#And help Armando break away from his unhealthy relationships and bad influences and help him be bold

[supercool-here]

Ok my sins are keeping me up late at night so of course I'm going to post about ysblf. I am not a fic writer, actually I'm not a writer of any kind other than bad, but I really wish I could come up with a storyline in which Armando and Betty develop a somewhat healthy relationship, or at least one in which they get together without having gone through the ordeal of seducing/getting used. I will love reading your ideas, even fanfic recs if you know any. My own theory will be in the tags

#I THINK it could be possible for Betty and Armando to get together in a normal-ish way because #In the small period of time before Mario gets into Armando's head and convinces him he has to seduce Betty to keep the company safe #During that time Armando and Betty had something pretty sweet going on #Of course I think getting anywhere near romantic would've taken much longer than it does in the soap #But I think they could've eventually gotten there #BECAUSE Armando's and Betty's relationship was really nice #It was quite damped in inequalities tho #So I think in this alternative narrative the first step would be to get them to stand on the same grounds #Even the situation #So help Betty get more confidence and get the career she had always wanted #And help Armando break away from his unhealthy relationships and bad influences and help him be bold #Maybe then Armando starts to see Betty with longing eyes #And maybe Betty tries to go out with other people #To learn a lil about relationships and learn to stand up for herself MAYBE #And MAYBE then Armando realizes he feels jealous #Which he wouldn't want to admit not because Betty used to be an “uggo” but because he's always seen her as this sweet angel of a person #And MAYBE he goes on a personal quest to find himself because MAYBE he starts wondering wether he could ever be with someone like Betty #Could he ever be with someone so honest kind intelligent knowgeable innocent loyal yada yada basically so perfect when he is such a torment #That has been a cheater and what not #But then I need something to happen so he decides he wants to try to become the man Betty deserves #(which is what he does in the original story teehee) #And I don't know what that could be #But yeah I think so far we could get pretty cute scenes of them bonding #Armando being proud of Betty seeing her grow up and treat herself better #Scenes of Betty doing things she's scared of and then getting that reassurance knowing she's always been capable of those things #And our beloved scenes of tortured Armando #But then what is gonna push Armando to decide he wants to be good for Betty #I don't know if I want it to be jealousy #MAYBE it'll be some situation in which he realizes he has to fight for her or he'll loose her forever #Meanwhile for Betty
