A trope you like in fiction but don’t like in real life? - I can do enemies to friends to lovers, I can do mentor adopts protege despite depressions’ objections, I can do Girl Walks Into Dangerous Situation Because She Is Determined, all of them I can do in real life. However, I cannot do “marriage first, love later”. It’s fun in fiction because you can subject all manner of angst to your main couple but still live in the quiet assurance that there’s no way they can break up. And when you lift that into real life? No. It’s horrifying. Why. - You’re essentially forcing a person, the more vulnerable party and thus mostly women, into a legal life contract with another person. And love coming from that is just a romanticized fantasy. What’s more likely is that she’s gonna get physically and emotionally abused and not a single thing is going to be done about it because marriage. - Also teen pregnancies being some great accomplishment. Looking at you Bella Swan. • • • • #bookaesthetic #aestheticbooks #bookstack #livethelittlethings #thatsdarling #darlingescape #darlingmovement #thehappynow #mycozyretreat #myeverydaymagic #verilymoment #styleithappy #aquietstyle #pursuepretty #visualcrush #makeitblissful #darlingdaily #chooselovely #seekthesimplicity #capturequite #simpleandstill #everysquareastory #chasinglight #alliseeispretty #tropes #cliché https://www.instagram.com/p/CEcoSD-AhlP/?igshid=1lm096u1m2zrv
