scripting tips for romance!
i see a lot of people shifting for their comfort character, or to romance someone in their desired reality. even if you’re not, that’s okay! these tips can work platonically, too, just skip over the parts that don’t apply to you.
I think it’s important that when you script for romance/relationships, you go into detail into why it’s special to you, and how it comes about. If you want to see how things unfold, then it would be good to set up a foundation for it flourish so it feels organic and genuine, you know?
anyway, that’s all from me! if you have any questions or anything to say, please message me. and hate isn’t tolerated on my page, i just thought you’d like to know-- like, it’s really sad that haters have all this time to get a life but they spend it on being jealous and pitiful, bullying people who do have one. us shifters don’t have time for people like them, so if that’s what you intend to do, scoot your boot honey because your stupidity is showing-

instead of scripting: (name) loves me, say why. what makes you loveable? what are you insecure about that they absolutely adore? do they pick up on little habits that you don’t even realise you have? what qualities do you have that they will rave about to their friends?
- they respect it when you need your space
- they take care of you (if you haven’t scripted out mental illness, periods or sickness, this is a really cute one)
- they like (something you like)
- they ask you on dates you will enjoy
- they are creative in their gifts
- you are creative in your gifts
- they reciprocate your energy
- you’re always cold/warm (for cuddles)
- you’re/they’re immune to bad breath
- arguments are logically discussed in level voices
- they are immune to cheating on you
- your relationship will always make you feel safe
- you’re immune to toxicity
- they brag about you to their friends
- your/their lips are immune to being chapped
- you’re immune to forgetting birthdays
- they’re immune to forgetting your birthday
- every date, planned or not, always ends up fun and memorable
- you give the best compliments
- they understand you without speaking (you know that weird telepathy you have with your friend when you don’t wanna speak or can’t? yes, that.)
- you/they understand social/romantic cues (asking for a kiss/hug without speaking, that kind of thing, kind of connects to the one above.)
- they are patient with you
- they respect the differences in your love languages
- your friends support you
- they know your favourite snacks
- they respect your decisions
- they respect your goals
- did your friends ship you from the beginning?
- how did you confess? (if you want to let that unfold, try: when did we confess/what made your feelings uncontainable?)
- when did you realise you liked them? did someone else have to tell you for you to realise, did you see them with someone else and get confused by your jealous, etc.
- you have a shared playlist
- you have a movie marathon of both your favourite movies
- they know gentleman moral code (opening the doors for you, giving you their jacket)
- it’s not always about you (i get really sick of people who are willing to drop everything for me. i found it also unrealistic. if you’re the same and like people with their own goals, then this is a good one because it means your relationship is more organic, and you’ll have more to think about during your shifting experience instead of all the fluff. but if that’s what you want, then go for it! it’s all about livening up your experience.)
- they know the lyrics to your favourite songs
- how did people find out about your relationship?
- did people see your relationship coming?
- are you guys more of a dynamic duo or partners in crime? (works for poly too)
- what’s your romance dynamic? (nerdy x goofy, good x bad, gentle giant x smol demon, etc.)
- do you guys have your own, secret special meeting spot?
- what is your combined aesthetic?
- how do they say ‘i love you’ without saying the exact words?

a few scripting exercises to get you in that mindset:
- what is one memory you have with them that makes you smile just thinking about it?
- write a love letter/letter of appreciation to them. (if you want to go the extra mile, sleep with it under your pillow!)
- make a playlist that reminds you of them.
