was wondering if you dislike any book/film tropes or character dynamics then also what ones you really do like ?
oh also which one do you consider yourself a sun/moon/eclipse person
hope you’re doing well :))))
hmmm for tropes i dislike:
bully to lovers 😐 like i’ll never understand why some like this trope. it doesn’t sit right with me on so many levels. like especially if the character that’s being bullied is a female & the bully is this asshole who would go to lengths to make the mc’s life a misery and then they back it up with - ‘but he secretly liked her the whole time that’s why 🥺’ NO i know they say that “oh if a guy is mean to you he likes you” it’s not always the case 👏🏻 & that’s why we go for toxic guys 🫠 (sometimes enemies to lovers can go too far when it comes to hurting each other) ig i dislike this one bc i was bullied throughout primary & high school
brother’s best friend - no wait hear me out !! i know i wrote two brothers best friend fics lmao. BUT when the mc has like no life? it revolves around the brother & his bsf. AND the absolute worst is when you get the brother’s pov & he infantilizes her 🤢 & when that’s the whole hurdle they need to cross for the sister and his bsf to be together? i immediately stop reading. like he just sees her as a child and not a woman.
& another thing i don’t like is when it’s a romance. the couple is supposedly in love but when we get his pov - he immediately sexualizes her and most of his thoughts are centered around her body & appearance :/
enemies to lovers when they don’t go too far with hurting each other in the beginning 🤩 like they don’t put each other in life & d3ath situations lmfao. the tension is top tier.
best friends to lovers i just. the bickering? the banter? the secret feelings? the pining? the confessions?😩🤌🏻
unrequited love. idk this hits different for me. loving someone who doesn’t feel the same. but you still choose to love them? i find it beautiful ig lmao maybe i’m crazy. loving them without wanting/getting anything in return :( the same reason why i like hanahaki aus plus i love flowers
neighbors au & they fall in love 🥺 idk i just want to experience this irl maybe that’s why i like it so much lmfao. they’re right there. whenever you need them & whenever they need you. the friendship you never knew you needed
when they’re stuck together? ig that’s a trope. like they can’t leave the house or room. eg. they get snowed in. they’re forced to be together & talk & get to know each other & realize that the other person is actually pretty cool & fall in lurrrv
i’m not sure if this is a trope but when the female mc is so in love with the dude, it’s starts off as unrequited love au but by the end he starts to like her back, but by then she realizes that she’s all she needs. and in the end she’s alone but comforted in her own solitude yk? i wanna write something like this (like little women)
& im a moon person !! what about you ?? <3
