forum What MAKES a romance plot for you?

tune

?

• Mutual trust
• Slow burn
• One gets hurt and the other one tends their wounds
• Disagreements that don't end in an instant recollection
• Bringing out the best of each other
• Love that isn't InstaloveTM
• Conflicting personalities that actually make sense

• Friends to lovers
• character development
• love is helping each other through tough times, kind of plays equal but opposite role of love cures all (love cures all is a bad trope. Love won't cure depression, but having someone by your side to help makes things a bit easier.)
• Opposites don't attract. Complements do.
• Kiss isn't the first indicator that they're in a relationship
• It's really cute when someone doesn't realize they're being crushed on

• Joking with each other
• Become great friends first. No instant love or interest at first sight.
• Mutual understanding
• Character development
• No quick romance, take it nice and easy like a regular relationship where they overcome obstacles and trials.
• Having them both realize they like/love each other and come to terms with it.
  (and not be totally surprised that they do. Like, they knew it was coming. 🤷❤️)
• Trust. A lot of trust. Like "you can leave your seat and I won't eat your fries 🍟" trust.

• Best friends as well as lovers
• Slow burn
• Not the plot but important
• Trust
• Fully accept each other's friends and family
• Don't agree on everything because that's unrealistic and argues sometimes but good-naturedly
• Cute young dorks not knowing how to approach each other

Okay how do you do bullet points?

Glad to see that my plot has all of these!

I like it when it’s not like the people fight once and then like sop talking for a while, then awkwardly go back to talking again. I just find that infuriating. Also, I personally really like cute fluffy romances. I mean,if you wannna get sexual, that’s fine. But my preference is just cuddling. Just pure cuddling and stuff. That’s really all I want. I just want to see that depicted for once.

All of these oml

Also I’d like to stress what has been said already because damn

S L O W B U R N

My plot is a sci-fi/fantasy rom-com about two lifelong friends named Watan amd Siegfried, who go on adventures together…

I'm glad to see it has all of this…
