EDIT:

Like the moron I am I forgot the lines on Zaat's cloak, so I added that and went into the text to clean it up some.

Don't worry about Spoilers to Weaver Song below! While this does give more insight into their future relationship with one another, no plot points are revealed.

The next page of Weaver Song will be out next week, but in the mean time I wanted to do this random little meme I found. I think I'll even use a few other WS characters later on for this meme too! But because these two are the main one of the comic, well I picked them first.

I also changed the 'Car' line because...unless you count Stags or Tram Stations there aren't really any cars to speak of in Hallownest lol.

Horny Level:

Zaat is way more into it than Alira is, but he has to hold himself back a lot. As physically affectionate as he is, of course he would never actually force his mate to do anything she didn't want. He may pout and tease from time to time, but ultimately will accept no hanky-panky as an answer. Alira herself is give-or-take most of the time. When she's in the mood, she's willing, but when she's not she'd rather sleep. XD

Awkwardness Level:

Though Alira is more of an extrovert than Zaat is, when it comes to the knitty-gritty world of wordplay, she's way more awkward at holding a conversation. Zaat has spent much of his time hunting and spying on various insects before and after the infection, not to mention the years he spent in Weaver's Den boosted his confidence. On more than one occasion he's had to use his silver tongue to get out of dangerous situations.

Jealousy Level:

Zaat's jealousy is mixed with his overprotective nature for his mate. While he wouldn't keep Alira from of course speaking with others, if another insect starts to flirt with her hard he immediately goes into 'no touchy' mode until Alira calms him down. She also be kind of jealous when it comes to Zaat, mostly because she never thought she'd find a mate like him and doesn't want to lose him to someone else. No matter how many compliments she gets, she's always felt self-conscious and worried that someone better would come along. Thankfully with time, their mutual jealousy does decrease as they trust one another more.

--

Big Spoon-Little Spoon:

This is self explanatory. Because of his body structure as a spider, Zaat literally can't be the small spoon without some awkward positioning and straddling. Now this is a routine they've just settled into. Alira doesn't mind it because she feels more protected at night, though she would never admit that except to him.

Lends Clothes-Borrows Clothes:

Because insects in Hallownest only use clothing for status, neither of them care much given that they aren't of high nobility. Zaat is more generous though because he can literately make whatever garment he wants thanks to his silk. Alira likes to dress up and looks nice, but isn't above sharing if someone needs it more than her.

Doesn't Use Pet Names-Uses Pet Names:

Alira is okay with using pet names here and there, at least in private. However, she gets very flustered when her mate just adores using all sorts of flattery and knick names on her. He doesn't care who sees or hears, he MUST see his adorable little butterfly turn red and fluff herself into a puffball of embarrassment.

Introverted-Extroverted:

Zaat has had barely any social interaction since he left Weaver's Den, at least with those that weren't infected, so he prefers to keep to himself. Besides, he's cautious and new insects are always potential threats or food, so he doesn't just go up and act chummy with them. Not until he's sized them up and decided on what to do. Alira isn't much of a social butterfly as she mostly just interacts with the Troupe, but she had to learn to have some sort of stage presence given she's a performer in a traveling circus.

Affection through Words-Affection through Actions:

Alira prefers using compliments on her husband because she knows he doesn't get many of them. Zaat however prefers being affectionate with plenty of kisses, hugs, and chitin massages. He playfully disrespects the personal boundaries of those that catch his interest, but she's learned to love it despite getting so embarrassed with him. Zaat isn't very shabby with his wordplay either, because he's not shy about dishing out some much needed flattery.

Confesses First-Waits for Confession:

Because Zaat's far more forward when it comes to affection than Alira is, he'd definitely be the first to say something about a love confession if it was brought up. He just doesn't because he never believed a butterfly of all things would be interested in him at all. He's not optimistic, he's pragmatic. Alira kind of likes that though. It makes up for her stubborn unwillingness to admit when someone's caught her eye, too embarrassed to say anything unless cornered.

Screams about the Bugs-Squashes Bugs with a Shoe:

Also self explanatory. Zaat is a predator species and hunts insects, infected or not, regularly. He has to do this in order to survive because he's a carnivore and can't just sustain himself on plants, fruits, or flower nectar. Despite this, he hasn't survived on his own for years by being reckless. Being half-Weaver Spider, he prefers to hunt with traps and cleverness rather than a straight forward approach. He also knows when to pick his fights, facing a target when he sees he has a chance and running if it means living another day. Alira is no coward and will fight or even kill to protect herself, no matter how scared she is on the inside. Unfortunately, being an insect without any natural defenses means she ends up fleeing most of the time.

Stubborn-Reasonable:

Alira is extremely stubborn when it comes to things she wants and what she believes in. Heck, her determination to discover more about her past despite the overwhelming risk is what started her long journey with Zaat in the first place. Zaat however can be reasonable for a price, even with potential food if they're clever enough. Forget trying to bribe him with geo though. Zaat prefers new information or something shiny to peek his interest. He's so insanely bored and after all his years alone is just going through the motions. Break his tedium and he might just let you live, or even become more than that. Life in the dead kingdom is just so exhausting for everyone, so getting him out of that muck makes him way more agreeable.

Can't Cook for Shit-Cooks Dinner:

Zaat webs, bites, drains insects of their fluids so he has no need to cook. Besides, with how dangerous Hallownest can be it's often too risky to drag prey back to his nest alive, so he needs to eat and run a majority of the time. That means no getting fancy with the spices! He can help prepare food with some well placed slicing if it's requested of him, but that's about it. Alira wont reject prepared food so long as it's obviously not consisting of bug flesh. Still, she primarily sustains herself on flower nectar, so she doesn't see the need to dressing it all up. Some of the snobbier butterflies or moths will go all out, making pretentious concoctions of the stuff, but she's simple. So long as the flowers are sweet and fresh, she's sated. Her favorites are honeysuckles and roses.

Dislikes PDA-Loves PDA:

Like with Pet Names, Alira doesn't mind being physically affectionate with Zaat, especially when they're both needy after a long day. Still, her awkwardness level spikes to a hilarious degree when Zaat sneaks up behind her and literally sweeps her off her feet. Especially when he does this in front of anyone else! He will sometimes purposely wait until she's with company to do it too for the sole purpose of getting her all red and puffed up. Her indignant reactions are just too irresistible to him, doubled by the fact they both know underneath it all Alira loves his adoration. The first few times Alira was the aggressor, though, it caught Zaat off guard and it was HIS turn to become all red and flustered just because he's so used to being in control. He's not great at taking his own medicine.

Overprotective-Chill Going:

Zaat is fiercely protective of his wife, tying into his jealousy too. Though one can chalk this up to instinct with how Weavers are, it's mostly due to a very painful past experience. He wants to keep her safe from harm now that he's allowed himself to love and be committed to someone. Alira is protective of him as well, though less so because he's far more equipped to fight the enemy than she is. She thinks his desire to look after her is sweet, but there are times she has to reel him in when he's becoming smothering. Make no mistake, because she can be just as vengeful if anyone lays a hand on him.

Has more Relationship Experience-Has NO Relationship Experience:

Zaat has had a few insects or arachnids he's been interested in here and there through his years of exploration, but nothing really got that serious beyond acquaintanceship. One companion of his was at most a one-sided crush, but until he met Alira he was pretty clueless about being in a real relationship. Unlike Zaat, Alira has lived her whole life in the Grimm Troupe with just them to interact with other than the occasional fan. Even if her crush on Master Grimm was an obvious one, it was clearly unrequited love and hero worship at that. This has made her even more woefully inexperienced than Zaat.
