One of my favorite Gaftikar subplots is A’den deciding that he and Atin are going to be best friends. Atin’s permission not required.

It’s like watching A’den try his damnedest to make friends with the world’s meanest cat.

I collected the whole thing.

The meet-cute, where Atin doesn’t even say hello before jumping straight into his favorite hobby of being deeply skeptical of a Null’s ability to do their own damn job straight to their face:

It doesn’t look like it, but A’den’s been 1HKO’d here. His pants have been charmed.

We know this because here’s A’den two seconds later, trying to save Atin from himself (Niner: good kriffing luck, buddy):

And this, from when Atin comes back from puking his guts out:

“all concern”

Atin gets mad at A’den and they’re back to staring at each other (it's a thing):

A’den: :|

Atin: :|

A’den: :)

Atin: >:|

A'den: Guys, I think he's warming up to me.

Atin: *unholy warbling snarls sound from under the couch*

A'den: *coos*

A’den, on space-tiktok: So my plan is just to keep feeding him until he loves me. I think it's working.

Atin: *low-grade growling as he aggressively mashes his food into bits, staring at a’den with murder eyes.*

A’den: 💞💖✨😊

A’den likes Atin so much and literally the only thing Atin has done is drag his ass through the mud. This is hilarious.
