edward is slow to rile up -- not naturally, but bc he tries very hard to keep a tight reign on his temper. he puts heavy emphasis on communication, especially in a relationship
so if a fight crops up, its either due to a time factor (theyre in a rush or something), or a miscommunication/unclear communication/misunderstanding, or theyre both under a lot of pressure / its a straw-camel situation
my prediction is that it would typically be a short blow-up with a build-up of tension. edward would definitely want to fix things afterwards, but he's want the both of them to get the space to cool off first
then its a "we need to revisit this and clear things up" with apologies attached. though i'm not sure how edward would handle it if he felt he didnt actually do something wrong. he does have a secret little stubborn pride but he's also aware of it, so it'd depend on how it went down
7. How does your character deal with intimacy? Are they hesitant, or do they like it? What types of intimacy do they like or dislike? (Emotional intimacy, physical intimacy, sexual intimacy...)
edward is kind of awkward with emotional intimacy. despite his big communication shtick like i mentioned, he is better at acts of service and time spent as a love language than like. outright fuckin sayin shit
if he doesnt and something throws him off, he is the type of person who will go "stop the presses, i need to clarify whats going on and why" right away
edward isnt the most boundary conscious character i have (he's probably trumped by one of my OCs, my fo4 protag zetta, followed by her time lord counterpart, zeta), but he cares a lot about like. knowing wtf is going on
(zetta is hyper boundary conscious, but also hilariously WAY harder to get along with compared to edward. not that its exactly difficult to get along with edward, but zetta is an acquired taste kind of person)
edward - 11. Would your character ever feel comfortable moving out of their usual bedroom role? What's something in their comfort zone, and what's something out of it?
this one's kind of interesting bc like. he's actually pretty flexible about stuff? he doesnt feel strongly about topping or bottoming for example (though in terms of dom/sub, he'd be a surprisingly bratty sub lol)
i think the main things that are outside of his comfort zone are like. hardcore pain related stuff, or games where he has to play the aggressor in a big way. and then, tbh, receiving outright body worship bc it'd set off his self-consciousness bad
with pain stuff he doesnt get anything out of it, a certain degree is fine if his partner is into it and theres really good communication. so like. a little knifeplay is cool! but he wont beat you up as a sexy thing
elle bonds to people very fast and very strong. but romantic love gets different... especially since her crushes and her squishes are fucking indistinguishable
romantic love, actual love, is kind of a mixed bag about how long it takes. it can happen in an instant if she makes a special connection, or it can happen over time as a crush or squish has time to solidify
elle - 10. How does your character react to the realization that they like someone else? Is it an “oh my god I’m never going to think about this again” thing, or are they pretty comfortable with it?
she has this really bad habit of deciding to do nothing about it though without outside influence. luckily once she has the realization, her friends can pick it out bc she finally starts acting differently around that person
its very very easy for someone to look at elle with one of her friends and assume theyre dating bc of the way elle acts with her friends 💀 she hates the assumption but like. seriously tho
charisma with everyone else: 3
reason being: shes just kind of a bitch, she really is)
