FIC TROPES....ok i LOVE like, the idea of like vampire and werewolf aus so much theyre my thing but 99% of the time when u run across one of those au fics on ao3 theyre just. skeezy as hell like they alwasy (especially vampire ones) seem to b an excuse to be really creepy about power dynamics and control (the second someone mentions a "thrall" [throws laptop out window]) they always just make it WEIRD. also i dont like soulmate aus at all for some reason
YEAHHH YEAH its like, they inevitably get the same kind of vibe as....abo fics you know like idk how to describe it but...bonk for horny crimes HWHJDSKG fuck twilight for making vampires horny >:((( what we do in the shadows vampires and werewolves ONLY in bastown!!! um and yeah i think soulmate aus rub me the wrong way personally bc it is so like...urhughr fate and inevitable and not rlly ur choice shit and it kind of always steers too far into cheesy territory?? like. okay im not saying i hate all soulmate aus bc there ARE some rlly good ones out there but...it is simply easy to fall into the bad tropes
