What’s their opinions on PDA?

Thanks for the ask, @illarian-rambling! Let's go with some couples from What Lurks In The Hollow.

Ask Game Here

Zach Taylors & Amy Millihan

Holding hands, hugs, quick kisses, cute little handshakes and stuff, they love that, they really, really do. HOWEVER. Neither of them like when people get too into Public Displays of Affection - like when they see those couples that full-on french kiss in a public square or get too handsy with each other, it gives them The Ick, and they so hate that.

Dylan Millihan & Christine Nespor

It depends. Dylan's generally really reserved (a very grumpy version of being shy, like "what the fuck you looking at?" when strangers stare or something), and isn't a really touchy-feely person, he doesn't deal with too much touch well. He's more the kind to show his love through quiet actions or begrudging reminders for the other to take care of themselves. Christine is a very hyper extrovert that tends to go all in into relationships, and is very much a hugger and cuddler, but she's very respectful of boundaries. As they interact, Dylan's slowly starting to like hugs - but not too much, and not all the time - and Christine is learning alternative ways to show affection other than physical touch.

Liam Steele & Savvanah Hahn

HECK YEAH, they're into it. They're generally very "loud" with things that they do - in the sense they have a very strong presence that ends up getting all the attention when they're around - and that includes their relationship. They're rarely seen without the other, and they usually walk either holding hands or with their arms around each other's waist. They kiss, lean into each other while playing at an arcade machine, they cuddle, they blast their favorite love songs as loud as possible when in Liam's car. Like "HECK YEAH WE LOVE EACH OTHER, WHAT OF IT? (:". Some people are too quick to judge and think they're too "clingy" to each other but Liam and Savvy are just generally best friends who adore each other's presence - they're The Power Couple of this book.

Erin Niemand & Indigo "Indie" Lauriel

Nope. Erin's a very introverted loner who, for the longest time in her life, didn't have many friends and/or proper social skills. Indie's an extrovert, but she's a more layback kind of extrovert who just generally does her thing and enjoys life. Neither of them are very much into physical touch BUT they do have a secret handshake that only each other knows later on in the story. They do like cuddling while watching movies, but never in public - being too romantic-y in public just feels awkward for them both.

Conner Watsen & Maeve Fernandez

They don't mind it - they'll kiss in public, hug, just generally sit close to each other, give eachother piggyback rides, etc. Both of them just generally mind their own business and live their own lives no matter what others think, but much like Zach & Amy they don't like when people get too into it in public like, "okay, it's wonderful y'all love eachother but goodness that's a bit...intense". It just feels uncomfortable, but they generally just quickly acknowledge it and then carry on like they'd never seen anything amiss.

🎞️About/General Info🎞️

Liam Steele is one of the most well-known teenagers in Vinethorn Grove, infamous - and feared - for his fiery personality and tendencies to withdraw himself emotionally from the world, which makes people assume he just doesn't care. Which isn't true. With a knack for getting into trouble, especially fist fights with other teens, Liam has long since been labeled a local 'bully' or troublemaker - but that couldn't be further from the actual truth. Liam only gets into fights with the actual bullies of the town, whenever said bullies pick on him, his girlfriend or anyone else. But the sheer strenght and explosiveness with which he deals with such other kids gives outsiders the wrong impression most of the time. Tired of trying to prove himself otherwise, Liam has quietly accepted the rumors and given up in trying to 'clear his reputation', and chosen to just live in his own little world with his girlfriend (Savvy), his music, and his car, pretending not to care about what anyone else thinks of him. But deep down, a lost, but kind, part of him still wants to be accepted and still wants to make more friends - even though his anger and his difficulty blending in have made him a pariah to most, so many other teens don't even get close enough to truly get to know him. Despite all of that, he has a good heart and a loyal personality that will strongly stand beside anyone who proves themselves a true friend worthy of their time.

🎞️ More Info 🎞️

Pronouns - He/Him Age - 17 Appearance - Liam is somewhere between average height and tall, especially for a teenager, and is quite athletic and muscular while still being thin. He has long, volumous blond hair that is quite curly, and which he usually keeps loose and wild, a lot of his style reflects his love for vintage rock and roll. He has dark grey eyes and his favorite clothes include a distressed denim vest, simple jeans and band T-shirts, occasionally opting for a long-sleeve denim jacket or a comfy coat, as well as worn out red ankle converse shoes or occasionally simple boots. He always wears the DIY charm bracelet that his girlfriend, Savvy, gave him - it has both sentimental value to him and doubles a fidget toy for when he gets anxious.

Personality Types:

📸Enneagram: 8w7

📸MBTI: INFJ

Occupation: Student (currently on school break), Rock 'n Roll Enthusiast, Local Troublemaker, Paranormal Investigator (begrudgingly)

Place of Birth: Vinethorn Grove

Orientation: Straight

🎞️ Personal Life 🎞️

Family:

Nicholas Steele - Uncle, Legal Guardian

Status: Alive Age: 28-29 Occupations: Businessman/Business owner Relationship: Good, the only 'parent' figure Liam truly had ever since he was 7 (but Nicholas is far more of a lax older brother figure/best friend kind of guy than someone serious or fully prepared to raise a kid, though he does try his best and is honestly great)

Stephanie Steele - Mother

Status: Alive Age: 44 Occupations: Magazine Editor, Band Groupie Relationship: Bad (practically abandoned Liam with her brother - Nicholas - when she first had the chance, claiming she needed time to focus solely on her career while grieving her mother's death. She claimed she would come back for him, but never did, and now lives a successful life in the capital, having practically forgotten her son exists)

Debora Steele - Grandmother

Status: Deceased (died half a year before his mother ditched him) Age: 61 Cause of Death: Cancer Occupations: Former stay at home mother, widow and heiress (of the family business) Relationship: Good, but short lived

Unnamed Father

Best Friends/Allies:

Savvanah 'Savvy' Hahn:

Kev serves as Liam's ghostly mentor from the beyond and is at times a friendly ally to the group despite being dead, but also serves as a terrifying cautionary tale of the fate Liam might face if he doesn't stop trying to do everything all alone or if he insists on pushing everyone away.
