● SOULMATES. Holy shit I love soulmates!! I kind of like the idea of "if you touch your soulmate's hand, you both get a pattern that matches (or represents the other person)" or something like that, but there are so many different and amazing soulmate AUs, so anything would be fun here! Characters that don't fit well together being soulmates and having to deal with that, characters who love each other but are hesitant to see if they're actually soulmates... Playing with the idea that the nobility marries not for love but for power/position/money/etc and so they always wear gloves so as not to find their soulmates... shit like that!! I am so here to build our own soulmate AU for any pairing!!
● Soulmates v2: no soul??? Every time you see the soulmates trope, it's the ship characters being soulmates. Well what if we reverse that - the characters we're shipping aren't soulmates and they're trying to make it in this world where their "real" partner is out there somewhere?? There could be all sorts of drama with this, it could be a lot of fun! (Bonus points for playing the other characters' soulmates?? So like if you're A and I'm B, then you'd play B's soulmate and I'd play A's, though that's obviously not necessary and they can be NPC'd if you're down for that!!)
● Soulmates v3: now it's enemies to lovers. LISTEN... I LOVE THIS TROPE... and dealing with the pressure of "oh you're soulmates, you must love each other!" while they DON'T is just really fucking funny, this would be so dumb. I am absolutely here for it going romantic eventually or just playing around with it being Stupid.
● Hanahaki Disease! You know, that thing where a person coughs up flower petals because of unrequited love. You can either have that removed (along with the feelings) because idk magic, or you can just fuckin die, either are great options!! Or you could confess your feelings and maybe that'd help or something w/e. Anyway, I love this stupid trope and think it could be fun to play around with for a shorter thread, but also consider the following: Claude watching Lorenz hack up flower petals being like "I didn't realize you were eating your roses lmao" and Lorenz just fucking decks him. It'd be perfect. I do not accept criticism on my shitposts.
● Fake dating! Goddamn do I love this trope too. I think we could probably set this up with a noble character trying to escape an arranged marriage or their parents trying to arrange one or something! Basically two characters agree to "date" for whatever reason and then in time end up finding feelings. Kiiinda what we're doing with Dorothea and Hubert already but like, More. Gimme this shit, I am so here for it.
● Other canon AUs! Did I already mention this one... I don't remember. But things like Pokemon AUs or putting the characters in a completely different setting is always fun!! I feel like I'm missing something obvious other than Pokemon but w/e!!
● Role reversal! So I talked about role swap and swapping houses and stuff, but a full on reversal of roles could be really interesting! I guess maybe "background swap" would be more accurate maybe?? Idk basically let other characters get experimented on by Those That Slither, okay. I'm always here for that sweet, sweet h/c.
● End of war scenarios. Okay, so for something more serious, basically post-game on any route where characters are dealing with the aftermath and trying to sort themselves out. This could be two characters in the same house/on the same route or it could be like... an AU end where we spared someone and dealing with that. I am so here for working out things like that, it could be really fun to see where everyone goes!!
listen i have like 500 ideas, watch this space for more later
