The tropes that appear frequently in my stories✨

one's very specific urge to put a character with heterochromia eyes in every story they write or any one of these list: - person with repressed rage - person with red hair - mental figure [usually a 30 year old] who is either a senior or a brother of a character - excessive contrast between character with one big happy family VS character without/with family that's abusive - ✨DADDY ISSUES✨ - quiet character that's used as a way of appreciating other quiet characters [and currently has been a way of mocking netflix's adaptation of persuasion] - Himbos. lots of himbos - a character learns to love and be loved - a character slowly heals from their traumatic past - LESBIANS WHO GARDEN
