[MEME] relationship questions!
shobogan
(spoilers all of my characters are romantic disasters)
shobogan
(except for barge!babs)
Becky
twelve: 9, 16, 46 (because ahahahahah - don't answer that one)
ᴛʀᴀsʜᴍᴏᴜᴛʜ
babs: 16, 33, 48
shobogan
9: LMAO well, shockingly enough: trust
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
9,16,21,26 dealer's choice
shobogan
trust to either follow his lead or question him depending on what has to be done, to not take advantage either of him or the TARDIS, to ,
shobogan
the placement of this enter key is the one thing about this keyboard that fucks me up, damn
shobogan
ANYWAY: to not, necessarily, always make the right decision or be the best example but always, always keep trying
shobogan
to push him when he needs to be pushed and support him when he needs that instead, to not be scared off by him or the life he leads
shobogan
he doesn't necessarily trust romantic partners more than friends, but that foundation has to be there either way
shobogan
at least for a stable, consistent relationship
shobogan
as opposed to, you know, the master where all the standard rules go out the window
Becky
I cannot tell you how much Crais is flummoxed by even being alluded to as stable and consistent. And yet... he kinda is. Weird
shobogan
HE KINDA IS
shobogan
(also, i mean, consider the comparison here)
shobogan
16. man...once he's that dedicated it would take a fuck of a lot
shobogan
"do you think i care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference"
shobogan
he did believing that missy had walked away, and did that shatter the connection? no, i really don't think it did. (and thirteen's comic backs me up on this.)
shobogan
*died
skipthedemon
.... still mad about lack of follow up to Missy. Not that anyone asked
shobogan
aren't we all
shobogan
honestly once twelve truly loves someone i don't know if there's actually a dealbreaker and that's - concerning
Becky
...Oh look, Scott
Becky
Remember Erskine? LOOOOL
shobogan
*oh&
shobogan
dammit ampersand ruining my epiphany moment
shobogan
man a lot of it comes from the same place too
Becky
It does. It really, really does
shobogan
guilt, loneliness, responsibility, sheer stubborness
Becky
Yep.
shobogan
just got to 46 and now i'm cackling thanks
Becky
You're welcome!
shobogan
ᴛʀᴀsʜᴍᴏᴜᴛʜ
16 BABS ON THE OTHER HAND
shobogan
honestly? condescension and disrespect
shobogan
it wasn't romantic but that's a huge part of why she bailed on bruce, and gotham, altogether, and in a relationship....nah, nope, fuck no
shobogan
if that starts happening and isn't just a one-off stressed thing, she is absolutely done
shobogan
there's also...mm, with dick the dealbreaker was him basically self-destructing and refusing to let her help and she just couldn't sit there and watch it happen, with an extra slice of "sometimes you look at me and i think you see batgirl instead"
shobogan
(which i didn't really...buy from dick, honestly, so i tend to interpret that as projection on her part)
shobogan
she's really not good at feeling helpless
shobogan
33. fighting crime
shobogan
SECOND PLACE would still be something adrenaline-filled, like that time dick took her skydiving
shobogan
48. she refuses this dichotomy
shobogan
ranking the people you love is stupid, and the ways in which they're important differ on an individual level, not whether it's romantic or not
shobogan
(and lbr everyone comes in second to the mission anyway)
shobogan
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
9 for Babs: she's actually with twelve on this one, it's trust. it's knowing with all of your heart that you can rely on someone, that they won't abandon you or condemn you, that your secrets are safe with them
spooky queer
26, 33, and 46 for thirteen x3
shobogan
26. Probably their - general energy? Like, how they're speaking, how they hold themselves, what they're focused on, how they're tackling whatever problem they have because lbr if she's around there's probably a problem
shobogan
she notices looks more than twelve does but it's still not her primary focus
shobogan
33. going somewhere ridiculous and chaotic and beautiful, running for their lives, bonus points for doing something nerdy
shobogan
46. man she's one of the few doctors where i'd generally say dominant, though that could flip depending on the person and the circumstances
shobogan
OH AND back to
ⲱⲓⲧⲥⲏⲩ ⲱⲟⲙⲁⲛ
's because i totally lost track before, and also 16. is for thirteen
shobogan
and it's "razing our world to the ground you bastard"
shobogan
i think she's a lot less forgiving than twelve in general tbh
shobogan
it's funny because on the surface she's sweeter and gentler but dig down enough and she's a bit colder
shobogan
when she tells graham that if he takes a life they're finished, she means it, whereas i don't think twelve would do that
shobogan
(granted, i ALSO think she has a chip on her shoulder about companions being too much like her in bad ways)
shobogan
21. for most of my characters this is yes, for madelyne this is "lol no"
shobogan
love has failed her and it sucks and you're all stupid
spooky queer
i love all of these

Babs, 24, not entirely rhetorically
