TL;DR cr meme

THE TL;DR CR Meme

It's that time again and why not start it off with a heart warming and tragic foreshadowing gif?

1. Post with your characters - if you have more than one, make a catch all under one header.
2. respond to other people's characters with your characters.
3. They will tell you exactly what their character thinks of your character in depth! Icly or oocly! Make it long, this is teal deer territory after all.
4. React if you wish!
5. You can use this stuff for cr charts or you can even link to something you have written.
6. This is brought to you by irony from one of the more unfriendly characters in game.

HAHAH GOD. SORRY YOU'RE GONNA GET A LOT OF DISJOINTED RAMBLING because I'm tired but I still want to spam you

To this day, Jaime has probably gotten into more disagreements with Wally than anyone else in MOM, save for the people he actually dislikes, and SOMEHOW that means that Wally's his best friend here. He just happens to be endlessly aggravating and incredibly willing to point out Jaime's faults. An important thing to note is that even if someone else pointed the exact same things that Wally did, Jaime wouldn't necessarily take them to heart, but coming from a friend who knows him as well as anyone knows him, and someone he respects? He absolutely takes those sorts of things to heart, which means it annoys him even more. SPEEDSTERS: THE CONSTANT PLAGUE. So yeah, Wally's the dude who consistently gets the most sheer emotion out of Jaime (ANNOYING, SO ANNOYING), which is probably why Wally actually makes such a good friend for him -- he needs that in his life, even if these days, Wally has totally taken the wind out of his sails.

So I think it's important to point out how much Jaime actually respects Wally. He's inexperienced as any teenaged hero, but Jaime's absolutely aware of exactly how much more Wally knows than him, and in all likelihood, how much better Wally is at the whole package than he is. It's not just about sheer strength out there, but about teamwork, organization, ties to the community, working with a mentor, how to speak to civilians, how to work a camera... Wally's got Thoughts about those, and Jaime's a really receptive audience, because his own thoughts on it all are still extremely tentative. Superhero communities??? WELL HE'S GOT HIS CARROT OVER THERE, does that count???? He's got the practical work pretty down pat, but the rest of it is sort of a mystery, and somehow Wally's become his best resource for that. Which means, yeah, Jaime respects the hell out of Wally for what he does (and obviously he's a good enough hero to earn himself one of those statues that mean "yeah this kid died in battle OOPS"), and how much he puts into it. Wally's not like him, and he knows it -- Wally's in the hero gig because he wanted it hard enough, and that's worth an awful lot, even if Jaime doesn't necessarily understand it.

But they've always been sort of friends first and heroes second, which means he does really like Wally. When they're not getting on each other's asses about FeelingsTM, he's an easy guy to hang out with. Wally has a lot of fun, which means everyone around him has a lot of fun too, so if it's 3 AM and he can't sleep, Wally's the guy getting texted, or if he just needs to flop on a couch and play video games for a while, he's there for a lot of that too. He's the guy where Jaime knows he could just call him up, and chances are, Wally'd be there. There's a lot of sappy, sugary stuff that could go here, but basically Wally's a great guy, and Jaime loves the shit out of him.

...but that doesn't change what their whole last-last log was about, which is that Wally deals with things by not dealing with things, and lashing out when he's confronted. Jaime's forgiven Wally, and he will always forgive him (and there were understandable mitigating circumstances), but the kid knows how to hit him where it hurts, specifically because Jaime likes and respects him so much. He's forgiven, but he's not liable to forget, because what Wally has to say means something to him. THE BIGGEST ISSUE THOUGH is that Wally feels like dealing with his death alone is something he should do, and something that's right to do, and that's... worrisome, so he's going to be fussing about that for a good, long time. He kind of wonders if they did the right thing by telling Wally, so it's their job to try to help him deal with it...

...or not deal with it fabulously by trying to avoid his death so they can all stop CRYING ALL THE TIME thank you I'm out I'M STOPPING MYSELF NOW
