For a while now, I've been thinking about Flambert in terms of the Chinese elements because you very clearly have fire and metal. Today, I looked at the wiki for it because that's how I begin all my big research endeavors, and guys, there was a treasure trove of information right there at the beginning
First, I think the use of 'destroys' and 'insults' is hilarious. How many times has Flambae tried destroying Robert, only for Robert to end up insulting him?
Second, metal and fire relate in three different ways: 1) Inter-regulating: Fire melts/refines/shapes metal 2) Overacting: Fire melts metal 3) Counter-acting: Metal deenergizes/conducts heat away from fire
Overacting is what they've been this entire time, but in a relationship, Flambae inter-regulates Robert by helping him get better (diet, working out, loving himself), and Robert counter-acts Flambae by helping him control the flame and is the medium in which the 'heat' is brought to where it needs to be
Thirdly, there was one more chart I thought was interesting
There's a few of these I'm sure I don't need to explain, so let me just talk about the ones I think need a little extra clarity
Flambae - Tongue relates both to sexuality and to his cooking (the same place taste comes from). Bitterness comes from parts of his relationship towards Mecha Man and what he feels toward Robert. Feathered is because this man is the phoenix. He's the feathered bird destined to rise from the ashes, reborn in the honor of heroism
Robert - I gave him nose because this man's nose is always bleeding. I felt like 'senior age' was also funny to give him just because he's so disconnected from everything. And 'furred' is entirely because I personally use the metaphor of him being a beast of love, creature of hope, fights like a wild animal, these violent things given direction by that spark of heroism Robert innately has
Anyway, I'm going to do more research and fine every quote I can that'll apply to these two
