wanna see the compare and contrast XD
11. love languages - giving, they're both hugely into acts of service, but J1 is more likely to have HUGE DRAMATIC GESTURES (potentially world-altering) whereas J2 is more likely to do quiet, intense labor trying to do something almost-invisibly useful
receiving, they both appreciate physical touch but J2 has a much higher need for words of affirmation
just....tell him you like him
or that you want to kill kujen for him. its the thought that counts
or make kujen throw a hissy fit and self-derail out of spite
idk that he necessarily parsed that as an act of love for him as much as just proof of Eiffel's profound excellence as a person
13: sharing/trading clothes - J2 is absolutely into it as a subset of his 'VALIDATE ME' which makes him love possessive gestures
with Hakkai it tends to show a lot more in wearing stuff Hakkai knitted for him, but I can absolutely see him stealing a hoodie from Eiffel or a blazer from john and mooching around in Very Little Else fishing for a reaction or batting his eyelashes like 'can i keep it?'
i feel like jedao has definitely stolen some of eiffel's nerd shirts after sex
I feel like he wouldn't care THAT much about lovers in his everyday clothes but he does definitely kink on the idea of wrapping Hakkai up in a Fancy Space Silk Dressing Gown in Obnoxiously Shuos Colors
part of the kink is the front-tie access, however that's not all of it
I think for Jedao 1 it's a little more low-key but still present. just a warm fuzzy 'mine'
after wearing other people's bodies for years and also Fives wearing his sigil as a tattoo tho clothes is a little less impactful lmao
but he's happy to indulge it
15 - grooming/being groomed by someone else
they both looooove this, J1 a lot more...obtrusively?
let them brush your hair, let them wash you in the bath, let them touch and serve at the same timeee
and J1 is more in tune with his love of being groomed in the same way
whereas J2 is sort of like, Oh This Is Nice?
but also he's learning to do a little make-up so we'll see where that goes
they're both pretty flexible in terms of tailoring their approach when flirting with intent
Jedao One is more likely to try to make someone laugh with a wicked raunchy joke and flagrant eyebrow waggling, but J2 might do that if he were already comfortable and intimate with someone
they both focus a lot of attention on people, and they're both likely to use very very light touches and earnest compliments, and they both know how to use their voice
J1 is a lot more forward in general, still
they also both will, if possible, pass up an obvious double entendre while calling attention to the fact that the opportunity was there, we both see it, right - and then making another, different, more personalized and less rote double entendre
also they both know how to use the fact that they are genuinely very good at massage
Ooh, good going on the makeup, Jed'ika! Fives approves. (He still loves makeup and jewelry, and he still has that red dress Jean made/tailored for him)
also nails... him and Taura doing each others' nails and makeup when she visits, hanging out and prepping her for a fancy date with Jedao
tricia868 XD
2 - he spoon versatile!!! everyone needs to be held sometimes
he likes giving that comfort and receiving it both
22, 23 & 25 J2, 1 for Kahl!
(which my auto correct was certain should be "Karl")
18 - honestly very little flusters j2
he's shy but that's not the same thing
mostly it's when someone he didn't think liked him specifically says he's a good person
like Sheehan's regard got him a little fluttery
romantic stuff really doesn't do it; it's respect & ethics specifically
22. ideal date would depend on the dynamic of the partner, but I think he'd go crazy for like. an extremely ritzy Spa Date masquerading as a Nature Date where he got to be in hot springs under a natural sky and wash and pamper his date and explore a beautiful natural location but then also have lots of wild sex back in the yurt on a nice king mattress
but tbh if his persistent fantasy of Hanging Out Watching TV and then he gets his head pushed down and his partner pretends to keep watching the show while he blows them counts as a date, that's definitely up there
23. MANY things. he loves a blush!!! he loves Interesting Hair and light/colored eyes. there are lots of things he thinks are sexy or attractive but not necessarily cute
I do think he thinks a bit of soft tummy is extremely cute and good
25. crush....depends WILDLY on whether or not he thinks it is reciprocated
if yes, get ready for so much shameless flirting
if no, then he just wants to Be Around You and Do Things For You and Make You Happy with zero expectations
as an Unattainable Breach Ex, Arthur gets a weird mix of both
but most people are one or the other until he gets a clue
Asterisk, if he thinks it's reciprocated but the other person is shy, the flirting WILL be calibrated to a meticulously planned but probably fast seduction campaign, that may or may not break down partway through (Eiffel, Zerxus John)
and Astarion gets it less aggressively because he still trips some of Jedao's fears of Pushing Too Hard
1 for Kahl - he is like. genuinely a feral cat
he's so his father's son XD
what ???? is this ?????? maybe it's nice tho ????
he's only barely started initiating and only with certain people
and it's like. the 'middle schooler clueless bonk kiss' of cuddling. just throws his body on yours and maybe that'll work!!! (when he's in cat form it mostly does)
zerxus has to do ALL the cuddling work when he flops near him as a boy
arthur is similar with jedao tbh, it's like. Complicated (Positive)
Frankie, 5 - backrubs, I think she'd love to get one, has no particular skill or interest in giving them
12 - basic bitch lifetime movie rolling around in the sheets pillow fights is probably as far as it goes
violence is work and it's not even her strong suit
cuuuuuute (tbh the fancy spa date would FULLY work on Hakkai)
22 - high brow/low brow - Fancy Expensive Dinner with Fancy Expensive Wine and then take her to the 1am empty movie theater to heckle some fun schlock together while blasted
it's the sensual pleasures + the feeling of superiority
