i never asked THE question 😓😓 but i will now cuz i’m bored as hell! (nvm i js realised i have done this already but i didn’t have my darling daughter yu-ming before that and they lowk weren’t this developed so it’s whatever)


what would you guys’ MCs (and/or non-MCs) relationship be with my MCs?? (Kojo and Yu-Ming)


Some basic explanations abt them per step if you do not know my characters well!:

pre-step 1 Kojo is a nice, energetic, and pretty friendly person! He however can get very protective and angry about his friends and doesn’t hesitate to fight people older than him. He is born in Melbourne, Australia and moved to Compton, California at 6 before finally moving to Golden Grove, Oregon 🙏 In Step 1 he’s still the same, however he is a little bit of grump because he had to move again. He also toned down on the aggressiveness, keeping it to thoughts. In Step 2 Kojo goes through depression and his undiagnosed autism gets a bit much with him heavily masking when getting to middle school and onwards, his past aggressive tendencies are also coming back alongs side an apathetic aside with borderline sociopathic behaviour 💔💔 he gets into fights (outside of school, since he’s vice-president and really likes that position) and kind of gets a rep of being cold, stoic, blunt and spunky. If you get to know him, he’s quite the sweetheart however! You do need to tell him you consider him a friend because, yk… social cues ain’t his specialty 💔 He has a knack for writing poems and making music to process his emotions (some poems and lyrics therefore might be a lil explicit and disturbing 😓😓) He also likes to learn different languages and would probably learn your MC’s native language in a way of showing affection. In step 3 he is still processing some shit that happened in step 2, but is doing miles better 🙏🙏 he still has all the problematic tendencies and apathetic personality but finds himself to blend in with others pretty well! He has always been blunt, and still is. He is still uncaring and cold but hides it pretty well behind faux interest 😒😒 he does hold absolute interest and love towards people he actually likes, and tries to hold his attention to them the best he can! (he’s trying) He also plays two instruments now; the violin and the bass guitar! He likes to sing too, but like, he’s a little shy 😓😓 In his free time he loves to play his instruments, study psychology and human behaviour + biology bcs he’s lowk a bit of a loser and still doesn’t really understand all the social cues stuff, and read & write. In step 4 i guess he’d be a little less apathetic?? he still very much is but he’s a bit less blunt and ‘rude’ as others would call him.

Yu-Ming on the other hand is a very sweet girl! She’s a darling and loves bugs and animals! Pre step 1, she lives in China (idk where yet) until 7 before moving to Texas! Yu-Ming already learned a little English back in China but is a fast learner and becomes pretty fluid quickly. She loves to make friends and is very extroverted 🫶🏽🫶🏽 In step 1 this is all still the same, she also develops a love for the forest and all the plants and stuff there. In step 2 she’s still extroverted, but also doesn’t mind having a few less friends rather than a big crowd of people. She likes to bake and make treats for the people dear to her 🙁❤️ she is a polar opposite of Kojo and very empathetic, and would probably drop everything to make sure your Mc’s alright if they’re hurt or going through something. No need to be close or seen as ‘important’ or even ‘valuable’ like Kojo. In step 3 she’s still a lovely bug 💗💗 she’s honestly the same as her step 2 self but a bit less selfless. She has learned to let herself have some things too and has achieved a nice balance of such. In her free time she likes to read and help around. She’s actually quite buff, with visible muscles in her arms and visible abs if she wears a tighter shirt! In step 4 this continues and yeah, that’s it.

BLYTHE AND YU-MING WOULD SOO BE GREAT FRIENDS!! like, they could meet at ANY given step and STILL be good friends in any of them! Blythe is usually (or more like ALWAYS) very hyperactive and energetic most of the time.. but there's a list of people that she acts "normal" around and the people in that list are COMPLETELY RANDOM. but yu-ming and kojo are in that list lmao.

With Kojo, Blythe would probably also be either friends or is friendly with him (as she is with everyone lol). If they met in Step 2 though, Blythe might see Kojo as somewhat intimidating because of his position and reputation, but still be friendly towards him!

YU-MING AND BLYTHE MY DEARS 🙁💗 idk much about blythe but i feel like they’d be adorbs with one another ❤️❤️

Kojo would, in my mind, actually like Blythe a bit! as long as she isn’t overly energetic around him (he has a shit social battery and also sensitive to like… chaos?? idk how to word it he just doesn’t like people being everywhere all at once around him) idk if blythe is of any non american ethnicity but she’d definitely be someone he’d learn a language for 🤞🏽🤞🏽

Bacon and Kojo probably wouldn’t be friends until step 2 when Kojo would be able to  recognize some of the same autistic tendencies he has in Bacon. I feel like he’d get along with Yu-Ming just fine through. I imagine she would kinda treat him like a little kid which is how most people treat him in steps 1-3.

I feel like Sin and Kojo would probably be good friends, their personalities are opposite but they both have the same hatred for bullies. Sin and Yu-Ming would either be a power duo or a recipient for disaster. Sin also tends to put other’s needs before their own too much so the two would be constantly worried for each other without taking care of themselves.

KitKat and Kojo likely wouldn’t get along, they both have the same cold, blunt, and uninterested attitude which I don’t think would mix well. Yu-Ming would also likely annoy KitKat for a while after they first meet because she doesn’t like social activity. Also, even though she’s blind, she doesn’t like people being super worried about her. It makes her feel like she’s being treated like a baby. They would likely get along after a while though.

I like all these dynamics! But i fear you may have interpreted Yu-Ming’s kindness for babying/pitying 😭😭 none of my MCs would ever baby someone other than, well, a baby … as someone who has been babied most of my life due to physical disabilities and such (and still am), i absolutely hate it and would never ever make my MCs do such 🫶🏽🫶🏽 Yu-Ming would still be kind to Bacon and Kath, but never baby. She knows where the limit is and would probably ask either of them what they prefer in terms of helping/caring and such. If she knows Kathryne can handle herself most of the time if not all time she’ll leave her do her thing! ❤️

Oh I gotcha, I misinterpreted it with Bacon but I didn’t actually mean she’d baby KitKat. I just meant that Kathryne just doesn’t like to be the center of attention and is stubborn to a fault, so having people worry about her or help her do things, even if she actually needs their help, feels condescending to her when it’s really not.

Mari would be terrified of Kojo 😭 Well, in step 2 at least. I think she wouldn't mind having him around in step 1-3-4. But Mari and he could get along in step 2 if they started talking to each other by some miracle. As for Yu-Ming, get ready for the special "I don't know that I have a puppy crush" SPECIAL!!! She'd get along in all steps, though she'd be unnerved in step 2 due to her friendly personality (trust issues dearie 😔). I think they'd be friends basically, maybe lovers, but we'd be slow burning like requiemduo. Either way, she's gonna be compliant with both of them because they could both break her arm 👍

Kel would be kind of unnerved by Kojo, but not enough to try and talk to him (and be a little annoying), they would be acquaintances in step 1 due to Kojo's grumpiness and Kel's somewhat cold nature with strangers. Other than that, they could get along on the other steps. As for Yu Ming, yeah, they'd get along, even in step 1. Natural besties over here 🙏. He'd have a little puppy crush on both of them, as he does with most of his friends.

Elias is well, same as Mari. Utterly terrified of Kojo. But at the same time, he trusts him due to his position as Vice President, and they MIGHT be able to get along in Step 3-4 if someone introduced them or something. However, they won't get along in Step 1 due to Elias being a bitter boy and stuff. For Yu Ming, yeah, she's looking out for that dude. They might not be able to get along in Step one, BUT Yu Ming would make sure Elias was ok, and healthy :3

Yu-Ming carrying Mari like a bride off into the sunset while peppering her face with kisses real not fake fellas 🙏🙏🙏💗💗💗💗 yumari my loves 🤞🏽🤞🏽

Kojo may or may not be intimidating on purpose with Elias, he sometimes likes to be scary I fear 😓😓

i forgot Kel but honestly fair, esp the puppy crush bcs both of them are very pretty (Opal’s genes I do not fear ❤️❤️)

i havent made Runie and Kanra’s dynamics with Yu-Ming yet so LETS GO 


Runie🌟🌼

-  OH MY GOD THEEEE BAKING DUO FRFR 😭😭😭 Even though they have kinda the same personality that can bounce off eachother well id like to think they get close at around Step 2 because Runie would be more inclined to feel comfortable around her (and they get off well when they find out in a baking class maybe that theyre both really REALLLY talented in that)


Kanra🍓🐞

-  sadly i think she’d find her a bit boring and doesnt make any attempts to befriend her. Shes polite to her though! She respects Yu-Mings kindness and, surprisingly, doesnt make fun or be unintentionally mean about that. Kanra may piss people off sometimes but shes not a monster 😭😭 even SHE gets affected by the Yu-Ming effect (even if she doesnt befriend her wjdnsnsbsn)

(+2)(-1)

Kojo when he walks into the kitchen and sees three wedding type cakes with Runie and Yu-Ming just standing there all proud like: ‘Ko, look we made a few cakes! pretty easy tbh, we might make some french pastries next!! 😊😊’

Yu-Ming and Kanra 😭😭💗💗 I feel like Yu-Ming would bake snacks and stuff for her just bcs she can 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ maybe have a small crush on her too (she WILL make little treats with her in mind 🤭)

(+2)(-1)

Watch Runie and Yu-Ming enter the british bake off and having to share the 1st place spot because there was literally no way to choose a winner so they just shared the title LMAOOOOO


Her and Kanra’s relationship is like someone  befriending the neighborhood stray cat and them getting the chance to pet them sometimes 😭😭 BUT AWWWW THATS SO CUTEE!!

YESS ITS THE QUESTION im gonna answer for Yuming since we talked about dynamics w kojo he's canonically yapping with Fio about mythology and doing brother dynamic stuff with Judy now 😼

i want to start with Fio and Yuming CAUSE THEY'D GET SO ALONG RAHHH ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF BUGS Fio is also an insect nerd and would kill for any chance to yap about them already so i think they'd approach the same bug (if Yuming likes randomly examining them too), bump into eachother, go "YOU TOO!!??" and form a lifetime friendship on the spot. just this in all steps they yap about bugs together, make friendship bracelets, Fio trusts her enough to hide behind her when a butterfly shows up etc . THEIR CHARACTERS JUST GENERALLY FIT SO MUCH I THINK FIO WOULD INSTANTLY FEEL SAFE WITH HER 😭🫶 

and she's having a strong bond with Jude too!! sweet extroverted people are one of his favorite people already so i think in step 1 Yuming would befriend him somewhat and Jude would follow her like a lost puppy cause he thinks she's too cool, it might falter a little on step 2, i just feel like they might grow apart but they'd reconnect and continue their friendship this time in a more balanced way in step 3. i feel like they'd often have picnics on the forest and read together CAUSE WHY NOT

(+2)(-1)

FIO AND YUMING AUGH 🙁🙁❤️❤️ fio being scared of butterflies is a new thing i’ve learned but that’s so cute actually and very valid too 🫶🏽 The friendship bracelets 😭😭 the bug talk and examinating them😭😭 Yu-Ming would definitely make fiore treats in the shape(s) of her favourite bug(s)!!

JUDE AND YUMING ARE SO CUTE TOO OMG 🙁🙁🙁 picnics in the forest, that’s so real actually and canon now 🙏🙏 i can imagine what a vibe that’s be like omg 😦 and the slight fall out 💔💔 i mean it happens sometimes but THANK GOD they get better in step 3 because i don’t think Yu-Ming coulda handled losing a friend like Jude 😓😓

fio yuming jude and kojo just a bunch of siblings in my eyes fr 😭💗 like honestly nveons your mcs are like the cutest ever 🫶🏽🫶🏽

Kind of late but

Lennox : they would absolutely be friends with kojo, Lennox goal to gather as many friends as he can get and that include both kojo and yu-ming. Especially yu-ming, Lennox adores and dotes on sweet people, he would probably hang out with her more, repaying her sweetness with even more sweetness.

Lennox when it comes to kojo, he would be friends but not that close but step 2, he would be kind of creepy, not like in a bad way but more of like observing with a silent smile like Lennox knows something that kojo doesn't, especially with teasing him since Lennox likes to get reactions.

Oh ho this is gonna be a long one, I have a lot of Ideas for these 😼 get ready for a long, and i mean LONGG yap sesh (ALSO SORRY IF I MISCHARACTERIZE THEM 😞🙏)

Hiro with Kojo: (I feel like they met in step 2 first) At first, Hiro and Kojo dont really talk. Like, at all. Hiro keeps to himself, not bc hes shy, just tired. Hes been burned too many times to let people in easily. Kojo, on the other hand, is this weird mix of blunt, tired, and secretly kind, with a sprinkle of 'dont mess with me.' so yeah, they notice each other, but they dont click right away. Kojo probably thinks Hiros a bit of a ghost at first. Quiet, distant, unreadable behind the mask. But then he sees how Hiro pays attention, the way he watches, listens, notices small things other people dont. And Hiro, despite being all guarded, sees through Kojos whole 'I-dont-care-abt-anyone' act pretty quickly. Like, bro, youre yelling at people for looking at your friends weird, youre not fooling anyone. They dont become close with a big moment. Its slow. Casual. A "Yo, you good?" after class. sharing music. sitting next to each other without needing to talk. Kojo starts talking abt psychology or some song hes writtin, and Hiro just listens. And Kojo realizes he likes that kind of quiet. Not awkward silence. Comfy silence. Hiro doesnt flinch at Kojos sharpness. He actually kinda likes it, its honest. And Kojo weirdly enough, respects Hiros silence. He doesnt try to drag out words out of him. Just, lets him be. Eventually Hiro starts responding a bit more. Little things. Eye contact, a nod, the occasional dry one-liner that absolutely kills. Kojo live for those. By the time they really become friends, its like, yeah, they still look like opposites. Hiros quiet, soft-spoken, always looks a bit worn down. Kojos cold, tired, kinda mean on the outside. But they get each other. Like, really get each other. Hiro doesnt have to explain why he wears a mask all the time. Kojo doesnt have to explain why he snaps sometimes. They just know. Kojo would fight for Hiro without question. Hiro would stay up all night sitting next to Kojo during a breakdown and not say a word, just be there. Its that kind of friendship. Messy, quiet, but solid as hell. Theyre not loud abt it. No dramatic declarations. Just 2 people whos been through a lot, found each other, and decided, "yeah, im not goin anywhere"

Hiro with Yu-Ming: (step 2 again) Yu-Ming is probably the kind of person who walked right up to Hiro one say and sais something like, "Hi! You look sad. Want a cookie?" And Hiro, unsure whether to be surprised or moved, just stared at her for a second before awkwardly taking it and giving her the tiniest nod. Thats prob how it starts. Yu-Ming doesnt treat Hiro like hes broken or scary or some mystery to solve, she treats him like a person. A quiet person, sure, but one she gen wants to know. And that makes all thr difference to him. She talks to him like its normal to be quiet. Normal to hide his face behind a mask. She prob compliments it once like, "thats a cool mask. Kinda makes you look like a ninja" and Hiro has to look away bc for once, someone made a comment that didnt make him feel weird in a bad way. Yu-Ming doesnt push him to open up, but shes always there. Like. The kind of friend wholl sit next to you on the ground and just be there while youre going through it. Shell do all the talking if he needs space to process. Or shell be silent if thats what feels better. Shes tuned in, yknow? She reads Hiro in a way that some ppl dont even try to. She would be one of the few ppl who he takes the mask off around with no hesitation. Not bc she asks him to, she never does, but bc being around her feels like stepping sunlight. Safe. Warm. Still. Hes not afraid of being seen by her, not really. Yu-Ming doesnt baby him. She doesnt treat him like hes fragile. But shes gentle witb him like, "Ik youve beeb through some stuff, but im not scared of it. ill still be here" and that means more to Hiro than shell prob ever know. Its a quiet kind of love, even if its platonic. One that says; "you dont have to change for me, just let me stay"

Sylvan with Kojo: Kojo and Sylvan are.. Kinda a mess together. But like, the good kind. You wouldnt think they click at first since theyre pretty much opposite. Hes cold, blunt, and keeps most ppl at arms length. And Sylvan? Shes a walking rag of chaotic sunshine who talks with her hands and wears clothes louder than mosy ppls personalities. But somehow, it works. at first, Kojos prob not sure what to make of her. Shes loud. Shes everywhere. She once called his poetry 'funky beautiful' and offered him a scrunchie in the same sentence. He stared at her like she had 2 heads. But Sylvan didnt take it personally. She just laughed and kept popping up, throwing bits of sunshine at his cloudy exterior until smth cracked. And it probably did, bc Sylvan? Shes persistent in the most unintimidating way possible. She would make him try on clothes shes sewn, even if he grumbles the entire time. "Youd look so good in this, trust me. Fashion is about vibes, and you have 'cool but emotionally unavailable antihero' written all over you." Kojo would probably roll his eyes. but he wears the jacket anyway. He doesnt say thank you, but he doesnt take it off either. Sylvan doesnt fully get Kojo. Hes complex, guarded, and his sarcasm sometimes flies right over her stupid head. But she likes him anyway(platonically). She tells him, straight up, "Youre my friend, btw. Just so you know." and that? Thats what Kojo needed. Someone to say it out loud. No guessing, no weird games. Just; "Hey, I choose you". Once thats settled, he softens. Still blunt. Still occasionally says something that makes ppl do a double take. But Sylvans unbothered. She just laughs and says, "Rude, but fair," and keeps going. He lets his softer side shows sometimes. Like, when he plays violin and lets her sit on the floor next to him, sketching her designs away while he practices. When he shows her a poem and asks, "Is this too much?" and she replies with, "No, its you and thats never too much."

Sylvan with Yu-Ming: (Both are extremely extroverted so you already know theyre gonna be besties) Sylvan and Yu-Ming are like the sun in 2 different time zones. One rises loud and glittery withbedazzled boots, the other warms you quietly like morning light through tree branches. And together? Theyre unstoppable. They meet and Sylvans first thought was; "This girl is adorable! Im going to be her friend." And Yu-Mings first thought was; "She looks like a fancy butterfly! I want to be her friend." Easy, instant connection. No weird awkward phase. Yu-Ming brings calm. Sylvan brings energy. Its a good mix. The first time Yu-Ming shows Sylvan a cool bug she found in the woods, Sylvan SCREAMS. like, actual shriek, tosses her purse in the air, nearly falls over. Yu-Ming is just blinking like, "... Its just a beetle." And Sylvan, panting, goes, "IT HAS TOO MANY LEGS!" This moment pretty much defines them. Yu-Ming tries not to bring her any bugs around her after that, but sometimes she forgets, and Sylvan is oh so brave for not running away when Yu-Ming casually pulls out a praying mantis out of her pocket like its her emotional support pet. Sylvan will press herself against the farthest tree, hand over her heart, muttering, "Im fine, Im fine, totally not dying over here." while Yu-Ming gently puts the bug back on the grass like, "Sorry, Sylvans dramatic sometimes." Despite that.. Sylvan loves being around Yu-Ming. Yu-Mings the kind of person who listens, really listens, and remember little things. If Sylvans having a rough day, shell get a note that says "youre loved" and maybe a cookie thats shaped like a button. No spotlight, no noise, just quiet care. Sylvan, in turn, ADORES Yu-Ming. She designs bug-proof outfits for forest walks so they can hang out outdoors without Sylvan having a meltdown. Yu-Ming would prob try to get Sylvan over her fear, gently like, "What if you look at them from 10 feet away?" and Sylvans like "... Okay, for you" Sylvan doesnt always win, but she always tries. And that effort means a lot to Yu-Ming. (I accidentally made it way too bug themed but oh well 🥲)

Btw I have another MC, her name is Tanlin(also known as TanTan) but Im still developing her as a character so unfortunately I wont be able to write her dynamic with your MCs 😔
