THE CR TL;DR MEME

HOW IT WORKS:

1. List your character(s)!
2. Others respond with "what does your character X think of my character Y?" or some variation.
3. Respond to them! Break out those teal deers!
4. Generate some discussion about your CR!
5. PROFIT!

Kyle -> Korra. Just lay it on me, spare nothing.

W E L P.

His feelings are basically: "No."

Having almost exclusively been exposed to her negative traits, he is really, really wary of her. She mashes his buttons in all the wrong ways which he understands isn't her fault and he does his best to control himself, but the fact remains is that he sees her as a very lazy, apathetic, and selfish person, and very, very unsuited to her abilities. Having been human and then saddled with immense responsibility, and having watched colleagues become corrupt, it reads to him as a very bad combination that's not going to lead anywhere good. It angers him that he can't dismiss her because of her power, and he feels a bit of pity that whatever lesson she learns, when she does, it'll be harsh and unforgiving, but he can't really bring himself to care on the level that Jim appears to. There's a brief glimmer of "What does Jim even see in her" but Kyle's experience trumps his and he's really only tolerating her because Jim asked him to.

Is it wrong that I like it's not as simple as "Friend of Jim is a friend of mine?" because I really do.

[imaginate]

oh no that's so true

Kyle respects Jim's choices in that usually because Jim is a pretty decent judge of character? But in this case he's like "no, dude, you just overidentified, I really can't see any redeeming qualities".

I love complicated CR like this /chinhands

fff

the interesting thing to me is that canon!Kyle and ts!Kyle react so differently to her. Canon!Kyle would liked her a lot more, but in TS he's much, much less patient.

And she pushes people's patience without even trying. Of course, she has a low threshold for patience too, so that should help everything! \o/

What makes it even better is that they run in a lot of the same CR circles, and that just tickles me to no end.
