Existing & Desired CR Meme

1. Post a comment with the characters you play!


2. People reply, either with cr that you have, or cr that you want to see develop!


3. Reply and tl;dr about that relationship, or where you'd like to see it go, or both!


4. Have a SMASHING time!


(Aka, this is a meme that is kind of like... the child of a tl;dr meme and a cr meme? Do you want to gush at someone else, and tell them how much their character means to your character? This is the place! Are you new, or settling in with a new character and want to brainstorm potential relationships and where your characters could go? This is the place!! Have you been slammed lately in real life, and want to make some plans before you ease back in? This is the place!!! Everyone just come and chat and share feelings :3)

So, Nunnally kinda has like, four different tiers that people work through as she gets to know them. At first there's just liking someone-- and let's be honest, this one is easy. Next step is her respecting them in their given roll, whatever it is they attempt to do. Then there's fondness, which is where someone begins to become important to her, which culminates in deep trust.

Hange is firmly breaking into the fondness level, which is actually a much harder task than it seems. She's always liked Hange as a person. She finds her enthusiasm and energy to be uplifting, and would happily listen to her talk for hours. And as a captain, she respects Hange-- she's firm, competent, and decisive when she needs to be, but is obviously concerned for her crew and is a caring person. These are all things that Nunnally notices and admires about Hange :')

But what really made the biggest break to the next level was the way that Hange reacted to Nunnally's return, which touched her profoundly, I can't even emphasize it enough... It's just... haha, I'm trying to figure out how to best summarize it. Nunnally seems like a girl who really wants to belong somewhere. While she always had her brother growing up, he was her only family, he was the one that gave her a place to belong. But that small sense of family that she had was ripped so violently from her, it left a very painful scar that she didn't realize she had. But leaving a group that she was already starting to feel fond for, and then being told that she would be wanted there? That even though she doesn't serve a practical purpose, they still want her there? It made her so happy, and she's eternally grateful for that kindness that Hange extended to her. She's always had a fondness and loyalty towards the Red Fish and its crew, but literally it's only going to climb from here into family territory some day for her.
