No Castiel hate: this is an event to cherish the character
Many thanks to @worrynoodle who came up with the name for the week, and of course the wonderful and immensely talented @niceworkhuggybear for making the AMAZING graphics!
My relationship headcanons for WTFuture. The characters I am going to list here are: Edd, Tom, Matt, Tord, Paul, Patrick, Eduardo, Mark.
Warning: a whole bunch of text under cut. Typos per usual, I get easily sick of proofreading my bullshit
I was thinking about making some sort of a chart or a cross table for this, but there are too many characters involved, so a chart would look messy, and a cross table would be difficult to read. So I've given up and decided to just do it via text.
I've differentiated five strong "emotional statuses": Love (unconditional, platonic & physical), Attraction (physical), Friendship (in bold – platonic love, in cursive – alliance), Fear and Hatred.
There will also be less definitive statuses, I'm going to write them in plain text. If the emotion/attitude is especially strong, I am going to write it in bold. If it's weaker, less pronounced, I'm going to write it in cursive. If there had been a particularly pronounced status in the past, I am going to cross it out.
Edd
I am also going to give every relationship some sort of a quote, to summarize how the character feels about the other party.
Edd towards himself: [n/a] "Nothing to see here."
Edd towards Tom: [Friendship, Hatred, Disgust, Jealousy] "Pretentious prick. Fake, fake, fake! Sometimes I feel like I hate you more than I hate Matt. I know you have Tord in your visor, and I hate you for using him. You're not being fair to him by using him. You're a liar."
Edd towards Matt: [Friendship, Hatred, Fear, Disgust] "Tom's rabid dog. You're barely human by this point. So what that I've lied to you? I did what I had to do. You're also a big fat liar and you've also been unfair to Tord, so you got what you deserved. I know that you want to kill me, and it makes me wary."
Edd towards Tord: [Friendship, Love, Hatred] "Are you still there? I'm afraid there's nothing left of you by this point. But I need to salvage it, even if it's just the scraps. I don't understand why you've been pushing me away, and despite everything, I am still on your side. I'll help you defeat those assholes."
Edd towards Patrick: [Contempt] "Tord's dumb fruit-eating general or something. He's spineless."
Edd towards Paul: [Contempt, Hatred, Jealousy] "Tord's dumb engineer. I know there's some sort of connection between them, have always been. I've noticed it. The calls, the occasional cigarette packs. It makes me angry. There's also multiples of him walking around the Base, I think they are his clones. I've seen one of them die once. It was fun."
Edd towards Eduardo: [Contempt, Confusion] "What, you pity me? After everything I've done? Well, I don't like you and I won't change my mind about that. Piss off."
Edd towards Mark: [Contempt] "Who are you again?"
Tom
Tom towards himself: [Acceptance, Dislike] "I do what I have to do. Sometimes I feel like I've become a better man, but then I inevitably come to the conclusion that I haven't changed; if anything, I've become worse. It pains me, but I accept it. All in all, I do believe that it takes a monster to defeat a monster".
Tom towards Edd: [Friendship, Dislike, Pity] "I trusted you, but you betrayed me, kept betraying me over and over again. You made me doubt the entire concept of friendship. I acknowledge your pain, but I refuse to take responsibility for it any longer. I suppose it was my fault I trusted you in the first place."
Tom towards Matt: [Love, Despair, Dependance] "I feel like I betrayed you, and now you don't love me like you used to. It saddens me greatly, but I have no choice but to accept it. I know that you're scared of me, that you're avoiding me. Don't you see that I'm doing all this for you? Don't you see me? You can't do this to me, you're mine and mine alone! Please, pay attention to me. Please, don't leave me, I'm so scared of losing you one day".
Tom towards Tord: [Hatred, Fear, Dependence] "The only way to end all this is to defeat you, once and for all. You're in my head. Watch me. Watch me go. Like what you see? Motherfucker. You make me sick."
Tom towards Paul: [Friendship, Dislike, Understanding, Familiarity] "We are the same, like two mirrors standing in front of each other. Is this what real friendship feels like? You're nothing like Edd, and yet, you and him are somewhat alike. I know you saved Matt, and you would probably make a better partner for him, but I won't let you have him, because he's mine. Keep your mitts to yourself, you bitch bear."
Tom towards Patrick: [Friendship] "Chief. He finds me infuriating, and I like picking on him. I'll operate on assumption that he's the boss, but only if he accepts my conditions first. If he dares to challenge me, I'll show him who's the real boss here, and it will not be pretty."
Tom towards Eduardo: [Friendship] "Mustache neighbor twat with anger management issues. I like him, I find him easy to be around for some reason, I think we get each other on a certain level. He reminds me of Edd, but he's very different."
Tom towards Mark: [Friendship] "Butt-chin neighbor twat. He's good at tech stuff, and he taught me most of it, too. We respect each other. And because of that, I am searching for their base in the honest. If he's actually good at what he does, he'll manage to outsmart me and keep it hidden. If not – sorry, you're it! :)"
Matt
Matt towards Edd: [Friendship, Hatred] "You are a lowly creature. You betrayed my trust, big time. You betrayed Tom, too. I hate you for it. I would gladly dispose of you if only Tom let me."
Matt towards himself: [Hatred] "I am nothing but a piece of trash, broken beyond repair. Existence is unbearable, but I need to do my job, so I keep going."
Matt towards Tom: [Love, Fear] "I love you, and I'm yours, but I feel like you shouldn't belong to me. You deserve better than me, you moving away from me seems logical, almost inevitable, and yet it kills me to think about you being with anyone else. I think deep inside you understand that I am a burden, but you can't admit it, even to yourself. You've changed. You scare me with the way you act sometimes, and you scare me with your strength. I don't know how to talk to you, how to act around you. Our roles and function have changed, and I can't define you anymore. I don't want you to look at me, I can't bear your touch sometimes, and yet I ache for your presence and your grace all the same."
Matt towards Tord: [Friendship, Hatred, Fear, Dependance] "I can feel you watching me. You're always watching. I think you're taking over Tom, and the idea of it makes me nauseous, and it takes all my faith to believe in him. I will do anything in my power to help Tom destroy you."
Matt towards Paul: [Friendship, Acceptance] "A friend of Tom is a friend of mine. I appreciate you trying to help me. You are a good man, the only one I could trust Tom with, but you are strangely reckless sometimes. Still, I respect your bravery."
Matt towards Patrick: [Coldness, Acquaintance] "Chief. I can tell that he is wary of me. There's something lowly about him, but a friend of Tom is a friend of mine".
Matt towards Eduardo: [Acquaintance, Acceptance] "A friend of Tom is a friend of mine. I know you did all you could to help Tom when he got sick and I don't blame you for failing, even if you do feel guilty about it. You don't need to feel so defensive around me."
Matt towards Mark: [Acquaintance, Acceptance] "We've crossed paths before, and I respect your skills and professionalism. I believe you can be trusted."
Tord
Tord towards himself: [n/a] "..."
Tord towards Edd: [Friendship, Love, Hatred, ???] "He's lurking in the shadows. I don't want to crush him, but I don't need him to stay, either. I don't really care about him."
Tord towards Tom: [Contempt, Jealousy, Hatred, Attraction, Dependance] "You've impressed me, and I love watching you act. It's a pleasure. I could not wish for a better representative. Keep going."
Tord towards Matt: [Friendship, Attraction, Hatred, Contempt, Fear] "You must suffer. There's something both mesmerizing and unpleasant about watching you squirm. I would've crushed you long ago, but Tom seems inclined on keeping you, and I like that about him. So you're allowed to stay, lest you slowly wither."
Tord towards Paul: [Friendship, Attraction, Dependance] "My all-time favorite tool, I like how comfortably you lie in my hand. I like inspecting you, using you. In some ways, I see you as an extension of me. You can't leave me."
Tord towards Patrick: [Friendship] "My puppet dictator. I don't care if you hate me for keeping your family at a gunpoint. How else would I make you do what I want?"
Tord towards Eduardo: [n/a] "A nuisance. They call him the Green Leader, and it would be a good measure to eliminate him and his men, but he's hiding. Tom is working on it."
Tord towards Mark: [n/a] "The Greens' technician. He's the one behind hiding their location. He's good."
Paul
Paul towards himself: [Hatred] "I don't really care if I die at this point. It's all been meaningless."
Paul towards Edd: [Fear] "Tord's former roommate and currently a madman in a black coat who can turn invisible due to one of Tord's tech cubes. I'm pretty sure he hates me. He's tall as fuck and has that look in his eyes that screams 'murder'. He scares me shitless."
Paul towards Tom: [Friendship, Dislike, Jealousy, Familiarity, Acceptance] "I am the ears and hands, you are the mouth and the eyes. It's not that hard to see. Harder to decide which one is more important. You can throw a mean punch, and I can't help but provoke you sometimes. It's easy to push your buttons, you've only got, like, one or two. You remind me of both Tord and myself, and I find it revolting, yet I respect you for your principles and the sheer force of your will. You're's easy to talk to, and I like talking to you. You're a good friend."
Paul towards Matt: [Guilt, Attraction, Friendship] "I feel awkward around you, I think I am infatuated. I wish you could love me back, but I know you can't. I still fantasize about you occasionally, but it doesn't mean I will do anything about it. In fact, I am actively trying to keep my distance, even if I do say some eggregious shit sometimes. I feel responsible for what happened to your face, and I know the guilt will always torment me. I am glad I was able to at least serve you some good."
Paul towards Tord: [Friendship, Love, Attraction, Fear, Hatred, Dependance] "Boss. You're using me, have been using me all along. It's hard to admit, but it never was love. I actually loved you, you know. Let you do unspeakable things to me, let you use me on so many levels, intellectually, emotionally and physically. I still feel attached to you, but this has to end soon."
Paul towards Patrick: [Friendship, Coldness] "Chief. I regret us growing apart. We used to be such good friends, I even felt part of your family at some point. I'm sorry if I you got disappointed in me. Maybe when this whole thing is over we could become friends again."
Paul towards Eduardo: [Interest] "Call me crazy, but there's something tiltilating about that guy. Maybe it's the mustache."
Paul towards Mark: [Caution] "Uhh... Some tech guy. We haven't actually met."
Patrick
Patrick towards himself: [n/a] "I am trapped. I have to perform this awful work, because otherwise I'll lose my wife and daughter. I am trying my best to do the right thing, but everything is spiraling out of control. People are dying and I can't do anything."
Patrick towards Edd: [Hatred, Bewilderment] "An exceptionally creepy dude that keeps sneaking into our Base. Why he's still alive is beyond my understanding. Can't we just shoot him on sight? Or something. Oh my god."
Patrick towards Tom: [Spite, Friendship] "He has me by the balls. He's so infuriating that I have lost all my will to fight back at this point. I hate his guts sometimes, especially when he stands up for Matt's atrocities, but he also amuses me greatly. Actually, he reminds me of Tord. Of... how he used to be, at least."
Patrick towards Matt: [Fear, Hatred] "This is not a soldier, this is a butcher. He's killed so many of my men that I've lost count. He should be executed or at least punished for his deeds, but Tom won't let me do anything about it. No one feels safe with that monstrosity crawling around the base, me included. I don't want to have anything to do with him and I don't understand how Tom deals with him still."
Patrick towards Tord: [Friendship, Fear, Hatred] "He holds my family hostage. He is a monster, a shadow of a man. He is not my friend, I think he has never been my friend. I don't know how I fell under his charm."
Patrick towards Paul: [Friendship, Coldness] "You know the location of that monster, yet you will not reveal it to me. I should've known you'd pick his side. I don't want anything to do with you, even work-wise. That asshole Tom will be your supervisor, not me. "
Patrick towards Eduardo: [n/a] "Green Leader, head of the biggest opposition group."
Patrick towards Mark: [n/a] "Green Leader's tech expert. He's good. We haven't been able to catch them, and they keep sabotaging us occasionally."
Eduardo
Eduardo towards himself: [Hatred, Acceptance] "I am a failure and I have a lot of issues I am trying to work on. There are so many people in my life that I have let down of lost that I had to take drastic measures to not loose all of my screws out of grief."
Eduardo towards Edd: [Sympathy, Understanding] "The guy is actually pretty fucking miserable. Turns out he is not always number one. I caught a glimpse of his life, and I feel kinda bad for him. It's a real mess. I know that he's an asshole, but I can't bring myself to stamp on him, not anymore."
Eduardo towards Tom: [Friendship] "They call him Indigo Leader now, but I don't think he has his heart in it. He reminds me of Jon, in some ways. He's also an annoying asshole, but thinking about Jon makes me act more careful around him. He knows what he wants and what he's doing, and it makes me respect him."
Eduardo towards Matt: [Guilt, Fear, Understanding] "Tom's nightmare fuel of a boyfriend. I'm sorry I couldn't help Tom, okay??? Yes I am a real doctor, but it doesn't mean I can perform surgery on people!!! Don't go all vendetta on me. I am sorry."
Eduardo towards Tord: [???] "??? The neighbor asshole with weird hair? I haven't seen him in years."
Eduardo towards Paul: [n/a] "Some scruffy asshole. Smokes like a train."
Eduardo towards Patrick: [n/a] "The Red Leader guy. Rumor has it that he is a bit of a wimp, and the real power belongs to Tom."
Eduardo towards Mark: [Friendship] "You've been with me through hell and high water. You're like a brother to me now. I know I can trust you with anything, and you'll do everything in your power to help me with it."
Mark
Mark towards Edd: [Fear, Dislike] "The former head of the group, if you could call him that. I mean, he could sort of gather people around him and hand out orders, I'll give him that much. It didn't surprise me when he flew off the handle and went on a rampage one day. I told Eduardo he shouldn't let him in anymore, but the idiot keeps doing just that. It worries me."
Mark towards himself: [n/a] "I am just doing my work, man."
Mark towards Tom: [Friendship] "I've been tutoring him electronics, with a mishmash of physics and engineering on the side. The guy has brains. We've started playing cat and mouse at some point after he left, and it's been fun, although I can't tell if he's genuine about it or not. I guess time will tell."
Mark towards Paul: [n/a] "Main engineer at the Red Army base."
Mark towards Matt: [Friendship] "I disliked him as a neighbor, because the guy kept going through our trash. I knew he was studying us, and it unnerved me. I think we get each other better now."
Mark towards Tord: [n/a] "Former neighbor, creepy horned guy back at the old house. He used to run a lot of shady business, but he provided good tech, so I had to work with him. He moved away at some point."
Mark towards Patrick: [n/a] "Red Leader, head of the Red Army".
Mark towards Eduardo: [Friendship] "You are the only one I can trust. Your heart's gone too tender from grief over the years, so I constantly have to talk sense into you. You've also improved greatly. I am willing to be your right-hand man, count it as privilege if you want."
