okay here is ezra's plotting thread! he hasn't joined yet but he will be joining within the next day or so

he's a real asshole but he can be won over by lollipops and sugar

he's open to friendships, enemies, frenemies, romance, helping others learn how to fight, getting in fights with others, being a drinking buddy, or getting into trouble somehow

he's closed for killing others, dying, and all that other risky business

ooh look tags

Ellie and Ezra will be such an iconic duo. Let us commence the plotting.

[align=center][div style="background=transparent; borderwidth=0px; bordercolor=; width: 500px; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 125%; text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"]@ zayden: wow they'd be everything. i feel like ezra would be so caught off guard with zayden actually not getting annoyed by his remarks- and actually that he seems to find it endearing??
i feel like ezra would never say or tell zayden that he's one of his friends but still see him strolling up to the other like "my bitch"

@ truce
ah fren!! yes of course!! they'd be iconic!!
i think ezra being such a brat would be?? kinda good for ellie? like having someone so blunt and real with her and not beating around the bush about all her problems
like maybe it would help her get her confidence up

[tomorrow]

Tomorrow's generally a pretty anxious and by the books guy, and honestly I can see a friendship growing between them and going so many different ways? My first thought is that Tomorrow might try to steer Ezra away from getting into trouble and generally be the one common sense friend who's got Ezra's back but definitely is gonna be worrying about everything, but tbh they could go anywhere so let's get into this

[ikigai.]

[align=center][div style="background=transparent; borderwidth=0px; bordercolor=; width: 500px; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 125%; text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"]oml tomorrow and ezra would have such a fun friendship i think. like i see ezra constantly putting tomorrow out of his comfort zone by getting him wrapped up into doing crazy things, but also tomorrow sort of keeping him out of trouble. it'd be so cute oml. i think this has to happen

[tomorrow]

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking! It'd be sweet and hilarious in my opinion tbh, and yeah I agree this has gotta happen

[ikigai.]

[align=center][div style="background=transparent; borderwidth=0px; bordercolor=; width: 500px; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 125%; text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"]i feel like ezra would start out being his usual rude self to tomorrow just to see that tomorrow is so anxious and calling him names doesn't help

so he kinda eases off on the rude remarks and they're moreso playful than anything

but then tomorrow is like "why are you being so nice"
"i'm not being nice shut up asshole"

[tomorrow]

Tomorrow would be really appreciative that Ezra lays off the name calling though yeah he'd be a bit confused at the sudden 180 of Ezra's personality, though if Ezra isn't going to explain it then Tomorrow's not gonna push too hard.

Tomorrow might try to dish out some playful insults of his own once he's more comfortable around Ezra, but tbh it'd be Real awkward and stilted and I imagine Ezra would tell him to stick to being nice for now.

[align=center][div style="background=transparent; borderwidth=0px; bordercolor=; width: 500px; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 125%; text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"]don't get me wrong i still see ezra trying to boss tomorrow around or involve him in his shenanigans, but at least he'd lay off on the creatively insulting nicknames HA

tomorrow tries dishing out insults and ezra is like "er,,, just stick to the mushy nice crap you were doing before"
they'd be such a funny duo and honestly i love it
