Relationship Meme PARALLEL
Okay, the rule of this meme is, you tell me what your characters think of mine and I'll do the same back.

Because, you know, I never get tired of essaying this stuff especially when I'm BORED AT WORK lah.

Characters are Ed, Vash, Riku, Lina and Killua.

Killua: Uh... Larxene just met him briefly. He seems pretty levelheaded. She's kind of interested in the fact that he can use lightning, too. Aside from that, no real opinion!

Riku: She thinks he's kind of a moron. Haha. Seriously, though, her teasing is a weird sign of affection. In her opinion he's kind of an idiot and really needs to grow some self-esteem if he wants to get anywhere, but she doesn't mind because he's her current favorite target for teasing. Honestly, she likes him better than Sora because he actually seems to have some sense in his head and occasionally will banter with her.

Killua

Larxene - Being as Killua is probably crazier than Larxene in his own, special way, he almost never forms personal opinions on people, and instead assess them. So things Killua has assessed about Larxene.

1 - Tortures people for fun = sadist (he doesn't care)
2 - Uses lightning. This is interesting to him since he's never met another person that can manipulate lightning. He'd like to see what she can do and test her strength.
3 - Not a threat. Despite the lightning thing, which is cool and all, he's quite certain he could kill her with little effort. Pretty much anyone who doesn't use Nen as they know it or can relate to it falls into this category though. Not that he wants to kill her or anything, just, you know, ex-assassin.

Riku

Larxene - Uh. Larxene is special. Riku doesn't actually hate her, he just doesn't actually like her either. She honestly doesn't register as a female to him (not that he REALLY thinks she's male, just... she's a Nobody, and a bitch) or else he would probably be nicer to her >D In his weird way he enjoys Larxene's company, as Riku really needs to be around people who he doesn't think are better than him, and thus who he doesn't mind talking back to. But despite all their snarking and bitching and fighting and the fact that Riku probably WOULD attack her if she annoyed him enough, he has no real desire to hurt her, and even things like telling Sora that Riku is hard for him would probably only result in a keyblade upside the head. or in the mouth.

Also enjoys ganging up on Axel with her, because while Riku likes Axel more than Larxene, Axel also pisses him off more often.

Ed: Saya will get you in a dress. Eventually. She does, however, have a healthy respect for your ability to escape her! . . . She just doesn't think it'll do you any good in the long run. ♥

Riku: . . . Looks good innadress. And didn't really resist all that much when she dressed him! Other than, well, the normal amount. So Saya likes Riku! As much as she likes all the other people who she's dressed. Maybe a little more, because he's tall and she can hide behind him from Axel if the need arises!

Riku

Saya - So, in the end, Riku is a guy and has a weakness for cute girls. Riku wasn't All That Put Out by being stuffed in a dress, because frankly, growing up with Sora? Worse has happened. And in a weird way you could say he liked it, NOT CAUSE HE LIKES WEARING DRESSES but because it harkens back to the 'good ol days'. Saya is cute, easy to manipulate and pushes his "someone I can protect" buttons thanks to that little incident with Axel. And he totally respects her mad stuffing people into dresses skills, which are NOT EASY TO AQUIRE. Will totally take her up on that getting Sora into a dress thing, but will probably wait until Kairi is here to witness it.

Ed

Saya - Basically falls into the category of Just Another Crazy Chick. Ed will avoid her, and will pull out all the stops to not end up in a dress. He has ninja-fu when it comes to escaping these things, and as long as Saya isn't going to hit him with something (like a wrench or nail bat) she'll probably never catch him >D

Near thinks about:

Ed: Not much. Finds his abilities useful, but his personality annoying. They don't come into contact much.

Killua: Near's hardly even met him. No opinion.

Riku: . . . wowzers, is Near confused about Riku. He's played the KH games, and to Near, none of the KH crew are real. They're just . . . not human. Intellectually, he knows they are, but - they're from one of the games he's played. Near's action figures don't talk to him or need to be taught about the local currency or build skate parks; it sort of boggles him that game characters are doing these things. But there's also a "omg cooool :D" feeling because . . . yeah. Near's games can talk to him. He's got that mix of feeling with ALL the KH characters. In addition, Riku gets wariness, because, face it, Riku's dangerous, and if Riku decides that Near's bad for Sora, well. [draws finger across throat] Once Near gets over himself and fully acknowledges the reality of the KH characters, he'll probably like Riku, unless he's managed to get himself on Riku's bad side in the meantime.

Sun Shang Xiang thinks about:

. . . actually, I don't think she's met any of them.

Riku

Near - Riku likes Near, and realizes that Near is probably hiding something from him, but isn't too worried about it. Riku has totally failed to buy the "this is another universe" line, and will very likely continue to. Not because he's Just That Stupid (even if he sometimes is) but because everything that happens at camp rationalizes into Riku's universe, where as Riku is used to people not knowing about other worlds, or really understanding it. In Riku's mind, Near is the one in the dark >D

Otherwise, Near has been nothing but helpful, which is enough to let Riku overlook the fact that he smells of darkness more than your average folk, and Riku isn't particularly on the look out when it comes to Near.

Ed

Near - Near is one of the very, very few people to make it onto Ed's "I Don't like you, asshole" list. Which is different from the "You're An Asshole" list. LOTS of people are on the latter list, the former is generally reserved for people like Envy, Bradly and his dad. Ed realizes that Near probably isn't aware of WHY Ed dislikes him, and also realizes that Near probably don't care what Ed thinks of him, but that's okay cause neither of these matter to Ed.

Fortunately, Ed doesn't actually think Near is a threat, just a jerk, so unless forced to deal with him, Ed will ignore him. Ed also thinks Near is smart, but falling into the 'genius' category himself, Ed doesn't actually regard intelligence very highly, compared to things such as kindness as honesty, so again, doesn't care.

8D Uh really just Tomo and Ed ahaha~

Tomo loves you Ed. T^Tb I mean, not romantically at all--she's never considered it and the idea of it is like. Beyond her mental grasp. XD When Sano mentions it as a joke she can't even imagine it! So she doesn't go around crushing on him or anything like that. But she does love him. Ed's the person at camp that Tomo sort of idolizes the most. Ed is amazing and wonderful and unbeatable and he shouldn't ever be unhappy ever because that's DEEPLY BAD. D:

Tomo will tell anyone who listens that Ed is the best person ever, and isn't conscious of this being strange or embarrassing in any way. >D It's just simple fact! Okay Sano's the best person ever too in a different way but Ed is like THE AWESOMEST because he can do alchemy and flail around and get flustered and has great hair and is evil with a pillow. HE'S THE PERFECT MAN CLEARLY. Just like, not in bed. Although he is hot sometimes whe he smirks or blushes but rly it's not like that. D:

Ed's in the small category of like 3 people in camp that Tomo doesn't like that way, never even thinks about that way, but if something happened on the other person's part to initiate it, she'd probably respond. Of course in Ed's case she'd assume he was under a spell or something. Ed, you so gay. :D

Uh in short: ♥ NEVAR LEAVE ME

Ed

Tomo - WHAT CAN WE SAY. Ed doesn't think Tomo is the best person ever, but that doesn't mean anything with him, because he doesn't feel the need for the people he cares about to be the greatest at anything. So while he can't admire her ability to you know, turn into a cow, he really admires things like just... what a normal person she is. Yes, in Ed's world, Tomo is normal. But seriously. She makes friends, she's happy, she's kind in her own way, she's capable and smart but still lazy and has ADD like woah. She doesn't treat him differently (Ed is totally unaware that she adores him, uh) or attempt to use or manipulate him.

We've been over the fact that Tomo is Ed's only real friend at camp (now that Riddle is gone) and Tom wasn't... exactly... a friend anyway. Not a normal one, anyway. Tomo fills in a lot of what Ed has been missing since his mother died, which is a normal teenage friendship, with people who he honestly hangs out with just because they're fun and funny, and not because he has some goal in mind in which they are useful for. ONE DAY Ed should probably tell Tomo his emo-back story, but he really doesn't feel compelled to fill her in. That stuff feels seperate from her in his mind, and he's perfectly happy keeping it that way.

Ed has no idea how important he is to Tomo >D HIS MIND DOESN'T ALLOW FOR PEOPLE TO LOVE HIM, I'M NOT KIDDING. So the fact that he can effect her is pretty much lost on him. Ed doesn't know that Tomo will be sad if he's sad, or worry about him, or miss him when he has to leave, and the rare times he sees hints of this it kinda surprises him. Similarly, it never occures to him that his opinion matters to her, which is why Ed forgot to mention for so long that Envy was horribly dangerous and should be avoided. Tomo seems like the type that would do whatever she wants, regardless of what he says, so it didn't occure to him to warn her off of Envy, so much as for him to warn Envy off of her.

AND they are basically in the same place as far as sexual stuff goes. Ed never thinks of most people like that, least of all Tomo. However, given as A) she's his height and B) she's actually really important to Ed, she's one of the very, very few people Ed might respond to if she initiated something. Or at the very least, he's turn her down as gently as possible to avoid hurting her feelings. But in the mean time, she can crawl all over Ed, including into his bed, and Ed would never think this embarassing or weird. He might think it's weird that he doesn't think it's weird and possibly finally admit to himself that he's gay. HOWEVER biting will always make Ed blush, just cause it's a very sexual thing to him after dating Tom, and that's more about the action and less about who does it. If anyone other that Tomo did that, he'd sock em >D ALSO Ed wouldn't feel comfortable about Tomo seeing him naked, or even mostly naked. This is because she's one of the few people who's opinion mattered to him, and Ed thinks his body is scarred and embarassing, so if Tomo was grossed out he'd care more than he would with most people. ALSO Ed would never actually look at Tomo naked willingly, because she's a girl and inspite of himself he's a gentleman, and in general still gets really embarassed over seeing women naked, gay or not >D

....Also Ed would probably kill people for Tomo. At the very least he'd definitely beat them to within an inch of their life.

Not much to offer but ah well. I... I think Mori met Ed....? And discussed crazy females...? My memory is made of failure. But aside from thinking he's generally nice and wtf women are not crazy, she doesn't have much of an impression.

Norma has only met Riku, and she thinks he's a really, really good person. She's not used to people apologizing to her (unless they're one of the people at camp she's manipulated into it); she's used to people saying mean things and hitting her when she gets annoying and was exaggerating for effect the way she usually does when she told Riku off. He kind of made her do a doubletake, there, and added to the fact that she trusts Sora's opinion, she thinks he's pretty cool. However, she doesn't want to make him apologize again, so she's not quite sure how to treat him when she talks to him again.

Ed

Mori - I don't remember them meeting... so I can't say anything! >D Ed'll probalby know Mori by name and as that guy Ueki's friend and as a girl who is less dangerous than most and that's about it.

Norma - Ed, though he's never talked to Norma, is infact more aware of her than most people. Ed knows she's a good friend of Tomo, which kind of automatically puts her up there as far as people Ed would randomly show up to defend/automatically assume to like. However, Ed also figures she's like ANOTHER Tomo, and Ed's seen her around harassing people about their sexuality, so Ed isn't going to go out of his way to meet her.

Riku

Norma - Riku... fails. Seriously. Riku is a teenage guy and Norma is a hot chick (he goes for the short, dark haired, flat chested type?). When she said he was mean to her he was honestly just joking around, because Riku really really just wants to be... a regular guy. He wants to be able to kid around with people his own age and one of the main points of KH1 is how he's jealous that Sora can make friends so easily, so I play Riku as if, despite being able to impress people with his awesome kick-ass ness, he was never good at making friends and making people like him, so he's trying really hard with that stuff now.

So he was genuinely apologetic about the fact that he came off as mean to her, but at the same time, Riku is used to hating himself so it's not gonna get him down >D He'll still joke with Norma whenever the opportunity presents itself, she SEEMS like a prankster herself, which is the kind of person Riku gravitates toward as far as fun friendships. And if he ever feels he needs to apologize again, he probably will. Cause Riku's new talent is being grateful for people that forgive him for being an ass. Though if it happened a LOT he would probably start avoiding her just so he wouldn't be able to do anything to upset her >D

THE NON-ROY/ED PEOPLE

Lina

Roy - Lina... Okay the thing about Lina is she is totally a girl who can think guys are hot without having an urge to do anything about it. So that said? Roy is hot. She appreciates this. He totally beats out the old geezers that taught her magic.

Otherwise though, Lina doesn't really get attached. She enjoys Roy because he's fun to torment but EVERYONE is fun to torment to her. And she recognizes that he's a manslut but since he is one with CLASS she's all for it. SOMEONE finally appreciates her looks. However. Lina is 100% convinced he isn't sincere, and will probably never believe otherwise.

Mostly Lina sees Roy as someone useful and someone fun. He will likely stay in that category forever, cause Lina doesn't seriously get attached to people often or easily. Also, she is totally going to learn his damn exlody alchemy. Lina is persistant and will not give up as long as she's in camp. No amount of... anything will change her mind >D

Killua

Gon - UH WHAT YOU SAID. Gon owns Killua. Killua will likely never gives two shits about anyone else in camp >D Uh. Yah. =D

Yuusuke - Killua was briefly amused by him, but doesn't care about him and he doesn't really register. He will vaguely recall him if they talk again >D

Ed

Yuusuke - WE STILL TOTALLY HANG OUT SOMETIMES AND STUFF, RLY

OKAY LAST TIME I DID ONE OF THOSE, ED HAD NOT YET REALIZED HE HAD A CRUSH ON ROY

So Ed figured that out and that's basically why he and Roy never have nice conversations anymore. That, combined with the body switch where on top of EVERYTHING ELSE his automail failed... Ed's just kinda back on the defensive with Roy. Only it's different now than it ever was before. It used to be that Ed just didn't like Roy. Sure, they could work together, and sure he liked topping him (or dreaming of it), but he really didn't LIKE Roy very much. And then once they got the camp... well sometimes he liked Roy. I think the real difference camp made was that Ed cared about Roy. Ed can easily care about people without liking them >D And that mostly happened there. But still... Ed could blow up at Roy and get mad at him and be stupid around him and it might bug him a little but it never really mattered because the truth was he didn't give much of a shit what Roy thought of him.

Now he does. He really does and he KNOWS it and he knows he knows it. He still won't admit it out loud without a good reason, but Roy's opinion does matter to him. And this is why various things have made Ed more angry or embarrassed than they should've. If it had been ANYONE ELSE in Ed's body, or ANYONE ELSE Ed got a crush on, Ed could deal with it a lot better. But Roy is... Ed doesn't consider himself Roy's equal, even if he tells himself and everyone else he is. Of course, Ed doesn't consider himself many people's equals >D But that's different. With Roy it isn't "He's better than me because I fail as a human being". Ed honestly respects what Roy has strived for, and what Ed honestly thinks he'll accomplish, and the sheer guts and will and intelligence and courage that takes. He doesn't think about it that clearly, no, but he senses it's there, and those are all qualities Ed respects a whole lot.

So... that stuff, the respect along with the fact that Ed likes Roy now, just as a person, means Ed really, really doesn't like Roy seeing his weaknesses. It bothers him a lot. The crush? The crush itself doesn't bother him, the thought of what Roy would think if he found out he had a crush bothers him. And not because "boohoo the hot guy will think I'm lame D=" just. Because to Ed it's a weakness and to everyone else it must clearly be a weakness too >D Because it IS silly and because Ed knows it and the fact that he doesn't have or seriously even WANT a chance isn't something he can believe others would understand. AND OF COURSE, ALL OF THIS IS ROY'S FAULT, BASTARD. Ed has no trouble blaming Roy for all of this. No.

Same with Roy being in his body. That especially pissed him off. It's his own goddamn body and his own goddamn burden and the idea of Roy even knowing the weight of it really just pisses him off. It's not cause Ed thinks it's that incredibly hard to endure, it's just that it's his and Ed has issues with anyone dealing with the consequences of his actions. Roy experiencing that at all embarrassed him like it was his own failure (even though it was still Roy's fault).

These are two things Ed isn't really prepared to deal with or have Roy know. The crush itself, he doesn't believe Roy knows about it, but the fact that a LOT of people poke him about it (when they never, ever would've done that in Amestris) makes Ed very defensive. And basically it all builds up to the fact that while Ed might at this point in time think more highly of Roy than he ever has in his entire life, he's rather determined to keep that from showing through.

He fails of course, because Ed is an honest person at heart. And people who aren't Roy see signs of it. I imagine if Caesar were to witness them together, he might figure out that Roy is the person Ed wouldn't tell him about. And the biggest thing about that is... that Ed himself knows it.

When Tomo talked about why couldn't Ed come home with her, one of the main reasons Ed refused was because of Roy. Not that he SAID that. But it is there. After restoring Al, of course, and after saving Amestris. But Ed no coincides saving Amestris with putting Roy in position as Fuhrer. In part, in Ed's mind, it's to repay a debt he owes Roy, that he's AWARE of even if he'll never admit it. But it's mostly because... well. He wants to. He wants Roy to achieve his dream. It's not even just that he wants Roy to save Amestris, he just honestly wants Roy to succeed, and I imagine part of this is because somewhere along the line Ed finally realized Roy wanted Ed to succeed too.

But back to the leader bit. I thought about it, what Ed would say if Caesar asked him what it took to be a good leader. As far what a leader is, Ed thinks "A leader is someone who is followed by those who will fight and die for his cause". In short, someone with people to lead. But as to what makes a good leader, it is "Someone who will fight and die for the causes of the people that follow him" and though Ed's never SAT DOWN and thought all that deeply about it, I think he realized that Roy was that kind of person when he saved Maria Ross for no reason other than that it was the right thing to do, and that she was the friend of a friend.

For all Ed likes to be in denial when it comes to Roy related issues, when it comes into his Goals In Life he faces them head on. This means that when he really decided to see Roy to the seat of Fuhrer, he wasn't going to beat around the bush about it. At least, in his own mind. There's no reason he has to tell Roy anything in detail, but Ed knows what he's gotten himself into, and why, and the fact that he honestly thinks it's important, and worth it. He's reasonably aware that Roy himself might not be aware of this much, but Ed doesn't really care. Hilariously, Roy's opinion doesn't factor into it. He has Ed's support, whether or not he wants it, bastard.

The chess thing actually DOES annoy Ed though. Ed knows Roy is good at it, and Ed knows he's bad at it. It's kindof embarrassed about it, because he went into the game the first time (With Riddle) expecting it to be easy for a genius like him, and got his ass handed to him. After that he decided he didn't care and didn't play anymore. Roy dragging him into it bugs him, because Ed doesn't LIKE going into things knowing he's going to lose. He is very much a guy who will run away if he's just not going to win in a situation. And he HATES losing to Roy. So being pulled into something he knows he can't win just rubs him the wrong way, and he puts absolutely no effort into it to make sure the game is as unenjoyable for Roy as possible.

Ed seriously doesn't believe Roy about the "making him into an opponent player" thing, because that would mean Roy considering him an equal in something which Ed... just can't really fathom >D Ed still thinks of himself as a kid, remember, and Roy is... a powerful adult who has, through all of their years together, shot him down, belittled him, and gone out of his way to be smug, superior and aloof. Ed might, on some level, realize that some of that was Roy 'preparing' him, but he honestly believes most of it was genuine. And why not? He's the dumb fuck kid that destroyed everything important to him. Ed expects to be looked down on. That a part of his always has and always will look up to Roy just kinda grinds this into his psyche. He can deny it loudly and often, but he doesn't often believe it himself.

So basically chess annoys him.

Uh, otherwise that's it. Ed thinks surprisingly highly of Roy, but only in his own head. He's wary of him otherwise, because of the way he feels about him, because of the way other people thinks he feels about him, and because of the things Roy knows about him. Ed doesn't consider them friends (again, that would imply equality) but does consider himself, in some sense, Roy's subordinant. As in he'll support him and watch out for him while viciously denying he's doing anything of the sort. The fact that Ed has a crush effects him more than the crush itself does, Ed rarely is actually bothered by any of that. The other feelings and thoughts he has about Roy are much stronger and more immediate to him.

So in his own way, Ed is intentionally putting up more walls between himself and Roy again. Only now it's because he actually likes Roy and because it would HURT if... if anything went wrong. It would hurt if Roy looked down on him or rejected his support, it would hurt if Roy pitied him or something stupid for having a crush on him, it would hurt if Roy pitied him for his automail either, it would hurt if he tried to be friends and that didn't work. And he doesn't think Roy notices any of this, or would care even if he did notice. But he's also putting up barriers between Roy and anyone else, in the sense that Ed will watch out for him in his own way.
