I've been seeing this ship dynamics meme going around lately and I'm curious to see which ones other people like! Any ship dynamic is allowed here
Here are four of my own favorites
-opposites attract that somehow become friends and slowly start to realize they may like each other but are too stubborn to admit it
-Quiet × Dumbass. Basically serious x goofy idiot like I saw someone mention.
-Partners in crime that talk shit to each other but in a loving/teasing way and not a toxic way.
-comic relief best friend waiting for their dumbass protagonist best friend to realize the love interest doesn't like them please I'm right here kiss me instead.
//Chaotic dumbass x dumbass, gotta love the situations they be in.
//Rivals to sweethearts, slowmance haha.
//I don't think I've seen this one much but I really wanna see one where the evil people, specifically the main villain/antagonist x one loyal henchman but slowburn y'know- and also not like those villain/villainess transmigrated/reborn/isekai type, rather hard to explain tho.
//Tall people, a plus if they're childhood friends or so.
shy, introverts x the popular kid. its just so nice watching a soft shy character slowly come out of their shell & push themselves to be better cuz the one they love is best, & watching the one they love fall for them its so cute!! best example i can think of is honey lemon soda it's such a nice read
"bad boi" x normal? girl like, the cold types that are low key thugs (bonus points if they are skilled in a trade or somm) & your typical hs student who's got friends ain't that bad looking (bonus points if they'er short) that's smart & seems to be able to make friends with almost anyone, just kinda falling in love cuz the other wont leave the thug alone.
finally getting to confess after falling in love in middle school but one moved away
exgangster house dad. its the best most wholesome form of gender role revers & no one can change my mind. theres something about a guy who used to illegally run half the city reduced to cooking some of the best pancakes you've ever ate thats just so great to me
literal/figurative monsters x normal person cuz who doesn't love a good redemption story?
oop man my comment tastes like shojo
enemies/rivals to lovers, opposites attract, height differences (bonus if the short one is chaotic but calms down around the other), 'bad' boy/girl/person and the only person they're soft around, and two idiots, one braincell. all are very good tropes and i will cherish them with my life :)
Literally any variation of smol + tol. Height differences are my absolute favourite thing, especially when one of the characters is a feral bastard. A small character being engulfed by their lover's arms will always make my heart melt
Terminally angry ball of toxic rage with a sad backstory and his extroverted boyfriend who is a bit too obsessed with improving onesself without anyone's help (basically, they have the attitude that you can do anything if you just try hard enough and needing help from others is pointless). The former learns to be less angry and heal from their trauma, and the latter heals from their toxic attitude that if you can't fix your life with zero help from others you just didn't want it hard enough.
This is the dynamic of my two characters Farron (extrovert) and Max (fluffy ball of rage) and I love it because unlike a lot of shipping dynamics where there's clearly "broken person" and "good person" and the latter heals the former, these two heal each other instead of one just shouldering the emotional burden and "fixing" the other while the other does nothing to benefit them. Wow that was painfully wordy lmao
the dumbass x the serious
my oc is literally willing to jump in a pit full of cobra's and my friend's oc would be like ''yep, that's basil'' with sighing loudly
Idiot x Idiot
Friends to lovers, especially if the friends knew each other for a super long time and/or go through some tough situation.
Sweet character x Grumpy character
The two weirdly really romantic characters who are in some weird...Vague relationship. Nobody knows exactly if the characters are dating.
Energetic character x Literally any other character type.
dark/light feminine (this trope rules my life lol)
dumbasses in love
rivals to lovers
style gaps. usually, a fashionable person with someone who doesn't abt. fashion, but also goth/girly etc
hero/villain
i too thirst for enemies to lovers,, but especially the variant where it's best friends to enemies to reluctant friends to lovers. something just hits different about pals who betray each other and then end up falling in love
aloof x affectionate characters
best friends who are 1cm away from being lovers
chill laid-back x very serious character
