T!

T: Any fandom tropes you can’t stand?

mmrm rgh,,,,,,,,,,,,,okay so like I don’t??? know if they count as tropes??? but like im s o,,,,picky,,,,,,immmm putting thsi under a readmore bc it got Long and. I dont want to upset anyone haha.

that one trope where theyre like “I LOVE YOU WITH THE INTENSITY OF A THOUSAND SUNS” and im sittin’ in the corner like are u even fucking friends tho

when charas who hate each otehr,,,, in show,,,,,,are Super Mushy ???? like,,,,i love fluff and i love show casing different relationships but wh a t,,,,,they just wouldn’t,,,,act ??? like this ?????????????

wo obifying oh god w H Y my guys, villains are!!! so cool!!!!! and theyre cool bc!!! theyre villains!! COOL MOTIVE, STILL MURDER. like…..I Love reading fics that explore villain motivations and reasons and make u kind of feel sympathy for them…but u still have to paint them as the villain. like…theyre still the villain. they do really bad shit that hurts a lot of people. 

MPREG MAKES ME WANT TO CURL UP INTO A BALL AND NEVER READ AGAIN I CAN N OT BELIEVE,,,,,I JUST HOLY FUCK GUYS. I DIDNT KNOW WHAT IT MEANT AND OKAY IT WASN’T EVEN THAT GOOD A FIC BUT I WNATED MORE SHIP CONTENT AND IT WAS DECENT MY GUYS IT WAS DCEENT ENOUGH TO READ EVEN THO THE BEGINNING WAS WEIRD AND IMPLIED THINGS THAT NEVER GOT RESOLVED AND BUILT THINGS THAT THEY RETCONNED W/O EXPLANATION AND THEY DID DUMB THINGS THAT WERE BUILT BUT THEN NEVER DID ANYTHING WITH THE TENSION AND THEN SUDDEN THINGS HAPPENED THAT SHOULD HAVE HAD TENSION BUT THE WORST FUCKING THING WAS JUST. GOD. LORDS ABOVE, WHY. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY CIS MEN DO NOT GET PREGNANT 

ahem. Kind Of Related to the last one,,,,,,,,,but possessiveness and jealou sy ,,, ,?? like,,,,, please no ;n; I understand some people do feel possessive of their partners and can get jealous but,,,taking it to degrees that the other character i S THEN SHOWN??? TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH??? Like. I dont get,,,possessive/jealous very frequently (and its Basically Never abt my datemates) so I just,,,,I dont understand it….especially when it’s written as ””””hot”””” but the other character is obviously afraid of whoever their possessive date is. like hooooollllly fuck no. You can write possessive charas if you want and u can write jealous characters (jealousy is interesting to explore!! and ive been trying to use parts of it myself in other things to understand it better!!) But…….if you’re writing a character as afraid of their date??? Easiest way to drive me the Fuck away

ALSO ON THIS ONE, LIKE . MAKING CHARACTERS ABUSIVE/WEIRDLY OUT OF CHARACTER/FLIRTATIOUS JUST TO GET YOUR SHIP TOGETHER??? FUCK THE HELL OFF. JUST BECAUSE YOU DON’T LIKE ONE SHIP IS NO REASON TO BASH THE RELATIONSHIPS THE CHARACTERS HAVE. YOU ASSHOLE.

when characters who get divorced end up back together?????????? n o ????????????? THE Y GOT DIVORCED??? FOR A REASON??? Like, break ups are,,,a bit different, and if you want to go back to that same partner even knowing your previous problems that’s Fine,,,,but marriage is something else entirely. And ALSO as the kid of divorced parents like !!!!! holy shit!!! I can think of nothing worse than my mom remarrying my dad!!! She’d constantly be upset!!!! my brothers and I would be super upset!!! I would rather drop a piano on a priest than let them my divorced parents get remarried!!! and then kids in movies are trying to set their parents up???????????? No Thank You.

when fem charas are,,,,,,,,,,,like…..sexualising their friends/friends’ relationships & crushes. Holy Fuck No that’s,,,,so creepy holy Shit. And like,,,,,it’s especially prominent when fem charas are trying to set up the main ship….like i Like friends supporting the main protag/friends etc. in their crush/wooing of another person…but when they do it w/ o ,,,the other person’s permission,,,,and especially when it;s like “we have to get them together theyre so hot!!” (gags) please why. Honestly i m Guilty of this one myself but… Im Trying

Also on friends and Things like o VERPROTECTIVE SIBLING/FATHER PARENTAL FIGURE :T I Like overprotective sibs that Talk to their siblings’ crush and is like Hey dont be a Piece of Shit but. there’s so many where it’s so over the top and really we i r d. and a bit creepy. like. I dont want to think abt what my brothers do w/ their dates, i sure as fuck aren’t going to forbid them from doing what they please. The most i do is vet them and give my brothers my opinions on their choice of date and they do the same.   

TEACHER/STUDENT PLEASE GOOD LORD ABOVE I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG IN MY LIFE WHY WHY DO I GET TEACHER/STUDENT FIC RECOMMENDATIONS. The only thing i accept. in this. is like. uni student/tutor or student/fellow student tutor. and MAYBE student with a crush on a teacher IF THIS IS NEVER FOLLOWED THROUGH WITH / THE TEACHER IS LIKE HEY, NO, NOT GOOD ‘KAY M’DUDE / THE STUDENT GETS A DIFFERENT ROMO PARTNER WHO’S THEIR AGE and theyre like wow this is. Much Better than dating the teacher. (g A G S) 

I also really dislike large age gaps and it’s one of the reasons it took me so long to really like marco/ace. bc. it was. always written kind of Creepy. Also my whole family is made of teachers. I do not want to have this shit in my head e v e r. shudders.

uh,,,idk if I can think of any more, like im sure there are some,,,,but idk if they count as Tropes. And I dont properly know how to Describe them??? w/o giving examples from works?? and im not Doing that to anyone it’s Mean.
