figure 1: an imp mating dive. you'll only see this between older bonded pairs because of the immense trust and coordination necessary to make sure they both finish and separate before reaching the ground. it's also a way to show off how good you are at flying, so an audience is all but required.
figure 2: females in heat. female imps engage in sexual activity year-round as part of their dominance structure, but they're only fertile at particular times, during which they are especially solicitous toward the males they like. they'll adopt submissive postures and fan their tails toward themselves to give off that irresistible 'come fuck me' scent. it's the only time of year where they don't run roughshod over their males.
figure 3: breeding. and also some bonded cuddling in their wings. imps can purr.
figure 4: conceptualizing whether imps wear anything. their wings make top coverings difficult, and given they're always fucking they wouldn't bother covering up the bottom (much like goblins). i'm not actually sure i like them wearing jewelry, though admittedly it'd help a lot toward individualism. still undecided in this area!

Overly obsessed with imps? Imp-possible.

Seconding this!! Maybe if they get bracelets or necklaces as spoils from trespassers they’ve scared off, they could put it around their horns or smth?? :0

hm! not a bad idea. my main hesitation would be accidentally getting too close to irl body painting traditions, but it's something i'll think about

Oh the topic of clothing- what about like, body paint? Easy to mischievously steal and easy to create (all you really is some kind of material, destruction, some spit [or yknow, a fluid] and a go-get-'em attitude), doesn't get in the way of fucking, touch based bonding activity, and can be used to draw the attention toward their important bits and make those important bits stand out in the sea of imp genitals. Would also leave rocks and gems to the dwarves? Sorry if this is too much my neurons just started having a party 😅

i like the idea of jewellery, you could have them make it out of polished bones and claws from conquests or like, trophies from rich travellers they've harassed.
