i like hearing people talk about these kinds of things, so i'd like to hear your thoughts! when it comes to favorites, i don't really like a lot of popular fic tropes (unless not having romance counts as one) but a lot of fanfiction seems to lean pretty heavily on romance, so i'm not surprised :[ as for least favorites, enemies to lovers is often pretty uncomfortable for me since usually it feels just. really weird going from wanting to kill eachother to in a romantic relationship, low-stakes rivalries are fine though. soulmate aus and hanahaki disease are much farther up there on my dislike list, both obviously have to do with me being aroace and just so tired of romance, but they're also just. horrifying? like i once read a soulmate au because my friends were talking about how bad they were and yeah! it really did feel like a horror story, the idea of being bound to a relationship by the universe itself whether you want it or not, no matter how hard you try to fight it. hanahaki disease is fairly obvious for why it's scary, a shame that it involves romance because plant-based horror SLAPS and it'd be both extremely funny and sick as hell if there was just a fanfic trope of "scary murder plant that slowly suffocates you as it grows"
so yeah, tell me about your thoughts on tropes!
