More fun ideas to toss around in our heads! This time, I'm wondering about what makes a good teacher, and what makes a good student... Do you prefer these types of relationships to be of a more serious nature, or do you like to mix in comedy? Myself, I prefer a balanced approach between humor and seriousness, akin to what Anakin and Obi-Wan had in the prequels. An always beloved trope I enjoy is between a vastly older and a vastly younger character, and if they're of opposite genders, the dynamics and especially the humor are all the more enjoyable, I've always believed. The emotional and psychological differences between men and women can lead to some downright silly scenarios, at times, and makes for great humor as well as touching scenes of affection! Differences between species' cultures (if they're conformists, anyway) can be fun to emphasize, akin to Legolas and Gimli, for example. However, that only works if your character in question feels a sense of kinship with his/her own species - an alienated character simply doesn't care about the cultural norms of their own kind and doesn't feel the need for "representation" at all - its a moot point for them. Also, what are the best things a teacher can learn from a student? Or the student from the teacher? Discuss below!
I'd say more then just basics, but my Bothan Fluffbutt is tired, so I'll catch you guys in the morning! Everyone have a great night, and I look forward to what you all will bring to the discussion! Happy creating and worldbuilding, my fellow Nerds.
EDIT: Good morning, everyone!
