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.

Hello, Robert.

[pushtheboundaries]

what's up doc



There's sort of two levels, with how he relates to Crane; the professonal and the personal. They're both pretty similar, to be honest. On one, he is seeing Crane for therapy, and has enough respect for the man to take his advice and counsel and actually listen, despite it possibly making him uncomfortable. What's more, he's inclined to take what praise he can get there, and value it all more preciously so because - in the context of the doctor/patient - he has to (or at least, is subconsciously making) himself look up to Crane to help him see the things he can't.

On the personal level- Crane is a very intelligent man, and with an academic/professory past as well, they have a good few shared experiences. Outside of the therapy, Robert sees him as a younger peer, and respects him a bit more than he would most- possibly due to the whole therapy-on-the-side thing, possibly due to that whole there is so much opportunity here they seem to agree upon. (Even if it's in...different ways.)

I'm really looking forwards to where this all goes, because until it all blows up in his face, he does trust Crane - to a degree. Short of stronger manipulations, there are only so many people he fully trusts, but Crane's about on the best level as anyone could normally hope for at this point. It's not so much a suspicion/distrust as a reluctance to admit things, and with the fact that he does discuss at least some of it in their sessions, well...

Nothing much.

I think the common threads we've mentioned - intellect, personal motivations, a human reason for villainy - are the reason Robert's one of Crane's most positive relationships in the game.

Positive in Crane's understanding of the word, mind.

Their conversations. The mutual love of science. The fact they're scientists with a shared academic background. It's terrible Crane will turn on him - because though it's the natural thing for him to do, he's ruining something positive in his life, rather than letting it grow.

He won't take Robert's advice after August. He won't listen to anything he says, but it'll set them up for deeper CR in the future that will draw on things central to their characters. It strikes me as interesting that Robert might be the next person Crane gravitates to, once his depression about Batman kicks in. Because we all know how he is with Bruce, yet Robert has everything mentioned above, plus he's the same age as Crane's father, almost.

HORRIBLE.

Robert's going to feel betrayed on some level, but at the same time, seeing a bit of himself in Crane- if he believes he himself can be redeemed, then he has to believe that Crane can, to. And yeah, he's not going to be stupid enough to think that it's his ability nor duty to do it, but- someone at least has to try, right?

Or at least try and keep him in control.




now remember the safeword is 'what the fuck do you think we need a safeword for that implies safe and that is the opposite of what we're going for here'

[restingstitchface]

Yes on both counts.

And that could hurt Robert so hard, if he realises Crane's too far gone to be redeemed. Especially since you said he sees a bit of himself in Crane, who's like a younger peer. Though, I wonder what his view is there on the state of Crane's mental health being responsible for it, versus the fact he's just a completely shitty person.

Who the fuck needs a safeword? The safeword should simply be 'FIRE AT WILL' literally. Ok so Crane might enjoy using fire. Don't hate.
