#ockiingz Sosofo's a sick bastard who sells ppl forbidden tomes and is actively making lives worse (thinks hes enlightening people)
Kokoro for a much sadder reason. Not only would it be hard for ppl to accept them, they can't think of themselves as truly good bc of their origins. And too weak
#ockiingz Shion had a years long adhd moment of getting so absorbed in a sidequest he became a doctor (kinda) before becoming an adventurer
#ockiingz ("Those who know" meme)
Loving your wife so much you steal her color palette so people think of you when they see her.
#ockiingz: Shion was originally gonna be named Nagisa but they didn't cry at birth and their parents were worried and named them Shion (new sound) as a prayer for their voice to arrive. Now he can't stop talking!
#ockiingz Shion doesnt care, he's got no shame abt it. Unless their partner asks them to not talk abt it they'll be blunt, not oversharing but honest. He's ace but open to being intimate and doesn't really see it as a special thing but more like something fun to do from time to time so he dgaf
#ockiingz
Kokoro timeeee. Koko hates dirt and dust so much that cleaning is something it isn't too stubborn to do. It complains abt being told what to do but not with cleaning!
#ockiingz time to talk abt shion! He knows a lot about medicine with + without magic
They wanted to improve theie physical + magical strength but got sidetracked studying medicine + healing bc its related. Ended up being a medical student before he remembered his original goal lol. It helped tho!
#ockiingz Stubborn n short-sighted. The oft-mentioned inferiority complex makes him so desperate to prove himself hes reckless (working on it in canon but that doesnt mean its completely gone away) hes so self-sacrificing he leaves ppl behind to fight alone (repeating the cycle yasi began) 1/2
#ockiingz Apple is cautious he knows the science behind them n that theyre safe but the whole concept of it makes his skin crawl. The possibility that it could go wrong and *change* him horrifies him but he still does it if the people hes traveling w are using it lol
#ockiingz Lalas dont really Have surnames so they combined them
Appaneli Bananeli -> Appaneli Taruneli
Pipin Tarupin -> Pipin Bapin
Others:
Shion keeps his last name in his relationships
Even if Yasi considered relationships she'd keep it since she's called by her surname by default
#ockiingz I'm noticing apple has been getting cooler and cooler glams and less cutesy... im disrupting their balance LOL
#ockiingz
Both of Apple's are dead, and while his mom would've been supportive his dad would've wanted him to stay home and be a fisher too. Yasi (cousin) had to be a sort of guardian for him and accidentally hurt him emotionally because they were both young and she was overprotective 1/2
#ockiingz I was gonna think on his relationships w the other lalas but remembered their ages hed probably be more protective of them than be friends (over-protection n isolation themes continuing) sorry Apple. Papalymo is out of his age range in the other direction...
#ockiingz the pinapple wedding was small, close friends and family only! It was near the sylph village and they showered the couple in flowers! There was a small celebration after the ceremony and they even switched clothes for some pictures. I did make a photoshoot but I gotta redo it...
#ockiingz Kokoro used to be a silly thing but I ended up giving it separation anxiety. Oops.
#ockiingz
Apple: Doesn't get jealous but wondered for a while if someone better for Pipin would come along and how theyd react. Before, theyd give up but now they know that the one for him is them. He wouldnt deal with/help with all their problems if he didnt want to stay by their side. 1/3
#ockiingz incredibly awkward lol. Pipin initiated the first kiss and Apple (red hair era so rly shy) was worried they did something wrong bc its been a couple weeks and hadnt happened again. They bit their tongue asking if it was okay to kiss him and it turned out he was just worried 1/2
#ockiingz Apple is repulsed by the idea. When Feo Ul offers this she vehemently rejects it. She's had enough of outliving people.
Kokoro doesn't even know what it's lifespan will look like, it's terrified of mortality and immortality at the same time. It lives like it could die at any moment. 1/2
