Pretty sure I broke 1k comments in Camp, uh... a while ago (I lost track by exactly how much oops), and I like memes, so it is meme time
( Read more... )
Santana uhh... is quite a something to Maka. They didn't start off that well at all, but soon enough they got on better terms. Maka is more than okay with this! Even though Santana is pretty... abrasive, Maka would rather be on good footing with someone than not. She still wishes Santana wasn't, though, and is actually really curious as to why she acts the way she does. It isn't obvious to her because her life and society around her is, naturally, vastly different from Santana's; while Maka is obviously a "doesn't take shit from anybody" kind of person, she's probably never really had anyone try to genuinely mess with her (I imagine this for a variety of reasons, but I digress) or her group of friends, and thus doesn't understand the mindset much. At any rate, going by what Santana's said to her at various moments Maka knows she couldn't be the only one that gets (or rather, has been in her case) bothered by her, and... yes. Is just really wondering why Santana chooses to piss everyone off instead of being. Well, nice.
THAT SAID yes they're on better terms. They have normal..ish conversations, which is more or less why Maka's decided that Santana can be a decent person and isn't all bad at all. The compliments here and there still kind of throw her off, but mostly because it contrasts so much of what Santana's initially uh, insulted her with-- it's kind of this "well that certainly doesn't sound like my first impression of you" sort of thing (which she knows she should probably try to shake off). Maka can either be modest or grow a huge ego depending on the person when it comes to compliments, but she's definitely still trying to figure out how to take them from Santana, haha (though she secretly feels vindicated about them).
So that music thread was actually kind of interesting for me, I admit! You were right in that Maka does feel a need to be in control with certain situations-- she's actually really blatant with it sometimes. I like to think that Maka is the kind of person who likes to understand the people she associates with often, and when she can't, it bugs her. Music is something that in canon is pretty much stated outright as something Maka Doesn't Get, and while on a normal day this wouldn't faze her, she's gotten pretty jealous when her friends (and more notably, Soul) could. So when Santana mentioned that music was her life, it was kind of a... I wouldn't say she dreaded hearing it, but rather, that inkling of annoyance was cropping up again. While I don't think that jealousy would ever grow that strongly around Santana (as they are now, anyway), it still bothers Maka a little bit. But she's mostly just a tad bitter. Despite that though, she is totally okay with supporting Santana's passion for it-- she may be musically dumb but that doesn't mean she won't recognize or compliment others' musical talents. And Maka is definitely sincere when she says she'll listen to Santana on that front. She wants to understand it on the same level! So. She will try, but lord knows what it'll take.
Aside from that, though, it's again as you said that it's the first time they were more or less on an equal basis, in that things were just. Going, between them. If that makes sense. And that's something else Maka can appreciate, because it just shows more that Santana isn't the complete jerk she makes herself off to be. Eeeven so, Maka is still kind of frank with her; she doesn't have any real malicious intent when she is now, but feels like Santana can take it when she calls her out on things, so she doesn't worry too much about it.
...Also, Maka still feels bad for punching her afjksl. I've been meaning to have her apologize for it but the opportunity hasn't really come up in a thread yet. UM. I'LL FIX THIS, SOMEHOW.
Ugh this is so long already but I still feel like I'm missing something. I'LL ... ADD TO IT IF I REMEMBER WHAT IT IS if there's anything. I can never shut up. :x
