When a Character is Falling in Love but Doesn’t Trust It

Love is terrifying. Especially for characters who’ve been hurt, shut down, or raised to believe vulnerability is weakness. So when they start falling? It doesn’t look like a Disney montage. It looks like panic in slow motion.

✧ They start noticing everything and it unsettles them. The way their voice cracks when they laugh. The way their fingers tap when they’re thinking. These little details burrow in and refuse to leave. And that awareness makes the character feel exposed.

✧ They become hyperaware of their own body. Where their hands are. How close they’re standing. If they’re blushing. It’s like being inside a body that’s betraying them constantly.

✧ They act a little mean. Not because they are mean. But because being cold is safer than being real. Sarcasm, distance, teasing, they use it like armor.

✧ They hate how much they want to share things. They’ll see a funny meme and instinctively want to send it. Then stop. No. Don’t get attached. They want to tell them about a childhood memory, then bite it back. Too personal.

✧ They become inconsistent. Warm one moment, distant the next. Showing up, then pulling away. They’re testing how much of themselves they can reveal before it feels like too much.

✧ They assume the worst. They know it won’t last. That this person will leave. That they’re misreading everything. Love doesn’t feel safe, it feels like a countdown to pain.

✧ They self-sabotage. Pick fights. Flake on plans. Pull away emotionally just to “protect themselves” before it goes wrong. It’s tragic and messy and real.

✧ They notice silence more. What wasn’t said. A delayed reply. A joke that didn’t land. Everything becomes a sign that maybe this love thing was a mistake.

✧ They want to run, but never do. The desire to bolt is constant. But they don’t. Because something about this person is pulling them back, despite every warning bell going off in their head.

✧ They don’t trust the feeling, but they keep falling anyway. And that’s what makes it beautiful. And heartbreaking. Because they don’t want to fall. But they do. And maybe, just maybe, that’s the bravest thing they’ve ever done.

royjamie locker room hug will always make me insane it doesn’t matter how many times i’ve seen it. the way u can see it dawning on roy all the way through… the way he doesn’t say anything. the way jamie tucks his face into his neck. the way u can hear him barely holding back his sobs. everyone else staying silent and just letting them have a moment. the fact that this gesture is what completely shifts jamie’s mindset and proves to him that roy cares about him, so the next time he has a meltdown he immediately grabs onto him knowing it’s okay and he won’t push him away. and he’s right.

I know the line "You're the closest friend I have left." is part of Hans Capon romance route but it fascinates me on purely platonic level as well.

Because all of Henry's childhood friends are still alive. Because Henry can so easily make friends with literally anyone and everyone. Yet he choses to call Hans his closes friend.

Because Henry has changed and he is failing to connect with his old friends or maybe he recognises nor that it was always a friendship of convenience and that he has nothing in common with Matthew and Fritz and Mathias anymore. And from all the possible options he somehow feels closes to Hans though they know each other for such a short time and their is class difference in between them and yet... Henry still calls him his closest friend.

superbat might not be everyone's cup of tea but you have to admit "person who wears glasses as their secret identity but doesn't need them" and "person who avoids wearing glasses until they absolutely have to" is a hilarious dynamic for a relationship.

“Aragorn is peak masculinity” no, BOROMIR IS.

Sure Aragorn is unapologetic in I love with his elf gf and is the king of Gondor, but Boromir unapologetically cares for his companions while also being a badass. Like Boromir has fought practically his whole life, but he still has his compassion for others. When they find Balin’s tomb, Boromir is the one who offers a hand of comfort to Gimli. When Gandalf fell, he carried Frodo away from the bridge because he knew he wouldn’t leave otherwise. He argued against Aragorn to let everyone have time to mourn instead of walking on again. His death was caused by him in protecting those that couldnt defend themself in the situation, and who in the beginning cpuld easily be regarded as “useless”. He was clearly shown to have cared for his younger brother, telling their father that Faramir loves him. He advocated for everyone, unwaveringly. THAT is peak masculinity.
