Degrees, radians, or "it's complicated"?
Flicker, why are your pants always falling down?
Would you steal undies?
Every worry that you're being disingenuous when you say someone is "Good at bullying" when you're ready to fold to just about anyone?
Actually, I’m glad you brought this up.
I dislike it when someone tells me I did a good job when I know it’s not true, so I make it a rule when I talk to only compliment folks on things I think are accurate. I value honesty and sincerity more than most other traits, and I think it’s really important that people know where I stand with them. If I say something about someone, I mean it. There are folks that I do not find bully me in a way that I like, and if I find they don’t, I will find other things to compliment them on. If I tell you you’re good at bullying, I believe it. It has nothing to do with me playing a nerdy fox on the Internet.
If anyone’s ever concerned I’m being disingenuous, please just ask me. I am being honest in my compliments and in my criticisms, always. While I believe there are good things about everyone, not everyone is good at bullying by my subjective opinion, and that’s okay! I suspect I’m not the perfect nerdy li’l fox for everyone who’s ever bullied me either. All we can do in this community is our best, and part of that I think is to be honest with each other when we think something’s wrong or not going in a preferred direction.
I hope I didn’t sound pretentious here. That wasn’t my intention. I’m just a fox with opinions, no better than anyone else.
Cracks knuckles Flaglole or locker?
If Flicker would have a weakness; What would it be? Take it how you will.
Hmm... I think I'll answer this in three parts: physically, mentally, and emotionally. Physically, Flicker is not very strong, and he's very small, even by nerdy fox standards. The poor guy is liable to just get overtaken by anyone fast enough to outpace him and strong enough to lift him up. He can project electricity from his paws, but it leaves him weakened and isn't strong enough to subdue anyone committed to catching up with him.
Emotionally, Flicker becomes overwhelmed and overstimulated easily. If you ask him to do multiple tasks or interrupt those tasks, he will find it difficult to get back on track. He's easily distracted by something piquing his interest, and he tends to shoot around like a bolt of lightning on different tangents. Making loud noises when he's trying to concentrate or getting him to feel multiple sensations at once are surefire ways to fry his brain.
Emotionally, Flicker's a sucker for anyone calling him cute, or adorable, or any variation thereof (cute little fox is his favourite though). If you approach him and point out his small stature or call him or any of his features cute, he's liable to get flustered and shut down. He also really likes it when you massage his ears or rump, and of course when you pick him up and cuddle him. He likes to be snippy and sarcastic, but he's actually a little softie that loves being cared for (very much an adult though).
And of course, EMPs.
What's Flicker's occupation? Does he have one?
Flicker, like me, is a university student. Currently, that means engineering, though his passion is actually climate science. He's in engineering primarily because it will be easier to find a job with a p.eng than it will be with an environmental science degree, but (depending on where I go with my life) that's subject to change. His occupation's going to swap depending on what I do. My true passion I think is climate research coupled with teaching others, so he'll likely either end up a professor of engineering, a professor of climate change and adaptation, or (to throw a real curveball in the mix) a professor of English literature and creative writing who writes stories about climate change. For now, though, he's struggling his way through calculus and offloading the copious amount of steam by getting his underwear shone off and his little body teased by anyone that wants to.
What's something that's funny to you and nobody else?
Good question! Really showing my nerd with this one. I’m a big math guy, so any self-explanatory math equation is really funny to me. For instance, there’s a physics equation that says horizontal velocity is equal to initial horizontal velocity. I had a student today ask me if he could use that equation to solve for horizontal velocity, which was basically him asking if he could prove that one equals one. I found it hilarious, but I bet most of you didn’t even finish reading this far.
Rank these undies by how much you like seeing guys in them:
- Boxers
- Briefs
- Boxer Briefs
- Trunks
- Bikinis
- String Bikinis
- Jocks
- Thongs
- Panties
- Diapers
- Anything else your heart desires!
Oof. You're making me think on this one. I don't think I can label them in a ranking system, so instead I'll describe my ideal scenario for each.
If the aim is for someone to be pantsed/otherwise humiliated, nothing does it nearly as well as briefs and panties, especially in public. Nearly the entire upper thigh is exposed, and they just look so dorky. Bonus points if they've got cute little cartoons on them or if they show just a bit of ass.
Bikinis and string bikinis I think go well when the guy is confident. Like, seeing someone not give a damn and strut their stuff is pretty fun.
Trunks and boxers are really cute for domestic things. Just going around the house doing chores or cooking. They're just intimate enough looking to be fun when one's doing housework. I don't know, they signify a level of romantic comfort that doesn't need to be sexual.
Boxer-briefs are great when one is cuddling with someone (trunks work for this too). They're compressed enough that you can kind of lay against someone and feel their nethers against you without having the desire to just yank them off. They're really nice for those soft, quiet scenes just before bed.
Jocks, thongs and diapers aren't my thing. Not shaming though! Just not something I'm into. If you are though, great!
And of course, you can't go wrong with wearing only a shirt. A slightly long shirt can go a long way to having your cute little furry rump showing when you get up to grab a snack, or having a nice view of the fluffy balls when one sits on the couch with their legs up.
I think that covered everything (though the subject matter didn't cover much)?
What's canon regular outerwear for Flicker?
That's a really good question. It depends. SFW Flicker hates clothing with a passion. Man would love nothing more to spend all day, every day in the fur. If he needs to wear clothes, I think it's typically a dark green hoodie with really thin yellow stripes that look like laser beams, and black jeans. This is what he'll wear for dealing with something serious.
Flicker the nerd I think is typically wearing black jeans and some kind of T-Shirt, probably plain black, and of course a variety of cartoon underwear. No shoes either way though.
What is something you refuse to spend money on?
