Citrine Hexticide

Pro's

+ Will do literally all the chores if you need them to

+ Is good at most of the chores

+ Will listen to all of your problems and offer emotional support (along with advice/solutions if you need it and if they can give you any)

+ Really fun to be around

+ Will remove insects from your room without killing them

+ Pays on time

+ If you're an insect lover they most likely keep insects in their room (as pets)

Cons

- You can never tell if they ACTUALLY want to do anything you ask them to and you end up feeling guilty anytime you ask them because you feel like you're taking advantage of them somehow (they are a people pleaser and you are right to feel bad)

- Will judge you if you are scared of/hate insects (he wont say it out loud but you will feel it)

- Will eventually develop conflicting feelings towards you if you ask him to do a lot of things

- They're 150cm so they won't be able to get things off of high places without a step ladder or parkouringĀ 

- If you're an insect hater they most likely keep insects in their room (as pets)

falls asleep if you ask him to sit for >5 minutes


ic's roommate:

pros

extra clean and good at cooking and laundry

so quiet and unobtrusive you will not even know he lives there

always down to body double/help with basic things, very open-minded

can catch and release any creature that comes inside

consĀ 

breaks into the house instead of using a key, probably doing illegal stuff on the computer

gets night zoomies and climbs around on all the walls and ceiling at 3 am. makes hideous buzzing noises. eyes may also shine in the dark

cranky and will come out and stare at you if you accidentally drop a crumb on the ground too loudly during his sulking time

cagey and stingy. won't let you look at or breathe on anything in his room. does not buy enough supplies ever

Robin Lobo-Inu

Pros!

  • Super tidy and will help clean, whether it's his space or yours!
  • Resident therapist on stand-by
  • Always has very nice candles or incense burning
  • Respectful of your space and belongings
  • Will tuck you in if you fall asleep on the couch
  • Will also make you some bomb ass tea whenever you ask
  • Is super good if you need help decorating your space
  • If rent is involved, he's good about paying in full each time. At least nowadays
  • He'll help fix small things that need repair

Cons...

  • While he is the resident therapist, he needs one himself desperately. Cries often
  • If you are sensitive to incense, it will not stop him from burning it
  • Has a brother who's indeed not respectful of your belongings. He and Robin are a package deal
  • Struggles with depressive episodes. You won't see him for 2 weeks straight, he'll be stuck in his bedroom
  • Wasn't always good with money. Depends on when you take him in
  • He WILL bring in a random puppy one day neither of you discussed beforehand. Could be a pro to some
