ALYCE. AGAIN
hear me out.
sometimes when i hear ppl around me complain about how much they want a bf/gf/partner in general i often want to ask, "why exactly?"
because a lot of the time, at the core, people want a s/o to address some other thing in their life they want fulfilled. like it's more of just wanting companionship, someone to connect to, wishing to feel less lonely etc
i feel like this is worth thinking about bc often people will get into a relationship thinking it will solve this core issue they have, and when it doesn't it catches them off guard. like ur s/o is there to improve your overall quality of life, not solve your life problems for u--that's smth u need to work on urself. yes it will suck. but it will be worth it bc ull be a more well-rounded person!
i used to kinda wish i had a relationship myself, but as i met more ppl and made more friends that feeling went away and i realised i was really content with just my platonic relationships. bc at the root i really just wanted people i could truly connect to, people i could chat up whenever. and i got that when i built a good network of friends.
you don't need a romantic relationship to be happy. it's better to try to address these needs first instead of throwing it all upon the hypothetical partner to solve.
i think about this whenever i have that "i want a relationship" feeling again.

my number one tip for oc design is to get so obsessed you draw them 200 times over the course of two months. then whichever details you consistently forget/simplify? retcon em. boom. effective memorable character design. works every time.
