writing tip #1401:

don’t name it after a food

Imagine your Smol and Tol otp where Tol is doing push-ups and Smol is lying under them so they are more motivated to stay up on their arms and keep going and sometimes when they push down they get a peck on the lips (and then Tol gets tired and collapses heavily on top of Smol, smushing them while they flail)

soft squishy characters aggressively hugging angry explosive characters to calm them down and the angry character closing their eyes/choking back tears and quietly melting into the hug

fun au to consider: one half of your otp has to brutally murder the other half because they’ve become something they never wanted to be
