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.

Jaime adores Ellie. That much has been consistent from the beginning, and it's not likely to change, not without damn good reason. I'll probably outline that in my next blurb, but I think it's starting to become rapidly clear to him how not okay she is. He's already known that she's a troubled soul -- there's a certain kind of sadness to her that's perfectly understandable, given what he knows about her past; she's lost her eye, lost her family and friends and entire life to a scourge that she can't see any end to. He's always known all that, but having her talk about leaving Isaac behind to fight alone and seeing into her dreams really makes it clear just how much the events of the past haunt her, and how the knowledge of what she has waiting for her in the future continues to haunt her. He doesn't agree with what she'd been planning to do, or how protective she seems to be over Isaac when they're supposed to be taking care of each other - which he's made pretty clear - but he can't say he doesn't understand it.
So yeah, he worries, but he doesn't know how to help. She's already told him so much more than he'd expect her to tell someone she sees as a kid, and he's starting to figure out how limited he is when it comes to helping with his friends' mental health. Which isn't to say he doesn't try, but gosh!!! HOW DO YOU HELP PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE PROBLEMS???? It's not like he can tell her not to be so worried about all the things she's worried about because it only makes sense. As it turns out, rational fears are a little harder to deal with, so while he'll be giving it thought, his focus will be on being there for her, and trying to make her happy in the here and now, as much as he's able.
As for things that have nothing to do with poor Ellie's many, many issues? He adores her. He thinks she has a real appreciation for life that Jaime's never had (he's spoiled for the nice, everyday things that she can't take for granted), and when he's with her, it's like he can look through her eyes for a second. Even after so much, she's still a kind, good, gentle soul to him, and Jaime really treasures that. She also treats him like he's... as old as he is, which is kind of foreign to him after all this time, but there's an embarrassed part of him that kind of likes it. He's used to having his family around to fuss, and the fact that there's someone that will, even if he doesn't need it, is kind of nice. He really enjoys her company, and she's easily one of his favourite people.
He just worries, that's all.
