Hey there, it's the same anon who previously asked your opinions on shipping. Based on your viewpoints on shipping, what are some ways in your opinion to write/depict a well-structured, developing romance between two characters. Also, what qualities and/or traits would you say make two characters more compatible as a pair as opposed to more unsuitable matches?
I’d pick characters that have shown affection towards each other, for starters. No matter how incompatible or unexciting the pairing is in reality, it’s your task to make them work. It’s a satisfying challenge. Then again, one-way streets are more interesting to write for, as they come with a natural conflict that already established romances don’t have. Though, I wouldn’t push it if the chased character shows pure hatred for their pursuer, or when they have a love interest of their own. It takes effort to turn that kind of relationship into a believable romance, but it’s not impossible. Of course artists may think out of the ironically-less-popular-box and present a couple not supported by the series, but I find that not to work most of the time. Just like in my first example; the characters picked usually have a crush on someone else, are downright enemies, or have hardly interacted with each other. Knowing their canon relationship, it looks off to then see them romantically involved. So unless they’re both undeveloped background characters, and practically blank slates, I’d stay away from bullshipping. Still, it proves worth it when you want acknowledgement as an artist inside a fandom, as most fans love bullship and will look for it online. But for those who want to stay true to the show, it’ll just leave a bad aftertaste.The most important thing is that you yourself fully support what you’re doing. Regret is a destructive emotion and the comments on your work can be quick to steer you to that feeling. Try putting yourself in the shoes of the critics that might come across your ideas one day. Guessing people’s reaction will help you decide if this is really something you want to spend time on, because the reality is that we all care about what strangers think. Canon artwork isn’t safe, either. The internet is cruel.Make sure you avoid endorsing stereotypes. We don’t always need a soft female-like character and a tough male-like character in our love stories. When you think you do, you’ll just pair up the wrong people or wreck an existing character’s personality. Don’t flip someone’s personality just to make a pairing work. You can evolve these Pokémon, and they will change into something better or worse, but Jigglypuff cannot become Charizard.Also don’t insert overused formulas into your writing, unless you present enough clever dialogue to distract the reader from it. But I really think the world is hungry for original concepts by now, so my advice is that when you have an idea, spend at least a day browsing the internet to make sure there’s no similar fan content out there.It may appear impossible when a fandom is large and active, but when something has been overused, you’re quick to spot it.I think the best trait two characters can have is a similar sense of humor, even if they’re completely different people in all other departments. I love couples that act like they’re on an improvised comedy stage 24/7. Not saying I know fictional couples like that, but it’s the direction I like to take myself. Making each other laugh is the best kind of love there is, and lovers allowing themselves to be silly and completing each other’s comedy routine is a sign of a perfect unity, in my opinion. If your pairing can’t hold any conversations worth listening to, don’t ship them. If the only social activity you can come up with is sharing peaceful family moments and kissing, don’t ship them. The most boring, stale fanart out there is of couples cuddling or sleeping on the couch; this does not tell a story.As for the plot of your story, it always needs a conflict, but make it one that would be accepted in the world of the show you’re writing for. Helga from “Hey Arnold” cannot secretly be an adopted, murderous, alien yandere-demon who needs Arnold’s approval to stay calm and inside her given human disguise. But now that I think of it, that would be a pretty cool story, bro. I guess there’s no harm in inserting fantasy elements, but when you do, go all the way.Another tip is to not rush things. The sex scene is not the most important chapter of your story, the journey to it is. In fact, scrap the sex scene, make people learn to appreciate dialogue and emotion, not the description of how things are entering other things. It matters as much as describing how a character is using the toilet, and nobody does that. I assume.Start off portraying who the characters are and what their initial relationship is, then present a problem that demands both these people’s attention and allows for them to know each other in the way you want them to.

Hey Helga! Pokemon Journey: Day 2 & 3
Day 2
After spending most of yesterday answering questions about that chucklehead Lila, I finally got home and slept in until the next afternoon
When I woke up and got ready to leave I had to deal with my mom/Miriam babbling on about making sure I packed my poke gear and keeping my money for saving
I told her to cram it and left for the next town
Day 3
OK I probably should’ve took that map from that weird old guy that was trying to give me a tour 
But now I’m lost in the woods where all these noisy creatures looking at me I encountered and captured a brainy looking HootHoot I call Phoebe and a Spinarak name Velma
Phoebe Lv. 4
Velma Lv. 3

Hey Helga! Pokemon Journey - Day 7
A after defeating my first gym and receiving an egg from that nerd of a professor, I headed down route 32 to continue my journey there I met up some random cool Miracle Seed
Battle my way throughout the day, defeating both trainers and Pokémon until I finally saw in the distance a Pokémon center I can rest in for the night.
But before I can reach the Pokémon center some bozo was trying to con me out of $1 million for a slowpoke tail. After telling him to get out of my way before I introduce him to Ol' Betsy. Only a real Head-case would fall for such an idiotic scam.

Hey Helga! Pokemon Journey - Day 5
After entering Violet city I took my Pokémon to the Pokémon Center where I heard about Sprout Tower and decided to head straight for it 
While exploring the tower at the fee is several sages which must means I’m on my way to alignment felt pretty good about myself until once again I found myself friended with Lila 
Lila just drawl on about how strong he is and how weak everyone else is, then just so happens to run away before I could whip his behind in a poke-battle. I just took frustration out on the head sage before calling it a night and decided to take on the gym first thing in the morning

Hey Helga! Pokemon Journey: Day 6
Got up at the crack of dawn feeling pretty good after all those victories figure it was about time I earned my first badge. After reaching the gym I got a good laugh at the sign in the front
The battle leaving up to the gym leader who left me pretty bored after all the piggies I I defeat them on my way here taking out these started gym assistance was a breeze. The gym lead pose a bit of a challenge he managed to K.O two of my Pokémon but between Velma poisoning them and Chuckles putting them to sleep, Cherry had no problem cleaning them up
I received a phone call from Professor nerd saying his assistant was waiting for me at the Pokémon Center which works out because I need to heal up my team after a tough battle and once I got there I was shocked to receive back the egg I went through all the trouble of delivering to him something about needing a good trainer to bring out his potential sounds like a crock to me just more chores for me to do
