Not related to the contents of this blog, but Friendly Reminder that people can like or dislike a character without it being a reflection of their morals. I'll use Osiris as an example since I've seen several posts about him recently.
Osiris is both popular and controversial in the D2 community. Some people like him because of the representation he brings to the game (aka he's old, POC, gay and Jewish). Some like him because he's more complicated / multi-faceted than he lets on; some like him because he's knowledgeable like Ikora and Asher Mir; some simply like him because he's a visually striking character.
And some people don't like Osiris. Maybe his canonical arrogance and/or stubbornness is too much for them. Maybe they didn't like his characterization in Curse of Osiris and Lightfall did nothing to change that. Maybe they hate his bird-themed design. Maybe they just find him annoying for whatever reason.
Unless someone says something like, "I hate Osiris because Bungie made him gay*," their (positive or negative) opinion of a fictional character is not automatically a reflection of their morals.
*(Bungie didn't "make" Osiris gay, I'm just repeating what people usually say. πŸ™ƒ)
I thought we were past the "liking heroes or minorities = good morals irl, liking villains = bad morals irl" mindset, but I should've known that fandom never changes. 🫠 So here's a Friendly Reminder that you are free to like/dislike/love/hate any character for any reason, regardless of what anyone says, as long as you aren't a jerk about it!

πŸ‘Œ Danny and BEL
Tumblr media
I feel like they have a very weird relationship, because obviously Bel wants to keep Danny safe, because Danny being around means he has something to feed off of Robin, but on the other hand: Danny's a shit lord. I don't know how tolerant he'd be of his escapades or careless behavior when it comes to some of his stories.
That being said I think Danny could probably convince Bel to do stupid things for a quick laugh. Nothing too bad of course, just something they could both laugh over eventually. Or at least Danny thinks they will- he doesn't know how demons work.

πŸ‘Œ Tarhos and Haru
Tumblr media
Very specific for monster verse, but werewolf Tarhos has me in an iron grip right now but:
Haru probably met Tarhos through Robin since he doesn't go into the city often if at all and it was probably really awkward, because Tarhos has been wandering the forest for close to a thousand years good luck getting him to wear clothes when he's a big dog most of the time, but still I'd imagine he was interesting enough to hang out with.
Drinking in the woods learning about how dumb the time Tarhos grew up in was.... tracing his scars... touching his teeth trying to ignore how large his hands are on his waist. He never wants to stop thinking about it. Tarhos is very fond of him, same with Alejandro, Durkos and Sander.
I'd also like to think eventually Tarhos either gets way more comfortable in the city enough that he gets so much fur in Haru's carpet or Haru moves to that cabin his family owns so it's less loud for his poor old boyfriend.

πŸ‘Œ Viktor and Robin
Tumblr media
Viktor is the kind of person to think he's the smartest person in the room at all times, Robin is very keenly aware of this and is very aware that he is one of the few people he sees as almost an equal. He's also very VERY aware of how much he lies to cover his ass. He's probably also been around to eavesdrop on one of the many arguments Viktor's had with Jayce since they were back on speaking terms again and he knows just how unwell Viktor actually is.
Though he also knows trying to help him will just result in him losing a friend.
Tumblr media
πŸ‘ŒAita and Haru
Tumblr media
These two definitely hang out pretty much every weekend. Much like Robin, Haru has to listen to his complaints, but unlike Robin Haru gets to hear about his even dumber ones like how he showed his tits to a guy on tinder and they blocked him. They probably met working in the same area on their break and bonded over having the same profession. They definitely show off and compare their work and I'm sure Haru cringes at how many needles Aita uses for his work just because of how consistent black has to be for his style.
Aita also lives by the nymph gatherings, he'd really try to convince Haru to go lay around in the woods naked with him drinking wine with the fae and forest spirits. That's just him. He loves them.
