Question meme

[imaginemeandyuu]

I meant to do a question meme when I hit 11,111 but then I overshot somehow...

SO UH QUESTION MEME. For Alma Karma and Kubota Makoto (and Ur'ghaste or general RP I guess if you want).

He pretty genuinely likes Alma. It's not like he doesn't understand how awful akuma are and can be, but Alma just . . . isn't. He's never seen him be anything but kind (or at least hasn't seen any unkind behavior that was significant enough to stick with him at all). The biggest factor really is just that he has such a high impact on Kanda. Anyone who can manage to get as close to him as Alma's able to just naturally wins huge points.

He sees Alma as a guy who is insecure but is working hard to find a sense of security for himself. And it's not that he thinks he shouldn't be insecure really—he is some kind of abomination, and Nova respects that he seems to be taking that fact seriously and has taken steps to maintain his own control over himself, like with priesting to Zhen Ji. It's because of things like that that he wants to support him so much and reassure him that the direction he's moving in is a good one. He's practically there as far as Nova's concerned.

Their latest talk following ExoAlma's arrival moved him towards more of a friend in Nova's mind too. He always feels very out of place talking to other people about their doubles, like there was something weirdly wrong with him for not being interested in the idea of ever having one. And though he wishes Alma hadn't had to face another him like that, it was comforting to see someone else who could relate to him in that matter. Especially when he considers Alma a pretty stable guy (for what he's been through.) It's not like he thinks he and Alma aren't all kinds of messed up, but it's more soothing for him to think he's not the only one so messed up. A sense of "yes there IS someone I can talk to \o/"

That said he was really very serious about not standing for ExoAlma doing anything to mess up Alma's place here. He's seen the kindness Alma's capable of and how much he just wants to be that person, and Nova wants him to be able to be that too. It turned his protective streak on for Alma. He does respect him enough to stay out of it and let him try to handle it first, but he doesn't want to just stand on the sidelines if things do escalate.

He also appreciates Alma's handling of his fight with Kanda. :|a At the time he wasn't really hearing it because he was wrapped up in his own panic and feelings, and he still doesn't entirely know the extent of how involved Alma was in everything, but he knows enough to know it could've gone much worse if he hadn't stuck his hand into the mess. And when dealing directly with Nova he did it in a way that didn't really make Nova feel talked down to or anything, and he really appreciates when that happens. It's a hard note for people to hit with him, so when someone does it's an awesome moment for him. (When he takes the time to think back on it later.)

So basically just really likes the guy and respects how he's handling his situation and how he approaches the situations/fights others might be having, and wants to support him because of that.

How is Alma handling two Yuus so far?

Alma is KIND OF ENJOYING having two Yuus? He did not anticipate this! It was unexpected. At first it was pretty awkward because his relationship with both of them was just enough different that he was afraid of putting his actions towards one on the other, or reading too much into it because of the other, or things like that. Basically, it was romantic with Guil and platonic with Kanda for a fairly long time and he was a bit like :'D because his feelings were the same either way, it was what he got back inr eturn that was different. It's been a while IC now that it's resolved into a very similar relationship, though (You're my beeest friiiend / and I loooove youuuu) and so he's stopped worrying so much about the signals he's giving off or whether he's pushing one too hard because of how he acts with the other or things like that.

The two areas he does still have some stress over are ironically total opposites. The first one is that he knows they're jealous over each other, at least a little, and will occasionally snipe if one is closer than the other or if they kiss him in front of the other, and they get mad at the other being jealous. WHICH IS ALL REASONABLE but Alma's like ":'D oh god hhhhhahhh". The second is that he doesn't like to be apart from either so he occasionally switches up where he sleeps just to make sure that, like, Kanda doesn't think that he'd just rather be sleeping at Guil's side, just because that's the arrangement that developed.

Mostly he's pretty comfortable and he likes the attention from them both, though he still hasn't stopped thinking it's kind of weird ///

How are Gokudera's romantic relationships going lately?
