If love doesn't come with explosives, I don't want it.

MY IDEA OF ROMANCE

It’s like a Rorschach test for romance (and disasters!)

HOW TO PLAY
- Comment with your character. But don’t leave that comment blank!
- Expose their idea of romance/a romantic gesture. What’s that consist of? Roses? Champagne? Protection from all threats? A dead body or two for…scientific research given without question?
- Enjoy those replies. Read the room. Do other characters think you’re sappy? Probably! Maybe it’s the opposite, though, and they line up to simp.
- See? Proof that romance isn't dead.

That funny feeling in your stomach when you see that person you love~love.

You sure you aren't just hungry?

Piccolo 🥒 Dragon Ball

[postboy]

Confusing. A waste of time.

[aetherialshackles]

Right? It's very confusing and it seems almost unnecessary when one can focus on their job instead.

[postboy]

Job, training, some greater goal.

[saudadist]

[ Way to be a boring old man about it, Piccolo. ]

It's not that confusing. You care about each other and sleep in the same place.

[postboy]

[ Excuse you he is eternally young. And more eww cooties about it anyway. ]

Oh come on, even I know there's more to it than than…

Blackbeard | Our Flag Means Death

[treading_water]

You burn a ship full of people who were dicks to me alive and then say something nice about me under the full moon.

[bountyfull]

Is the murder part really THAT romantic?

[treading_water]

It's chivalrous.

[eumenis]

Something nice.

...Like what? [This makes less sense to her than the murder part, which should be worrisome; however, let us also ignore the part where she's never seen an ocean and is probably picturing a ship sitting flat in the sand, on fire.]

[treading_water]

There's a lot to unpack if I think about it too long, actually.

[starfreckles]

There's a certain kind of validation when somebody agrees with your about those that have wronged you...even if I'm not sure about the possible murder...I get the rest of it.

[treading_water]

Well technically the fire killed those guys, so.

[shitbirdistheword]

[I think this icon speaks for him alone cause HOLY FUCK.]

Furiosa / Mad Max: Fury Road

[eumenis]

Remnants from the Old World. That kind of thing is more likely to get you killed than get you anything good.

...But I kissed a girl once, and her lips tasted like peach wine. Seven thousand days and I never forgot that.

[starfreckles]

I can't argue with you there. As many songs about wayward love as there is joyful love...and in the end there is the tragedy that even dying of old age may have you die on a different day than the one you love...

Ben Paul | Telltale's The Walking Dead

[shitbirdistheword]

I-I guess a box of chocolates and flowers?

[mumbling under his breath afterwards] Just something nice to let me know I'm not a complete screw-up...

[aetherialshackles]

I don't exactly know how chocolate and flowers convey romance but...

[He doesn lean a little closer, trying to offer a supportive smile.] Everyone has something good to offer to the world, you can't be a complete screw up.

Mizuki | DRAMAtical Murder | OTA

[blacked_out]

Hmmm. Let me make them food while wearing a cute apron? As part of a quiet date indoors, just me and them. With maybe some champagne or beer on hand while watching the stars on the roof afterward, is really a nice thought.

And maybe let me use their lap as a pillow. Or my lap, theirs.

[There's more to this, but that's not for children to overhear!]

[shivmeabreak]

You really know how to treat a partner right. That sounds like the perfect traditional sweet date all around - something for just about everybody!

Rose | Tales of Zestiria

[shivmeabreak]

A bouquet of roses and the heads of their enemies. [She's kidding. Hopefully.] Oh, and a knife that's part of a pair so we'll match!

[windsongs]

[ Rose???? ]

You know, I'm not one to judge people on what they're into, but isn't that a little... [ A long pause-- ] Unsanitary?

[ Because that's clearly what came to mind first. Yep. ]

[yandeere]

Spending one's final moments in the arms of their lover is the definition of romance. Just as long as they don't come back...

It makes thing quite awkward.

Love is... patience, understanding, a little bit of physical attraction, the ability to have intellectual conversations... and the willingness to utterly destroy people who have been stupid enough to harm your lover.
