OOC: Character relationship post

[tono_twerp]

I've hesitated to put up one of these, since there isn't a single character in Adstring that Tamaki doesn't like a whole lot. If he's talked to you, he likes you.

If, however, you want more details on why, comment with your characters and I promise I will get round to describing Tamaki's thoughts on them. Sooner or later.

I don't know why, but I want details on Tamaki's thoughts about B.

[tono_twerp]

B: He has a hard time understanding B - he is charming and friendly, but occasionally he does strange things like "joke" about having killed people, or joke in a very sexual way, which Tamaki thinks is very embarrassing. However, B has been consistently nice to him, and Tamaki considers him a friend. He is also very grateful to B for being one of the few people in Adstring that seem to really enjoy being flirted with, and Tamaki takes great pleasure in doing so. He also thinks B is rather beautiful.

[jam_lover_13]

It doesn't belong in this topic, but... I'm confused.
Does Tamaki only like girls or not?
He says he's straight, but enjoyed kissing B and slept with a man, if I'm not mistaken xD"

[tono_twerp]

He has said he's straight? Could you link me to that comment, because I need to re-read it; I've forgotten all about that. Heh, I have a terrible habit of not remembering what I've had my character say and do.

As for his sexuality: basically, Tamaki likes people. When he meets someone new, he's friendly and flirtatious; if the flirtatiousness is welcome, he continues flirting, because he thinks it's fun, and he's convinced he's good at it. The aim of the flirtation is to make the other person feel good about themselves, and Tamaki never, ever says anything he doesn't mean - so when he's trying to convince the person he's flirting with that he or she is the most interesting, attractive, intelligent, charming and sexy person in the universe, he also convinces himself of it, and believes it, utterly. This attraction lasts as long as the flirtation does, no longer, though with repeated flirtations, the sense of attraction of course returns. It takes a lot to cause him to have long-term feelings of attraction; feelings of friendship are

D'aaaaw. Silly Tamaki.

I'd like to know Hitsugaya and Killua out of curiosity, but only if you want to. <3

[tono_twerp]

Killua was originally a rather disrespectful brat who needed to learn to treat his elders and betters (and more-beautifullers) with appropriate deference, but then he turned out to know all kinds of cool things about magic, and he also seemed to have some slight vulnerabilities, and he appreciates the importance of friendship, so now he's utterly charming and interesting, and the impishness is just an indication that he's in need of a adult mentor, and isn't it lucky Tamaki's there to fill the role?

Hitsugaya! Gruff charmer and kind-hearted but tough fighter! He finds Hitsugaya a little hard to understand (the shinigami's responses to his flirtation attempts are, on the whole, quite satisfying, even if the signals he receives are mixed) but he finds Hitsugaya easy and enjoyable to talk to, and is rather intrigued by him. His manly bluntness, aloof distance, and probable martial skills are all kinds of impressive, and he's sure Hitsugaya would be a success at the host club, possibly as "the misunderstood type", that needs a patient

[kill_joo_ded]

Tamaki as an adult mentor is all kinds of wonderful, and Hitsugaya in the Host Club is reviving all sorts of ideas that never should have surfaced in the first place.

You are an amazing person. <33

[tono_twerp]

I look forward to hearing about the host-club related ideas! I'm glad to have inspired unspeakable notions. ^^ And I think the development between both Killua & Tamaki and Hitsugaya & Tamaki show every indication of going off in fun directions.

Arienette and Kurotsuchi? ♥

[tono_twerp]

Arienette is rather confusing. She doesn't respond to his flirtation volleys, so he is gradually starting to act towards her like she's a friend, though he does remember his manners now and again, which manifests in humiliatingly unsuccessful attempts at behaving towards her the way he's used to behaving towards girls. He really appreciates her for her good sound sense, however - she's the only person in Adstring who appears to share his perception of reality. He likes their conversations a lot, except on the occasions where they take frightening turns (oh noes! He's forgotten something, so he might be going blind!). He's also a little worried about her, and will probably persist in attempting to feed her. It wouldn't take very much for him to start thinking of her in little-sister terms.

Kurotsuchi also belongs to the "hitherto unsuccessful flirtation object" category. He accepts on a theoretical level that Kurotsuchi probably thinks he's perfectly happy on his own, but this clashes so fundamentally with the way Tamaki's world works

[cornered_circle]

...aww. The idea of Tamaki appreciating Arienette for her sense is really cute.

And I think that's the only positive Mayuri will ever get. >.> Poor Tamaki though, trying to learn from him.

[tono_twerp]

But she is very sensible! He has no trouble understanding her line of reasoning at all!

And aw, poor Mayuri, being so unappreciated. ^^ And Tamaki is learning, even if it's only by negative example!

[proudambassador]

Heeheeheehee.

Gojyo, Carmen, and Kenpachi please?

[tono_twerp]

Gojyo: was originally a rather handsome and sadly flirt-resistant man, who was interesting and easy to talk to. Then he suddenly turned out to know all kinds of things relating to sex so now he's a thoroughly embarrassing but interesting person to know and maybe to ask for advice and quiz in great and morbidly-fascinated detail, though Tamaki will probably try his damnedest not to admit that that's what he's doing.

Kenpachi is huge and handsome and gruff, and oddly inspiring of trust. Tamaki likes him for his apparent forthrightness, which is a refreshing and slightly baffling sort of behaviour. Kenpachi is rather attractive, and Tamaki was glad of the chance to kiss him, and although the lack-of-response-to-flirtation is getting sadly common in his dealings with Adstring residents, it wasn't any less disappointing in this case.

Carmen is a bit of a mystery to him. She's an elegant, beautiful, sophisticated lady who ought to appreciate his flirtations, but doesn't. Her bluntness is intimidating for being so unfamiliar, and he

[heavenlykunai]

Heehee, nice. :D Thanks!

I need to finish Carmen's post.

[tono_twerp]

Anytime!

Yes. Yes, you do! ^^

[gunshin_tsukiga]

...I would ask, but they've never met. I bet Ichigo is glad for that.

[tono_twerp]

I look forward to all kinds of interesting explosions when they do meet. ^^

[gunshin_tsukiga]

Yep. Expect mostly the violent kind.

[tono_twerp]

Hee! Ichigo doesn't like compliments?
