Brotp Prompts - Tumblr Posts
Imagine Your Brotp
Person C: (Elegantly holds out their hand to Person A) “Would you care to accompany me, Person A~”
Person A: (Looks down at Person C’s hand and instantly goes to low five it with a cheeky grin) “Of course, (Friend/Buddy/other nickname they call them by)! Do you even need to ask!”
Bonus: People on the sideline looking stunned at Person C’s gesture to be exasperated and done with Person A’s.
Dialogue Prompts, anyone??
“I’m sick of you always taking the cat’s side in everything!”
“I pictured you hotter, to be honest.”
“What do you mean you’ve never tried hangover sex? It’s like, an instant cure!”
“Remember how I told you I already took care of that? Well I lied and I need help NOW.”
“Is this the same store you don’t go to anymore because you said ‘I love you’ to the cashier?”
“No, I was just in the neighbourhood…total coincidence that you’re here too…”
“When we’re 50, wanna be each other’s backup spouse?”
“No, officer, I will NOT step out of the vehicle..”
“For the last time, this is not Joe’s Pizza. How do you keep dialling this number? Who even free-dials anymore?”
“Yes, I know that’s my face on the billboard, can we not make a big deal about it?”
“Are these your underwear or mine?”
“Hey remember that time we practised kissing? That was so dumb, right? Right..?”
“What do you mean there’s no signal? We’re trapped here?!”
“Yeah, we broke up months ago…I didn’t tell you about it because didn’t think you’d care.”
“….happy birthday to ME…”
“Yeah we made a sex bet and now it’s terrible because I thought I would be the one who’s better at it..”
“Oh my god, you have a concussion, stop trying to flirt with me.”
“It’s super annoying that you’re so fit because you make me exercise more. How else was I supposed to ogle you?”
“I haven’t written anything in weeks because you’re so damn distracting. Stop that!”
“Okay wait. Can we stop joking around like we’d ever actually date? It’s really starting to hurt…”

Travel AUs
I know you’re terrified of flying and I’m super super sorry that we have to go to Australia (or some other far away place based on your area) I promise I’ll make it up to you.
We travel a lot but we still hate airports. I swear if you get patted down one more time…
You’ve been dreaming of going on a plane since you were a kid, and I’m the pilot of the small plane you’re taking to Disney with your friends. You’re adorable, and it’s making it hard to concentrate on flying.
We’re strangers but I just overheard that they lost your bags. Would you like to borrow some of my clothes? They’d be a bit big…
You grew up in Canada, and now that we have to go there for business I get to hear all of your embarrassing stories. PLLLLeaSSSe keep talking, Mrs. Mom!!! They’re soooo red!!!!!
I love the mountains, you love the beach.
I grew up ski racing, traveling the world to ski on different mountains, and you’ve never left your state (province for my fellow Canadians, but I’m not too sure about other areas).
brella:
important ship tropes:
fake dating
SECRET dating
being locked in a room or trapped in a small space
huDDLING FOR WARMTH
BEING ON THE BRINK OF ADMITTING THEIR FEELINGS FOR EACH OTHER BUT THEN GETTING INTERRUPTED
finishing each other’s sentences, KNOWING WHAT THE OTHER IS ABOUT TO SAY
tou chi NG!!!! FOr eheA DS!!!!!!11!!
wearing each other’s clothes
doing that thing where they accidentally get real close and, like, stare meaningfully at each other for a few seconds too long
channeling the inner romcom and having an epiphany about how much they care about each other and RACING TO CONFESS THEIR LOVE
fucking. Now or Never Kiss
HEIGHT DIFFERENCES
defending each other to scathing tertiary or otherwise minor characters but ONLY WHEN THE OTHER ISN’T AROUND
reincarnation or time loop or OOOOH TIME TRAVEL SCENARIOS
dramatically saving each other from certain death or barely surviving something that almost makes the other break down and just smirking wearily and mumbling flippant smartass remarks to HIDE THE DEPTH OF THEIR FEELINGS
undercover as lovers, the classic
ALMOST KISSING. like getting so close that they start to close their eyes and hold their breath and then SOMETHING HAPPENS and they jump apart, that is MORE VALUABLE THAN ANY ACTUAL KISSING
casually sitting on each other’s laps during ensemble cast conversations or scenes
did i mention F AKE DATinG
au/prompt list

which one is the cheeky asshole who chooses rainbow road on the fastest setting (and who DARES to use a red shell on the other)
who’s in their PJs watching cartoons singing along to the theme song through bites of Cap’n Crunch, and who’s standing in their work clothes sipping coffee watching them, stalling leaving for work because they love that dork

i’m the one who’s always there for you and laughs at your jokes, when no one else does, and make eye contact and smile at you, but listen buddy *slams against locker* if you make another goddamn joke about the chicken we’re gonna have problems
i’ve always wanted someone to hit my window with pebbles at midnight and whisk me off on a romantic adventure……but you breaking the lock on my back door, stepping on my dogs tail, nearly scaring me to death sneaking into my room, making fun of my bedhead, singing to songs we don’t even know on the car radio at 1 am, eating fast food in a parking lot cus we had to stop for gas, and watching the sunrise from the backseat……..might just do

For as long as you can remember, people in your village have told stories of angels wandering in the forests surrounding you. You never believed them until one stormy night, when an injured angel appears at your door.
im tired of all these askmemes being for otps tbh
so leave a brotp/platonic ship in my ask and i’ll tell you:
who steals french fries off the other’s plate
who jokingly moves in for the kiss when someone asks if they’re a couple
who has to bust or bail the other out of jail
who gives the other advice/comfort about dating issues
who shamelessly cheats at games by reaching over to cover the other’s eyes
who immediately calls dibs on the top bunk
who starts and who wins the pillow fights
who says “your pants would look better on their floor” to the other’s potential crush
Write a conversation where one person is begging the other to stay with them. I cannot be a love story of any type
You wake up in a jail cell with a horrible hangover and no memory. You notice every cop is afraid to even look your direction but your best friend is in jail with you laughing his ass off
Reasons to love Battle Couples:
-couples that kick ass together, stay together
-you can get those awesome duel fight scenes where someone is shooting someone else while being thrown in the air by the other part of the OTP
-It means you have a reason to write practice sparring fics which almost always devolve into makeouts, ah yes, the perfect lead in
-helping each other improve by giving each other tips and tricks
-competitive battle couples ranking how well the other does in battle
-when one gets injured, the other goes badass to save them, they will fight the enemy, they will fight the enemy’s enemy, they will fight themselves
-one part of the battle couple having to stay behind and waiting for the other to come home, nervous and on edge, and vise versa
-being shit at each other’s weapons if they switch. Or being really good at each other’s weapons. Pick your poison.
-Flirting in the middle of a fight. Because what’s more hot then kicking a baddie in the face then going “so babe, did it hurt when you fell from heaven” “that is a terrible joke” “I think it’s at least a 5/10″
I just love Battle Couples.
I love reading fics about OTPs having mental bonds and things like that, but they’re always so profound. It’d be so much more entertaining if they still thought like normal people. Imagine this stuff:
“You’ve had that song stuck in your head for days. It’s driving me nuts, too.”
“Why are you making a grocery list in your head while we’re having sex?”
“Is that really what you think about my ass?”
“Stop projecting so much belligerent boredom. I love this TV show.”
“No, you didn’t forget to lock the door. You can quit fixating on it now.”
“Yes, that sounds much better in your head.”
“Is that really who you’re daydreaming about naked?”
“Less homicidal thoughts about your annoying coworker right now, please. I’m in a meeting over here.”
“It’s coffee you’re craving. Go get some. And bring me some. You made me want it, too.”
“Thanks for the road rage thoughts. I’ll take the back roads home. See you in an hour.”
“If you think ‘knit, knit, purl,’ one more time, I’ll stab you with those needles.”
character concept: two people who have been reincarnated for thousands of years and have always found eachother but instead of being in love they just fucking hate eachother

A novel about a depressed superhero who just can get out of their apartment to help anyone. So crime rises and people die, and the hero can’t find it in them to care. And all the news wants to know is where did their hero go? Why has the hero abandoned them? The hero doesn’t know, but a barely there villain does. So the villain reaches out to the hero and offers the hero their company, because they know what it’s like to be so depressed you can barely get out of bed to go to the bathroom; they’ve been there before. Normally the hero would frown at hanging out with a villain, but since they don’t care about anything right now, they don’t oppose the idea. So the villain starts visiting the hero regularly; making the hero meals, helping the hero clean the apartment, and just watching Netflix with the hero until they both fall asleep. They become friends, and slowly the hero starts to get better and able to do more things. The hero starts therapy and even saves a couple people here and there. And all the while, the villain is right there with them, helping them along the way (though they’re still a villain and that’s not changing). And eventually the hero asks the villain to move in with them because they can’t picture their life without the villain, but it’s not romantic in anyway whatsoever. They become permanent roommates and best friends and maybe, just maybe, they adopt a dog together.
