reblogging this here but im gonna b putting this on my OC blog when that gets made !! answered this with my OCs Ace and Gummi from my story FREAKSHOW.TV :3 if you dont care, then scroll past, ill put a break here. answers below.
1. they both met in the show; Ace had already been in for around 6 years, Gummi just joined.
2. theyve known each other for 4 years at the start of the story.
3. Gummi thought Ace was rude and mean but over time warmed up to him. Ace thought nothing of Gummi but also warmed up to them as well.
4. in personality: Gummi would describe Ace as "mostly mean, but really cool if you got to know him!!". they're more honest with their feelings. Ace, on the other hand, puts up a 24/7 "idfc" attitude, and would describe Gummi as "loud, obnoxious, and way too energetic." were he to be honest, he would describe them as a great friend.
5. they get along rather well! the two dont talk much with the other cast present, but when they do talk, they really connect.
6. Ace wouldnt ever admit it, but he actually shares a few nerdy interests with Gummi, albeit more surface-level. hes always found the concept of lost media intriguing, and thats a subject Gummi knows quite a lot about. he often lets them infodump about it.
7. they see each other every day; the cast is significantly smaller than it used to be, and theyre the two most popular characters of in-universe fans, so theyre both always in episodes. besides episodes though, they still see each other every day, because theres only 3 other people they could choose to talk to. they frequently have their one-on-one conversations at the Green Room's café or in Gummi's room.
8. nothing unique im afraid. they just speak
9. i actually had to take some time to think about this one. theyre both very very different in personality, an "opposites attract" type of deal, but one thing they share is that they dont ever share their true feelings. they keep most things hidden.
10. Ace is a dick and Gummi is generally pretty nice.
11. i wouldnt say so, based on my very limited idea of what a "narrative foil" is.
12. Ace shows his affection for Gummi by letting them do most of the talking when one of their interests gets brought up, as well as taking friendly jabs at them. Gummi shows theirs by willingly sharing information about their interests that they would otherwise be hesitant to.
14. as of right now, no. originally they did (both wanted to leave the show), but now theyve both mostly accepted their fate, and that they wont leave. Gummi has a little hope left, though.
15. they do, simply as a byproduct of knowing each other for 4 years.
16. Ace is keeping a very very big secret from not only Gummi, but the rest of the cast as well. he knows gow itd make him look, and he knows itd make everyone hate him more. especially, he knows Gummi wouldnt take it well- he doesnt want their friendship to end, though he wont admit that. i cant speak any more on this, due to spoilers for the story.
18. Gummi views it as permanent. Ace views it as a bit of both.
22. it would be the event which would answer number (20. but i cant say. because spoilers. :3
23. no. Ace doesnt like the rest of the cast, and Gummi likes the rest of the cast.
24. their interaction in public is very minimal and very neutral, but their interaction in private is more friendly.
25. "aww, they seem like good friends."
26. Ace would be pissed but grateful its someone he can at least stand to talk to, Gummi would be anxious.
27. Gummi, realistically, would not be able to risk their life for Ace, as their instinct in danger is to run. Ace would probably try to do something, but whether he would risk his life or not is...debatable.
