*nod*

I see. My favorite romantic subplot personally for "good character development along the way" is Dannyx Valerie in Danny Phantom. I don't know if it was just me or...they seemed so natural evolving in their opinions of one another, and maybe it was the fact that Danny only ever seemed to develop in character with Val (in comparison to his s3 relationship with Sam-and hell sometimes s2-where he was made dumb to make Sam(pulled back in characterization) right, and the right answer always seemed to be "Sam is right") . But their sort of relationship is the kind I always aspire to.

Yeah I get that, I hate when a character is made dumb or a jerk so the other character can be right personally, or when their personal issues and concerns are ignored. (*sighs* Butch Hartman seems to do this a lot *sighs*)

Also out of curiosity about the "friends turned into romantic /love interests" What is it that you hate? Just the situation, or situations where the story seems to say "romance is better than friendship". I'm asking because I have a situation like that, except the evolution of 'friend to love interest' is treated more like "maybe this wasn't the best decision for them" and causes a bit of conflict because of the natural contrast of their personalities.

Hope you don't mind my stupid questions and DP related ranting.

It's been quite sometime since I've watched Danny Phantom and I don't think I caught the later seasons, but the way you describe it sounds agreeable.

Well, with friends turning into romantic relationships, it's frustrating going in that the prominent male and female characters will probably be endgame and knowing the friendships eventually just a stepping stone for the relationship to be endgame. There's definitely the whole romance is better than friendship angle too. But it's mostly me getting tired of having really good friendships predictably getting turned into kinda forced romantic ones, when perhaps something less predictable might bode better for a romantic relationship. I'm just tired the friendship turning into a romantic relationship as the only possible outcome rather than a possible outcome that depends on the characters involved and how it contributes to the story.

I definitely like the idea of friends dating and it isn't treated as the best decision for them.

And not at all. I enjoy your thoughts. :)

The Danny x Val was some of the best stuff in the whole show IMO. It made em actually CARE if these to got together or not, and usually I don't. (they didn't sadly, but I like to believe they will eventually. IMO Danny and Sam aren't going to last)

I try to avoid the 'romance is better than friendship' as of lately. Because I do enjoy myself some good friendships. In the one case of the two I have ending up together, it's partly due to outside elements as well, and rushed. A little bit later their natural personalities clash a LOT. It's just a big deconstruction of "childhood friends get together". The big point being "it doesn't always end in a fairytale way".

I can see why you're tired of it only ending up that way. I'm really keeping that in mind in the planning of my other stuff. I think the only reason the two mains in my current work are together is that its one of the big things that carried over from old plans. I figured I could mix it up a bit and make it deconstruct the old 'high school sweetheart trope' and point out problems with it.

Thank you.
