Sometimes you are trying to figure out something interesting for backstory or a plot and you just can’t figure it out with the two characters. Or you can, but its hard to explain what’s interesting about it. This is a meme meant to function as a conversation starter, providing building blocks of a relationship between two characters. Send them to people you haven’t gotten to interact with much, and get creative with them, think outside of the box. You never know what you’ll come up with. Some are trope plots others are statements indicative of a moment or experience with the other character.
