Tellonym Round Up: Backlog 12

What are the rfa boys favorite movie genres?

Jack - action/superhero movies

Derek - comedy/action movies

Will - classic films like Casablanca

Alex - indie films, especially ones on the splashy, artistic side

Emerson - solid 80s/90s action and action/romance

Brian - sports movies and a soft spot for romcoms,

Linus - mysteries

Jim - animated films, like Into the Spiderverse

How would the RFA guys react if someone else (not one of the guys) starts flirting with the Listener?

They’d keep a sharp eye on the situation, see if she looks uncomfortable at any point. If so, they would interrupt.

In Rfa, what would the characters do if the listener wanted to do their hair?(maybe like cutting a little of it, or do it to keeps their hair from falling apart during the day)

I think they’d mostly be agreeable, though Derek would be the most reluctant, and Will doesn’t have a ton of hair.

Hello, I don't know if its asked already. Do you think the RFA boys will be successfully put makeup on Listener like those boyfriend puts makeup on their girlfriend challenge?

Jack would start to do it and then stop, becoming too emotional. Derek would complain for a while, eventually give in, and have his nose to a YouTube instructional video while he attempted it. Will would probably read many books and watch many videos before writing out a detailed plan, perhaps secretly practicing on himself first being doing it. Alex would do your makeup and then his flawlessly. Emerson would probably overdo a bit, too used to doing it for younger kids. Brian would be game and probably do an okay job. Jim would be eager and try some more advanced techniques on you. Linus would be super nervous, but he’d do it to the best of his ability to make you happy.

How would the boys react if the listener tried hugging them?

They would all hug back. Derek might grumble about it a bit.

In RFA, what will the RFA boys do if Listener asked them if she let her do some makeup on them (like a makeup challenge)

Hm. I think that Jack, Linus, Alex, Jim, and Emerson would do so willingly. Brian would take some convincing. Derek would take a LOT of convincing. I don’t know that Will would say yes.

How would the boys react to listener laying her head on their lap? :D

Jack, Brian, Jim, Emerson, and Alex would all stroke your hair while you fall asleep. Linus would do the same with some flustering first. Derek and Will would both freeze up and probably not move until you did.

What are the rfa boys favorite class subjects?

Jack - history

Derek - physics

Will - philosophy

Alex - music

Emerson - English

Brian - psychology

Jim - art

Linus - biology

How would the ‘Rescued from Alien’ boys/ Ms President react to playing Horror games (Before and after the whole, ‘world being invaded by an alien species’ thing)?

I think they’d all be fine with it. Jack might get a little bit edgy afterwards, especially if it’s gory. Jim might be jumpy during. I think Linus would have a hard time.

How would the boys react to listener kissing their cheek?

Jack, Brian, Jim, and Alex would all kiss you back in return. Linus would dissolve into flustered noises, blushing madly. Derek would raise an eyebrow and then deny the fact that he’s blushing. Will would stutter slightly and awkwardly thank you.

How would the boys react to the listener trying to hold their hand?

Emerson would just do it automatically. Jack, Brian, Jim, and Alex would smile at you and then kiss your hand. Derek and Will would stiffen up a bit and then gradually relax. Linus would get all flustered but not let go.

Halloween is around the corner. What will the RFA boys plus the President do on Halloween, costumes they'll be wearing (be it a theme or not) and how will they spend their time with Listener?

Hm. I can see Alex or maybe the listener throwing a Halloween party. I’m not sure about costumes though. Except maybe Linus comes dressed as a puppy

How would the boys react if the listener blamed herself for making Will die (even though it wasn't her fault)?

They would comfort her and tell her it wasn’t her fault. Derek would add, “If it’s anyone’s fault, it’s mine.” At which point I hope the listener would reassure him that he had little choice.

What are the rfa bogs favorite alcoholic drinks?

I’m not sure

In Rfa does the listener have siblings? I mean in part 2, We were told we was the 'first daughter'. oh and will we have new abilities in part 3?

On the second question, you’ll have to wait and see. As for the other question, the listener is an only child, at least in my mind. The “first daughter” is an American term meaning daughter of the President. Like how the president’s wife is the First Lady. The president’s family is referred to as the First Family. A little silly when you actually sit and think about it 😅

How old are the rfa characters?

I don’t have specific numbers written down. Let’s say mid to late 20s for all the guys except Emerson and President (40s), Linus (early 20s), and Will (late 30s)

Do any of the rfa boys have tattoos and if yes what are they of?

Oh wow. I hadn’t thought about it. There’s SO many possibilities. I’m literally not sure. It’s kind of the middle of the night, so no immediately super cool ideas are popping up 😶

UPDATE: The ones revealed so far: Jim has a gear with wings, Brian has a mermaid, and Jack has a bear.

In rfa what is your favorite nickname that the guys have for the listener?

Ooh tough one. Darlin’ and sweetheart.

Which are your favorite scenes from Rfa? (I'm asking because I might draw it)

When the listener passes out on Jim in part one. Actually, it’d be lovely to see when we have to leave Jack and go to Brian. Just cuddled in Jack’s lap as Brian kneels in front of her, maybe Derek and Will hovering in the background. From part 2, I like the bit after team 2 gets attacked, actually 2 parts here. One is when Brian has to pull Jack back from running after them. And then when they go back to the Listener and all comfort her together with Jim and Linus

Is Linus a doctor?

No he’s a medic/EMT

How would the boys react if they snapped at the listener and she flinched?

Immediately apologize and comfort.

Whats the rfa boys kill count?

I keep trying to answer this and keep getting interrupted. Okay. They kill 1-2 in the fight outside the firehouse. Let’s estimate and say 12 in the tunnel. Maybe two more when the elevator dropped, and and then one more that Jim, Brian, and Jack killed. So … 17ish

EDIT TO ADD: Who knows how many died when the ship started blowing up, but Jim, Jack, and Brian did kill one more on the ship. They were going to shove him in the escape pod, but they were interrupted.

In rfa Alex says "hmm...that scar on her shoulder was it like that when she came to you" how did Alex see the scar was the hospital gown sleevless or was she just in her regular clothes??

I hadn’t really thought about it! Good catch. Perhaps the sleeve was already rolled up for another reason

If the listener had a folklorico dress and started dancing how would the boys react?

They’d be delighted.

What would the rfa boys do after finding out your addicted to drugs?

Fanfiiiiiic. Also don’t do drugs.

What are the rfa boys favorite cuddle positions?

Spooning (with them as the big spoon): Jack, Jim, and Linus though he’s just as happy being the little spoon.

Them on their back with you cuddling into their chest: Derek, Will, Emerson, Brian. Face to face, arms wrapped around each other: Alex.

Hello, I have a question that just got in my mind when I listened back to rfa (still good as ever) but was agent sharp the one that president Carter told to let the guys see her daughter? (In the end of rfa 1)

Yes! Hence why Jim theorizes that their relationship has improved 😅

What would the boys do if the listener wore a short (really short) dress?

I won’t answer this directly but instead quote one of my favorite Star Trek books by Peter David: Q-in-law. “What’s keeping that dress on? 

“The eyes of every man in this room.”

What were the rfa boys like in high-school?

Hmm. I think that’s more of a fanfic zone.

What would the rfa boys say after you come in first at a track meet?

They would all be very excited. This also sounds like a fantastic fanfic idea. Ijs

You probably haven't given it much thought. But do the RFA characters have favorite songs?

No idea. Fanfic zone! What do you guys think?

Why did the rfa boys decide to do their jobs and  not ant other job?

Well, that gets into each of their backstories, which I’m not sure I’m ready to reveal yet. None of them have immediate family in the service. Two of them chose it for financial reasons.

UPDATED TO ADD: Check out the character profiles!

Since I don't pay attention that much and have a huge problem with ADHD in rfa part 2 did we hold any hands and if so who?

I think it was more hugging this time than hand-holding.

If the listener ran to the boys to hug them but completely missed and slammed into stuff that are metal how would they react?

They’d make sure she was okay first and then probably have a little chuckle. Maybe offer to put her in bubble wrap.

If the rfa boys could travel anywhere they wanted for a week where would they each take the listener?

Hmm. I’m not sure.

In part 2 when the Jim says "so she's changing?" The listener I suppose runs and Linus stops her. Why did she run did she want to get to her mother? Or get away from them not to hurt them or something else happened?

She was freaking out about what’s happening to her and was afraid the guys would pull away from her. That they would be scared or disgusted by her. So she distanced herself so she wouldn’t have to see/hear it.

Do any of the rfa boys play sports. If yes what do they play?

Uh, let me look at my notes. Some of them do. Will enjoys American football. Brian plays baseball and basketball. Those are the only ones I had decided on. So, the rest are wide open!

If the rfa boys caught the listener sneaking out to go on a mission to hunt the aliens and kill them by herself how would they react?

They would lightly scold her for trying to go alone and then bring her back, so they could work on a plan together.

What are the rfa boys favorite type of coffee?

Not a coffee person. No idea. Thoughts?

What would the rfa boys do if the listener stole their gun to do something?

I mean, I'm sure her mother has trained her how to use it. They'd be startled but support her if necessary.

In part 2 jack yells at the listener bc she tried jumping was he scared that she was gonna die or just didn't want her to do it? And was the gap too big for her to jump over it?

The gap was indeed far too big, and most likely, she would’ve died, falling down many floors. Yes, Jack was afraid she would die. I’ve also heard that sometimes speaking with someone in crisis sharply helps snap them out of it.

In part 2 I suppose the listener faints in Jim's arms again? Does he lay her down on the ground or does he sit down and lay her down on his lap or is there another way he did that?

She kinda faints right in front of Brian, and he and Jim catch her and lower her to the ground.

How would the rfa boys react if the listener inhaled helium?

Sounds like a good fanfic idea!

What are the rfa boys religions? Sorry if this is weird

No it’s fine to ask. I’m not religious myself, so I don’t have strong opinions on this. I’m fine leaving it open for you guys to fill in in your own minds. With one exception: Will was raised Mormon. I don’t know that he’s still practicing actively by the time we meet him, given the profuse profanity lol.

Since the rfa boys do almost the hard work so they have muscles or abs?(this sounds so weird I'm sorry 💀)

I think I get what you mean? All the military guys would, I imagine? Their jobs are pretty intense. I would guess that Alex is very fit, maybe not super muscled. And I’d ask Ed for the last one.

In part 2 Emerson at the end says "all of us for you? No way. Your mother's right. Get out of here." Did he tell her because he didn't want to get her hurt or they could've did it by themselves?

First one. He didn’t want her to get hurt or captured again by the aliens. He was ready to lay down his life to help protect her.

How would rfa boys react to a rando kissing listener and trying to take her away to a bad place?

If she was unwilling, they'd rush in to rescue, protect, and comfort.
