the pathologic Kin is largely fictionalized with a created language that takes from multiple sources to be its own, a cosmogony & spirituality that does not correlate to the faiths (mostly Tengrist & Buddhist) practiced by the peoples it takes inspirations from, has customs, mores and roles invented for the purposes of the game, and even just a style of dress that does not resemble any of these peoples', but it is fascinating looking into specifically to me the sigils and see where they come from... watch this:

P2 Layers glyphs take from the mongolian script:

while the in-game words for Blood, Bones and Nerves are mongolian directly, it is interesting to note that their glyphs do not have a phonetic affiliation to the words (ex. the "Yas" layer of Bones having for glyph the equivalent of the letter F, the "Medrel" layer of Nerves having a glyph the equivalent of the letter È,...)

the leatherworks on the Kayura models', with their uses of angles and extending lines, remind me of the Phags Pa Script (used for Tibetan, Mongolian, Chineses, Uyghur language, and others)

some of the sigils also look either in part or fully inspired by Phags Pa script letters...

some look closer to the mongolian or vagindra (buryat) script

looking at the Herb Brides & their concept art, we can see bodypainting that looks like vertical buryat or mongolian script (oh hi (crossed out: Mark) Phags Pa script):

shaped and reshaped...

My roman empire is the fact that Auron legit KILLED Derek by fucking BEATING the absolute SHIT outta him then straight NAILED THAT MOFO ON THE DESK & then straight up went on a date afterwards & had the most heartwarming moment ever with Rook. I know that's not much, but I think about that shit at LEAST once a month.

[shangsclaws]

may I please get a w and m with shang tsung if you're still doing the alphabet requests? thank you so much!

yknow the starting cutscene where shang sits in his booth like a sad wet dog?? yeah. yeah….

also, slight nsfw + angst below the cut

𝑺𝑯𝑨𝑵𝑮 𝑻𝑺𝑼𝑵𝑮

M - Moans: How vocal are they in bed?

The sorcerer is not afraid to practically sing until his throat runs dry. He’s loud because it feels delicious and he knows nothing of shame, and also because he’s been so terribly deprived — prior to his benefactor, to reaching such a suspiciously high position in court, pleasure this delightful scarcely ever came to him. To say that he’s famished is a grave understatement.

Besides his hardly concealed moaning, Shang Tsung does not shy away from demanding his lover to do as he pleases. “Like that,” he’ll groan with reckless abandon, whining as though he were aching with pain, “go faster, my dear”. And if he’s the one inside, the sorcerer somehow always finds elegant praise despite a delightfully scattered mind, vocalizing how heavenly you feel around his throbbing sex. All between desperate, frantic stokes.

W - Whispers: What is something they'll only tell their s/o?

Shang Tsung is beyond resentful of his lowly past as a snake oil salesman. It’s not because he’s sorry for all the people he’s exploited — he simply hates the thought that he could have been without all the gut-wrenching pain of having to fend for himself had it not been for Liu Kang. Only his lover will know how much his past irks him, and how he’s moved to bitter tears whenever he recounts his loneliest, hungriest days.

“I will make that demi-god pay with his life,” the sorcerer whispered gravely, unevenly. The steady voice you knew well wavered for but an instant, and with one look in his dark, absent eyes you saw hot tears threatening to fall. Resolved not to break just yet, however, his eyes searched your face for some semblance of strength.

It wasn’t until he spotted the pity in your frowning lips — pity he despised beyond words — that the sorcerer broke down in tears.

I'm genuinely not sure if i could fully convey how excited I am. This may genuinely be the most ive ever popped off at a Nintendo Direct

Not only are these two obscure-but-beloved games from the Nintendo vault back but the facelift on the first game especially is drop-dead gorgeous. The Another Code duology is immensely important to me and directly connected to the far more well known Kyle Hyde games - Hotel Dusk and Last Window - made by the now defunct CiNG. Nintendo had 0 involvement in these games beyond publishing and they made note of their poor sales back in the day - yet they're back!!!!!! More beautiful than ever!!!!

@animangacreators challenge 3: alphabet challenge ↳ a ⋆ anohana: the flower we saw that day (2011)

"Along with the passing seasons, the flowers that bloom near the street change. I wonder what the name of the flower was that bloomed that one season? It was small, and fluttered slowly. It hurt when I touched it. When I put my nose up to it, it had the slight scent of somewhere sunny. But that scent is slowly fading away. We're all growing up. But that flower is probably still blooming somewhere. Yup. And as for us... that flower has so many wishes."

Pre-death Kyle Spencer SFW alphabet

Trying something new again! Enjoy 💓

Warnings: It’s Kyle so obviously there’s references to parental sexual abuse :(

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Kyle’s really affectionate, he loves to hold you hand when out and about and will also do the casual arm over the shoulder. In private he likes to be close to you too and is always reminding you how much he loves you through little touches and such. He’s not exactly possessive but when he’s around his frat bros he’s extra affectionate to remind them that you’re taken and for them to not try and make a move on you (because he knows what they’re like).

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

Kyle’s pretty easy to talk to so you’d probably meet at some college party and just get talking about the most random things and before you know it you’ve been talking for like 3 hours and realise you really like each other’s company so continue on from there. I feel like Kyle would be the type of friend who you could not speak to or see for a while but once you meet up again it’s as if no time has passed and you continue to get along great.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

He loves a good cuddle! Especially when he’s drunk. When he’s drunk he can’t seem to let you go, his arms are constantly around you and holding you, no matter where you are. If you’re in private chances are that you’ll be wrapped up in his embrace one way or another, whether you’re watching a movie, doing homework or just talking. You can’t seem to let each other go.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Kyle would want to settle down eventually but I think he’d want to take it slow. He’s only young and in college so there’s no rush, but he does want the domestic life one day. He did a lot of cooking and cleaning growing up after his dad left so you can definitely rely on him in the domestic life.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

Kyle would probably invite you over to his place (when his frat bros aren’t there) to do it and would want to have a proper conversation. He wouldn’t want to do it in public in case things got heated if you didn’t take it well but also to save you any embarrassment if someone overheard. He’s very gentle about it and is still considerate of your feelings.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

Kyle would happily get married but he’d want to wait a while and not rush into things. He’d definitely want to finish college first before even considering it. Even if he’d already proposed he’d want to wait until he had a good job to tie the knot so that he could afford to give you the wedding of your dreams.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

Kyle is very gentle both physically and emotionally and he is always checking to make sure that you’re okay, that you’re comfortable, that you’re happy etc. It’s his top priority. He’s always gentle when touching you, even during sex, because he wants you to feel as comfortable and safe as you can do.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

If Kyle’s having a bad day, whether that’s getting a bad test score or something more serious with his mum, he will always come to you for a hug. He says that your hugs are the best remedy in the world.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

Kyle would originally want to wait for the right moment to say I love you. He knows he loves you, but he wants to wait until he’s sure that you feel the same since he doesn’t want to face the heartbreak if you don’t. I feel like Kyle is the type of person to plan a nice date to build up to saying I love you but would then let it slip out accidentally in the most random moment.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

Kyle can get a little jealous if he sees his frat bros flirting with you (because we all know they would) but he has faith in you so tries not to get too upset or angry. He’ll probably say something to them afterwards, remind them that you’re his partner, but any negative feelings about the situation would not be aimed at you in any way.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

I feel like Kyle is quite the quick peck sort of guy. Like he’ll always be giving you a quick kiss on the cheek or forehead (or nose 🥺) as part of his way of showing love and affection. He’ll do it at the most random moments where you’re not expecting it. That doesn’t mean that’s he’s not on board for a good make out session though! If you’re in private he’s always ready to have one.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

Kyle probably did a bit of babysitting when he was in high school so he’s relatively good with children, but mostly older children. Hand him a baby and he’ll be pretty clueless but let him hang out with a couple of six year olds and he’s great and they love him.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

Mornings with Kyle are kinda lazy. He’s still just a guy in his late teens/early twenties so can take a lot of coercing to get up in the morning. If you want him to get up early you usually have to tempt him with something (sometimes it’s bacon, sometimes it’s ‘other things’)

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

Curled up in bed watching a movie is how your nights usually end up. Chances are Kyle will end up asleep before the movie is over, cuddling you tightly. Every time Kyle will be like “I won’t fall asleep this time, I promise” but get to half way through the film he’s sleeping. You’ll try and wake him up and he’ll just be like “I am watching it, I’m just resting my eyes” before falling back asleep.

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

Obviously Kyle has a pretty big and awful secret which would take a lot of bravery for him to reveal. It takes a while for him to reveal it but when he does it all comes out at once and he gets quite overwhelmed when he says it.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

Kyle’s pretty good at not getting angry at you, another thing he wants to avoid because of how his upbringing was. He wants you to be as comfortable as possible in your relationship so doesn’t want to do anything to sabotage that. However, he can lose his patience with other people a lot easier if they do something wrong/he doesn’t agree with, especially if it involves you.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

Kyle likes to think he remembers everything about you but in all honesty he forgets a fair bit of stuff but doesn’t realise that he’s forgotten it? Like he straight up won’t even remember they you’ve told him it so to him it. He remembers the main things like your birthday, anniversary etc. but you could tell him something more trivial and he’s straight up forgotten it within a month.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

He’ll always remember how kind and accepting you were when he told you about his mum. He was worried about telling you in case you thought he was gross and that you wouldn’t want to be with him anymore but you just sat and listened and held him and reassured him that none of it was his fault and that you still loved him and he’d never felt so safe with someone in his life. That’s his favourite memory.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

Kyle is obviously going to be protective, given the trauma he has gone through. He never wants you to feel vulnerable the way he has for a big portion of his life. He wants you to feel safe and protective. He knows that you can probably take care of yourself but that doesn’t stop him from wanting to be there for you to make sure that you’re never scared or hurt. And there will sometimes be days where he needs you there for him, where he’s having a really bad day and he just wants you to hold him close and tell him everything is going to be okay and be the one to protect him. You protect each other.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

Kyle would try and put as much effort in to make things special, but given that he’s a college student and from a poor area he doesn’t always have the money to do so. Sometimes this can make him feel a little useless, like he can’t treat you to nice things, but you remind him that expensive things don’t matter and that you’re happy just being with him. When it comes to anniversary gifts he will often try and make something for him and even though chances are it will end up being a mess you love it anyway because you can see how much love and effort went into it.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

Sometimes Kyle can be a little closed off if he’s having a bad time, even after he’s told you about his life. This will be one of the only times he’ll snap at you but is then super apologetic and upset with himself afterwards.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

Kyle’s not overly bothered about his appearance but he does like to make sure that he looks neat and tidy, for example he will always make sure his hair is brushed and not a complete mess. However, if he’s got somewhere important to be he will put in the time and effort to make sure he looks smart and presentable to give off a good impression so that people will have faith in him.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

You make Kyle feel safe and loved, so without you he would definitely feel like a piece of him is missing. You’re his safety blanket, the person he can go to if the world is getting a little too much for him. He needs that.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

This is kind of sad but Kyle can’t have a girl be on top during sex unless he’s 100% comfortable with them and trusts them completely because of the things that happened with his mum. That position has too many bad memories for him :(

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

Kyle really doesn’t like impatience in a partner, or someone who wants to rush straight into things. Kyle likes to take things slow and steady until he’s fully comfortable so someone who doesn’t have the patience to work with him is a no go. He also just doesn’t like rude or insensitive people in general and just wishes everyone would be respectful of one another.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)

Once you start sleeping over you realise Kyle can be very clingy in his sleep and likes to hold you close. Sometimes he likes you to hold him close instead. You don’t start sleeping over until he’s fully comfortable in your presence on an intimate level so at this point he feels both in your arms and with you in his arms and struggles to sleep any other way.

Dandy Mott Yandere Alphabet

A = Attachment (How do they show their love and affection? How intense would it get?)

Dandy shows his love by buying you extravagant gifts, mostly and it can get ugly if he doesn’t think you appreciate it enough.

B = Blood (How messy are they willing to get when it comes to you?)

So messy. That doesn’t matter to him in the slightest. Someone bothering you? Not anymore they can’t.

C = Clingy (Do they require your attention at all times? How do they act when you ignore them?)

He cannot stand to be ignored. Any time he’s around he expects your full and enthusiastic attention.

D = Dependent (Are they codependent? Do they want you to rely solely on them for your care/protection?)

Dandy will be very upset if you turn to anyone but him to protect you. He’s very codependent and despite his outward confidence, also insecure.

E = Excess (Would they spoil or pamper you? To what extent?)

He’d spoil you rotten. Any wish or whim and whatever it is, it’s yours.

F = Fatal (Would they kill you? Kill for you?)

He would kill you but only if you pushed him to it. And then he’d probably kill himself afterward. And he’d certainly kill for you with ease and he’d enjoy it.

G = Give Up (What are they willing to sacrifice for you?)

Really, next to nothing. He’ll say he sacrifices for you, but it’s not anything that he’ll ever actually miss.

H = Harsh (How do they take to you mouthing off to them or saying something they don’t want to hear?)

He’ll lash out at you, maybe even slap you which he’ll regret and try to make up for later.

I = Inseparable (What are they like when you’re not with them? Do they check in on you constantly, or feel lost without you?)

Unless it’s his idea, it’s rare for Dandy to not be with you. He totally feels lost without you and tries not to stay away for any length of time.

J = Jilted (How do they act when met with rejection from you?)

Childish rage. He’ll throw an outright temper tantrum. Then he’ll forget about it and start from scratch until you eventually do accept him.

K = Kidnap (Would they ever abduct you just to have you to themselves for a while?)

He definitely would. You’re his prize, and once caught, you’ll be kept in his house unless he took you out himself.

L = Lines (Do they cross lines with you? What ones? Is it something they know they’re doing?)

Dandy will cross any line he has to. He tells you he hates to, but you know it’s a lie. He’ll do whatever he wants whether you like it or not.

M = Manipulation (Would they manipulate you? How? And would you realize that’s what was happening?)

He won’t really manipulate you, simply because he’s deluded enough to think you’ll already do exactly what he wants when he wants.

N = Naive (Do they like you pliant or do they prefer you to challenge them?)

He doesn’t like a challenge, so staying pliant and agreeable is your best way of staying safe around him.

O = Ownership (Do they feel possessive of you? How do they act when you’re around others?)

He’s 100% possessive of you. You’re his and his alone. He doesn’t even like anyone to set eyes on you if he can help it.

P = Petulant (Are they moody? Easy to anger? Or are they patient and forgiving around you?)

He’s very moody and extremely easy to anger. He does put on a very sweet act around you but it can turn on a dime.

Q = Quit (Would they quit any of their behaviors for you if you asked?)

No. God no. You’re just his pet, his possession. He’s not going to change for you.

R = Rules (Would they have rules for you? Brainwash you? Teach you the right way to be theirs?)

His main rule is to never leave the house. And he’d teach you all of the correct ways to be his. If you don’t follow them, you can expect serious anger.

S = Stalker (Would they stalk you? How far would it go?)

Before he brought you home, he for sure stalked you. It’s how he became so fascinated with you in the first place.

T = Target (What do they wish to do to you? How twisted are their ideals?)

He just wishes to have you, to look at you like you’re some kind of doll and to make you love him.

U = Utopia (How much effort do they put into making you happy?)

He puts a fair amount of effort into keeping you happy. But he doesn’t like it when you’re not appreciative of those efforts.

V = Violence (Would they ever be violent with you?)

Probably, yes. He’s prone to violence, but he’ll always get all sweet again and promise you he didn’t mean it.

W = Will (Would they ever do anything against your will?)

Certainly. He’s only concerned with his own will, so get on board or face the consequences.

X = Xoanon (Would they revere or worship you? To what length would they go to win you over?)

He would revere you as the pinnacle of his collection. And he’d go to great lengths to win you over so that you stayed his forever.

Y = Yowl (Do they ever make you cry? Do they enjoy your tears?)

He has made you cry, but he doesn’t like to see your tears. He’ll kiss or sometimes lick them away and soothe you, even if he’s the one that caused them moments ago.

Z = Zenith (Would they ever break you just so you’d stay with them?)

Yes. If there was no other way you’d stay and behave, he’d break you so you would.

Cove's Alphabet SFW

The safe-for-work version of Cove Holden's Alphabet is finally here! Enjoy my lovelies. (Took so much longer to write because it has over double the word count than the NSFW one <3) ALSO! This version is for all genders, so if you find something that is tailored specifically to a woman or male, lmk and I'll correct it :)

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?) Cove loves to hold your hand and do the little thumb thing where he rubs it against the side of your hand. He often holds your hand whenever you two are around each other, no matter the circumstance. You two are walking to a beach? He’ll hold your hand. He’s kissing you? He reaches for your hand. It’s a little intimate act that doesn’t make him embarrassed, and it means a lot to be able to stay within arms reach of you at all times. He also has a thing for placing his lips somewhere where you did or eating a portion of food where you also ate part of it. For example, if you two are out on a little date night and you both get different desserts, he will ask to try whatever dessert you’re eating only because he likes the idea of indirectly kissing like this. If you offer him any food, he will almost always put his mouth not directly, but on half of the area you already bit out of rather than on the opposite side of the food, like a sandwich.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?) You two met when you both were very young, obviously, and you two bonded more over how Cove didn’t know how to deal with his trauma with his family's divorce and moving to a new place. If we are sticking with this idea, he grew fond of you very quickly because you were the first person he met in Sunset Bird, and you always tried your best to include him in different activities or to spend one-on-one time with him to learn about his interests; he naturally also began doing that with you too! If we are wanting to be a bit annoying and say you two really became friends in step 2 or 3, he already knew you since he often saw you when he went to the beach and because you lived right across the street. He made small gestures like offering you a drink (A Caprisun or something) and you would accept it. Or.. he would ask you something about school since you two went to the same one, like: "MC, um… do you happen to know how to solve for x?" or "I’m stuck on my fourth quote. Can you help me find something to use? I looked so many times, but nothing fits with my topic sentence." Of course, you would always help him because you either had no clue yourself or because you were better at the subject he asked about, which allowed you two to bond more often. When helping him with something, he always got sidetracked by pointing something out about your room or telling you something that went on in his day and wanting your opinion about it. Regardless of when you both became friends, he always had little inside jokes with you, and you both often wore them out too quickly, or he would always tell you random facts he learned about the sea, like: "Did you know jellyfish are just floating blobs and they don’t think?" or: "The male seahorse actually gives birth instead of the female one, so do you think that means they still have the same lower regions like humans or do you think it’s swapped?" Regardless, there is always something stewing in Cove’s mind that he is more than happy to ask you about.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?) Cove is an absolute sucker for cuddling—just not in his bed. You two have cuddled on multiple occasions when you were both friends, such as when the two of you watched a movie together, he often sat next to you, and somehow you both ended up falling asleep, his head resting on yours. If the two of you are dating, he often gets too flustered to sleep next to you in his bed because he can get very flustered when being absolutely alone with you and in such intimate proximity. He often lets you cuddle him when the two of you are just relaxing at his house on a couch, or if he is exhausted from his work shift, he will make a beeline for your house after work and rest his head on your lap while mindlessly telling you about the random shenanigans of his work day. (Bonus points if you put Cove’s front hair into a ponytail or if you just thread your fingers through his hair, which often makes him blush due to how good it feels.)

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?) At some point, he wouldn’t be against moving in regardless of you two being friends, dating, or engaged. He won’t ever tell you he is a bit of a messy person, and you will find out the exact day you move in that he is a little bit of a slob. He doesn’t leave random dishes around, but he has random shirts strewn across his room, and sometimes he’ll leave dishes unwashed for days, but he eventually gets to doing it. He also barely uses his closet. He often just picks out shirts and pants from the basket he threw them in after washing his clothes, rather than putting them away like a civil human being. (You’ll just have to deal with the sand problem because somehow, regardless of whether he was going swimming that day, he tracks sand into the main entryway.) He also cannot cook for shit, but he can prepare miscellaneous foods that his mom taught him to cook, like chicken or tacos. His cooking abilities are very limited, but if there is a food you really enjoy, he will take the time while you are out to figure out how to cook it and eventually master it and cook it for you one night to impress you.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?) Cove would always try to fix any problems between you two, but if things just became too much to bear, i.e: you constantly cheating on him or you doing something he’s told you make him uncomfortable too many times, he will find a way regardless of what you did to be nice until the end. He would sit you down wherever you live and have a genuine calm conversation with you, and when it gets to the point where he has to say the five words (We need to break up), he begins to tear up himself. During the whole conversation, he will hold your hand to try and comfort you, but really, it’s him coming to terms that it will be the last time he will be doing something like that with you or whoever he is breaking up with. After the conversation is done, which probably takes an hour and a half because he often beats around the bush, he will leave and beat himself up for the next couple of days before he gets over it.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?) Cove would definitely love to make you his wife/partner/husband at some point after you two are somewhat stable. Depending on when you propose to him or he proposes to you (If step 3), he prefers to stay engaged to you for a couple years before marrying you, then wait a little while longer before having kids. If you have issues or you just prefer not to be married, Cove totally understands, and he is willing to treat you like his forever partner, even if you both aren’t engaged. Ideally, Cove would like to marry you on the spot because you have such a chokehold on him, but, realistically, you two get married when you canonically would, so around 24. Regardless of when you get engaged, he will wait a couple years or whenever you are ready to settle down.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?) More often than not, Cove is a gentle person over a rough one. Especially when the two of you are getting intimate, he will always stay really gentle—more so the first couple of times—but he will treat you with respect. Physically, he always tries to gently hold your hand or caress your cheek gently before you two kiss to make things not only more sensual but also more comfortable. Emotionally, he will often not directly address an issue between you two but instead hint at it, trying his best to not hurt your feelings, even if he is the one annoyed by whatever.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?) Cove loves hugs. He isn’t an overhugger, but he won’t ever turn you down if you ask for one. Especially if he is sad about something, he will cling to you like a sloth to a tree, crying into your shoulder, because we all know he is a bit of a crybaby. (In the best way possible, of course.) He often goes under rather than over, so he can hold your waist and put his face down on your shoulder. If you are sad and need a hug, he will always tightly hold you (especially if you have sensory issues) and keep you pressed against him while gently rubbing circles with his palm into your back. If you two are being intimate, the first thing he will do after you two finish is hug you tightly, even if it was a quickie and you needed to leave ASAP.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?) He didn’t want to spring the three words on you too quickly in case you weren’t comfortable with admitting that to him yourself, so he waited, but also because he was a little nervous himself to admit he had such strong feelings for you. After 1 to 3 months, he will accidentally let it slip once. The very first time he said it to you was when you two were having a mini movie night at his house and the two of you were cuddled up on one of the main floor's couches, sharing a fleece blanket. At some point during the movie, you two end up kissing, and after he pulls away he rubs your cheek with his thumb gently and looks into your eyes before whispering under his breath: "God, I love you so much…". Your eyes almost popped out of your head when he said that, and when the words processed in his head, his hand that caressed your cheek instantly went to his mouth. You look a bit anxious yourself, reassuring him that it was adorable (Bonus points if this is when you also tell him you love him for the first time). You put your hands on either side of his head, sitting on your knees now, and you tell him how you are so glad he told you, and it means so much to you that he was finally able to say it. This makes you wonder, though: how many times before did he think about saying I love you in his head but never verbally?

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?) Cove is pretty good when it comes to jealousy, so he won’t ever get nervous when you have any guy or girl friends (Depending on your gender and your sexuality). He believes in loyalty and faith, so he puts his full trust in you, but when someone flirts with you and you play into it a little, whether you’re aware of it yourself or not, he will shift over to you and put a hand on your waist, or he will pull a: "How’re you feeling [insert pet name you enjoy], good, I hope?" and he gives you a kiss on the forehead. This is usually enough to shut whatever down, but if it isn't, he will begin glaring at whoever is flirting with you, and he will insert himself into whatever conversation, acting a bit passive-aggressive because whoever wasn’t taking the hint.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?) Usually, Cove gets nervous with PDA, so the kisses you share are often short and sweet, such as quick pecks on the lips or a few seconds, but he makes up for it by following up with a kiss on your cheek. When the two of you are alone, the kisses are usually more lengthy, and he likes giving you quiet praise after you two finish (exactly how he accidentally let ‘I love you’ slip because it was natural). He likes to be kissed anywhere, honestly. On his head, hand, arms, chest, stomach, and, if you’re feeling a bit risque, on his inner thighs. Every kiss you give him, he cherishes, regardless of the placement. He often likes to kiss your cheeks, forehead, and the back of your palm. If he is feeling a bit risque, then he likes to give you kisses on your ankles (Bonus points if you are wearing an anklet).

L = Little ones (How are they around children?) You’d think he would get flustered around kids, but he is surprisingly good with them because Derek would sometimes bring Nico and Jorge over to Cove’s place, or Cove would go over to help watch them. Derek showed Cove the different tactics Nico often pulled to get his way, and he made sure to tell Cove all the important details about children, such as how to entertain them and what things to keep away from them. Cove can often handle children, even when they do gross things such as pick their noses or poop in their diapers, which he often takes care of himself, and if you two choose to have a child, he will be the primary one to take care of that. If you two have children or adopt, he is definitely the type to cry when you point out how old they're getting, even if they are 2.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?) Cove will often wake up a bit late, such as 10–11 am if he isn’t needed to go out anywhere, and he likes cuddling with you even while you both are awake in bed. He could spend a whole day just not getting out of bed and shifting positions with you in bed because he enjoys your warmth. If you are more of an early bird, he will often tighten his arms around your waist and keep you close to him, nuzzling his nose into the crease of your neck until you shake him off. If you two don’t spend the night together, you often go over to his house and wake him up by tugging at his hair, to which he will grab your hand and pull you closer to him if the two of you are dating. He won’t realize what he did at first, but when he does, he will get flustered and turn over, apologizing. He is slow to get out of bed and to brush his teeth, so his hair often goes unbrushed until after breakfast, unless you decide to brush it for him (Bonus points if you give him head kisses while you brush his hair).

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?) If you two are dating, he won’t bring up sleeping next to each other but instead ‘cuddle before you go home’. You don’t tell him, but you love it when he is so nervous about this because if he had just asked you directly, it wasn’t as if you’d turn him down anyway. He tries to stay up as late as you do, so if you go to sleep early, he will often watch a show or something while playing with your hair and giving you the occasional head kiss. He also loves nuzzling your nose when you’re sleepy, don’t ask him why, he just does. If you often stay up late, then he will try his best to stay by your side, whether he falls asleep in your bed or is sitting down beside your desk on the floor and falls asleep with his head against the seat of your chair. You will wake him up when you’re done, and he groggily gets up, clinging to you until you get in bed. Even if you need to change into pajamas, he will often just lend you his shirt, regardless of whether he has a spare, so you can lay down quicker with him. Or, if you need to brush your teeth, he will have his hands across your stomach and his head on top of yours / on your shoulder until you're done, and then he gets a little giddy when you tell him you’re done, laying down with him.

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?) You two were friends before you both began dating, so you already knew a lot about him. If you ask him anything, he doesn’t mind telling you (especially if you ask him when you’re making/getting him a gift, he’ll pretend he has no idea why you’re asking him the question just to see your happy face when you give it to him). He isn’t a closed-off person; instead, he is more of an open book, but he is a bit nervous to tell you about what he likes intimately (Canon), but he will tell you in a quiet voice. Don’t ask him to repeat what he likes in intimate scenarios after he tells you once or twice in the same conversation because he will get too flustered and shut down. It’s a bit of a turn-on for him when you know all the little things about him, so he often mentions if he likes something mid-conversation if you two are on the topic about it.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?) He is a pretty patient guy. Obviously, if you don’t understand something he doesn’t mind re-explaining it to you, and he actually finds it funny if you need something repeated more than twice. He is also patient when you get ready for dates if you’re the type to take over an hour to get ready. He enjoys sitting in the bathroom with you and watching you put on makeup (If you put it on) or style your hair / put it up. (If you do.) If you two are meeting up for a date, then he will wait all day for you, but how could you ever leave him waiting?

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?) For Cove, it’s a mix of it all. There are weirdly specific things he memorizes about you, like if you don’t like a specific condiment or if you put your hair behind your ear / tie it up when you are looking down at something, but he can’t remember your favorite color some days. If you bring up a music artist you often listen to, he will silently remind himself to keep it in mind, and he will write it down on his phone’s notes app so he doesn’t forget. He won’t tell you, but it got to the point where his notes app had too long of a list, so he switched over to Google Docs, and he has over 3 pages worth of information about what you like/dislike and why. Things he specifically memorizes are physical stuff about you, like your favorite jewelry or how you like to dress. When the two of you go out and spend a day together or go on a date, he, for some reason, counts the number of different pieces of jewelry you wear (if you do), as if you’ll ask him at the end of the night.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?) Every day with you is something special to Cove, so it would be hard for Cove to choose a specific moment, but back when you two were younger (Step 2) and you two went on that road trip, he’s really fond of the entire trip because he not only enjoyed the get-together and mix of your families, but he also likes that you specifically wear anklets for him now on because that was when you first found out he liked them. Despite him hitting his head on the top of the RV, he finds it funny now, and he can make fun of his little self for how flustered he was. (Bonus points if you tell him he isn’t any different currently.) (Bonus bonus points if you do something that makes him extremely flustered to prove your point.)

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?) Typically, Cove would prefer to handle things with words rather than physically needing to deal with someone, so if someone were to badger you or annoy you, he would put his arm in front of you and be straightforward with a stern voice. Cove believes you can handle yourself for the most part, but he will always step in if you give him a glance or if you seem overwhelmed by someone. Typically, when Cove talks about something important, he beats around the bush a bit, but he won’t ever stand for someone disrespecting you. He will make sure you feel safe, and after everything is dealt with, he'll give you many kisses.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?) Cove is definitely dedicated to any and all relationships he was/is in, so no matter what, he will remember your birthday, the time you two had your first date, and your anniversary, making sure to give you something or take you somewhere on that day. Just as it is important to you, it’s important to Cove to celebrate the days you both start a new beginning with each other, even if it’s a small step like when you two first kissed. (A little HC is that on your birthday he had a small gift he gave to you when the two of you were alone, and it was an anklet in your favorite color.) If there is something you typically need as an everyday thing, such as a hug, compliment, kiss, or even simple good morning/goodnight texts, Cove will make sure to pick up on those habits and do them as much as possible.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?) Canonically, Cove often wipes his hands on his shorts, so multiple of his shorts have tiny stains on them. Staying on the food topic, Cove definitely is also a bit of a messy eater, leaving crumbs around his lips and on his shorts/pants after a meal. (Bonus points if you wipe it off for him.) (Bonus, BONUS points if you wipe a condiment off the side of his mouth and then lick it off your finger.) Cove also gives off naive vibes, so if you lie about something such as, "Cove, did you know that if you sneeze with your eyes open, they’ll pop out of your head?" Cove at first didn’t believe you, but the more he thought about it, the more he freaked out about it, and he now makes sure to always close his eyes.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?) For the most part, Cove is pretty laid-back about his appearance, but he always makes sure he is wearing matching clothes. Somehow he never wears matching socks, but that’s beside the point. Something that he is a bit more strict about is his hair, though. He can spend roughly 10 minutes just trying to make his hair sweep around his cheeks properly because the night before he slept on it funny. He groans when it doesn’t look normal in the mirror after the first initial brushes, and then he increasingly feels the need to make it perfect before his dad or you usher him out of the bathroom.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?) Nope. Plain and simple, if he ever lost (as in died), he would never be able to forgive himself if he ever moved on from you, and he would spend the rest of his life indulging in the things you liked and weren’t able to do yet. On a less intense note, though, he doesn’t like to go more than a week without speaking to you, especially when he goes to visit his mom. As you are his childhood best friend, you are probably—no, definitely—the most important thing in his life, regardless of whether the two of you end up dating. He often spends a lot of his time just thinking about you, if not hanging out with or talking to you. He has a life outside of you with other friends and his parents, but a lot of his life is surrounded by you, and he wouldn’t have it any other way because you’ve made such an impact on him.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.) Cove is the type to overload you with different memes and tiktoks. Even if the two of you are sitting next to each other, he will either text you a tiktok or send it to your account and watch your reaction. At the end of the day, if you don’t avidly keep up with his messages, you’ll end up with around 30 messages—if not more from Cove just consisting of tiktoks that are the ones that say ‘Us’ and then a picture, or a tiktok of a random fact if you are a girl, and ask "IS THIS TRUE???" and then send a tiktok of a girl peeling her skin off, explaining that she needs to shed her old skin on her period.

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?) Canonically, Cove dislikes people who often push back plans or don’t follow through with them, such as pushing a date back multiple times because you wanted to hang out with your friends. He also dislikes people who won’t accept help and who are adamant about not accepting any sort of gift from him. He is the type to spoil his partner, and if you won’t accept any of his gifts, that will often put him down and make him uneasy. Something else that would irk Cove, since he is a bit of a messy person, is if his partner was someone super strict about cleaning or organization and pushed their rules onto him, he would be reluctant to date you, knowing his habits would make you frustrated and him too.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs?) Cove love, love, loves to cuddle when he finally gets comfortable sleeping in the same bed/area with you. He ideally likes to cuddle where the two of you are facing each other or where one of you has your head in the other's chest while holding each other. If he is having a rough day, he definitely sleeps on his stomach and tends to shift positions a lot at night. He also has a habit of quietly snoring if you two do a lot in the day or after the two of you were intimate. Don’t ask me why, but Cove definitely is a blanket hog, but after you wake him up to have him give you some of the blankets, he will sleepily and excessively apologize.

Adair just had his birthday (and I need to start a new save file) so it's time for the first heir voting in the Alphabet Legacy! Here are some short descriptions of the three! Adora dreams of becoming a pro ghost hunter. She doesn't mind getting scared every now and then - she's kind of a daredevil, and she's a bit eccentric, anyway. She hates modern technology and loves to spend time outside, preferably with other sims. She's strong and independent, but would love to have a family of her own one day, too.

Ambrose wants to become a chess master. He's very smart, charismatic and friendly. He loves to meet new people (especially women!) and to hang out in trendy spots. Everything comes easy for him, as he's a lucky sim! It does not pair up well with his absent-mindedness, though!

Adair is the most creative of the siblings. He is a very good guitar player and a brush master, already making some nice money out of his paintings. He can sleep through anything, and he loves to munch on a good snack. Adair likes to keep everything around his nice and neat, and can't stand sims that make a mess around themselves.

The voting lasts for ~20 hours, depending on when I'll be able to check in here to see the results :)
