this is a fun one :) thank you for the prompt!
vialae- mimosas, stupid fancy cocktails, straight vodka, eventually sparkling water (watermelon/lime). briefly margs
akidía- the most overpriced stupid bottled water you can think of, black coffee
izeeli- bpd monster. you know the one.
sophie- every alcoholic beverage under the sun, emphasis on vodka & tequila based cocktails

andddd percy is a bubble tea guy, to me. probably fruit teas (think strawberry, mango, never milk), iced, whatever popping jellies are the cutest, 100% sweetness. sugar fiend of my heart.

i don’t really have answers for anybody else! i liked this ask a lot tho 🫶

i agree with this, and...i already have this for AU reasons. i'm going to be completely honest with you: this reveal is horrible. it's awful. it is really and truly bad, in a way that i wouldn't wish upon my most psychologically damaging foes. this may very well be the most problematic narrative choice that i have ever made.

despite the many retcons and rewrites that have happened since it was initially decided, i cannot truly pull away from the vile, terrible reality that vialae contin was born in new jersey.

on a lighter note, everyone else in the menagerie hasn't been as damned as my favorite maladjusted scientist. daphne's from rural tennessee, because i miss that area, and yorsha and sonboy are from SE michigan. sedona and fluorz are from...sedona. i actually haven't been there, but i would like to, someday. akidía is from chelsea (fuck man. i miss manhattan), and izeeli is from LA.

i've thought about this a little bit too much. there's like, other stuff for other guys, but those are most of the big ones!

WARNING I RAMBLE A LOT HERE BUT!!! vialae is weirdly enthusiastic about every kind of marine animal, ever. when she says that she doesn't have a favorite, it isn't like, some weird indecisiveness on her end--she genuinely appreciates everything out there! all things considered, her blatant adoration of marine flora and fauna is really sweet, especially when you remember that she is a massive hater in practically every other part of her life.

that being said, here's a quick rundown of some that she really, REALLY likes:

• cnidaria! all of them!
• rays (yes. it's because of That Stingray). the way they swim is a very nice visual stim :)
• kind of stretch, but if we're including marine birds, i've always thought that she would really appreciate albatrosses. fucking love those things
• manatee :)
• beluga (raffi)
• sea otters :)

she would've loved the ocean, if it wasn't uh. like that. a big part of her deal with her career is trying to explicitly figure out a way to make the ocean habitable again, and it's been one of those big, unobtainable in her lifetime goals that she only was really able to start working on once she got entangled with the corporeasphere 2 project. the love of the ocean/sea/etc was something that started early on for her, though. her first place after graduating was a flooded digital library near the coast, and it served as the starting point for her interest in the field :')

i was actually trying to figure this out in a call last night, because the idea of percy in a setting that isn't the treacher sea is an interesting scenario to process, let alone actualize. my freak, operating free of the constraints of our beloved ttrpg that i kind of use as a way to macrodose all of my personality disorder symptoms and latent gender dysphoria by proxy of playing an irritating and deceptive twink who desperately is clawing at the mere concept of belonging? egads! what the fuck!

anyway, in my heart of hearts i know that (a modern, living in 2020s) percy would have two main forms of social interaction with the outside world:
1: bookblr/"dark academia" type blogging. he canonically enjoys YA fiction, so like, yeah, a 22 year old curating an aesthetic blog that also makes mood/stimboard posts with quotes from like, percy jackson or some shit checks out. does he like twilight? yeah, probably. i actually don't know what YA fiction is relevant anymore.
2: grindr. consulted with a friend on this one like, last week, actually! percy uses it with the intention of "no strings attached" style encounters, but winds up falling for someone and then spends the next six to eight months in some kind of quiet favorite person hell where he loops Flashdance...What a Feeling - Radiot Edit while sitting in his shower fully clothed. you know how it is.

it's a solid split between decorative metalworking and convincing people that everything they do--especially in a negative context!--is because of deep, internal desire that they must repent for. running a death cult that masquerades as an artist collective is kind of her Whole Thing, and she really likes helping people "recognize their full potential".
what's really scary about her to me personally is that she genuinely and fully believes that what she's doing is beneficial to others. none of it is to stroke her ego or make her feel good about herself. she just wants people to be "better", and that kind of blind conviction and inability to take in other perspectives that might challenge her worldview is something that frightens me!

so i initially misread this and started writing this lengthy wall of text about my actual takes on headcanons, metanarratives, and what constitutes as a healthy relationship with media, which eventually would end with a semi-joking "vriska has [REDACTED]". however, that was several hours ago, and past me has been thoroughly defeated by the perils of my workplace, so i think i'm just going to go with "vriska really likes linkin park". is it supplemented by canon? not really. does it have any meaningful influence on the plot? no. but is it funny? only very mildly, but like, i don't really have it in me to publish an essay on vriska right now. she makes me too sad.
