#but with tropes!

[indignantlemur]

I absolutely am legally required to ask you this for the new fmk:

The talking 3 members of the Andorian commando squad: Shran, Keval, and Tholos.

-Horta-in-Charge

Of course! Shran, Keval, and Tholos, huh? Let's see.

Slow Burn: I feel like this would have to be Keval. We see him for less than a minute and he's all business - very professional, very typically arrogant, and while rocking a red leather uniform not very approachable at first. I could see things warming up over a joint mission or six. Or, you know, 37 chapters like someone else we both know. 😉

Fake-Date: Shran, because he's familiar enough with Humans that I think he'd manage to play along well and genuinely like the person he's fake dating after a while. He's got a sense of humor, which would make him quite likeable in turn, and he certainly hasn't been afraid to take risks to further Terran-Andorian relations in the past. If fake-dating is what's required for The Cause, then so be it. Of course things would progress from there quite naturally.

Enemies to Lovers: Tholos. Harassing my girl T'Pol during a hostage situation was really not the best foot to start on, my dude. That was creepy and totally unnecessary, and it's going to be held against him for a good long while. I can't imagine that would be greeted with anything but snark and disdain on his end, which would cement a low-grade enemies relationship quite well. Still, eventually I could see things wearing down on both sides with frequent contact to a mutual understanding of sorts, and from there a whole new world of possibilities could open up. Throw in danger, a few classic tropes like forced proximity and the old standby of stranded together, and I could see things progressing quite nicely to the lovers stage no problem.

The trope I appreciate very much

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

I love the "came back wrong" trope but from the opposite side.

Imagine you are dead. And then you are RIPPED from the embrace of decay into the world of the living again. Your memories are hazy and you don't recognize any of these people, but they act like they're close to you? Like they love you? So you try to get your memories back, to act like you belong here, but everybody tries to forget you died. And you can't. It is omnipresent. And just trying to grapple with that fact pushes the people who "love" you away, and they're incapable of understanding, and they're so confused, what's wrong N̶̄̀O̶͛͗T̷̉́ ̷͋͝Y̴̎̌Ȍ̴̈U̸̓R NÄM̴̃͑E̵̾̇? And you just need them to understand, you aren't that person! You aren't! You don't know who that person is! You don't know why any of this is happening, but they're unwilling to bend, they keep insisting you are that person, your memories will come back, everything will be normal again, and you want to scream and cry and claw yourself open to show them you're different. Your existence as a being wholly separate from whoever you "used to be" is a sin unto itself. All you can do is scrabble for life and to them, you're killing whoever they loved to do it.

just. lots of fun in that concept, you know?

I died but I came back exactly the same. You though, I came back and you were wrong. Did the fact of my dying really damage you that much? Was bringing me back worth what it cost you? Would it have been better to just leave me?

One of the funniest things about enemies-to-lovers ships is how they’re almost always obsessed with each other. Like if a character actively chooses to interact with another character over and over again instead of simply ignoring them? Throw darts at it all you want, but you still printed out a picture of them to hang on your wall

obsessed with characters being saved against their will. being knocked unconscious and carried away from a danger they won't stop trying to fight. being shoved through a portal somewhere far away and safe right before it closes. trying to self-sacrifice only to have the exact person they're trying to save swap their places at the last second. getting the only cure to the disease or curse bc the person administering it loves them too much to give it to anyone else, including themselves. being thrown to safety right as they had accepted dying. someone else they thought had gotten to safety running back to drag them out of danger. it's so fucking tasty

whatever I'll post my addendum to it anyway

#monsters #monsters getting to stay monsters but be loved and accepted #my beloved trope <3 #sorry to edit your meme op #but I needed it to reflect my true feelings on the troup

"Autistic characters in popular media are always robots or aliens" I mean, that's just not true. Autistic characters in popular media in fact span a wide range of backgrounds, including (but not limited to):

Time traveller

Former cultist

Morbid little girl

Grown in a tube

Ambiguously foreign

Talking animal

Curse victim

Tech support

Raised by wolves

Ninja assassin

World famous detective

French

I could fix him. I could make him worse. Good for you. I could gently take the weapon out of his shaking, blood-soaked hand and hold him until he finally believes that he doesn't have to be defined by all the ways the world has hurt him. Then we could ruin the lives of everyone who has ever treated him like he's a monster who doesn't deserve love.
