1st or 2nd person perspective

RWBY

Blake/Sun, Ren/Nora, and Jaune/Pyrrha

An exploration of how they feel after the fall of Beacon would be interesting. Particularly Jaune grieving Pyrrha and using his emotions to drive him to be a better huntsman.

Ren and Nora looking back on their childhood together in a childhood friends to lovers situation is adorable.

Blake trying to cope with everything while at home on Menagerie while Sun is busy being Sun in her vicinity.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Dimitri/Felix

Mentions of Rhea and Catherine in passing are fine, but please don’t have them as major characters. Please stick to Three Houses canon, I haven’t played Three Hopes yet but would like to when I get the time.

Seeing their first meeting once everyone gets back to the monastery is always cool. 

Glimpses of clarity from Feral Dimitri where Felix can see that his old friend is still there.

Dimension 20

ACOC:

Saccharina & Ruby, Liam & Ruby, and Liam & Jet & Ruby

Any exploration into the feelings of grief after Lapin, Preston, or Jet’s deaths are super welcome. 

Ruby and Saccharina trying to build a bond as Saccharina gets a crash course in how to run Castle Candy.

Coffin Run:

Drago/Wetzel

What the hell happens during the long walk from Transylvania to Cairo?

Fantasy High:

Gilear & the Bad Kids and Ragh & the Bad Kids

Gilear putting up with any and all Bad Kids shenanigans and/or Ragh also partaking in said shenanigans is god tier content.

X-Men Evolution

Kitty/Kurt

Kurt is one of my all time favorite characters in anything ever. You can give them the sweetest fluff or break them and rebuild them. As long as there's a happy ending for my boy and his girl.

Belladonna

Signa/Death and Blythe/Fate

This truly is the ultimate fandom for angst with a happy ending.

What would've happened if Blythe hadn't spilled her blood on the tapestry and Signa had to marry Aris?

How would Aris have coped if he hadn't taken Blythe's place at the end of Wisteria? He waited for centuries once before, but could he do it again?

imo the best way to interpret those “real people don’t do x” writing advice posts is “most people don’t do x, so if a character does x, it should be a distinguishing trait.” human behavior is infinitely varied; for any x, there are real people who do x. we can’t make absolute statements. we can, however, make probabilistic ones.

for example, most people don’t address each other by name in the middle of a casual conversation. if all your characters do that, your dialogue will sound stilted and unnatural. but if just one character does that, then it tells us something about that character.

Please stick to Three Houses canon, I haven’t played Three Hopes yet but would like to when I get the time.

Pokemon Sword/Shield Video Games

Raihan/Piers and Leon/Sonia

I haven’t watched the anime since gen 1 and don’t intend to start any time soon. References/spoilers for the anime are fine, but I won’t understand specific references unless they’re from the games.

I LOVE the idea of looking back on either pair when they were Hop and Gloria/Victor’s age challenging the gyms themselves. Or either pair navigating both a new relationship while also going through the major changes they see at the end of the game (Piers leaving the gym to Marnie to focus on his music, Sonia becoming the professor, etc.).

Neurotypical writers giving advice: Be realistic with your goals. Try to outline or write a little every day. Refill the well. Get yourself a cup of tea and write for 30 minutes until the tea is empty. Check in daily with your accountability buddies for the next three to six months.

ADHD writers giving advice: Put on a movie that matches the tone of your novel to kickstart your dopamine and get into hyperfocus, then put a song on loop on noise-cancelling headphones, livestream your writing session so you feel watched and owe someone accountability, and write as much as you can for as long as you can. Don't forget to eat, sleep or drink. Now go write that novel in 5 days.

New writing rule: Checkov’s friend

If you introduce a named character with a relationship to a protagonist, their character arc must be resolved in a way that feels reasonable and satisfying

Which is to say: they can’t just dissappear when they’re no longer a convenient plot device

[for-yourdisaster]

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

thinking again about TvTropes and how it’s genuinely such an amazing resource for learning the mechanics of storytelling, honestly more so than a lot of formally taught literature classes

reasons for this:

basically TvTropes breaks down stories mechanically, using a perspective that’s not…ABOUT mechanics. Another way I like to put it, is that it’s an inductive, instead of deductive, approach to analyzing storytelling.

like in a literature or writing class you’re learning the elements that are part of the basic functioning of a story, so, character, plot, setting, et cetera. You’re learning the things that make a story a story, and why. Like, you learn what setting is, what defines it, and work from there to what makes it effective, and the range of ways it can be effective.

here’s the thing, though: everyone has some intuitive understanding of how stories work. if we didn’t, we couldn’t…understand stories.

TvTropes’s approach is bottom-up instead of top-down: instead of trying to exhaustively explore the broad, general elements of story, it identifies very small, specific elements, and explores the absolute shit out of how they fit, what they do, where they go, how they work.

Every TvTropes article is basically, “Here is a piece of a story that is part of many different stories. You have probably seen it before, but if not, here is a list of stories that use it, where it is, and what it’s doing in those stories. Here are some things it does. Here is why it is functionally different than other, similar story pieces. Here is some background on its origins and how audiences respond to it.”

all of this is BRILLIANT for a lot of reasons. one of the major ones is that the site has long lists of media that utilizes any given trope, ranging from classic literature to cartoons to video games to advertisements. the Iliad and Adventure Time ARE different things, but they are MADE OF the same stuff. And being able to study dozens of examples of a trope in action teaches you to see the common thread in what the trope does and why its specific characteristics let it do that

I love TvTropes because a great, renowned work of literature and a shitty, derivative YA novel will appear on the same list, because they’re Made Of The Same Stuff. And breaking down that mental barrier between them is good on its own for developing a mechanical understanding of storytelling.

But also? I think one of the biggest blessings of TvTropes’s commitment to cataloguing examples of tropes regardless of their “merit” or literary value or whatever…is that we get to see the full range of effectiveness or ineffectiveness of storytelling tools. Like, this is how you see what makes one book good and another book crappy. Tropes are Tools, and when you observe how a master craftsman uses a tool vs. a novice, you can break down not only what the tool is most effective for but how it is best used.

In fact? There are trope pages devoted to what happens when storytelling tools just unilaterally fail. e.g. Narm is when creators intend something to be frightening, but audiences find it hilarious instead.

On that note, TvTropes is also great in that its analysis of stories is very grounded in authors, audiences, and culture; it’s not solely focused on in-story elements. A lot of the trope pages are categories for audience responses to tropes, or for real-world occurrences that affected the storytelling, or just the human failings that creep into storytelling and affect it, like Early Installment Weirdness. There are categories for censorship-driven storytelling decisions. There are “lineages” of tropes that show how storytelling has changed over time, and how audience responses change as culture changes. Tropes like Draco in Leather Pants or Narm are catalogued because the audience reaction to a story is as much a part of that story—the story of that story?—as the “canon.”

like, storytelling is inextricable from context. it’s inextricable from how big the writers’ budget was, and how accepting of homophobia the audience was, and what was acceptable to be shown on film at the time. Tropes beget other tropes, one trope is exchanged for another, they are all linked. A Dead Horse Trope becomes an Undead Horse Trope, and sometimes it was a Dead Unicorn Trope all along. What was this work responding to? And all works are responding to something, whether they know it or not

Arranged marriage AU starter sentences

“So you’re my future bride/groom? You’re not what I expected at all.”

“I know it doesn’t seem so, but I will take care of you.”

“Let’s get this straight, I’m only agreeing with this arrangement so my parents would shut up.”

“I…think I’m in love?”

“You don’t have to worry, I’m never going to touch you.”

“I look forward to getting to know you better.”

“Are you scared? Don’t be. ‘ll protect you from today onwards.”

“You are the reason why I can’t be happy.”

“I don’t want to marry you at all, the person I love is someone else.”

“We’ll make this work out.”

“Don’t run away from this, from me!”

“I can’t believe they’re making us get together.”

“It’s crazy, isn’t it? Two complete strangers who know nothing about each other being brought together like this.”

“The moment I saw you, I knew we were meant to be.”

“I know it’s already been arranged, but let me do this properly…Will you marry me?”

“All right, all right! If you’re so against it, then we can work together to sabotage our own wedding!”

“If I don’t win your heart in a month we can call off the wedding.”

“You are mine now. Don’t look at anyone else.”

“Don’t cry. I promise I will love you and protect you to the best of my ability, til death do we part.”

“I have loved the idea of you since before you were even born.”

“ have been eagerly awaiting the day I could finally meet you…and I am not disappointed. You are beautiful.”

“I don’t think this is going to work out. It’s a mistake to go through with this.”

I’m a superhero and you want to be like me but in doing so become a supervillain, what do you mean you don’t understand why I’m punching you?

I’m a superhero, you’re a supervillain, but we don’t know each other’s identities and we are actually best friends

I’m runaway royalty and you’re a commoner, fuck I’m so screwed I need your help, I’ll explain later

You think I’m a celebrity and you’re talking too much for me to explain I am defintely not… that dude. What was his name again?

You’re a superhero and I’m your best friend and what the fuck man? Why the hell didn’t you tell me? If you had maybe I would be fucking caught with this stupid ass monologue-ing villain

I have a very cute neighbour and very thin walls and one day I call you and err… your moans are very synchronised with my neighbour's…

I’m a superhero and you’re a supervillain and I saw you visiting kids at the children’s hospital and letting them act like they defeated you and now it’s really hard to punch you in the face

Profession Based

Your my mailman and I can’t help but notice that you linger at my door slightly longer than you need to ever since you saw me that one time. Do you want to come inside?

I’m a private detective and your my client and fuck man you’re in some deep shit

You’re a protester and I’m a police officer. Seriously can you please calm down a little bit, this is my job not my  beliefs.

I’m a make-up artist/hair stylist and I you’re an actor/model and are you flirting or???

You’re a celebrity and sorry mate, I have to take pictures to pay rent, I know its invasive seriously, sorry

You’re a store clerk and fuck, is that my ex? Can I please hide behind this counter?

You’re a lifeguard at my kid’s swimming competition and I fell in the pool with all my clothes on and you awkwardly tried to save me even though I didn’t need it.

You work at a pet store and I came in to look at tarantulas but somehow we lost the biggest one and its loose somewhere in the store and it really doesn’t help that you’re terrified of spiders

I’m a firefighter and you started a fire in your kitchen but you’re still flirting with me even though you’re not wearing pants and I’m carrying you down a ladder. Stop complimenting my muscles for fucks sake

We work at the same company and I kind of had a crush on you until I noticed that you’re the asshole stealing my lunch from the office fridge.

I’m a firefighter and you live near the station I work at and we talk/flirt with each other a lot. One day me and my team get called to put out a fire and it’s your home ablaze. You don’t make it.

I work at a fruit store and you come in almost every day and rearrange stuff on the shelves and then leave. Today you made the apples spell ‘call me’

It’s 2am and I was just trying to get home but I left my sunroof open all day and now there’s a squirrel in my car and it scared me and I drove into a pole - stop laughing! You’re a cop, aren’t you supposed to be helping?

You’re drunk and want my name tattooed on your ass.

You always bring your dates to the restaurant I wait at and now you’re here alone… you okay mate?

Winter Times

It’s snowing and I usually walk to work but that’s not happening, hey roomie, can you please drive me? Yes I know its 4am

I accidently gave all my winter clothes to charity over the summer and not its not so much summer, but I’m broke and hey… could you give me your old winter clothes… maybe?

I love the cold, but I promised to visit you for a good 4 months and wow, why did I do this? There isn’t snow here?

I don’t know you, but you just threw a snowball at my face, mate, its on.

I don’t know who the hell you are, but my roommate has someone over and It’s really cold outside…. Can I come in? Or like, have a blanket, or even a towel?

Old Friends

I knew you in high school and I ran into you at a renaissance fair wearing full knight regalia

I met you once when I was 12, we started a pen-pal relationship across the world and haven’t stopped even though we are a lot older now. 

You were my best friend when we were younger but your family moved to the other side of the world, and we haven’t talked in years. But now your back and wow how did you recognise me when I can’t even remember your name?

Fake Dating

I hired you to be my date for a wedding but your super cute, maybe we cannot fake-date? 

I’m fake dating you to have someone to vent to on family gatherings while also pissing off my conservative uncle that I never liked and wow… have your eyes always been this nice?

We’re both cosplayers and we somehow always manage to meet each other at cons dressed as a popular ship and people always want photos of us in compromising positions and so we always end up fake-dating the entire day but you’re actually really hot and I’m head over heels for you

My friend dragged me to this party and I just saw my ex, quick make out with me, I’ll pay you.

Miscellaneous

I’m blind and wow your voice is absolutely beautiful can you just keep talking? Forever? Please?

My younger sibling is besties with your sibling and even though we hate each other I guess we’ve got to start hanging out a little

We are both at a grocery store at am and you offered to arm wrestle me for the last box of cereal, its on!

You’re sleeping on my best friend’s couch while your house is being renovated and you have really weird habits like attempting to sing opera in the shower and you keep eating all my Nutigrain 

We bump into each other every Friday at the supermarket to buy the same ice-cream and maybe we should eat it together?

Our parents are dating and thank god I’m not the only one pissed off about this

I went to museum to get some inspiration and then I saw you staring at one of the paintings in awe and wow you just noticed me drawing you and this is awkward

I decide to take a shortcut home that involves crawling through a really tight hole in a fence and I end up getting stuck and you just happened to pass by and now you’re laughing at me

I took a bunch of free condoms from health services just because I could and they all fell out of my bag at once and now you’re staring at me weirdly

We are trapped in a bank during a robbery

Your country is trying to take over mine and I might be a little attracted to you and stop this it’s really hard to retaliate okay?

I was on my balcony and you started loudly quoting romeo and juliet at me
