RANKING YOUR FAVORITE FANFICTION TROPES 😜 (and exposing myself for being a fu... i can't say it)

[@joonkorre]

For me, Sex Pollen is just Bang or Die. My preferences are kinda particular though: - The pollen should only amplify one or both parties' feelings, and after they fuck they should have angsty moments where each is not sure whether the other party fully consented to it, liked it, liked *them*, and both are afraid to communicate as to not damage their platonic relationship. Then, they would talk to some educated friends/mentors/aliens/whomever the fuck who inform them that the pollen wouldn't work if there's no feelings present. Then they'd have an epiphany or some shit and come back into each other's arms and fuck some more. - Bang or Die should happen if the characters are supposed to obey some weird rules of an ancient kingdom or planet (klance fics come to mind), and/or if there is already a lot of tension between the characters, either romantically or as enemies, no in-between. Their romantic, pure feelings for each other (kinda unrealistic bc if you're not ace then you'd probably want to fuck your object of affection from the get-go but let a bitch dream lmao) would give way to intense sexual attraction that makes the Bang or Die thing turn into a good time. Then, there would be the awkward aftermath like the one I like for Sex Pollen. - I also like for the characters to be enemies bc I truly believe that there's a thin line between love and hate. Like how despite not really liking each other as people, Harry and Draco are quite literally obsessed with each other and probably don't know that they're lusting after one another, with Harry complimenting Draco's looks multiple times and Draco driving his father mad with his Harry-related rants. When put in a Bang or Die situation, the characters' view of each other change as they fuck, and their hate for each other easily turns into curiosity and some other kinds of repressed emotions. There would probably a lot of snarky banter during the act and they would also fight for dominance (bc that's what enemies do regardless of circumstances), which makes everything even juicier. - They're gonna have to learn how to interact with one another in a new way after this even if they decide to form a truce or continue to fight, and that will probably lead to some soul-searching and some shit about "wow wouldn't it be nice if i run my hand through their stupid hair hold on what the fuck". They're gonna try to hide the experience and their new form of ~tension~ from other characters, or they're gonna go through a shit ton of teasing from the characters which put them in more embarrassing and relationship-defining situations. Yes I put a lot of thought into this yes quarantine got me bored as fuck yes yes

No miscommunication in unrequited love that's actually requited >>>>>, the main character thinks that the other character doesn't feel romantic interest towards them because of something they said >>>, the miscommunication gets cleared up in the end when the other character confesseses their love >>>>>>>>>>

[@薇vern]

I kinda like it when the miscommunication comes out of the character’s insecurities. Like if someone is already established to be incredibly bad at accepting people care about him, then if the author wants to write him as completely oblivious to another person’s romantic advances on him because of this insecurity, then that is usually pretty good (however painful) to read. So basically keep things in character and not just “for the plot”

She saw one book I dont remember the name of with 2 girls on the front cover. There was only 2 books (I think) so she got both (It looked like an obvious lesbian romance). Well I don't touch the book up until my teacher at the time started becoming more strict and instead of having free time after work, you had to read. So the first time I read this book was at school and what do you know, its hentai.

I was in middle school and I took the book and started reading there on the hallway where people where walking past me, they’d stop and give me weRid looks. And I had to walk to the library bathroom to read the book. Omg the worst part is when I was checking out the manga, the front desk office women gave me a weRid look, never have I wanted to hide in a cave.

@@brigetbirbaew I always thought a furry was those people who dressed up in animal costumes? Full on, like a team mascot-esque... ? Not to be confused with pet play in BDSM which is another thing entirely (I think? I could be wrong, def they could overlap. Petplay often includes ears and tails+ but it's more a mental regression so I'm not sure it applies?) And yes, cartoon creations as you describe are also attributed to the furry but what I saw of a documentary once described it as in full-on animal body and head costuming. Typically the animal costume is cutesy and more like a cartoon, but I assume not always.

[@brigetbirbaew]

@@Wormwoodification technically you are right to an extent but only about 15-20% of furries actually have those suits (which usually have a starting price of $2500 USD and can get up to $15000 USD) And while it can overlap with pet play for some people i suppose (everyone has their own preferences *shrug*) its not really a community thing, especially since there are MANY minor furries. At its base being a furry is weather you love animals and weather consider yourself one or not. Theres plenty of people who draw anthropomorphic characters (a stereotypical furry attribute) yet dont consider themselves furries and vice vera. All in all its just a community of animal lovers who show their appreciation in a different way. ^-^

Your parents, friends or someone else close to you come across someone who would seem compatible and introduce you guys to one another. You have a choice as to whether you wanna end up being with that person. Forced marriages are the ones I can't stand cuz they're, like the name suggest, 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘥.

(Covalent bonding, I suppose, is then something in the middle -- the tropes both help each other.) And like, heaviness/atomic mass being maybe like how "weighty" a trope is (how much that trope will dominate a story if it's included or smth??)

I like enemies to lovers, but only when it’s gay, and only when the “enemy” dynamic that they have is like “oh my god they are just so INFURIATINGLY pretty why do they have to have such a symmetrical face and perfect suit and deep blue eyes... anyways, I absolutely DESPISE this person.”

@@strawberrynikolas As a lesbian, I tend to go for gay or lesbian romances because I find them more relatable and more interesting because you can have the added element of questioning your sexuality or worrying about homophobia, and because the romance is less likely to be just assumed(like how "boy meets girl" is shorthand for a romantic relationship) so the author has to actually write it well.

enemies to lovers- but they're only enemies because they're from warring factions and when they meet they don't realise they're enemies and flirt and have banter until they return back to base and then realise and hate themselves for liking each other>>>>>
