recently I've had a return to (childhood) form where I've been making an excessive amount of ocs for 1 fantasy world. and I mean 60+ characters, like a gacha game or something, so of course I start throwing pairings at a wall to see if anything sticks. in true fandom fashion most of the m/m feels shallow, the f/f is a goldmine, and the m/f that's canon is really good. but, I'm genuinely baffled at how hard it is to make m/m not boring asf. this one poor bastard named renaldi has had 3 potential boyfriends who each wound up getting paired with women/demi-women bc the vibe was off.

at this point fumbling and being lonely seems like a part of his character and I feel bad that I actually want this for him. RIP king.
