Within the “proper” headspace, willing to be completely vulnerable + comfortable:

Cole, Xianyun

Wants to keep the tone light but can be coaxed into being more vulnerable, “bratty” headspace:

Stirling, Haru(?), Natsume (OC), Itharion, Cashew

Keep it casual, could be more serious but what they have is already good because having friends is awesome:

Garret, Anon, Poe, Cashew

The playfulness IS the intimacy:

Natsume (OC), Ace, Reece, Aki, Ichiban

Nah it’s just all fucked up and weird, they’re fighting actually /lh:

Fabian

Anything else?

I usually like for there to be a bit of yearning on the end of the F/O for my own amusement, but that isn’t always the case. Anon and Poe especially I don’t see having any significant yearning, at least any they’d want to bother exploring…

Haru is weird because I think Haru is very capable of having a meaningful casual relationship and maybe he even tries to come off that way to Ren, but in my ship specifically he wants more. He feels like he’s dug himself a hole and he’s trying to find a way to climb out of it without the walls collapsing around him. That or Ren is just dense idk

The most “vulnerable” tier with Cole and Xianyun also means Ren can act with any other level of playfulness but the transition from that to vulnerability is way smoother/easier to achieve compared to other tiers
