What do you MEAN. You're trying to tell me that our relationship that's been heavily played into and foreshadowed has been DOOMED from the start?

For all the energy fandom puts on the "and they were roommates" trope, we don't see nearly enough of the important subtype, "and then they were roommates out of spite."
Two characters who decide to live together not by accident or out of convenience, but because they hate everyone else in the show. Who do it for the sheer gut-punching glory of telling their former friends and allies so they can watch their faces twist in horror as they gasp, "you're living with who? Why??"
Pairs well with enemies to lovers.
What about a mafia Au or a demon/priest au, basically anything with a „good“ and a „bad“ part, but instead of redeeming the bad person or the good person getting lured to the dark side, they meet in the middle?
The mafia boss still being a mafia boss, but less gruesome and the cop starting to bend the rules a bit, intimidating the suspects like he learned from his boyfriend? Because they rub off on each other?
The demon still collecting souls, though he doesn’t torture them anymore? While the priest enjoys telling the Karen in his church to eat a spoon full of cinnamon to make up for her sin of calling the manager on a poor store worker?
So quickly did it go from "I'm going to die and it's always been like this" doomed, to "I'm going to live but the person that saves me won't" doomed.
@its-boglin-time bestie, I'm GOING to GET you
It's times like these that I wish my ttrpg campaigns had fandoms so that I could go and see what they think of my skrunkly little guys.
I want people to know the insanity!!! The absolute mind benders!!! The absolute what-the-fucks!!! That my characters have gone through/what was revealed in campaign. (It doesn't quite have the same affect hearing about about vs. being told, however, one day I will tell you about my weird ass women.)
There may be a time when I walked into the forest and came back. When the trees whispered to me that it was not my time nor was it my place. The moss did not accept me. The ground itself forbade me from laying in its cold comfort.
But there I was. Moss, bone, and something else.
Was talking to my sister about the trope of a character being a goody-2-shoes in an apocalypse (was watching Zomvivor on Netflix) and always wanting to save everyone even though they do have at least that 1 person they would sacrifice everything for and how I don’t care much for it (the trope part about saving everyone)
She then said “isn’t there that one captain America movie where he (Steve) did that for Bucky…Civil War right?”
And then I was like “that’s different, the government and Team Stark is basically ICE”
abo mating bite thing but the way it scars over/heals changes depending on the receivers emotions towards the other/the bite. also obviously alphas receive a bite too. the time in which a bite is not reciprocated (from either alpha OR omega) it refuses to heal, instead stays as a raw, open wound. if the giver forgets about the receiver, or falls out of love, or stops attending to the bond, the scar slowly fades, until it's barely visible. if the receiver rejects it, it scars ugly, raised, swollen, until the giver also rejects it. generally omegas and alphas are born as the corresponding woman/man, and so when a man or a woman doesn't follow that (is an omega, or is an alpha) , they're disdained and considered wrong because of this. betas are often forgotten about, and may display secondary sex characteristics (scents, very very mild heats/ruts, mating bite shenanigans) but often won't, or if they do it's incredibly faint. they're rare, or people don't realize they're a beta.
idk man I just think that the way this trope is always written fucking sucks and is dishonest towards the fact that these ship, relationships, or identities are queer, are not accepted by many broader cultures, and frankly are fucking misogynistic oftentimes. but the idea itself is kinda cool so I want more to do with that
