@Sereg: You should probably chill out a bit. Whether or not this kind of attitude towards romantic relationships would be healthy in real life, this is fiction, and most people are capable of recognizing that; what a person thinks about a fictional character doesn't necessarily reflect their views/preferences IRL.

Now, I'm the kind of boring person who tends to gravitate towards characters who I relate to rather than (in most cases) larger than life escapist heroes, but that's not universal.

@ Geek Code Red

Yeah but, a LOT of people hate Romance Drama.

That's the one thing I see that consistently gets the most hate.

Also, life without conflict is stagnant. Without conflict, we don't grow. Do keep in mind that conflict can be as simple as deciding whether your wedding cake is chocolate or vanilla or deciding where to go for lunch or what have you.

I think people like conflict that does not require characters to suddenly act stupid or have a problem with something they shouldn't have a problem with in the first place. At least that would be my best guess.

Actually, I would love to live a life with no conflict.

The simple truth is that it's less that conflicts make life interesting, but rather that since we live in a world with limited resources (time, money, natural resources, etc) but unlimited desire, conflicts are simply inevitable.

Conflict is bad, but it's sometimes necessary. That doesn't make it good.

Conflict isn't inherently bad. Conflict creates the will to stop conflict. Conflict is the reason to do something.

A world without any conflict would be terrible. No one would have anything to work toward or live for.

Here's how I see Blake and Yang's interactions will work in volume 4: Blake decides to go visit Yang in her sleep before going to hunt Adam. She leaves some flowers, her bow, and a note explaining why she left. Later, after RNJR has reunited with Weiss and Blake they head back to patch to plan their next move. Blake scouts ahead and finds Yang fighting with some Grimm and White fang and struggling. Blake saves Yang who proceeds to run at her angrily before falling into her arms unconscious. JNR and RWB and unconsciousness Yang head to a town and Yang wakes up. Blake tries to talk to her which turns into a shouting match which causes Blake to get upset and leave. Qrow then comes in and calls Yang out for her behavior. That night, Blake is up on the roof and Yang walks up. They talk about what happened and Blake apologizes for leaving while Yang apologizes for her behavior. Blake then lays on Yang's lap while she strokes her causing her to purr.

But the reasons most of the world's conflict exist are kind of dumb.

I guess that's why we learn from them, to not be dumb.

World conflicts are vastly different from conflict as a concept.

Yes, conflict can be stupid and harmful.

But conflict as a concept is a difference from the current to the desired.

I'm perfectly okay with a fictional romantic relationship with no serious conflict whatsoever.

Conflict does not mean "blood for the blood God", it means two or more parties are not in unity. That can be bad (racism, terrorism, etc.); it can be necessary, in order to stop existing, bad conflict (and I would argue that under that definition, necessary conflict is good conflict); it can be good (division of political parties and the system of checks and balances in the government is what keeps the U.S. from being ruled by a dictatorship); and it can be unnecessary and neutral (stupid teenagers who act irrationally and hurt each other when they're trying to help because they're afraid of just sitting down and talking).

There's nothing wrong with a boring relationship. There's nothing wrong with an "interesting" relationship. What is wrong, is an abusive relationship.

So what happens if Velvet takes a photo of herself using Unlimited Bun Works? What about a photo of her taking a photo of her using Unlimited Bun Works?
