Soren Flumen's Links
Soren acts annoyed with Rhaq'a a lot but it's mostly because he's OFFENDED to be one of the ONLY people Rhaq'a doesn't hit on. HE'S SO VAIN!!!! But he does figure there must be more to Rhaq'a than he advertises to others, because he's very familiar with the irreverent asshole act
Soren actually finds Ethel hilarious and supports her slacking off during meetings. If the meetings were important, they wouldn't be so boring! right? He doesn't even truly mind the teasing he gets about his ex, he just supports that little gremlin so much. FIGHT THE POWER
One day Soren will trap Shouhei and listen to all the smart things they have to say. He genuinely finds the light research interesting. He is currently planning a box trap utilizing eggs to make this conversation happen.
If Shouhei saw Soren on the street, they would cross to the other side and avoid eye contact solely out of fear of being a complete loser.
Ok. So. The reason Soren sends the kids into Subzero by themselves is because he physically cannot risk running into Samael. They are simply too cool. Too hot. Wizapp is fine for interaction but he is too embarrassed to interact with such a hottie. The irreverence. The boots. The hair. These are all the beats Soren wished he hit more effectively. He made an alt instagrimoire because he was too embarrassed to like Sem's selfies on his main. NO ONE CAN EVER KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH NO HE ACCIDENTALLY WAS LOGGED INTO THE WRONG INSTA ONE TIME BUT HE FEELS DISHONEST UNLIKING IT BECAUSE HE ALREADY SAW MAYBE HE DIDNT NOTICE
Samael often sees Soren liking their posts on social media. Having a repeat fan gives them a small confidence boost every now and again.
All yolks aside, Pheo is the sort of friend Soren really needed right now. She's loud and irreverent, which Soren always appreciates. She is so unapologetically herself and it makes Soren adore her. She bullies overly serious and mean people, she's kind to his children- Soren is naturally an affectionate person, but Pheo is the only one he doesn't feel scared to lay it on thick, with. It helps that it's all jokey, but then they can share box wine or look at frogs with his kids.
If there is anything Pheo loves it's people who can take a joke and dish a joke. The moment Soren played along with the whole 'in love' joke she knew she found a great friend. He's the type of person where the two of them can pour some wine and sit around for hours talking about everything and nothing, and what else would you want from life? Besides, y'know, beautiful little brats that she adores more than life itself.
Soren thinks Sage is fascinating! A very fun conversation partner with a lovely laugh. He wants more chances to ask Sage about all the things he saw before he was tethered with a human form.
It was a lot of fun talking with Soren. Sage is genuinely curious about him and must absolutely watch his performance one day. They would like to maybe even befriend Soren some day!
Tsubasa is legit Soren's bestie in Walpurgis. What started as gratitude for helping his daughter through therapy, turned into one of the only fully trusting friendships Soren has created in a long time. He admires Tsubasa's sincerity and compassion, which to Soren is the bravest thing anyone could hope to achieve.
There's a lot Tsubasa could say about Soren but the thing that probably says it all is that Tsubasa trusts Soren with Ruriko's safety when he needs to go out for something. He cares a lot about Soren and his daughters and has formed a genuine friendship that he is very grateful for.
Slowly he's seen Soren open up to him and he has done the same in return. A true friendship.
Soren ribs Isaac here and there, but he's truly empathetic to his situation. He understands how talking things through can be exhausting and unproductive, so he tries to show Isaac support in more subtle ways. Bailey hand-me-downs and little pieces of advice here and there on how to handle toddlers. How do show sheriff support ????
Mei's other boyfriend, annoying... but not too bad. He is willing to admit faults in others and even offered to tell Mei to back off which is nice. Alfie could use more company that isn't so overbearing...
Once a savior, then a lover, than a traitor, Soren had been a sore spot for Mei for several decades. However, after coming to town and rekindling a friendship, the two of them spoke about their past trauma and overcame it. Since then, Mei's love for Soren returned tenfold. He's currently dating him alongside Tsubasa. Once his loyalty is earned, it's nearly unshakeable.
