How They Act Around Their Crush - Idia Shroud
CW: God save him he doesn't know how to act.
Tumblr media
Idia is not used to getting crushes on real, breathing people. He doesn't talk to people enough to get them, and most of the ones he has had have either been idols or 2d characters. He is desperately unprepared to catch feelings.
He sucks at being subtle about it. Whenever he is around them even he can tell he's being weird and gross. He stumbles over his words. He flushes when they say anything even slightly positive about him or does something he finds cute. He is sweating heavily and Oh, God, please don't let him sweat through his shirt! If he gets pit stains or sweat marks he will simply pass away.
He wants to be around them but also doesn't want to be around them. He loves spending time with them and they seem to click with him, but he also feels like he has been so weird that he feels obligated to try and squash the feelings before he spends more time with them.
(It doesn't work.)
Once they start spending time together again after Idia gives up on trying to get the feelings to go away, he definitely still acts a little weird. He gets a little better, for sure, but he still gets flustered around them and acts like he doesn't know how to talk to them.
He doesn't know how to flirt, so even if he tries, he more than likely gives up halfway through and asking them to nevermind what he was saying.
It's pretty unlikely he will make any more additional moves toward a relationship unless they show some kind of reciprocation. If they do, it will probably take quite a few big signs of their interest before he feels confident enough to confess to them.

Could we possibly have… tweel and sebek courting methods based on their species and personality?
Courting Rituals for Floyd, Jade, and Sebek
CW: Biting but that's all.
Tumblr media
Leech Twins
It was touched on briefly in the mating rituals post (NSFW), but Moray Eel Merfolk show their interest via wide-open mouths the same way that actual Moray Eels do. What that didn't mention, though, is that they tend to open their own mouths wide to display interest without even realizing they're doing it. It definitely looks strange: like they're either very intensely mouth-breathing OR like they're about to bite.
Speaking of biting, that can also be a sign of interest... of a sort. If they're attracted to someone, they're more likely to nip... but only when they're irritated. That's a sort of fast and loose definition of courtship, but they don't typically use their teeth on someone they aren't particularly close to.
Touch is a big sign of attraction for them. They're no strangers to roughing someone up if they need to, of course, but being gentle with someone is a very deliberate thing for both of them. Casual touching and gentle affection are a big sign that they care a lot. And, by extension, if their touches are flirty or suggestive, that's a pretty good sign they're into someone.
Dancing is a big sign for them. Eel merfolk wrap their bodies around each other in a sort of dance to express interest under the sea, and the closest they can get to that on land would be dancing. That doesn't mean dancing as in the breakdancing that Floyd likes-- that means intimate dancing. Think slow dancing, touching and getting as close into the object of their affection's space as they can.
Jade Leech
Specifically for Jade, he's a little bit hesitant to show his teeth. It's not something that's obvious without getting to know him, but he doesn't usually show his teeth unless he's threatening someone or he's exceptionally comfortable around them. It's a pretty good indication that he has interest in someone if they notice him smiling and showing his teeth, or even just relaxing about keeping his mouth closed.
Floyd Leech
Floyd doesn't realize a lot of the time that he is showing interest in someone. If someone is familiar with Eel courtship, he's not subtle about showing the signs that are in his nature. That being said, it can sometimes seem to be in direct conflict with his hot-and-cold emotional temperament, so he can be an especially hard nut to crack.
Sebek Zigvolt
This may sound bad, but Sebek's scent changes noticeably when he's interested in someone. Not horribly or anything, but it is a strong enough change to be discernable by human noses. It's a bit of a more musky, darker scent than before.
Touch is also a big one for Sebek. When he's interested in someone, he's much more open to touches. He won't actively seek them out, but he will let them touch him more than he would let anyone else. (With obvious exceptions.) If they seek out hugs or snuggle up to him, he likely won't object if he's interested in them.
This is where Sebek's personality clashes a bit with his instincts. See, his instincts tell him that he wants to display his interests by seeking them out for affection on his own. He wants to tuck them under his chin and hold them close. His mind however, tells him that would be incredibly embarrassing and he would be better served to focus his attentions on something else. Without the intervention of someone else, he's not likely to start being open with touches until well after he's already with a partner.
The other thing with Sebek... he's the sort of person who is very conscious of how he appears, and he cultivates his appearances very carefully. However, if he gets advice from someone he trusts (such as Lilia or Malleus) that he should persue someone, he will do it with no regard for how embarrassing it should be.

ngl I thought the puzzle piece as an autistic symbol meant like. I am a vital puzzle piece to your society. humans would never have invented half the things they did without us. you're telling me it means I'm missing something?? buddy. listen. listen to me reeeeaal closely. no human has all the pieces to humanity. no one. no one has all the features enables no one has all the strengths weaknesses or quirks. no one has a whole puzzle. we make the freaking complete picture together. that's the freaking point.
