tune

part of my story does and he's a smol 5 year old bean right now but he's about to get attacked and a bunch of other stuff is going to turn him into a power-hungry villain and oh boy I'm excited

I have one that could turn that way, but my MC and I keep getting into arguments over the direction of the story so we're at an impasse at the moment while I work on another project

Half of my characters are just the sweetest people ever, and the other half are the biggest most obnoxious assholes and there's like. no inbetween.

I'd like to see some supernatural creatures with morals, like not only vampires with hang ups about blood, but like, maybe a several hundred year old being that doesn't date anyone because they don't think it's appropriate for them to date a human that's so much younger than them, as opposed to the mindset of "I can date whoever I want because I look 20". or something idk

This has probably been said so many times but pls pls pls let a male and female character be PLATONIC
Males and females can be just friends!!! Bonus points if they're both attractive and still just friends

*Or at least not date a minor because we all understand that the dating pool for immortals is relatively small.

Hard agree.

*Or at least not date a minor because we all understand that the dating pool for immortals is relatively small.

My least favorite is "Oh, while I may LOOK like a prepubescent girl, I'm actually a 2000-year-old dragon! So it's totally fine for a 60-year-old man to date and marry me!"
(In the case of Fire Emblem, someone has to canonically have sex with them if you want all the child characters. Yeesh!)

vomits enthusiastically

Does the same, while going "nope nope nope nope" repeatedly

Lmao I totally referenced this at some point but you really went for the throat there and called them out by name

"Does anyone want to marry the old man? I'm the only gay option, and also an old man!"

(Wait, who are you referring to? That sounds really familiar.)

JelloApocalypse's So This is Basically Fire Emblem

Ah, yes. That. Lmao they're right tbh.

I know it's cliche, but I'm a slut for the exposing popularity thing
I don't know why. It's so dumb. I love it

???

Like, a high schooler decides to make a movie or write a report or something about what it's like to be popular, and then they get dragged into the popular crowd and all their drama

Interesting…

let me have my guilty pleasures
bonus points if there's a cheesy romance

I like my romances best done like fine wine.

Maybe some cheese on the side. But with class.

I'm very particular about my romances. I never know if I'm going to like it, and I don't know what I find likeable

So kinda like Heathers but wholesome?

I'm a slut for a good hate-to-love
Bonus points if it's gay

Yeah. And less death, usually but death is fine too

Also yes

I'm a slut for a good hate-to-love

If it’s good.

Yeah, I have very specific requirements for hate-to-love, namely that the two characters need to be on even playing fields (eg. they both hate each other and it's not just one character bullying the other, they both realize their feelings at around the same time, etc.)
