RULES: look back on your work, both past and present, finished and unfinished. what are five to ten narrative elements or tropes that continuously pop up in your work?
(In no particular order, just as I can think of them)
acceptance vs nonacceptance
found family/chosen family
enemies to friends/lovers/non-antagonistic 'I-know-that-guy'
stumbled into the plot
Forests for some reason
Villain-to-rival pipeline where they're still mostly violent assholes they're just on the protagonist's side now
Heart-of-gold assholes, soulful idiots, and broody killers seem to my go-tos when making characters, lol, including a sort of mix-and-match situation regarding any of those traits
