“Our own selves make us most unhappy, and that’s why we’re so anxious to lose them, don’t you think?”

– The Secret History

ideas for interesting platonic dynamics:

older siblings trying to maintain a cool persona to impress younger siblings who idolize them 

character avoiding their landlord cause they’re late to pay rent 

neighbors who have grown weirdly accustomed to each other and don’t feel right if the other person isn’t home 

following the same idea… one of them finally moves out and the other neighbor deliberately scares away potential new inhabitants cause they can’t stand the idea of anyone else living next door 

alternatively, shenanigans between neighbors who cannot stand each other and are each trying very hard to get the other to move out 

adult characters bonding with their friends’ children 

characters who are just sick of each other for no particular reason, they’re just weirded out by how often they coincidentally end up in the same places 

character stalking another character, but solely to use their extensive knowledge about them to avoid them 

long-lost friends/relatives reunited after many years who now have to get to know each other all over again 

doctor/therapist/other health care specialist frustrated with a chaotic patient who keeps getting themselves into awful situations 

tension between characters of different religions, but not hateful!! there’s just a lot of confusion about each other’s beliefs as they get to know each other 

parents trying very hard not to play favorites with their children 

children trying very hard not to play favorites with their parents 

teachers trying very hard not to play favorites with their students 

business partners become business rivals 

business rivals become business partners 

friend groups where pets are also considered part of the group (thinking of scooby doo) 

bitter enemies teaming up against a bigger enemy 

mentor/apprentice, but the mentor doesn’t know what they’re doing at all, they’re just winging it 

mentor/apprentice where it turns out that the apprentice is actually more skilled/knowledgable than the mentor 

ex-villains slowly learning to trust their old enemies 

ex-villains trying so very hard to persuade their old enemies that they are not villainous anymore 

friends who’ve grown unhealthily attached to each other keep putting off an inevitable goodbye 

overachieving classmates who barely know each other and have no intention of furthering their relationship, but they enjoy working together because they make a great team 

adoration between villains and their henchpeople 

feel free to add on as many as you please

funniest orv scene maybe is jhw finally not having to work within the good/evil morality restrictions and instead getting to execute people based off of who the groupchat thinks should die

Traveller: I don't think there'll ever be anyone as annoying as Childe in Teyvat.

Traveller: (watches the 2.0 Inazuma trailer)

Childe: Prepare for trouble

Tohma: And make it double!

one of the most powerful messages orv has tbh is "your self-loathing behavior badly hurts other people who want to care for you." a lot of depictions of depression, suicidality, issues with self-esteem, etc. focus near-exclusively on the person who suffers from them, which is understandable, but I love that orv is commited to showing how SELFISH kdj's behavior can be. he tends to trample over other people's desperate wishes to connect to him and love him because he doesn't think he's worthy of it, and it ends up being some of the worst pain those people have ever experienced when he won't let them reach him! he's of course a sympathetic character but he still has this horrible habit of disregarding other people's emotions in ways that are unintentionally awfully cruel!

like idk i don't think anything's ever put a silver bullet through a martyr complex quite like the message of "you hurt people SO MUCH WORSE by harming & isolating yourself than any pain you could potentially cause them by sharing your burdens with them." it's realistic and kind while still being the brick upside the head some people need to snap em out of it lmao
