lobselvith: chara simultaneously sees themselves as a mentor figure who has to be responsible for sharon because sharon willingly agreed to be their ally and treats their opinions with weight instead of being like "that's a child and i'll indulge them". and then they also see her as like. a big sister that they can trust

they're immensely grateful for the way she understands them without judging them and also think she's just really cool

spellweaver: frisk is their best friend, their partner, their family, the one person that kind of binds chara to this place and makes them slow down because they know that everything they do might just hurt frisk, if not physically then emotionally. they're immensely affectionate and protective towards them and they're trying to respect their agency too

since chara has a tendency to just decide what's best for the people around them without considering their feelings or what they want.

it's more complicated with frisk because there's a degree of envy that frisk got the chance that chara wishes they could have had, and there's a small part of them that resents that frisk is a lot better at being good and nice than them just because frisk is a lot less introspective and bleak.

(and also because they don't have any LOVE, which chara has convinced themselves that they want because it's the reason for their resurrection)

i love them

frisk is just way more simple than chara.... LMFAO their feelings are just "i care a lot about chara and i want them to be happy" even tho chara exasperates them at times

Chara on Paul, Ianthe on Ortus (be mean)

faith on harrow, & ianthe on harrow!

faith on qrow, chara on vash

Chara on Deku

bitterends: faith sees sansa as a princess. she knows sansa isn't technically a princess but faith's understanding of feudal dynamics is very basic. she thinks that sansa is a nice girl that ought to be protected and it seems like she's had it rough but remains fairly sheltered in some ways. faith likes her, but shes also frightened of polite people.

adaine saw sansa as her best friend in trench and wanted to protect her as best as she could. she's pretty sure they lived in different worlds but not all that different environments, and sansa reminds her of like... aelwyn but if aelwyn was nice and less painfully cynical. every time she learned something new about her world she wanted to kill someone new

chara thinks sansa's got a relatively good head on her shoulders but she thinks that she's someone who struggles to adapt to new environments (there is no self awareness in this, no) and is very stubborn (also no self awareness) in her worldview. it's hard to explain but they see her as very aggressively human (derogatory)

they*

misgendered my own blorbo gonna go kms

they like her well enough but she's very human and prone to the biases of humanity as a result

thats their take

chara thinks she’s cool but wow wow wow I love how they view her as someone to be mentored and as a big sister

lmao god chara.....also adaine

MAUL. faith's take on maul is complicated. she thinks he's got his own version of honor and his own principles and she thinks he's... strangely consistent, and could probably be relied upon in certain instances when it comes to the people they both care about. however she also thinks he's a sadistic hypocrite and recognizes a lot of her worst traits in him

which means she wants to beat him senseless

having trouble articulating why chara's perception of sansa is so funny to me

like sansa tries to be nonthreatening around chara but would be very surprised to learn it actually worked

sansa does feel that chara might like her better if she were a wolf, but she doesn't want to risk chara feeling tricked that the wolf was really a human

i think the thing is that chara's reaction to asoiaf's plot would be "the others should just kill literally every person in this world and they would all be better off."

so they're just puzzled by sansa and assume she's simply misguided

chara..........the others are not better

sansa concedes the children of the forest might be,

thats a good compromise

children of the forest should wipe out humanity and the others and just hang out with the dragons. this is the ideal solution.

what if there is no solution. what if the idea of a solution is part of the problem

conceptually thats just the one thing they can't wrap their head around or accept unfortunately

ANYWAY. chara's feelings on maul is like... they're invested in his decision to attempt to be a good person despite the fact that his relationship to guilt and remorse is so clearly distant. they're not quite sure why but the truth is that they see elements of themselves in him and they're deadset on not changing but deeply unhappy the way they are

they think they're smarter than him though, sorry maul.

and they're also evidently not above prodding his emotional scars with a stick to see how he'll react

terriblepurpose: chara's feelings on paul, that's their foolish little brother and they will protect him. they felt stung at the time when paul decided to quit while he's ahead with revenge because unlike paul they've already long since passed the point of no return and they think they're fundamentally not a creature capable of living without destruction

anymore

but after their corruption died down just a little and paul still remained with them even after all they did, they prefer this outcome, and they want paul to be better, because he has the chance to avoid the path that he was on now and deserves to take it, while chara has already fulfilled their role and can't take it back even if they wanted to.

they want to shape paul into the kind of hero that they initially tried to be, someone who is more ruthless and angry than heroes like deku or frisk but who's still compassionate enough and grounded enough in reality that he can still care about the world without hating it wholesale like chara does.

ianthe on ortus meanwhile is... a bit simpler. she finds the way he's so utterly resigned in his self contempt both frustrating and a little impressive. she thinks it's pathetic that he cares about gideon now when she's already dead and he and everyone around him already failed her and harrow, and she's very much projecting her own feelings about how she was

treated on the third house. like, wondering if there's any old tutors or advisors who regret treating her like shit while she broke her back carrying the entire house on her shoulders and who'd get all sad about it now that it's way too late and she can't go home again. having said that, she thinks she can use that guilt to her advantage

i think ortus actually acknowledging that ianthe isn't necessarily a completely cartoonish monster might actually give her pause though because she's very raw and bitter about being treated like the bad guy for trying to save the empire through intensely dubious means three whole times. (the cartoonish villain speeches probably don't help)

ianthe: hahahahaha! i'm better than all of you ignorant fuckers, i killed babs and i have no regrets, i wield more power than you can imagine! i'm going to wipe out your entire house for helping you!
ianthe: why does nobody like me tho
