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!

I mean, he is the Team Mom...

OKAY BOY IS KOTONE THE COMPLICATED SEES PERSON. (Well. So is Ken, but in a different way.) This is partly Syn's fault, since Minako... either definitely was from his timeline or at least skewed much more closely to it, and they had fourish years of hanging out in Liminal Space. He's used to a less blatantly 'I'm Fine I'm Totally Fine See How Fine I Am (not)' variety of FemC. (Some of that is down to player interpretation, some of it is 'stuck in a jamjar for fiveish years with mostly no company from home, and the SEES company she did have before Shinji was Dudetag Timeline.' After a while you stop pretending you're not tired.) He gave Minako chocolate, not because he expected a response in kind but because not saying something was becoming the bigger regret.

So suddenly 'she's here, but also not' is... a hell of a thing. But: It's not Kotone's fault and he refuses to make it her problem. He hasn't even told anyone else in SEES that he didn't know 'Kotone' as her name (if he told anyone, it was Shiro, who also met Minako in Syn). He's the one who has to figure this out.

She's still on his original friend shortlist, and still got there in record time. She's still the last entry on his crush shortlist, even if he's far less likely to say anything unless and until he can separate out the Previous Game Shit. Besides, Yukari. She's still someone he trusts implicitly, which is also always going to be a short list. Hell, she's still the first person he suggested going in on a house to.

It's just... a little bittersweet at the same time. But hey, at least the cloud hanging over things isn't entirely made of 'she's supposed to be dead'??? (Honestly he will take whatever More Time with her he can get, in any form. That's the easy part.)
