When I’m an adult I want to write a book series and make a ship- like make two rival characters and give them a past, and so much tension; basically just make the ideal ship that most of the fandom will ship. I’ll make it go on for at least 3 years (I’ll also introduce other characters that people will probably ship these characters with.) and then eventually I’ll make the reveal that these two ‘rivals’ are actually also lovers and have probably been together the whole time. And the only reason I want to do this is to see the fandom break down into shambles over this.

Touched starved & Scared of being touched is a perfectly tragic dynamic 🤍

if ur ever stuck with trying to encapsulate a messy dynamic (specifically family), literally just use an Arrested Development meme. i promise u’ll find one that’s like “yes, this is them”

Girl who doesn’t think a jock is cool and ends up with him is OUT. Lesbian who knocks a jock down a few pegs is IN.
(bonus if everyone ships them but they’re just solidarity)
(extra bonus if she’s a bigger jock than he is)

I'm tired of those "And the love of her life was her best friend all along" tropes!
Someone should write a teen romance book about how the best friend is ACTUALLY a terrible partner — who is possessive and toxic — and how the girl gets with the Popular Hot Dude™ who is a trillion times a better partner. And there would be the theme "But I tought since he was my best friend and knew me well he'd be a wonderful partner, but no, he only kept with unrealistic expectations and only wanted a romantic relationship to feel good about himself, and not me." + If the Popular Hot Dude™ doesn't know anything about her interests and he learns with her about this "crazy new world" (whatever that would be)
Like, really, this psychological thing would be so much better than "Oh may gooosh mah bestie is the ONEEEEEE"

I love the "came back wrong" trope but from the opposite side.
Imagine you are dead. And then you are RIPPED from the embrace of decay into the world of the living again. Your memories are hazy and you don't recognize any of these people, but they act like they're close to you? Like they love you? So you try to get your memories back, to act like you belong here, but everybody tries to forget you died. And you can't. It is omnipresent. And just trying to grapple with that fact pushes the people who "love" you away, and they're incapable of understanding, and they're so confused, what's wrong N̶̄̀O̶͛͗T̷̉́ ̷͋͝Y̴̎̌Ȍ̴̈U̸̓R NÄM̴̃͑E̵̾̇? And you just need them to understand, you aren't that person! You aren't! You don't know who that person is! You don't know why any of this is happening, but they're unwilling to bend, they keep insisting you are that person, your memories will come back, everything will be normal again, and you want to scream and cry and claw yourself open to show them you're different. Your existence as a being wholly separate from whoever you "used to be" is a sin unto itself. All you can do is scrabble for life and to them, you're killing whoever they loved to do it.
just. lots of fun in that concept, you know?

I understand the "I will die for you" ship dynamic, but what about the "I will not let you die, I will not let myself die- we will, at any cost, survive" kind of couple?

I need a love story where it’s two characters in a romantic relationship that fall into platonic love for each other. Tired of this idea that romance is the “next level” from platonic love. How about we spin it the other way around? Two characters put on a blind date or something similar that makes each other view each other romantically at first glance, & they get along romantically, but they start to realize they actually REALLY work well in a platonic dynamic and are more fulfilled by each other in that way and it’s a happily ever after that way.
Lovers to friends, need more of it 😌

Dynamic Prompt 2#!
We’re all familiar with the Grumpy Dad x Sunshine Daughter, right?
But what about ‘concerning Mother-Son bonding’?
Like, a slightly cynical woman who was given a child and has no clue how to raise them. So, as they get older, instead of teaching them things like ABC’s and colors and manners, she’s teaching him how to survive in a horror movie and how to get away with murder at age 5.
This kid then goes to school for the first time and his teachers are baffled at the fact he doesn’t know basic kindergarten stuff.
Son: “No, I do not know how to count to 10, but I know many different ways to kill someone with a popsicle stick!”

Want quick tips to add instant chemistry to the relationships of your characters??
(🥳With examples🥳)
First of all, I want to say that you can also use most of them for platonic/ non-romantic relationships, so feel free to use this tips however you think they might work better in your story. So, without further adue, let's get to the tips!!!
Make your characters LISTEN to each other. Like, if A tells B they're not a morning person, B could make some coffee for A or lower the volume of their alarm.
This might sound quite obvious, but show that you characters care for each other. It might be as simple as one of them giving the other a glass of water when they feel a little dizzy, but it works wonders!
Make your characters physically close. When you are emotionally close to someone, you tend to be physically close too. But here is the thing. Make your characters react like it's second nature: "how would I not hug B when I haven't seen them in days?" or "Of course I'm gonna take A's hand when I feel afraid".
They don't have to be constantly thinking about each other, but when they do, MAKE IT MATTER!! For example, character A is out shopping, and they see B's favorite cookies. B didn't have a good day, and A knows that. But A also knows B is gonna fucking love the cookies, so they buy some.
Let them believe and trust each other. Also applies if one of them is a little distrustful: let your characters rely on one another, even if at the start they aren't as comfortable doing it. For a distrustful character, letting the other one help with chores might be a HUGE thing.

Come watch dungeon meshi we have a (seemingly) typical white autistic man who doesn't understand social norms, an autistic man of colour who overcompensates for social deficits by being too good at social norms (while still struggling socially), and we even have the "grew up autistic but also Asian so I have a very good understanding of cultural and social norms but I still struggle socially" variety of autistic man.
