Any platonic or familial relationship tropes you guys enjoy? I see plenty of romantic ones, those are the most common, so let's see for the other kinds of tropes. Just any tropes of how characters may interact.

These tropes can be from any media, literate, or work of art you can think of.

My favorite is found family or close family bonds. I enjoy this heavily due to a less than ideal family of my own, so I love the idea of picking your own family and/or having tight bonds with them.

Honestly that's me and my brother XD
He's 19 and he acts like he's so old and he's actively very easily angered, and I'm just this little "I hope you have a good day ^w^", easily distracted younger sibling

We got the good dynamic, I've grown a lot because of him!

This one can be romantic or platonic

Serial killer x crime fiction author

Author: I want this person to be killed in this way but I don’t know if it’s actually possible
Killer: give me a moment
*two hours later*
Killer, walking in: IT WORKS

okay to be fully honest I actually like twilight because it reads like a middle school romance on wattpad

I like any sort of monster x peace-driven human (or angel even)
The opposites attract thing?

as platonic, big evil monster protects angel/pure being, the only holy and good thing to it (and then messes with pure being and is that one friend you need on a leash)

as romantic, monster protects pure; the pure is the only good thing to the monster, and the monster is the only evil thing to the pure. they hold together through stubbornness mostly lol
