15 Beautiful Lover-to-Enemies Dialogue Prompts | Betrayal Prompts

"Do you remember the vows we made under the moon's gentle glow? How quickly they turned to ash, scattered by the winds of deceit."

"Your words were once my solace, but now they cut deeper than any blade forged in malice."

"In the labyrinth of our love, I found myself lost, only to realize you were the minotaur lurking in the shadows."

"Every kiss we shared was a dagger coated in honey, sweet yet deadly."

"The stars witnessed our passion, but they now mock our folly as we stand on opposite sides of a war we ourselves ignited."

"Our hearts beat as one, once upon a time. Now they drum the rhythm of discord and resentment."

"I thought I knew the depths of your soul, only to find abysses of betrayal waiting to devour me whole."

"Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, I emerge from the ruins of our love, reborn as your adversary."

"You were the melody to my symphony, but now your discordant notes shatter the harmony we once shared."

"We danced on the edge of oblivion, oblivious to the precipice that awaited our descent into enmity."

"The echoes of our laughter haunt me, mocking the innocence we thought would shield us from the venom of betrayal."

"Our love was a tapestry woven with threads of gold, now unraveling into a tangled web of lies and deception."

"I offered you my heart on a silver platter, only for you to feast upon it with the appetite of a ravenous beast."

"We were poets of passion, crafting verses of devotion with every whispered promise. Now our words are weapons, dripping with venomous intent."

"The sunrise that once painted our love with hues of warmth and hope now heralds the dawn of our animosity, casting long shadows of regret across the battlefield of our hearts."

Short Note From Me!

Many fans of Enemies to Lovers often overlook the possibility of exploring Lover to Enemies. This underrated trope is one of my favorites and I believe it has the potential to make a novel truly stand out. If you have space in your story for this unique twist, I assure you it will result in an amazing read.

I created these dialogue prompts to inspire writers to explore the theme of lovers turning into enemies, showcasing a different form of betrayal.

Happy writing - Rin T.

[dragonpropaganda]

you should talk about your thoughts on rw fanon (looking with huge eyes)

Oh god, there's a lot of major misconceptions have concreted into fanon, mostly around ancient society and ascension.

First things first! Ascension is not death! They are entirely separate things treated entirely separately by the text of the game. I can see where the interpretation is coming from, but it doesn't really align with how the text treats either subject. Five Pebbles may want to remove the self destruction taboo, but from his reaction to the rot it's clear that he doesn't want to die. Conflation of ascension and death only comes up as an offhand possibility that pebbs makes on iterator 4chan, when he's going into the possibilities of scenarios that even the other sliverists are doubtful of! (let me make clear that I am not a sliverist by any means)

Ascension is more of talked about as a form of transcendence, yeah? A Bell, Eighteen Amber Beads talks about their sitution as being "To have grasped at the boundless infinites of the cosmic void…", not as them seeking an end to life.

The beta dialogue goes into more detail, mentioning the "infinities of time and space" and the "boundless fractal planes of spirit and reality...", though this dialogue was cut and it's hard to tell how much it reflects the concept as in the released game.

As for the cultural misconceptions... there's A Lot to talk about, but the first that comes to mind is the common conflation of the five natural urges and the christian concept of sin.

It is true that the negation of urges is mentioned by moon as an alternative method of ascension, but much of what we know about the culture of the people who the fandom calls the ancients (which makes discussion of the depths a mess but that's something for another post entirely) points towards the urges not being seen as shameful.

Even the first urge does not seem to be particularly scorned! Being a warrior is presented as a cause for bragging in the Shaded Citadel pearl, being comparable with being an artist and a fashion legend. The second urge, also does not seem to be suppressed. Multiple sources attribute some level of honour to parenthood! The aforementioned pearl also mentions Seventeen Axes, Fifteen Spoked Wheel as being a "Mother, Father and Spouse" without any hint of shamefulness. Nineteen Spades, Endless Reflections expresses pride about having progeny, mentioning it alongside their owned land and esteem among their peers.

After some peer review, an esteemed friend has told me to add a section on purposed organisms as well! This is not so much my area, so I might be a bit off on some things.

As moon says, the majority of purposed organisms were tubes in boxes, and that the primal fauna of the world are almost entirely extinct. A lot of the fandom seems to ignore the first part, and i can't say I blame them, but the evolution of the creatures is so much weirder than people think.

Concept art for the creatures has this interesting quality to it, where the organic parts of the creatures have an almost... melty quality to them.

In the concept art, the flesh appears as if it's almost defying the machinery to form an animal shape. It's as if it's conquering its own artificiality the way the foliage grows over the (stone, brick and concrete, not mostly metal as some think!) ruins.

Of course, it's hard to really tell how much of this reflects the finalised concept, most of the integration is much smoother in the game, in line with a seamless kind of biomechanical design. There was always an intention of biomechanical strangeness, as shown in this screenshot of the devlog before the term "slugcat" even existed!

That said, the melty nature of the concept art shows a level of wild change inherent the biomechanical nature of the creatures, as if they truly are the result of these "tubes in boxes" almost revolting against their own boxes.

and considering centipedes... some tubes may not have had boxes in the first place!

#rain world #rain world lore #rainworld #rw spoilers #please note! my role in downpour development does not make me an authority on what is canon or not! #my domain is entirely within challenge mode and arena which aren't canon anyway #my lore analysis is just lore analysis with no looks behind the scenes of anything vanilla #downpour was made as a fan expansion and the rewrites were just done directly by james #we didn't get any disambiguation on the lore (and thank fuck for that honestly. analysis is the best part) #though the hills ARE made of bricks #this is canon not because i say so but because it is visibly true in some areas of the game. part of the text and thus canon. weep. #i could go into more detail on most of this! purposed organisms aren't my area of expertise tho so i might be a bit shaky on some of that #anyway if anyone has any fact checking to do. please do so #media analysis is a dialogue!

#sorry im not that good at writing dialogue i just needed to get vash grieving out of my system. #the irregular amount of smoke from the cigarette is wolfwood trying to hug vash /hj #also author's note the panel where vash has the cig near his mouth in the first page is supposed to be a fakeout. #dont think i executed it that clearly but its supposed to be like he's about to put it in but instead he's just smelling it and lookingat i #you can tell i got crazier with each panel of this comic. #trigun spoilers #trigun maximum spoilers #trimax spoilers #vashwood #implied vashwood #angst #this is like my second angst comic for any fandom ever #vash the stampede #trigun #trimax #post trimax #post trimax vash #black hair vash #digital #art #illustration #fanart #comic #cw grief #also for anyone confused about what vash is doing with the cigarette #placing a lit cig on someone's grave is a gesture of giving them a smoke in the afterlife #not sure what cultures/religions do it but my family members have done it b4 and thats what inspired this comic #post trimax vash saves cigarettes not to smoke but to do this (and smell them occasionally) #also mfw i get the motivation to draw but its poorly timed and right b4 college starts #spoilers

[villainousauthor]

The Villain looked back to the bold and increasingly annoying Child behind him.

“Go home already. I told you that I can't help you, there's nothing here for you.”

The Child stomped a foot, looking increasingly frustrated. They couldn't have been any more than 14, scrawny, and a tiredness in their eyes that looked to have been present for a while.

“I don't have a home anymore. I know you want to kill Supervillain too. Let me help.” Their voice cracked, and they looked on the verge of crying, but trying to hold it back, to seem tougher in the face of the Villain.

They had their mother's eyes.

“I know you're angry, and you want vengeance, I've known that type of hunger myself, but you're too young to be talking about murder like this. You don't know what it's like to take a life.”

Villain kept his tone firm. The sooner the Child gave up on this the better. Besides, he wasn't going to let Supervillain get away with what they did anyways, that he was sure.

“Hero was my mother. If anyone should get to kill Supervillain, it should be me.” Their tone was bitter, with a hardness no one their age should have.

“And so you come and ask your mother's arch nemesis for aid? Do you know how many times I nearly killed her myself?” Villain bites back. His fingers clench at the memory of Hero.

The Child scoffs. “You never wanted her dead. Everyone saw your fights.” They speak like they know everything, like they aren't in danger themselves around Villain. “I think she loved you.” Child sniffles.

“Quiet. You speak of things you know nothing about.”

The Villain meets the Child's eyes. They wear an expression of anger and hatred that Villain knows all too well, having seen it on his own face everyday for decades now. He knows how far they'll go, and what path it'll lead them down. Even if he'd never admit the words out loud, he did love Hero. Enough so that he won't let the last remaining part of her legacy turn out how he did.

He grabs his gun from his belt, unholstering it and pointing it directly to Child.

“Go. Home. This is your last warning.” He keeps his voice icy, his eyes cold.

Child pauses for a moment, as if considering calling his bluff, before scoffing and turning around, kicking a table leg before leaving.

"You did it? You created all the horrors I went through?" The book character quivers.

"Yes," the author sighs.

Tears trickle out of the book character's eyes. "Why?"

"Plot. Suspence. Charater development," the author answers. "People do like to read it."

"You're sick."

The author smiles. "Maybe I am. But that sickness created you, your world. And, better yet, people pay to read it." The author gets close to their book character, "you only exist because of me."
