Endearment

terms

of

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.

Perhaps I am a bit of a traditionalist however I tend to go with something that rolls off the tongue effortlessly but do not sound too condescending-- thus, dearest, love and my heart are ones that I find that I lean onto.

[ The sentimental pile of Wizard sap, sorry he's a nerd and he's also a romantic. Bad combo all around ]

I mean, if I like you, I will call you by your name. If I give you a cutesy pet name, I'm probably going to kill you.

[She's... not much for sentiment.]

We have terms typical of Cavelian speech, like pearl and coral by those who live by the coast or amber or garnet in the more central areas. I have also heard coal used in endearment, but never outside the capital and I wouldn't like to call any lover of my by such a name. Amber is most familiar to me but by the right person, I could -- be inspired to rebel and call you garnet.

Ohh, Ohhh, I love nicknames. I love making them up and dishing them out. Hell, I love it when people give me nicknames. It doesn't matter if I like you or not, eventually you are gonna get some type of term of endearment, but if I like you, it is gonna definitely be something nice.

It depends on the person, and tends to be something related to a physical trait of theirs I find particularly lovely, or a personality trait I find particularly endearing. Terms of endearment ought to be personalized.

That being said, and I am also fond of sweetheart, or love.

Please put that gun off my head... That is unnecessary... Um anyway, I don't know maybe like ? ?

Hot stuff? Sexy? Cutey? I kinda like just waiting for the moment to happen, but I only ever have been able to give my anime boyfriends cute names... Like Grubhub is for G'raha Tia - who is from the critically acclaimed hit series Final Fantasy XIV - but um also, then there's Chuchu! [ Cu Chulain. ] You know silly things like that... Okay can I go now?
