the tl;cr meme

[leicesters]

the tl;dr character relationships meme

It's exactly what it sounds like! tl;dr about your character and their current relationships with others in game, or use it as a sounding board to talk about how potential cr might go down in future.

steps:
1. leave a toplevel with your character's name
2. comment to others' toplevels with the character relationship(s) you'd like them to tl;dr about
3. reply to their response with your own characters' thoughts on the cr!
4. gush/commiserate/poke fun at/meme on all our dumb characters and their dumb interactions idk
5. feel free to use the responses to throw together a cr chart, or link one if you already have one!

Zidane Tribal | Final Fantasy IX

[markedfordeath]

They haven't had a lot of CR yet but hit me!

[tantailizing]

Frankly, it's enough for him.

So Ms. He-doesn't-know-her-name still! He can tell how withdrawn she is, probably from a tough, even tougher life than his, that she's got baggage and secrets she won't so easily open up about, but that's fine. He's willing to keep trying to befriend her. And yeah, she's operating on that 'little to no point in getting to know or making allies' along with some other factors, but he wouldn't mind being one person she can at least rely on that's not from her world.

He's also veeery curious what it is she does as an occupation given she was canvasing the city as she was, but probably another question she would avoid answering.

[markedfordeath]

He's definitely hitting some nails on the head that's for sure! Elza can be honest with people, but it takes an incredible bond for that to happen. She's not used to people actually wanting to hang around her especially those who are honest and have a spark of life in them. It will take her some time getting used to him!

I don't know when or if she'll be parting with her occupation. She may only ever elude to something but never outright say it. What would Zidane think though if he ever found out? ;D

[tantailizing]

Considering he befriended a bounty hunter with a personal vendetta against him, a general that wanted to kill him, and a knight that wanted him executed, it's cool. A job is a job even if it's not one he totally agrees with.

[markedfordeath]

This is so true lol she'd probably think it's cute to find out he is/was a thief.

[tantailizing]

And if she found out he was originally a construct meant to incite war/annihilate a planet? Like, he's not going to, but it's probably something that an event might drag out down the line. Like talk about actually embarrassing things people thought would just happen after telling him...

[markedfordeath]

She'd probably be pretty neutral about the whole thing honestly! There isn't much that would bring out fear, hatred or any negative or positive emotion from her.

First she'll be like 'and I was raised to kill, maim, torture and terrorise the general population for money and was very good at my job' (if they're that far in CR) but then will probably say we were all raised for a reason but it didn't mean we were stuck following that reason.

[tantailizing]

Which is good. People sometimes freak out at what you can be... Zidane did.

Nope, fortunately not. He was adopted by treasure hunters before it got to that point.

[angelolatry]

Zidane and Colette are cute and even if I'm vaguely familiar through playing bits and pieces of IX, I really. Should. Sit down and get to it. Watch that take me forever because JRPGs but still.

[tantailizing]

Well good news(?), it might get an animated series. But around 2022/23 with the way development is going.

Gosh, Colette is like pure and innocent and wholesome girl that even Zidane's like 'holy crap who's allowing her to be around him??'. Though, he's also not the worst to be around, but if he was pre-game? Whoops. BUT HE'S NOT, and even then, his casual flirting had no effect on the beach. Also, he's very very concerned about her processing 'I was raised based on a lie' the way she is, and while he gets people process issues differently, she could stand to be mad even a little at someone... who that someone is he learned recently was Mithos. Thanks Kratos.

Anyway, they'll gradually work on Colette being okay with expressing a little emotion, but after birthday party stuff.

[angelolatry]

I saw! Depending on timing I may or may not get through the game itself. I've only played bits and pieces with friends but we do have it on PS4.

But fffff. Zidane plz. Yeah any sort of flirting is gonna go over her head because. It's Colette. Alas for him. But they are still cute friends and I'm loving their cr so far! There's definitely issues around the whole Chosen thing and the impact on her in how she has dealt with it and all but. At least she's trying to process it and figure it out now. But yeeeeah Mithos had good intentions with regards to Martel/stopping discrimination but the way he went about it was.....mmmm yeah nah.

But yes we can def do something with them getting into that more later!

[tantailizing]

The best laid intentions, but Mithos... Mithos, thousands of years of death aren't helping anyone especially with the Desians still...

Yeah! And then they can ambush Kratos the grump!

[angelolatry]

Mithos plz. Yeah, he. Could have gone about things way better.....

Kratos would prob more see it coming from Zidane but not necessarily so much a duo with Colette being involved.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

My turn!

[tantailizing]

OOOOOH BOY!

So, first, overall thoughts: Darin is a good man, 10/10, don't change too much my weird friend.

Expanded thoughts: Darin's been great getting to know since his arrival and so far, totally good! He's a fun guy, hard worker, but maybe too hard? It's like he's trying to make up for things that might not be his fault or be in his control, but rolling with the punches has only resulted in falling in a hole with spikes... if that makes any sense. But like with recent incidents which they didn't fully talk about (and Zidane missed out on, dammit Caster, timing!), just gotta drag him out to start again. Shit happens, but you can work towards making up for it. Shutting up and shutting out ain't the way to do it, chief.
