Relationship Dynamics from Tumblr (part 5)

[@FloatyyBrain]

I have two characters where it’s only enemies to lovers on one side. Character A hates character B with a passion at the beginning of the story, while character B thinks it’s a friends to lovers as they literally are incapable of picking up the social cues Character A is giving them. Eventually Character A starts to like Character B as they persist with showing A nothing but kindness and friendliness, while B sees barely any change except that A now gives them hugs.

Consider this: A is like "I would die for you." and B is like "But will you live for me?" and then B dies in some horrible, heart-wrenching way. It's literally perfect.

hey. hey. hey. READ OMNISCIENT READER'S VIEWPOINT. It's a 3,000 page webnovel with the post gay-notgay-maybe-poly ship i've ever seen. It's a love letter to stories and storytelling and a self-help book disguised as another shitty webnovel. Everything is so well plotted. There are plot holes everywhere.

9:46 two of my characters have a backstory that goes as such: they came out to each other, went "hey, you're gay, i'm gay, let's kiss", dated for two weeks, realised it's not a good idea to immediately get into a relationship with the first other gay person you've ever met, and stayed friends. good for them tbh

[@eggtoucher]

[@Beelsoranges]

Reminds me of how so many lesbians are best friends with their exes since they are good people, just shouldn’t jump into relationships that quickly. (Speaking from experience btw)

[@zeethezebra]

I think my favorite relationship trope is "I want you to see yourself the way I see you." It doesn't matter if it's romantic, queerplatonic, friendship, familial, or anything in between. It's just as simple as one character doesn't think to highly of themselves and the other just is like "You are loved and one day I will make you understand why you are loved."

[@thecousinwithaforesaken]

What does queerplatonic mean

[@thecousinwithaforesaken]

Nvm I found it

[@DinahInWonderland]

😔👌 yes, I just adore *this* ship dynamic. Sadly, while it can be seen, it's not as prevalent in fiction as other relationship tropes. So, whenever I do find a ship that is like this, (no matter the nature, can be friends, family, romance, queerplatonic, etc etc, just as you said) I inevitably go bonkers and hyperfixate like there's no tomorrow. Just right now, for example, I have terminal AsoRyuu brainworms, where _both_ of the characters are the one that goes "I want you to see yourself the way I see you" and it's slowly corroding my brain to oblivion ahhGauah

[@bojuu]

my favourite thing to do is assign complex relationship dynamics to characters and ships that i like. most of the time in canon their relationship is so simple, but im like "no. it's much more complex than that. it's way deeper. you just dont know it yet >:("

[@personornot]

sammmmeeeee!!!!

[@corndawg9595]

Yes. And then when there are shows with very complicated relationship dynamics I like to simplify them. So when everything is simple I’m like “You know what would make this better? Long angsty and complicated backstories!” And when everything is very complicated and dramatic I’m like “You know what would make this better? Is they could just shut up and be happy existing for five seconds.” Regardless I think it’s always fun as fans to put our own spin on things. :)

[@Kr1spyR0ckz]

and then i take like one or two canon quotes from the characters and use them to pretty much *speculate* a bunch of angsty lore about the characters and then be like "ITS CANON! THEY SAID THIS IN THE BOOKS!"

My best friend and I have one of those "if we're not married by a certain age we're marrying each other" pacts AND the *unintelligible* vs "yeah I completely understand* dynamic Now that would be great basis for a ship in fiction, but actually she's a lesbian and I'm a trans guy. task FAILED lmao

[@corndawg9595]

No. No this is the PERFECT dynamic. It doesn’t have to be romantic.

[@liljatupsu]

I'm in a friendgroup of three. One time I was with friend A and she said that if the three of us are still single by the time we're 50, we all need to get married together. (Little does she know I'm aroace so it's a little more likely than she thinks lol.) I found the idea fun and later when I saw friend B, I told her about it. I later found out that friend B didn't know friend A was involved in the plan. She thought I'd suggested that it was going to be just the two of us getting married. Basically I accidentally proposed to my friend and she just accepted that we might be getting married in 30 years

[@HiperPivociarz]

5:00 But consider: Evil character whose love for their significant other awakens something dark in the significant other. Enemies to lovers, but instead of the villain turning good for their love, the hero turns evil for their love.

[@omgem3669]

I’m constantly making tired x energetic ships. At any given moment, you’ll look over and see me drawing an exhausted character holding hands with a very perky one, and eventually you’ll get confused on who’s dating who

[@corndawg9595]

Current favorite dynamic with two characters I have is when both characters have similar issues or trauma but it affects them in almost opposite ways. Both have abandonment issues. Character A dumps all of their emotions and energy into a relationship when they start to feel secure in it because they’re desperate to maintain something stable- which usually ends in them spiraling as the other person can’t keep up with it and Character A sort of destroys the relationship in the effort to hold on to it. Meanwhile Character B distances themself as soon as they start to get attached to someone to avoid building a relationship that they’re afraid will end up in the other leaving them. Character A and B end up becoming friends and sort of lovers who initially help each other emotionally, then fall apart, then fall back together again. Character A convinces Character B that they’re someone worth staying around for. Character B teaches Character A that a healthy relationship doesn’t make you sacrifice all of yourself for it. Both of them start being able to trust that the other person really cares, and become more secure in themselves.

[@CadanL]

This one absolutely fucks me up everytime

[@Legomicroman]

5:25 reminds me of an idea, i've had quite some time ago: a pair of anthro spider characters. the male character is a short, talkative guy, while BIIIG his wife technically can and does speak, but she does it very rarely and mostly speaks with her expressions, her man can read perfectly. And his wife is a good listener.

[@RulerOfArniskad]

My favourite ship dynamic (mostly for romantic partners) is when A is a horrifying, allknowing, omnipotent and omniexistent entity that somehow stumbles onto B, a calm, innocent and kind person that just absolutely *M E L T S* A's heart A: (echoing menacing voice) "What are you doing in these parts of the forest, Mortal?" B: "idk i just got kinda lost. But can i say, that cloak of yours is like, super beautiful!" A: **flustered god noises**

[@sashimiroll5055]

The only relationship dynamic that exists is: Person 1: A character you can project yourself onto Person 2: Your type (I definitely didn’t steal this from a Tumblr post…nope…)

Because of various friends I have a short feral overworking 25 y.o. woman who keeps getting adopted by various creatures and people.

[@HiperPivociarz]

6:11 My favorite book has this dynamic reversed. Lena is like a social outcast, with black hair, who dresses in black and grey, and writes poetry and plays viola, but she's actually a big ray of sunshine, that would die for her friends, and she always encourages them to eat veggies and pay attention in class and be nice. Meanwhile her cousin Ridley is this lipstick feral bicon, who loves shopping, dyes her hair pink, and dresses in bright colors, but she absolutely hates all humans, and says she's heartless and doesn't love anyone. But she will still die for Lena, because they're like sisters. I love their friendship. Is so cute. And I love the subversion of the trope.

I have so many favorites to both write and read, but here are a select few: -two best friends, completely different from one another, but it's them against the world (bonus points if everyone around them is convinced they're in a romantic relationship (double bonus points if this is part of the conflict, ie: one of them is in love with someone else but that person thinks they're already in a committed relationship)) -"frenemies" except the conflict is character a is too dumb to notice someone else is in love with them and character b is getting increasingly frustrated trying to get them together, cause they just want character a to be happy -when character a is the ONLY one who can truly get through to character b in times of need -two characters who are definitely dating and everyone knows it...except them -character a is insanely good at fighting, they always protect character b, who can't protect themself well, but when the time comes, character b lays down their life for character a, usually in a dramatic climax that has everyone sobbing -two people, regardless of the type of relationship they have, are just two idiots who love nothing more than torturing everyone around them - together!

Anything that says "Character A would and will beat the crap out of anyone who hurts B" is my jam.

[@HiperPivociarz]

My favorite thing is when two partners become more and more alike as the story progresses. Maybe character A has a very specific interest that character B's never heard about, but now they're practically an expert at it just by being around A. Or maybe B has like a catchphrase, like maybe, "Don't call me X!", and character A finds it amusing, but then later down the line someone calls B that, and character A jumps in "Don't call them X!" It's so tragic yet so beautiful. They happily abandoned a bit of themselves, because compatibility suits them so much more than individuality.

[@tinytatotot2910]

My favorite and basically only romantic OC ship dynamic is wholesome/caring/positive character and the badass who could end you if you decided to harm character A.

Love the friendship group dynamic of: Inseperable group for a couple of years during childhood/school/work, who through circumstances beyond their control have to go their seperate ways for a few years. Down-to-earth/sunshine character of the group goes through some stuff that changes them for worse, and when they finally reunite, you have this gaggle of utterly baffled, somewhat terrified and/or otherwise badly reacting friends who kept themselves together a little better. And then the whole dynamic slowly changes because former sunshine is suddenly far more cynical, assertive and rough around the edges, but you have this ONE person who is all the way on-board with the switch. The others either learn to deal with it, or slowly distance themselves from former sunshine and then the group. I LOVE CHARACTER DEVELOPEMENT THAT BREAKS PEOPLE INTO BITS AND REASSEMBLES THEM.

[@furresquidexists]

one character relationship I enjoy is like bad guy and good guy in a work relationship EX: bad guy is robbing a bank and good guy is trying to stop them, but it’s like a routine and depending the bad guy leaves with stolen goods and says “same time next Friday?” or bad guy gets caught (probably to make good guy happy) and bad guy is proud

Character A is amazing and awesome at everything and always super confident. Character B messes up a lot, is nervous and scared and has self esteem issues.

I have two characters that are both stuck in the same cabin the middle of the forest in the dead of winter. A is quiet and contemplative. They like they’re in complete denial about the situation and has ruthless but quiet optimism about it. They write about their woes but never tell them to B in an effort to keep their friend’s spirits up. B is a complete nervous wreck and is really paranoid that they’re both going to die. Like to the point where it doesn’t seem healthy to A. B is funny and charismatic but is convinced there’s no way out. They’re both handling the situation in different ways and they try to understand and help each other get through their terrible circumstances.

0:52 I read something like this before!! In characters A culture, giving things in sets of three is a sign of good friendship, however in character Bs culture, giving things in sets of three, plus the things A gives them (meat, jewelry, and something else I can't remember) is a very romantic marriage proposal. Cue the chaos.

Why only two characters who have nothing in common but still love each other so much? Why not SEVEN?! OR MORE?! Why not have a whole found family where nobody in it has anything in common with anyone else?

This is your reminder that wholesome relationships are still good and valid. Good for you if you prefer relationships that involve a platonic or romantic bond between two individuals and it makes them closer to each other in a positive way. HOWEVER I would like to say I love big stoic canine × annoying cat

[@hihi-kv8kv]

3:04 genuinely, this is one of my absolute favs. Granted, all my ships are usually ones that aren’t canon, but still.

[@XxGloomyGuillotinexX]

my favorite ship dynamic will always and forever be Character A: Tall, Strong man that works hard everyday, does tones of manual labor, and gets the job done each and every time... But when spoken to, he's extremely shy, awkward, nervous, and easily flustered by the smallest of things. Character B: Shorter, more introverted guy with a niche interest and few friends, prefers to stay indoors, and is generally outcasted by society, making him almost socially inept... except he's the only person that trusts Character A and is considered the more "dominant" one in the relationship. is it because this is the ship dynamic that my self insert oc and Sebastian from stardew valley have? maybe, but thats between me and god.

5:05 yes, I am staring at *you*, Maven Calore, who else would I be looking at?
