All Romance - All The Time: Topic of the Day: What sort of date would your OC plan?

[Juniper_dG]

Bard is terrible at flirting when it's with someone he actually likes--overthinking and self-conscious. He can flirt with his best friend Victory, but only because they're not interested in each other romantically. So 3 for someone he likes, 7 for friends.

Kai is good at flirting--too good, because he doesn't even know he's doing it. He's eager and ingenuous, so if he likes someone, he's going to act like he likes them. 13/10--off the scale but unlucky because his openness weirds people out.

@beebutterbee If this is your imperfection I need to throw my drawing tablet out the window. it's so pretty and cute. Also, does Chariot have a gap in her two front teeth? I never noticed that before.

I think it’s just the way she talks so more like 8 of 10 or maybbeee even 11 out of 10 in some instances.

she just talks flirtatiously? lol, that sounds interesting...

[Leyelle]

but unlucky because his openness weird people out.

I have some characters who suffer from this too lol

[Leyelle]

What is your couple's dynamic (on a scale from "cozy" to "chaotic")

is it possible that they can be cozy and chaotic at the same time? Because that's basically what Texas and Chili are. They are very comfortable around each other and don't have a lot of long lasting drama, but they are both cray-cray.

@Leyelle Omg no I don’t think the art I drew was bad thank you! I think it looks cute too. I mean more the method of drawing is more imperfect, messier, less time spent perfecting every little detail. So it’s a bit more scribbly of a result but I do like it. I think I need to go faster in my art process though because I get stuck on pages in butter bee trying to do it “perfect” but I have to remind myself it’s just for fun!

does Chariot have a gap in her two front teeth?

You know looking back at the other art of her I’ve never really drawn her smiling lol there is one picture but it’s so tiny the detail is lost. But I always imagined she has a tooth gap.

she just talks flirtatiously?

Yeah I feel like she very jokester? But the playfulness comes up as flirty to most people, which can be sort of a negative trait honestly

[beebutterbee]

On a scale from cozy to chaotic I think they’re leaning more cozy but I think the start of their relationship was more chaotic? But in the current timeline I’d say very cozy

Ohh you know what, I think Sabah and Hieronyma are like Chili and Texas honestly though. I get that dynamic lol XD it’s just those wacky personalities!!! Mine were alien fanatics, like conspiracy level weirdos. But also the aliens are …REAL?!

[KevinReijnders]

Once they're coupled up, Kyara and Zack are definitely more "cozy". There's not much drama between them (mainly because I don't want relationship drama to drive the plot) and are generally stronger together than apart. Once they get used to being a couple and passed that initial awkward stage, they quickly become very clingy and really enjoy each other's... let's say 'company', much to the chagrin of their fellow travel companions

you definitely don't want every rando to think you're flirting with them XD

XD. Texas and Chili's obsessions are comics, cats, kdramas and kpop (the alliteration knows no bounds)

also fashion. no illiteration there. TBH, if aliens were real i'd be to scared to be a fanatic, but as it is I love spec fic

Repressed Englishman vs agent of chaos whose default setting is flirting. It's basically the excited puppy and the annoyed cat gif.

Missed opportunity to say fixation for fashion lol I love pairings of characters who are good friends though, I tend to do that to whenever romance does pop out in a story.

TBH, if aliens were real i'd be to scared to be a fanatic, but as it is I love spec fic

You know, hard same, I’d also be terrified if aliens were real. Especially if they looked like those classic creepy aliens with the big ol shiny eyes and gray skin. No thank you

@KevinReijnders

passed that initial awkward stage

Is it still an adorkable awkward stage though lol I see you also took the good friend to romance route too like us!

[KevinReijnders]

Haha, if there's one thing you can count on, it's that these two will find a way to be awkward one way or another

And absolutely! I prefer those a whole lot. Imo those types of relationships have a higher chance of success.

[beebutterbee]

I can’t wait to see how that plays out

And yes! I totally agree, a solid friendship is a good foundation for healthy romantic relationship.

[KevinReijnders]

I can’t wait to see how that plays out

haha, if you like to see them being awkward patatoes, then Ch03 is going to be right up your alley.

Why do I imagine him spitting out blue milk I guess I’ve been watching too much star wars lol

[NGChloe]

Alright, the couples aren't really introduced quite yet, but I know their dynamics pretty well.
Setsune x Belle: they can communicate and understand each other without speaking
Otora x Andrea: I can fix her, I can make her worse
Setsune and Genoveva: divorced parents

Haha, Star Wars is a big influence on my work, but his drink is neither blue nor milk. It is in fact this neon green liquor, a favorite of Rowyn to drink after her work

[Leyelle]

What is your oc's favorite thing about their significant other?

As annoying as she finds it sometimes, Texas's favorite thing about Chili is the way he pushes her to become her best self and doesn't mollycoddle her. While it's hard to narrow down one thing when you go vice versa, Chili loves how passionate Texas is about people's well-being (irl people, she finds slapstick much funnier than she should.) His favorite thing about her is probably how unabashedly weird she is.

Favorite thing?

Kyara:
She definitely likes how much of an inventive dork Zack is.

Zack:
Euhm... he's very normal about it

Hi! As the author of "Maria the Vampire Princess," I'd say that Maria admired Jonathan's determination but, being young, didn't mind falling for the only boy she met who wasn't royalty.

What is the biggest source of conflict between your character and oc and their significant other?

For Texas and Chili, it's the fact that he's a real taskmaster when it comes to helping her strengthen her weaknesses. She HATES practicing her weaknesses and would rather avoid them

(this is literally him itemizing a list of her weaknesses that she needs to strengthen)
