TW: Emotional Manipulation, Toxic Mindsets.
A.N. - Not the most aggressive of the Looney Tunes cast, but he is one of the smoother.
Platonic:
Unlike many other Tunes, Bugs does not feel threatened by the idea of his friend enjoying the company of someone besides himself. He is confident in his standing as the most impressive person in their life, although this claim is tacit and limited to the expectation that they will sacrifice others for the sake of gratifying his whims. Bugs lacks the need to control most aspects of their schedule, but he insists that they cater to his wants as opposed to their own.
A lifetime of stardom and triumph over those who challenge his prominence in the entertainment industry, such as Daffy and Elmer, has given him a swollen ego. This confidence allows him to ascertain the vulnerabilities and flaws of those around him, be they friend or foe, and exploit them for personal gain. Bugs's ability to do this, alongside his unparalleled speed, instills in him the belief that his actions are above consequence.
Romantic:
Bugs likes to convey the illusion of freedom, but his behaviour has a string of premeditated goals that steer his partner into a specific thought process or course of action. Whether it sews distrust among their companions or distorts their perception of their ability to function independently of him, every move in the courtship is self-serving. He leaves the exact nature of the relationship ambiguous to keep a degree of superiority over his partner, alternating between moments of affection and distance.
The damage resistance inherent to all Tunes contributes to his perversion of morality, and his fluency in social affairs enables him to play with the emotions of his partner. Bugs promises his loyalty while maintaining a healthy awareness of his desires and preferences, never consciously acting in a way that might undermine his interests. He projects a falsely perfect image of himself that, in addition to highlighting his lack of baggage, guarantees comfort and minimal drama.
