THE TL;DR MEGA MEME BONANZA

Comment with a list of your characters, receive questions, or just tl;dr on your own unprompted! Here's some suggestions. ◘ What does your character think of mine? ◘ What goes on during our handwaved CR? How much handwaved CR do we have? ◘ Canon information, for those unfamiliar with your canon. ◘ All sorts of headcanon questions-- sleeping positions, childhoods, past sexual or romantic history, etc. ◘ Would your character date mine? ◘ If they were put under a truth spell, what would come out? ◘ Where do you want to go with your character, story arc wise? ◘ Give an example of their daily routine in Keeliai. ◘ Who do they miss most from home? Would they go back if they could? ◘ What kind of music do you listen to while tagging? What does your character listen to ICly? ◘ Elaborate on what you've been working on improving in your writing style lately. ◘ What would their daemon spirit animal be, as from His Dark Materials? ◘ What have been your favorite threads with me? ◘ What do their dragons look like in Flight Rising? And much, much more! Go wild! I recommend making a plain top level comment with just your list of characters, and replying to yourself to fill out things on your own.

That all makes perfect sense to me. (It is so rough playing characters stuck in despair.) Any comments on the differentness of his relationships here as compared to at home?

[epigrammatical]

Home vs. Keeliai: for one thing, he doesn't rule the societal roost the way he does in London. He hasn't got a rival like Oscar, but he hasn't got much of anything to be a rival over, and so there's a certain amount of big-fish-small-pond syndrome going on.

He also has business associates now. This is slightly horrifying to him and he stil refuses to think of himself as a tradesman, but he does actually like some of his coworkers and the like (e.g. Stocking, Arthur). As long as he doesn't dwell on the whole working-for-a-wage thing, he can cope. But he definitely feels the difference in how he relates to people like that here, versus at home.

Then there's Bryn, with whom he is repeating some of the same patterns of behaviour that he used with Dorian. But there's the added frisson in the fact that she's a woman, and Henry still has a shitty attitude about women at heart. (Some of the things that have happened between them have not helped this attitude, not that Bryn is necessarily aware of that.) She's actually quite unclassifiable according to his usual schema for women in society—but at least he enjoys it?

BUSINESS ASSOCIATES. The dreaded. It is interesting to me. Such a very different situation and so yes, it seems like a lot of these really are not like the sorts of relationships he's been able to have before. (It's a growing experience, Henry!)
