3. Which headmates were enemies at first and now best friends and/or a couple?
This question screams leviathan/fairy as their social relationships lend themselves towards this, but we don't have enough information in the collective consciousness actually know (Avionx is currently trying this as a thing with Almonium, so there's that).
But would say Kosavar/Achilles, an "elf" (he's a vampire) and nature spirit (factive of fall) who have a friends-with-benefits situation over a giant cursed pumpkin patch in the Everwoods. Kosavar dislikes/distrusts everyone by nature, and is mischievous, so the fact he could come together with anyone for the sake of neighborly gardening cursed fruit is noteworthy.
7. Which headmates have the most unique music taste?
Unique is slightly hard to pin, being relative as it is. But we would probably say people who are really into our more niche vocaloid stuff? Which is like Ollie, Grip, and Chrellys. We've never met someone IRL who was also into it, so that may be relative.
Then again, Agony should get some credit for having Mambo Number 5 with bikehorns as in his top 5 songs (found on youtube, it's an experience).
11. What are some pet peeves headmates have about other headmates?
Mainly this comes in the form of having very different ways to describe things/think things that end up being incompatible in sometimes really petty/seemingly insignificant ways.
Like PB called something "white" and got corrected (?) by another guy "it's cream-colored" and that irritated PB enough for them to stop being front-compatible (off the principle that cream is absolutely a shade of white and it's insufferable for someone to suggest otherwise).
15. What headmate has the weirdest (/pos) way of talking/typing?
We tend to have more noticeable differences speaking than typing. Some of us have REALLY notable accents. Would say Kgder (an alligator) has the weirdest accent, because it cuts between a British accent (something close to east yorkshire) and an Icelandic (american leaning) accent. And not particularly smoothly.
Thanks for the ask!

Would Zeke dab on the haters
Hey- Glass here.
Zeke was confused by this question, so I’ll take it. Zeke doesn’t know what dabbing means, so I showed him and he just stared at me.
Zeke doesn’t dab on haters; he punches them in the face directly.

Writing Characters with Glasses
Glasses are one of those components in writing that one just knows whether the writer has any experience with or not from the offset. So how do we write glasses-wearing characters or characters with impaired vision?
What is your character's eye strength?
Now, you don't have to know your character's exact diagnoses but you should know what sightedness your character has. Near-sighted means your character has trouble seeing things far way but can see things up close. Far-sightedness means a character can see things better in the distance than they can in before them.
Typically, one eye can be weaker or stronger than another, so a lense may be slightly thicker or slimmer than the other. Myself, my left eye is much weaker than my right.
Wearing Glasses
Typically when you wear glasses, you start to ignore the frames in your peripheral vision, however if you may notice it more if you haven't been wearing your glasses for a while.
Also when you change lenses, your sight is funny for a while. Things, like the fucking ground itself, seem a lot closer which can lead you to feel very disoriented. Its best to break glasses in gradually, in the words of Our Lady, Theresa Manion, "Do not make unnecessary journeys, do not take risks on treacherous roads..."
Glasses can get dirty and smudged very easily and do require cleaning. You may often see somebody wipe their glasses with their shirt tail but this isn't always effective, some fabrics just worsen the issue. Dry tissue paper is the best or a glass cloth. Frames also should be cleaned too.
Glasses tend to fog up when it rains, when you sweat or when you're somewhere steamy or drinking/eating something really hot. It can be a nuisance but it usually won't impair your vision that much.
Glasses can strain your eyes and start to chafe after a while. Long periods of wearing glasses can make your eyes start to ache (it always happens to me) and the best thing to do is just remove them and rest your eyes. The frames can also rub against the tops of your ears or the bridge of your nose.
People who need glasses tend not to remove them very often. If your vision is very bad, you won't be whipping your glasses off at every opportunity like Horatio Caine. If you only need reading glasses or need glasses for specific tasks you, wouldn't wear them 24/7 as it can further damage your eyes (I did this and now I can barely see 4ft ahead of me).
You can do tasks without your glasses but you do feel more cautious, especially if you have difficulty making out details. Glasses usually make you more comfortable in situations.
And as for the whole pushing up glasses when they slip (and they do slip but gradually), there's no right way or wrong way. Personally, I adjust by moving the entire frame between my thumb and forefinger so I don't smudge the lense. But pushing it up by the bar that crosses your nose is also effective.
When you're not wearing glasses
Not wearing glasses isn't delibiltating if your character's sight isn't majorly mad. As I mentioned before, they can still carry out tasks. But not wearing glasses can leave you a little unsure and sometimes disoriented.
Most people can still see without glasses, things just aren't as focused. For me, things get very fuzzy especially if they are far away but I can still make out the shape - for example, I can see how many fingers you're holding up but not your ring. I can do a lot of tasks without glasses.
When you're not wearing your glasses, you do tend to squint which can help you see a little better or tend to lift things to your eyes to see them better.
Characters wearing glasses
If your character loses their glasses in a fight, they won't be unable to fight back. They can likely still see some things.
Glasses hurt when knocked from your face, you can cut or bruise from a blow to the glasses. (it's happened to me which is why I have a massive scar on my forehead).
Your character will likely dislike going to the optician. Getting your eyes looked into by a stranger with a torch is irritating. Buying new glasses is a long drawn out hellish experience.
Breaking your glasses will upset your character, mainly because they're expensive. A character may opt to get the glasses fixed instead of replaced.
Your character will keep their glasses near at all times. Sleeping, they will be in reach. In the shower, they will be somewhere close by. Glasses may your more confident in your ability so they will always be near.
Also your character will likely not store their glasses in a pocket (they can break) or on their heads (your hair can smudge the lenses).
If your character has one of those early 2000s rom-com moments where their glasses are removed so the world can see their "true beauty", yeah that isn't a thing. Now that person can't fucking see.
Also, your character will likely hate anybody grabbing their glasses or wanting to try them on.

Scosage is so funny to me in how they are have a recurring theme opposites who meet in the middle at points somehow
Empires s1: Red and Blue, Demon's Champion and Good God's Champion, dog behavior and cat behavior, yet both overcompensate for their mistakes, they both show an overconfident face that hides the pain of their traumas
Afterlife (oh my god Afterlife): The whole vampire murders angel then angel comes back a grimreaper was * cheff kiss *, then reaper dies and becomes a superhero (with a blue outfit so hi again red and blue dynamic), then vampire comes back a fucking angel while sausage comes back a god and then scott comes back a merling, someone who needs water while sausage cant touch water without getting damage? the angst fuel (also shameless promotion her cuz my partner actually wrote a fic about that :3c)
Empires s2 i admit didnt have as much going for the opposites theme but theme having the matching tattoos was <3
Pirates smp: Sausage is rich, Scott likes rich men. Sausage hides his trauma, Scott doesnt even realize he has trauma
sorry if this is nonsense. is just this fuckers have been living rent free in my brain for almost 2 years (hell already reached the point where im stealing their s1 characters to make my own ocs... h e l p)
GODS YESSSSSSSSS YOU GET IT
also s1 the whole how both of them are religious but in different ways with Aeor and the blood sheep and all that and how DIFFERENT that alone makes them--
please the afterlife- dude. The whole reason i even began shipping them fr
(and I'm pretty sure I read that fic !!! I'm not sure but either way I will be reading it again for sure)
oh and dont apologize !! that's exactly what I needed to read today- someone that GETS IT
(i am not at that point with them but with s1 fwhimmy? god they are gotta be my ocs at this point i swear)

Lyanna starks haunts the narrative. You should see how jealous Elia's fans are from this fact. They want george and the narrative to care for her. They think it's unfair that Elia doesn't haunt it too when all that she is is a plot device, while lyanna is the woman of the prophecy and the mother of Jon, the promised one. It's not like I hate Elia, but someone dared to say that Elia deserved the flower crown at Harrenhall when it's lyanna's motif.
I can't wait until they see that even Arthur Dayne cared for lyanna more. He probably stayed by her side comforting her after Rhaegar's death. I wouldn't be surprised if he was attracted to her. Not to hate on Elia but to show them the truth.
i'm so sorry but you've come to the wrong place, yes i was crying over lyanna a couple hours ago but i've cried over elia too because what could you possibly have against a dead woman in asoiaf who's only crime was... being in an arranged marriage? not being lyanna?
in all seriousness maybe george and the narrative don't care about elia but i do. she watched her baby's head be caved in and then was brutally raped and murdered and i hate that that's the most important thing we know about her. i wish elia was as important as lyanna, but how cruel is it to sit and compare two dead women by how much they matter to the living men.
also i have no idea what you're talking about arthur dayne and you can say this isn't hating, but it feels kinda like hating to me 😭
EDIT: i've thought about it more and "i wouldnt be surprised if he was attracted to her. not to hate on elia but to show them the truth" is such a wild statement please don't come back 😭
