yo serious-kinda-not-serious question but i 100% mean it




how do you tell someone that you reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally want them to uh
pet you and all that
(esp if that someone is ur roomate and stuff)

without actually asking cause it might get weird? i kinda got this itch behind my ears that i havent been able to get rid of on my own and i know im gonna get super extra needy about it when cordis hits in like. a week and im kinda hit or miss on being all ~suave~ with that sorta thing?? the big reason why it might get weird anyway is sometimes that spot above my tail gets that same feeling and THAT is the sketchy spot

(cordis sucks for this reason alone guys)

Is there a reason to assume it might "get weird"?
letxequalnull: (idefk)

[personal profile] letxequalnull 2020-09-30 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yet it was important enough to care to ask.

If you would prefer, we could continue this conversation in person?

Very well.

[There's a nod, which passes unseen and unheard, and then he does come over to where Demyx is.]

I do not believe I would have had an objection, had you asked.

[It would have been a little strange, sure. But like. He's got a pair of horns, now, and that's one of the least unusual things that's gone on in the city.]

I do not see why the rest would be any significant inconvenience.

[An itch is an itch, after all, regardless of where it should happen to be located.  And while the idea of petting his roommate is something that he wouldn't have so much as imagined would be something he'd need to consider, prior to having turned up where they have, it's not exactly like he'd have a problem with it either.]

alrite as someone who has furred ears all the time

step one go to your friend

step two take your friends hand

step three place that hand on your head near where the itch is

and be sure to thank them after

I find it is best to simply ask and get it over with.

You fear that you will be embarrassed if you ask.

You think that you will be rejected and that will make things awkward.

Or perhaps you think they will say yes and that will lead to more than simply being petted and that makes you nervous?

I figured as much. Fear of rejection is quite common.

just tell them to touch it. or, grab their hand and place it on the ears yourself.

it's not like you're asking them to touch your privates.
zunge: (some of them want to use you)

[personal profile] zunge 2020-09-30 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like you're overthinking it. Think of it this way. you have an itch that needs to be scratched, and it's best scratched by someone else. scratching it benefits both of you, so why not.

look buddy

back when i was Cordis i was some kind of cat butterfly abomination every month

i don't think anyone has a right to judge anyone else on what's weird

just ask

my friend is also cordis and he got like that, wanted to be touched more than usual
he didn't tell me before i came over once and it was weird only cuz it wasn't discussed
then once he explained it was fine and we ended up hanging out comfortably and had a really nice time. it wasn't weird at all in the end

but if he had just told me what was going on from the start we could have saved time and started touching sooner, so he'd get touched more like he wanted, and it wouldn't have been so awkward at first cuz i wouldn't have been surprised/confused/shy...

so just tell him. crazy shit happens to all of us. not the worst. same friend helped me with way worse moon shit after that.
so just be honest and upfront. closed mouths don't get fed.

Why must you find a way to ask without actually asking?
Have you taken some sort of vow to never ask a question aloud

You can just ask people to pet you, most people think it's cute.
People have pet my head even back home. Though it can be annoying sometimes.


[ It's very nice when it's not because they're teasing him about being a puppy. Except when certain people do it? Then he's okay with it. Like the director and Azuma can do it whenever they want... but if Banri did it he'd know it's because he's being teased!!

tl;dr if you are puppy in human form you can easily get pet ]
