Right now he trusts her as a business partner, but is at a kind of emotional arm's length. idk if that will change anytime soon. To a certain extent he's not entirely sure what to do with her. WHEN IN DOUBT, MORE FLIRTING, probably. But he likes her all the same, and respects her practicality. He's looking forward to working together.
also that dream was weird but he didn't really think much about it. DREAMS ARE WEIRD 8U
She still thinks of Tamaki as a shameless flirt with a heart that's more or less in the right place.
She doesn't really think they're emotionally close by any means, but then this is Macaron the number of people who she's 'emotionally close' to could be counted on less than a hand. She does trust him to keep up his end of the bargain insofar as business goes, though she's not certain if he's got an obfusticating stupidity going on or if he's just kind of dense.
Regarding the dream, Legion also told Macaron that she thinks he's cool, but she has no idea why this is the case and has dismissed it as 'Legion being weird.'
Is Tamaki overall enjoying his new life in Court or not?
Definitely! From the little things like being able to wear what he wants, to the big things like not having to choose who lives and dies, Court is miles ahead of Deco. And it's full of ~old friends~ for him to play with.
But while he's happy and grateful not to be in the library anymore, he doesn't particularly care for Court, either. After a long, hard adjustment to Deco, he feels out of his depth all over again. He's desperately trying to stay optimistic and productive, but he can't help but dread some other shoe is going to drop, and something incomprehensibly terrible is going to happen.
So he's acting as normal as he can, but on some level he's tense and worried all the time. It doesn't help that for all his flirting, he's really reluctant to chase after actual sex/love/what-have-you, for a variety of reasons that range between stupid and sad.
How's Macaron doing with not-her-boyfriend Apollo?
Well, they've had two threads. In the first one they agreed mutually that they weren't each other's them and broke things off between this them because it'd somehow be improper with each of them having their own them. (Around this point Zaniah decided she hated timeline splits.)
In their other thread she stabbed him to death twice. Ssso, if you were to ask her the only thing she could think to say is that it is 'complicated.'
Really though, she's confused about the entire affair because she's sort of torn between still liking this idiot but liking a completely different this idiot so it basically manifests as some kind of Unlimited Tsun Works. Also she feels bad about killing him. Twice. Really! (This is kind of new for her she's not used to actually regretting killing people)
SO YEAH they're a travesty and it's kind of gloriously terrible.
Did Tamaki ever go to/participate in JD's absurd MANDATORY PARTY O CLOCK while it was an actual thing she was forcing people to do? If so, what did he do? (And did he avoid Copper Rose, if so I can't blame you)
I'm not sure! He actually made friends with Copper Rose (or at least made friends with Ticky and awkwardly got along with the rest of Copper Rose), and probably Celeste as well from the very second that March was gone. But I'm not sure about Cardinal. What was 4yr Cardinal like?
ALL I REALLY KNOW IS JD, who drifted in and out of the bigger picture continuing to be her travesty of a self. Cardinal probably went really xenophobic and then from there back to kind of a normal. At some point Meliora wound up grabbing control of it and doing something akin to dictating policy, which is to say 'YOU GUYS LIGHTEN UP WE ARE HAVING SOME FUN GODDAMMIT.'
Cue parties because we got the beer and Copper Rose was frands with us during that period.
In the end she wound up dropping out with a bad end after getting all her skills back and fell into her main universe.
BEYOND THAT I DONT KNOW WHAT CARDI WOULD BE LIKE because Meliora isn't there to yell at everyone until they do what she wants.
Okay, yes, he probably occasionally went to parties while JD was around!
4yr Shell was fairly stable on the average, I think, which isn't to say they didn't cycle through several times. After the first complete rotation, Tamaki took charge, got them patroned, and just became a wrecking ball of self-preservation. So he was probably at odds with his own team a lot more as well.
Nope!!! I am the king of 'make shit up as I go,' and court is no different.
I expect that Zaniah is going to wind up Macaroning at p much everyone in deco, and probably hitting knight in incredibly short order (because Macaron in games lol), and possibly wind up having INCREDIBLY AWKWARD MOMENTS with the rest of teal orz. Also getting a handle on this emoting thing because wtf emoting.
JD... is a lot more simple. She is going to bitch and moan about everything and I guess be Kyrie's servant and have terrible things happen to her. So you know. Same shit, different day.
From his perspective it's been four years, so it's kinda like, "wow I forgot how adorable you were *_*" Other than that it hasn't changed much from before - he respects and admires her and thinks she is a cutie patootie. nts make Tamaki actually utter the phrase "cutie patootie" at someone icly. probably William or Elliot tho
Not many changes! She basically feels like they're on the same footing from before, and mentally for her it hasn't been that long at all. He's very nice and charming and sweet and a healer person and even though he says ridiculous things sometimes he has a good heart! But she remembers him acting quite a bit differently before she left so she is a little, hmm, curious? about that. She isn't overly concerned just because hey we were all in a murderlibrary people all have different ways of coping \o/
ANY PLANS FOR TAMAKI? Or Cassius he is an adorable little weedlover
He's a little sad it's not the same William, but also delighted to see him being all confident and sparkling and adorable. In general his analysis of William is pretty much :3c
And yes! I might post tomorrow or Saturday about that \o>
WHAT DOES WILLIAM THINK OF HIS CHARMING AND HANDSOME FRIEND FROM ANOTHER WORLD
WILLIAM THINKS... he's a harmless idiot and is a little blind to what they have in common. But hey, Tamaki is clearly a Rich Kid, and for all he is French, William can appreciate free party with food and free study lessons!! So, Tamaki isn't a bad guy. Ridiculous, but at a level he can handle and even has fun with (in his tsundere heart.) And at least he hasn't gone on too much about the supernatural or magic or whatever, even with the strange other world thing.
Basically, Tamaki reminds him of an equally ridiculous friend of his at home (pictured in this icon), which is a pretty good spot to be in with Will as far as first impressions go!!
his feelings kinda waver back and forth between "/o/ YAY KAORU I LOVE THAT GUY LOOK AT HIM NOT GETTING TORTURED OR KILLED YAAAAY \o\" and "why did I tell him the truth he's going to figure me out and once he does he will hate me forever /o\"
So he is trying to be as normal as possible at all times, even though a good part of him genuinely wants to do like I had him do in the dream and be like "sit down, shut up, let me handle this," which I think is probably what he did with 4yr Shell once all the original members cycled out and he cared more about keeping them safe than he did them liking or respecting him.
But he cares a lot about Kaoru's opinion of him, which is probably a good thing because it stops him from enacting plans like "but what if I just had someone kidnap Kaoru and let Hikaru save him, I bet that would cheer Hikaru up :|a"
- Tamaki never approved of Shark eventually numbering his teammates, rather than naming them.
So Shark challenges Tamaki to name every single person that's ever been through Shell. There's too fucking many, you try it!! It's not like they're fucking important, if they stick around then they'll remember their real ones!! and tamaki is like that's not the point :T!!
Except when Tamaki tries his challenge, he leaves like, one out, possibly because he thought he already said the name and lost track. And Shark, being an asshole, points it out and is like SEE TOLD YOU!! and it's a really dumb argument in and of itself. Except a game happens not long after, with some effect that debilitates Tamaki and Shark's team is targetted by Shell. Celeste plays hard as fucking ever, and gets out okay, but Shark thinks WELL I SEE HOW IT IS and proceeds to avoid Tamaki for a week and harrass his teammates whenever he sees them, making less of a nuisance and more of a threat out of himself, so they know not to do this shit next time, though he doesn't do any physical damage, he is more than capable of being terrifying without that, with his powers fully back, and Tamaki, of course, catches him, and defends teammate because >( SHARK THAT IS NOT HOW WE DEAL WITH HURT FEELINGS.
It gets. Explained in the end. And Shark refuses to apologize because Shark but he does go out of his way to defend that particular set of Shells until they cycle through.
Also they might have fought about replacements for the uniforms a couple times since Deco had a tendency to ruin uniforms and not necessarily replace them, one time Shark decided to do a NICE THING!! and get Tamaki a new outfit to wear, but. you know. Shark. it was awful and not something anyone with any taste would wear willingly ever!! and they had a stupid argument in which tamaki was not going to wear it. Which was less of a problem than the fact Shark expected to be compensated for the clothes effort put in NOW YOU OWE ME GIMMIE THAT THING YOUR NEWBIE CAME IN WITH!!
