this or that - tropes edition
I was by-default tagged by πΈ@lilacacia! Trying to get back into doing tags and being social on Tumblr again.
β€οΈ Slow burn or love at first sight?
Love at first sight. I like a slow burn only if it's not too slow, you know what I mean? I like getting to the cuteness fairly quickly. I'm not the biggest fan of the love at first sight thing but it's a little more to my taste than slow burn.
π©· Fake dating or secret dating?
Fake dating. I love it when pretend feelings become real feelings. π
π§‘ Enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers?
Best friends to lovers! Way less toxic and extra cute.
π Hurt/comfort or amnesia?
Hurt/comfort. Amnesia storylines piss me tf off.
π Fantasy AU or modern AU?
Is it lame if I say both? I fuck with a good urban fantasy. Buuut if I can only pick one, fantasy.
π©΅ Mutual pining or domestic bliss?
Oof this is tough. Mutual pining is usually associated with a slow burn and that can go on for way too long but I do love watching two people who are drawn to each other being a little unsure of themselves.
Smut. I'll take no further questions. π
π Reincarnation or character death?
Reincarnation! I'm such a sucker for an undying love that endures over lifetimes.
π€ One-shot or multi-chapter?
One shot. I have no attention span. I'll read a multi-chapter fic if I really like the writing style but usually if I see "part 1 / β", I tend to avoid it.
β€οΈ Kid fic or road trip fic?
Road trip. 1) It's more fun and B) I'm very, very, very childfree and I prefer it if my characters are too.
π©· Arranged marriage or accidental marriage?
Wh-what's an accidental marriage? Is that...is that a thing? I don't...I guess arranged marriage by default until someone explains the logistics of being accidentally married to me. Recommend me some accidental marriage fics or something.
π§‘ High school romance or middle-age romance?
Middle age. Teenagers are literally incapable of thinking clearly and the older I get, the more facepalm-y I get over their decisions.
π Time travel or isolated together?
Isolated together! Preferably snowed-in. With one bed. And have to snuggle for warmth. π
π Neighbours or roommates?
Hm, there's no real difference in my mind. I could go either way. I guess I'm leaning towards roommates just for convenience sake? Idk.π€·ββοΈ
π©΅ Sci-fi AU or magic AU?
Magic!!!! I do love aliens (obviously) but magic ignites my imagination a little more.
π Body swap or genderbent?
Hmm. Body swap. It'd be a great way to get to know the other character without talking to them which is interesting to me. Show, don't tell, you know?
Angst. Crack sometimes tries a little too hard to be WaCkY. π€ͺ (Guess who used to write crack back in the day? π
)
π€ Apocalyptic or mundane?
Mundane. I'm not opposed to a good apocalyptic adventure but it begins to stress me out if I read too much of it. I like more slice-of-life type stuff anyway.
