All your ocs are so damn coolššdon't be surprised when I one day just swallow all of them in one biteāā āæā ā
Francis liking prodigies made me think if he'll like my oc Lennox who's the text definition of a charming, hardworking prodigy. Then at the same time there's also my other oc yusrif who lies easily as he breaths.
Francis is definitely the campus crush, he's so cool and pretty and smart and (ā ā§ā ā½ā ā¦ā )
NOOO DON'T EAT THEM </3
If Lennox has a talent—or several—that he not only excels at but also actively works to improve, then Francis would definitely like him. Even more so if that talent happens to be musical.
For Francis, what sets someone apart from being ājust a prodigyā to being truly exceptional is passion. A prodigy may be naturally gifted, but if they havenāt had to work for their skills, they often lack real interest in their craft. The same goes for people who do things simply because they have to—not because they care. Francis admires those who are genuinely passionate and dedicated, the ones who strive to get better no matter how skilled they already are.
Their dynamic would also depend on how they interact. If Lennox can handle Francisās bluntness and deadpan remarks, theyāre far more likely to get along. And if Lennox fires back with clever comebacks of his own, Francis would enjoy the exchange.
Compliments wonāt get you far with Francis—especially about his playing. He hears plenty of them after competitions and recitals, so they tend to feel shallow. He knows when he didnāt play his best, and if someone tells him it was great anyway, heāll likely tune out any future praise. The kind of feedback he values comes from people who can pinpoint exactly where he was too loud, too soft, or came in early. Thatās why he takes praise from Gabriel seriously, as he has has perfect pitch and an excellent sense of rhythm and why he listens to Yujinās critiques, since thereās a 9 out of 10 chance Yujin knows the piece just as well as he does.
As for Yusrif, Francis wouldnāt instantly dislike him—it depends on how far Yusrif takes his lies. If theyāre just harmless white lies, Francis would be annoyed at most. But if Yusrif lies with malicious intent, then Francis would absolutely despise him.
