On Blue Horizon characters and how they will be pretty breezy about love and life (or personally uninterested in being so).
Even though I made these relationship charts for fun I want to say these charts aren't "set in stone" and are Mainly reflective of Blue Horizon OC relationship issues when they're ~15! (Despite using the profile pictures that are implied to be 20's.)
Even with the Mystery Boy and Raj I want to possibly change to 2 hearts toward Raj after writing that short story. But I partly did 1 heart because they are more-so closed-off toward each other and not as genuine.
I've mentioned before but I like the idea of characters being able to figure out who they want to get with or not over-worry about it and not have it be The Only Possibility and Situation Ever, so characters like Rajani, Yunuen, Antonio Chandrani-Rivera, Layla Chandrani, Leo Abara, Konna and Jasmin will canonically flirt and/or kiss and/or even have sex with more than one character. There are others too!
I've described it prior as "what if Cinderella once had a boyfriend before meeting the prince and no one cared."
(There are also characters who don't favor doing that on a personal level.)
(Also, despite those being MLM and WLW-focused, there are relationships that are WLM and NB/NB and such and such.)
Alt texts! First the girls' relationship chart:
smiley means admiration/very fond of as a comrade. heart means current crush levels. question mark means a mystery--can be friendly or romo. broken heart means heartbreak, usually due to breakup or rejections (or occasionally assumptions). blue lines and lettering means platonic (although relationships can start off this way, brothers + sisters + siblings by blood are canonically familial. including cousins.)
Hazan is a lesbian who has a huge crush on Eliza who has question marks at Hazan; Hazan finds Layla "weird but curious" and then "also kinda cute (would). Hazal and Hazan are sisters (twins though it's unspecified there). Hazal is bi and has a smiley with two hearts toward Khalida. Khalida has a blue line toward her that says "friend." Eliza has a smiley and question marks toward Khalida and Khalida has question marks toward Eliza. Khalida is bi and has question marks toward Alia that says "very close" and Alia has question marks toward Khalida that says "important. Khalida has question marks over Layla and Layla has a smiley and two hearts toward Khalida that says "close friend" (however, 2 hearts do not mean "close friend"). In blue, Khalida worries over Konna and Konna stresses over Khalida. Layla is a lesbian and has a storm as well as question marks and exclamation points as well as censored yellow curses in a conflux atop hidden hearts toward Alia, who returns that. It says by Alia that her sexuality is unknown but not hetero. Despite the hearts it says they are "possibly friends." Layla thinks Hazan is "sharp but acts particularly lackadaisical" and "wouldn't" (aka get with) unlike Hazan who "would" (aka get with). Layla has question marks toward Konna that says "interesting" and Konna has two hearts toward her that says "curious." Konna is a lesbian and has 3 hearts toward a rainbow-TV-static-ing figure that says quote "HER (lesbian)" end quote. That "HER" has question marks toward Konna. That "HER" has a blue-lined feud with Layla (blood-related). Konna has a blue line toward Alia that says "cool but thinks Layla finds Alia hotter than her [cry kaomoji that's like T_T;]" and Alia has a blue line toward Konna that says "curious + cautious" on top of stormy gray loops with thunder that hides a loud "WITCH" underneath. Konna has a blue line toward Jasmin that says "freak." Jasmin has an opaque :) smile (not the admiration smiley) at Alia and Alia has a scarier-looking :) smile (not the admiration one) at Jasmin. Jasmin has the same opaque :) smile toward Layla who has a :/ (dispassionate face) toward Jasmin. These are in pink, however, like many of the closer relationships. Jasmin has a ^_^ brightly smiling kaomoji in red toward Maria, who has a storm with lightning and rain absolutely obscuring a singular visible heart toward Jasmin, but on top of the stormy rain she says "cool rockstar!!!" cheerfully. Toward Maria in blue, Layla's arrow says "cautious," Alia's says "curious (strange)," Konna's says "aware of her power" and Khalida's says "aware of her power."
Then the boys' relationship chart:
