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!

Can we talk, one ten to another?

ohhhhh Edelgard. Claude finds her frustrating, in a lot of ways. He knows he and Edelgard hold very similar worldviews, but the sticking points have always been on how to achieve it -- he doesn't think war is the justified solution, for all that he's toyed with the idea of killing Rhea, and given there was a greater threat to Fódlan all along, he wishes that in his world they could have cooperated to remove it and then work together on making Fódlan a more egalitarian place. She was being manipulated by TWS as much as she was using them, and in the end, neither of them won (as he remembers it).

That said, he never actually wanted to fight her, so he's relieved she isn't trying to carry on their conflict in Avalon when it already seems to be over for both of them. He still sees her as an old classmate, and he's glad they have a unifying cause this time around that means they won't wind up pitted against each other. He sincerely wanted to get along with her at the Academy, even if he was acting in self-interest, so he's grateful to have another chance to buddy up to her here without any hidden agendas.

he's a tiiiiny bit jealous that Edelgard has Byleth here, but he's also happy that they're happy, and he can only assume Byleth has been a good influence on her.
