“No, Sansa took lemons and made lemoncake.

Arya took lemons, and hurled them at her enemies.

Jon took lemons and sucked them, then complained that they were sour.

Robb ignored the lemons, didn’t take good advice, and lost his head…

Rickon tried to out run the lemons, but they wouldn’t let him leave.

Bran transcended beyond the lemon…

Ned disguised a lime as a lemon.

Littlefinger told Catelyn that a grapefruit was an orange and she believed him.

Catelyn told Ned to trust the orange.

Sam read a book and realised that one of the lemons was a yellow lime. (See Ned.)

Gilly was just thankful to have something to eat.

Tormund squirted a lemon in his eye to try and impress Brienne.

Brienne used the lemons to shine her armour.

Jamie used the lemons to lighten his hair.

Davos has no recollection where the lemons came from, he certainly didn’t smuggle them in and they are certainly not grown from Baratheon seed. (Hides Gendry.)

D**nerys declared the lemons to be bananas, then burnt everybody that told her they were lemons.”

Lol.

This review on Rotten Tomatoes is an epic burn.

They walk and they talk. And then they walk and talk some. Which is to say that this is a total pedestrian affair.

Enemies to Lovers: The Power of Circumstance

I think that something a lot of enemies to lovers shippers miss is that many of the best transitions from enemies to lovers happen not because of a change of PERSON but a change of CIRCUMSTANCES.

Often when Character A and Character B meet, the circumstances cause them to clash, not necessarily their personalities. Maybe they are opposite sides of a war. Maybe they are competitors in a tournament. Maybe they’re both just having a rotten day and thus they clash. They’ve got their walls up. They’re not in the position to know each other beyond a basic, shallow level.

But then, later, they meet under different circumstances. Maybe its two sports rivals meeting in public and talking like normal people. Maybe its a hero and a villain unexpectedly having to team up to fight someone they both need gone. Maybe they meet many years later and realize that their first impression is wrong. And through this change of circumstances, a new aspect of their personality is revealed. Perhaps they have…more in common than they thought. And then the relationship can develop from there.

The reason why the circumstances are SO IMPORTANT, is because at their core, Character A and Character B have to be complimentary in some way. They have to have traits that mesh together well. If something is keeping them apart, it should be the situation, not just a fundamental difference of morals or personality. That way you avoid the sometimes icky idea that character A CHANGED character B with their love.

That is not to say that the characters won’t change. Because often circumstances prompt a shift in character. A villain could go through a hard loss which softens them, a hero could lose faith in what they have been fighting for, any character could have a change in priorities based on something big that happens to them. But these changes shouldn’t be only motivated by a love interest. The two characters should be moving and evolving organically separate from each other–and through that evolution, they happen to grow together.

So if you want to tackle an enemies to lovers relationship, consider this:

1) What keeps these characters from getting along when they meet?

2) What would have to change in their circumstances to push them together?

3) How would they ultimately compliment each other if those circumstances changed?

Enemies to lovers is one of my favorite dynamics so I hope this tip helps!

John: Don’t you think it’s time you finally faced your biggest fear?

Sherlock: Snakes?

John: No.

Sherlock: Clowns?

John: No.

Sherlock: Snake-clowns?

John: Sherlock, listen. Your biggest fear… is being part of a family again.

Sherlock: Nope. Now it’s snake-clowns, because you put that idea in my head.
