I want more Hufflepuff villains
Villains so thoroughly devoted to the cause that they would do just about anything, not for themselves but for it
Villains who look out for other villains, because if they die, that's one less person to kill off before getting to them
Idk I just want horrifyingly loyal villains

Pair that with guys who think it's for a good cause and you have a match made in heaven because of course they're going to do all they can for the right cause and each other.

@Wry_Wyvern

Yes! And on the flip side, quiet extroverts who aren't good at or even comfortable with some social situations, they just want to hang out with people

You know the trope where two characters solely call each other by nicknames or last names, but then one and/or both are in danger or an otherwise precarious situation, and they use the other person's real name? Give it to me.

@Pickles group

my sister had the opposite in one of her ideas. One of her characters called another "Theeny" when he was scared and we never got that far but it was really cute. Yeah, we couldn't think of a good nickname for Athena

This reminds me of Watch What Happens (Reprise) from Newsies.

I can offer a pair who call each other by personal names only when alone and speak to each other in professional names while in public.

Ooh tempting
I did like the Scythe books, and I've been meaning to read more from him

(And there was only one bed D:)

Hmm that happened in my dream last night. Me and Mikayla shared a bed. I held her hand last night platonically (While we watched Hamilton!) so I think that had to do with it.

@HighPockets group

Gays that are casual, happy, or both.

I'm genuinely so sick of reading books that are just about the struggles of being queer and have such negative endings. I get that it can be realistic but when you're a Baby Gay and looking for books about people like you, it really sucks when they all are so miserable.

I’d like to see more depressed characters who don’t have their lives together. I’ve seen depressed characters who are, for example, in school, and they have a perfect GPA and do extracurriculars but are always Unhappy and Empty Inside- which is completely valid and relatable to some people (such as myself a few years ago), but that’s all I ever seem to see. There are also a lot of depressed people who are failing and struggling to be productive, which is more frowned upon in society and needs more recognition- being productive and wanting to die is “tragic”, being unable to do things is “lazy.” I’d like to see the “inconvenient” aspects of depression more often.
