[ooc: Thinking I might give streaming a try. Either to get some answers done while people make fun of my awful taste in music or I can just draw some lovingly rendered boobies and sad Vexens in the snow for people’s entertainment or something.]

[[Mostly this happens because it amuses Xigbar and Vexen is so neurotic that there’s a guarantee of reaction (and often blatant over reaction) no matter what Xigbar does, but also it’s rather unintended.
Like Vexen is ranting, Xigbar kisses him mid-sentence out of the blue just to see what happens, they accidentally a room or over a kitchen table, and Vexen blames Xigbar and locks himself in the labs for a week.

It’s a game for Xigbar and there’s pretty much a fifty-fifty chance on whether Vexen will punch him in the face or engage in hot dickings. Xigbar uses this as additional bullying material to pull reactions out of Vexen.


As for femxen and ladybar: boob gropes are totally a valid form of greeting Xigbar has to push a whole lot more to get a reaction because femxen likely had put up with a significantly more hostile school and work environments than male Vexen because a lot of science fields have a deathly terror of cooties getting on science.
But the fact she does still react makes her a target. Though chances are Xigbar went a bit further than dudebar did before pretty much the exact same thing.

Though because Femxen is so very repressed it’s probably more fifty-twenty-thirty chance for punch/do-not-engage/lesbee funtimes and ‘punch’ may occasionally be reinterpreted as ‘attempted shanking with an icicle.’]]

[[I have a lot of versions of this.

I’m ngl, I’m really, really fond of this starting with Even having an incredibly creepy and awkward crush on Ienzo, then examining the psychological fallout of if this is acted on prior to forming the Organization or post formation.
But we’ll skip over those versions because my psychology kink and taste for grimdark aren’t really too relevant to what I’m doing here.

This involves a lot of blatant nerdly one-upping each other and science related competitiveness. Their competitiveness functioning primarily as an artificial drive to improve their skills and finish work due to lack of ability to be actually passionate about their work any more.

It’s kind of a hollow manner of trying to remember the feelings of previously existing emotional attachments which are no longer available to them due to being nobodies. Sex comes into it mostly because physical sensations like sexual pleasure are far more accessible to nobodies than more basic forms human contact where they only remember what the emotions attached were like.

But they still find time to be horrendous dorks.


Femxen and her Zexion in a relationship: Zexion makes the first move and they spend like ninety percent of their ‘couple’ time just reading in each others general vicinity, with occasional awkward makeouts where Zexion does not give a fuck and Vexen is a bundle of awkward.
If they make it to actual sex, Zexion tops every time.]]

[[A terribly neglectful and distant relationship.

Hand doesn’t have much experience and Vexen has a million sex related hang-ups making every encounter brief, awkward and rather unfulfilling due to the other things.

Basically they’re better off just friends or in polyamorous relationships, but only one of these things is likely to happen.

Also Vexen runs away with mister couch cushion because it’s hard to read god awful bodice-rippers while engaging Hand.]]

[[Based in mutual respect as indomitable death machines.

Marluxia appreciates what Larxene can do for him.
Larxene appreciates that Marluxia appreciates her nature and not only lets Larxene indulge, but provides more opportunities to do so rather than telling her to knock that shit off and focus on the mission.
For the most part they both feed each others egos, and make each other worse people- it’s a lot like putting two mirrors directly across from each other.]]

[ooc: So I’m still getting into the swing of actually using my replacement computer for art things after I melted my old one. I’m thinking the best thing for it is a fresh batch of asks.

Failing that, drop some pairings in my ask box and I’ll tell you magical tales on how I think they work because I need something to do.]
