TRACE & clementine

[walkietalkie]

► getting her first real crush (possible cute preteen mutual crushing??)
► adopting younger kids and kind of taking care of them
► adopting full grown adults and kind of taking care of them
► actually talking to someone about her story. (not sure how it'd come up, but i want it.)
► someone getting her back into art. she loved it in season 1, but in season 2 she's All Survival All The Time

► at least one exploration per month because she's That Kind Of Person
► contributing positively to the level of technology/development or their overall standard of living here in lifeaftr

► yelling at someone for threatening/insulting wade wilson
► a rivalry/negative CR/animosity that lasts multiple threads and actually interferes with her life in some way
► arguments in general. she's kind of prone to them.
► possibly having to sincerely threaten someone's life?? for some reason

► someone talking to her about the concept of family and helping her work through her situation with wade, eventually culminating in her accepting him as a legit father figure and taking his last name

(i will think of more i'm sure, but these are it for now!)

[catpiper]

Hopefully Ren can manage to get Clem back into art world. She would always give her part of her chalk supply if that helps? It's something Ren would def encourage.

[mamaterasu]

DID SOMEONE SAYYYYY

[achievementhunter]

Okay but consider Mutual Adoption and arguing with this apparent 11 year old who is technically a year older than her as they both try to be The Martyr in the survival games.

[holdmyhand]

Luna will absolutely take Clem on explorations at least once a month! SHE CAN MEET THE PUPS AND ADVENTURES!! Because Luna is also the type of character that wants to go once a month on a big adventure, yes. Yes.

Otus is pretty shy by comparison, but she could adopt him absolutely. ♥ yes, friend it up, he is smol and needs head pats.

TIM -

⊗ i can only really offer really awkward hugs.... and only when a person seems Really Upset... but there's that option regardless

[catpiper]

RE: TIM

Heck yeah picnic. Ren was gonna have one with Ichimatsu with cat onigiri and stuff. Maybe they could make cat onigiri for that instead!!

RE: DRIFTER

I want Ren to hug them someday. Absolmcfuckinglutely!!!

RE: GABE

SHE'LL FIND A GAME HE'LL LOVE SOMEHOW This will be her life mission.

Re: ZERO + tim, drifter, gabe

♦ SSSSSSOMEDAY IF ANYTHING EVER HAPPENS TO OTUS' CLOAK HE CAN DEFINITELY GIVE THE KID A RIDE. However, if it's more for fun, Luna will definitely help out, I mean, for the greater good and all that because piggy back rides are so important.
♦ LUNA WOULD ALSO HELP HIM FIND A PET SNAIL (AND NICKNAME IT, BECAUSE SHE IS A POKEMON NICKNAMING MASTER AND ALSO WHY IS THIS SLUGMA SO SMOL AND NOT HOT HELP)

[encircling]

stretches out across ur goals for gabe

did someone say exploration

Lexy | Ren

[catpiper]

- admit she's dying/sick to someone i have no idea how this would come up but lordy lord
- amass a cat army
- recognize it's okay that she wants to live
- actually help some people??
- tell more people about seto/ask them to take care of him when she dies
- make a pillow fort??
- recognize she deserved a family/home/stuff like that
- do more explorations
- accept she's brave enough to fight/proactively learn to defend herself
- contribute to island life somehow?? stop being such a freeloader?
- learn an actual helpful skill
- trust someone enough to ask them to hold onto some of her medicine so she always has a backup maybe
- wear shoes all the time
- accidentally steal from someone
- sing with someone
- play baseball again

I'LL THINK OF MORE EVENTUALLY

[walkietalkie]

These are all just options I'm seeing, by no means do we have to do them all, but!


"- recognize it's okay that she wants to live"

Clementine might be a good person to help her with that? Coming from a world where you have to kind of actively make the choice to protect yourself at cost of others if you want to survive, it kind of takes a little bit of reconciliation to accept the fact that you sincerely Want To Live.

"- make a pillow fort??"

In Haven, Clem was kind of responsible for kicking her apartment block in gear and helping them fortify, so I picture her being Really Tactical about a pillow fort and it's just a cute thought to me idk.

"- recognize she deserved a family/home/stuff like that"

AHAHA HARD SAME for clem. like, that's kind of on my own list for her, but i only just now realized she'd ALSO have to recognize that she even deserves it after what she's done.

"- accept she's brave enough to fight/proactively learn to defend herself"

Clem's also small but able to fight, so maybe she could encourage her? She also could teach her to shoot or use an axe/knife/etc. (See also: "-learn an actual helpful skill")

Re: Lexy | Ren

[achievementhunter]

Okay but

Admit that she's dying/sick to someone
Chara would be able to tell her what death is like in the nicest dang way possible?

Recognize it's okay that she wants to live
She can help Chara with recognizing it's okay to not want to be forgotten

accept that she's brave enough to fight/proactively learn to defend herself
Chara is ALL ABOUT THIS they actually have proper knife fighting training too so like, they can teach her real good stuff and give her a weapon??? They'd absolutely encourage this in every way especially with this month upcoming

Honestly there's more but I don't want to be too greedy LMFAO

AB | The Batter

[unpurify]

- Come to terms with the clusterfuck that is OFF's plot and his role in it.
- Learn how to emote and how to people in general.
- Mercy kill someone.
- Have someone learn about the Puppeteers.
- Wait more then five seconds before dumping gasoline on his positive CR.
- Actually smile and get a hug.
- Deal with his depersonalization issues and death wish.
- Start teaching people how to fight.
- For someone to find out he has four eyes rather then just two.
- More silly shit.

That about sums it up, really ahhaha.

[achievementhunter]

Okay but idk when or how but

-Mercy kill Chara in return for them mercy killing him.

•also doing a lot more investigation about the whole...LA not being some people's first time in the world hopping rodeo and being Generally Nosy
•HELP PEOPLE...
•actually like. show people the more vulnerable parts of him, preferably some Close CR
•at the same time i just want more shitposts and being a jackass at people

[postictal]

I CAN HELP WITH SOME OF THESE. tim's been doing some Organizing and shit and he kinda likes mccree, he'd probably be willing to ask for his help with stuff if ur interested.....

I'M BEING VAGUE CAUSE IDK IF IT'S GONNA PAN OUT YET BUT. IF IT DOES. EYE EMOJIS @ U

Kaiya | Wade Wilson

[ishotyouuu]

- make more friends! Or at least people who can put up with his bullshit
- construct a memorial for his friends in Haven
- teach people how to fight
- spend more time with his kids
- cook for someone
- talk about the worlds he's been in
- allow himself to be vulnerable
- romance????

[walkietalkie]

- CAN SHE HELP WITH THE MEMORIAL
- can he help her improve the variability in her combat skills?? they're really 'basic survivalist' right now
- "his kids" goddamn cute
- BE VULNERABLE WITH HER

Gorse | Xion & Tataru

[alittleditty]

Tataru

• Become an actual omnicrafter - or at least expand her disciplines a great deal. At the very least I'd like for her to get proficient at cooking and alchemy/salvemaking.
  
• Build a small restaurant/cafe thing where she can waitress/gossip.
  
• Actually get her flirting more - this is the gal who by the end of Stormblood is happily carousing around Kugane with a flock of male admirers. She loves it tbh though I don't think she's looking for any serious romance (I'm open to it happening personally but I generally prefer ships to sort of happen on their own SO...)
  
• Admit/reveal her lowkey inadequacy issues compared to "actual" heroes
  
• Admit/reveal how much growing up in capitalism hell has affected her way of thinking/views of self worth
  
• Be mistaken for a child more. Bonus points if it's during hilarious moments like her flirting or talking about accounting/taxes or something more blatantly adult-ish.
  
• I want her to sit on someone's shoulder like Nanamo
  
• Get her to be someone that most characters in the game know of if they don't know personally
  
• Boss somebody around/get somebody to see the more spitfire side of her personality
  
• Actually get her into trouble/a situation that she needs to be helped out of
  
• ... possibly traumatize characters by getting her injured/hurt/killed at some point 'u'

Xion

• Talk to someone about her family in more than just passing mentions
  
• Actually talk to someone about her codependency issues and how much she's backslid without her support net from Animus
  
• Talk more about Animus in general
  
• Actually genuinely smile/laugh
  
• Actually genuinely be comfortable/relaxed
  
• Get a friend close to her own age. Physical or actual. Or both.
  
• Get CR with every clone/artificial character in this game
  
• Get more comfortable and confident with leading
  
• Get adopted. Again. Please. Please.
  
• Deal with the sneaking sense of hopelessness/fear that she's either never going to get home and change her future, let alone see her family again.
  
• Actually get angry/lose her temper at some point. Bonus points if it's defending somebody she cares about.
  
• ... get mistaken as Noctis' sister by new arrivals/unfamiliar people if that's okay with Rosy

[catpiper]

Tataru

Ren still thinks she's a kid and will continue to mistake her as one. One day it'll come up I'm sure.

Since it's gonna get super cold, Ren will probably start telling people about her bc she can make gloves. That might help kickstart the 'everyone knows Tataru' thing.

Xion

Ren would ask her about her family!! Like if she had one and things like that. She's nosy. And she would ask her about the world she came from too, so that could mean animus in this case.

THEY CAN BE FRIENDS!! Ren is like mentally 5 even if she looks 15 + was called an artificial child in her world even tho she's a real girl? Lab experiments suck and they could commiserate about that someday.

MAGGIE | Ginko, Erika

[onegreeneye]

Ginko

> accepting that it's ok for him to have feelings
> talking about/acknowledging his deep-seated self-image issues
> telling people about mushi
> teaching some kids some survival techniques!!
> in general sharing his... admittedly very specialized skillset
> possibly learning some new skills too
> accidental fights because ryslig trolls are. something.
> get him into more exploration groups!
> adopting more kids, and also adults. he's Gotta
> probably... trying to sacrifice himself, at some point. i don't make the rules he just has to

Erika

> dumb crushes on cool ladies
> FUN SPARRING FIGHTS
> legit fight-fights
> one type of fight that turns into the other
> getting used to living out in the goddamn wilderness instead of a city like a NORMAL PERSON
> threatening people on chip's behalf
> getting involved in an exploration at some point
> FULL MOON WEREWOLF SHENANIGANS though this is kind of inevitably a monthly thing

[postictal]

re: erika, points at eyes, points at you

i really wanna accost you and casey for a disaster three-way thread with tim, erika, and chip ok

Angel | Frisk, Ichimatsu

[ichininyaanshi]

Frisk

KID SQUAD KID SQUAD KID SQUAD

Also mute protag squad? We have so many here I would love to see 'em all do some utterly silent exploring

Get them to admit that "Kittu" is an alias and start using their real name (this one won't be too hard probably since their Partner, Chara, has already been outed from their own alias in the recent Storytelling)

More puns and flirting but that's always eternal goals

SOUL-related things because they have a SOUL and they can Resonate with it a la Soul Eater

Formal training with their knife?

Or teaching other kids rudimentary knife skills at least

Teach this child how to garden and raise crops and/or livestock

Ichimatsu

Honestly this fool has legitimate skills in stuff like arts and crafts so I want to force him to actually hone that and make himself useful here

Please someone light a fire under his ass to be productive at all

Bonding with people over soft animals and bonding with actual soft animals?

He's really good with wrestling moves weirdly but actually learning how to properly fight would be cool

Actually getting into more explorations because he's been scared piss to do one ever since he unlocked a catastrophe lol

This is a super minor one but the Matsus getting mistaken for each other always gives me a laugh

Can someone call this shitboy out on the fact that he's a tsundere and just show him what a hypocrite he is?

[unpurify]

The Batter can't offer formal knife training but he can offer general combat stuff if they need it! Also soul stuff between the two of them would be interesting :D

A meme starring BIRB, CHARA, and KARAMATSU

[achievementhunter]

CHARA

❤ Start using their own dang name
❤ Admit to someone they ERASED themself from space and time
❤ Have someone touch them without flinching/panicking/being super hyper-aware of it
❤ Stop fucking hoarding food in every nook and cranny possible
❤ Get more than four hours sleep in one rest period
❤ Get down to carrying two (2) knives at any given time, rather than six
❤ Resonate with someone who isn't Frisk
❤ Get stuck genuinely caring about +2 more people (Asgore, Asriel, Frisk, and Tim not included)
❤ Actually admit when they need help for once
❤ More formal training with their knife/another weapon
❤ Teach ASL to someone/multiple someones

KARAMATSU

☆ Learn that girls are Actual People
☆ Start a band
☆ Become slightly less painful
☆ Genuinely impress someone who isn't a child somehow?
☆ Have a slap fight with Newt
☆ Have five more crushes*
☆ Become a star*
☆ Be worshipped*

*This is Karamatsu's goal, not mine.

[unpurify]

It'd probably end poorly for everyone involved and I don't know how it'd work but soul stuff between the Batter and Chara would be interesting!

LUNA & OTUS

[holdmyhand]

LUNA

✰ MAKE MORE FRIENDS. She just wants to get to know everyone
✰ Have someone tell her that she won't be able to find the rest of her pokemon on the islands. Because she's already reached the max of two, and she's Determined as hack.

OTUS

✰ Find a mentor, or someone who can give him a little bit of direction, since dad Asio isn't here.
✰ ALL THE MUTE-PROTAG LOGS ALL OF THEM INCLUDING SLUMBER PARTIES AND SEARCH REQUESTS AND MEANINGFUL AND DEEP CONVERSATIONS (AND ALSO MANY, MANY AWKWARD HUGS)

[catpiper]

LUNA

-ADVENTURE. Ren's always game for chilling with Luna and would def want to keep an eye on her during adventures. Ya gotta hide ya bean.

-LET REN CATCH HER DOING A SAD WITH THE CLEFAIRY DOLL!!! And my gosh I hope for the day Luna is vulnerable with her. Ren's actually good for things like that since she knows Sad Stuff. She could hold her hand?? Maybe give her a lil hug?? IDK

OTUS

-FRIENDS

-wtf ren was built for drawing on walls!! this is her one skill!! please let her help him graffiti his house.

[lightlessfuture]

THE KNIGHT

► Make friends! Friends who don't know about their origins and don't care and fun stuff like that.
► Get used to teamwork and not traveling or living by themselves.
► Comfort someone.
► Be comforted by someone and not be a stoic hyper-independent child. In that vein, seek comfort from others instead of stoically bearing it by themselves.
► Learn sign language.
► Make dumb mistakes and learn from them.
► Decorate, dig in, and learn to make a house a home instead of just "something to live in temporarily".
► Get used to the idea of things and people not being immediately transient.
► Learn how food works more than "if I don't eat I will pass out."
► Learn how to do things that aren't strictly practical skills.
► Embellish practical skills.
► Read some books. Enrichment!!
► map everything. EVERYTHING

[pallidscops]

-"Comfort someone" and "be comforted by someone"

✰ Please, please give me this amazing CR between Otus and the Knight. Silent protags comforting each other silently. With head pats, or just bringing each other things that they enjoy. No sad. No.

-"Learn how food works more than "if I don't eat I will pass out."

Hard same. Maybe they can ask for a pot and make a stew? It's hot so? You would have to eat it slowly unless you enjoy burning your little mouth right off your ding dang face?

-"Read some books."

OTUS WILL SHARE ALL OF HIS BOOKS WITH YOU WHEN HE GETS THEM!!! STORIES ABOUT PIRATES AND OLD GREEK HEROES AND ALSO THE BOOKS THAT HE DOESN'T WANT, LIKE PHYSICS 101: THE CLASS, THE LECTURE, THE STRUGGLE

Azazel | Gobbet

[ratsinadaze]

❧ More exploration, all the time, forever.
❧ Forming a regular team for aforementioned exploration.
❧ A friendship that she takes seriously - she has plenty of acquaintances on these islands but none that she'd consider close. Someone needs to break that shell.
❧ For her to realize that her life is not the only life worth saving. I want her to act even just once not on a whim, not because she's sick of watching people die, not because she feels obligated to - but because she cares about someone genuinely enough to lay down her life for them.
❧ Related to the above: I'm open to that backfiring and causing her significant harm, or even death. She's in a fragile place right now, talking and interacting with more people than ever and working towards a common goal like she has been. If the scales happen to tip towards "never let anyone in ever again and become a fucking savage" then so be it.
❧ House repairs need to happen.
❧ A little weapons training wouldn't hurt - she just got a dope sickle but she's not exactly a master of using it.

[postictal]

SO THIS CR IS GONNA GO ONE OF TWO WAYS. the third/fourth/fifth points are probably gonna come up at some point lollllllll
