or i guess a less umbrella question

what kind of cr do you want with ellie?

i wanna do the thing with you

I want more Isha and Ellie things idk what but more

o

uh wow okay enter key

i am!! really excited to tag you back. and i have no idea what their cr is doing

ellie is still like, deeply suspicious of isha for some reason? she just doesn't get you isha u_u

but please teach her how technology works

It's ok Isha isn't easy to decipher just shh accept it

It comes from years of manipulation and playing people don't be frustrated ellie

talking shit about red isn't helping your case isha!!

Look she likes you reds she does she just keeps it real

The kind where afterwards I lay down and stare at the ceiling and cry but only a little

(a lot)

Also maybe sometime something that doesn't directly result in staring at the ceiling and crying??

hdjaks

i feel like tess and ellie are at a strange point in their relationship- where they both know that things are- weird? but don't really know what to do with it.

there a direction you'd like their cr to go on tess' end?

i mean, i'm really-

like ellie keeps collecting all these TERRIBAD papa bears

but i also want her to have some female rolemodels

and i don't want her to get trapped in the 'protect the beebin' bubble, especially given that her age and said papa bears' tendencies to look after her give her

tldring in here

i would like tess to help encourage her personal growth- where she can learn to stand on her own two feet and be a little more assertive :x

YEAH I MEAN

Definitely. I'm hoping that like... TBH after black box...

shenanigans I definitely think Tess might question how well the whole "just let Joel protect her" thing worked out since WH has made it really clear he expects Hinata to get stronger and not just be coddled-

But she also doesn't rly think she has much right to tell Ellie anything lmao

~the only person in the world~ tess doesn't feel like she has a right to tell everything tbqh /bosses relentlessly

SOOooo I'd really like her to quit doing the 'keep Ellie at arms length and only pop up when things seem really bad' thing

Especially since she does think Ellie is really capable

they're totally doing the arms length thing

and i feel like they're slowly sort of- moving out of that and trying to figure out how to be around each other

IT IS THE WORST I JUST WANT TO SLAP TESS SO BADLY LMAO.

WELL I THINK THAT PART OF IT is that joel makes shit weird

like he's two totally different people to them

and then there's the whole tess died trying to save me and thus the world this is all my fault thing that ellie just KEEPS GOING BACK TO

gross

Lmfao and Tess is like 'IT IS ALL MY FAULT THEY ARE HERE AND THERE'S NO FUCKING REASON FOR IT AT ALL"

so they're like- trying to relate to one another given these weird sort of- variables in their environments and circumstances

Horrible bad self loathing babies

i love our self loathing babies

MAYBE that should be a conversation they have

I hate them (I love them sobs)

or half have

since talking is gross

Yeah talking is SICK

because ellie is very much in camp I Totally Chose To Come Here So I Guess I Can Deal

so she's like... weirdly okay with things atm

i mean if i canon update her that'll all go to shit

BUT FOR NOW

The weird thing is, outside of Joel and Ellie's magical adventure being ~ her fault ~ (narcissism lines) Tess has no problem with

being here either lmao

she doesn't really have even the slightest inclination to go back home or anything

(a conversation she has not had with Joel obviously)

But yeah I think if they had a little time to... do stuff together that served as a buffer so that they could sort of...

Not have to awkwardly skirt around each other because they're doing more than just talking

Tess functions better with actions really. But yea!!! I'd love them to get to do some learning stuff, and really for Tess to learn who Ellie is beyond the few things she knows the the imaginary

idea she has of her as a victim

tess how are you with teaching small girls how to fist fight

Really good.

Ellie's got a pretty good handle on a lot of nice dirty fighting tricks but there's always more you can learn

Also it's different than a guy teaching you to fight. Especially when you're not a very big lady

ANYWAY!!! I am excited. I think that Macha is going to suit their style of fighting way better (TREEESSSS, cover!!!) and although Tess has been pretty nose in air 'training'

the truth is they don't have twenty years to learn

I want shinji and ellie to become super cute friends...and talk about things with each other. She's one of the few people around his age and he feels comfortable around her which doesn't happen often

I want them to have a feels jam about their shitty lives and having the whole save the world thing forced upon them

I also want them to listen to music together and kind of just...quietly enjoy each other's company. Also I want cute selena things...

Shinji also got her a book as a present bc he's a nerd...sorry ellie he's awkward sob
