#I kept Andrew/hell he is such an aggravating and disappointing character even with what he symbolizes

[fullscoreshenanigans]

Credit to @standreamy for putting together this amazing maxi relationship chart in not just one but two versions (found here; tweaked a bit with the orange category because there's a lot of dynamics I'm interested in that I feel didn't fall into BrOTP or any of the other ones).

Notes on some of them under the cut:

• I originally binged the manga in three days so I didn't pick up on it as much the first time, but going back I appreciate the brief focus given to Geelan and the second Lord Bayon.

• I also appreciate how the anime's director (Mamoru Kanbe) made the conscious effort to incorporate background relationships like Mark & Naila in the anime and would be interested in seeing how their relationship would change and evolve in the future.

• I default to the "Matilda is Norman's mom and Sienna is Emma and Carol's mom" headcanons because I like to play around with them, but could also see Sienna as Nat's mom.

• Split on whether Scarlet is Don's or Phil's mom, but I could also see Phil as Jessica's child.

• Would love to see Ray interact with any of the sisters who saw his note.

• Norman's relationship with Isabella receives the least amount of focus out of the trio and it makes me sad.

• Likewise, Don's and Gilda's relationship with Yuugo is often overlooked. I'd really like to see how the latter especially mend bridges after Gilda was ready to blow up the shelter when he showed up with Emma near death and without Ray. I think they'd do it through a tea party.

• I'm obsessed with the thought of Peter and Norman having dinners together, regardless of the Norman Ratri theory.

• They really had Adam reciting Norman's number only for them to never interact in a panel, huh

• For that matter, we barely see Adam and Violet interact despite this information from the mystic code book:

Would have loved to see Adam interact more with any of the Goldy Pond crew, but especially her and Paula.

• I'm normally not super attached to specific gender headcanons for the characters, but after Shirai confirmed Violet's favorite food is pickles, my default headcanon for her is she a trans lesbian. Love the idea of trans wlw Gillian taking her under her wing, and Violet in turn taking Gilda under her wing while they're searching for the Seven Walls.

• This is the funniest Phil & Sherry panel:

(Chapter 100)

While far from a spiteful monster due to being five, I love the brief glimpse we receive into her jealous/petty side here.
