Norio is still at a point where he's pretty unsure of everything, but he's probably taken the most to Zuko out of anyone thus far. He's been pretty laidback about things, very helpful, and also just strikes Norio as being incredibly honest—all qualities that make it so Norio doesn't feel as nervous, or hesitant, or irritated around him as he might with some. Norio is sort of the epitome of a social failure, but Zuko is already someone he doesn't feel particularly uncomfortable around.
Zuko feels comfortable enough around Norio since he arrived because there's a certain sense that they're both awkward in similar ways, but Zuko has the advantage of being used to Ruby and the team has helped him a lot to accept himself more than he would be under different circumstances. So he's okay giving space but also trying to be helpful, especially because Norio seems reserved and not completely willing to go into details about his life. Zuko thinks it's because it's not been long since he got here and a mix of being awkward, so he doesn't mind. Norio also seems a bit more realistic about things and he appreciates that.
Also hilariously, I don't think he knows Norio's name ICly but I'm assuming he probably knows by now. AND. Ruby is very important to Zuko and he puts the team first before other people/teams, so Norio is already important just because he's Ruby! He likes him as an individual now, too, though.
I sort of answered that in Kit's meme here! Basically, the whole situation makes him a little nervous, because not only does he have to work and live with six other people he's been assigned to, but he also knows that he's taking someone else's place on a team and is sort of unsure of what exactly will be expected of him. But he doesn't mind Ruby specifically. I'd say so far the environment and attitudes of people on the team bring his reserved side to the surface a bit more than his grumpy, tsun side, since the team is mostly full of low-key and level-headed people—which means he's a little hidden in his shell since he can't just navigate all interactions by being extremely rude and dismissive, but he also doesn't have quarrel with anyone.
He is dating Fuuma! He likes Fuuma a lot and by now he's finally accepted the change from Fuuma to Kamui's twin a while ago. He likes him as he currently is. Something that Ruby changed about Zuko is that he's a lot more willing to accept morally gray/chaotic people in general. He is aware that Ruby can be very dangerous but he won't try to control them, and will do damage control if they lashed out at someone. He knows Fuuma loves Kamui and he has no problem with it, but it took him a while to get to that point.
Swift/Jay is in the book! And Zuko . . . liked him a lot. Still likes him a lot. Jay was the person that offered the most support to Zuko and was there to remind him that he was a good person despite his mistakes/memories and generally pushed to make things more positive. Zuko also tried to give that support back to him. He trusted him a lot and he was getting used to the idea of like holding Jay's hand and sometimes kissing him and cuddling and it was okay!!! They never talked about dating but Zuko made sure Jay knew the situation (about Fuuma) because it was the right thing to do and they were cute. '^'
Outside that hmm. Zuko was a bit attracted to Ling and he's also attracted to Naha (and he's been crushing on her for a long time now)! But not in any way that he would act on, because Zuko isn't very sexual and he's still too awkward about it. SO HIS LOVE'S LIFE IS ONLY SIMPLE BECAUSE HALF OF THE PEOPLE HE LIKES ARE CURRENTLY IN THE BOOK/AWAY, and the person he's dating is . . . Fuuma . . .
TELL ME MORE ABOUT NORIO. I know nothing about him or his canon . . .
MAN. I feel like some of this is tentative and subject to change after more post-heart game threads actually happen, but! Lambda may have reached a point where she doesn't... dislike Erika anymore... The heart game was sort of catalyst she needed in being able to Get Over It, in a sense. Like, nearly everything she saw in the heart was things she had already sort of guessed at and frantically used as ammo to get to her, but actually seeing it laid out in her heart is another thing. She feels like she has a very clear picture of Erika now! Which, for one thing, makes her confident enough that she doesn't feel like she's on the defensive anymore, and gives her more room to step back and look at things a little more calmly. And there were some things in there that struck her as sort of familiar—it's not as if she couldn't relate to certain bits and pieces of it, and that sort of eases the animosity and makes her like her more in a bizarre way... Like she's not going to stop sniping at or trying to one-up her, per se! Because that's what their relationship is founded on and what makes it comfortable in a weird way: TERRIBLE PEOPLE FREELY BEING TERRIBLE AT EACH OTHER. But she's starting to ease out of her resentment, and appreciate the strange companionship that sort of exists there a bit... She feels very good about where she stands with Erika, right now! More confident, if nothing else.
idk if i expressed that in a way that makes any sense but REVERSE
Erika feels... KIND OF WEIRD... about how the post-heart conversation with Lambda went, because on the surface it wasn't that different from their usual conversations, but she felt like Lambda was much more happy about it than usual? Maybe happy is not the best way to put it, but she wasn't as on edge as usual, and rather than it feeling like desperately digging attempts to hurt each other, the conversation felt more like good-natured needling. Which did make her feel like Lambda saw something in her heart to make her feel more confident in where she stands with her. The weird part is that she can't imagine what that would be, because it's not like Erika feels like she has hidden depths or anything. It's not like Lambda could have figured out some truth about her that makes her like her more??
While she doesn't necessarily dislike that situation, especially because of heart game effects, it's very disorienting and it feels like she's still waiting for the other shoe to drop somehow.
Are you still planning on doing Lambda's heart sometime soon? Are there things you can say about it that wouldn't be spoilers...
I am! I'm still hoping to run it during my Spring break (so the beginning of March), as long as nothing appears to be getting in the way of that... It's still in the planning stages where I keep sort of retooling it and shifting things around, but ppprobably there will be branching paths that all lead to the same place, and it'll be a combination of exploradora and mini-puzzles, where the goal is to get the final place in the heart that everything leads to.
SHE WOULD BE EXCESSIVELY CLINGY AND FAWN OVER HER ALL THE TIME. She would be exuberant and follow her everywhere and constantly invade the apartment of whatever team she was on!! ... In truth she'd probably have no idea what exactly to do, because she a) doesn't know all that much about Bern and their history at this point in her memories in truth, b) is very different herself in Aather and Bern's presence would probably be the thing that most forces her to acknowledge that, and c) kind of has a thing going... with Nunnally... But possibly she would just fawn so hard that she doesn't have to think about all of these legitimate issues. And she'd be extremely delighted no matter how complicated the situation was.
Same question for Erika! Especially given heart game effects.
Norio's impressions of Tavros are a bit similar to those he has of Zuko—he's not uncomfortable with him! He also strikes him as pretty laidback and honest, which in turn puts Norio less on edge around him. Norio's still finding his footing so he doesn't really have unreservedly positive impressions of anything yet, but Tavros is someone he's warming up to a little bit faster. (He's also just the kind of person that Norio would feel... bad to be too grumpy at...)
He likes Norio. '^'a H-He's kind of tsun but it's not like I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS... and anyway he can handle tsun so it's not like that was ever an issue in general! He wants to make sure he feels welcomed to Ruby and he's trying really really hard to dump all of the knowledge he has of Aather for Norio so that he knows how things are and how they go. Norio also gets a lot of YOU ARE RUBY SO I WILL NOW DERE FOR YOU right from the start because he loves Ruby and everyone on it. ;w;
S-So what is Narutaru exactly, the most I really know is that it's basically ROCKS FALL EVERYONE SUFFERS AND DIES.
Bbbasically, it's the story of a bunch of deeply disturbed teenagers who develop mindlinks to soul Pokemon that are functionally weapons of mass destruction, and how they handle that. Some of them decide they're going to kill random people! Some of them decide they want to destroy the world! Some of them decide to fight off the other sociopathic children! There's a little bit of a linear plot in there having to do with some of the characters aiming for the destruction of the world, but it's largely a character-driven series about exploring the psyches of a bunch of mentally unstable teens.
AND ROCKS FALL AND EVERYONE DOES SUFFER AND DIE
How are things going for Tavros in the Homestuck love polygon in Aather?
CAT IS THE RUBY MOST LIKELY TO GET TSUNNED AT at this point in time. He's very cheerful, but also very... hard for Norio to read in a way? Like sometimes Norio is unsure if he's making fun of him or not and his default reaction to people like that is tsun! And that is his default disposition towards people with a cheerful disposition in general, really. Not dislike, just... tsun. But that also means he's a little less reserved around Cat, in a certain sense.
He has a pretty good impression of Slate so far! Slate seems pretty sensible and level-headed overall, but also fun to joke around with a little. Cat is a little...unsure of how well he's done being helpful and welcoming, but he wants to keep trying because he wants Ruby to like him and to be a helpful!! and productive!! member of the team. I think it's actually Slate's tsun that's making Cat a little unsure right now... But mostly he just wants to get to know Slate better and keep on being a helper. 'x'
And a question... What did Judai think of Zero's heart? :?
Yes, we definitely should thread them more! ♥ Judai likes Bart so far! He's a fun guy to hang around, seems pretty cool, and they can sort of shounen hero it up together. He's a guy he'd definitely want to seek out to pal around with more.
It's also super cool that he apparently has a fighting robot. Extremely cool.
Vincent~♥ Lambda is completely enjoying her relationship with Vincent so far. She's loving every minute of the game they're playing—it's exciting and fun, and of a flavor she doesn't get much in Aather... She is also a bit interested in him in general; she wants to know more about what makes him tick, uncover more of who he really is.
I-I don't know what game they're playing, and Vincent is too sure of that either . . . But he is enjoying himself! It's something straightforward and easy as it comes off, and he sort of likes having an inside joke as Lambda acts the part of the wilting maiden or however she would describe what she's up to. So, yes, it is a very pleasant relationship that is simple and tons of fun.
Give me the details on Nunnally and Lambda together. :3c
Inside joke is possibly a better word for it! The wink wink nudge aspect of it is fun, and it's a very pleasant and easy relationship on the whole...
Nunnally and Lambda! Well, hm, Nunnally has been very special for Lambda for a long time, because not only are they able to get along and match their wavelengths very well, but Nunnally is also the one who she feels gets her most and has really reached out to her... She's more honest with Nunnally than she is with anyone, and really cares about her a lot. It started to be an actual thing, though, I think, after Pandora's game—that was when Lambda and Shes overrode Nunnally at one point which really hurt and upset her, and then Lambda kind of figured it out and apologized in her own way, which Nunnally appreciated, and in the end Lambda told her that she loved her and just wanted to do whatever makes her happy. Then there was Firebird's trauma game where Lambda was separated from Kunzite and Nunnally got emotionfucked at the end of the game, and Lambda was super possessive and they cuddled in the basement and talked a bit, which eventually led into Nunnally kissing her. They both got flustered and Lambda kissed her back and eventually they just made out.
So there's definitely a thing there, they just haven't explicitly addressed it since and have been going in circles playing lesbian chicken... because they're winners... But Lambda also asked her on a date in the most recent Kunzite post, so!!
L-Lesbian chicken . . . Ah, well, they are both adorable, so it's even cuter when they're together. Or something like that.
As far as Vincent and Naoto goes, there isn't much to say. Erika was a brat as usual, so Vincent decided not to waste his time nor energy on her . . . But he still had a fully completed quest for a date! So, he ran into Naoto and offered it up to her, because who else would he ask, really??? (Sorry, Lambda, but you already had your turn.) He ended up having a very pleasant time until Naoto name-dropped or mentioned something that ended up bringing up Raven. Ssso, he got a little mad! But he reigned it in! Then, Naoto got the third degree for going out with him, and that is about as far as everything has gotten.
Really, Vincent knew not to touch Tiger's Eye at all, but he was innocently doing something for once! And everyone gets all up in arms about it, what is that!!
What's Lambda think of Lelouch . . . And Gilbert, whatever. Give me both if there is anything.
Not much, on the whole! Lelouch she has heard a lot about from Nunnally—about his contract with C.C., that it led to a lot of destruction, that he lied to Nunnally a lot to protect her, and that he died—but she's only talked to him briefly twice and she generally doesn't form super strong opinions of people based purely on secondhand knowledge. She's curious about him, though, at the very least. And I don't think she even knows that Gilbert exists; she knows that Vincent apparently has a brother, but has no idea that he was formerly a member of Peridot.
What has Vincent guessed about Beatrice and Lambda's relationship, if anything?
He knows that they're related to each other in that they're from the same world. More than Erika, he can definitely see where they intersect in having similarities bred from the same environment. After that, he really doesn't dabble too heavily in anyone's world, so he doesn't know their relationship with each other. He'll notice it more if they start shanking each other, ok ok.
Has Lambda explained Umineko to anyone . . . ? How'd that go . . .
Lambda --> Nunnally is pretty much everything I've said in the past, plus... kissing feelings... She loves Nunnally to bits and theoretically would like to pursue something there! She just sort of. Has no idea what she's doing. Because there are complications, and things that should probably be communicated—the fact that Bern exists (since I don't think she ever actually... mentioned her to Nunnally... gj lambda), and what they both expect from it—but Lambda is terrible about directly communicating about her feelings and instead expresses nearly all her genuine feelings through filters of silliness or sadism (though not so much the latter in Aather), so it becomes... endless rounds of lesbian chicken. But she really does love Nunnally a lot!!
Judai --> Lloyd I don't think has changed much. I have failed so hard at every thread in recent history but I THINK THEY SHOULD THREAD MORE ANYWAY.
Lambda thinks Mogget is adorable already. Asshole cats make her kokoro go dokidoki.
NUNNALLY IS BASICALLY THE SAME RE: LAMBDA. Maybe they should have. . . a talk about feelings. . . god are they even capable. . . I think one of them would have to acknowledge that a talk about feelings needs to happen? And then the other one would crack? FEELINGS ACKNOWLEDGING CHICKEN IS EVEN WORSE THAN LESBIAN CHICKEN, THOUGH.
also the same with Lloyd and Judai!! YELLING FRIENDS
Mogget thinks Lambda is tolerable so far but he has a lot of instinctive hostility towards, well, everyone, and he kind of has to work out how to sort that in with his memories and a lot of other weird feelings about his shape and his new situation that he doesn't fully understand! So that might take a while.
Norio is a little unsure of Fuuma. He is pretty pleasant and seems to take things in stride even when Norio's being pretty rude, but in a way that he feels is a little hard to read, so Norio isn't exactly sure what he's thinking. But he's also so low-key that he's hard to act grumpy at, so Norio's mostly just a little awkward...
Fuuma hasn't formed much of an opinion yet! Part of the issue with Fuuma being the way he is . . . is that if someone is tsun or doesn't want to share, he leaves them be. And since Norio seems unsure about everything, he's backed off out of respect for him. So for right now, he's going to let Norio settle a bit and probably let Tavros and Zuko work on him, before poking at him again.
How about Norio's impressions of Aather, since you already got asked about Ruby?
Probably like a 3 or 4, if I had to guess! I think they could actually get along pretty well on a superficial level, but their interactions would probably be pretty PLEASANT PLEASANT SUAVE SUAVE FRONT FRONT.
WE SHOULD THREAD THEM AND SEE WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS, THOUGH...
Great! Judai likes Estelle a lot. She's fun and nice and seems pretty smart and cool! She's looked out for him when she can, they've gotten to work together in games a handful of times, and they get along really well as far he's concerned. She's definitely someone he considers a friend.
Estelle likes Judai a lot too. She thinks he can get a bit reckless but while that does get her to worry on one hand, she kind of admires the courage it takes to try and take the damage too. He's also just a lot of fun to talk to, with no pressure since they're both knights.
Not much, honestly! Judai has the unfortunate tendency to blow off responsibility and not think much of it (he has good intentions, but he's not always the most thoughtful or empathetic). So, for him, being a knight just means he can play with a lot of different teams instead of just one and sometimes he gives out quests! He hasn't given very much thought to the difference between knights and heroes. He helps people out as a knight, sure, but he'd do that anyway!! ... So yes, his identity as a knight is a work in progress.
Norio likes Shade alright... She falls a little into the "harder to read" category so he's a little unsure of her, but she's been very clear about giving him space if he wants it and pretty forthright about everything, which he appreciates. He's a little awkward with her, but he does sort of feel a sense of respect for her already.
She's a little unsure of how to handle him. He doesn't seem to need her or anything from her, which isn't a bad thing but it means there's less of an opening. Mostly at this point she's willing to give him a chance and see how he settles in, and she's willing to develop affection for him.
WARNING: I tend to refer to canon!Naha as he because that's how he presents through moooost of the canon material, and Aather!Naha as she because that's how she tends to identify based on Aather experience, implied canon material, memories recovered, etc.
Oree and Naha have very, very little canon interaction. Oree forms a relationship while Tempa is being punished for his various crimes, and Naha swoops in, threatens to kill her, and eventually compromises that she can live as long a Tempa never sees her again. She really only exists to him through Tempa, and he hates her for making Tempa's life a little nicer.
Naha doesn't actually remember Oree at all in Aather, though. What she does remember is Oree's daughter, and it's pretty easy to put two and two together based on that and some limited contextual information. Her feelings toward Tempa are always pretty conflicted, but due to CIRCUMSTANCES, Naha is less violently inclined toward him here. As a result she still kind of sees Oree as a pawn and a way to hurt Tempa, but it's less of a priority. So she's actually been able to interact with her a little, and while she doesn't like her really, she also has a little respect for her. She seems like a pretty badass lady, in her way.

Oree and Naha have very, very little canon interaction.

She really only exists to him through Tempa, and he hates her for making Tempa's life a little nicer.
Naha doesn't actually remember Oree at all in Aather, though. What she does remember is Oree's daughter, and it's pretty easy to put two and two together based on that and some limited contextual information. Her feelings toward Tempa are always pretty conflicted, but due to CIRCUMSTANCES, Naha is less violently inclined toward him here. As a result she still kind of sees Oree as a pawn and a way to hurt Tempa, but it's less of a priority. So she's actually been able to interact with her a little, and while she doesn't like her really, she also has a little respect for her. She seems like a pretty badass lady, in her way.
