About Sunshine x Grumpy

The same beloved dynamic more commonly tagged as grumpy-sunshine, named from the bright half's perspective — often used when the cheerful character is the story's point-of-view or the one doing the pursuing.

Flipping the viewpoint reveals that the sunshine character usually knows exactly what they're doing, and chose the grump on purpose.

Common scenarios: The optimist's-eye view of melting a thundercloud: deliberate kindness campaigns, ignored glares, and victory measured in reluctant smiles.
