ways_back_room | DE: This is highly illogical

(Me, putting off homework? NEVER. >.>)

For Shawn, a sense of humor is a must, in both romantic and platonic partnerships.

Dean... is a teenage boy. As awkward and naive as he is, this is one instance where he's pretty typical.

Brisco is definitely attracted to self-confidence and... open-mindedness, I suppose you'd call it. He likes people who aren't afraid to stand up for themselves but not so stubborn that they aren't open to new ideas.

Fry: *points to Leela*

(ETA apropos of absolutely nothing: someone needs to tell me I'm not allowed to use Lee Pace as a PB for adult!Dean.)

Edited 2012-11-21 09:54 (UTC)

Lee Pace totally fits! You are allowed!

He's got that sort of gawky endearing awkwardness that works well.

I have no idea where I'd even USE it, but it's nice to know I could.

It takes a sense of humor to put up with Shawn, so it balances out really well. :)

This is very true. :D

Ahahah. Oh god. I'm using this icon far too often lately.

Let's see. Tommy likes blondes, brunettes, redheads. Tall chicks, short chicks. Chicks with big tits, chicks with tiny tits, but most importantly chicks with real tits.

And based on things that he's said in canon, he actually possesses a latent feminism which allows him to appreciate smart, strong, independent women. FUNNY, RIGHT? And sure, he'll have sex with an airhead, but don't ask him to carry the conversation because he has no patience for vapidity.

*dies*

Please, please stop me from throwing Penny at him. Ever.

Edited (I typo well) 2012-12-02 18:09 (UTC)

And of course, this means that means you should.

Of course. ;)

If she's over 18, Voodoo'll have sex with her.

For the few long-term relationships he's been in?

Hmm.

He likes intelligence, first and foremost. Fitness is a big, big, big plus. He loves brunettes. He's a complete and utter sucker for black hair/blue eyes - we seriously cannot stress this enough. Redheads are okay. Blondes...could go either way, depending on a whole range of factors. Knowing how to shoot a gun, self-reliance, and knowledge of basic self-defense are also big pluses.

John is happily married to an illiterate former prostitute with a hair-trigger temper. So...I guess that's his type?

Mako finds strength attractive, but I get the feeling he values discipline just as much as strength, if not more so.

Ah, screw it, I'm awake, I might as well stay up. (Quinn's going to visit her parents; if all went well her train just rolled out.)

Cata likes a capable mind and someone who isn't going to tell her she shouldn't be doing her job. So in a way I'm not surprised she and Medic ended up with a Thing. BUT AT THE SAME TIME I AM.

Sam canonically had a massive crush on Cata for a long time and then fell hard for another member of the world-saving party, so I'm going with 'women who can take care of themselves.' (Again, with that side of 'someone who won't tell him he shouldn't be doing his job.')

Claudia, again per canon, is turned on by geek speak. XD The show's only set her up with guys so far, but my headcanon is that she's bi or possibly pansexual; the important thing, as she sees it, is that she can have a conversation with the other person without one of them running away screaming.

Apollo is solidly bi and cheerfully so! Young and physically attractive gets your foot in the door, and if you have a particular talent in one of his zillion domains that'll help. (One of the things I was hoping to convey in Conversations With Dead People: Geoffrey Chaucer happened because his mother was hilarious.)
And then there's Orpheus. Orpheus is a special case across the board, but I doubt Apollo could pull of monogamy even for him (or if he happened to fall hard enough for someone to get married).

Imp hasn't thought about it too hard, so far. I mean, there was that thing with Susan, but my headcanon is that got uncomfortable because he could tell there was something she wasn't telling him and she never explained. He's kinda going '...someone who appreciates my music I guess???' at me.

Regulus has been told all his life to look for the Proper Pureblood Lady; he'd find this a much easier task if his options weren't Narcissa or a bunch of vacuous twits who are only interested in his status. He wants someone he can talk to about the important shit in a way he has yet to find outside of family members. (He does love Narcissa dearly, but... she's as good as his sister. Ew.)

Red also hasn't thought about it that hard. But one of the criteria is fast becoming someone who understands the werewolf thing and won't tell her to choose a side.
(Ruby: JUST ABOUT ANYTHING. XD)

A dark-haired, green-eyed young man with ink-stained hands? He's very much into his boy, so Scorpius would immediately think about him if you asked who/what he finds beautiful or attractive. And then he'd think about things. And then he'd have a face.

But, generally speaking: Intelligence is beautiful, creativity is attractive, kind and good is appealing, an athletic body is hot, and someone who can/will take charge is ...uh, very attractive. Any of those could lead to Scorpius taking a fancy, but the traits are definitely not all or nothing.

I assume we are talking about what they find attractive in a person. Because some of my pups have distinct opinions about beauty in other things. Might make a good DE, yes?

Kirk: Let's get this out of the way. He DOES not sleep with every alien babe that comes along. I don't think he ever slept with a woman who was not essentially human, and the number of affairs he was involved in wasn't nearly as big as everyone assumes. So he does have some standards.

He likes blondes, though I think this is as much Hollywood casting decisions as anything else. But he also likes brains, guts and compassion. The women he was involved with include at least three scientists, a high ranking Starfleet lawyer, Edith Keeler the "Angel of the Slums," and an exquisitely programmed android that was every bit his equal (and no, Jim didn't know she was an android till it was too late). He admires beauty, of course. But what tends to get him interested is the whole package. And a woman who stands up to his ego is probably the most welcome.

Knox also likes blondes. He's a bit more shallow about such things. Overall, till he found Rapunzel, his standards were "whoever would give him the time of day" but blondes tend to win the fight.

Howard can and does have his choice of women of all types. I haven't really figured out what he prefers as a young man. I think, however, that when he finally meets Maria Stark during the 50s, she will be unconventionally beautiful, even a bit exotic, very smart, and very independent.

Gibbs has no standards. I think any woman between 16 and 45 is fair game. Or would be if any of them let him come near. A woman like, say, Elizabeth Swann would be too pretty for him to even consider having a ghost of a chance with.

Cy's tastes are still forming.

And Charlie...I have no idea. I know that he's had two great passions in his life. But he also finds Sallie Reynolds attractive and cannot give an objective explanation as to what that means on a physical level. I think he's got some unresolved issues about something.

That is a good DE idea. I'm thinking something like "What does you pup find aesthetically pleasing? Art, food, fashion, alien lifeforms, whatever."

Does that seem like what you are thinking?

Pretty much, yeah. Thanks.

Mel will pretty much go to bed with you if a) you make her laugh b) she thinks you can keep up with her and c) you make the first move (because she has other things to think about).

Dinah likes older men who are kind of jerks. But on top of that, she likes a nice tight ass and strong arms.

Renee is a giant horndog who is trying to be sensible right now. Her biggest weakness is a woman who doesn't take any crap. And Batladies. She likes Batladies.

Will likes governor's daughters turned pirates who are called Elizabeth.

Marguerite is attracted to passionate men, who are also the secret leaders of bands of men that rescue foreigners from political execution.

Seriously, Will and Marguerite have each only had one lover their entire lives, and neither can see that changing.

Mac is a teenage boy, so there's that. But he really likes attitude: someone who won't instantly but into his act. He also likes girls who dress as boys, but he doesn't currently know this.

Lawton likes sex, but he likes it sans complications, thank you very much. He usually prefers to pay for it because lack of complications. Except of course, now he has a girlfriend, and he's not sure how that happened.

Death doesn't have the glands for it.

Teresa not only doesn't really have the glands - well she probably does, but her body doesn't respond to hormones - but she definitely doesn't have the emotional capacity to resolve "attraction" out of her feelings. If Teresa likes you, then that's progress!

Edited 2012-11-21 14:13 (UTC)

Felix likes small women. Not simply short, but also slender and so on. Which is not to say he goes for midgets or anything, but he prefers the low end of the "normal human" range. He also wants intelligence and wit and something I can't really define better than "specificness of personality", which isn't really a very good description of the trait even insofar as it manages to describe it.

Kain has a fairly specific pedestal.

And my others would rather not answer at the moment.

Stuart likes intelligent blond(e)s with a bit of sass.

Merlin likes dark hair and eyes, and seems to have a rescuing kink. (Or, depending on your slash goggles, he likes blue-eyed blonds that he also has to save a lot.)

Steve likes strong, passionate personalities. While he appreciates physical beauty he doesn't really have a type, and he sees beauty where others might not. He particularly likes immortal musicians with a trainload of emotional baggage and astounding talent.

Bilbo likes afternoon tea :).

Well, immortal musicians with a trainload of emotional baggage and astounding talent are incredibly likable. XD

They truly are. And so snuggable, too.

As Nash and Draco have established, Mia has a thing for pointy, skinny, narcissist wizards who make bad decisions. As for what she actually finds beautiful about them, it's probably their eyes and sharp smiles. And it has nothing at all to do with abusing magic in the bedroom.

Lucas has found through Milliways that people at home aren't as understanding as they could be, so having a healthy ability to deal with emotions is high up there. Besides that, and what I hope doesn't develop into an Oedipus complex, he'd probably like a girl with red hair.

The two big things the women Lohengrin will love in his lifetime have in common are blue eyes and verbal taboos. Also, neither end happily, the first leaving him a widower and the second doomed to be unrequited. The Knight, unsurprisingly, continues to be put in tragedies.

Ben is pretty open as far as attraction goes, but he does tend towards redheads. He's dated an actress, an amazon from the future, a wrestler with power/body issues, a human-like alien on Battle World, a school teacher and, for the longest, a sculpture. He doesn't seem too comfortable with women who are aggressively forward or maybe he was still with Alicia when Thundra tried to make the moves. He seems to like tall women who are strong willed and who make the world a better place. Ben is one for the ladies no matter what Dakken does.

Hank doesn't seem to have a type, but there is this girl who wears a beautiful blond face that may change this. I think he appreciates a woman who is bold and can accept his mutation.

Palamedes likes...well I have no idea. No physical description of Isuelt is given, and no other reference to romantic encounters is given. I think he values strong, intelligent woman, and of all my pups I can see him being bisexual. I have no idea what he would look for in a man, but his relationship with Shakespeare might give clues. I'll have to think on this more.

Val in canon was only 13, but in bar she has been attracted to Weyland and Sameth. I think this says she likes well toned men who make things. Don't know much else to be honest.

Jessica seems to like archers. I honestly can't think of any other relationships she's had before Clint.

Thalia's likes are kind of irrelevant now, but she's like Billy Joe from Green Day, William from Bar and Apollo, but then who doesn't think Apollo is hit?

Andrea likes tall sleek guys who can handle themselves in a fight and who will respect her career decisions and not make assumptions about her allegiances.

Edited 2012-11-21 15:11 (UTC)

Dani.

More broadly, he likes Action Women and has no interest in what he terms "damsels". He is also into girls who are different or exotic in some way—the first Enzo has a Game sprite fish-girl, and the second has a half-ghost User. Superpowers are a turn-on as well (and both those lovely ladies have them to a greater or lesser degree).

Physically, his tastes are basically imprinted on Dani. She has your standard superheroine physique, plus, as a sprite, he finds the fluffiness of her hair fascinating.

Danny has a very specific type. He is rendered goofy, shiny, and tongue-tied by a certain type of slim, petite, brown-eyed, sophisticated, sharply intelligent brunette. His ex-wife and canon love interest fit this type to a T, and I can only imagine he'd have a similar reaction to anyone matching that description in the bar.

~~We just won't talk about how handsy he gets with his lunatic six-foot mountain of tattooed SEAL partner. I can't make this shit up, people. Even the actors ship McDanno.~~

In the simplest of terms, Emma likes a bad boy. Beyond that, she needs the challenge inherent in someone who breaks rules and who has a strong streak of independence to go along with her own. In the most basic sense, she goes into any sort of romantic entanglement with the expectation that it is going to end in flames and destruction, so she keeps herself fairly aloof, describing herself as "never having been in love." Except maybe once. Physically, she seems to prefer somewhat rangy, scruffy brown-haired men, and blue eyes. More important is a sense of adventure and a somewhat purposeful ignorance of rules.

Caspian's admiration is won by independence, forthrightness, a generous nature, strength of character, a strong moral compass, the ability to find joy in the beauty of life and the world despite harshness and war, and a warm personality. Perhaps not the ability so much as the desire to put others before oneself -- hugely important, despite the fact he is no longer ruling a country and is not looking for a Queen (still, he is part of court life in Ambergeldar, so she also needs to be able to blend into a court and deal smartly with life there). He is drawn to someone to whom he can give his highest respect and deepest friendship, to intelligent conversation with the potential of turning whimsical or solemn as the case might be. He loves his homeland -- being Narnian is part of his identity -- and he would be bemused by anyone who did not feel similarly about their own world. He is certainly not immune to striking physical beauty -- at seventeen, he was enamored at first sight with Ramandu's Daughter: tall, willowy, silvery-blonde hair, ethereally lovely. However, appreciation of beauty at first sight, while something he would certainly admit to, is not really on his radar.

...While I sit here and resist the urge to pat him on the head because he just described a very particular someone.

Jack will flirt with anyone. He's got a weakness for spunky, independently-minded women who know what they want and who approach him, rather than the other way around. His truest, deepest love is Ennis, but that's got way less to do with physical attributes than the time they spent together and the chemistry that burned his whole world down.

I've been asked this before, and I have to say, I think (and Jake Gyllenhaal thinks) Jack's sexuality is fluid. He clearly likes the ladies, and has a deep appreciation for their beauty and charm. He doesn't understand them, but he loves flirting with them, making them laugh and smile, and dancing with them. Men are...more difficult. He appreciates camaraderie and companionship, but the only man for him, really, is Ennis. (He also was very taken with Cowboy!Kate over Cubefall.)

Wolfwood likes women. Pretty women. His standards are all over the place, but he is drawn to a certain innocence and inherent goodness that he himself very much does not possess.

Edited 2012-11-21 16:00 (UTC)

Oh dear, Emma...

That certainly explains things...

Will likes strong women who will fight for their home and can make him laugh as well as understanding that Nottingham comes first for him. In terms of looks, he doesn't seem to have a type as he's dated a blonde and two brunettes.

Charles, oh Charles loves someone who's honest, embraced life in all of its complications, likes his mutation and is curious about life. In my reading he's bi since for him its the mind that comes first and then the body. Going by the people he's liked in canon and RP, he doesn't really have a type.

Sameth likes a woman who is sure of herself, has her own identity and cares for him. He just wants Kait, I mean he's liked other girls but he fell hard for her.

Jane would like Tom Lefroy, who is witty, brave, charming, handsome and loves all of her.

Moist wants someone who challenges him, doesn't ask too many questions. Otherwise he doesn't seem to have any particulars for physical traits and he's another of mine who's bi. He just wants to have fun.

Demeter is attracted to someone who loves their home, enjoys life and cares for people. The details don't matter as much to her as she's had many lovers in her life and what counts is their love for life.

William wants someone who understands that caring for your family has to come first, who will fight for what they love and lives life rather physically. At this point he's only dated Thalia but he's had small crushes on other girls and he doesn't have any things that he prefers with physical traits.

I'm not going to answer for Tumnus as the idea of him in more than a friendship with anyone doesn't work in my head.

For The Pirate King, can you keep up and are you a good kisser? That's about it.

Its hard to tell. I have the almost the same problem the ponymuns have re: romance and sex. Runescape is a kids game. Or was. I dunno, it kind of wants to grow up, but it kind of doesn't. Canon does have a couple romances but so far they have all been hetero, even though the game has been egalitarian gender-wise in regards to women being super competent adventurers, spies, smiths, scientists, wizards, warriors, villains, and heroes. Relationship-wise, not so much. The most adventurous romance, despite the genderbending shenanigans possible in game, is a cross species romance between a dwarf male and a Fremennik (think Norse) woman.

Well.. no, some shenanigans had to occur to create the hobgoblins (ork/goblin shenanigans) and dwogres (dwarf/ogre shenanigOMGHOWDOESTHATEVENWORK)

Amascut, though, hasn't been involved in any real relationships as far as canon has revealed. She does love innuendo and being a tease, though. Millicanonically there was a one night thing with Urquhart. I dunno, I can't quite tell with her. She may have a preference for folks that can take care of themselves. I can't imagine her getting along with a perpetual damsel/dandy in distress.

Maybe the same way Neanderthal-Cro-Magnon hybrids are speculated to have happened? Freakishly ugly members of the one group looking significantly less ugly to the other and taking them up on that because nobody else was willing to get jiggy with them? And in the case of at least the dwogres, the weirdly tall dwarf and a weirdly short ogress?

.... I'm reaching here.

The joke with Ava for awhile was that she liked guys who were cute, normal, and oblivious.

Except I'm not sure it's a joke ...

Aphrodite is always judging you based on your appearance! ISN'T THAT NICE. She likes 'pretty,' in the sculpt-you-out-of-marble way, although she does allow for some variation when it comes to facial features. She's also secretly very picky: Everybody is 'sweetie,' but only a few are 'pretty girl' or 'cutie.' (Right now: Elle and Harry ...?) And she's only had a thing with one person in the bar so far.

Puck goes for two general types: people who are conventionally/traditionally pretty attractive, or people who are ... maybe a little weirder. Hookups in the bar that may speak to this latter point: a guy with a ton of facial scars and also I think an alien parasite, human!R2D2 (I'm sorry), Helium (I'm not sorry) and a girl made of raspberry goo.

Wendy Watson is looking for the total package. She likes 'cute' in guys, so more on the playful/charming end of the hot spectrum, but she's really really into banter and intellect and creativity. She's had enough relationships go sour at this point that while she may flirt a bit, she doesn't really go :DDDDD unless somebody talks a good nerdy talk, plays video games, seems bright and is some form of artist.

Gosh.

I wonder where she'll find that guy.*

*In canon, where she has in current Milliways timeline JUST MET what her best friend termed her "extracurricular soulmate.

bright_daughter | Star (Tarot)
Has no concept of beauty really at all, because she really is already in love with the heart of every being gone, presently alive, and those forthcoming. With the rise and fall of their darkness and light.

That said there is the sad smile of a certain girl that warms even her.

queenofmay | Maid Marian (BBC Robin Hood)
Marian would be hard pressed to like beauty itself. She is a court raised noble woman, trained recognize and respond to it, but she knows all too well what ruthlessness can hide behind the most beautiful and handsome faces.

That said there are several traits Marian is forever drawn to beyond this. Righteousness, a willingness to back up words with actions, the ability to wage a fight not because you'll win but because it is the right thing to do. She has belonged hook and sinker to one man her whole life, thus far, who manages to keep her on her toes, rouse her temper as much deflate it, and amuse her even through his, at times, extraordinary arrogance and petulance.

Idealism is a high importance to Marian, as is the realism to back it up, like a hard foundation. The ability to martial courage in the face of anything, to find laughter and light even in the darkest of places, to share knowledge openly, able to maneuver intrigue, who won't hold her back for her gender, and acknowledge that people of all social stratta's want the and deserve the same things.

heartofthedream | Jean Grey | Phoenix (X-Men)
Wow. But Jean's could match Marian's, which isn't surprising, given they have a lot of traits, choices and temptations in common. So I'd we start with all of Marian's, Jean diverges in certain places. She is surrounded with beautiful people, who have awe inspiring talents, everywhere. It's normal and not something she pays much mind to.

She needs people who aren't afraid of her, which is a high bill to ask with The Phoenix and its past repercussions. She values a sharper grade of honesty than Marian though since she is so privy to people's thoughts, and even more craves a freedom to be allowed to be herself and not need the shield herself behind walls with/in platonic and romantic relationships, kept outside simply because of her gifts.

themidnightson | Edward Cullen (Twilight)
He wasn't interested for a good eighty years. Which is complicated and awkward, given he's supposed to be the most beautiful ever and was sought after. But Edward had no use for people or vampires in that way. ~~Especially once Carlisle and Esme were joined.~~ He was lost in a world of knowledge, music and duty for the better part of a century. Vastly disinterested in people who loved him for his beauty, and vastly repugnant toward the great beauties of his own world (like Rosalie and Tanya) because of what their minds betrayed about their true nature under that visage.

Edward is complicated. He prizes highest honesty, a clarity of personal character that is nearly impossible to find in people, a willingness toward selflessness, a steel unbreakable core, a depth of longing for unending literature, education, music, travel.

tobeclosetohim | Jo Harvelle (Supernatural)
I kind of want to laugh. I've been talking about this one for years. Jo flirts like breathing, a trait I think bartending has slipped into her skin and will never come out, but there's a line you can't cross in her if you aren't a hunter. Flirting, drinking, that's fine, but being a hunter is the line that actually brings in interest on any physical or emotion level.

I don't think she cares what your gender is if you're willing to be doing The Job, or any equivalent of it. Sure, she has an appreciation of beauty, specially roughed up bad boys with family issues and guilt complexes, but its more about who they are. The willingness to march into the dark, knowing you're a candle in a windstorm, you will only last so long, but doing it anyway. Because there is no other thing you could, no other person you could be.

It really doesn't hurt if you can swear like a sailor, drink like a fish, be able to duck a right hook fast, have a flash bright sharp sense of humor, and the ability to withstand and toss back scalding tempers with a breeze.

real_or_notreal | Peeta Mellark (Hunger Games)
Oh, Peeta's been gone for most of his life. He fell in love with a girl whose singing could silence the birds as a child. Which hasn't apparently kept him from being popular and very well received among the girls, even if none of them was Katniss Everdean.

Peeta looks at beauty in a very artist way, but he's drawn to very simple things. Honesty, bravery, strength, compassion, kindness, the ability to survive without the deprivation of self, stubbornness, unapologetic authenticity, biting wit, the ability to find beauty in the smallest things even when all beauty and fairness seems lost entirely.

the_fairest | Snow White | Mary Margaret Blanchard (Once Upon a Time)

Once upon a time beauty mattered very much to Snow, and her stepmother was likely the pinnacle of it, and then she learned how much darkness could hide behind it and by the time we see the first boy who makes her heart go pitter-patter Snow has no use for names, shining handsome princely faces or courtly deeds, because everything about them has been flayed bare for her.

The things that win Snow to Charming, and other people all throughout her relationships, are completely different. Strength, trust, courage, willingness to ask for help, an endless supply of love, faith, and hope, shots of humor, the ability to evenly share power and responsibility, tenacious unwillingness to give up, to fold under no matter the odds, the ability to back up promises with actions.

Mary Margaret is so quietly different but she has a steel core. She's drawn to her unbeknownst-husband-then-paitent/friend because of his humor, his reckless passion, ready smile, dogged determination the claw his way back to the life he had, the amazing faith and belief behind all his words.....but all of those things are poisoned and with them incomplete, broken, and even twisted into a position that is unfaithful and dishonest, she even chooses never to stay with him.

Bonus:

thebesteverseen | Steve McGarrett (Hawaii Five-0)

Steve is the Guy's Guy. Tall, every inch built, with a killer smile, a job/mentality soaked in patriotic dedication, and a shameless, arrogant awareness that the other sex will notice each of those. It is incredibly easy to gain Steve's attentions and amusement for a few minutes, a conversation, a laugh, a date or a night occasionally, but it is nye on impossible to keep them for any length of time. Because Steve's never stated in one place long enough to have an apartment he kept up regularly and well, no less another person, for the better part of a decade and half.

Steve is highly aware of physical beauty in the opposite sex, but he doesn't judge or decide much by it. Like Jo and Marian, and so many above, Steve's real attention will only be gained by actions. He has a great esteem and respect for people who do the same jobs as him, military and law enforcement, who would fight back hard and long, even sacrifice for the betterment of individual people as well as this country/world.

I have no problem saying I see exactly what the actors as well as the fandom see in McDanno, because there are traits of Danny's that keep Steve hooked no matter which way you want to see that relationship, platonic or romantic.

That he's viciously loyal and protective of those he cares about above and beyond all that he gives for his job. That his opinions are free, stalwart and ready defensible. That he doesn't let Steve walk all over him, for his skills or intimidation, and will fight back and make him think. That he's so dedicated to his daughter/family he'd undertake anything not to fail her/them. That he's unabashedly emotional, everywhere on everything, filling up all the quiet spaces with words and movements. The sudden goofy jokes and crazy ranting.

And the touching. Have you people seen this show? Danny never stops touching him, bodily wrangling him from taking people down and making them a smear on the ground. Using a few fingers to his chest to keep him from losing what little sanity he has in a righteous less than sane rage. Never once considering him a threat even when he's obviously dangerous to everything else around them.

I knew I had the lyrics misquoted but it was late. = ]

kdjslkdjfdlsf this is so wonderful

is there a whole song??

I don't think so. All I am finding is a Tumblr thing.

This is one of those questions I don't really have a good answer for. I don't think about these kinds of things and as a consequence don't factor it into "what does this character like in a partner".

I'll try though.

Rabastan will likely start finding this out. The Slenderman helped facilitate some new changes that others seem to like. Rad doesn't understand the concept of attraction in a biological sense [like I said yesterday, beauty is utilitarian for Cybertronians], at least from a personal POV. Megabyte is in love with power, not people [and I don't want to think of him in a sexual manner because that would create disturbing imagery best not imagined]. Matrix is married to what he thinks makes a good partner. Xamot and Tomax are probably interested in women who are "willing, pretty and in a position of influence". Strength might be into those who physically look older, because I imagine Justice as looking like a man well over 40 with white hair [a little like Richard Wright of Pink Floyd before he died]. Wheel is asexual and not "turned on" by anything.

Raph apparently has a thing for blondes. I'm not quite sure how that happened, but two of his three long term relationships have involved blondes (Penny Lane and now Abigail.) Then there was the flirtings with Angua and Fleur. So...yeah, apparently blondes.

Hair color aside, Raph is very attracted to confidence, no-nonsense attitudes, and more than a little bit of moxie. Also...being willing to put up with his brand of macho crap helps too.

Mike just needs you to keep up with him. Or even just be willing to try.

Splinter...at this point it's just Sallie, so take that as you will.

Aang Katara.

Bumi Any port in the storm.

Ida canonically has AARP on speed dial.

The Loompas

Do you really want me to answer this?

The Loompas
...

Do you really want me to answer this?

...

yes?

Elle likes dark hair. I play her as pansexual, but that's a pretty consistent thing. She likes dark brown/black hair.

Otherwise, like I said yesterday, Elle is pretty open when it comes to beauty. It's not that physical beauty isn't important to her - it's just that she's rather open-minded about what she considers physically beautiful. Though, at the same time, while she's pretty casual about entering sexual relationships, there are really only two people I can imagine her entering a romantic relationship with. And that's not about beauty or attraction, but... well, I'm not sure how else to define it, other than one person inspires considerable attachment, and the other riles her up really easily without meaning to, and that's more clear emotional reaction than she has from nearly anyone. It's not that she particularly likes these people better than others (well, it is the case for one, but it's not the point), but they just happen to have this affect on her.

Asami, on a semi-subconscious level, is attracted to power. It's headcanon for me that because of two guys she's dated before, she's thought of as being attracted to rich guys, but it's more that she mostly knows rich guys. But she does like people with power. In guys, she also likes tall ones, but that's in part because she's kind of tall.

(I'm leaning toward indulging myself and deciding she's bi. But there you go.)

Manny... likes skeleton ladies? He can appreciate beauty that still involves flesh, but he's sort of moved on.

Leslie likes Joe Biden! And um, other people to. I'm trying to think of a constant across her boyfriends/guys she's liked (she is straight, even if she's also in love with Ann Perkins), but I can't actually think of any. Ben's more a love of her life type and with him she likes his nerdiness and intellect (along with his cute face and butt), but she also liked her previous boyfriend, Dave Sanderson, who didn't really share those same qualities, at least geekiness-wise. At least during canon, since her crush on Mark Brendanawicz, she's really started to take note of when guys clearly respect her.

Marceline, um. I think when it comes to actual romantic interest or whatever, she tends to like people with a lot of self-confidence. And sometimes those people can be awesome (like Princess Bubblegum! I mean what), but sometimes they can be really awful. And she's not always so great at handling herself around those people. But otherwise... well, Ooo has all kinds. As Ice King says, "whatever it is you're into."

Huh, I can see Leslie as a member of the Joe Biden Fan Club.

... I am disappointed that

biden_daily didn't make it over to dreamwidth. :(

Alfred and Erik are both bachelors.

Bean is far too young (and busy fighting for survival) to think about such things. When he grows up a bit, he'll learn some things about himself that will make him determined to follow in Alfred and Erik's footsteps.

Max has Doris.

Jack met a girl when he was at university, blond hair, blue eyes. Unfortunately, she went off to join the Irish military, while he returned to Australia. He'll probably never see her again. Right now, his focus is on his service, and on looking after Horus properly.

Tavi: Kitai.

Lois: First off Lois is very good at aesthetic appreciation. As a rule she likes tall, athletic guys, though her season 7 boyfriend is a little more the skinny, business-almost-nerd type and she generally likes a guy in a suit. Apparently redheads are not her thing. Attraction takes a lot more. She seems generally drawn to guys a couple older than she is: contemporary, but established, independent, and frankly with a certain amount of power. The weird thing is, she has no interest in it herself, but it's somehow a turn-on she isn't even conscious of. Notably, she dates two rich guys but only falls in love with one of them: the one with the big heart (and superhero status) to go with the cash and position. Not boring her is hugely important, and being able to stand up to her--intelligence, wit, willpower. Integrity is also a must. She doesn't like being sheltered, but feeling secure is a plus. Possibly most importantly: her own nature and being Daddy's Little Girl when her dad was a general gave her an unhealthy fetish for a guy with a hero-complex.

Her guilty 'not-typically-attractive' pleasure is geek-in-glasses.

In summary: tall, athletic, strong features, passionate, powerful but not self-aggrandizing, with integrity, generous, emotionally mature, confident, intelligent, can stand up to and keep up with her, makes her feel not alone/left behind, she'll feel safe without feeling caged, looks good in a suit-and-tie, funny, hero complex (bonus for actual superhero and/or glasses).

~~Also roleplay/costume fetish. And a thing about flight, but she doesn't know that.~~

Epimetheus likes people who are nice to animals and generally good-hearted and anti-authoritarian, but he isn't generally interested in anything more than flirting with mortals. My headcanon is that he's actually pansexual -- Greek deity type here, after all -- but he skews towards women.

I can neither confirm nor deny how he feels about people with four legs, fur, and tails, because I don't want to think about it.

Carmela is most definitely pansexual, because I'm certain she has hooked up with at least one tentacled alien. In human(oid)s, she likes a nice body, a good ass, pretty eyes and a willingness to try anything. In aliens, she looks for open-mindedness, because interspecies dating is looked at askance in a lot of cultures. She also prefers a minimum of slime when at all possible.

Nita apparently has a thing for guys from the British Isles, judging by her Milliways track record. Accents are sexy, what can we say?

No, but overall, I don't think she really has a type? She's attracted to intelligence and bravery and a commitment to a higher good. Also a good smile. I suspect she likes dark hair better than light hair.

Tom likes ladies who could kick his ass.

Moth likes fire.

DON'T GO INTO THE LIGHT, MOTH.

Alex: Intelligence. Confidence. Sensitivity. Red braces (kidding!).

Olga: ~shrugs, looks away, smokes~

Fiona: Attitude. And money. Money doesn't hurt. But mostly attitude.

River: Someone that can keep up.

Mills: ~shrugs~ I like a good sense of humor. And a woman who is comfortable drinking beer out of a bottle.

Sherlock: Interesting people.

John Silver: Depends on how much coin they're carrying.

Vlad: Irreverence.

Let me be frank: if it has a dick, Clem will ride it.

Dixie loves strong, commanding presences. Sincerity wears her right down and that's honestly why she sticks with Brisco.

Juliet loves a sense of humor, honestly. Shawn wore her down by inches until she finally said 'OKAY LET'S DO IT.' and kissed him.

Pinkie: is foodsexual.

I'm horribly late, but I feel compelled to answer this as it's something I think about a lot.

Michael is a tough one to pin down. He's attracted to strength of character, someone who knows who they are and what they want. Someone who will stand up for what they believe in, or at least come along for the ride. But, he's also drawn to people that are broken... people that have had it rough and need things he can't give them creating a delightful cycle of him wanting to fix things that can't be fixed. I play him as pansexual, but not advertising in either direction. If sex happens, it happens. If romantic attraction happens... well... it gets very complicated because that requires feelings and things he doesn't know how to deal with.

Gus likes women. Hah. Preferably not unstable, homicidal or about to be killed horribly. And yet... he always ends up with the wild ones. Or psychopaths. Or women that are frighteningly similar to Shawn...

Henry likes a warm woman with a touch of class that doesn't mind getting her hands dirty. *bubble hearts* Erm. He's very taken.

Archie I have a tough time pinning down. In my headcanon he hasn't had much, if any, romantic entanglement. It just simply doesn't interest him. But, I don't necessarily see him as asexual so much as innocent. I'm not sure yet what he's attracted to beyond honesty and integrity.

Penny likes cute guys with muscles and sweet eyes that she thinks will be fun. At this point, at least. It changes over time into something a little more practical.

DE: This is highly illogical
