Danny Phantom Randomness (Love Is Universal)

Ok, so I usually avoid the topic of ships to avoid potential drama and shipping wars, but today I’m going to make an exception to share a positive message. Now personally, when it comes to romantic subplots in a story, be it in a book, show, game, or film, there are some important factors I look for:

That a characters personality, their interests, their normal behavior, and their ability to make their own choices are NOT sacrificed purely for the sake of plot. I really hate that because it does stupid things to really good characters and feels our of place and forced. They are allowed to be people at the end of the day with a will of their own that doesn’t revolve around the romance, they are allowed to have a life and make their own choices based on their personal moral code.

If you’re going to add a romantic subplot to a story at all, don’t just make them awkwardly blush at each other all the time to show us that. It’s boring and feels forced. Give them actual reasons to like each other, like something they did in the past or are doing now, their personality, something to give us a real reason to want to see them spend time together. Show us why they get along and how they deal with disagreements like anyone in a healthy relationship does.

There doesn’t always have to be a romantic rival. Sometimes the thing in the way of their relationship growing could be from a lack of confidence or some past heartache or the fear of being rejected, even the plot itself actively keeping them apart either literally or because they have bigger things to worry about.

I get there sometimes not being a good time to bring up their feelings for each other, but I get so annoyed when we’re constantly being strung along the “will they won’t they get together” route which let’s face it, doesn’t mean much these days since 99.9% of the time they do end up together in the end. But when it’s done like this it just gets in the way of the  ACTUAL main plot of the story. It gets really tiring and feels like nothing but filler. Just let things come up naturally or in a more believable way in an emotional situation or when they realize for themselves how they actually feel about one another. Don’t tell us, show us!

Be ok with the fact that not everyone even wants to be in a relationship. I know people say that “the worse thing they can say is no” which yeah, is never easy to deal with. But loving someone also means respecting their boundaries. And while it’s ok to hold out hope and try again at a better time, don’t think they owe you anything or that you owe them anything. We’re all individuals, and if you can’t even stay friends, then how did you expect a more serious relationship to last?

Once you finish getting these characters together, let them BE together. Don’t waste all their hard work once they’ve actually earned their happy ending to separate them in the next season for easy drama points. There are other things you can do besides make them miserable together or make them break up to strain a relationship, and again, keep it within reason for the romantic subplot and not the main focus because that just takes away from the other cool stuff we want to see like cool fight scenes or fantastic new places, I dunno it all depends on the story being told.

In general, don’t force a specific type of pairing without establishing what someone is into as a part of WHO they are. I have absolutely no problem with LGBTQ couples, especially when it’s written well and these characters have cute and natural chemistry. But don’t just suddenly come out as that out of the blue and derail that whole character and treat that as a twist. It’s a serious problem if a version of these characters already exists too that already is one orientation or another as canon. Like, if you want to pair two guys or two girls, make new characters, don’t force that on existing ones (IMPORTANT NOTE: This is only for Remakes of something that was already made before mind you since that’s an established part of their character already, otherwise feel free to go nuts with your own fanfics and have fun!!!)

If they have certain people they like, draw attention to that in natural ways like a flirty comment about how someone looks, a soft smile when their crush walks into the room, the quiet contentment of just being in the same room as them and enjoying their presence or missing them while they’re gone, wondering if they’re doing alright because that’s what it means to care about someone.

Don’t exaggerate their orientation as their ONLY character trait, in the end we’re all human beings and that’s what makes us beautiful in our own special way as well as how we treat each other with kindness, respect, and even when we disagree, quick to forgive each other because none of us are perfect. We are GOING to make mistakes from time to time, so a sign of a healthy relationship is not to be selfish, not to unjustly blame the other person without accepting your own share of mistakes too, and not expect them to apologize first. There are always exceptions of course but that’s a case by case situation.

NEVER EVER let someone change who you are to cater to them, to their ideal, because it’s one thing to make compromises out of mutual love and respect for one another, it’s another to be controlling and manipulative. If you notice your relationship is toxic, then get out of it, you deserve better. Don’t ever let someone trap you with false flattery and promises to “never do it again” because sadly it’s almost always a lie to keep you complacent.

And finally, like I said just let these characters be friends. It doesn’t always have to be lovey-dovey, sometimes the best moments are just sitting together watching a movie or going shopping, you know, mundane things that normal people do. Your partner is meant to be your best friend, not a trophy to show off, and simply getting to spend time with them should be what matters the most. Let them be themselves. That’s what we’re there to see, something we can relate to that feels earned.

@mightydragoon​ I really got a kick out of your tags which is why I wrote this post. I like Sam but they way they wrote her character really bugs me, especially when it comes to her relationship with Danny. That’s why I love the phandom, I have seen them create some AMAZING pairings I never would have thought of. I’ll always be a bigger fan of Valerie, but that’s because I personally think she was written better and you can actually SEE her progression as a character. But Sam and Tucker never really change much in my opinion. Danny does of course but he’s the main character so it’s a given, and even then Season 3 really screwed them up, Danny especially when he does thing out of character with his own friends or vice versa.

So yeah, hopefully this post will be seen in a positive light as intended but if not I’ll just delete and block any unnecessarily unkind comments. Because that just shows they can’t even be civil to a total stranger. Like I said, I am all about enjoying a story for a good plot and when it treats its characters as people with free will, so it bothers me when tropes are used in such a way that takes that away from them, especially in the romance department. And Danny Phantom did that which isn’t my fault, I don’t own the rights, so if you want to blame anyone, blame Butch.

I’m just here to say what parts of the series were good or at least had potential and what parts ARE good now purely because I’ve seen plenty of other talented phans out there do a much better job helping everyone find someone to be with with their personal takes on these characters! And none of that changes the original canon so there’s no harm in it.

...el amor es como el alcohol.

Lo pruebas, te hace sentir que tu cabeza da vueltas, quieres probarlo una y otra vez.

Después te hará resaca, te sentirás tan mal que jurarás no volver a probarlo.

Pero cuando te ponen el próximo vaso enfrente, no podrás decir que no

Love you all!

i love the idea of Dean working up the courage to tell Cas he loves him so he practices the phrase in different languages until the words are comfortable enough on his tongue to say in English so he finally says it.. and Cas replies in Spanish and Italian and Finnish and— apparently Cas had heard him practicing so he already knew what Dean was going to say but hearing Cas loves him back is everything even if Dean doesn't understand these new words he understands their meaning and this becomes their thing: saying they love each other in different languages because love is universal
