tl;cr meme

[savedbyasong]

STEP ONE: Post with your character!
STEP TWO: Respond to other people's characters with your characters. They will then tell you, in detail, what their character thinks of yours -- and as per the meme's title, tl;dr is encouraged, but not necessary! Don't be afraid to ask others for their characters' first impressions of yours as well.
STEP THREE: Write out tl;dr for whoever comments to you in return.
STEP FOUR: Chat with each other in mutual joy/horror/disgust/delight/confusion at where your CR has gone!
BONUS: Use this for writing up CR charts, or if you already have them written, link to them!

muffet was one of the first people the drifter met who wasnt human, which was super nice for the drifter lol. theyre surrounded by animal people at home most of the time, and all these humies was throwing them off. aside from that, though, muffet is also confusing to them in a lot of ways precisely because of her monster-level generosity and default compassion. she asks them things like what their favorite food is, what they like to do, questions that theyve literally never considered or had to consider in their life. that perplexes them - not just the fact that shes asking at all, but the fact that shes genuinely...interested even.

muffet being as savvy as she is has been a pretty good boon to them both too, because the drifter is so prickly about accepting things like help. they view things in the framework of debts and exchanges, a cost for aid and for food and the like. so when they put that out there, muffets generally respected their boundaries, which is a pretty big deal considering theyre from a world where that kind of shit just wasnt even on the table. after they died, she was really eager to help and the drifter was like HEY NO STOP IT I GOT THIS and she backed off, which is a rarity where theyre concerned and also super freaking important. bad in the short term because the drifter needs to learn to accept help sometimes, but good in the long term because it means they understand her as someone who respects their limits and seems very sincere about it.

theyve yet to really form preferences or even allow themself to form preferences but muffet is one of the big reasons behind the possibility that they might be able to get there someday. and tbh thats a big goal of mine as a player - to get the drifter to a point where they feel they can allow themself to try and crystalize actual opinions and choices on things. and muffet, bless her, is critical to that.

The Drifter is a good bean and I respect them- and Muffet does too. She's glad that they're laying the groundwork for something better, at least, and will happily wait for them to meet her at their own pace.
