A list of tropes I enjoy, in no particular order
doomed siblings
doomed lovers
doomed in general, tbh
un-undoable changes
become god
"make each other worse"
"make each other better"
one is trying to kill the other x the other is head over heels in love
insane levels of misunderstandings and miscommunications ONLY WHEN proper communication just isnt an option (eg - the two sides literally cant talk and only have their last meeting/s and current circumstances to make conclusions off of)
"i cant side with someone who will kill children" betrays them so hard itll be remembered for generations to come
serial child adopter
serial parent adopter
"i was going to kill myself but then i met you and you know what, im going to try again" (doesnt have to be romantic, doesnt have to be to a person at all! let the saviour be a pet. or a plant. or a rock. or a sunrise or like a n y t h i n g)
"i was going to kill myself but turns out the person i was going to kill myself for is still alive and oh, this was a stupid decision, wasnt it?"
immortality
immortality, especially when its discovered in attempted suicide
fighting gods
any form of "was abandoned and lonely and one person showed them kindness and oh they are feral about it", both in a positive and negative way. Especially in a negative way
"Has anyone considered being nice to the monster?"
when a healer joins a war, all should take notice (lifted quote from a book but you understand, right?)
family reunions
The ConversationTM
abused to the point they forgot their own humanity
^ and then the ensuing rescue and recovery even more, agh
the scary person is scared of their partner
the scary person is the shortest of the group
"wow this guy is so smart" sees them with their regular group "oh. they were levels of smart i could understand."
"wow this guy is so stupid" sees them with their regular group "oh. they were levels of stupid i could understand."
A royal running away/leaving their duties so they could fuck around and have some friends
^ said friends finding out they were friends with a ROYAL who never mentioned it
raised by gods
trusted by gods
^ but not by anyone else
a character being extremely famous, and everytime the party comes across someone they hear a new feat said character performed - some of them insane, some of them contradicting others, all of them true.
the character that is the worst at being their species. a bird who is the absolute worst at birding. you understand
^ and the others loving and supporting them through it
^^ and the others despising and abandoning them for it
anything related to gods in general
*i should mention, when i say "god" i mean any cosmic entity that holds power over (abstract) parts of existence. do not bring religion here ty.
