WOW WE SURE HAVE HAD A LOT OF NOT!MEMES LATELY

and it's my turn! Specifically, what does your character find attractive in others? it could be physical traits, personality traits, hobbies, that Sims-esque heart-shaped hot tub full of somebody else's blood in their back room, anything - what do they look for in a prospective partner? do they admit to looking for these things? do they event realize they look for these things? Do they look at all?

lol uh. TERRA DOESN'T... FIND PEOPLE ATTRACTIVE in a way that affects her! Or rather, she finds people attractive/funny/charming/etc, but it doesn't mean anything to her. Physical attraction pretty much does not exist for her on its own level. By nature of what she is, she notices (magical) power in people sooner than pretty much any other trait, so I guess if anything you could say she's attracted to... magic... people who go out of their way to do a bajillion nice things for her get bumped up in favor, I guess. I've said it before, I'm sure, but despite the fact she's ~dating~ someone who's in love with her, she's not actually feeling romantic love for him. Whoops!

Ruka is attracted to pretty boys. Very, very pretty boys. With stupid eye colors and nice hair and more often than not a hidden motivation to do her or someone she cares about harm. WHOOPS. Also frequently not human (as canon gives us a ghost that kidnaps her and tries to kill her brother, a time-traveling robot that ... kidnaps her (more than once) and tries to kill her AND her brother, and some other guy they wrote out of the show). Also kidnappers, apparently!

Personality-wise they can range from sweet and shy to forward and charming to aloof asshole, so she doesn't seem to have a type in regards to that (except maybe the ~mystery~) but... yeah. Very pretty.

[pluckyreporter]

Ruka and Roxanne need to start the 'Date My Kidnapper' Club or something o_o Sheesh.

MAGIC!

But really, her long-term relationships all tend to bloom from short-term. A physical attraction is almost always the first thing because of that, but there are characters she'll be drawn to after having known them for a while (such as Daniel Cassidy). Usually, anyone that lasts is in someway connected to the occult.

Usually she goes for men that are a little older and more experienced, even if she teaches them as much as they teach her. The most prominent love interest she's had is John Constantine, though the most popular and well-known has been Bruce. I have a lot of ~*~feelings~*~ about that, but I'm not going to get into them now.

There actually are very little similarities overall, but she does seem to physically go for brunettes with glasses (I'm not kidding lasdfg) and blondes that have similar a similar appearance and build to Constantine. I would say she likes taller, stronger men, but... it's comics. They're not few and far between.

Personality-wise, anything lasting tends to be one that compliments her own. Similar, but not entirely. Characters like Doctor Thirteen (who don't believe in magic...) were more based along the search for truth. She likes passionate men who know what they like, what they want, how they feel... and she also tends to be drawn to characters she knows will never be good for a lasting relationship.

Basically... uh. She'll take most anything, at least if her relationship with Blue Devil is any indication. But she does seem to have a "type" which would be men that resemble Constantine and Sargon or Doctor Thirteen (and a bunch of one-shot, no names). Usually a more "rough" look that comes with the former and maybe a hat and a trenchcoat.

I play the Joker.

That...should be my entire response to this.

...But I think I have a more in depth answer.

The clown is an equal-opportunity flirt and will shmooze all over just about anyone regardless of gender (http://i.imgur.com/haF7j.jpg). His sexual orientation is whatever makes you uncomfortable.

At his core, though, he does have desires that are entirely his own and he seems to prefer the company of women who can embrace him for who, and what, he is. He likes having someone he can talk to and rattle off ideas to without fear of being judged. That's why, despite seemingly having quite a few flings over the years (some even sexual), he's been in VERY few actual relationships. Harley is the only person to know him as the Joker and love him completely. To the point of obsession, really. And....this is controversial, I know... but I think he loves her back. He cannot properly process or express "love" and he cannot love selflessly, but he does love her. If he didn't, she'd be dead. He abuses her because he doesn't know what to make of his own feelings (please note I'm not saying this makes it okay, it's just WHY he does it). In Secrets (which may or may not be canon depending on who you ask) he confides in Batman, saying that he knows he has to destroy a person when he realizes he might have feelings for them. And he knows this when he weeps real tears around them. In the main continuity Harley is the only person to have seen Joker cry. (All of this said, Joker did create Harley Quinn and he sees some of himself within her so there is an autosexual aspect to this messed up romance. Joker is, after all, his own favorite person.)

Consciously, he doesn't realize he's even looking for a partner. He likes to think of himself as forever alone in the spotlight and anyone who seeks to join him there is padding their role; but he IS a social creature at heart and it will always take at least two people to get a joke.

Oh...he also enjoys people who share his unusual tastes in bedroom antics but the less said about that the better.

[girlyboywonder.livejournal.com]

that is so delightfully horrible

[sh-consulting.livejournal.com]

Sherlock I'm pretty sure is an asexual. At the very least he is not interested in women ("Girlfriend?... Not really my area.") Though there are a couple vague references in the show to people who know him being convinced that he's gay. When he brings watson to a couple places, people who know sherlock assume they're a couple. but sherlock turns watson down pretty nicely when he (mistakingly) takes a few of watson's comments as showing romantic interest in him. "I'm flattered, but I consider myself married to my work..." He is not so kind to women who express interest in him. At all. He does, however, very much enjoy John's company, but not really anyone else's, mostly because people don't know how to deal with him. So I guess you could say he's attracted (in a non-sexual way) to people who think he is awesome and put up with him for more than five minutes...? In my personal head-canon John is Sherlock's non-sexual soul mate, but I doubt he would ever think of it that way.


Mi Ho is a very loving person and kind of loves all humans. She likes attractive men, but more importantly she likes people who are kind, who don't lie, but who forgive their friends who do. She likes people who accept her. She's very big about feelings and doesn't really think through things so much, so if she feels that she likes someone she REALLY DOES and she will let them know ALL THE TIME even if it isn't reciprocal.

[lyntergalactic]

Oh, this is a hard question... (thinking)

KARA is attracted to snarky people and quippers. If they can't banter with her, she's just not that interested. She's also kind of attracted to assholes??? Like... Brainiac 5 is p much the love of her life in canon. (As much as she can have one when she's not going to live to see 25.) And then she dated Terry who... can be an asshole sometimes... AND WE DON'T TALK ABOUT POWER BOY but she dated him too and then he tried to make her his Apokaliptan love slave and yeah :'|

JIM is attracted to green. No, I'm kidding. He likes smart people. He prefers witty people too, but there is something about smart people that really turns him on. Which is not to say he probably wouldn't sleep with someone who isn't the brightest bulb in the box, but. Yeah. Smart people and intellectual conversation means he's going to stick around.

GWEN doesn't... really have a type? Mostly because she keeps people at arms length so much and she really doesn't want to let anyone close enough to her to actually have a romantic relationship. So if she were to ever date someone it would have to be someone who could worm their way past all the walls she's built up and then not be afraid to call her on her shit when she freaks out and pushes people away and/or runs away from her problems.

CAROL ............... god, idek. The ideal person for her would probably be someone who lets her be her own woman and lets her be strong, but is there for her when she just needs to bring herself down and say, okay, I need a break to recharge because I can't do this anymore. Also someone she can joke around with and just relax around. But she'll date random people she met because she smashed something into their building during a fight so... /SHRUG



Oh, also, since this probably has some relevance... Gwen is pretty much the only character of mine that is mostly straight. :|b Kara and Jim are both pansexual (Kara's had crushes across like six different species and Jim's probably the same way. Both of them think that gender really has no bearing on who they like, especially since they both know of species who don't view gender in a binary. Though they sort of lean more towards the opposite sex when it comes to being attracted to people, neither of them would bat an eye at being attracted to someone of the same gender or no gender or both or whathaveyou.), and I've always read Carol as a semi-in-the-closet bisexual and she's made at least one comment before about finding ladies hot. Gwen is around a one on the kinsey scale in my head. Pretty much straight, but it's not completely impossible that someday she would be attracted to someone that isn't male.

[trollverine]

I've always read Carol as a semi-in-the-closet bisexual

[titaness]

DONNA; ● In canon, Donna’s had maybe 5 major love interests. I don’t know if she necessarily has a type, but she tends to decide when she likes someone fairly quickly (usually within the first issue or even few pages of her meeting them). Her ex-husband, Terry, was a professor who was…decidedly-80s looking. He and Roy Harper, Donna’s first boyfriend, both had red hair, so maybe that’s a thing for her? But then you have Coeus and Kyle, who had black hair and look nothing like the rest.

Relationship-wise, Donna seems to fluctuate between liking people she can mother and people who take care of her, and usually comes to a happy-medium somewhere in the middle. She seems to like the caretaker role, though, and likes people who are physically and emotionally affectionate and who respect her. I would say that physical attraction is a big deal to her, but then we had Terry…

I think it's also important to note that things go PLATONIC really quickly for Donna, sometimes. Like, if she hasn't decided the romance is a factor within the first few times she's met someone, they are friendzoned basically for life except in extenuating circumstances.

ALSO in canon she seems to have largely stepped back from relationships. In the past she dealt with one by flinging herself into another--when Terry died she broke up with Kyle but then had a thing with Roy, when Coeus sacrificed himself to save the world she proceeded to makeout with Roy two panels later...wow it is almost always Roy. But since HORRIBLE THINGS tend to happen to people she gets close to, she hasn't been actively seeing anyone for awhile, though she's still a very romantic person.

Sexuality-wise, I think she tends to lean towards men but she's definitely had some fairly intimate relationships with women (see: Kori), and if the situation was right she wouldn't have a problem with having a relationship with one. She actively compliments/admired both genders physically, at least.

CLINT; ● Basically, I see Clint as being decidedly emotionally and physically needy. He tends to fall in love with women who are capable, smart, and don’t take any crap from him (see: Natasha, Bobbi, Wanda, Jessica). I think he likes the idea of having a person who challenges him and also excels in areas he doesn’t, even if his own ego sometimes undermines that second point. It’s probably also just a byproduct of the writing style of most comics, but the back-and-forth banter is also usually characteristic of his relationships.

Physical attraction is also a really big factor for him, since he mentions often enough how he views people’s looks. Based on his past romantic interests, I think he has a thing for long hair.

All said and done, Clint is pretty much a flirt, and while he has this independent streak he really wants someone who supports him, challenges him, and it just a constant presence for him.

Also I see him as being largely straight. And he has a penchant for liking people who are not the best choices for him. Safe/stable relationships aren't what he thinks he wants, but they are perhaps want he secretly desires.

DAMIAN; ● Damian is ten years old, and (despite the awkward shipping tendencies of most of the Batfam tumblr fandom), isn’t really interested one way or the other. In canon, there are hints that he has a crush on Katana, whom he asks Dick about, and also maybe Cassandra (at least until he actually meets in her in Gates of Gotham). Those “crushes” seem to be based entirely off those women’s fighting prowess and capability, however, and perhaps a lot less on physical features. He talks to Dick and Alfred about dating re: the way Bruce does it, but is basically just dismissive and thinks that Bruce’s antics are ridiculous.

When we go into Morrison’s flashforward universe in Batman 666, Damian is shown to have essentially grown old alone. I have a few different and really ridiculous theories about this, but essentially at this point in time Damian judges people based on how useful, ferocious, or capable they are, and not on any romantic scale.

[titaness]

But it's probably worth mentioning that if/when he begins having those types of preferences, he'd still lean towards the "are you intelligent/useful/impressive" aspects before others.

Sexuality-wise I have no theories as of yet since he's so uninterested, but I can definitely see him rebelling against the playboy-Wayne persona by not being overtly flirtatious or romantic.

I also think he'd largely gravitate towards people who were vocally very affectionate, who would constantly be able to tell him they love him even if he wasn't as forthcoming that way.

ALTVERSE Damian fell in love with Nightstar because she was badass, beautiful, and also very emotionally cathartic for him. He even said that having her kept him from going the route of his grandfather, and that he needed her light to stop from slipping into darkness. WEIRD IMAGERY AND PURPLE PROSE ASIDE, I think that's what Damian looks for in all of his relationships, not just hypothetical romantic ones.

[viced]

I love not!memes so much!

Tony has a few qualities he's particularly fond of. First: female. Second: anything else. Okay, so he actually has a penchant for redheads and Asian women, but for casual hook ups, as long as they're female and are reasonably attractive, he'll have some fun. As for relationships, he's never actually actively looking for one. All of his honest to god serious relationships just seem to happen, but since his last serious girlfriend was killed, he hasn't really wanted anyone to be subjected to the horrible drama that is his life, or to suffering through his intimacy issues or work streaks. His serious partners are always women who are very strong in their own way. Bethany was the strength of will that he absolutely needed when he was figting his alcoholism, and Rumiko had a strong personality that absolutely refused to play second-fiddle to the big metal machine in their life. Pepper, of course (his one true love that will never be fuck you matt fraction) is the embodiment of everything he actually wants in a woman (even though Tony doesn't think he could deserve her) which is pretty much the will to keep on going, and to slap him in his place. He just has such horrid intimacy issues that he struggles with the 'L' word more than someone from a language without that word.

Mitchell is a lot different than...most people. Mitch doesnt look for partners. Period. I think the interesting thing is that it's not that he's interested in something that isn't really sentient (okay he really isn't a mechanophile) but he's interested in what he can't have. More, he can't have it both ways. Mitch has to choose between power and an intimate relationship (because let's face it, you couldn't be openly gay and run for president; and hiding it is pretty much going to end in an absolute disaster) and I don't think he ever really looked before he went into politics either. I really think he was the kind of guy that struggled to make any interpersonal connections in the office, and so he had absolutely nobody to go to after his accident except Bradbury and Kremlin. So yeah, he pretty much does not look period because he can't even though I think the last issue sold it that he secretly does want a partner, and when it falls right into his lap...he pretty much has to force himself to push them away because if he doesn't, then he thinks the entire world is going to burn without him in power somehow.


And maybe the others later idk

[terra]

Oh I did this one before.

NATASHA — is pretty much attracted to prettyboy herotypes whose brash confidence mask brooding insecurities. The occasional canon deviations from this have not been well-handled. (Though I can at least explain Hercules.) I think she has a high degree of self-awareness about this. here is previous tl;dr

BUCKY— likes action girls who can call him out on his bullshit. also non-Americans. and he appreciates a nice pair of legs. fandom likes to give him a thing for redheads sometimes but i do not see it. but yeah... he's not looking for typical 1940s domesticity. see here. oh and he is more talk than action, he's never had time to be in a real ongoing relationship. (he is in love with someone but lol war)

LOKI— doesn't like anyone. previous semi-detail

[terra]

Oh, I see Natasha & Bucky both as largely straight (though I have same-sex pairings I like w/both of them), Loki is ????

Jessica I think is closer to bisexual.

[eppy]

I LOVE THESE NOTMEMES.

yusuke urameshi;

[eppy]

keiko is his be all end all.

however, i think that if he'd never met keiko, or if for some reason he'd stayed in the demonworld, he'd have ended up with someone almost exactly like her in demonform, or someone like jin, who revels in fighting and battle as much as he does.

yusuke needs someone who pushes back at him and pushes back hard. he needs someone who can call him on his crap and smack him around if need be. the thing about keiko and jin and the various other members of team urameshi that he gets shipped with is that all these people understand him and the great love affair he has with violence and punching things.

gender isn't actually a huge thing for yusuke. keiko is his soulmate, but she would be his soulmate in any form. someday i will meta on this or something, but yes, i think it's less about the physical and more about the mental with him.

[hotforbabyleg.livejournal.com]

OH GOD OKAY LET ME FIND LUST AND ARADIA'S ANSWERS FROM THE LAST TIME WE DID THIS, IT'S WAY TOO TL;DR TO REPLICATE. WHILE I DO THAT...

Marceline likes bad boys! She's been weened off of this, mostly, since her last serious boyfriend was a huge dickhead (see icon), but it's still kinda there! So she appreciates whatever the Adventure Time version of a grungy rocker aesthetic is, as well as a sort of... dickish attitude, but she can also be attracted to more normal, "good" for her people! It just comes with a lot of playful attitude about how prissy they are. Either way, they can't be a pushover! She also has daddy issues, okay? Okay. All of these things are things she would pretty much never cop to, though, because she's an emotionally constipated spoon and that's how she rolls. SPOILERS, THIS WILL NEVER MANIFEST IN GAME BECAUSE SHE'S A FUCKING SPOON. LEAH DON'T PLAY THAT.

Aradia isn't looking, and never really was the type to deliberately look for anyone to be in a relationship with! This is something she'd be open about, if anyone ever cared to ask, which she won't. She's a pretty independent girl, and also six solar sweeps you guys. EITHER WAY her ideal type would probably be fun-loving and funny and kind, someone who she can go on adventures with and who isn't aggressive, creepy, bigoted, or unhinged. Physically, she doesn't have many preferences! She just wants someone who's willing to do the right thing and can share her stupid enthusiasm about ruins and shit.

SO WHY THE FUCK IS SHE DATING EQUIUS YOU MIGHT ASK i don't know either BUT OKAY. Equius was someone who, when alive, she disliked very much, and as a robot, he was one of the few people who she was actually able to feel anything for on rare occasions (SPOILERS THE FEELING WAS "WHAT A DOUCHEBAG"), plus someone who shared her destructive tendencies. Now that she's alive again, she hates him less and has warmed to him a lot more and isn't sure of what to do! But since she has plenty of pity, which as we all know is the foundation of any healthy matespritship, she's just going to call it that for the time being. Troll relationships sure are weird.

PLACEHOLDER

ERIDAN

[amoray]

is... something. The short answer is: anything with two legs and a pulse. The long answer is: it's complicated.

In times of desperation, he'll go with whoever will take him, regardless of whether they're a good fit or, you know, actually interested. Have you ever hated him? Bam, you're kismesis material. Do you pity him? That's great, he could use a matesprit. Have you ever told him he's doing something that's stupid as shit? Welcome to hell, population you and your brand new moirail Eridan Ampora. Now sit down because he has some things to talk about.

However, I don't think that he legitimately has absolutely no qualms about who he's with. He has a natural disposition towards people high within their own class systems, towards royalty of any sort, towards seadwellers, and towards people who aren't afraid to get their hands (gills?) dirty. Having a flair, whether in dress or disposition, for the dramatic is also a huge plus. He is bi/pan/etc.sexual, as is most of the troll race, but seems to explicitly go to women for his quadrants more often than not. The exception was Sollux, that mustardblood.

Still, other than being royalty, Feferi was basically the exact opposite of everything Eridan thought he stood for. She wanted to help the weak instead of kill them off, she was the fun and exuberant to his moody and confrontational, and in their moirallegiance, she was the + to his -.

Which is why I'm pretty sure he just has a thing for being challenged, on the surface. He wants confrontation. He wants drama. He wants somebody who isn't afraid to disagree or even fight with him over something - he can't stand people without passion, whether it's for feeding the homeless or taking care of animals or murdering the fuck out of lowbloods. He needs somebody that gets ----EXCIT--ED!! about something, whether or not he agrees with it, because he's a very passionate individual himself. Just, you know, about killing people. And under that, in some teeny place he refuses and will never acknowledge, he wants to be cared for. He wants a nurturing type who will deal with all of his issues and listen to his bitching and never betray him, and most importantly never leave him completely alone again, because they love him that much.

Unfortunately, that will never happen. Because he refuses to acknowledge that there could ever be anything wrong with how he acts. And he sabotages himself! This is why he can never be content, how vvery sad. :'(

[nine-tries.livejournal.com]

Thomas Blake tends to seek women who can absolutely ruin him, physically and emotionally! As a rule, all of his… relationships (the “jack off in this cup” one with Cheshire and the awk. “kiss once and then dramatically break apart” one with Huntress, THE ENTIRE TWO) are ones doomed to fail from the beginning anyway, so. YES. But, yeah. He’s definitely drawn to women who are just as much or potentially more physically capable than he is, and getting beaten down by such women only really encourages him to pursue them. And treading the line of morally grey is a super attractive quality for him. SMOKING, EVEN.

and he likes people with dark hair for like, some reason??/

Oh, and people who are slightly tormented like he is. Tension and conflict are somewhat of a sexual thing for him, and I doubt he’d be very sexually attracted to someone who is consistently happy with their life, of anything. It’s all about being somewhat of equals, a type of strained kinship between the two of them—and when he finds that kinship, he falls. Hard.

And I play him as predominantly heterosexual, but there’s a little bit of curiosity underlying it! He wouldn’t really pursue or even try to initiate anything with another man, but it’s not necessarily out of the question.

[fingerbang]

LMFAO JACK OFF IN THIS CUP

it's funny because it's true

[hacktivist]

PLACEHOLDING I need to go shower

GHOST

[hacktivist]

Ghost has proven he has a love for the ideal, untouchable, the mission, what he believes in - he must love it, or he wouldn't put it ahead of everything else. It trumps his health, his hobbies, his personal comfort, his grudge against Stark, everything. I believe before she played him, Ghost loved Shana, at least insofar as he understood love. He was eager and naive and idealistic and a little deliberately blind, because even if she hadn't been using him for Omnisapient's money, she'd be using him for his own money (just...he wasn't that attractive and personality wise he was difficult to connect with, not saying pretty girls can never like unattractive fumbly guys, but it wasn't that likely in this case).

I also believe he is attracted to Moonstone, based purely on how nervous he is around her, and has a fair amount of lust for Satana (based on how her demonic attention totally short-circuited him) but ultimately he is more comfortable with people who he feels understand him, or at least who he feels he can understand (cyborgs, criminals and social deviants!)

oh god this is embarrassing

[hotforbabyleg.livejournal.com]

OKAY, AND LUST.

First of all, Lust almost never has longterm relationships (and if she has, they were for Father's mastah plan), and she never never forms romantic attachment. Her strange, quasiromantic thing with Knives is pretty much as close as she'll ever come to forming an emotional attachment to someone not in her immediate family, and y'all had better pray it never happens again because that shit was horrifying. Whether or not she's actually incapable of romantic or platonic love, or really anything beyond her fondness for Father and her bros, she certainly thinks she is! And she thinks that is how things should be, and that is, without exception, how they'll always be! BUT SHE SURE CAN WANT TO BONE SOMEONE. It just manifests itself in different forms depending on whether the person in question is human or not!

In the case of physical attraction, it's not necessarily anything to do with how a person looks so much as how they act, although they should of course be healthy and not totally deformed. Lust enjoys being challenged, although she likes #WINNING more, and she really, really likes determination. She has a huge boner for determination, and an even bigger one for competent ruthlessness. Principles are also attractive, especially when people won't back down on them, but they also make a person kind of pathetic and easily manipulable! Mostly, she likes thinking that she can crush a person, and that's what any relationship she has with a human--provided she's invested in it--is always going to end up with. Sex is alright, but killing and manipulating people, or watching their resolve crumble, is fucking awesome.

When it comes to like, actually relating to people and not just wanting to entangle herself in a DEADLY SEXY DANCE SYMBOLIZING A DEADLY SEXY FIGHT TO THE DEADLY SEXY DEATH, they have pretty much always got to be nonhuman, since those are the only people that Lust's ~pride as a homunculus~ can justify getting close to! Physicality, again, isn't as huge a factor; it's all in how they act and carry themselves. Nonhumans who are like at least a hundred are the most preferable, of course, but she cannot really be picky. No regard for human life is the biggest plus, as well as a pretty healthy heaping of disdain for humans in general! That way they can bond by... making veiled comments about how much they such... anyway my point is she can't get along with anyone who's going to be like hey Lust why you gotta kill those innocent people. Loyalty to family is another good thing, and not trusting her is a double plus. She has to see them as equalish to her, or "deserving" her, to get anywhere near close to sleeping with someone.

Gender isn't a consideration in these things, but they do have to be physically strong--or intelligent and ambitious, in Eddie's case HEH--enough to pose an actual threat to her in order to pique her interest. Also, you know what is sexy? Healing factors that are mild enough for her to still be able to kill the person. You know why? Because she fucking loves stabbing.

jessica drew

[arakhnes.livejournal.com]

short answer: MJ. long answer: IT'S STUPIDLY COMPLICATED. since jessica is pretty much peter, she's generally interested in what he is -- which is smart, but not smarter than her, pretty, great personality, and good on the jokes. peter's technically been in ... hrm... about three relationships? mj, gwen, and kitty, but jess has only been in one. it's a common fact that all the clones were created with an undying loyalty and love for mj, even though she'll never pursue it. so yes, jess loves mj with all of her heart. more than anything else.

which, you know, brings up the whole -- is she bisexual or a lesbian or whatever, thing. i mean, obviously she's not a lesbian since, oh, hi johnny, but i do play her with an undercurrent of interest with girls. however, i think someone mentioned that if you're cloned as a heterosexual, you will be a heterosexual, no matter the gender? well, whatever, i don't want to get into that DON'T YOU COMMENT TO THIS TRYING TO ARGUE ABOUT IT CANON DOESN'T TOUCH IT SO NEITHER DO I CRYIN.

but the only love interest we do see for her, johnny, pretty much falls under most of her romantic requirements -- pretty, great personality, and good on jokes. however, a lot of the reason why she does date him (me headcanoning this btw since bendis seems to have forgotten about it) is that he's one of the few people who likes her for who she is and cares only about her and not anything else no strings attached. of course, this is probably just a translation of the Great Bromance that is peter and johnny from 616 universe, but i guess we'll never know.

what needs to be kept in mind though is that she is a teenager and therefore, hasn't had enough romantic and relationship experience to realize what exactly her type is (besides MJ) or what she's looking for in a partner.

....................... what am i saying oh my god i'm just vomiting words

[not-polish.livejournal.com]

TWOEY is a plant that reproduces asexually so this meme really doesn't apply to him. All he cares about it eating and getting bigger, so anyone willing to feed him is attractive in his invisible eyes. If there's anyone out there who'd be considered his type, it might be Ivy. But he has no sexual drive though he has a concept of what's attractive and what isn't but mainly it's : lol I don't give a fuck just feed me.

SALLY is. Well. She likes men. All sorts of men. Any man who's willing to flirt with her and treat her well. She loves surrounding herself with those sorts of men, and really pines for any form of male attention. She just...has a really bad habit of liking men who aren't good for her. After all, she had a perfectly wonderful man pining after her, a guy who'd actually make her life not suck if she went ahead and dated him/married him had he goteen the courage to ask her out. But instead she chose to marry her agent who was an asshole and there's speculation that he might have been gay, and then of course there's Eddie. MINUS HOLLIS SHE HAS AWFUL TASTES OKAY. She really likes men who really like her, let's just say (as an example, Hollis who has a fanboy crush on her and Eddie's who...has a special sort of 'love' towards her if we can even call it that). She doesn't have a specific type besides a general attractiveness (LARRY IS AN EXCEPTION HER MARRIAGE TO HIM WAS HONESTLY ANOTHER BUSINESS DEAL). Hollis was a handsome man, and Eddie in his prime was actually pretty attractive too. She probably doesn't go for effeminate-looking men, but men who uphold the "American standard" of manliness.

Gosh okay but tl;dr Sally's taste is really hard to pin down so let's just go with a) they're relatively attractive by some means, b) she can enjoy flirting with them and c) they make her feel appreciated and desirable.

DRACO likes someone that will fawn over him and think he's amazing and handsome. B)

But, really, Draco's on the cusp of things. Less than a year before all he needed was for someone to think he was amazing and give him gifts and other treats for him to consider it some sort of relationship. I don't think he really had any beside Pansy Parkinson, though, probably just dalliances otherwise, and even then Pansy wasn't the love of his life or anything like that.

But now he's absolved himself of that relationship, and has no interest in any such matters back home, being too busy being full of regret and fearing for his and his parents' lives. Now that he's here in the City he couldn't really fathom anyone liking him like that, but I feel that if he were to be attracted to someone here on a more meaningful level they would have to find him pretty cool, but at the same time not put up with his shit or give it back. Keep him on his toes. Someone that could also help him feel safe. Basically, something more meaningful would be what he is looking for here on out if he could even accept the fact someone likes him for him and didn't just want something from him. Gender/not-pureblooded probably wouldn't matter for him either, as long as he's getting all these nice things out of the relationship.

Also: they should be pretty. :3a

So yeah, pretty much what I'm saying is not even Draco really knows exactly what he's looking for atm.

FINN is a little boy and likes bubblegum ladies. But he could also go for ladies that like ADVENTURE!! as well.

AGH LSAT STUDYING

[gofortheoptics]

Tali likes someone who holds steady to their ideals and will be patient with her re: her crippling inability to accurately convey how she feels about someone without being hideously awkward about it. She needs to be able to trust someone deeply to even start to develop romantic feelings for them; growing up as a quarian meant that the only way to be in contact with someone in a romantic manner was to remove her suit or link it to another quarian's suit. Both of these things inevitably end up with the quarian in question becoming sick, so it's a huge commitment. As of Tali's entrance into the game, she has yet to link her suit with anyone. She is a romantic virgin in all senses of the term because she's always put her work ahead of pursuing a relationship, and as a result she's pretty idealistic when it comes to what she expects. While she's human here and doesn't have to worry about the whole 'getting sick and almost dying' aspect of intimacy, she still holds on to all the hang-ups she developed because of her suit...but at the same time will probably feel a little more secure with 'experimenting' because there's less risk involved in her human form.

JULIAN SARK

[bydefection.livejournal.com]

lol Sark is a twisted motherfucker basically.

All of the women in canon that he falls head over heels for, are incredibly strong women (and they also are usually blonde, but that's neither here nor there) -- women who are generally more than willing to take other peoples lives to suit their needs, are incredibly ambitious, and are domineering towards not only everyone else, but him as well. The scene's he's the most turned on are the ones where he's being dominated and/or told what to do by a woman with substantial power... or if he's watching her kill someone. He really likes that too.

He also usually falls for women that don't... really love him back, as is undoubtedly consequence of the personalities of the women he tends to like (his main romance in the show involves a woman who's married). Or they just have every intention of using him for some reason or another, but Sark is really bad about really falling in love with people. The women he loves are the main people who fuck him over.

It could probably be said that he likes women who are INCREDIBLY similar to the woman who practically raised him, as he kind of is also in major lust with this woman's daughter, and it's probably his biggest dream to get to bang her.

IN A NUTSHELL, he's attracted to power.

side note: i've seen people talking in fandom about whether or not he's attracted to men? And I'm guessing this has sometime to do with how he behaves around Vaughn, but mostly I think he just likes fucking with the guy. If anything, there's a scene where a man hits on him in prison, and he promptly states he's going to cut out his tongue and choke him with it if he tries anything. BUT I DON'T KNOW, I think that's more of a circumstantial thing than it is a homophobia thing (because seriously, he's not gonna jump on some guy's dick in prison kthx), but personally I do believe he's heterosexual if not heterosexual-leaning.

Jade is thirteen years old, and has grown up in isolation for most of her life. She's just now getting used to having so many friends and so many people to interact with, and I think she's pretty immature when it comes to relationships, even compared to the other kids her age in Homestuck. I just don't think she thinks about it much. When John brings up the shipping chart Karkat made, she sort of dismisses it pretty quickly. Right now she doesn't have a crush on anyone in the City, though it's certainly something that could happen. It would probably someone similar to the people she's friends with. She'd need someone to have fun with, who could joke around and be ridiculous but who could still be serious when things called for it. She couldn't handle someone incredibly abrasive or angry, and I think she values a certain amount of loyalty and honesty.

Shahrazad: Loves compassionate people who are willing to give people a fair chance. As much as everyone (read: the twenty Trinity Blood fans in existence on lj) likes to joke Shahrazad is gay, she probably is open to relationships both male and female. The Empire sort of has an open policy in regard to their bodies (and likely sexuality) due to low birth rates. While I think she's most attracted to girls who appear in her age group (teenage-young women), she'd really just love someone who could accept her and take care of others.

Elektra: Uh... this is tough since ideally she'd probably wish to be forever alone. I guess she's attracted to decent men? Like truly decent. Physically they'd probably be tall, dark hair, intelligent... and won't let her blow them off. That's an important one because she will. :(

Tara: Pretty, intelligent, and powerful girls. Preferably a magic user? Really it's just that first part.

Father figures.

No, seriously, that's pretty much it. Older men, authoritative figures, and most often men on the other side of the law from her. Or teacher-types.

Also, she was practically drooling the first time she met Superman. So sometimes she does like the handsome boys.

There IS some super super super subtle hints that she may have had ~something~ going on with her childhood friend Sylvia when they were kids. Considering she hated men until her late teens or so, I'd say early experimentation with girls would be logical. But she's pretty much het these days.

Didn't Loeb establish her as bisexual in Hush? I seem to remember that!

Sirius: Likes girls with big boobs and smart mouths. He needs playfulness and can really get into someone being bossy in the bedroom, but wouldn't classify himself as or be happy being forced into long-term submission.

Likes intelligent guys with smart mouths who are game for mischief, and are named Remus Lupin.

Tavros: Is 13 and has no idea what he likes, really. Kindness, playfulness and supportiveness, if we go by Jade, who's the one person he's canonically made advances towards, and his friendship with non!murdermode Gamzee. Personality seems to be far more important to him than physicality.
