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

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.

Ken's relationship with Magicman isn't exactly recent, but their closer involvement with each other definitely is. He doesn't have any personal attachment to the guy, but that doesn't make him any less important than everybody else. Magicman is a friend of his friends and someone he's known since his early days in the imPort towns. And to Ken, whose life so far has been loss after loss after things he never had to begin with, that's quite significant. He knows there's no permanence to anything he manages to grasp -- to him, having anything is like holding water in his hands -- but his first talk with Magicman shed a light onto him that he had lost sight of before: He can fight for the things he wants to keep.
There's no fighting the entire universe. If he gets Ported out, there's probably nothing he can do about it. He'll return to that night in the alleyway with one dead Shinjiro and an empty stomach and nothing else. When his mom died he was able to hold on to her memories, at least, but when he loses this world he'll lose even the memories. He won't even know that he's missing anything, as far as he knows. And while that hurts and makes him feel as powerless as he had felt on the night of Shinjiro's death, the idea that he could fight to protect his world while he's here is something that had more impact than Ken even realizes. The last time he fought, he sparred with Hisoka in the woods without a care for what happened. If Hisoka ended up killing him that day, that might have been a relief, and he was convinced that his existence was merely a destructive one. Now, Magicman's opened his eyes to the option of protecting.
He and Magicman are totally different in their morals. Ken's always been about balance and fairness, and his world was black and white in that until very recently. It would have never occurred to him to think, "I'd do anything to protect what's important to me" with 'anything' including putting other people at risk. And Ken realizes that Magicman's attitude is an inherently selfish one, but he doesn't associate that with 'good' or 'bad.' That's a choice Magicman made, where he valued his immediate world over the good of the entire world. And that's quite new and refreshing, too. It's new and refreshing and thrilling and frightening. But the idea of being able to put his foot down on something like that is inspiring to a kid who's lacking in direction. You've handed him a dangerous knife, dude.

at the very least he'll try to protect you from the worst damage of being a reckless idiot for the sake of people you care about
