How To Create Believable Character Friendships 

True that!

The last one hit me hard..

Hard to be afraid of debt when there's no interest.

el_nachis_wapete_69.pishacorta I'm sure I agree, but prefer to speak in less broad terms when it comes to advising others.

@@CharacterDesignForge "My Hero Anime" .... " Bakugo and Deku"

What I do is I lure them into an area and them surround them with holes so they can't out. They just have this one small 4 by 4 space to move around in and if possible, I make that area even smaller. I call it prison and they get put in prison if they ever anger me. Ngl those are some of my favortie Animal Crossing moments.

Kinley Handersen lol

This man just taught me Life lessons, I am now a God among men >:)

And that my _friends_ is my proof on why animal crossing is a sandbox game

*needs rare fish and bugs that never show up to complete the museum* *my house and town features cost 8374939264937 bells* *can't unlock the DIY projects I want without obsessively visiting my villagers houses 24/7 to see when they're crafting and also Celeste is never there when I play* *the furniture i want is never in the store* *can't get all the fruits or different colored town decorations bc I don't have friends* *crazy redd ripped me off*

Ness Of Onett opposites attract

Two of my secondary characters met in a similar way. They lived as neighbours as kids and while one of them (Hali) always liked to play by the beach the other (Dysmas) got dragged along. Dysmas didn't know that Hali always looked up to Dysmas for his intellect and Hali didn't know that Dysmas envied him for his bold grasp on life. It takes a while for them to become friends.

do they have anything in common?

Sounds like me and Michael

Alexander and Burr?

@@nqme2861 Same😂

Oh man, how can you not?

I actually understand the frustrations twp of my characters have with eachother _So i just silently watch, waiting for them to work it out_

It honestly gets insufferable after a while if characters do not talk about their issues and dance around it for too long Unfourtunately, from a writing standpoint, its a very convenient way to create conflict or maintain the direction of the plot 😂 but agghhh it's not nice

Literally the entire plot of Miraculous

SapsDrow Havent seen much of it so can't speak to that, but sure

All of those are horrible people with damaging and manipulative friendships. Sounds like all of my friendships ;_;

I love "friends" !!! Best entertaining show ever!

@@jinnahyun5387 My friends: *casually beating each other up*

Does imaginary friends count?

listen up YES! Compared to the remake where they instantly become "friends" and never interact again? I almost used that contrasting example.

I would love to see R&C OG get just a visual overhaul. New textures and that's basically it. Then that game would've been a brilliant masterpiece.

😉

@@CharacterDesignForge ahahahh pretty clever..

If it's way too simple of a misunderstanding, yeah. Can be pretty contrived.

That was honestly my main gripe with Mike and Eleven in Stranger Things 3.

I have to agree I hate that a lot of my plots in the past have relied on people just not communicating well enough to resolve the conflict I want to find other ways to keep the conflict alive and the plot consistent without resorting to.... yuck

Pol Subanajouy if you include it, use it like a garnish on an otherwise well developed friendship, Not the only morsel!

But of course! I actually think I might not even use the elevator scene in the story, but I see it having value just getting the tone of a friendship between new characters. You know, break it in like a new set of shoes.

Pol Subanajouy I like that a lot!

Animal Crossing is a good game, a game not designed to be a story, and thus you shouldn't use it as an example of a story although it's a good game

@@omargerardolopez3294 👍

That is an interesting writing tool, starting off with characters that already have some relationships or a buddy. I do that quite a bit too. The problem that tends to arise for me though is that said characters, if used in the same rp, end up sort of interacting with eachother more than the other people or person's characters, and it becomes a little like rping with myself.

agreed!

Haha what Friendship?

True! It's a little confusing to write for, and if used in rps can confuse other players as to the true personality of the character. But I feel it makes the character more intriguing and more realistic at the same time. They become a bit of a riddle to solve

A lot of the lessons in life are applicable to writing, and vice versa.

Waddle Derp are you going to realese that game ?

Waddle Derp seems like you have the right idea, like almost all "is this a good idea" questions it really comes down to the execution!

Waddle Derp just make sure they are entertaining/well written. and that each character has an aspect that is relatable to the audience. ive seen shows where the main character is the bland marysue leader type and the best friend is crazy, boisterous and very entertaining and i always prefere the latter (e.g. Carly and Sam from Icarly). but you can have shows where both of the characters are very entertaining, dispite being opposites - (ren and stimpy) its all about execution.

Even if they are opposites they must have some things in common, so the real question is probably HOW you can make it work. :) And if you spend a lot of time with someone who's your polar opposite you'll likely develop a bond, so maybe the friendship can grow over a really long time?

Well, it does sound like a good idea. Then again, basically every idea sounds good, it just depends on how you execute it (for example, the idea of sparkling vampires sounds good if you execute it with a guilloutine). But the real question is: What do you mean by "opposite"? Like, do they have opposite abbilities, personalities, goals, or something else. Also, you should try avoiding making them opposite in every way (actually, it´s much harder to pull it off that they are opposite in any way, but still), so there´s at least something they can bond over. Like, maybe they have a common enemy, but oposite ideas of how to deal with him (a.k.a. kill vs. reform, for example).

BWHAHHAH All friendships are unique! Sometimes an unconditional friendship can be very charming in a story as well ^^

maybe it could work, if the friendly one is aware of how the other is feeling but unsure of how to confront him/her about it, but also that the friendly one would feel bad if the other was left all on their own (because the hateful one have something be it of birth, personality or unfortunante event that makes people avoid him/her) this is just personal speculations on how it could work (also have the friendly one see some good traits about the other along the way)

rosie x Moments later, and for the remainder of the film, Anakin angsts about how much Obi-Wan cramps his style. You're free to have your opinion and just realize it was a joke. Enjoyment=/Quality 100% of the time.

Brookes Eggleston - Character Design Forge If you watch Revenge of the Sith you will see their friendship at its fullest before Anakin turns into Vader. Attack of the Clones was awkward teenage Anakin and you can hardly judge him for being awkward. I bet you were no Casanova when you were 19. You might find it funny to rip on the Prequels but it gets _very_ tiring having to see it all the time. My enjoyment of it may not mean it's the best, but your dislike for it doesn't mean it's the worst thing either.

Brookes Eggleston - Character Design Forge I'm sorry if I seem harsh but you clearly don't know anything about their friendship dynamic at all.

The clone wars shows would be a better example of their friendship

Anakin doesn't like that Obi-Wan puts him on blast, but he still goes to rescue him. I think the elevator scene opens that way because that's how it was in A New Hope. They referenced their history. Throughout the first act of the film, you get a good sense they know each other really well; to the point they're oversaturated in each other's company. I think to that end they're a bit more fleshed out than Han and Chewie. You can easily imagine how Obi-Wan or Anakin would react to different situations in each other's company, because they're well rounded individual characters with good chemistry, but Han and Chewie react in conjunction with one another, so are a bit more static in each of their respective movies, despite clearly progressing off screen between movies. Han yells at Chewie when he gets scared or messes up, but do you ever get any idea what they think of each other? Ani and Obi joke with each other, step on each others toes, take stabs at each other's sense of pride, and challenge each other's views; which foreshadows their confrontation later on. I get it's a humorous slight, but nobody ever jokes at the original trilogy's expense. Just saying. The relentless prejudice against the prequels is a problem more and more people are getting tired of dealing with.

+Alannah One of the greats!

And?

I mean just because it’s not a story doesn’t mean it’s a bad game
