#so it develops into this running in-joke they have i think. woe unto those who do not understand the complexities of this friendship

i tend to focus on regis making angouleme a little less insane. but the underrated dynamic in my head is angouleme making regis a little more insane. this mentorship goes both ways.

#and not in an annoying him way. that's completely separate. and he doesn't get annoyed and aggravated in the same ways that others do #if regis is really upset or offended he will be cold and distant. he doesn't have violent outbursts of frustration. he just freezes #and it's impossible for angouleme to sincerely annoy him anyways because he just doesnt find her that annoying. #of course he'd never tell her that. but he isn't truly annoyed by her because her trying to annoy him is something like amusing to him #so it develops into this running in-joke they have i think. woe unto those who do not understand the complexities of this friendship #im really split between making a video for halloween or finally writing my saovine fic (or trying to do either of these things and failing) #but i kind of want to write my fic more because it's personal and deeper. it's more meaningful and unique #i want to explore this flipside of the dynamic because i think it would be interesting to showcase that regis can honestly be really silly #everyone forgets he is also a comic relief character in the comic relief group in the comic relief plot #sometimes being juvenile and impulsive is good or at the very least entertaining to watch #angouleme: 'just give into your violent impulses. its what i do and everyone turns out ok' #regis: 'those guys over there didnt turn out ok. those guys over there turned out dead' #and as godforsakenly cliche as it is angouleme reminds him of his youth but in a GOOD way. #by spending time with her he probably remembered the good parts of youth that he buried in memory very deeply #and can begin to forgive himself for some of his stupidity #f: i'm not your uncle dear child #in short to live a dream #the elbow-high diaries
