since i have literally never done one journal style, and the recent week has pushed me into nearly 13k comments. I FEEL IT IS TIME FOR A QUESTIONS MEME. please. ask and ye shall receive.
Does Haru have an idea of what she wants for the future regarding herself in Imeeji, or herself with Yusuke and/or Joker? Does she have any dreams she wants to pursue, any goals she wants accomplished?
You know, rather recently. Haru was talking to C about the future. She...doesn’t have a set path in mind? But right now a “path” really isn’t what she is looking for. She has no intentions of leaving, she has no intentions of doing things too much differently than she is now.
Her current goal is to make friends with A, try to understand him a little more. Give him the chance that before she wasn’t willing to give him. Which is turning out okay! While they haven’t had any deep and meaningful conversations. She is noticing that they are spending a little more time together and that much is a step in the right direction.
As for Joker and Fox...she wants to keep being happy with them. Doing things that make them happy, being with each other if it makes them happy. It’s not new for Fox and Prim, who have been dating prior to both of them dating Joker. But it’s new with Joker, and new having all three of them together. So she wants to tread carefully and just, keep taking each day one by one.
So will ask this of you- What does Yusuke want from the future? How has Yasuragi leaving left an impact on him in the long run?
Yusuke doesn't have any concrete future plans outside of: stay with Joker and Haru. He's fully on-board with phantom thief plans and will basically do anything the group wants to do that doesn't involve demon brain shenanigans. His image of the future involves subduing the Producers (ideally by stealing their hearts, murder also under consideration?) and then returning home to live a normal life. It's all kind of nebulous at the moment but he thinks it would be wishful thinking to imagine more than that given how uncertain their everyday lives can be. I will say that he had a moment of thinking about marriage when talking with Sol recently, and came to the conclusion of, "That sounds like a neat idea and one day I will come back to it". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As for Yasuragi, Yusuke has a few small private rituals he keeps to himself that soothe the heartache left behind from Yasu leaving and then returning as a host. Once in a while he'll get up in the middle of the night and head out into the park and just dance, by himself. (Context) It's a way to remember him and a way to let out pent-up energy, but more than once it has ended with Yusuke getting too overwhelmed and he ends up in tears. He tries to think positively when it comes to Yasuragi but there's obviously a huge current of worry and heartbreak simmering inside him. Fortunately he's able to distract himself from dwelling on this too much because he is surrounded by many people who love him and take care of him. ♥ And because imeeji life is constantly chaotic.
What is something Haru wants for herself but can't bring herself to ask for it? Whether it's from her unit, from Joker, from Fox, or just from herself.
Hurricane is....so so good. Prim's view on Hurricane is much like one would view a younger sibling. You know, if she really knew how to describe what that felt like since she is presumably an only child.
She worries a lot about Hurricane, and she thinks that she very much got that point across when she told him she wanted him to be more open. Because she has already learned that closing yourself off emotionally is just...not good? It's got no benefit and she doesn't want to see Hurricane shut himself off so much that he's unable to ever be open or emotionally honest again.
She also enjoys the times that they have fun together? Whether it be just going to the arcade or running around in Henshin throwing water balloons at one another. Even if Imeeji can't always be a happy place she can admit that even when worst comes to worst, Hurricane's smile is super infectious and she can't help but smile back at him.
I want to touch a little on the end of ViewScream like you did on your Q's meme. It was so important to Prim that Hurricane was there to pull her out of her momentary hopelessness. She didn't want to keep going, she didn't want to do much at that time and she was very much shutting down? Trying to retreat to some place in her brain that was "safe", and it really just wasn't working. Telling Hurricane that she couldn't do it anymore wasn't so much to scare him, but just to vent her frustrations. So she is...really glad that he brought her back to where she needed to be.
Overall I would say that their CR is wildly positive, and has room to grow even more? I'm really excited to keep developing the two of them, and perhaps Prim helping him be a little more emotionally honest and not bottling things up so much.
THIS WAS....BASICALLY THE REVERSE TO YOUR CR MEME. So, I present you with this question:
What is Hurricane's favorite part about Imeeji? Like, one thing that he finds positive about their situation!
Despite the terrible things in Imeeji, there's also a whole lot Hurricane really appreciates about it. Being stuck in a mirror for a hundred years really skews your perspective, and when he actually got out, he was so grateful to have nice things again. It's been around three months since then, but that attitude is still very much in place.
The number one thing he loves about Imeeji is, there are so many people he cares about. There are just... people! All of the time. There are people he loves, and if he wants to, whenever he wants to, he can just... hang out with them. Or talk to them. Or sometimes there are hugs??
But also, there's a lot to do? There's a whole city, and any time he wants, he can just go somewhere else, or do something else. Do parkour, or go to the gym, or play video games, or ride his motorcycle. And he can have blanket piles, and order whatever he wants to eat, and he has projects he can entertain himself with and movies to watch.
Tl;dr, however bad Imeeji can be, Hurricane is SO grateful for so, so much of it.
Prim finds herself very lucky? She has a lot of people from home to support and be supported by. And while Ann and Haru don't get very much on screen socialization in the game, I am so glad we have been getting to explore that in Imeeji. Every conversation and thread that they have is so genuine and nice. North is very much someone that Prim finds easy to trust and confide in.
The first time North died? Prim hurt for her. The first time she got hurt in front of North? Prim wanted to tell North she would be okay, and that it was nothing. But that was mostly Prim's stubbornness not to seem like she can't pick herself up.
She WAS....actually surprised that North confessed to her. But not surprised in a bad way. She very much already had a crush on North. But she didn't want to sway North's feelings about it or tell her right away. Because of course...even with Joker and Fox, she is putting her heart out there for them and it's a vulnerable thing! But Prim trusts North, and trusts that she will take care of her heart and allow her to take care of hers in return. Like sure, this makes bad games a little more tough because sometimes you have to bus your SO's...but, Prim is willing to take calculated risks like this. Even if maybe everyone should talk about that eventually...like, "please don't think I hate you or want you gone just because my team had to bus you", sort of thing.
OVERALL, I am excited to see where they develop further even though I super love where they are now? They have so much room to grow and have set backs and all of the fun stuff that comes with being in a relationship.
North is pretty open about her feelings. She's not really into hiding how she feels, or what she wants unless there are reasons to do so that extend to "doing this will actively hurt someone I care about, and maybe I need to be better about that right now." So, for awhile, North decided that she wanted to be on the down low with her feelings, and try being a friend at first? Because Prim hit a lot of really great friend notes for her at the beginning! Like, she was even handed when North first got there, and while she respects WHY Mars and Joker did what they did, it's still a very useful contrast in what she wants to see in a friendship.
No immediate pressure, just let her come to her own conclusions without. Overloading her with the sense that something is wrong. And then there were more opportunities to connect and to really get to know Prim! So there was a lot of really good moments there. But a good balance was like. Those times they connected when shit sucked, to really let North get comfort from someone who probably had waaaaayyyy too much experience with that? North knew that dying sucked and that no one wanted her to experience it but then Prim was really comforting to be around, and she just wanted to snuggle her and forget her problems.
Which, she had to acknowledge to herself, was probably further than what you could call a "Friend." And then she had those moments where she knew she was flirting with Prim. She knew that Prim was receptive to the flirting, but North also didn't want to rush things to make Prim think she wasn't taking this seriously and was like... latching onto the first sign of comfort.
But after the series of bad games, North knows that really... sometimes latching onto the people you care about is really important, and it's the only way to survive hell. Prim is important to her, and she knows that that's enough for her, even if it's a pretty simplistic way of looking at things. And she wants to give Prim the support Prim gave her when she first got to Imeeji.
IF NORTH HADN'T CONFESSED... How do you think this would have gone?
I will CR for DVA first, unless you also want CR for Yugi.
Her first meeting with DVA was, well. It was very silly. She thought for sure that getting a new unitmate while she had amnesia of having amnesia was going to leave a last bad impression on DVA towards her...but it turns out it definitely didn't! Haru feels comfortable around her, happy, and always looking forward to spending time with her.
I said this in the Love Life novel, but Prim definitely lets her more playful side out around DVA because she sees that she gets a fun response from that. Especially during the kissing game when they fought for control of the kiss. That was both really good??? and rally hot?
But Prim overall feels like she can trust DVA, and she can confide in her, and she can spend time with her outside of the dorm. Learning to operate a motorcycle has been one of the funnest things that she has done in Imeeji tbh.
OVERALL, I think that they are moving in a resoundingly good direction? I think at some point Prim wants to be honest with her about the crush. But she doesn't expect anything to come out of it because DVA is just... super chill, and they don't necessarily need to date if they don't want to. Kissing and cuddling buddies is also very super valid.
she'd be glad to know that haru trusts her and that she feels comfortable around her, because she'd really just like everybody to have a good time and feel great. this place is shit enough without us making it worse for each other. that's part of why she's so playful, which has annoyed some people... oops 8( since it can also seem like she doesn't care, which, i guess, to a degree she doesn't. she's pretty sure she's dead and she really doesn't have many fucks left to give. this is her second chance! so she wants to make the most of it and help spread something resembling happiness because hell.
and she's so glad she had fun on motorcycle date! they need to do it again! and haru needs her own bike... though d.va could definitely just loan her the other one until she's super comfy riding. but she really likes prim! i legit through d.va was going to be all the imeeji woman and surprise! most of her crushes are guys. haru is one of the few girls, because she's cute and fun and d.va would definitely like to spend more time with her and get to know her better.
i think so too! and omg do it. d.va would be like really? she flirts a lot but generally doesn't expect things to really go anywhere? like sometimes she'd like it to, but super chill. she's also a bit awkward when it comes to actual feelings, so hope you're ready for some cute, awkward d.va. BUT YES. friends with benefits. i definitely want them to do more cute things! just general bonding! because gal pals~~~ i'm sad she missed the bath thing with hiryuu and prim, because that would have been awesome, but 131/132 were busy af for her. PHEW.
but to sum it up d.va really likes haru too and wants to get to know her better! also kissing more :x~♥
Anyways. I feel like Prim would a super jovial high person? Like. Super giggly, happy, a little too clingy. Would be that person to be super max chilled and tell you how wonderful your entire face is.
REVERSE, if Yvette were to let go enough to be high. What would she be like?
She wouldn't, but it would be the same reaction she would have to being extremely drunk, which is complete shut down. If she knows she's compromised, all her energy will go into appearing as sober as possible. She stops talking, in case something might slip out. Just. Hyper-aware that she is way more likely to fuck something up and that spooks her badly.
If she were a very safe space, she'd just fall asleep. It would feel amazing.
THE EMOTIONAL SITCH! It's very complicated in some places, and very smooth sailing in other places. First off lets just start with saying that Prim is very much convinced that she's going to mess up being a girlfriend somehow. It's tough when you go from no relationships, to one, to suddenly three?! Like. She is not complaining at all because she very much loves those people that she is dating. But what if she messes something up or does something wrong or she isn't enough for them. Prim has a lot of love to give, but what if she doesn't give it good enough!!
But past her worries about how good she is at the girlfriend thing? She is very happy with the current state of affairs.
Starting off with Fox... I GUESS THE "OG BOYFRIEND". They started dating after the mistletoe game. Her first real venture into having a relationship and boy it has been both an adventure and getting used to how smothering he can be at times. When Fox loves he loves with his whole heart, his whole soul, and his whole body. Prim is very much appreciative of Fox showing her the good in love and the good in having someone who wants to support you through thick and thin. Prim feels wholeheartedly loved by Fox, and thus she finds it easy to just be with him. Fox understands if you want to just sit and be quiet, and he's getting better at knowing when it's okay to push her to talk. Prim is....notoriously kind of bad at talking about her own problems and before she started being more open with both Fox AND Joker, Fox would be the one to gently bully her into talking a little more and things have ended up greatly improving there even if she isn't like that with everyone.
Fox is very good for Prim's experimental side. She likes to experiment with him. He was the first one she had sex with in Imeeji and ever since then...intimacy has been a lot of-- "well we can do this here or we can be adventurous and do it there". She's very soft with Fox. So he doesn't get a lot of the domineering side. He gets gentle topping from her, and she allows him to top her as well.
Joker was someone Prim knew she could trust from the start once she knew who he was and once she started getting memories of him. It was nice to know that someone so strong willed was her leader at home. Similar to Fox, her feelings for Joker really started blossoming during and after the mistletoe game, however! Joker was still with Maki at the time, and there was no way she wanted to get in the way of that thing he had going on with Maki and A. Mostly because she wanted to respect the three of them and not try to butt into that. But it never really changed how she felt. THEN....HEARTGAME HAPPENED? Heartgame sure happened. That Lovers Room Sure Happened. Her stealing the box was big code for, "I'll take care of your heart no matter what". It still is, and always will be. Maybe she picked up on "loving with your whole heart" from an extended IC amount of time dating Fox, who really knows. Prim genuinely wants to do good by Joker, and make big effort to understand what he has been through and how she can't necessarily fix it but she CAN be there to support him working through those things. She does not love cautiously with Joker because she does feel lucky to have him.
Joker is good for Prim's dom/more playfully rough side. Good for her to be a little rough with. Good for her to fall into when she wants to try something potentially that she thinks Fox wouldn't be too into or that she thinks might be a little too rough. The fact that Joker allows her to lead intimate situations is a big big turn on, and the fact that he eggs her on when he knows it's something that will allow them both to feel satisfied is also an extremely huge turn on for her.
SUMMARY FOR THOSE TWO IS....she loves them a lot. She wants to be the best girlfriend she can be, and she very much 100% loves the mutual support they give each other. Bad games are hard when you have boyf's on two different units and you might have to bus them. But, I am under the impression that even unsaid. They sort of understand that is the nature of this terrible place.
Next up is NORTH! Which Prim is now newly dating. North is soft, good, and a wonderful balance for Prim. Because while she tasks herself with taking care of Joker and Fox...North makes it her goddamn mission to make sure Prim is taken care of. Not to say that Joker and Fox don't! Because they do! But Prim is very adamant about being the one to TAKE care of not BE TAKEN CARE of. Their relationship is still so small and new, so Prim is treading with care here. But it's really not a bad thing. She finds it cute that Joker encouraged the pursuing. This relationship is still very much in the soft stage and Prim's one fear is that North doesn't know....or won't like the whole "you might have to bus me" in a bad game thing.
MOVING ONTO CRUSHES!! She has FEW?! Really?
Mars is still a big crush for her. She respects the fact that he is still weird about committing to too many people. So no matter if they feel the same neither of them are going to do anything about it until Mars gives the green light, and honestly? Prim is okay with that. Because it doesn't mean that she doesn't care about him or won't have him around. As much as he is crush, he is unit. Unit means a lot to Prim, and so she knows that she has that unwavering support from him and she can give it in return. SHE WILL JUST, DIE IN HER MARS DOKI. IT'S! FINE!
Her other crush is D.VA-- but that isn't too too deep yet. It's very much a "girl hot" situation as of right now. She's pretty, she's nice, she taught Prim to ride/drive a motorcycle and she's a really good kisser...sweats. So DVA has very much been able to tap into Prim's more playful side.
Other sitches arrrre....
Making out with Plover is nice. FWB, nothing more than that. No emotional attachment. Just making out with a hot croc.
Sunshine is someone she's had changed feelings about. She THOUGHT she might have had feelings for him at one point early on. They kissed a few times. But it very much landed back in, "well you can kiss me but it doesn't mean I have feelings for you", territory. It's not a bad thing. They're still friends. But it's not something she is going to pursue past friendship.
Maki....is complicated. Initially she really genuinely liked Maki. She still likes her, really. But Prim knows that she personally isn't the best with words and her own reaction to Maki's live was purely emotional. That was a real bad day in Imeeji-land for her anyways. Seeing as her unit had fought in the game that Maki held that huge live over. Maki is currently someone Prim wishes to mend bridges with but she isn't going to push it knowing that she could potentially say the wrong thing or maybe misunderstand her or something like that. So her getting the courage to talk to Maki again is where she is at with that. Wheeze.
THAT IS THE CURRENT SITCH. AT THIS TIME. Tell me some of Joker's favorite things about his SO's and Kissing Buddies and Crushes!! THIS GOT LONG I AM SO SORRY.
Their CR started off super great! Actually! They were cute, and fun, and Prim likes to encourage people to always be their best self. And she knows the Sekhmet tried? Like Prim was given fair warning of how she felt and yet she decided to take the idealistic approach and think, "Oh well you can definitely sway those bad thoughts".
And then, PPP happened and things got super awkward between them. To this day, ICly, she has no idea of what went down between King and Sekhmet. But Primrose IS unsure of why she was the one who got the apology she we was merely a bystander in that whole situation. It doesn't mean that she doesn't appreciate it all the same....!
As far as things go for now? Prim is working on rebuilding the small friendship they had before. Trust....might never happen, or very little will be given. But what might actually not be that surprising considering the situation.
The ordering system! Where you order on your phone and then you in most cases get what you ordered immediately. She finds that system rather fun and useful!
So at first Sekhmet really looked up to and had quite a crush on Primrose! This was because she met her quite early on, and Primrose was immediately nice and supportive and complimented her a lot when she was very vulnerable. That has faded a bit as she met more people and got a couple of nebulous sort-of girlfriends and found other mentor-like figures and became better able to stand on her own feet, all while not interacting very frequently with Prim. PPP was horrible and traumatic for Sekhmet, and she has pretty major emotional scars from it, but it also made her more self reliant, resilient and oriented around responsibility.
Nevertheless she still genuinely likes Prim, even though she is very aware of the distance that grew up between them as a result of what happened. She did of course apologize to King, but that incident made it clear that approaching him again wasn't really going to happen, so after apologizing and explaining to the people most immediately involved, she wanted to try and be open to the other people who may have been hurt from the "splash damage" of the incident, as it were. She felt like she owed them that much, and that she still does. Opening up was very stressful for her though, and truth be told, she does feel sad and bitter, even a little angry that a certain distance grew between several people, even though it's not quite that she blames them specifically, and she also feels guilty that that bitterness exists- after all, Sekhmet did something extremely bad, even if it wasn't her own will to do so! Prim is a bit of an exception, because she does feel some bitterness and betrayal specifically towards her, because she outright told Prim about her worries that something like this might happen, and Prim comforted her and told her it wouldn't be a problem and that she would be there to support Sekhmet- and what happened instead was this polite but cold emotional barrier. It hurt her. And even though she hates herself a little for feeling this resentment, she can't help but feel it.
But because Sekhmet was very slow to trust at all- she has faith in people, affection towards people, but doesn't take for granted their own positive disposition towards her, and tries to maintain a little emotional distance, it makes it possible for her to still interact with Prim without that pain overwhelming her.
She definitely hides these feelings well in any case- she feels like she owes it to everybody to be as responsible and helpful and benevolent as possible, even to the point of straining herself a little, which is part of why she has been so politely genial with Prim since then. She needs to show people that she is not who she was at her worst, and that includes Prim, especially because she was a source of comfort for her early on.
Prim cares a lot about Wednesday. A lot because Wednesday is genuinely a sweet person and a lot because that sweetness is going to get her hurt one of these days. In reality? It probably already has? Prim has felt protective over her very early on, trying to save her some of the worst trauma and trying to keep her from feeling too abnormal with her life in Tokyo-F.
Now, this isn't saying that this can happen all the time. Because Imeeji is just going to Imeeji sometimes. And while she wants to spare her the worst, she also understands that surviving so much and watching your friends die and get hurt instead must take some sort of mental toll on you.
Which brings me to the way that Prim saw, in her own mind, that Pep played during the Castle game. To preface, this is not negative! While Prim was a little panicked to see what was going on, and a little angry afterwards that Pep Pep even tried something so foolish-- she totally gets it. Pep wanted to give so that others could live. even if it meant risking themselves. And ultimately while their plan backfired, it all goes back to being tired of seeing your friends hurt and wrecked all the time and perhaps that move was what Pep was trying to prevent at all costs.
Did it damage their friendship? No. Did it hurt Prim that Wednesday knew the consequences and went ahead and did it anyways? A LITTLE. But they moved past it quick, and things are fine now. Overall I see these two moving in a positive direction. I'd love for Prim to be a little more open with Wednesday....and finally tell her what her real name is!!
As for a community upgrade with no questions asked? Hands down an axe throwing court!!!!

Tl;dr, however bad Imeeji can be, Hurricane is SO grateful for so, so much of it.
Reverse for Prim. :0a

Prim finds herself very lucky? She has a lot of people from home to support and be supported by. And while Ann and Haru don't get very much on screen socialization in the game, I am so glad we have been getting to explore that in Imeeji.

I said this in the Love Life novel, but Prim definitely lets her more playful side out around DVA because she sees that she gets a fun response from that. Especially during the kissing game when they fought for control of the kiss. That was both really good??? and rally hot?
But Prim overall feels like she can trust DVA, and she can confide in her, and she can spend time with her outside of the dorm. Learning to operate a motorcycle has been one of the funnest things that she has done in Imeeji tbh.
OVERALL, I think that they are moving in a resoundingly good direction? I think at some point Prim wants to be honest with her about the crush. But she doesn't expect anything to come out of it because DVA is just... super chill, and they don't necessarily need to date if they don't want to. Kissing and cuddling buddies is also very super valid.
RESVERSE ME!!

she'd be glad to know that haru trusts her and that she feels comfortable around her, because she'd really just like everybody to have a good time and feel great. this place is shit enough without us making it worse for each other. that's part of why she's so playful, which has annoyed some people... oops 8( since it can also seem like she doesn't care, which, i guess, to a degree she doesn't. she's pretty sure she's dead and she really doesn't have many fucks left to give. this is her second chance! so she wants to make the most of it and help spread something resembling happiness because hell.
and she's so glad she had fun on motorcycle date! they need to do it again! and haru needs her own bike... though d.va could definitely just loan her the other one until she's super comfy riding. but she really likes prim! i legit through d.va was going to be all the imeeji woman and surprise! most of her crushes are guys. haru is one of the few girls, because she's cute and fun and d.va would definitely like to spend more time with her and get to know her better.
i think so too! and omg do it. d.va would be like really? she flirts a lot but generally doesn't expect things to really go anywhere? like sometimes she'd like it to, but super chill. she's also a bit awkward when it comes to actual feelings, so hope you're ready for some cute, awkward d.va. BUT YES. friends with benefits. i definitely want them to do more cute things! just general bonding! because gal pals~~~ i'm sad she missed the bath thing with hiryuu and prim, because that would have been awesome, but 131/132 were busy af for her. PHEW.
but to sum it up d.va really likes haru too and wants to get to know her better! also kissing more :x~♥

Anyways. I feel like Prim would a super jovial high person? Like. Super giggly, happy, a little too clingy. Would be that person to be super max chilled and tell you how wonderful your entire face is.
REVERSE, if Yvette were to let go enough to be high. What would she be like?

But past her worries about how good she is at the girlfriend thing? She is very happy with the current state of affairs.
Starting off with Fox... I GUESS THE "OG BOYFRIEND". They started dating after the mistletoe game. Her first real venture into having a relationship and boy it has been both an adventure and getting used to how smothering he can be at times. When Fox loves he loves with his whole heart, his whole soul, and his whole body. Prim is very much appreciative of Fox showing her the good in love and the good in having someone who wants to support you through thick and thin. Prim feels wholeheartedly loved by Fox, and thus she finds it easy to just be with him. Fox understands if you want to just sit and be quiet, and he's getting better at knowing when it's okay to push her to talk. Prim is....notoriously kind of bad at talking about her own problems and before she started being more open with both Fox AND Joker, Fox would be the one to gently bully her into talking a little more and things have ended up greatly improving there even if she isn't like that with everyone.
Fox is very good for Prim's experimental side. She likes to experiment with him. He was the first one she had sex with in Imeeji and ever since then...intimacy has been a lot of-- "well we can do this here or we can be adventurous and do it there". She's very soft with Fox. So he doesn't get a lot of the domineering side. He gets gentle topping from her, and she allows him to top her as well.
Joker was someone Prim knew she could trust from the start once she knew who he was and once she started getting memories of him. It was nice to know that someone so strong willed was her leader at home. Similar to Fox, her feelings for Joker really started blossoming during and after the mistletoe game, however! Joker was still with Maki at the time, and there was no way she wanted to get in the way of that thing he had going on with Maki and A. Mostly because she wanted to respect the three of them and not try to butt into that. But it never really changed how she felt. THEN....HEARTGAME HAPPENED? Heartgame sure happened. That Lovers Room Sure Happened. Her stealing the box was big code for, "I'll take care of your heart no matter what". It still is, and always will be. Maybe she picked up on "loving with your whole heart" from an extended IC amount of time dating Fox, who really knows. Prim genuinely wants to do good by Joker, and make big effort to understand what he has been through and how she can't necessarily fix it but she CAN be there to support him working through those things. She does not love cautiously with Joker because she does feel lucky to have him.
Joker is good for Prim's dom/more playfully rough side. Good for her to be a little rough with. Good for her to fall into when she wants to try something potentially that she thinks Fox wouldn't be too into or that she thinks might be a little too rough. The fact that Joker allows her to lead intimate situations is a big big turn on, and the fact that he eggs her on when he knows it's something that will allow them both to feel satisfied is also an extremely huge turn on for her.
SUMMARY FOR THOSE TWO IS....she loves them a lot. She wants to be the best girlfriend she can be, and she very much 100% loves the mutual support they give each other. Bad games are hard when you have boyf's on two different units and you might have to bus them. But, I am under the impression that even unsaid. They sort of understand that is the nature of this terrible place.
Next up is NORTH! Which Prim is now newly dating. North is soft, good, and a wonderful balance for Prim. Because while she tasks herself with taking care of Joker and Fox...North makes it her goddamn mission to make sure Prim is taken care of. Not to say that Joker and Fox don't! Because they do! But Prim is very adamant about being the one to TAKE care of not BE TAKEN CARE of. Their relationship is still so small and new, so Prim is treading with care here. But it's really not a bad thing. She finds it cute that Joker encouraged the pursuing. This relationship is still very much in the soft stage and Prim's one fear is that North doesn't know....or won't like the whole "you might have to bus me" in a bad game thing.
MOVING ONTO CRUSHES!! She has FEW?! Really?
Mars is still a big crush for her. She respects the fact that he is still weird about committing to too many people. So no matter if they feel the same neither of them are going to do anything about it until Mars gives the green light, and honestly? Prim is okay with that. Because it doesn't mean that she doesn't care about him or won't have him around. As much as he is crush, he is unit. Unit means a lot to Prim, and so she knows that she has that unwavering support from him and she can give it in return. SHE WILL JUST, DIE IN HER MARS DOKI. IT'S! FINE!
Her other crush is D.VA-- but that isn't too too deep yet. It's very much a "girl hot" situation as of right now. She's pretty, she's nice, she taught Prim to ride/drive a motorcycle and she's a really good kisser...sweats. So DVA has very much been able to tap into Prim's more playful side.
Other sitches arrrre....
Making out with Plover is nice. FWB, nothing more than that. No emotional attachment. Just making out with a hot croc.
Sunshine is someone she's had changed feelings about. She THOUGHT she might have had feelings for him at one point early on. They kissed a few times. But it very much landed back in, "well you can kiss me but it doesn't mean I have feelings for you", territory. It's not a bad thing. They're still friends. But it's not something she is going to pursue past friendship.
Maki....is complicated. Initially she really genuinely liked Maki. She still likes her, really. But Prim knows that she personally isn't the best with words and her own reaction to Maki's live was purely emotional. That was a real bad day in Imeeji-land for her anyways. Seeing as her unit had fought in the game that Maki held that huge live over. Maki is currently someone Prim wishes to mend bridges with but she isn't going to push it knowing that she could potentially say the wrong thing or maybe misunderstand her or something like that. So her getting the courage to talk to Maki again is where she is at with that. Wheeze.
THAT IS THE CURRENT SITCH. AT THIS TIME. Tell me some of Joker's favorite things about his SO's and Kissing Buddies and Crushes!! THIS GOT LONG I AM SO SORRY.

And then, PPP happened and things got super awkward between them. To this day, ICly, she has no idea of what went down between King and Sekhmet. But Primrose IS unsure of why she was the one who got the apology she we was merely a bystander in that whole situation. It doesn't mean that she doesn't appreciate it all the same....!
As far as things go for now? Prim is working on rebuilding the small friendship they had before. Trust....might never happen, or very little will be given. But what might actually not be that surprising considering the situation.
The ordering system! Where you order on your phone and then you in most cases get what you ordered immediately. She finds that system rather fun and useful!

Nevertheless she still genuinely likes Prim, even though she is very aware of the distance that grew up between them as a result of what happened. She did of course apologize to King, but that incident made it clear that approaching him again wasn't really going to happen, so after apologizing and explaining to the people most immediately involved, she wanted to try and be open to the other people who may have been hurt from the "splash damage" of the incident, as it were. She felt like she owed them that much, and that she still does. Opening up was very stressful for her though, and truth be told, she does feel sad and bitter, even a little angry that a certain distance grew between several people, even though it's not quite that she blames them specifically, and she also feels guilty that that bitterness exists- after all, Sekhmet did something extremely bad, even if it wasn't her own will to do so! Prim is a bit of an exception, because she does feel some bitterness and betrayal specifically towards her, because she outright told Prim about her worries that something like this might happen, and Prim comforted her and told her it wouldn't be a problem and that she would be there to support Sekhmet- and what happened instead was this polite but cold emotional barrier. It hurt her. And even though she hates herself a little for feeling this resentment, she can't help but feel it.
But because Sekhmet was very slow to trust at all- she has faith in people, affection towards people, but doesn't take for granted their own positive disposition towards her, and tries to maintain a little emotional distance, it makes it possible for her to still interact with Prim without that pain overwhelming her.
She definitely hides these feelings well in any case- she feels like she owes it to everybody to be as responsible and helpful and benevolent as possible, even to the point of straining herself a little, which is part of why she has been so politely genial with Prim since then. She needs to show people that she is not who she was at her worst, and that includes Prim, especially because she was a source of comfort for her early on.

Also: what would her dream community upgrade be if she could pick one with no pushback?
no subject
Prim cares a lot about Wednesday. A lot because Wednesday is genuinely a sweet person and a lot because that sweetness is going to get her hurt one of these days. In reality? It probably already has? Prim has felt protective over her very early on, trying to save her some of the worst trauma and trying to keep her from feeling too abnormal with her life in Tokyo-F.
Now, this isn't saying that this can happen all the time. Because Imeeji is just going to Imeeji sometimes. And while she wants to spare her the worst, she also understands that surviving so much and watching your friends die and get hurt instead must take some sort of mental toll on you.
Which brings me to the way that Prim saw, in her own mind, that Pep played during the Castle game. To preface, this is not negative! While Prim was a little panicked to see what was going on, and a little angry afterwards that Pep Pep even tried something so foolish-- she totally gets it. Pep wanted to give so that others could live. even if it meant risking themselves. And ultimately while their plan backfired, it all goes back to being tired of seeing your friends hurt and wrecked all the time and perhaps that move was what Pep was trying to prevent at all costs.
Did it damage their friendship? No. Did it hurt Prim that Wednesday knew the consequences and went ahead and did it anyways? A LITTLE. But they moved past it quick, and things are fine now. Overall I see these two moving in a positive direction. I'd love for Prim to be a little more open with Wednesday....and finally tell her what her real name is!!
As for a community upgrade with no questions asked? Hands down an axe throwing court!!!!
REVERSE ME!!
