on this edition of questions you all want to teal deer about...

how does your character react to physical contact? this can be anything from fist fights to sex to brofists. what are they most comfortable with? how to they react to unexpected touches? what sorts of physical contact are they most likely to dish out? do they only let some people touch them or are they more of the tactile, i didn't get hugged enough as a child sort?

give me your thoughts, gds.

Altlivia is totally fine with physical contact. She's fine with hugging a friend or tapping someone on the shoulder as she passes, but she doesn't actively seek it. If it happens she's happy with it, but she's not clingy or super touchy.

Olivia avoids physical contact like the plague. A handshake is about all she'll do, and that's only because it's formal and necessary. Otherwise she needs her personal bubble and won't touch people. Even something as simple as a tap on the shoulder to get her attention sets her on edge and makes her uncomfortable, and she would certainly never imagine doing such a thing to anyone else. Very close friends might be able to touch her, but that would only be in the case where she's upset or something and they place a hand on one of hers. If she's desperately upset or stressed out of her mind she would accept a hug from someone close to her, but that's fairly rare. Family is the exception to this rule and she's quite fine giving her sister a hug or snuggling with her niece.

I KNOW RIGHT she's so normal compared to Olivia it's incredible. Olivia is such a loner forever and Altlivia is all "I want all the friends."

I COULD TALK FOREVER ABOUT THE OLIVIA ALTLIVIA DIFFERENCES but I won't. But yeah, I... definitely moved too quickly with Olivia previously. I took a step back afterwards and went "...yeah... it took a little under a year for Olivia to accept a hug from Peter..." so I'm going to be taking things much slower this time around. But at this point she's probably close enough to Jim that she'd not be totally awkward space wise.

It was in it's... 2nd season? That should be right. Or something? Maybe it was only one, I don't remember. But yes, we've gotten a much better timescale now that we've jumped into season 4 which helps a lot.

And she is! Eventually. She's heading in that direction, but I didn't feel like dumping her in here and having her change memories within a couple months. So I'm delaying it some and playing with Altlivia for a bit of an extended time. There'll be lots of mind crap going on with her when the switch happens so it'll be obvious. And I'll replace all my Altlivia icons and such. Altlivia is fun to play as but Olivia is my favourite forever.

Thaaaaat sounds right. 'Cause this is season four, so last year was three, and I took my year long abstinence from rp after senior year which would have been season two. So yes, probably the very beginning of season two.

I do too! I am 500 times more insecure playing Altlivia than I am with Olivia. Plus Olivia is too precious. Especially season four Olivia akefjalkejf I'm bummed I won't be able to play her unless I join a new game.

Technically... not. Season four is, as far as they've repeatedly told us, taking place in a second set of parallel universes. What has appeared to have happened is basically they snapped Peter out of the original two universes and into a parallel set that has a timeline where things happened kind of differently... but it's complicated. We're not really sure what happened to the original verses yet... Yeah, it's complicated but probably can't bump her to season four because technically a different person. Probably.

Don't worry I only half know what's going on too.

Okay, seasons one and two are gross, seasons three and four are like "...what the hell is happening to my understanding." For seasons one and two though... I think this (http://biowafers.tumblr.com/post/9706715023/unfortunate) says enough.

Which part grossed you out in season one? Or maybe I should say that if you dislike seeing brain parts and worm parasite things wrapped around hearts then you're kind of out of luck.
