: gosh JUNO FIRST HUH it's funny cos i have thoughts for both Maya really does see him as a grumpier Phoenix, probably how she'd regard Nick if she had ever gotten to see him at Hobonick phase
She actually has a lot of respect for him which is why she still calls him "Mr. Steel" to people who aren't him; it's friendliness toward him, professionalism about him

: GOODNESS okay so Maya's. Maya's never seen Lust as a replacement sister so to speak but she has been strongly reminded of her she's gotten past the discomfort of it, though, and is quite enamored with Lust in the idolizing sense she wants to look like a RESPONSIBLE ADULT in front of Lust bc she wants Lust's approval just....
cos she didn't really get that from her family??? or from any professional women in the lawscape esp considering the only woman peer she ias is Franziska who is Maya's age and having her own adequacy problems

: god i've actually had to think about this one a lot bc obviously their different canonpoints and Eugene's canon distrust of her after the whole Deal, but like it's also evident he's WANTED to have her as a friend since the beginnin
like obviously he doesn't like the idea of people not liking him he wants to be popular Or Else Fuck You Guys He's Still Cool bc leftover from thieving days but like genuinely he wants people to like him
so really he has just been trying to reframe his thoughts, that something must have happened to her that made her different, bc this is the Cass he remembers and knew and could have fun with
and he wants to keep that Cass, but deep deep deep down he's terrified that that darkness will return AND I THINK HIS FEELINGS ON THE MOONDROP, AS A PERSON WHO LOVED TO STEAL ARTIFACTS, IS ALSO KEY HERE but i don't want to ramble on about that just yet
bUT she definitely thinks Jupiter is among the cool girls... Maya didn't get to hang out with anyone near her age in canon t b h and even though she's 21 now she looks young and cooperates really well with teens so like

: THIS ONE'S CUTE TOO first of all i can't believe Mia and Maya are collecting baby sisters but second of all, Mia really do have some feelings about Erika bc she like. FIRST OF ALL SHE'S A CUTE WEIRDO so she appeals to Mia in that way
but Mia can also see there's something more ther and it sparks her curiosity but also inspires a sense of sympathy, she can see there's hurt in erika too
maya shoving herself into his life and getting him to do stuff like that is helpful to him and again reminds him of VIBRANCE and LIFE and the reason why he stays alive
he keeps meeting all these genki girls that are kind of worse off than him whether he knows it or not, and THEY aren't beign the kind of shitbag he is, so it's kind of like, buck up cowboy
to skip over sisters for just a moment the same reasons he likes maya are why he likes sayori t b h EVEN THOUGH HE'S BEING MUCH MORE SOCIAL AS A CAT, the whole reason why Spike doesn't act like he's into these types of people is because of how deeply he ends up caring about people who truly, genuinely live
i joke but it really be like that. Sayori is a little more similar to Maya than Erika and thus easier for Mia to read, and so especially during the event, reminds Mia of her sister and esp like the memories they had growing up, trying to do good for each other despite their circumstances
and the possibility of Maya's death, and the reality of what she had to do for Maya to survive Bridge to the Turnabout, something her Maya doesn't remember
her little sister deserves the happiness no one ever gave to her during their lives and Mia's so angry at her mother now and like... just been given the chance to really realise how things went
i know i mentioned in group chat once before but Mia's not even sure they'll survive and if she ever gets the chance she's really not even going to tell Maya that they'll make it through just that whatever happens, wherever they go, she'll be right there with her, just as she always was
there's a bit in one of dandy's recent tags where he's thinking about the shit that's happened and all like juno'd have more to pay if maya'd gotten infected and me to myself like that'd just play out as maya having to defend juno from both dandy and juno himself
Maya really does see him as a grumpier Phoenix, probably how she'd regard Nick if she had ever gotten to see him at Hobonick phase
she's gotten past the discomfort of it, though, and is quite enamored with Lust in the idolizing sense
she wants to look like a RESPONSIBLE ADULT in front of Lust bc she wants Lust's approval just....
she's also Certain that Maya feels for Sayori as Mia felt for Lana because of those poemsWEEPSjust that whatever happens, wherever they go, she'll be right there with her, just as she always was
and me to myself like that'd just play out as maya having to defend juno from both dandy and juno himself
