most of anna's is just gonna be that april and andy gif from the op but hit me up all the same

[flametheif40]

Al and Lina. and Anna if you feel like it :)

[hauntedsavior]

anna knows that al isn't a kid but she still Does Not Understand how kids keep getting drawn to her like this. she is not a role model and should not be looked at as one. she's a trash monster.

lina just wants al to be okay :( she knows that he's got a whole bunch of stuff in his life but she also knows that the circumstances of one's birth do not determine who they are as a person. she thinks that he's much too hard on himself and doesn't really seem to care that he gets scary when he gets angry, because so does she and so do a lot of people she knows. above everything else, and especially right now, she's glad he's still here when the world seems to be falling to pieces around her and she's losing the people she loves left and right. he's good and she needs to remember he's there.

Anna and Derek?

[hauntedsavior]

okay like there's no nice way to say this, but honestly anna is, like, a hair's breadth away from cold-cocking derek at basically all times. she doesn't think he's capable of reading situations and reacting like a regular normal human person would, she's still pissed about the dream because it still doesn't feel like a dream to her, and she doesn't feel like he cares about her or listens to her when she talks.

but she doesn't think any of it (except the dream) is on purpose, usually, so she's willing to tolerate him and acknowledge when he does actually say or do something useful, and whether she likes it or not he is still here. so that means she has a duty to try to keep him safe because of who she is as a person. he's just, like. he's so Much, sometimes.

I love this response. Anna has amazing patience with Derek.

Lina and Shuji, Anna and Shinji?

[hauntedsavior]

shinji is a CHILD, anna can't be friends with a CHILD, she'll fill his head with curse words and bad ideas about buying swords and not going to school, this is AWFUL. no but for real she's like. she's torn up that retrospec would decide to wreck the life of somebody who hasn't even had the chance to wreck his life on his own yet, just because that seems, like, really messed up, right? he's like nanashi but smaller and without a gun. and she doesn't exactly have a maternal or sororal instinct towards him, but she also just, like, definitely doesn't want a kid to get hurt in all of this. so she's probably going to fight a little harder to keep him safe, even if she's pretty sure he can defend himself.

lina just wants to be a better friend to shuji. he means so much to her, he's one of her closest remaining friends, and she feels like he (almost more than her own sisters, which she'll have to unpack later) is owed her strength and resolve and self-improvement in the face of such overwhelming odds and the feeling that the world is stacked against everyone on the app. (or maybe just against her.) he's a very good person to her and he tries so hard that he makes her want to try even harder just to prove that she's, like, worthy of being friends with him. she wants him to be happy and she wants however this all ends up going, whatever vanderweele ends up Doing to everyone (or vice versa), to end with him being happy.

[spirithacker]

shinji was also friends with nanashi so that checks out

linaaaa ;;

Anna and Lucy?

[hauntedsavior]

anna doesn't really know lucy that well, but she's impressed that lucy managed to walk away from a weird random encounter in bosuma without being too messed up by the process. it's a sign of the right kind of mindset to handle the real deep dives that this place is gonna demand of them in the very, very near future, or at least the ones that anna anticipates taking part in.

she also heard about how freya protected lucy down there, and that helped improve her opinion of lucy a bunch, too. she trusts frey, and if lucy is someone that frey's apparently close enough to to protect like that, she's gotta be good people, right? that's what anna thinks, at least.

[frostythehitman]

James and Anna!!!

also i hope you're implying james would be andy in that gif because that is a comparison no one has ever made before, probably

[hauntedsavior]

either he's andy or they're both april, i haven't decided which one is funnier yet

anna respects james, which might be her first mistake. she knows he doesn't need her help or protection, and she'd really rather fight alongside him than anything else, but also he's, like, just competent enough to get himself in The Shit. because also, so is she. she doesn't really feel bad about not telling him that she was going somewhere dangerous alone because she kind of expects that he'd do the same. really, though, she knows they're best when they work together, and that they're generally of the same mind about things -- even though she feels like she might be a little more of an extremist here? not that it really bothers her or anything, she just knows she's a Lot where vanderweele is concerned.

in her mind, he's a good ally and friend, and she trusts him to have her back as things keep breaking and breaking all around them. and she'll be right there with her sword and her upcoming two metal arms, which are sadly attached to her shoulders and cannot be used as missiles.
