So far every largely endowed female they've come across has cut in on Pickle's time with Timothy. And now Scarlet's doing it best of all. She's figured out you don't get cats with affection; rather, you offer them food...

Is there a canonical list of ways in which a tsundere teen can be expected to react, when s/he paints himself/herself into a corner like this?

Well, Asuka Langley Soryu, Princess of tsundere, would call Shinji a baka and either storm off or insist it doesn't matter to her in the slightest. I'm not sure either tactic would work in this case.

(Imagines Evangelion with the WS crew. Decides the Angels don't know how good they had it.)

I saw that......

More the point, anthromorphism of weapons is as old as Man itself. Not seeing the battleships thing personally (though gotta say I consider much anime a bit creepy) but it's entirely understandable.

I call it Vera.

And if she does learn a lesson from this, will it be one of the right lessons to learn?

I wouldn't call how she's been acting "affection". In the really real world someone trying to pull a Tsundere gets ditched, not fawned upon.

Or get off your ass and start talking more plainly about your feelings.

I was referring to her previous behavior. She's tried being a pal and a half to him since they first met, and more recently vamping him with her newly acquired protuberances, and even picking him up and trying to carry him away from Castela. Now she's feeding him.

He's following her, you'll notice.

Flowers and trees were common subjects for this sort of treatment; leaves whispered, trees wept... that sort of thing.

And, in the modern era, there's the tendency of some women to personify their sex toys.

I believe they are usually named B.O.B.

I fail to see how a bicycle cargo trailer would qualify as a sex toy of any kind...
