With all these emotions flying around I was wondering, what emotion do or would feed off of if you were a cubi.
Mine are:
Joy
Fear
Confusion
Doubt
And my evil personality's are:
Despair
Misery
Fear
Rage
There may be others, but I haven't discovered them yet.
Definitely anger ,which is where the familiar in my sig comes from - deliberately throwing off a certain person i hated back in high school with carefully crafted remarks was wonderfully refreshing... :mwaha
Joy. Joy, joy, joy. I'd be such a Jin clan member. :smile I think I'd also enjoy calmness, curiosity, warmth/comfort, and just a smattering of pride on the side.
I know what my least favorite emotional foods would be if I was a succubus; anger, panic, and fear. I hate feeling them, and I hate making people feel them. (Like I said, such a Jin clan member. xD)
Impishness =p I would love to be in Jin's clan though; joy would be a really great emotional affinity and I do love me some pastel colors.
As for what I would hate to feed on... I'd have to say arrogance. I can't stand arrogance, especially of the intellectual variety - you know the type; the ones who look down on the masses and think they're such hot stuff because they have very specialized knowledge of computers or math or what-not. Bleh! Pride kind of relates, though since Piflak's clan tends to pride themselves on art or music or what-not it's not quite the same thing as intellectual arrogance.

hmm, i am quite opposite in a way - i dislike empty arrogance , the kind exhibited by people who understand nothing yet are all haughty and pretentious and snobby, but arrogance or what when it is supported by actual skill - like with some chess grandmasters and others is all OK with me.
Me haz some Confusion, plz! :3
Courage, definitely, fear + strength of will. Plus I'd imagine it would have beneficial effects on my personality, encouraging me to help others overcome their fears and such.
Creativity, for the positive aspects.
Nervousness for the negative aspects.
Can you imagine how much fun a Cubi could have driving someone twitchy with odd sounds in the night and the like? =^-^=
Lets see.. Being piratical, and going on what I am most exposed to/feel myself.. It would have to be
Despair and Anger .. Because I work at Wal-Mart and Sadness/Loneliness Because I am alone and sad myself..
True joy would be like a big fat cake to me... hahha.
Hmm... Kinda hard to think of what.
Confusion most definitely.
Anger/Rage would hold true too.
I'd say apathy... but that's the lack of emotion really.
Contempt definitely! I hold lots of contempt.
Misery.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again.
Righteous Indignation!
I had the plans to start this thread myself, actually =o
Anyways, I'm guessing my affinity would be annoyance/irritation, and we have yet to see a clan that has affinity =/
That would be fear and wonder with a dash of confusion.
True story, I love smoking a cigarette at work in a dark room. when a colleague walks in i just can't resist scaring the bejezus out of them before they turn the lights on :)

Despair and Anger .. Because I work at Wal-Mart
Wow another Wal-Mart associate, but at my Wal-Mart the affinity is insanity and crazyness. If it can happen it's probably happened at my store.
I try to make people happy, though I'm not always successful at it, not by a long shot. That would be my preferred positive one.
However, from a writing point of view, fear is the emotion one I've had most fun writing, which is why it's Jakob's affinity. (Originally it was going to be just wonder, now it's both).
Apathy and Ignorance.
I don't know for sure, but it does so amuse me to watch others Rage at me. Guess mine is rage.

Yeah, I feel the same way whenever I stand out in the rain during winter wearing shorts and a tee while everyone's yelling at me to put on something warm. Why do I need to put something warm on when I get all warm and toasty feeding off the energy of them yelling at me. :mwaha
Appreciation and Confusion?
Preferably both at the same time.
If rainbow bubbles were an emotion... I'd say those. XD
But really, love! *Starts singing, Across the Universe Style.* Looooove, loooooove, loooooove!
Nothing makes me more satisfied in the universe than feeling love, and inciting love, and loving. So yeah. :)

I can definatly see a Fae like you making a response like that. :mowhappy I bet Quoar's clan get their emotional fill being around you. :hug
Confusion, definately. :I I love confusing people. :U I like joy too. Happiness is very nice to see. And love. :) Love is nice.
Sudden inspiration/insight/original thought, (those all have strong similarities in how they are implemented, so I'll treat them as a single emotion), tastiest if deep and profound, and mixed with enthusiasm. A bona fide mad scientist would probably be my dream dish, but art, or any environment where great learning or discovery is done, would work almost as well.
It would be awe for me.

I will often "Stalk" co-workers through the clothing department or other isles of our store in order to sneak up behind them to scare the bejezus out of them too.. Or walk silently up behind someone with the "shhhh!" finger over my mouth to scare someone in the middle of a conversation.
Hate.
I'd be very well-fed.
My secondary affinities would be Romance (or whatever you wanna call the feeling you get from being in a romantic situation) and Concern/Worry.
Hmm. Determination?
I'm not an especially determined person, but that's what always gets to me in stories and stuff -- the person who'll soldier on despite setbacks.
I'd have to say epic romance ... but not the lubby-dubby kinda romance, the more traditional and almost lost sense that can be inspired by these: First picture (http://art.ngfiles.com/images/39/kamikaye_starchasers.jpg). Second picture (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5b/Caspar_David_Friedrich_032.jpg). Long song (http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/197810). Short song (http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/186881) ... maybe I'm just a sucker for all things epic :P
oh, and fuzziness x3 Epic romance, and fuzziness x3

Could you please not use coloured text? It hurts my eyes. :<
( blue on black x| )
meep, sorry :X
on black? But to me, all the forums on this board have different colour schemes, and this one's purple to me o.o

True, but you can change that in your settings, still Blue on purple isn't nice either. Really, I would advice not using text colours at all. :)

It's nice on this shade of purple :<
I have no idea what the affinity would be called though, I don't know the english language well enough for that.
(yeah, I'm not a natively english speaking person - my mother language is Danish of all languages)
So, since I'm not sure what my emotions would be called, I'll try to explain what I mean.
My positive side is when I teach somebody/learn something, it can be the most unintelligble techno babble, doesn't matter, but if they are into it and listen to me - That is one of the most pleasant and satisfying feelings I know of. I once went for 3 days without ordinary food because I was on a roll. Managed 2 months of study in one week. And got top grades to boot.
My negative side on the other hand, is sort of the same, except ... imagine an executive meddling in a technical matter which he should keep his bloody nose out of - at that point I *love* grinding his nose into just how deep the shit goes and just how wrong he is. I get a sort of sadistic satisfaction from grinding someone into the ground intelectually. In fact, I can get downright nasty in such a situation. Ah well, I've only have had to do it twice, after that they stopped pestering me.
:)
My affinities would be joy, happiness, hope, calmness, and love, with a bit of curiosity and confusion. Since Fa'lina has no clan members, and Jin's don't leave the Academy, I'd either be in an as-yet-unmentioned clan with an affinity for happiness or calmness, or - ideally - in Clan Quoar.
I say ideally because the emotions I would not like the most are hate, malice, panic, despair, terror, etc. If I was in Clan Quoar, I wouldn't be going to the Academy (for whatever reason), and therefore wouldn't have to put up with any residue from certain classes. ;) You will note, however, that I did not list anger in there - people who use the above tend to make me angry, so~. The anger and rage, I can handle. ^^
(Yes, I know that we don't know about any clans revolving around happiness and calmness, and surely the ones already mentioned aren't the only ones for joy, hope, and love, but I work with what I can. ;P )
As a cubi, I'd have a natural affinity for emotion absorbtion (emotional sensitivity, extremely vulnerable to emotion jamming), though with a bias towards mental anguish, given my tendency to set myself up for such.
(and lacking substantial control over shapeshifting, due to shifting based on emotions, which keeps getting jammed)
Determination, aspiration, desperation, and realization.
Pain and hope..
Conflicting I suppose but for good reasons.. :)
eehhhhhh...I couldn't tell you my affinity....I have no idea
I've got a little of everything
though being a Dragon would likily make me enemy #1 to pretty much all but a few cubi anyway
I suppose frustration would suit me best. I've always enjoyed being stubborn and arguing for the sake of arguing, and apparently irritate others by not reacting when they're angry.

I have to say I might feed off sorrow on my dark side
But my I would feed on Joy when proud

Ooh.. Somone else who would rather be a dragon!
Confusion and doubt.
There's nothing I like more than when I manage to steer a conversation away from something and everyone's confused about how we got there. And then I make them doubt their own sanity. And then they walk off trying to figure all this out. They get a headache for about a week.
I love my life.
As for a positive emotion: Adoration.
Love is, in my opinion, over-rated as a powerful emotion to feed off.
Adoration is easier, much more commonplace and is open to a wide variety of interpretations.
Understanding/comprehension would definitely be my positive emotion. I love nothing more then learning something new, or teaching someone else something new. (Except fuzzy kitties. I love fuzzy kitties!)
Spite would be my negative emotion, with confusion coming in second. Spite makes everything better. Everything.

How is that conflicting? You beat people up so they're in "pain" and they "hope" you stop.
Mine would be apathy and inspiration. Just cause :P
Pain and anger for me, definitely... It's so easy to make people mad, yet so fun, and causing pain can lead to more anger... :mwaha
I wonder ... would incubi and succubi would feel right at home in a mr men book? oO
I could imagine a member of the Jin clan with Mr Happy and Little Miss Giggles chained up in the corner of the room ... both of them exhibiting inexplicable incessant grins on their faces, seemingly ignorant of the fact that they're being held prisoner for the sole and single purpose of nourishing a creature that supposedly consumes peoples' dreams and steals their souls. :3
:)
My favorite would have to be pride, with happiness and greed coming up in second and third respectively; 'cause I'm crazy like that.
Joy would have to be my least favorite, followed by anger. The first, because it is ephemeral in my experience, and once its gone you feel terrible by comparison. The second because it is blinding in most cases, leaving you open for a suckerpunch.
I'd say it would either have to be hope or love.
Pain, Confusion and Love. (In that order)
Sums me up pretty well. :mowhappy
Mine would probably be happiness, confusion, and love.
i've got some idea what my affinity is, hard to put my finger on exactly -what- however.
I guess mine would be logic and confusion.
People who aren't confused haven't been looking at things logically. You don't know anything until you realize that you don't know anything.

"Logic" is an interesting one, but strangely, I don't really think of it as an emotion. I don't ever really
feel logical - I just have clear patterns of thought that seem like they can't really be argued against from any other angle. I usually just feel sure. But that's a unique one, either way. :D
<--Most assuredly despair, anger and pain; my life is full of all three lately and yet I still seem to thrive....
But I also find much pleasure in hope and love as well; I've always been a romantic at heart :hug
Panic, surprise, and follow it up with a little joy and relief. Nom nom. :D
Awesome. Most definitely. :D
Awesomesauce. =^-^=
Lust.
Pride and pain, with a good amount of determination for my positives. I always get hyped up with my boxing matches. As for a negative, I would have to say Anger and Rage. It reminds me of a match I had with this one cocky dude and... well how about a visual example...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG5yKvU0YyI&feature=PlayList&p=2FCB7628DDDF0503&playnext_from=PL&index=8&playnext=2
I always end up going overboard when I'm angry. One time I actually ended up punching my trainer because I lost a match... I HATE losing!! When I ever lose to somebody, I always make sure that in the next fight, they will get the beating of a lifetime! I NEVER lose!!!
...I early found Anacreon rhymes,
were almost passionate sometimes-
And by strange alchemy of brain,
His pleasures always turned to pain-
His naiveté to wild desire-
His wit to love - his wine to fire-
And so, being young and dipt in folly,
I fell in love with melancholy...

The AA scheme
doth drive my mind
and thoughts, it seems,
to those assigned.
As an interesting sickly shade of madness.
However strange
it may seem
to gravely cringe
at poor schemes,
my heart and vessels still are host to sadness. :<
Lets see... Confusion definitely, with fear on the side. Some joy in there as well...
Upon thinking about it...
What ever emotion this poem invokes, or represents
From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were — I have not seen
As others saw — I could not bring
My passions from a common spring —
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow — I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone —
And all I lov'd — I lov'd alone —
Mine would have to be joy, love, and pride!
If there was a work-a-holic one, I'd be definitely part of that one. :3
shame
confusion followed by understanding
Methinks that I'd have to go with confusion. Yup. That's it. Confusion, Joy, and Fear.
Only by understanding the situation can you discover how really confusing it is.
Love, Joy, Confusion, Hope and Determination. Joy would be my favorite out of those though.
