SWEETS, anything sweet!!!! She especially loves cupcakes and baked goods. Sweets will always make her happy.

If she had to pick a real food, she loves pizza and steak. But she always loves stuffing her face with sweets when she's bad a bad day. As for drinks, she really loves bubble tea!!!

Pet play!! He really wants to be someone's puppy (bitch). Its why he tends to always wear a collar as one of his accessories. He has a hard time finding people who will indulge him in this, partially because he's very picky.

After Val and Tasha got married, they were pretty happy for a while! Tasha got pregnant quickly (Nikolai was a Honeymoon Baby), and Val took good care of her while she was with child. However, after Nikolai was born, post partum hit Tasha pretty hard, and Val was the main one really tending to their infant son.

Overall, both of them began to drift apart over the span of Nikolai being born to when Nikolai was around 2 or 3. Val became more withdrawn, and Tasha gradually just fell out of love with him because Val was very guarded about his past and was mainly focused on caring for their son. This all came to boil when Val discovers Tasha cheating on him with a younger man. Like literally he walks into the bedroom and catches bro in mid-thrust. Had Val been his younger, more violent self he would've killed them both. But he ends up taking Nikolai (who was napping) and leaves.

The divorce comes and Tasha gets pretty much full custody of Nikolai with Val having some visitation rights. It was very messy and not a pleasant time in Val's life. He's still on speaking terms with Tasha because she's the mother of his child, but he'll always have insecurities and pain in his heart from her betrayal. And he knows he isn't perfect either from how hands-off and guarded he was with Tasha. He doesn't blame her for what she did, looking back, but it still hurts.

BATTLE ROYALE, the novel by Koushun Takami. I am OBSESSED with Battle Royale and if I had the skill to write my own take on BR with my OCs I would LOVE to do it. throwing all my blorbos into a killing game would be SO FUN and I honestly want to write something like it someday, even if it takes me forever. BR is one of my top three books I've ever read and had huge effect on my brain.

Sonia didn't really have any bad illnesses growing up thankfully (unless her chronic depression counts?)!

However when she gets older (30s perhaps) she does develop heart arrhythmia which is actually the canonical cause of her death before she hits her 40's. </3

He loves motorcycles, he has a motorcycle and he loves going on long rides. Its one of his favorite things to do to unwind. He also loves social drinking, places where he can go and sit and just enjoy the vibes or play darts. He's also very much big into classic rock.

If he's not in the mood to go out though he spends a lot of time at his apartment, smoking on his balcony or scrapbooking. He actually really, REALLY loves scrapbooking, a fact that a lot of people don't know about him! Its very calming and cathartic for him.

Sonia: "Oh, we learned about Shakespeare in high school! It didn't really stick with me, but it was interesting!"

Val: "Eh... I'm not much of a literature guy, honestly."

Abby: "I enjoyed Romeo & Juliet..."

Matias: "That the 'Quote the Raven, Nevermore', guy? Crazy shit."

Cirina: "Before I lost my sight I really enjoyed reading his works. I should really revisit some on audiotape..."

Bambi: " Anything that has tragedy, romance and scandal I am absolutely enamored with. I was too busy with my own acting to look too much into it, I should change that perhaps..."

SONIA LOVES BLUEY, she is OBSESSED with Bluey. She makes Val watch it and he's like. 'this is not for a man my age but I enjoy this.'

Abigail has a fondness for watching old commercials from the 80's/90's, not an animated show but she finds comfort in nostalgic things!

and Bambi loves watching old black & white cartoons!!!! that'll always be her aesthetic for sure.

He has two big ones.

1. Losing contact with his family back in Russia. When Val was young he was a prick that got caught up in organized crime and lived a very violent lifestyle with the gang he was in. His family of course didn't approve of this so they had a bad falling out. Val left home pretty early to dedicate himself fully to organized crime. When he left Russia, he never got the chance to say goodbye or make amends with them. It's one of those things he regrets more as time goes on.

2. One of the people he was sent to kill when he was in organized crime was a man that flipped and betrayed the family. After tracking him down, he was able to fulfill the hit, but the guy's young daughter witnessed the killing and the girl was devastated. He felt extremely guilty about it because he didn't want to traumatize a kid, he doesn't like to think about the families of the people he killed. It was eye opening and he still has regrets about it. It really changed his perspective on his lifestyle. He doesn't like to talk about it.

Sonia likes drawing (mostly animals and fashion), taking long, hot baths, and if she's really pent up she has Val wreck her. 🙏🏾

But she really loves art and music to help her drift away. Art to help express herself and vent, and she enjoys laying down and listening to a lot of different varieties of music.

When she's with Val, not just the sexual aspects, but she really loves just going and burying her face against his chest while he holds her. He really helps calm her down after a bad day.

ABSOLUTELY!!! Sonia is like... Pansexual? I believe would be the term? she's attracted to anyone she feels physically/emotionally attracted to regardless of what they identify as! Regardless of who you are Sonia would 100% be super cuddly (and would want you to hurt her) if you're kind to her (or if you turn her on <3)

Believe it or not, Abby doesn't watch a lot of porn! She prefers to daydream and create her own scenarios in her head. But if she did watch porn it would be pretty vanilla. She prefers clitoral stimulation though. <3 Abby is more 'innocent' when it comes to what she prefers when it comes to things like that!

Self - loathing and low self esteem in general! She's always felt really insecure about herself, and she has really bad anxiety when it comes to certain things. She struggles with depression, but is the type to internalize her own feelings for the sake of lifting up others. A lot of days she feels like she's kinda going through the motions, especially if it's an au where she doesn't have a good support system or anyone close to her.

A lot of the flaws Sonia has are some things I've dealt with IRL because it's easier to project them onto her, and I've lived it so I have a easy time writing for her low points ,;w;:

He realized he had actual romantic feelings for her when Sonia is between 15/16! He's extremely alarmed by this, and feels incredibly guilty! He's always found Sonia cute and cared for her of course since she's his best friend's daughter, so when he begins to see her as more than that he starts to really internally fight with himself over his feelings for her. Especially after his divorce from his wife (which leads into an ugly custody battle for his son, Nikolai). He becomes lonely and desperately wants to give into Sonia's feelings (she's been saying she wants to marry him since she was a kid..... and she meant it LOL ;;;;). But overall its a really, really rough time for him internally and emotionally.

This results in him going out of his way to avoid her for a time out of guilt and trying to contain his own feelings, and Sonia does not take it well at all!

Val enjoys bdsm porn, lesbian porn (he's a grown man he can't help it smh), anything with rough scenes in general, bonus points if there's a blonde with blue eyes in the scene. When it comes to bdsm scenes, he loves when the girls are completely tied down and the man is completely in control. That sort of thing awakens the beast inside of him. 🤤

As a bonus answer, Sonia likes bdsm, gangbangs, and anything involving extreme kinks.

When she was young, she always had little nightgowns she would sleep in! She adored them, they made her feel like a princess.

When she starts her relationship with Val she sleeps in his T-Shirts or simply naked! Sonia will typically start the night in one of his shirt's and then ends up naked before the night is over LOL.

LMAO Good question! She was extremely spoiled growing up and has a very toxic, competitive personality. She sees Sonia as a threat to her relationship with Cedric and in general is just a nasty, spiteful bitch. She might have a little self loathing in there from some things that happened in her childhood, but that's a story for another day!

While Sonia, Cedric and Kat were out on a camping trip (Cedric always enjoyed taking the girls on little trips when Sonia was going to help her get used to Kat) Kat accidentally pushed Sonia and made her fall back-first into the campfire! It was extremely traumatic for Sonia since she was only like. 6 when this happened?

She ended up being hospitalized for a while and her back was permanently marred with the big burn scars she has. Cedric wasn't looking when it happened, so Kat insisted that Sonia fell by herself, being a dumb kid. Cedric believed her. :')

Maria passed away shortly after Sonia was born, in the hospital. She didn't recover from the birth well and had lost a lot of blood-- Maria was always delicate, and she just couldn't hold on. Sadly Sonia has no memories of Maria since she was literally an infant.

Cedric doesn't necessarily 'blame' Sonia for Maria's death, but a deep, dark part of his psyche does wish things had been different and that he still had his wife. He would never let Sonia know this though because he does love his daughter and does his best for her, but he'll always have that dark thought in the back of his head that if Sonia hadn't been born.... Well who knows.

God she loves a lot about him. She loves how big he is compared to her, since she's such a petite little thing. Another thing she loves about him are his scars, even though he got them from a life of violence she thinks they're beautiful. She's spent a lot of time caressing them and asking how he got certain ones. She feels like between the two of them being so scarred up that they complete each other's puzzle.

She also loves his stubble. She does not want that man clean shaven. XD she likes the way it feels when he kisses her or rests his chin on her head or cuddles with her (or other things).

Sonia loves the cooler seasons, Fall and Winter! She loves the vibes of Halloween and Christmas, and she loves being able to wear her big sweaters and long sleeved shirts without being too hot. She's shy about her scars so summer is harder for her to be comfortable since it's hotter.

But she's always loved Halloween because she loves candy and the spooky season. Thanksgiving she doesn't care as much for because Kat always comes over when she's dating her dad.

Christmas she loves, but she mostly just enjoys seeing the decorations and other people celebrating. She doesn't care too much about getting gifts or anything like that, she just loves the atmosphere.
