-☆You are a smiling critter in this, if u want to know which one(but don't know what animal or insect to pick) you could start out as a sheep!
Affection(How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
- He can ramble about his interests(autism?)
- Which is how he shows affection
- He isn't too good when it comes to physical affection, but quality time is his thing, and words of affirmation
- If you praise him for his nerdiness, he'll get really flustered and have a genuine smile
- Since him rambling is affection, he is VERY affectionate
- He rambles to you everyday, it can be the smallest facts or a whole slideshow of papers
- Other than interest rambling, him spending quality time is how he shows it
- He does that a lot actually!
- He's rambled to you so many times that he doesn't even mind when he stutters while explaining his interests
Best friend(How would they be as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
- He can seem like a nerd at first(is)
- I'm going to say rambling a lot(probably) but he when it comes to him showing off his interests, it starts with little facts about certain things
- He hoped that with his incredible knowledge you'd think he's a great and smart friend
- I'm pretty sure Bubba wouldn't initiate the friendship first
- You gotta do it!! It's all on you!!
- But anyways, you would compliment how much he knows about certain subjects
- And that REALLY got to him, so he started sharing facts to you a lot more
- Not just to receive some praise(it's half the reason), but to become better friends with you, he figured it out himself
- Isn't he just so smart?
Cuddles(Do they cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
- Doesn't really cuddle actually
- Probably doesn't like physical touch, to be honest
- If he did cuddle, he'd be very uncomfortable, it'd most likely be against his own will
- BUTTT! He just might, on a rare occasion, want some cuddles, on a VERYYYYYYYY rare occasion he just might want some cuddles whenever he's feeling down
Domestic(Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
- Loves settling down, if he could, he'd do it for the rest of his life
- If he was a grandpa, he'd just sit in his chair all day with his silly wrinkles
- Actually loves cleaning! But if he touches something icky, he despises it until something good happens while cleaning
- For cooking.. Hm, it depends on what he's cooking!
- If it's something simple, yea, that's alright, something complicated he's going to complain
- He'll still cook it though, his cooking is actually amazing. Phenomenal.
Ending(If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
- You see... I don't like doing this one...
Fiance(How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
- No thanks ^_^
Gentle(How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
- He's gentle, and actually very knowledgeable with emotions
- He is very gentle emotionally, but physically he's stiff
- Somewhat surprisingly, he can be amazing with dealing with emotions
- Verbal words can be confusing and hard, but he can really get the job done when comforting(verbally)
- He is REALLY good when it comes to listening
- BUT BRO. If you want to be comforted by the facts(like info about the ocean, animals, etc.) that he knows..
- Could you... Stay alive? Forever?
Hugs(Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
- Nope!
- Ew.... EW. EW!!!!!!!!!!
I love you(How fast do they say the L-word?)
- Doesn't really say it a lot
- Says it SOMETIMES, but most of them are just nervous stutters
- He would really appreciate it if you said it back
- Please say it back
Jealousy(How jealous do they get? What do they do when they're jealous?)
- He can actually get jealous! Minus his relaxed attitude 24/7
- Pretty easily too, he tries not to feel that way but he can't help it
- Being straightforward, how jealous he can get is depending on what's happening at the moment
- For example, if someone's just hanging out with you(even as friends) he'll be a little jealous, but that's fine!
- But if someone just flats out gives you a smooch?
- He'll get both jealous and irritated!!(I'm trying not to make it sound like he's an alpha💀)
- When he is THAT envious, he just grabs your wrist(by wrapping his around yours, because he has no fingers) and takes you away
- "I'll just- Take them for a second, mk?"
- At this point you can cuddle up to him, honestly show anyway of affection to him
Kisses(What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
- Doesn't really kiss
- Not a lot, but he probably doesn't mind them
- But if you kiss him first he'll make a face at you
- Like he's surprised and disappointed at the same time
- You could've asked first... From that point on, just start asking him if you could give him a peck
- His kisses.. Seem like no effort, but he realllyyyy means them
- Especially since he doesn't do it all the time
- He mainly kisses you on the cheek, the forehead is too much! That's too intimate!!!
- But for kissing him, he prefers it on the forehead, the cheek is fine but.. Forehead is better, for receiving on his end
Little ones(How are they around children?)
- Not having kids, for the last time(for the Smiling Critters)
- But the kids think he's a complete nerd
- If the kids need help with anything, like ANYTHING, they 100% go to him for help
- Especially if it's logical things
- "The Smart One!"
- "... Oh, you mean Bubba?"
- "Yeah! That one!"
- "..."
Morning(How are mornings spent with them?)
- When he wakes up, it always seems like he's had the worst sleep ever
- As if he had nightmares the whole time he was sleeping
- Definitely the type to say, "Ough.. My back..."
- But he wakes up with his morning coffee(???)
- If you don't wake up at the designated time, then he'll wake you up
- But as gentle as possible, he doesn't want to startle you
- If he's waking up Kickin then he doesn't care, at all
- If you ever need something to truly wake up, just rely on him getting it for you
- If you need coffee, him too! If you need a massage, he'll do it(surprisingly with no discomfort), a hug? Yeah that's fine
Night(How are nights spent with them?)
- You'll see him start off in the fetal position while sleeping, but the next morning he's twisted up like pretzels
- Maybe that's why his back is hurting so much
- It's really confusing why it happens, he isn't even aware himself
- He doesn't need any cuddling to go to sleep, he's fine
- When it's bedtime, he always makes sure you go to sleep just fine, if you want to cry yourself to sleep then that's not happening
- He'll comfort you before you say, "Honk shoooo..."
Open(When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
- He'll only open up when he's really tired, like exhausted.
- After being with him for a while, he can start opening up, just don't rush him with it, let him go at his pace
- He slowly reveals things about himself, it can be how stressed he is, what it's like just being known for being smart
- He's just tired of being used as a cheat sheet(real ^_^)
Patience(How easily angered are they?)
- Can only get angered from being bothered too much, or if everybody's asking him something at once
- Like if EVERYBODY's trying to get an answer from him, he'll get overstimulated, probably will start yelling like those characters in old cartoons
- It can get really scary
- Sometimes can get VERY frustrated if you just say, "I don't know" When direct directions were given to you
- Like, CAN YOU JUST PAY ATTENTION FOR ONE SECOND(something I'd love to say, but that's kinda mean).
- But he's holding back, because not everybody has the brain of Granville T. Woods, Albert Einstein, etc.
- If you are PURPOSEFULLY angering him, he will BREAK, SHATTER. He can get SOOOOO MAD.
Quizzes(How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
- "An elephant always remembers!"
- Just from that statement, his memory is very shocking, he'll remember everything from birth to now
- So basically, he remembers ALLL of it, what you said about this one person(or toy), your favorite animal, a lot of things
- Be careful with your words, because this toy CAN and PROBABLY WILL blackmail you
- Remembers every detail, yummy.. Personal information ^_^!
Remember(What is their favorite moment in the relationship?)
- When you correctly guessed what he remembers about you
Security(How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
- He can be very protective actually!
- I like to think that if he was in a bigger body, he's be HUGEEEEEE
- 15 ft tall type stuff!! He could crush you with his foot
- The way he protects is him threatening with spooky facts
- Him and Miss Delight know everything about the human and toy body, kind of scary...
- He could terrify them with body facts
- "You know, humans lose about 4 kg of skin cells per year. But what do you think happens if I make you lose all of it in one day?"
- He's so alpha😂😂
- But if you protected him, he'd let it play out
- Unless if you're protecting him in a way that wouldn't really terrify the person/toy, he just might have to take over
Try(How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
- All the effort in the world
- They always look so professional!
- I mean he can do 'dates', but he can get pretty bored if it's just sitting at a table
- Doesn't mind making the table all pretty though
- He would tell you that's it's your anniversary the second you wake up
- Would also ask if you wanted to celebrate, wouldn't mind that much if you say no(lies)
- He's good with gifts! I know I said he's not good with them, but it was because it was Valentine's day, that day includes intimacy and romance, he's not good with those things
- But his gifts are fantastic, they can really cheer you up on a bad day
- He does put effort into everyday tasks
- Always
Ugly(What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
- Nothing
- Maybe.. If he loses his glasses..?(he 100% wears glasses)
Vanity(How concerned are they with their looks?)
- Nope! He's confident!
- But if something's yucky on him, he will FREAK OUT. Like those elephants in cartoons, blowing their trunk, you know what I mean
Whole(Would they feel incomplete without you?)
- Yea. Nobody else fully listens to his rambles.
Xtra(A random headcanon for them.)
- Autistic, I got to be honest, I feel like all the Smiling Critters are neurodivergent
- Dogday, ADHD
- Catnap, Autism
- Bobby, ADHD
- Crafty, Autism
- Kickin, ADHD
- Hoppy, ADHD
- Picky, Autism
- And then Bubba has autism
Yuck(What are some things they wouldn't like, either in general or in a partner?)
- If you don't want to listen to his rambling, I mean he doesn't mind too much! But if you make it obvious that you don't care, he'll dislike you a little
Zzz(What is a sleep habit of theirs?)
- Sleeping in fetal position
- Just checking if anybody needs a story read to them or something, whatever can help them fall asleep
