oh my god I'm so sorry eure I cannibalized your post in an attempt to quote it.......steex (praying hands) savior

morning person or night owl?
Night owl but not by choice! He'd have been a morning person if not for 1. a lot of shows happening later at night, plus crew after-parties running til the early hours and 2. he would rather not sleep at All if given the choice. He enjoys night life, but a quiet night can be miserable.

shower or bath? (quick or luxurious? a dozen hair products or a 3-in-1 shampoo/conditioner/bodywash?)
Shower (because his apartment... doesn't have a tub), lots of hair products, then not a lot else beyond the basic essentials. Will hang out in the shower for a while! Good thinking place, likes how the sound of water drowns things out.

what's the worst haircut they've ever had?
Thought he might go full blonde at some point and got the wrong product, whole head came out neon orange, he had a lip wobble when staring into the mirror

favorite real animal?
Blackbirds and corvids - ravens, crows, magpies. He's also fond of hamsters due to a childhood pet.

favorite mythical animal / cryptid?
Mmm... Peryton?

what dog breed would your bean be?
a sleepy dog

cellphone lockscreen / wallpaper?
Definitely a snapshot or promotional image for a recent / upcoming performance for lockscreen! When he was in a relationship, wallpaper would be just some candid of the two of them, but nowadays settles for more set photos

more night owl than morning person but not too much? they don't particularly like either extremes but if having to choose between getting up early to do something or staying up late for it, they'd rather stay up late.
shower, the faster the better. shampoo and conditioner, no more than that. doesn't even remember the brand.
they've established this pixie bowl cut for a very long time now so i would say what they consider to be their "worst" cut is actually before it was cut into this, back when the orphanage asked them to keep their hair longer so potential adopters know what they're getting. they argued it down to at most shoulder length but even then they didn't like it.
bunnies, especially black ones. but also has a weird fondness for crazy looking hares.
hmm i wanna say pegasus? any winged horse will do, not just specifically the greek one. not sure tho idk if they're ever the type to be interested in cryptids and mythical beasts.
toss up between chihuahua and cavalier king charles.
lockscreen is a weirdly eerie shot of a single street lamp lighting up an empty road at night. wallpaper is probably some generic purple/blue gradient with subtle patterning, one of those wallpapers that come with the phone. they've been thinking about changing it but can't decide what to change it to.

get checkpointed

How good is your bean at recognizing when they need help, and then asking for it?

Jiji personally, is capable of the former but absolutely terrible at the latter. Definitely the type who would be too proud to beg and would sooner die than ask. They don't like to admit it, but they get embarrassed far too easily.

Otis is a pro at both. He struggled with the latter a lot when he was younger out of fears of being a burden or not being good enough for others, but his new family and community both helped a ton in reassuring him that, not only is it acceptable to ask for and recieve help, but that it's important to do so! 

Definitely would be the type to encourage others to ask for help if he thinks they might need it, or offer his own assistance if he feels like he can help, as well – but he won't impose about it.

She doesn't need help! She never needs help!! She's good at everything she tries so why would she need help!!!

She knows she needs help, but she'll be damned if anyone sees her in (what she sees as) a vulnerable state.

HMMMM. I think it depends on the sort of thing? Bx is used to working collaboratively on things, or doing chores together, they aren't shy about asking for help carrying the laundry out or other sort of communal tasks. But I do think that they were one of the oldest, and then eventually The oldest, at the orphanage, and so a lot of responsibility and accountability fell on them and they were expected to solve their own problems. Emotional issues or even just generally things that affected Only Them were pretty firmly kept to themself to solve by themself. So Group Problems are a group effort and Personal Problems are stuffed down under the rug and dealt with Alone, If At All, until a lot of trust is built up.

Night owl for sure! Lex gets off work at like 3am most nights, and even on their days off, they like to go out with friends!

Shower, and they have a hair and skincare routine so complex I'd need a color-coded calendar to break it down. But hey, it works!

When Lex was like 12-13, their mom took them to get a haircut. They came out with this generic-ass straight bob with bangs. They hated it so much that they got up in the middle of the night and hacked their hair to BITS with a pair of kitchen scissors. The damage was so bad that their mom called out of school for them so she could take them to get it fixed.

Lex loves frogs. They think they're just funky little guys.

A lab/pit mix. They're just goofy little guys without a thought behind those eyes.

Icarus would rather not ask for help ever if he can help it, but he is self aware enough to recognise when he does need it. it also, i think, depends on how much help he needs? what the problem(s) is/are, etc.

like, for example? if he needs help with homework: absolutely not, no, will refuse to ask for help. he can always google it.

but if he needs help moving a heavy desk? or other furniture? with his stick-like arms? yeah, hes gonna ask for help, even if he doesnt want to.

Eriadne prides herself on being self-reliant and independent, but she's also self-aware enough to recognize when she is incapable of doing something that needs to be done.  She hires people to do the jobs she can't.  It's not passively accepting help; it's making a fair exchange/trade.  By paying folks for their service, she can maintain a sense of self-reliancy and control in the situation.  

Entering the school setting, this tendency might translate to an "I owe you" mentality.  She wouldn't let someone get away with helping her for free; she'd try to return the favor as soon as possible.

morning person or night owl: by schedule (or lack thereof) nightowl, but he would definitely be a morning person

shower or bath? (quick or luxurious? a dozen hair products or a 3-in-1 shampoo/conditioner/bodywash?): when he has access to it, quick showers with shampoo/soap he made himself. when he doesn't, he has a portable hotplate for heating water and a designated clean water bucket for the fastest scrub n rinse ever

what's the worst haircut they've ever had: he wouldn't class this as the worst, but visually yes: when he was younger (~8-9?), he finally got fed up with his mother not letting him cut his hair bc he looked 'like a little princess' with long curly hair, so he hacked it off as close to the scalp as possible before school. he also definitely went to school like that, got sent home, and school admins went 'uhhhhh let's call cps just in case?,' which was a fun experience for his parents (i need to draw. little babb ali with tufts of fluff still on him. looking proud as fuck of himself ":3c")

favorite real animal: you want ali to pick one? just one? impossible

favorite mythical animal / cryptid: "what if a samoyed was a werewolf how fluffy would it be? *vibrates*"

what dog breed would your bean be: husky. AWOOEUEUUEUOUAEOEUOAUEUEOAEUOO. in reality he would be orange cat. no arguments.

cellphone lockscreen / wallpaper: he changes them constantly whenever he takes a new photo he rly likes. rotates between stuff from gigs + various animals he sees (and pets). his phone is an older model that comes with a microsd slot, so the only things he does on it are taking photos & posting the photos online. also looking up animal memes to save for later. he def has tons of filled up sd cards in storage, all full of photos.

H E L P: now? pretty damn good at both. took a lot of time and effort to get there tho. sometimes even for little things that he can do himself, but if he feels like someone can use a bit of socialising he'll try to pull them in w/ simple tasks. he doesn't like it when people feel left out/lonely (ex, he'll be the kinda dude to notice the person at a party that doesn't seem to be enjoying themselves/know anyone there & try to engage)

beap checknoint
does your bean have any tattoos? if not, and they Had to get one, what would it be?
