How To Show Affection: Jukka(he/him) And Yuuma(they/them)

How to Show Affection: Jukka(he/him) and Yuuma(they/them)

Jukka is the most simultaneously extravagant lover and the most laidback lover. While, yes, Jukka routinely demonstrates love through obviously romantic gestures such as poetry and love letters, it's not the most 'genuine" thing.

Jukka's love languages are primarily gift-giving and words of affirmation but these aren't "natural" for him. He could, theoretically, do anything or nothing to express affection since Jukka doesn't really feel strong emotions.

Jukka's greatest act of affection is mostly through his effort. He doesn't feel the subjective emotion of sadness whenever Yuuma is sad BUT Jukka does try to comfort Yuuma.

Yuuma expresses affection in the little things. Leaving a specific chair open since they know Jukka needs to sit next to an exit. Grabbing an extra soda since Jukka is always thirst yet never remembers to bring something >:(

They both show affection just through open-mindedness and a strong respect for and consideraton for their boundaries.

Jukka doesn't understand Yuuma's hypersensitivity but that doesn't mean he can't try to emotionally comfort them

Yuuma doesn't understand Jukka's need for privacy but that doesn't mean Yuuma can't defend their partner whenever someone tries to force that information out!

Hello🌹 Excuse me if I bother you or intrude on you..but I need your support. My home and my source of livelihood were destroyed. I was displaced many times and my tent was burned. My children and I are living in the street in the rain and cold. Donate to me and help me for the sake of my children, please 🙏🙏

For future reference, I prefer to have posts featuring a link of some kind either to a go fund me or to another similar site :)

Classic Examples Of Their Love: Yuuma and Jukka

Yuuma is definitely a laidback type of lover who only really goes out of their way for obvious Grand Romantic Gestures when it's some type of anniversary or holiday.

Yuuma's main gestures tend to be waiting up for Jukka if he's lagging behind the rest of the group and listening to Jukka go on a passionate monologue about cinema for hours on end.

Yuuma's more romantic gestures are when Jukka makes some type of comment about adoring a specific romantic cliche. One time, for Jukka's birthday, they made a portrait of Jukka. It was incredibly hard since Yuuma went for realistic in this portrait when their normal artistic style is far more abstract and symbolic :)

Jukka's casual love gestures are through excessive compliments and poetry. He definitely tries to recreate typical romance cliches for Yuuma such as writing a song for Yuuma, expensive restaurants, and all that fun jazz!

It's less because Jukka genuinely wants this and more due to the fact that Jukka is f*cking awful when it comes to genuine displays of affection.

His most genuine gesture is when he's recommending movies and shows for Yuuma to watch. Jukka takes cinema very very seriously.

p.s yes I am doing multiple posts >:(

Thank you so much for the positive response! As someone who has a intense interest in mental illness and media, I can get exceedingly annoyed when I see the same reductive portrayal of these conditions, I can often forget the well-meaning person behind the creation.

For that, I apologize.

If you still want to write a story where Liam Clark is unaware of the murdering, you could use the supression or repression of memories.

It would be an interesting way to still keep Liam Clark in the dark about the murders while not outright villainizing any specific disorder.

Although, if you are going this route, I recommend that some traces of the memories "bubble" up from time to time. It can be a misplaced phobia that doesn't really make sense, an avoidance of certain actions that his brain may associate with the murders, and other stuff like that.

If you want to send in a more "formal" writing advice request, my inbox is always open :)

I Need help creating a new Character

HI, so I have a new character, but I am worried I would write him wrongly.

My new character is called Liam Clark. But the thing is, he is the villain in his own story.

Sort of like Norman Bates but the thing is,he is austistic.

Yeah, I am so worried. I have opened like ten tabs on Autism in teens and kids and boys. I read a book Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare. Great book by the way. Where Ty , has autism or has the traits ,show don't tell but done amazedly well.I think.

My other worry is that he is a villain, anti-hero. Who commits crimes without his knowledge.

I even wrote a draft, if anyone who is Autistic, please tell me if I am writing wrongly. So I can improve it.

I even want to consult one of my friends, but I feel like I am overstepping a boundary by asking him to help me.

I would ask him tho.

So, I have created his well personality, kind off. I want to make him a guy who happens to be autistic not an autistic guy and that's it.I am somewhere, not quite.

So, Liam Clark, is a seventeen-year high School student from southern California.

Liam is a smart dude, gets all A and Bs and stuff. At his High School, people bully him for being "werid" because he likes staring at stuff that are posters. Liam is obsessed with posters and Horror films. The book takes place in 2019 so is very progressive. He HATES loud music and HATES being stared at and it pisses him off.He hates the texture of yogurt because it reminds him of something NSFW, but he is into it.He still eats it because he can and taste like wet cement. He is very picky with his food and stuff and avoids the texture. He is very honest, very rude if you don't know him and points out the obvious to people which pisses them off. He doesn't like socializing much Tho, His classmates are little shits and call him Aussie just to piss him off. And in the first chapter, he calls them out. He really wants to punch those kids but he is worried that he would get in trouble for it, so he insults them in his mind. He divides his lunch and certain foods that look like plastic.

Plus, he is bisexual. Attracted to men most but attracted to women. Since he doesn't get social cues, he would tell the guy to his face about his assets and even girls to which makes them shocked.

Not the best guy right.

I am scared to write him because I feel like I am villainizing Autistic people and making him a villain.

Please I need help.

Worst of all is that he suffers from a big delusional disorder so he doesn't really see what he did was wrong even if it stared at him in the face. And DID, which he isn't aware of his criminal version of himself which does crime from petty to straight up evil. He doesn't get it, he becomes ignorant. He is unreliable narrator.

The story is indded a Murder Mystery which is told in first person and not chronologically.

He is a white guy who is lanky and skinny and stuff.

So yeah.

I need criticism need to improve him, or I would lock him away. And never write him.

I am stretching my hands towards the Autistic community asking for help and advice. Thank you.

Heres a link to the draft. Thanks if anyone reads it and gives their viewpoint.It is also kind of Satire.
