#don't put characters together in a qpr just for the sake of it and have an 'excuse' to ship them but it's fine bc it's in another font

A QPR ISN'T YOUR FUCKING JOKER CARD TO PUT ARO PEOPLE IN A RELATIONSHIP BTW :)

You know what fuck it, I'ma talk about my oc x canon ships briefly ( not all of these are inherently romantic)

Jin x Amber x Wally: my favorite throuple. I love them dearly. I have a planned divorce era where Jin and Amber break up for a while bc Jin thinks their anger is ruining the relationship- and to be fair, it is something that hasn't been addressed by them, and has been a source of contention between the two. But I also think this could have been Jin doing a " I'm going to leave you before you leave me" situation. Anyway, Jin goes back to Johto to reflect and work on themselves, release a lot of things about themself in the process, and comes back to Hoenn to find Amber and Wally not fully together but are very Close. Jin isn't upset by this only bc they realized they loved both of them. The problem though is now Jin is afraid of inserting themself into the equation, thinking they'll mess up again, not realizing Amber and Wally love them back. They work things out though, and are very happy together :)

Kenji x Silver: Gonna go through reconstruction, and in general is kinda based on what I'm feeling for them, but overall it's the sunshine x storm cloud trope except one is dense and the other is bad at emotions in general. Again, it is gonna go through reconstruction so it feels like something of substance.

Danica x Kavi x Barry: This is a new one and something that isn't really romantic to me? At least right now. Maybe this is a qpr than anything, but the reason I'm even considering them is bc of all the cute Dawn x Barry x Lucas stuff I've been seeing. So whether or not this is gonna be a thing at all depends on how my playthroughs and character analysis of these three go when I get to Sinnoh ( which is next). I'm just putting them here for novelty sake.

Cheren x Alexis: It's very funny how they're divorced and they never even dated lmao. Lots of complications. Most of it is on Alexis' end, but I promise you Cheren has their own fair share of issues. I've been considering them actually getting together after everything but it's not like. A priority to me. I think them being happier than they were before individually is a reward as is. Still it could happen. Or it won't. Who knows ooooooo.

Elliot x Bianca: They're actually exes in canon! If I change my mind later, I change my mind later but right now, they did in fact date, sometime after b2w2. They had a mutual crush on each other for a while and decided to make it official after all the craziness died down. Bianca was the one that broke them up. She realized pretty quickly that Elliot was going through a lot in terms of Alexis. She's not really putting herself first? Purposely looking away from issues that the old Elliot would be yelling about. And that's.... probably not great for being in a relationship. It broke her heart to do so, but Bianca did think breaking up would be for the best- at least, for her own sake.

Eva x Yancy: Also exes!!! I might rework how they broke up, but the current idea is that Eva had the biggest crush on Elliot since they met, right? That.... hasn't fully gone away, even when she was dating Yancy - something that she herself was shameful off. Eva did like Yancy! She wanted their relationship to work! But it came to a point where Eva just. Couldn't stand lying to Yancy about her own feelings so....they broke up. While Yancy does still have her own faults, it was mostly Eva that ended up driving the relationship to the ground and...kinda leaving things on a sour note? They eventually reach in a sweeter note together, but yeah. Oof.

Eva 🤝 Elliot: Fumbled the bag.

This is an oc x canon post so no Eva x Elliot lol.

.....Wayne and Curtis don't get into a romantic relationship at all( Curtis is aro to me, and Wayne maaaaay be grey-aro), and I don't even think they're in a qpr bc like. At some point Curtis just ups and leaves and pretty much goes off the grid. Wayne knew this, of course, and accepted that Curtis just wanted to dip. But even with alllll that I do think their relationship is very very important to both of them. So like. They get an honorable mention, I guess.

Ames x Lillie: A story of how one person inspired the other to grow, and said person had to deal with that growth. The bad mutual crushes during SM, but by usum,the crushed are still there but are not tainted with teenager angst. Ames is still in protector mode while Lillie is like " I can take care of myself now >:(". It's not like. Super intense or anything, but it probably feels that way bc they're teenagers with Teenager emotions. They work things out and are pretty much a couple moving forward.

Naomi x Marnie: Each other's cheerleaders, Marnie someone who treated Naomi as fellow competitor, an equal. Naomi already thought Marnie was pretty when they first met, and Marnie has a deep desire to win against Naomi for herself - and honestly I think Naomi welcomes it. Their rivalry is kinda intense...and yet still very soft. I think that's just the Naomi touch lol.

Luca x Kieran: HA. Your funny. I'm not explaining them again. They're Normal (lie)

R.B x Arven: Childhood friends turned enemies ( big quotation marks there) to friends again to be very oblivious to the fact they love each other to lovers. The foodie and the chef. They're not afraid to get pissy with each other, it's how they vibe. Seriously though, they're cute. Not as....uh. A lot as Luca and Kieran, but still have their own drama. Both believed the other left them ( and in R.B's case, Arven literally told her he doesn't want to see her again, so she honestly has a right to be pissed), both have their own walls set up that gradually get down as the story goes on. They missed each other. A lot. And I think admitting that ends up making their friendship all the sweeter :) also the applin incident. It's not canon anymore , but I love referencing it.
