4 and 8 for my baby Reuben 🥺🤲 (i just think 8 would be funny lol) and 10 and 14 for Emile my beloved
4. Scared.
Reuben doesn't get scared. Reuben gets angy!
No, in truth. Goodness. Reuben is a jigsaw of various bits of anger and frustration and self-hatred patched worked together by caution, paranoia, and more frustration.
Thus, it doesn't seem as if he has room for anything else. In public he definitely gives into that vibe. He's so cautious and distrustful, he'll either lash out (depending on who it is) or clam up. And clam up not in the sense that he shuts down but, it's like his mind starts ticking in overdrive, his eyes start darting around but he, himself, is rigid.
When he's by himself he probably rage cries. Privacy gives way to vulnerability. So emotions - like fear or being scared - that he might / just naturally turn corrosive or be locked away can sorta sink out. (It's ... not as healthy as it sounds, though.)
8. Feeling Pretty.
Stop! You know he dresses like some bland ass skater boi. ~nondescript preppy~ (what does that even MEAN, malin??)
I think he might get himself a good haircut. A good shave or trim. He doesn't indulge in a lot but his hair is strangely always nice. So. he might actually let himself get clean shaven. Show that pretty face off. In a RARE moment where he apparently got smacked upside the head too hard and wants to be all ~hey~ (or he finds himself feeling foolish about wei chen, idk) He might also let himself get a colored polo. LMAO. A knock off crocodile that's like a dark pink ... instead of black. (OMGOODNESS NOW IM SITTING HERE PONDERING AN AU WHERE THIS BITCH LETS HIMSELF COURT WEI. AND IM CRYING AWSEDR WHY.)
10. Betrayed.
You betray Emile? You HURT Emile? You disregard Emile's feelings like they are garbage? JAIL! JAIL FOR YOU FOR ONE BILLION YEARS!!
Okay, Emile isn't THAT dramatic. That'd be Kendis. But it really depends on who and how. I think Emile is very cut you out of their lives sort. And with a sort of relish, a sort of 'this is what you did and you will be ripped out my life and i will patchwork myself back together, see if i won't'. It's very clear eyed but not necessarily cold, but self-protective. I think about their approach to Kol. There was a desire to make him hurt, and there was a consideration of sabotaging the recovery process, but they didn't so they just sort of didn't want hands on involvement. When they found out they had magic, they were very hands off with their parents -- but it was like, I'm going to tell you why and that you hurt me, but goodbye.
There is a desire to make you emotionally suffer mixed with showing that they can move on from you (which is its own suffering). Again, depending on what and who it is, forgiveness is difficult if near impossible. I don't know that they will forgive Kol, but then they weren't very close. However, I do think with time they can forgive their parents.
14. Calm.
Emile is always calm. JK. I mean -- of the four it's 1. Nicola 2. Emile 3. Irvin 4. Kendis. (and I'm pretty sure santiy-wise Emile would beat Cola.)
Emile is -- I don't want to say unbothered. But Emile is precise. And that requires not just a clarity of vision but a coolness of head. There is a certain aplomb for their age but also they want to seem on top of things. There is too much going on in their lives to be anything but (at least, that is their approach.) Let's just say -- no matter what they think, their mom (adopted mom) definitely is an influence, no matter how indirectly.
Like, yes they can be bitchy and mean. But in general Emile tends to be calm, I feel. They are mindful to relax when they need to and keep themselves on the level.
Thank you for the asks @pixelburied
