RIGHT!! Like, the whole love triangle in the hunger games was completely pointless to the main story, so imo it shouldn't have been in there. I'm okay with romance if it feels natural and right with the story but most of the time I'm just like "eh." Just not my cup of tea, I guess. (That's why I didn't completely put Luna and Grey together in FY, though looking back I think I could have made it official and it would have been fine :P) I find platonic and familial relationships far more interesting! I'm glad other people have different interests than me though or otherwise fiction would be SO BORING.

I imagine stuff about characters all the time -- but like you I never write them out xD A lot of the time it's because I know it'd never work or the characterization is terrible because it's just for fun.

I should replay Guardian Signs...I only played it once ;; As much as I loved SoA GS deserves more of a chance aha

Yes, and yes, and - I'm actually more of a BFF >>>>> OTP person as well, in the way that I... somehow feel that friendship is a higher form of love? xD THAT SOUNDED TOTALLY NAIVE but Idk, it kinda makes sense in a way that the rewards YOU get from a friendship is less... obvious than from a romantic relationship, so that sort of makes it "nobler"... in fictions anyway ;ww;

That, and I don't trust Eros(the sexual love) and Amor(the romantic love) in real life. I think couples need more than that kind of love to survive a long-term relationship. But you're right, different interests enrich fiction and its genres for all of us :'D

I would've replayed GS, so that I could play as Summer if not anything, but I didn't want to lose my WiFi missions that I could never play x'D If I can play games again in the future I shall get a used copy ;u;

YES!! I hate it when people say 'just friends' (I mean, I'm guilty of it too) but it implies that being friends is a lesser type of relationship when I think friendship should be treasured as its own equal level of relationship. Just because a lot of friendships develop into romance doesn't mean they get 'better', it just means they change into a different type of relationship o: What I like about the PMD series is just how much it values friendship, which of course will be a big part of my story if I get to make it happen :D

oMG I KNOW

I know that "just friends"/"more than just friends"/yadda is an expression so there's only a few things that could be done, but I don't agree at all with what that expression implies ;c Everything you just said, basically. :D
