So I would love to hear about all the cute things people in Aefenglom do for their Bonded! :D

Do you have matching accessories? Matching shirts, clothes? Anything you do together? Please tell me all about it!

[Marie is looking for ideas to spoil her own Bonded but also possibly planning... something? Who knows]

[overworker]

Well I did get a magical accessory for the first person I Bonded with.

We didn't have matching ones however-- I chose something I thought suited him but might still remind him of me a little.

[thejoyrider]

What kind of accessory was that?

[Tell her more! And about that Bonded, she is curious now]

[sylphid]

... well now we're getting matching shirts.

[rightfoot]

...I'm picking.

[thejoyrider]

What are these shirts going to say?

un: acemagician

[cardtrick]

Well, if I had one, I'd make them my Ace Assistant!

[thejoyrider]

Who is an Ace Assistant?

I gave my Bonded a ring to wear, so he always has a physical representation of our Bond with him.

[thejoyrider]

That is so beautiful! It is as if you were wed to each other!

I bought him clothes so he'd stop looking like he slept in a dumpster.

[sylphid]

it mostly worked!

i once tried to make his bed into a beach but he didnt like that.

once he was hiding in the forest and i tried to bring him potatoes so he wouldn't starve but i dont think he liked that either.

and then i tried to decorate his skulls by putting eyes on them and organizing them so it would look like they were greeting him but he definitely didnt like that.

but i gave him some piercings and he liked them! :)

[thejoyrider]

[Wow. That is. A lot!

And so inspiring... most of it]

i would have loved to see these skulls

but maybe tell me more about these piercings? What were they for?

[Who does even keep skulls? Are these like... pets? Or decoration?]

[sneaksweet]

Am I supposed to?

[sylphid]

it's not a requirement.

Marie-darling, what brilliance you've brought to the network! Really, you could make MONEY off of this venture. I can see it now: graphic T-shirts with continuous or matching phrases... Cheeky one-liners. Cutesy words of endearment. Sentiments displayed for all to see... to REALLY let the public know what a darling couple each Bonded pair makes!!

I haven't seen any such thing, here in Aefenglom. You could be the pioneer of this untapped market...

[thejoyrider]

It is almost as if you were reading my thoughts! I am thinking if such a business would do well in Aefenglom...

Of course it’s just planning but... It would be lovely if it could work out!

Making tea for him when he comes for a visit is always something special. I know simply touching hands is very conservative to the people here, but even that small thing can be very comforting in quiet times spent together.

I'm not sure if matching accessories would suit us, since it might be difficult to find something to match both our tastes. But that is a nice idea, isn't it? I'll have to keep up with suggestions of the other Mirrorbound for further ideas, myself.

[This public post is as much for Lan Wangji as it is for the actual discussion, he hopes the other man reads it and spits blood.]

[What are you saying? This is absolutely going to be taken the wrong way if you frame it like that!]

Jin Guangyao, we have always shared tea before. It's misleading to state that as though it comes from a Bonding.

And matching accessories sounds excessive if neither one of us typically needs to wear those things. Besides, my last gift to you was returned.

I haven't suffocated him in his sleep yet for snoring.

[thejoyrider]

[Not really what she was thinking of but...]

Maybe try snoring with him next time?

[hoboagogo]

i dunno just normal stuff with both of them.

like sure we're bonded, but without everything else, it doesn't really mean that much.

[rightfoot]

Sap.

Sharing company, especially since it is a new bond and I believe we are still finding our proper limits. But if things continue to go well, I think that there is nothing wrong with giving someone a personal item that they can carry with them. Perhaps something made from an item owned by one so that it can comfort the other?

[thejoyrider]

Did you and your Bonded know each other before arriving in Aefenglom? If you have some shared history, then picking a proper gift would definitely be easier, would it not?

un: taru

[seemstressed]

_{[Oh look it's Marie, a lady with impeccable taste and has the Too Much gene just like Tataru does. She's a like-minded individual, so naturally Tataru eagerly finds herself replying.]}

Oh, oh! Lots of things Marie! Why, I've made sure Henry's dressed quite well. I admit I cannot stop making him new things to wear...I made us matching bangles and scarves as well! We also cook dinner together and clean together.

He's also been escorting me recently at night after my shifts at the tavern by the docks to make sure I get home safe. I had a bit of an ordeal that scared the daylights out of me not long ago so I appreciate it.

_{[Read: Tendou went feral and almost ate her. A bad time.]}

What about you, Marie?

[thejoyrider]

[What’s better than this, just two extra ladies being extra]

Henry is surely lucky to have a Bonded like you, Tataru! I admit I would love to see the matching bangles and other garments you have crafted for him... I am kind of... collecting ideas here, you know.

I gave two of my Bonded some clothes I picked with them in mind but I am still thinking of what nice gifts I could get for my other Bonded. I got some accessories...

text | un: kiva

[kivatteru]

... Well, I don't think we go that far. She doesn't seem the sort of person who would find matching shirts appealing.

[ It sounds more like a thing you'd do with a girlfriend, and they're nothing like that. ]

[thejoyrider]

[That reminds her, Marie has never met Wataru’s Bonded, has she?]

What does she like? Maybe not matching shirts, but there surely is something matching she would appreciate, isn’t that the case?

un: voidgear

[darkcharge]

I share a face with one of my other bonded. That's good enough, right?

[thejoyrider]

[Uh, well. He is not wrong.]

I... suppose so? But it was not a gift either of you gave to the other so you would always think of each other, was it?

Anon

[inlikethebrume]

Everything.

[thejoyrider]

[This is quite cryptic, so...]

What does it mean? Do you never leave their side?

voice;

[scatmaam]

Collecting ideas, my lady? [ A soft chuckle. ]

[thejoyrider]

Oh, I might just be...

[Seen through so easily!]

un: eisner

[hegemonwings]

[ well, a lot of their personal iconography tends to be similar, because of the positions they hold, but. ]

My Bonded gave me a necklace as a birthday gift, five years ago. It's one of my dearest possessions; I only take it off to bathe.

Not here but paying attention

We have learned one another's tea and coffee choices by heart now.

So we regularly just surprise each other with them.

i don't see my bonded wearing anything that i would
but we do spend a lot of time together! we usually go to the local cafes and stuff like that

We just talk and hang out.
