From this list. (Thanks @masamune-archive; I got the inspiration from you!) Instead of asks, I'm just going to do the whole alphabet, so here we gooooo:
Activities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?
Kennyo loves spending time with his partner going on nature walks, feeding animals, and attending flower-viewing festivals. Seeing his beloved's eyes light up at the beauty of the world fills his heart with unparalleled peace and joy. In these moments, he can't help but think of the world as a beautiful place, too. He'll be wearing a soft smile the whole time, grateful from the bottom of his heart.
Similarly, Kennyo cherishes simple domestic bliss. Preparing food together, gardening, cleaning up around the temple, reading in the same room, or chatting before sleep -- these everyday moments feel like great blessings to him.
Beauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?
This depends on who his s/o is~! Everyone has a unique mix of traits to admire.
Traits that Kennyo may find particularly admirable are kindness, bravery, and integrity. In a world where survival often requires selfishness or self-erasure, and where the cruel rise to the top, Kennyo sees acts of compassion as heart-achingly beautiful. Helping others, fighting back against the cruel, and staying true to one's sense of right and wrong will call to him, an irresistible and undeniable resonance with what he values, no matter how hard he tries to deny himself.
Comfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?
Kennyo would hold his beloved close, seating them in his lap and guiding them through breathing exercises to help their body relax. In his deep, soothing voice, he'll remind them that these moments are just that: moments. They will pass, and he's here with them to help them stay afloat until then.
Dreams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?
Kennyo is a fairly traditional man, so when he thinks of a happy future with his lover, he thinks of marriage, children (adoption is fine!), and ministering to Shin Buddhist followers in a new Hongan-ji temple town with verdant gardens that attract a lot of animals.
Trauma and pessimism cause him to fear that any happiness with his partner may one day be violently ripped away, leaving either him or them alone to grieve. As much as this possibility frightens him, he will not give up on his love, so he pushes his fears away to pursue his dream for a bright and peaceful future.

Here it is! Finished piece for my redesign of Swap!Sans / Blue.
Please imagine his homemade not-actually-metal armor clattering hilariously whenever he moves.
And my final piece for #Fellsweep -- the victory kiss~ šš
The lower opacity has the style and mood I wanted, but I still like the way it looks at full opacity, so here are both!

From this list! Instead of asks, I'm just doing the whole thing. :3
Equal - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?
Kennyo's goal and inclination is to be in harmony with his partner. If his lover is more passive and gets nervous about making decisions, he will take the lead, but gently seek for input to ensure they're still going in a direction that will make them happy. He'll try to build up their confidence to state their desires, too. He wants to be someone who makes his beloved feel safe and valued.
If his partner is someone who is very comfortable with going after what they want, then he's happy to follow, both in terms of physical intimacy and decision-making in general. However, Kennyo probably would be hurt and even frustrated if truly momentous decisions were made without talking to him. While he doesn't need to be dominant, he does want his voice to be trusted and valued, too.
Fight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?
Kennyo tends to forgive immediately. Everyone makes mistakes -- the Buddhas know he has made plenty -- and he cares much more about being at peace with his lover than about gratifying his ego. Fighting stresses Kennyo out, and he can hardly sleep or eat if his partner is mad at him. Even in arguments, he tries to stay calm and gentle, seeking a way to get back on the same page, and it's clear that being at odds weighs heavily on his heart. There are very, very few things over which he will raise his voice: if his beloved wants to throw themselves in danger, the pain and fear are too great for him to keep his calm in an extended argument; if they wanted to do something that would endanger other innocent people, the dissonance with his values would fray his composure. Again, though, Kennyo doesn't fight to dominate. His goal is always to bring himself and his partner back to a genuine, trusting place, and forgiveness from him is basically a given.
Gratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?
The core of Shin Buddhism is gratitude, so, except for when he's at his most pessimistic and depressed, Kennyo generally tries to keep a grateful heart. However, even when he's feeling bitter about the universe at large, he still notices and feels grateful for the ways in which people and animals show each other kindness. He will especially notice if it's his beloved, because there's no one else he would rather pay attention to, and he will be sure to express his gratitude both in words and in acts of service to repay their thoughtfulness towards him.

Reikaās flirting is, perhaps, rather typical. She expresses interest by being straightforwardly positive:
āItās nice to see you~ā
āThat was impressive.ā
āThank you for spending time with me. It means a lot.ā
And by paying careful attention to her object-of-affectionās mood, interests, etc. etc. and checking in with them about those things.
Granted, she acts this way towards most everyone sheās on good terms with, soĀ itās the very direct, warm eye-contact and gentle tone of voice that is intended to be ~meaningful.~ If sheās more confident about the other party being interested, there will be lingering glances, secret smiles, and the occasional touch on an arm or shoulder. :3c And then sheāll probably just tell them that she admires them a lot and would like to be closer ā probably taking their hand and stepping very close when she does soĀ >u>
From this list!
Quirk - Some random ability they have thatās beneficial in a relationship.
Kennyo's monk training has given him a number of skills that are useful in a relationship: being a good listener, staying calm, expressing gratitude (and the strength and flexibility don't hurt, either ;3). But perhaps the most quirky is his ability to raise his body temperature through sheer force of will. If his partner gets cold, especially on long winter nights, he can warm them right up through cuddling.
Romance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? ClichƩ or rather creative?
Kennyo takes any opportunity to write love poems and notes for his partner. Holidays, the changing of seasons, a patch of rain-watered flowers catching his eye -- any and all such things give him the excuse and inspiration to express his love in writing. For special occasions, he'll work painstakingly on the poem for weeks, maybe even months, to get it just right. But for the smaller everyday occurrences, the love notes are shorter and more whimsical, although no less sweet.
Kennyo also pays a lot of attention to atmosphere. Once he knows his lover's favorite colors, scents, flowers, or motifs, he'll make sure to incorporate such elements into their shared home, especially their bedroom, and/or he'll take his lover to places where those elements can be enjoyed. Similarly, Kennyo pays a lot of attention to his lover's mood, and he'll bring gifts or take his lover to a special place to accentuate what they're feeling. As much as possible, he wants his partner to be able to experience a beautiful world where they can freely feel joy, wonder, excitement, peace, comfort, or even cathartic sadness, and the right setting can go a long way towards facilitating those emotions.
Support - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?
Kennyo has the utmost faith in his partner and takes an active role to support them. He's a scholar at heart, so he'll learn everything he can about what they want to achieve, out of genuine interest as well love. He'll ask questions, help plan required steps, and regularly check in with his lover's progress. He'll also make sure they have access to any materials or connections necessary. Being a keen diplomat and the leader of the most widespread Buddhist sect in Japan comes with some benefits. If the goals are dangerous to pursue, his partner will unfortunately have to contend with Kennyo wanting to create as many safety measures as possible.
Ultimately, since his lover's happiness is what's most important to him, he is willing to respect the boundaries of someone who wants more independence in pursuing their interests -- though truly dangerous pursuits will probably need a bit of compromise around safety checks.

Listne I love Levi but the man has a negative Charisma modifier at the beginning of the game. Nyx (MC) at the beginning hasnāt gotten the confidence yet to wear all the colorful clothes that she really wants.
How would Levi insult your not-normie MC? Ā Feel free to use the template below to make your own, and to tag me so that I can see your wonderful MCs! š Or just have Levi saying something sweet if you want.Ā š
āI have something special, just for you.ā
Very rough concept sketch for another form of Nightmare to use in my own stories (maybe! eventually!) -- I like writing him as speaking very eloquently in a cruel, condescending way, but itās a little undermined when he looks like our round snuggly boy Sans Undertale. š I just donāt find him scary in a hoodie and basketball shorts. He can be scary in the way he behaves, but... well, itās fun to play around with new ideas, too.
So I hc that while sometimes he chooses to look like Sans, specifically around people who know Sans because itās extremely unsettling to see a warped, goopy, tentacled version of someone you know and love (or to see a warped, goopy, tentacled version of yourself!), his default form borrows more from the body he stole/corrupted -- i.e., from the true Nightmare. Heās chosen to make himself intimidatingly tall, though, with unsettling proportions. He wears the robe open and is just naked bones underneath because people are often spooked by skeletal figures... heās SOL with skelefuckers, though, hahahaha~
Repeating my ArtFight comment more or less, but she looks gorgeous! This made me so happy, thank you so much!
revenge of Reika for Nyktoon!
Welcome back Nyk! Missed seeing you on my dash. Itās nice to see you and your art again and see that youāre doing well!
You're so sweet!! š„ŗ I feel a little awkward resurfacing after disappearing for so long without saying anything, so your words are very touching and reassuring for me, thank you!
