Sorry I still haven't answered your previous ask, I'm in the middle of moving and I should be able to get to it next week 😁 but in the mean time, how about some asks!

⭐ for Nisha and Tel about Galaëd? How would they feel about my autumn trickster twig? 🥰

And the mandatory Commander's assemble! ⭐ fo Kerra about Anwen 😘❤️

No worries no worries, take as much time as you need!! (And good luck with the rest of your moving! :D ) And ye, asks are excellent and very much appreciated, thank you!! :D

Nisha about Galaëd:

I like you // I love you // You’re one of my best friends // You’re like family // You are family // I dislike you // I hate you // I’d kill you if I got the chance // I want you to like me // I’m scared of you // I would adopt you // I’d date you // I’d sleep with you // I’d marry you // I’m worried about you // You confuse me // You’re annoying // I pity you // I respect you // I trust you // I feel protective of you // I’d invite you with me to parties // I’d lend you my money // I’d borrow your money // You’re good-looking // I’m suspicious of you // I’m hiding something from you // You’re fun // You’re boring // I’m upset with you // You’re nice // You’re mean // I’m envious of you // You’re smart // You’re stupid // I look up to you // I think you’re a better person than me // I think I’m a better person than you // I want to apologize to you // I wish I’d never met you // I never want to forget you // I want to get to know you better

Oh, this was a fun one, mainly because Nisha would just be so ??? about Galaëd, and it's making me laugh. Xe'd legitimately like him, but it'd also be so weird for xem if xe knew about Galaëd's crush on/burgeoning relationship with Canach in his 'verse--and xe wouldn't say anything to him about it, most likely, but it'd be a whole thing for xem to wrap xyr head around. It'd also be weird for xem because at this point, xe's self-aware enough that Galaëd would remind xem a tiny bit of both xyrself and Kerra. Nisha would probably have some trouble talking to him at first, I think, asldkjfasf, but if they had enough time I think they could get along well!

Rel about Galaëd:

I like you // I love you // You’re one of my best friends // You’re like family // You are family // I dislike you // I hate you // I’d kill you if I got the chance // I want you to like me // I’m scared of you // I would adopt you // I’d date you // I’d sleep with you // I’d marry you // I’m worried about you // You confuse me // You’re annoying // I pity you // I respect you // I trust you // I feel protective of you // I’d invite you with me to parties // I’d lend you my money // I’d borrow your money // You’re good-looking // I’m suspicious of you // I’m hiding something from you // You’re fun // You’re boring // I’m upset with you // You’re nice // You’re mean // I’m envious of you // You’re smart // You’re stupid // I look up to you // I think you’re a better person than me // I think I’m a better person than you // I want to apologize to you // I wish I’d never met you // I never want to forget you // I want to get to know you better

Also interesting for Rel, honestly! Rel would definitely like Galaëd, though I could see any lingering elements of Galaëd's original black-and-white worldview bothering him in particular (more than they'd bother Nisha, interestingly enough), and personality-wise, I think they'd get along. (And that they'd probably click faster than Galaëd would with Nisha, despite any clashes.) One last point on here I wanted to note--"I never want to forget you" comes from the role Galaëd plays in bringing Trahearne back in your 'verse. Rel's 'verse plays out differently, of course, but Galaëd gets an instant boost in status as far as Rel's concerned because of that alone.

Kerra about Anwen:

I like you // I love you // You’re one of my best friends // You’re like family // You are family // I dislike you // I hate you // I’d kill you if I got the chance // I want you to like me // I’m scared of you // I would adopt you // I’d date you // I’d sleep with you // I’d marry you // I’m worried about you // You confuse me // You’re annoying // I pity you // I respect you // I trust you // I feel protective of you // I’d invite you with me to parties // I’d lend you my money // I’d borrow your money // You’re good-looking // I’m suspicious of you // I’m hiding something from you // You’re fun // You’re boring // I’m upset with you // You’re nice // You’re mean // I’m envious of you // You’re smart // You’re stupid // I look up to you // I think you’re a better person than me // I think I’m a better person than you // I want to apologize to you // I wish I’d never met you // I never want to forget you // I want to get to know you better

Commanders assemble, love it xD Kerra would definitely like Anwen; commander/trauma-based family status is instant, plus it doesn't hurt that in Anwen's 'verse she is very much in love with that version of Kerra's brother. Kerra would trust Anwen based on Trahearne's judgment alone, but her stalwart defense of sylvari during HoT (even if that's a bar that Should be on the ground) definitely helps too. I'd love to see the two of them go to a party together--Kerra wasn't raised in nobility but is generally good at holding onto her temper even if she feels similarly to Anwen at times; it'd be a fun balancing act, and god forbid anyone decide to try to pull anything with both of them there.

Let's play the matchmakers! 😆

Galaëd (he/him), sylvari fifth born (1325AE), gay, used to have a black&white vision of the world, considered himself a white knight but has long shifted into a pearly grey morality (from lawful good to mostly chaotic neutral good), fun loving, warm, witty and extremely protective. Wanna be friends? 😚😘

Matchmaking for Galaëd! :D Gladly!!

Honestly, I'd really love to have Kerra meet him just in general, because I think they'd get along, but! To give you someone different, too, because I can and I want to:

Would love to see him be friends with Rhi! They'd very much vibe with him--though if he ever got to a point of being overprotective of them, they'd have a few things to say about it. They'd really understand his fear of disappointing the people he loves, as well. It's part of the reason they were reluctant to take on any sort of job/leadership role up until EoD; they didn't want to let their family down by not living up to the inherent societal expectations of "child of incredibly famous parents who's also a Firstborn of sorts in their own right". I also would love to see them interact just for the sake of Galaëd meeting someone who'd look up to him (but would also still mostly treat him as someone on the same level as themself, not someone on a pedestal). So...ye, I think they'd be friends :)

Anwen ★ Kerra (this one was obvious 😄)

And I'd love to see some Cyprian ★ Galaëd 🍂

Commanders and sylvari boys, all right all right, let's go! :D

Kerra & Anwen

I like you // I love you // You’re one of my best friends // You’re like family // You are family // I dislike you // I hate you // I’d kill you if I got the chance // I want you to like me // I’m scared of you // I would adopt you // I’d date you // I’d sleep with you // I’d marry you // I’m worried about you // You confuse me // You’re annoying // I pity you // I respect you // I trust you // I feel protective of you // I’d invite you with me to parties // I’d lend you my money // I’d borrow your money // You’re good-looking // I’m suspicious of you // I’m hiding something from you // You’re fun // You’re boring // I’m upset with you // You’re nice // You’re mean // I’m envious of you // You’re smart // You’re stupid // I look up to you // I think you’re a better person than me // I think I’m a better person than you // I want to apologize to you // I wish I’d never met you // I never want to forget you // I want to get to know you better

Kerra would click well as friends with Anwen regardless, but a few of these (in particular the family, protective, and worried ones) come from relating to Anwen as a fellow commander. Considering it's the job that Kerra herself has/had, some of it's a little hypocritical, but she's always worried about others more than herself. (To be fair, the family one also comes from the fact that in Anwen's universe, she's in a relationship with Kerra's brother, haha.) The party one's in italics because it's very much contingent on both of them actually wanting to attend whatever party it is xD

Cyprian & Galaëd

I like you // I love you // You’re one of my best friends // You’re like family // You are family // I dislike you // I hate you // I’d kill you if I got the chance // I want you to like me // I’m scared of you // I would adopt you // I’d date you // I’d sleep with you // I’d marry you // I’m worried about you // You confuse me // You’re annoying // I pity you // I respect you // I trust you // I feel protective of you // I’d invite you with me to parties // I’d lend you my money // I’d borrow your money // You’re good-looking // I’m suspicious of you // I’m hiding something from you // You’re fun // You’re boring // I’m upset with you // You’re nice // You’re mean // I’m envious of you // You’re smart // You’re stupid // I look up to you // I think you’re a better person than me // I think I’m a better person than you // I want to apologize to you // I wish I’d never met you // I never want to forget you // I want to get to know you better

I debated for a while whether or not to put the "I like you", but honestly, I think Cyp would very much like Galaëd. He just would be a bit on edge around him. The guy's nice on the surface, but he's a mesmer and he can really fight, and Cyp is a little too good at recognizing danger (in a way that's kinda unhealthy). Ironically, though, the fighting skill also is part of why Cyp would like him xD And the envious bit isn't necessarily specific to Galaëd; it's more related to the fact that Galaëd got to have a "normal" awakening and follow his Wyld Hunt(s). Cyp didn't get that.
