coldsong1. What never fails to make them smile
His children having fun, learning something new, or generally being little lunatics in such a way that he's not worried they'll immediately injure themselves.
2. What gives them goosebumps
Fingernails or something cold gently run along the Jotun ridges on his skin.
3. Do they like to sing
Yes. He's slightly more likely to sing in femme-form, including kulning, but will strike up a tune in any shape.
4. Do they snore
Very rarely, usually only during daytime naps.
5. What do they do to comfort themselves
Shapeshifts into animal form, whichever one feels right at the moment. Has also been known to comfort-eat high fat desserts and dairy products.
6. Best way to make them fall asleep
Let's go with the best non-X-rated way, which would be a cool bath, then quietly reading to him. Bonus points if it's snowing outside.
7. Favorite childhood toy
Mostly puzzles and board games like Hnefatafl, but he did have a number of anthropomorphic animal figures made of carved wood, leather, and wool, some fancier than others. He still remembers the names of most of them, but the squirrel he named after Ratatoskr was his favorite.
8. Where do they blush (ears, cheeks, nose etc.)
Beginning at the ears, moves down the neck first, then to the cheeks and nose, and if you're really lucky, down to the upper chest.
9. Do they win snowball fights
D-does...the Frost Giant win snowball fights? Haha! YES.
10. Do they win pillow fights
Yes, but only by fighting dirty.
11. Do they win tickle fights
Almost never.
12. Favorite game to play
Two Truths and a Lie, Hide and Seek, Hnefatafl, assorted mind games.
13. Best way to cheer them up
Ice cream is surprisingly effective. Telling him he's appreciated for some specific talent or personal quality is his love language.
14. Do they cry at sad stories
Sometimes, but honestly he's more likely to get angry about how the people in the story did something stupid to make the ending sad.
15. How are they with kids
Initially, he was pretty mediocre with them, in that his basic M.O. was to treat them like small adults that might cry if he fucked up. Now that he's had the opportunity to interact with them more, he's pretty good with them, his own and others.
16. What never fails to make them laugh
Nostalgic stories of him and Thor being dumb kids.
17. Favorite animal
Snake. Close contenders include: horses, foxes, cats, wolves, and birds that aren't ravens. Dinosaurs are good, too.
18. Favorite time of year
The very start of Winter.
19. Favorite holiday
Winter Solstice, and the nights of the Wild Hunt.
20. Favorite snack
Unsalted butter with honey and cinnamon poured over it. Favorite socially acceptable snacks include ice cream, coffee, tea, strawberries with chocolate and/or cream, and for some reason he's partial to Midgardian snacks that include that strange nuclear orange 'cheez' dust, like cheetos.
21. Do they like sweets
Yes!
22. Favorite snuggle position
The little spoon. Also, curled up with head and shoulders in someone's lap.
23. Are they a blanket hog
More the opposite. Likes to have his head and sometimes shoulders covered, but will frequently kick the blanket off of his legs on up to above the waist.
24. Are they afraid of bugs
Afraid, no. Sometimes a little grossed out by roaches or flies. Otherwise, he either likes them or is indifferent. Does very much like spiders, though, and he has a spider form, but he doesn't take it as often as many of the others because it's very tiny and comparatively delicate.
25. How difficult is it to get them out of bed
Not very. He'll complain loudly if it's not his own idea, but he wakes fast and moves fast once he's up.
26. Are they good at video games
As of yet, no, but if given the impetus to learn he'd be a terror.
27. Any pets
Not yet, but probably in the near future.
28. Can they keep that houseplant alive
Honestly, probably not, unless it's cold hardy and from an arid region. He will forget it exists for long stretches of time.
29. Do they like to dance
Very much so, both to show off and with a partner.
30. Favorite funny memory
"If you even think about betraying Thor..."
"You'll...kill me? Evidently, there will be a line."
31. Favorite childhood memory
Making forts with Thor under the rosebushes in Frigga's garden, and pretending the fallen petals were the blood of their enemies.
32. Favorite story to tell
This one's pretty good: Bilgesnipe mishap with Thor.
33. Most embarrassing memory
Probably being flung around by the Hulk. Might have to consider this one further!
34. Do they collect anything
People he's disappointed infinity stones If he's going to hoard anything, it'll be books and knowledge. Sometimes magical artifacts.
35. What makes them happy to think about
Nature, the Sacred, his children, peaceful moments with loved ones, well-crafted stories, extremely clever tricks, satisfying vengeance, etc.
