she also googles etiquette and looks for instructional videos

Does this include making sure to wear the correct attire? Does she have to decide whether she wears the formal mustard or the semi formal mustard?

YES TO ALL OF THE ABOVE (though she may be intimidated out of the mustard by seeing strictly black suits in everything she finds)

She also googles pronunciation, starting with menu items and then even some words she thinks she knows just to be sure

rantojax replied to your post “Sam, have you read The Dark Wife?”

Oh man, It’s a retelling of the Hades and Persephone story but Hades is female and is really nice but misunderstood and you should read it. It’s been a while since I read it and now I need to find my kindle and re-read it.

HOLY SHIT NO ONE TALK TO ME UNTIL I FIND THIS AND READ THIS

Alright how about Yaten?

Warning on this one, my Yaten is agender as hell. I’ll be using they pronouns

  • Why they are the best
    They’re such a ridiculous diva, they’re petty and can be downright mean, and I love the ways they’re like Michiru but are still such a contrast to her. And I really love that out of the starlights, they’re the one who seems to absolutely reject Earth. I LOVE THAT THEY HAVE NOTHING BUT DISDAIN FOR THIS PLANET, IT MAKES IT MORE INTERESTING.
  • Why they are the worst
    They never got as fleshed out as much as I’d like, so it’s hard to really dig in past the superficial characterization
  • a canon fact (that shouldn’t be)
    I’ve never really gelled with their investment in Minako in her idol competition episode, at least not the way it played out (I could see it if it was more that they regarded her with cool disdain and ended up feeling a little bit of care, but to me it felt mismatched)
  • a non-canon fact (that should be)
    REI AND YATEN TRY TO DATE
    Uh my weird doomed trash ship aside, I gotta go with gender, I’m really invested in it 
  • a piece of advice I would give them
    SOMETIMES BEING A JERK ISN’T COOL, IT’S JUST BEING A JERK
    (also I’d advise them to tell me about their past because while I think they were always a snob they def cared about something deeply and losing it made them AN ULTRA SNOB)

Ami and Setsuna?

Setsuna

Ami

  • Why they are the best
    listen once upon a time I was the shy valedictorian of my high school, Ami rings some bells. And she so sweet, but god I love the moments where they show she’s got teeth.
  • Why they are the worst
    THE SAME REASON I THINK MOST “SMART” CHARACTERS ARE THE WORST. I love Ami, I do, but I have long resented characters whose primary trait is intelligence, just out of always being compared to them by default. That no longer really happens but sometimes I still feel it.
  • a canon fact (that shouldn’t be)
    PEOPLE HAVE SAID THIS BEFORE, but her not going all out in her race against Michiru in S. There’s a difference between confrontation and competition, and Ami definitely has a competitive streak. 
  • a non-canon fact (that should be)
    One of my favorite pet headcanons is that among the inners, Ami is the first to know she’s not straight and be comfortable with it (not comfortable being out, but comfortable with herself). 
  • a piece of advice I would give them
    IF PEOPLE KNOW YOU, THEY WILL LOVE YOU SO DON’T HOLD BACK

How about a prompt? “You’re an ass.” “It’s Uranus actually.”

I MIGHT DO A BETTER VERSION OF THIS SOMETIME WHEN I AM CAPABLE. It’s tweaked a bit because there was more pun potential and I’m in no state to resist

“You really suck, you know?” Haruka said when Seiya came to
the bar when her band’s set had finished.

“Go home, Tennoh, you’re drunk.”

“I gotta be to sit through your music.”

Seiya ordered two shots right off. “You don’t have to come,
you know.”

“This was my bar long before you brats showed up with your
ponytails.”

“Wow, Tennoh, hair digs? I’d say alcohol has weakened your
insults, but I don’t trust you to do better sober.”

“You’re an ass, Kou.”

“Uranus, actually. Ur-an-ass.” Seiya laughed. “See, you’ve
really gotta make your enemy the butt of your joke.”
