terms

endearment

Pookie. Honey bear. That Bastard. Sun and stars, moon of my life. Prince of Darkness.

Pet names. Love 'em. Hate 'em. Whether they send you swooning or get your eyeballs rolling, they own at least a little charm. Sometimes, with the right combo of words, we just can’t get enough!

Does your character have an alias for that special someone in their life? Don’t worry, you can tell us. And the character that affectionate nickname belongs to.

▶ For the top-level folks: DO NOT LEAVE YOUR COMMENT BLANK. After you set up your name/canon/preference header, go into the comment and fill us in on what pet name would be your character's go-to. Gun to their head, if that's the necessary provision.

▶ For the reply folks: their character just called your character...that. You read it. That. Go nuts.

[Dear, darling, lovely...his pet names are a little too sweet for someone as off-putting as he is. He'll also use Japanese diminutives, like '-chan', '-chin', and '-kun'.]

[ooc; she's not used to hearing terms of endearment from anyone other than her parents. but let's try some things out and see what sticks.]

Queen has the best terms of affection.]

[ooc; call him any iteration of 'good boy' and he'll melt. let's try some things out and see what sticks.]

[ songbird analogies are always a+ ]

[ooc; poor thing is so bereft. let's try some things and see what sticks.]

- Bud
- Pal
- Friendo
- Hey You

And probably some weird incomprehensible nickname that barely makes sense even as an injoke.

[ooc; call him any iteration of 'good boy' and he'll melt. let's try some things out and see what sticks.]

[ooc; lol all my boys are very predictable. like cassian and ben, call him any iteration of 'good boy' and he'll melt. let's try some things out and see what sticks.]

[ooc; compliment her on how capable she is, maybe. let's try some things out and see what sticks.]

[Honestly this would be somewhat variable depending on who he's talking to but standbys INCLUDE:
- My prince/princess
- "Good boy" "Good girl"
- Love
- Cutie
- ...And honestly anything, feel free to wildcard this because there's a possibility of Emery just calling you whatever just to see how you react.]

[ooc: My sweet, my own, my love. Pls claim him as your own.]

[ooc: What Nico said. But also tell her how capable she is.]

( all terms of endearment are tailored specifically to the person she's with, because not putting that kind of personal touch on something is beyond her. on the flipside? she'll respond to just about anything, i'm sure, as long as it's genuine. go nuts. )
