like it's MY fault my love language is acts of service and all i know how to do is kill
*thinks abt characters having a domestic life* oh god. Oh fuck. *trascends into the next astral plane*
you know what’s better than enemies/rivals to lovers or whatever. one-sided rivalries where one character is extremely passionate and the other seriously couldn’t give less of a shit. and not necessarily romantically it’s just funny as hell
OK BUT HEAR ME OUT ON SKATER BF SCARAMOUCHE
skater!scaramouche who bribes you with free food so you can accompany him to the nearest skate park, he doesn't mind that his bank account is getting drained, as long as you're there it's worth it
skater!scaramouche who uses the cute hello kitty bandaids you gave him everytime he gets a bruise, he doesn't care that his friends tease him for it nor does he care that it doesn't go well with his outfits.
skater!scaramouche who keeps an extra jacket in the back of his car, he knows it'll get cold specially during the late nights you spend hanging out at the skate park, he also knows you'd probably forget to bring a jacket
skater!scaramouche who uses "teaching you how to skateboard" as an excuse to hold you close to him
skater!scaramouche who'll proudly put all the decals you give him on his skateboard, no matter how big or small, glittery or holographic, it's going on his skateboard.
skater!scaramouche who "accidentally" fails a trick and lands on a person after they looked at you weird
just yk, skater bf scaramouche <33
You’re a shopkeeper who sells liquid dreams. People come to your shop for many reasons; self revelation, escapism, to see a gone loved one or for a precious good night sleep. Your shop is located between dimensions so no visitor can come twice. However, recently you’ve seemed to gain a regular.
childe-xiao friendship is so funny to me especially when it starts out as 'abyss scum you deserve to die' turns into 'hey we have a lot in common, we're both being corrupted by evil energy and have given our lives to our archons' and then eventually circles back around to 'WAIT NO STOP FUCKING MY DAD'
you know how water gods are often shapeshifters in greek mythology? how they are able to take many forms to reflect the ever-changing nature of water?
well. all i'm gonna say is it would be interesting if odysseus came back to ithaka a little bit...wrong. cold skin and damp hair and eyes that can't quite decide if they're gray-blue or brown. athena isn't the only one with the power to disguise people, after all, and who's the say that beggar was ever odysseus in the first place?
my main advice for writing an enemies to lovers relationship is to resist the urge to make the characters' loathing and attraction mutually exclusive opposing forces. it's okay if they're getting weirdly into it and having Thoughts whilst also sincerely wanting to kill each other with hammers.
