connections ( taken from here )
family connections ;;
—— siblings that are close ;; pretty basic, the type of siblings that are best friends. they confide in each other more then anyone else.
—— siblings that don’t get along ;; again basic, the siblings that are always bickering or fighting about something whether it be who gets what for breakfast or time in the bathroom. you could even go as far as having them resent each other.
—— step siblings ;; could swing the same way as the sibling connections about, either getting alone or resenting each other. you could even have them be sexually/romantically attracted to each other or previously involved if their parents married later in life.
—— cousins that are more like siblings ;; cousins that act more like they’ve grown up together and are attached at the hip.
—— cousins that aren’t close ;; cousins that often forget are even related.
friendship connections ;;
—— best friends ;; a partner in crime, the ying to the yang. the pair or more that are typically attached by the hip, consult each other, and couldn’t live without one another.
—— bad influence ;; best friends who constantly encourage each other to do bad things (drugs/partying/cheating/etc).
—— good influence ;; best friend who look out for each other and often act as a conscience to each other.
—— family friends ;; friends who met through family, could either be close or it be an awkward situation because they don’t really get along or know each other well.
—— childhood friends ;; friends since the diaper days, could be a brother/sister or sister/sister type connection.
—— friends with lingering feelings ;; self explanatory, friends where either one or both have some kind of romantic feelings that pass more then just friends.
—— friendzoned ;; dun dun duh, a friend who wanted to be something more but was denied.
—— partying buddies ;; a friendship that relies on nothing more then alcohol, drugs, going out and having a wild time. you could add more to this by having them occasionally hook up with intoxicated or something like that.
—— confident/cornerstone ;; someone who acts as a shoulder to lean on and someone to vent to.
enemy connections ;;
—— frienemies ;; they’re nice to each others faces and act like friends but are constantly talking badly about each other.
—— friends turned enemies ;; a pair of people who were friends up until a certain point, but either realized they never really liked each other or one just dropped the other.
—— enemies because of a friend ;; a friend is the enemy of said person there for they also consider them an enemy (idk if that makes sense??).
—— enemies because of a boy/girl ;; the two are fighting for the affection/attention of the same person.
—— competition/rivals ;; the two are always in competition whether it be over grades, athletics, or attention
current romantic connections ;;
—— friends with benefits ;; friends who hook up and either have or haven’t blurred the lines between the physical and emotional connection.
—— relationship on the rocks ;; a relationship that if falling apart at the seams, the spark is gone but they just haven’t cut the cord.
—— mutual crushes ;; either they both have feelings for each other that is p obvious but aren’t ready to take the next step. or it can be one sided or both could be completely oblivious to the other liking them.
—— secret relationship ;; a relationship kept on the down low because of whatever reason.
—— one night stand ;; pretty straight forward. could have been a in the moment thing, alcohol could have been involved. they could either be acting as if it didn’t happen, or completely awkward around each other because of it.
—— casual hook up ;; they aren’t friends, but will call each other whenever they need a lil sexual intercourse. basically like a booty call.
—— will they, won’t they ;; a pair of friends or maybe not friends who constantly flirt and act like a couple but it’s teetering on a cliff on whether or not they’ll take that step.
—— on again, off again ;; (ariana’s voice) make up, break up, total waste of time. this is basically a couple that you’d get whiplash from on whether or not they are together.
—— fling ;; an in the moment type thing where both know it’s not going to last or go past a certain point. maybe like a rebound. plot twist one actually catches some heavy duty feelings.
past romantic connections ;;
—— exes that ended good terms ;; a pair of exes that were on the same page when they broke up and have remained good friends and supportive of each other moving on/forward.
—— exes that ended on bad terms ;; a pair of exes that were 10/10 not on the same page and it’s all animosity between them and hate and aNGST. maybe one cheated, or just thought their shit didn’t stink and bailed with no explanation. the skies the limit for this.
—— exes that still hook up ;; a pair of exes that broke up but there is still that lingering sexual chemistry between them so the most talking they do know is without their clothes on.
—— exes with lingering feelings ;; exes that broke up but still have feelings towards each other and can’t help but feel jealous/hurt seeing the other with someone else.
—— ex friends with benefits ;; they thought they had it, but in the end it didn’t work. could be because deeper feelings got involved, a relationship started with someone else, fighting, etc.
—— ex affair ;; basically they were the cheater or the other woman/man but it ended for whatever reason.
—— first loves ;; they started dating when they were younger and were each others first serious relationship. that person that will always have that place no matter what.
acquaintance connections ;;
—— study buddy ;; people who only hang out/talk while studying in the library, they could get along, they couldn’t, who knows.
—— teammates ;; on the same team during school, or maybe as an extra curricular.
—— lab partners ;; p basic, they were partnered up to work on assignments/labs either they get along or don’t or maybe feelings hMM??
—— tutor ;; basically the same as lab partners except tutoring.
