Daily Entertainment! Dirty Minds Edition!

[damncompass]

Good morning, Milliways!

Today, I have a fairly simple question:

Does your character have a dirty mind? Do they think about sex a lot or very little? Do they make jokes about such things, or blush when it's brought up?

Comments

...

I don't know where to begin.

[electro_kinetic]

The Emcee's sexuality is much like the universe. Infinite, and ever expanding.

[sunbaked_baker]

Sunshine had a bit of a dirty mind when she was a teen, but that was because she was a teen, and she was a rebellious one in the last couple of years of the Wars. She still occasionally has to rein in her thoughts, when she gets distracted. >_>

She canonically hasn't blushed about sex since she was sixteen.

Yrael does not have a terribly dirty mind, but then, he does not view sex as something dirty. He may occasionally make jokes about it, but sees no reason to blush.

Zelgadiss is a somewhat repressed late teen. He doesn't make jokes about sex, and blushes surprisingly easily for someone with stone skin. There is someone he really fancies, but he will never let himself act upon his feelings and make it an official relationship until he finds a cure for his body.

[onceaviking]

...ehm

Moving on.
Elrond is a dignified creature, but he's also been a soldier. He may not make the dirty jokes but he doesn't blush either.
Then again, few people make dirty jokes in front of The Lord of Rivendell.

Personal head canon: elves have a specific subset of very beautiful songs all about the majestic pines and the soft, dewy moss covering the forest floor. They're especially sung in spring and summer. Late in the evening.

[electro_kinetic]

See, now I really, really want someone to crack dirty jokes to the resident elf lord. It would make me giggle. A lot.

[a1enzo]

Enzo is almost 17, so yes? It's mostly internal, though; he will joke about sex, depending whom with, but it is super easy to make him blush. He's getting better, though. Also, he in no way considers sex a bad or shameful thing; it's just private.

[tire_moi_mes_bottes]

Bossuet is one of the go-to characters for Victor Hugo's periodic "unlike Marius and Enjolras, these students who are certainly not at all ever autobiographical are sexually active the author just wants you to know that he was having a lot of sex back then, okay?" reminders.

It's really not on Gredya's mind much, most of the time.

[masterofgunfu]

Andrea has many dirty thoughts despite her sunny and professional persona. Jessica does as well.

Hank blushes at remembering Raven's kiss. I doubt he is comfortable thinking dirty thoughts in public, especially with Charles around now. ; p

Ethan has a pretty dirty mind, I am certain.

Brimstone does not. He has too much else to worry about.

Quin is just giving me a self satisfied smile, so I think that is a yes.

Lady Trent is horrified that I even entertained the idea of asking her such a rude question.

Mulan is secretive enough I am having a hard time reading her. I think if she is emotionally attached to someone, she will have intimate thoughts about them but in general, no, she does not think that way.

[death_gone_mad]

For Amascut, she is much too vain about to her appearance for me to deny that she thinks that way. However she disguises herself, she is always young and beautiful, even when she plays at being the almost homeless wanderer. And as a beetle, well... she's a absurdly charming beetle. But anyway, sex is a tool to get what she wants, and I am sure she has more fun playing with some tools than others.

Fairy Fixit has sexual thoughts too, I am sure, I just am not sure what kind of sexual thoughts she has because .... I don't want to think to hard about what kind of equipment she carries. Hint: She is not just a tiny human with wings.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Ellen is an ace, and generally only thinks about sex when circumstances or other people bring up the subject. If it comes to mind at all it's generally in the context of 'procreation is a civic duty' branching out into related subjects.

It's nothing against her husband, either. He's a very dear young man and she knows their priorities are different sometimes.

[road_to_calvary]

Gene - yes. But he's far more vanilla in practice than any thought in his head. Filthy mouth, though.

Javert - looooooool. No. Recently he has entertained the odd enticing thought, and then feels embarrassed about them and makes himself stop.

Valjean - no. A million times no. He has trained himself to accept the fact that he is not worthy of even normal affection, let alone sex. Since he turned to religion, his whole aim has been to distance himself from the world of men and return to God. This is not conducive to earthly pleasures.

He is in for a shock, let me tell you.

Bruce Wayne - also no. Not a dirty mind. He is, however, a red-blooded male at the height of physical prowess, and he is in love with his girlfriend. He's not a dirty joke kind of guy, even though he might act a bit like a frat boy when the cameras are on him. He's more focused on his big rubber suit.

Bruce Banner - another one in the process of trying to train himself out of the urges of the flesh, because he's too afraid of losing control and hurting someone. In The Incredible Hulk he was getting hot with Betty on a bed, and put a stop to it, so it's safe to say he's not about to indulge. But I imagine he thinks about it a fair bit, because he misses it.

Robin Longstride - yes. A lot. And lots of jokes (but not in front of women, because he has some respect. Just with his soldier buddies).

Courfeyrac - see the answer for Bossuet above. He's a ladies man, and not ashamed of it.

[i_am_your_host]

I still recall Javert and raising his huge ire.

[electro_kinetic]

There will be five *very important* words Noriko has for Valjean. And possibly Javert in the process, but I imagine she'll leave that one to somebody else.

[genarti]

Enjolras: ...Ha. Uh. No. He is canonically chaste, sober, "severe in his pleasures," and generally Above Such Things. (FRANCE BEFORE PANTS, as the fandom joke goes.) You can interpret him along a spectrum from asexual to sexually inclined but celibate by choice, but even though he hangs out with various frat-boy-humor sorts, he doesn't participate. This thread is a pretty good illustration of the dynamic in question, although often there'd be other simultaneous (and cleaner) conversations going.

Cosette is a sheltered young woman of the bourgeois class of early 19th century France. She would definitely blush if it were ever brought up in her hearing! She's engaged to be married, so I sure hope she's gotten the facts of life, but it's definitely not something she's used to hearing talked about or joked about.

Thor... hmm, middle of the road? He's not especially sex-driven, but it's certainly a thing he finds fun. He takes his cue from the people around him how much he should make jokes, and I think tends to err on the side of less (for reasons of both personality and position), but he's certainly familiar with locker room innuendo.

Trowa is certainly capable of making the jokes if it fits whatever persona he's going for in a situation where he is going for a persona. And he grew up around soldiers and mechanics (even if they're highly specialized mechanics of complex expensive machinery) -- he's heard all the jokes, I'm sure, even if a lot of them he heard when he was too young to fully understand the punchline. But it's not his normal mode. He's just not a joker in general, and while he's certainly not asexual, he's usually paying attention to other things rather than thinking about sex when not, like, in private with his boyfriend. (And often even then, because they're both nerds.)

Clare is asexual. It doesn't occur to her. She's surprised every time people mention it, although only flustered if they try to hit on her or something.

River... god, I dunno how often she thinks about it. She's a generally physical person, and she thinks about a lot of things at once. She flirts a lot but doesn't make dirty jokes or anything as a rule -- in interactions with strangers and acquaintances, she goes for little-sister teasing generally -- and she's got a pretty solid idea of whether other people want to have the subject mentioned.

Regan, it depends a whole lot on company. Not as a rule, but with the right kind of trusted friends she'll let her hair down a little.

[road_to_calvary]

ngl, i have lost whole minutes of thought to wondering how Cosette got the facts of life

I'm sure as hell hoping the other girls in the convent sorted her out, because the nuns weren't worldly enough and I don't want to encounter the thought that it might have fallen to Valjean.

[inlovewithwords]

Henry's too young.

Eriond doesn't blush, but he doesn't think about it--he's definitely ace, and if sex is on his mind it's in a context of "Oh no, these friends of mine who are a couple aren't connecting. Poor things. Oh, they got back in bed and are okay now. Moving on."

Lois can have a dirty mind, she'll make jokes--sometimes she blushes, too, but she's pretty hardy. And she is definitely a sensual creature; if she's got a boyfriend, definitely thoughts of "Right, so what's our sex life looking like?" will happen. (She does very healthy relationships while she's in them. And happy and intense ones.)

Tavi is finally losing some of his blush reflex, though it took years. He does not have a dirty mind, does not make jokes, and generally is highly embarrassed because it's a private subject, really. Kitai thinks his prudish streak is hilarious and has been wearing it down with time.

[ceitfianna]

Will enjoys sex and does think about it, dirty mind is a weird phrase but he has his moments. The men of Sherwood tease each other and he grew up in a time where it wasn't easy to hide a lot of what was going on especially when you're poor. When he first came to Milliways, he blushed more but that's also the way his skin works.

Charles is complicated, he's seen far too many sex dreams and daydreams and thoughts to be embarrassed by them and he's open about some parts of his sexuality. When it comes to liking men, he's more cautious and he enjoys being able to be open and joke and tease with someone like the Emcee or Jay or gets that part of him. In terms of sex for himself, his favorite part is the physical intimacy as his telepathy makes him want to be close in a lot of ways.

Moist, yes, very much yes, its fun and he likes making other people blush.

Demeter's the same as Moist in terms of her playfulness and she finds it cute when other people blush.

William is a teenage boy who does think about sex but he's also from a time when it was talked about in different ways depending on who you were talking to. He tends to blush and he'd like to be more comfortable about it as he always envies people who seem in control but he's not there yet.

Sameth enjoys sex and thinks about it, pretty much just about Kait who helped him loosen up more as he does blush and get awkward. I don't imagine that either the Old Kingdom or Ancelstierre are that prudish but he's someone who's not good about talking about many issues and sex and love can be complex.

Jane is from a time that's rather more repressed but she read Tom Jones and still thinks about Tom including his body. I imagine that probably not her mother but her French cousin would have talked to her and Cassandra. She blushes but is also curious when people are playful and teasing about sex and would like to have that sort of confidence but that's not what's welcomed in her era.

I know that in theory, Tumnus as a Faun and such must have some sense of sex and all, but I can't make it work with him in my head. I'm comfortable with Narnia not having a prudish society with variations depending on species but Tumnus and sex don't work in my head.

The Pirate King is all for teasing and jokes and lots of sex.

[abitofawildman]

Nope.
Never.
Uh uh.
Perish the thought.

Says Bumi, Mike, and Ida.
(While Raph, Splinter, and Aang merely facepalm in the background)

[herr_bookman]

Ahahaha. Autor blushes at the mere suggestion of a joke about sex.

Somewhat related - he can make himself blush.

[protect_and_survey]

Oswin: ... not so much a dirty mind, as a different set of social mores - think more Jack Harkness and his willingness to hit on anything with a pulse than anything else.

Clara: Certainly doesn't mind flirting, but is a bit more restrained than her ... than Oswin. Yes.

Balthazar: Thinks that the puritanical attitudes that have developed around sex are hilarious, and should be encouraged so he has something to laugh at. He grew up in the time of King Arthur - sex isn't that mysterious.

William: Is a healthy teenaged boy, who is friends with some of the sailors - his blush reflex is dying a swift death. However, he isn't likely to try sex out for himself for quite a while. He's too busy trying to be an officer. Or maybe a naturalist. Or a fighting naturalist.

Jemma: Is also a healthy young adult, surrounded by beautiful people. She was raised to be a bit more circumspect, and has a lower self-opinion body-wise, so her blush is ridiculous. Also she babbles, and things that should stay inside her head find their way out and it's not so good.

aaand the rest will have to wait. Lala back to work.

[misslucyjane]

Steve...let's start with me acknowledging that the Bisexual Steve fandom on Tumblr makes me very happy. It's nice to know I'm not the only one. Though I think with my characterization here it's more, Steve loves who he loves, and sex is fun but not necessary. He'd be fine without it, but he enjoys intimacy and everything that goes along with it. He can joke about it some, but he only does with people he feels really, really comfortable with.

Merlin is like other medieval people, in that he's very frank and earthy, and blushing about sex in general seems a bit silly. Blushing about who he desires, though...yeah.

Bilbo is a confirmed bachelor. 'Nuff said.

Cecil, in the words of the show, keeps a few things between him and Carlos.

Sadie and Frank, however, have let slip a few things to let the audience know that not only do they have passionate sex, there are often ropes and safewords involved.

Jack is not one to blush, but he's not exactly making jokes about it, either. Sexuality, unfortunately, is pretty fraught for him and he's still coming to terms with how to balance his ambitions and his desires. Poor lamb.

Groot is Groot.

[aberration]

Elle seems like she does, but mostly she just doesn't really comprehend the kind of general cultural taboos that are put on sex. She gets that they exist, but hasn't really... absorbed them. So she's not one to blush (the closest thing is if there are FEELINGS attached and then she may get shy) - she'll definitely joke or even tease others. But she wouldn't think of it as having a "dirty mind."

Asami isn't very likely to do anything beyond very light teasing, but she's also not particularly prim or coy. She's also used to a certain level of interest being directed her way, which is mostly polite, but can sometimes be insistent, and a few times has been... unpleasant. Which basically means she's learned to take such interest in stride, as well as when to put her foot down concerning it.

Will is just... kind of private. He doesn't usually talk very much to anyone about what he's thinking about anything. It's not something that's particularly different from anything else he Does Not Want To Talk About, other than that he does have a specific distaste for vulgarity. And though sex itself isn't vulgar, it is often discussed in vulgar and/or disparaging terms. That kind of thing has this very... damaging and dispiriting effect on his psyche, so he really can't stand to be around it. So some might call that squeamish, I guess, but it's not really about sex itself.

Katara will blush, and it is probably one of the few things that would really make her shy. So naturally everyone A:TLA must be randomly interested in her love life.

[fluffiest_archadian]

Sherral and Wan are both teenage boys. Judging by the position of the sun and the moon, I'd say that yeah, yeah, they may - it may cross their mind on occasion.

Neither of them are the types to make jokes about it. Neither of them are particularly the type - and Sherral in particular has a blush reflex so powerful it could probably be weaponised to take out small monsters.

(Even if Wan wanted to, he lives with spirits, none of them would get the joke.)

Yugo, meanwhile, has no blush reflex - there is no embarrassment, there is only dude. He's not overly inclined to make jokes about it either, though. More likely than Sherral and Wan, that's for sure, but it's not his go-to avenue for humour.

[hey35andholding]

*Looks at Clementine and Dixie* *Laughs helplessly*

Juliet can keep up with Shawn's occasionally filthy puns, and Eponine possesses the knowledge of the alee and all of the colorful types who dwell there. Pinkie's a wise/naive type who probably knows more than she lets on.

[runningred]

You've Jay, right? I think that counts as a self-answering question.
