Awww Marilyn is sad she scares you laurel ♥

it's ok, i think this whole experience has also taught diego that ravi has way more emotional baggage than he ever anticipated so... they're even. (i mean you PROBABLY should've anticipated this from the guy who's told you like three times he's not interested in dating but HEY)

AND RAVI WILL BE VERY LUCKY IF HE NABS DIEGO ♥ ravi is a sucker for dramatic romantic gestures and sounds like he'll be very spoiled with diego ;u; ...also neediness is a good fit with ravi because god knows ravi loves to be needed. PLEASE LET HIM RESCUE YOU. LET HIM SMOTHER YOU WITH WORRY. LET HIM BE YOUR KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR

Name: Quinn Cunningham

What do they look for in a person?:

SSAF seeks SSCM. Must be athletic, overly passionate about choice hobbies, and have minimum 1 utter jackass in immediate family. Accomplished dancer an asset. (It might have occurred to me that she has a type.)
Someone who makes her laugh and (here's the kicker!) appreciates her (questionable???) sense of humour. If you don't think her elaborate journal replies and borderline-roasty jokes are funny, then byeeeeee!
Respect for her work ethic. Don't bother her needlessly in the library! Don't ask her "isn't studying that much kind of pointless tho!" If they can identify with her because they value something else similarly—it doesn't have to be academics—then they're immediately, like 10x more attractive.
Because she spends so much time working, Needy McNeedysons need not apply. :(
Someone who can keep up with her. Like, literally. Can they go for a run with Quinn and not drag her down? How about a skate? If you answered "yes," then we might have some good news for you!
Y'all, she'd better not feel like she has to police your behaviour constantly. (This is probably a big part of why she and Chris lasted a whopping two weeks.)

What do they find romantic?:

Above all (aside from a sense of humour), when it's obvious that the other person wants to spend time with her. Someone who makes excuses to hang out with her or or rearranges plans just a bit so they can see each other makes her go weak at the knees because she feels appreciated and wanted, and she feeeeds off of those two things.
All gestures great and small as long as they communicate "hey, like, I'm thinkin' 'bout you." We're talking cute (but also silly) notes, snack deliveries to the library after missed meals, etc.
FUCKIN SPORTS, MAN! Skating together is like, super romantic, okay. Do the sports, talk about the sports, ask her about the sports: yes, yes, yes!!!
The whole "feeling wanted" thing definitely extends to being pulled aside to kiss in clandestine places and times. Ahem. Yes, Quinn does think this is "romantic."
... Gifts are liable to make her uncomfortable (particularly elaborate ones, and definitely expensive ones).

Who do they have a crush on?: We know this. All together now: Ty~ (At least she's admitting it to herself now.)

Are they seeing someone right now?:

ok no that's a joke that Alex inspired me to make. (I stole it from her.) Not seeing anyone, and she's stopped seeking hookups that aren't the above-mentioned cheer captain. She's "too busy or whatever." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What are they like in a relationship?:

Flirts, jokes, and teases. Incessantly. Also talks a lot.
Her sincere appreciation for gestures (described above ^) is a two-way street. She likes to do things like write (warded) journal entries, send owls, leave small gifts (homemade and often not well done), and draw very poorly. All of these things are very (a) silly, (b) done self-aware (c) likely to relate to inside jokes.
She's had to learn how to bend her "working hours" rules for someone she's in a relationship with; she can get a little tunnel vision-y about schoolwork and knows that that can be interpreted as indifference to spending time with them. Which isn't true! ... But there are times when she needs to be prodded and told "hey, like, remember me? let's go do a thing over there *points to not the library*"
Related to that, she's also more likely to get spontaneous and "rebellious" with her time. Persuading her to put down a textbook for a few hours becomes easier.
Very physically affectionate — she'll touch a hand or arm while she's talking, play with hair, just kind of have a hand wherever (that isn't supposed to read as racy as it does, I swear). She does not, however, push it into clingy territory in public by constantly hang off arms or flopping all over laps. (This does not apply if she's wasted at a Grotto party.)
She can get a little selfish about spending time with someone. At parties and the like, she's pretty much made a hobby out of finding a quiet(er) corner/hallway/etc. in which to drag her date so they can chat (read: banter) and engage in gratuitous out-makings. Good news: parties are too rad to leave for too long. ... unless she's encouraged to do so for more enticing reasons, which she's often amenable to.
As an experienced Bottler of Emotions, she has a habit of leaning emotionally on significant others when she's let things build up and build up but doesn't yet know how to articulate it or deal with it.

Anything else?: Quinn has a lot of opinions about a lot of relationships that do not concern her, and she shares these with close friends. And the anon posts.

Also, I feel like in 15 minutes I'm going to want to revise ALL of this and aaahhhhhhhhuuuuugggghhhhh.
GIF Challenge:

Name: Hazel Keating
What do they look for in a person?: Someone who can keep up with her, mainly - she's excitable and energetic and likes things to be interesting, so anyone who is too placid and won't give her sass will probably lose her interest pretty quickly. If she were interested in someone like that she'd definitely at least try dating, but she'd probably call it off pretty quickly (and would have to try REALLY HARD not to call whoever it was boring). Also any attempts at smothering or controlling her will be met with a not-flirty punch.
What do they find romantic?: Oh god. Hazel doesn't understand romance, so she doesn't really think about it at all. Just give her attention and be willing to go on adventures with her and she'll think you're the best boyfriend ever. Also let her punch you a bit. Just a bit though.
Who do they have a crush on?: Not really anyone, actually, but she's definitely on the prowl now!
Are they seeing someone right now?: Nope, but she's sort of thinking about changing that. It's not something that's crazy important to her, but Ana wants to date, and she figures she should probably want to more than she does??
What are they like in a relationship?: Pretty much how she is with her friends, except with making out - she's affectionate, protective, and silly. She's probably a bit more aggressive too (more shoving, more shoulder punching), because she thinks that's flirty. She doesn't really take dating overly seriously.
Anything else?: She's going to ask Chris for relationship advice at some point and he's just going to confirm to her that punching people is a valid way of flirting and it's going to be an amazing disaster.
GIF Challenge: Hazel demands kiss tribute

Name: Magdalen Gillis
What do they look for in a person?:
She likes strong, ambitious young women with solid plans and goals for their future that they're actively working toward achieving. She wants to be with someone who will be successful after graduation. Shallowly, she prefers Purebloods for longterm relationships because her mother is Sacred 28 and her family is actively trying to integrate themselves into Pureblood society in North America.

What do they find romantic?:
Maggie honestly just wants to be told she's beautiful and intelligent and showered with compliments. She can't bake or cook for shit, so she loves when girls give her food they've made. TESS'S CUPCAKE FORMAL INVITE WAS A+, SWOON-WORTHY.

She likes typical romantic shit like long walks through the gardens and holding hands and being rowed around the lake in a canoe.

Who do they have a crush on?: She still holds a candle for her ex-girlfriend/the former HG who hasn't bothered contacting her since they broke up right before school. Maggie has it in her head that she's going to graduate and join the Auror program and her ex is going to see how successful she is and want to rekindle their romance and Maggie will deny her at first and make her work for it but then Anj is going to confess her love for her and how she's so sorry for snubbing her and Maggie will take her back and they're going to live happily ever after as a lesbian (almost) Pureblood power couple.

That's not gonna happen.

She's mostly just desperate for attention and affection right now and wants to feel attractive and wanted, so she's sort of been eyeing Etta up since the tryouts for something casual. She like Tess a lot and Tess is close to her ideal, but she's a Muggleborn and Maggie is wary about starting something with her and getting invested, SORRY.

Maggie's also wondering if she has feelings for Cricket or if it's just normal jealousy of not wanting her friend being taken away. (She purposefully suggests Nice Boys she knows Cricket wouldn't like.) She would nitpick at Wes and the thing with Kenzie inspired a new jealousy because she couldn't wrap her head around the idea of Cricket being bisexual before she saw her looking glam with Kenzie at the formal and she had a thought of, "Okay, well, if you like femme girls then why not me?" Seeing Kenzie flirt with Uly at the tryouts and over the journals has her feelin' a lil smug in the pettiest of ways.

But also, AGENT LARKE, HEYOOOOOO!!!! NOW THAT'S A STRONG, SUCCESSFUL WOMAN AND POTENTIAL FUTURE CO-WORKER!!!! YOUNG, FEMME, BEAUTIFUL, POWERFUL AS HELL, EXCEPTIONALLY INTELLIGENT, COULD KILL A MAN!!!! MACUSA MACUSA MACUSA MACUSA!!!!

Are they seeing someone right now?: No.

What are they like in a relationship?:
Maggie is romantic and sappy and wants to hold hands constantly and slip cutesy notes and sneak little treats into their school bags and she wants to know their schedule so they can meet up and spend time together and study together and go on walks together and spend every waking moment together. She'll be dedicated and loyal and attentive, but she can be a lot to handle once she's finally in the relationship. The courting process with her takes forever because she's indecisive and constantly weighing the pros and cons; if they're a Pure, though, she's pretty quick to latch on.

Magdalen is clingy. At worst, she has a controlling streak and is prone to jealousy. She tends to avoid dating bisexuals for the shitty reason of not wanting a boy to aggressively swoop in and assert himself while they're still on the getting-to-know-you phase.

Anything else?: The perfect Head Girl is secretly a bit of a mess.

GIF Challenge:

Yeah I'm the same way. People are such assholes at the movies (which I DO NOT GET) But I have the worst customer service caring. I could launch into so many stories but my new thing is the only one I'll share:

It has become my pet peeve that people can't communicate anymore, and I HATE HATE HATE with a fiery passion when I ask them what time they want (since they can't seem to say it themselves) and they just go "Now obviously" So being the snarky bitch who learned passive aggressive like an art in the government, I now reply with (in a completely overly sweet tone) "I'm sorry, we don't have one starting now. We do have one at [insert time here (even if it's within minutes)]. would you like that one?"

alex and i have rosy/casey headcanon that involves:

- them sleeping together ONE TIME somewhere between 18-22, the earlier the better
- which knocks rosy up with twins
- they have a shotgun wedding
- the twins turn out to be TOTAL MENACES (pronounce like "menses") and nobody is surprised
- rosy hates her life forever, the end.

shotgun wedding includes:
- casey trying to convince rosy that this is a legit tuxedo
- sy punching casey in the face
- reid hanging around outside as a swan and giving no fux

i'm not sure where this fits in with my own headcanon of casey seeing magic mike and becoming an exotic dancer. TBD.

basically rosy gets knocked up by a stripper you guys

he's an exotic dancer and it is An Art, rosy, GOSH.

as casey thinks romance is BOOOORING, i have replaced every instance of "romantic" with "sick" and "relationship" with "good time."

Name: CASEY Patterson
What do they look for in a person?: His app states Casey says, "yeah but are they hot?" and I stand by that. If he's eyeing someone it's because they're fit and they're confident (shy can be ok but self-deprecating losers need NOT apply he gives ZERO shits about you). He doesn't have so much 'a type' as 'an appreciation for the human form, especially when it's a good one and he can grind against it.'
What do they find sick?: Playing hard to get is ALSO BORING! He likes people who are forward! He likes people who don't expect him to put in hours of effort just to know them the way he wants! Usually he likes it when he feels like the one who is In Charge and Knows Shit, though a role reversal in those respects can be 👌
Who do they have a crush on?: good fuck there aren't enough hours in eternity MOVING ON
Are they seeing someone right now?: lol no are you serious THAT WOULD BE A DISASTER
What are they like in a good time?: Unconditionally open and respectful when laying ground rules, then ready to have fun. Leaves as soon as it stops being siiick. Doesn't give a flying fuck about ~emotions~ or ~feelings-y shit.~ Takes charge unless it's a specific situation where he's cool with not being in charge. Does not get attached. Does not get jealous.
Anything else?: bro
GIF Challenge: LOOK AT HOW CUTE HE IS.

i bet you thought i was going to use a shirtless gif. HA!!!

don't hold your breath

IT WAS NOT TOO MUCH! it turns out it's challenging (ok, for me, lol) to articulate ~romancey stuff~

OMG HIS LIL SUIT FOR VALENTINE'S DAY ;___;

ISN'T IT DARLING?!

the little half-sheepish "yeah i still got it *shrug*" is also very Casey to me

Name: Susana Velasquez

What do they look for in a person?: I'm not sure she has a type, since I'm still feeling her out in that regard and she's kind of still figuring it out and her crushes kind of run the gamut honestly. But! Ana does seem to like guys that are nice, genuine (not necessarily innocent or philanthropic genuine, but just honest about who they are), and anyone who is able to make her laugh and have fun. They can't be a bully, they can't be boring, they can't be overly egotistical (at least in the way they'll pay attention only to themselves and not her). Super studious types aren't really her thing either. You can be smart, but studying all the time? Ain't nobody got time for that! Keeping up with her is key, as she's super competitive and still not good at the whole not putting up walls thing, plus she does have a kind of rambunctious attitude so. AND most importantly HAZEL HAS TO APPROVE OF YOU ♥
What do they find romantic?: She's honestly not really sure? She does like gestures that show when people are thinking about her/noticed her/etc. (Cole's Christmas dress that was handmade, Sy telling her he was proud after tryouts, etc) Nothing overly showy or cheesy, though. She doesn't mind simple.
Who do they have a crush on?: Cole (She's in the friend zone, folks). Micah sorta? (Nothing huge, but she thinks he's fun and cute etc) Low key Sy (Looks up to him, respects him, wants to make him proud, hero worship. Diminished greatly when he's mean to Calvin or Calvin talks about him being mean because Calvin is her people now, though)
Are they seeing someone right now?: Nope! But she's definitely actively trying to see if that can be a thing! (When she's not thinking of Quidditch, which is pretty much all the time)
What are they like in a relationship?: I imagine it wouldn't be very different, but she's never been in one. She'll be softer, let down the walls, maybe allow that Honeymoon Stage to take over and her be wrapped in them? She will never be clingy, and will still do her own thing a lot, so the guy will have to be okay with no 24/7. She'll be more touchy, since she's not really one to do it with everyone (except Hazel), but she'd want to show whoever she's with that she likes them in a special way. (And she really likes kissing games, so. Lots of making out and such)
Anything else?: What other romance-themed things do you want to share about your character?
GIF Challenge:

Name: Jonny Wiiiiilde.
What do they look for in a person?: People who will give him attention? Lmao.
Really though, I think he likes the quintessential bookish/smart girl archetype kinda. Someone who thinks for herself, knows things, can impress him but doesn't care about impressing him, doesn't care what people think. Someone he actually likes talking to -- that's probably the biggest thing? If he can stand to be around you and not have to duck away awkwardly to go be alone and recharge like with everyone else, that's like Numero Uno. He's also drawn to creativity and interest in "the strange," however practiced it is.

If you asked him, he'd probably say something obnoxious like "I just want someone who's authentic." In a perfect world, he'd have a girlfriend he could vent to about anything, show all his dumb writing, and who would show interest and help him become a better and MORE AUTHENTIC PERSON himself.

What do they find romantic?: A lot of things, actually. He's secretly quite intense about crushes after a certain point (I mean, hi poetry book) and would melt over having the same kind of attention fired back at him. Like. Use of creativity and time to express feelings for HIM? That shit is the best. Also your standard stuff, to a certain extent -- spending all your time together, holding hands, secret little smiles and note-passing, long walks in the woods (JUST KIDDING), sharing food, reading books out loud, blah blah. All of these things would make Wilde's entire life, but he definitely pretends he doesn't care about them.

Who do they have a crush on?: Oh god ugh. Yeah, yeah. He's been staring at Saira in class a little bit, probably noticeably engaging her in discussions, looking to see if she's around all the time, etc. Like. The standard I-like-you-but-don't-want-to-admit-it-so-I'll-just-bug-you teenage boy bullshit. It's silently killing him inside.

He also has weird crushes/some degree of attraction toward Roxanne and Ariadne, and maybe Penny a little.
Are they seeing someone right now?: Lol
What are they like in a relationship?: At first, probably very demonstrative and weird. Like. Let me show you how cool and smart and amazing I am. Maybe a bit detached, showy. Watch me do x y z. Let's dissect this stupid film together. He's extremely cautious about really "opening his heart" (puuuke) so definitely doesn't really let the walls come down -- at least not quickly, at least not with everyone. There'd probably be a balancing act of getting to know/trust eachother and letting him "be his own person" and figure his shit out or whatever. There's a way he thinks he should act in these cases that isn't representative of his actual real nature, so -- I guess Wilde would need time to learn how to love someone and really BE there.

As an actual person giving his actual all in an actual relationship, super committed and warm, maybe somewhat idealizing. Like "let's make a secret world together" feelings. Us against everyone else, your issues become his issues. I think he'd do anything for people he genuinely cares for, romantic or otherwise, and there's probably a side of him that only someone he's in love with would ever get to see. SO. Hope you enjoy becoming the symbol of everything good in the world to him, because that's kinda inevitable, yet also having to endure some bickering and posturing FOREVER.

Anything else?: ahhhh
