Hugs?

the Relationship Ambiguity Zone™️ is a beautiful place to be. safe place to put your characters. put all characters into Relationship Ambiguity Zone. is that guy your mentor or your dad? Ambiguous!!! are you friends or enemies? Ambiguous!!! is it romantic? is it platonic? is it sexual? Ambiguous!!!!!!! never categorize anything ever in the Relationship Ambiguity Zone. just make them fucking weird about each other.

puppy crushes are such an underrated relationship dynamic. I love a character that's admires another character so much they can't help but have a little crush about it, and the other character has no obligation to return the sentiment. I love when romantic tension/ yearning is resolved by evolution of character rather than obligatory fulfillment of the desire. I love romantic feelings that have to be grown out of for a character to mature.

it's good enrichment for The Character(s) when one of their friends gets possessed and they have to find some way to bring them back. great friendgroup bonding activity. especially if they have to do some exorcism bullshit and it's traumatizing for everyone involved and there's collapsing and sobbing afterward. great thing for The Character(s) to do. highly recommend.

Wanderer is on the aromantic spectrum to me but I don’t think he cares enough or is the kind of person to consider using that labeling if he had access to it whatsoever. You feel me

Getting fixated in a piece of media will make you very curious about things you have never once in your life cared about beforehand just bc it's relevant to said media

another good character trope is someone whos like passively suicidal and has little respect for their own health but is also both super competent and adaptable, and also super motivated by an internal sense of duty. so she keeps getting into near death situations for other people and then getting Out of them because she can't like. Die. because someone is counting on her. and well .ok thats just hornet silksong. thats Just hornet silksong.

i think people really under sell the physical side effects of mental health disorders sometimes. like sure the depression and anxiety may be 'just in your head' but when what's in your head happens to disrupts your sleep schedule and prevent you from going outside regularly and eating consistent meals and exercising and generally taking care of your body. well it sure takes its toll huh.
