❣ doc and ophelia, or just doc? up to u!!
❣ for 3 pros & 3 cons of dating my muse!
Tumblr media
🧪pros
chivalry is dead? not to this softie. it’s a casual chivalry that’s second nature to him: holding doors, leaving sticky note reminders for you— WILL THROW A TOWEL IN THE DRYER BEFORE YOU COME OUT OF THE SHOWER SO ITS NICE AND TOASTY.
will make it a point to remember important dates— he’s particular like that.
will inevitably get passionately enthralled into whatever you’re enthusiastic about through osmosis.
🧪cons
dad jokes and puns. <- this one is subjective but do realize he won’t be able to resist in even the most intimate moments.
speaking of not being able to resist— he WILL be making a wisecrack at your expense before rushing in to help you. anything for the bit.
his inner self-deprecation runs deep, and despite everything, you will have to be okay with it never being resolved. he will have days where he manages better, days where he can distract himself from it and plenty of days where he can hide it from you— but there will always be restless nights.

💜pros
CONGRATULATIONS: dating Ophelia means you won’t be victim to her tricks AS MUCH. The risk is still there, but she’s much more keen to ask you to join her w/ pranking someone else.
dating her will feel like dating a best friend! someone to goof around with, go exploring with, do silly coming-of-age + self-discovery shenanigans! sooo cheesy!
if you're really lucky, you can have the pleasure of hearing her sing. not even Doc has heard her sing. you can rub it in his face!
💜cons
she will know everything about you: your silly little quirks, what makes you laugh, your favorite food, your family, your secrets and desires— but one day, you will wake up in the morning and realize how little you know of her.
expanding from the above— if you aren't able to relate to her either by sharing similar history or by being not-so-human-yourself: there's a good chance she might not ever open up. (less to do with superiority and more to do with repression)
if dating her ever goes to the next step, you will HAVE to be okay about living with SO MANY KNICK-KNACKS and yes the collection will keep growing.
