OC asks up to March - Hikaru & Dylan's relationship & more~

(This is a scheduled post! I'm on break from April 7 to April 20!)

So the main answered asks in this round were turned into a more complex short comic and posted in a separate post - see it here! 

Below are the text answers to other questions sent to the OC inbox up until the end of March!

April OC inbox is open for prompts or questions! Feel free to drop some!

Sent to Enbi!

They really aren't looking. Enbi reels back into their own skin at the thought of themself sharing intimacy with anyone - a good part lack of personal interest, but for the most part, a lot of self denial and low self esteem.

Sent to Kuro!

Kuro isn't a mischievous spirit; they prefer to spend as little time as possible around any beings who could disrupt their sleazy routine - specially dogs, whom they generally disregard as dumber animals.

Zephyr isn't really a family or festivities guy - he's not particularly excited about the holidays. He'll usually spend this period helping out at the animal shelter he volunteers at (that get more traction at that time of the year), and getting drunk at random parties.

Sent to Ismedhai! The answer to this one depends on the iteration.

Canon Ismedhai is Hyatt's spitting image because he's a derivate from the original Hyatt. He has a distinct personality and drive because he's not a 1:1 copy - there's more in the mix - but carries the same life experiences and memories as original Hyatt up to some point.

On the exorcist x angel AU, on the other hand, Ismedhai really only imitates angel!Hyatt's appearance to f*ck with them, and his "true" form is a much more demonic one. He always assumes a form that is appealing for his target, so he doesn't want his true one to be seen. Good luck to you if you ever witness it.

Sent to Ismedhai! Same as the previous one; the answer depends on the iteration.

Canon Ismedhai does have strong feelings for both Hyatt and Zephyr. He considers himself a missing piece longing for its source, and he's completely driven towards reuniting with and facilitating (his idea of) Hyatt's happiness and fulfillment. And he inherited Hyatt's feelings for Zephyr, which in turn are twisted with lust and selfishness from the demonic part of the mix.

In the exorcist x angel AU, however, he really is a completely unrelated lusty entity who took a liking to them and stuck around.

Canon Ismedhai: he's utterly obsessed with Hyatt (and by extent, with Zephyr too) so even if he were to choose, he'd still choose to look like his source.

AU Ismedhai: his goal is to f*ck with people in every sense of the word, so he'd just keep taking whatever forms would be the most fun to f*ck around with his current targets. He can definitely take Zephyr's appearance, for example. :)

Fancy three-piece suits! It wasn't until college age that Hyatt allowed himself to seek masculine outfits - having been dressed in long dresses and skirts his whole life prior to realizing his identity. He still embraces daintiness in his style, and being a lover of classical, victorian inspired fashion, he feels amazing in a fancy dress shirt with a form-fitting vest.

Honestly it could be pronounced however the reader prefers - but I read it with brazilian portuguese accent! I have no idea how to explain the phonemas, so I'll link this dictionary site with an audio pronouncing Zezé the way I do.

The meta explanation behind the nickname is that Zephyr and Hyatt were originally created as characters for a TRPG campaign I play with my friends; Hyatt is my player character and has the habit to call his close friends a cute, shortened nickname. It's common in Brazil to take the first syllabe of someone's name and repeat it twice to make it into a cute pet name - and "Zezé" is a common nickname for an actual given name in Brazil, so it stuck. I wasn't satisfied with any of my localization attempts, so I just left it as Zezé when writing them in english and hoped the cuteness and closeness of it came across.

Bonus: I localize Zephyr calling Hyatt "birdie" in english, but in PT-BR he calls him "canarinho" - the diminutive form of "canário" (canary). It translates to "tiny canary", which is so fitting to Hyatt - being dainty, golden and a singer.

NSFW answers below!

Angel!Hyatt would be utterly appaled by the idea. Engaging in fornication in a sacred place... unthinkable! (Though the place where the first encounter with Ismedhai took place was an old church's ruins.)

Zephyr on the other hand is no stranger to f*cking in risky situations or sacred spaces; he wouldn't actively seek it or try to convince Hyatt to get on it, but he wouldn't be opposed to it if the occasion arised. It'd be pretty easy for their demonic friend to put them in such a situation.

I wouldn't go as far as saying he's embarrassed by any kinks - but compared to his usual cool, detached, and confident attitude - Zephyr does shy away from being upfront about his interests when Hyatt is the subject. Namely, wanting to spoil him as a service top, and entertaining the idea of getting the strap from his much smaller partner.
