For all of their feared traits, there’s no better person to have on your side, and in your corner, because Scorpios are resolutely protective and loyal to those they love. If you’re going to come at them or theirs… you’d better not miss. They never forget or forgive, they just DON’T, they’re ice cold that way. And they will wait a long-ass time to get you back, but get you back they will.

Nothing fazes Scorpio. The more sick/twisted/gory/disturbing it is, the more they need to look. Anything unsolved, mysterious or hidden also draws them like moths to a flame. Some end up embroiled in dark and dangerous lifestyles, some flirt with the occult, some turn this courage into something heroic - doing roles ands jobs the rest of us would run away from.

If they’re into you then they’re into you, and they’ll want to know everything you do/think/believe etc (you will NOT be allowed that same access to their private world, however). They love sex, they’re very physical, they don’t do ‘casual’, they’re super-intense. Sometimes this fierce love can tip over into something more controlling, but it comes from a place of wanting to protect you, of thinking they know better, of believing you’re too precious a kitten to be let loose in the world. Sometimes it’s magical… sometimes it can get a bit much.

They’re relentless, seriously. Give a Scorpio a meaningful and positive purpose and they could change the world - there’s no stopping them. Self-doubt, recriminations, a lack of confidence… this is alien to them. They know what they want and they believe they’re entitled to get it. Faced with problems, their razor-sharp intellect can create flexible and out-there solutions and get-arounds. Their charm can win over enemies (though they’ll have noted them down in their ‘Grudge Book’ for later… revenge is best served cold).
