Question meme

Will you look at that; it has been ~exactly~ a month and a day since my last question meme! Well, since so many things have been happening...

This question meme applies to Yuri Lowell, Hibari Kyouya, and Thusia (Yuri, Squalo, Henrietta, Gerasimos).

The most important thing for Flynn in a partner right now is either someone who he doesn't feel will take sex too seriously or someone who he could have a genuine emotional connection with. LACKING THE LATTER, he's swinging a lot more toward the former. Flirting alone is sort of a new and exciting thing for him because he's never really had an interest in flirting or had a personal reason to do it. Flirting doesn't get you places in the Imperial Knights and before Aather that was his ~life~ so he just sort of ignored its existence.

But Aather is doing interesting things for Flynn in terms of developing his sense of self and sexuality is one of those facets. So he's more comfortable with flirting, mostly because if it works out nicely (like with Chariot) he feels flattered and he gets to flatter someone else so it's a win win situation. He definitely approaches people who are more laid back because this is new ground he's exploring. He already had a bit of a mess up with both Selenia and Yuri so he wants his exploration to be something he can do without worrying about long term repercussions for the relationship.

Also experience is nice because as earnest as he can be Flynn's (at this time) still a virgin. He wants someone who'd be more willing to show him the ropes and who knows their way around things so that he can get a better understanding of how things are done. He definitely won't go for a more inexperienced partner until he feels confident in his ability to please them.

I think the more that Flynn comes into a comfortable sense of his own sexuality the more comfortable he's going to be with things like physical affection and flirting. There's always going to be some degree of genuine affection behind it, though, because Flynn Scifo is not the kind of guy for one night stands. (unless it's something that the other party is completely comfortable with in which case, if they're attractive and he likes them, he's all for it)

Any memories in Yuri's registry that you're looking forward to?
oneknightstands: That is a noble cause. Give me the sixty-five, I'm on the job. (I make him better Humperdinck suffers?)

You are already king of the bad decision dinosaurs, Yuri Lowell.

Flynn took a very serious interest in teaching himself practical skills like writing and cooking when he was younger so he could do more odd jobs around the Lower Quarter. When he first started writing, he practiced by keeping a diary journal of daily events (which Yuri probably mocked him for). He still keeps it up daily, and there's sometimes where he'll write short letters to Yuri in his entries, especially after Yuri left the knights and in the aftermath of Zaude. He's got all his old journals stashed away in his room at the capitol, neatly filed in chronological order.

How did Yuri learn to cook?
oneknightstands: (Puppy chuu!)

They're in a weird place! Selenia was someone that Flynn attached very strongly to when he first arrived in Aather because person who speaks with authority! It's very easy for Flynn to fall into his role as a knight with people who are commanding like Van. But then Selenia kissed him and things sort of became a bit more awkward on Flynn's side. Mostly it was an issue of too much too fast, because at that time Flynn still wasn't thinking of Aather as a different system from the Imperial Knights so for one, it was something that felt wrong to him as a knight-to-hero relationship, and for two, it wasn't something he'd even considered in terms of his own desires because he was still focusing super heavily on his duties as a knight-knight.

So Flynn sort of backed off out of consideration for his feelings and things were a little awkward for a while thereafter. They were on that sort of unstable footing until Selenia wound up giving away his love for a quest which freaked Flynn the fuck out. They somewhat resolved after that but then after the game where all of Sapphire died they had a disagreement on what's the right course for Aather, basically that Flynn supports the goal of Beauty and the realm regardless of what might happen in games and Selenia doesn't.

From Flynn's end things are still kind of...iffy. He's definitely not as close to Selenia as he once was because of the disagreements that they've had over Aather, justice, and the like, but Selenia does remain someone that he respects so he's just in general in a place where he's trying to figure out how to navigate their relationship.

What would Yuri do if someone stuck gum in his hair.
oneknightstands: That is the sound of ultimate suffering (Listen. Do you hear?)

HE'S HAD LOTS OF THEM. Mostly Yuri, your hair is so impractical, what would you do if an enemy grabbed it in battle? :T It always gets tangled, Yuri :TT You take forever in the shower, Yuri :TTTT Your hair is against Imperial Knights regulation Yuri :TTTTT You're dripping all over the floor, Yuri :TTTTTT It suits you, Yuri :T

What would Yuri do with Repede in Aather?
oneknightstands: Do you always begin conversations this way? (You don't happen to have six fingers?)

He is gradually easing out of it these days. Honestly he's a bit loathe to just stop wholesale because of the possibility that he could find himself at a game that requires it when he's not geared up and then he'd beat himself up forever for not being able to help. Though I imagine once he gets his inventory skill back that might help out a bit, maybe. But then there's also the practicality of getting into and out of it all the time.

Someone like Lloyd or Chariot could probably talk to him about the merits of not wearing armor all the damn time and that might help the gradual process.

What's your favorite kind of game or what kind of games do you want to see more of?
