Working on my Jel fic has led to the following headcanon:
Is a big hugger: Reth, Nai'o, Tish, Jina, Kenli, Auni, Delaila
Puts their hand on your shoulder when they want to tell you something Important: Hassian, Sifuu, Ashura, Hodari, Budruu
Will not initiate touch, but will accept it under the right circumstances: Eshe, Caleri, Kenyatta, Elouisa, Najuma, Hekla
Vibe checks you before deciding if they're gonna touch you in any way: Einar, Tamala, Zeki (all for wildly different reasons)
I think Jel's hang-up on touch was baked into him by being essentially Majiri nobility. He secretly craves physical affection, but he feels very Wrong about this and that's why he has those little mental hurdles to jump over before he'll be physically affectionate with you in any way.
Chayne gets his own section because he is also a big hugger but his hugs specifically give you the "unconditional acceptance" vibe.

Opinions No One Asked For™️: Palia NPC Edition
Auni: I love this kid. I want him to think of me as a cool older sister or cool aunt. I bring him bugs every chance I get
Ashura: I want him to be my dad. Genuinely love him. Serious contender to be my Shepp
Badruu: He really turned the puns up to 11. I love him. Also want him to be my dad. And possibly my Shepp
Caleri: I wasn't too sure about her, but after getting to know her, I feel like we have quite a few similarities. Definitely want to be her friend. Could she be my Shepp? 👀
Chayne: I find him so calming. He also feels dad-like to me. 100% want him as a support figure/father figure regardless of who I choose as my Shepp
Delaila: Love talking to her. Really want to get to know her better at this point (but 100% want her to win all the prizes at farmers markets/festivals)
Einar: Absolutely adorable and I love him. Only platonically tho. I will give him as many Gils and shiny rocks as he wants
Elouisa: I wasn't sure at first, but I LOVE her unhinged theories. I want to be her best friend. I will investigate all the paranormal things with her. Contender for my Shepp. Girl let's go ghost hunting
Eshe: So snobby. So bougie. So bitchy. I wish she could be my Shepp 😫 (if only because it would be entertaining)
Hassian: First impressions? What an asshole. After some time, I am...intrigued. I want to figure him out. I want to know why he is the way he is. Also fucking love Tau, the gooodest boi
Hekla: Honestly... she freaked me out a little for a long time. I'm slowly coming around though
Hodari: Listen, I get it. I see where you all are coming from. But man's just not my type 🤷🏻♀️
Jel: Oh Jel, my beloved. I'm not exactly subtle about it. This man is my husband. Sad, skinny, pathetic, dramatic, goth guys are My Type™️. Would marry him like, yesterday 🥀😫🪡🖤😍
Jina: At first I wasn't sure, but the more I talk to her, I'm like, "Jina, my bestie." I'm a PhD student. I feel you. Also, WOMEN IN STEM, HELL YEAH!!!! I have a feeling we're gonna be great friends
Kenji: Not a fan of your extremely privileged life ("Have you tried inheriting property?" 😐😐😐) or the invasive chapaa situation... but I also don't dislike him as much as I thought. I feel like he's playing a role he doesn't really want to, but still enjoying/expecting the high life for little to no effort
Kenyatta: She should be my best friend. I was put off at first, but she is the coolest. I see quite a few aspects of myself in her
Nai'O: I feel like he's the sweetest boi ever. I'm both like, "He deserves better than Kenyatta" and "Kenyatta is good for him." Perhaps the most wholesome NPC
Najuma: I also want to be the cool older sister and/or cool aunt that she never had. This kid is a badass and smart as hell. I wish my friendship with her was better already
Reth: This man. I love him. I'm not sure if it's platonic or romantic yet. All I know is he's one of my favourite NPCs to talk to. He's funny, he's flirty, he's got a Tragic Backstory™️. I'm here for this soup boi whether he wants it or not
Sifuu: Two words: Bad. Ass. It's a crime that we can't romance her. I really want to ask her to be my Shepp, but I'm not sure it's a good fit
Tamala: I'm sorry, Tamala besties, but I just don't like her 😭 I really wanted to like her so bad, but her aggressive flirting paired with her unwillingness to consider me a friend/equal just rubs me the wrong way
Tish: Absolutely beautiful person. I want to be her bffl. That is all
Zeki: Crime Cat, my beloved. He is the most entertaining Shepp option (imo). He's got an eye patch, a gold tooth, and shady practices. I find him amusing. I want him to like me. Share his (dubiously acquired) riches with me. Please accept me into the black market. I won't tell, but I can't promise I'll participate (I probably will 👀)

While I’m still on my Palia high can we talk about how sweet it is that Auni and Hassian hang out like 😭🫶 in one quest Auni tells player that Hassian was talking shit about them while playing cards and it’s like first off, HES talking about ME!? Giggling like a little school girl. Secondly, THEY’RE TALKING SHIT. It’s such a fun idea to think about those 2 goofballs spilling tea together. THINK ABOUT IT
Auni: Y’know Nai’o’s been slacking lately.. crop sales have been down smh… Mom hasn’t been very happy cause of it!
Hassian: that’s cause he’s sneaking off with his lil girlfriend. I was talking to Kenli and you didn’t hear this from me, but I saw Kenyatta SNEAKING OFF. AGAIN.
Auni: NO!
Hassian: 5TH TIME THIS WEEK. AND ITS ONLY TUESDAY.
Anyways yeah I love them a lot idk if you could tell. Also FANFIC WRITERS PLEEEEASSEEEEE RISE UP. QUALITY DOESNT MATTER WE NEED WORDS!!!!

YOUNGSTER AUNI CHALLENGES YOU
Summer time Auni aka, I didn’t want to draw his usual fit and I was also listening to Jort Storm
I firmly believe that the Daiya Family has a hand me down type system so that’s why Auni’s sporting a rabbits tail on his shirt cuz it’s oversized

Reasons why Nai'o is an amazing boyfriend, actually:
- hardworking
- skilled in homestead tasks - that man can cook, clean, garden, preserve, chop wood, fix furniture and probably mend and sew, too!
- emotionally intelligent
- remembers what you like and dislike
- sensitive and empathetic
- willing to communicate his feelings
- willing to listen to you
- loyal
- takes romance seriously (for me, that's a plus!)
- dorky and a little shy
- doesn't forget about you once you're out of sight (he tries out recipes to be able to make something delicious for you)
- helpful (the type that would get up at 2am for you, if needed)
- modest (poverty taught him some noble virtues)
- extremely generous (like his parents)
- not bothered by things considered gross, so would probably still love you the same if you got sick and he saw you throw up (you just know he wouldn't judge you for it, wouldn't even make a face)
- not afraid to be affectionate with you and give you compliments
- loves his little brother and wants you to join their trips (which I think is adorable)
- uses his parents as an example of how to romance you and these two are, like, the healthiest couple out there!
