since you were just posting about them, KittyLili and/or RazBobby for the ship bingo!

KITTYLILIIIIIII!!!!

ohh. man, it's all about the subtext!!! the striking lore that is totally there, i swear! it's the way lili hid in the shadows, watching franke and kitty making their friendship bracelets. the way lili trails off when she has to make a comment on kitty's campster. the way kitty doesn't acknowledge her in the slightest, but definitely knows she's there in aforementioned shadows. they have history!! and it has something to do with feeling slighted, feeling ignored, feeling like there is an imbalance there when i think they used to be actual friends! (realizing it now that they even have parallels with strained relationships with their dads, tho while lili is about to reconcile with truman, there's distance between kitty and her dad, who plies her with money and clothes and seems to adhere to whatever kitty wants without giving her any actual affection hmmmm)

kitty does want to wrap people around her finger. she's learned it from her the best (her dad). she hasn't stayed in one place for too long, so all of her friendships are fleeting, and she knows it. she has to be top dog, and she throws her wealth around because it's not like she'll ever see these kids for years to come. lili, being the daughter of the grand head, would make for an excellent "friend," but the catch is that lili is headstrong! she's not compliant like franke. she says what's on her mind! but the thing is they're both kind of lonely - kitty doesn't have many *strong* connections in a way that feels genuine while lili's status as the grand head's daughter and and gradual disillusionment with the system impacts her (along with her own lack of friends), but i think they actually had a solid basis when they were friends. kitty hadn't met anyone quite like lili. i like to think they did each other's make up, their hair, but kitty wasn't interested in comics or what lili wanted. it had to be on kitty's terms, and it was fine for a bit because kitty was at least nice to lili, but lili isn't one to take being mistreated sitting down (and when she feels the pull of confusion, realizing she might have been under kitty's influence after some time, she's had it). things don't work out. kitty moves on. lili is left in the dust (again), but later makes new friends over the years (quentin, chops, dogen, chloe, crystal, etc) while kitty's connection is really only franke in a sense that feels genuine, but there is still that need to be superior over the other, especially for kitty, while lili grumbles at a scene that used to belong to her and kitty and one she can scoff at, possibly thinking it'll soon be franke's turn to be shunned by kitty.

BUT! i think kitty does want to be liked! i think when she finally settles somewhere, and maybe deals with her dad stuff, or even gets away from him to start on her own, she...wants new connections, but doesn't know how to make them without being disingenuous. it's a real "i told you so" situation where lili has close friends and associates while kitty is on the sidelines looking at her. i can go in to the nitty gritty, but i do like thinking they reconnect as a good coworkers, office gossips, and maybe even pseudo-friends (who sometimes nestle closer than expected, but they like physical contact, so who would complain?) kitty tends to lay it on thick, tho, she's drawling, "liliiiiiii, babyyy, come take time off work with me. there's a new store over on fourth and station, and i wanna buy half the stock. for funsies. and to skip work. because what the fuck do i even do here lol." and carts lili off after a bit of protesting from lili (and sometimes no protesting at all! yay for skipping work and being gal pals who sometimes kiss behind the jet) (kitty has to kiss lili behind the jet to make up for the *dastardly* sight of seeing bobby and raz kissing there and needs it scrubbed with a beautiful dash of yuri) (kitty is a yuri warrior through and through).
