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!

Irhya likes Hythlodaeus a whole lot!! He's easy to get along with in a way that makes her feel like he's always been there (which was something the shade of Hythlodaeus did similarly while she was down in the Tempest), and they just gel so naturally that she doesn't think to question it more often than not.

...The trouble comes when she does think deeper about it, though. There's guilt, certainly, even though she isn't fully responsible for it -- she is still a byproduct of the Sundering, like it or not. He's a fish out of temporal and cultural water, and some of the grittier aspects of humanity probably don't sit well with him, yet she never hears him complain about it. It's sort of like she wants to prove they're not all bad, befriending him as a means of apologizing... but something like "hey, sorry everyone from your world ends up dead, but it's not all bad, right?" doesn't go over well no matter how you frame it.

And to that end, she worries. That someone will take advantage of him, or use his inability to defend himself to some nastier end. That he'll see some of the uglier sides of them and decide, finally, that enough is enough. If he of all people gave her a withering look like that, she's pretty sure a little (actually really big) piece of her heart would die inside. Certainly, she knows there must be something he's holding in, all the conflicted thoughts and opinions about what happens in his future and who's involved in it, but she just hopes that layer underneath never reaches a breaking point. He seems like he'd be scary if he were really, truly angry.

He's a gremlin, but he's an extremely good gremlin. And she deeply appreciates his gremlin presence! For both Hades's sake and her own, because he really does seem like the sort of sweetheart she only encounters every once in a great, great while. Rare and irreplaceable, like Haurchefant was, but with the "unrepentant little shit" factor turned up to maximum. Someone she will probably never see the like of again for a long time to come. So, short though it may be, she's happy she's gotten the opportunity to spend time with the real him. No regrets at all, 10/10, would visit again. ♥
