down. Starting by closing your eyes and focusing on deep breathing before shifting attention to individual stimuli in the environment. Then moving on to opening your eyes and slowly taking in your surroundings.
-Physical comfort. He gives you a long, tight hug. Or he holds your hands and tells you to focus on how your hands feel in his. He might gently massage an area that you're holding tension. He always asks before doing any of these as he's found that sometimes touch feels overwhelming.
-Distraction. He might just cut in suddenly with something bonkers, like reminding you of an inside joke or asking you an absurd question. He might quickly subject hop until he lands on something that snaps you out of your darker thoughts, then keep continuing on that train. Like if he's recalling a memory, he keeps adding onto the story. If he's starting a conversation, he keeps posing thoughts and questions. In this case he switches between talking and asking you questions to keep you mentally engaged. Or if you're at least a bit musically inclined, he might have you try to match a rhythm by tapping your fingers.
-He may also mix any of the above by quickly judging if the current method is working.
After West finds out that you experience this frequently, he'll ask you what he can do in those moments. Do you have a specific method of calming down? He's willing to try it.
He also picks up on your triggers. It may take him a few instances or you telling him clearly, but once he finds out something deeply bothers you, he makes a point to avoid that.
When he's with you, he whisks you away from a situation as soon as one of your triggers comes up. He'll deal with making up an excuse to people later if he has to, but in the moment he just wants to make sure you're okay. And he never tells anyone what was going on with you unless you expressly tell him that he can.
As for planning activities, he just doesn't mention something that aligns with your triggers. He doesn't usually do a lot of research for say movie content, but if an entire event seems like it's a bad idea he either doesn't tell you about it or asks you if you can handle it.
In regards to long-term stress, he'll notice that you can be tired or irritable even on calm days. He likes to take care of his body and so in turn wants to help care for yours. Thus he notices if you're holding a lot of tension when he cuddles you, or if you're getting bags under your eyes.
For muscle tension, he offers a massage. He smoothly runs his hands over tense areas until he finds a spot that you lean into, and then pushes with a gusto.
If you're having trouble sleeping, he just about orders you to take a nap. Whatever work you need to do, he insists upon putting off. Instead, he's gonna set up a cozy spot with lots of soft pillows for you to snuggle in with him. Whether you need to nap for hours or rest your eyes and chat, he doesn't mind staying there for a while to help you feel better (it's nice for him since he gets to spend cozy time with you).
This goes with sleeping at night as well. If it's restless limbs or nightmares, he bets that a sleeping partner will help. If you're comfortable sharing a bed with him, he'd honestly love to spend the night with you anytime. He assures you when you first settle in that he's by your side all night. He'll hold you close and give you gentle rubs to help with restlessness. If your mind won't calm down, he'll tell you a lighthearted story until you drift off. If he finds you distressed from a nightmare, he'll rub your back and whisper comfort to you until you settle down. If he falls asleep, he's not grumpy if you wake him up for help with calming down.
If your anxiety has you worrying about your relationship with West, and you let him know, he's honestly baffled. He adores you and he thought he made that obvious (he is very affectionate, especially verbally). He soon asks you what he can do so that there's no doubt in your mind that you're the only one for him.
West is very open about his feelings for you anyways, but he puts in the conscious effort to double down on his praise of you. Even if it makes him sound like a broken record, he'll tell you again and again how much you mean to him and everything he likes about you if it helps keep your worries away.
He's an active guy. He likes stimulation, especially fun. He especially likes sharing time with those he loves. So he's constantly wanting to hang out with you and rope you into activities.
Some days your motivation may be low, and doing anything, even talking, feels like too much. He certainly gives you lowkey days and alone time, but as he catches on that you may feel that reluctance even when you really need the activity, he insists on you joining him more often.
Maybe you can stay in, but you're at least getting out of bed and helping him cook - unless you want him to burn lunch? Or come on, just put on any clothes you have that aren't pajamas and take a walk with him, he wants to hold your hand so badly while he gets some light exercise.
He also sets up little reward systems for you. "Today, you get a kiss every time you finish something!" or "Of course I'll cuddle you - after you eat."
He loves giving you attention and making you smile, but he'll control himself to wait until you reach a goal if it means helping you through the day.
