♥ one: post with your characters.
♠ two: respond to other people's characters with your characters.
♦ three: they tell you in detail what their character thinks of your character. TL;DR is encouraged; that's how this works.
♣ four; optional: discuss it with them if you want! Make a big chain of tl;dr if you're up to it.
♥ five: other people do the same thing to you! Maybe you even harvest your tl;dr to use in a CR chart later.
♠ six: keep checking back in so that no one is ever late!
(Shamelessly gakked from places.)

No, okay, let's do this. The hoofbeast ain't dead yet.
There are lots of complicated feels. Dave came into Asgard in a kind of ambiguous time post-touring the drunk Rose district, but pre-speaker crab; essentially, in a time where he was pretty much aware that their relationship was drowning in the shitter. I've said it before, but in a conversation with a future Dave once, he basically described his moment in the timelie as: basically if youre the trainwreck then im from before said traiwreck and i can already see the plume of smoke from here In his mind, they had already broken up, and he was still somewhat -- though not necessarily in a debilitating way? -- bitter about it. Which made her coming into Asgard difficult, because she was from even further before the trainwreck, and Dave is anything but a proponent of spoilers. So, naturally, he continues on like nothing happened and like he doesn't think about how long Tz may or may not have been banging the hateclown.
-- which, in retrospect, he knows was not the right thing to do. I think on some level, he wanted to see if he could give her a second (first) chance. On a deeper level, I think he wanted to see if he could "save" her (for a lack of a better term?) from... herself?
(I do headcanon that there was probably a period of time on the meteor that he did try really hard with pitiful interventions which mostly consisted of drawing comics to keep her from letting her life spiral out of control, and so naturally his first instinct is to try to do just that (again?) in Asgard.)
But it's starting to dawn on him how it isn't fair to him or her to keep trying. It's not that he doesn't like her, or doesn't think she's pretty cool, or that he doesn't want to be her friend -- it's just that the ship has sailed, and the bird needs to spread its wings.
(That they banged, on that note, makes him feel incredibly guilty. Not because he regrets it, he doesn't, but because it makes him feel like a goddamn hypocrite.)
Beyond that, though he would never, ever, ever admit it out loud, he has a very, very strong appreciation for her. He would not have been able to get anywhere in the Game without her help, and he fully recognizes that. In an ironic sort of way, too, she provides a kind of voice of confidence for him, being one of the few people who can sniff out his insecurities, and who's not afraid to call him out for them. She's his partner in crime, and no matter what they'll always have shitty comics to draw.
