Be sure not to push emphasis on female being sexually oppressed though, I haven't seen a case so far, but a preemptive warning should be fine right?
In fact, it's the reason I... gender flip it in ST, with a Chekhov's gunman OC being important to unravel a main character backstory AND giving a message or two, despite only appearing twice, and only briefly in one case. I just know someone will call "Pussy", but I still have my middle fingers intact.

An observer can see something the player do from different perspective. My relationship is... to put it simply, dull. Maybe they're right about "In reality, childhood friend romance just don't work" but "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" was my usual answer.
Remember the difference between 3rd POV and 1st POV?

Yeah I do. It's making my writing a b**** to work out.
I can only try to imagine the circumstances. But the actual... I feel quite unconfident. EDIT: my relationships with girls equal me quivering in a corner denying knowing girl whom I like as everyone from my parents to my friends and their distant extended family tease and interrogate me about her. Needless to say I've never been in a relationship. Last edited by demino_hellsin; 2013-04-07 at 11:47. |

It's challenging, I'll admit.
Unlike other anime romance I've seen, Inami and Tsurugi never really held any childhood promise to marry each other. They just spend time with each other, one goes MIA for five years, the other gets shit thrown at her sometime during the five years. To put it simply, both of them just want to live with each other again like they used to. All while learning to accept the fact that they need to bear bigger responsibilities unlike before (upholding family name/honor, inherit fortunes) if they're going to make their wishes come true. All these while having a backdrop of IS Academy studies (Tsurugi) and terrorist drones deterrence (Inami). Female oppression is merely implied during the story but none actually went through. The two characters that were implied to have experienced such (Tsurugi and Kirin) both managed to fend for themselves somehow and prevented it from happening.

I was in a mountainous region once. I regret not jumping *sigh*
Dating my cousin huh? Can't imagine. All the women of my family have something about them that give me the willies. It's not even the trained instinct of knowing they are family. There's really at least one trait about each of them that genuinely scares me haha. What I hate about third person writing is how difficult it is to get into a character's head without giving away too much and making the flow unnatural or boring exposition. EDIT: I once asked a friend about their relationship, he gave me the stinkeye. I asked another. He broke down crying. The third I asked just shrugged and said it's kinda like work. Another was happy to "be free at last" or something though I think he's not over it. But I digress. |

I think the image is funny, if you write that as OOC humor rather than serious characterization.

Communication is the key for any relationship. Any type of it, even visual communication affects it. I can't say much since I'm currently in my first relationship in my life. But communication is definitely important.
There's no need for a tragic backstory or tragic event to drive two characters into a relationship. The only need to click, insert a scenario where two characters would need each other's support, remove any possible channel of communication between the two. Then you get to work how the drama between them unfolds when they can finally communicate again. That's my 2 cents.

There's a big difference between 'heavily implied' and 'thrown at the reader's face' y'now.
As long as nothing really explicit actually shown, there should be no problem at all. I write an incest rape story for God's sake

If you'd notice a long ass scene I posted in the previous page, interactions between Inami and Tsurugi is prolly going to be centered around marital drama.

Purged by mustache twirling mod, FF.Net is increasingly pissing off the minorities.
Apparently a significant number Fanfiction in the archive are banished to kingdom come due to risky content. (That's like, 80 thousand fanfiction? I've heard rumor that it's actually closer to 115 thousand)
