But it’s 2026 and I’m bored so here is my general view of the dynamic of FirstWar (Linked Universe: FirstxWarriors)…

The whole thing primarily works under three head-canons that are vital to the entire thing working…

. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.

٠࣪⭑ First went on two major adventures (like Wild) with one being unspecified but vaguely heroic for sake of plot- and the other being that of the Skyward Sword Prequel Manga! The time where First meets The Chain is following that 1st unspecified adventure where First did generally heroic things and hasn’t been put in prison yet (like he was at the start of the manga).

٠࣪⭑ First (at this point in his life) is a bit immature in the way he thinks he’s all that and a bag of chips. Bro just saved The Land of Hylia and everyone’s treating him as a great hero because of it - thus the fame and treatment lowkey goes to his head. His personality at this time (atleast in the time period of most of Weeevil and mine’s art) is a kind of mix between Kuzco (The Emperor's New Groove), Prince Naveen (The Princess and the Frog), and Tamaki Suoh (Ouran High School Host Club) at the start of all their respective stories. Narcissistic and self-absorbed (kinda)- dumb puppy/jerk types who eventually grow a heart and brain.

٠࣪⭑ Warriors is deeply pissed off when First appears at the start - because The Entire Chain treats him like “The Cooler Warriors” because bro is canonically very attractive and has a whole thing where he (on the surface) does everything Warriors does - but better.

. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.

This introduction sets up a pseudo one-sided rivalry/love.

Warriors hates this guy who is TOTALLY stealing his look and doing it better - while having an absolutely awful personality that everyone else just takes wayyy too lightheartedly!

On the other side- First is completely head over heels for this beautiful and mysterious stranger who brushes him off every chance he gets! This guy fights so elegantly and clearly knows what he’s doing- just who is he? Double points for Warriors being totally uninterested in him - it draws him in more because First is so used to people obsessing over him... Too bad Warriors is just not having any of it.

Relationship kinda an in-between of two gay peacocks fighting each other while trying to court one another - and someone who really likes animals trying and consistently failing to get a stray cat to like them.

A lot of it just leads to funny shenanigans because haha silly…

HOWEVER romance does eventually ensue when First begins to have a character arc and stop being so self-obsessed on the surface and becomes more openly caring/kind over time. This leads to Warriors taking notice that mayybbbee bro is more than meets the eye… and they start having their true will-they-won’t they romance with Prince-type x Tsundere vibes :)

Bruce ended up with Batman, the aggressive dark knight; Brucie (or Wayne), the smooth talking playboy; and Bruce, the awkward loner.

Meanwhile, Clark got split into Superman, the symbol of hope; Clark Kent, the mild-mannered but persistent journalist; and Kal-El, the alien longing to be accepted.

They had to live together until they could fix things, and surprisingly, the Clarks got along great. But the Bruces? Total chaos. Batman's always raging, especially at Brucie and that "reckless, overly-righteous" Superman. Brucie's busy flirting with anyone with a pulse, making Batman super uncomfortable. And then there's Bruce, who's avoiding everyone, especially Batman.

Living together forced both Bruce and Clark to face some deep issues they've been hiding, and they ended up understanding themselves better. Batman and Bruce had long heart-to-hearts about their fears and traumas, opening up emotionally. Clark learned more about the real Superman behind the hero facade, seeing the heavy burden of responsibility and Kal-El's loneliness.
