#THEY ARE GIVING US ENEMIES TO LOVERS

[ariddletobesolved]

Rosaline is such a fun film! I enjoyed it so much. I was so not expecting Paper Rings (Taylor Swift) to play during the credits but I think it’s fitting.

The way I screamed (internally) when I saw this, omg, LOVED IT! LOVED THEM!!!

Okay, I've seen people be like what if emo Marinette and Adrien are better at dating than their good counterparts, and raise you what if they actually hate each other? 🤔

why are you, as an adult in 2024, still hung up on reylo. why are you still mocking the shippers. why do you believe yourself to be superior only because you dislike a stupid ship from a fucking space fairytale. girl (gnc) get a grip

#it's ridiculous. this ship is... stupidly cliché. like if you know fandoms at all #you could easily guess why people would be into it. hello?? have you tried to watch tfa without your hate-on-kyle-ron goggles? #did you watch their scenes together? you don't have to like something to recognize the hints #hell. at the time i didn't really like jonerys but i realized they were going to be a thing when i read agot in 2011 #like folks. it's been nearly TEN LONG YEARS. let it go. LET IT FUCKING GOOOO #and for the lucy/cooper shippers out there who think reylos are (again) delusional when they compare the two ships: #no. *you* are being delusional only because you think reylo is unsexy and uncool (which is your right to think btw. obv) #if you can't see why someone would like both of these pairings for similar reasons... idk what to say honestly #people compared it to hannigram... honestly. again i see why they would appeal to anyone who's into both ships #i really do. but... unpopular opinion (since i'm more of a clannibal fan than i could ever be of reylo): #they are more similar to reylo than will/hannibal. there i said it #i'm not talking about the writing (admittedly the quality of it was questionable). i'm talking about tropes #never mind that imo the ghoul is more akin to vader than kylo but whatever #hannibal is an unapologetic kind of villain. he's not gonna have a redemption arc and that's okay #cooper is an antivillain who used to be a good man and became a disfigured cruel bastard. a parody of himself #lucy is him. him before the bombs dropped before he discovered the person he trusted the most wanted to commit genocide #nice. moral. polite. infused with the Good Old American Values™. he's basically her dark side #all of this is very hannigram/clannibal. i'm not denying it at all #but what'll likely happen is that lucy's actions will have a positive influence on the ghoul and remind him of what it means to be a man #and that's way more reylo-like. sorry. #beauty&thebeast/villain with some hidden good in him+morally righteous heroine/enemies to lovers etc. #i mean. hello??..... having said that. i'm not so much of a reylo shipper anymore and tbh never was. i really liked it at the time #but i was never fond of the st era. my fav characters are vader and leia and revan from the old eu. just saying #*and* it's also not impossible lucy gets darker with the ghoul as her traveling companion. in fact i wouldn't dislike it at all #if done well i mean #but i would still like for people to be intellectually honest and less puerile. god knows i have my notps #but i really don't give a fuck about the shippers. good for them i guess? i have better taste lmao but that's heavily subjective #val rambles in the tags #val speaks #txt

the thing they don't tell you about reading the entire dictionary aloud is that spending that much time caressing words in your mouth may lead you to form sensual, perhaps romantic associations with the act of speech. the words become more fully themselves on my tongue. i use my body to bring them to life. this, too, is yuri

#giggling and twirling my hair at the dictionary: ....and then what #i think i already was like this before i read the dictionary but it's hard to say. i do definitely think of individual words as #my friends or enemies and that's always been true to some extent. but now some of them are also my lovers #new ask game give me a word and i'll tell you what kind of relationship we have #here's a freebie: freebie. kind of obnoxious but doesn't rise to enemy level. i'm just sort of like oh freebie is at this party? #okay i will stand on the other side of the room so that we only cross paths once or twice and maybe kind of #comically grimace at each other in mutual forbearance. no love lost but we do basically respect each other #<-this is not a metaphor for whether i use the word freebie or how i feel when someone says the word freebie btw #it's just like...synesthesia. but for vibes? #fun with words #lecture du dico #my posts

Thinkin about an enemies to lovers AU between Morgott and Rigel, my Tarnished, and like atm I'm thinking the main thing about those two is they're incredibly smart if you keep them separate but if you put them together they're the biggest dumbasses in the Lands Between

#tossing around different dynamics between them in my head #atm I'm on them being like 'violence isnt the answer its the question' #'and the answer is yes' #im also thinking a little bit of that 'submissive in the way a guard dog is submissive' post #but Rigel is the dog #I mean she already uses the bloodhound claws anyways #and the idea of her being the king's hound is a very intriguing dynamic #like she can kick Morgott's ass anyways #but y'know #hes the scabbard to her sword and all that jazz #girl also partakes in dragon communion so like she doesnt give a shit about 'taboo' or whatever #Rigel is also a bisexual disaster so it just sorta fits for her #enemies to lovers has me by the fucking throat I swear #shouting into the void

Reading fourth wing has made me realise I define slow-burn very different to other people, because that book was not slowburn.

When I say slow-burn enemies-to-lovers I need detesting, hating each other - the sight of the other person makes you physically sick or trembling with rage, or some ungodly combination of both. I don’t want admiration from afar, I want plotting to murder the other in their sleep.

I need a slow-burn that lasts 3/4 of a book, if not an entire book - have me foaming at the mouth waiting for them to make a move, to brush hands at each other. I need pining in unspoken gestures loaded with meaning. I need flexed fingers when you touch and forcing yourself to pull away from the other. I don’t need smut by the end of a book and a sudden L-bomb, by any definition that is NOT slowburn

#basically I’m asking for rin x nezha #give me the poppy ear #TPW #fourth wing #rin and Nezha I love #violet x Xander #this is a fourth wing hate account #fourth wing spoilers #enemies to lovers #unpopular #opinions #rebecca yarros #i’m convinced if you loved fourth wing you haven’t read truly good fantasy #rf kuang #rf kuang show us how it’s DONE

love it when books go from take out (murder) to take out (dating)

you guys just don't know how to write angst anymore. putting people who say they like "toxic yaoi" in my dni cause they have no idea how to actually write toxicity

#I feel like a lot of this toxic blah blah stuff is fancy internet lingo to avoid accusations that you just enjoy abusive dynamics #without actually developing them or doing anything interesting. like if you're gonna say you love toxicity and codependency #and then just make fluff and smut about it without actually taking the time to explore and deconstruct it #then you're romanticizing it. are you not? #especially when the pairing in question has had extremely negative (beyond the scope of basic enemies to lovers) encounters in canon #just because you're using cutesy tumblr.com lingo doesn't mean you're absolved of actual development #and I'm saying this as someone who really likes this kind of trope because it gives room for monumental character exploration #and as a victim of abuse myself. I'm not saying write an essay I'm just saying why hype up how toxic and shitty they are for each other #just to turn it into fluff/a meme. like the actual negative parts of the dynamic don't matter? I though you guys condemned romanticization. #it's genuinely fascinating how the internet will deem one pairing abusive and bad but another with the same dynamic is just toxic yaoi? #I'm not sure where the line is drawn but you can't have your cake and eat it too. #and if you're going to try tackling a dynamic that's heavily abusive (“toxic”) then you can at least try to #justify it in a way that isn't just 'um well funny fandom meme ☝️' #you just want to skip all the development and get straight to the gushy parts? fine. not saying you can't. I can't tell you what to do. #but it does massively cheapen the dynamic and make it seem like you don't actually care about the characters you just want to ship somethin #I HATE CANON X CANON!! #slash nobody here #decrees

[theboarsbride]

me: *is overwhelmed by multiple WIPs, writing assignment, essays, and newspaper articles, and-*

my brain: time to plan a new WIP!

#....yeah i'm brining back my POTC fic... #revamping and redoing it... #gonna give it a more horror edge heehee #(and also enemies to lovers romance mayhaps... delphine and capt. salazar have very bold and unwavering willpowers + trauma lol) #(and delphine isn't afraid to stare literal death in the face and talk down to him like a mongrel) #(.....even if she's fucking terrified on the inside) #also now she has a soft spot for astrology but hardly talks about it because women in science bad #but it makes her lowkey decent (not great) at navigating so she uses 'navigating' as an excuse to just look at stars lol #also sorry to literally everyone idk if anyone here is in the POTC fandom or not...but.........yeah... #i kinda am but also not really (mostly not really) #i'm literally in it only bcs of the 5th movie because mmmmm javier bardem as n ugly brooding goth ghost man mmmmmmm gimme #but yeah this fic is a lot like 'serpentine whispers' where i glance over the lore of the story and run with what the movies give us #i just turn the canon characters into my personal dolls that i hope still resemble their canon counterparts lol

[baifengxis]

also i need k*tty x min *o shippers to watch kdramas and especially true beauty and realize this dynamic is very common for FL x SML and doesn't mean they're gonna be endgame, thanks

#i'm tired #they're finally giving us wlws and we have a useless obsessed fandom that wants to ruin it all for an one sided enemies to lovers #that you can find in half kdramas #xo kitty #anny watching

[tchaikovsgay]

does anyone know where i can 🏴‍☠️ pirate 🏴‍☠️ she-ra

#i refuse to use netflix but #i need to watch mara tell adora that shes worth more than what she gives to other people again #i need to watch those idiot best friends become enemies and then lovers #i need to watch catra beg adora to stay #I'm emo about it

[spideyladman]

Oh gawd I hope this works-

(For fanfic grope gradation) One Bed trope and Lovers to Enemies trope

IT WORKS!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Now time for the Tropes >:333

One Bed Trope

A: Love it. Spend my time combing AO3 for it.

I also love the possible tangledness and hugging each other and waking up to it and never wanting to let go of each other,,,,, so somft,,,,,,

And if one of them is scared of contact due to trauma in the past and the other says something like, "It's okay, I still care about you. It can take a while to heal, and even when it's rough I'll always be here for you every step of the way. We don't have to touch each other if you don't want to. I still love you a lot."

✨️ WAUGH,, ✨️

Lovers To Enemies

C: Neutral. A good author might be able to sell it, but a bad one will kill it deader than dead.

I'm not really a fan of it, considering I have seen works of this trope (mostly fanart but still-) and I just. Don't exactly appreciate this. Also a lot of the time this trope happens due to jealousy. And I know there are surely good works of this but still. Not a fan unless an online mutual or friend of mine shows me one and says it's good.

The show FRIENDS killed this trope for me, and I fucking hate the Ross X Rachel romantic relationship it has. Like cut off contact with each other at this point Jesus fucking christ-

#FIRST TIME I USED ALT TEXT YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >X] #it was fun!! it may have been tedious but it was fun!!! <:3 #specialshinytrinkets ^^ #patrick the homophobic gay/j #cloud dad #fanfic #fanfiction #tropes #one bed #lovers to enemies #spidey's art for your silly sills!! #fanfic grope gradation #huesitos!! #i should really give him a proper tag #!!!huesitos el pinche wey!!! #THERE YOU GO!!!!!!!!!!!! >X3333333

There's something quintessentially 2000s about fics where one character is always just irrationally angry at another character, and then that's called romance. Like Character A will say one thing, and then Character B will be like this mf is breathing... honestly, relax and go for a walk.

#jily fics used to do this a lot #like james would say two words and lily would be like this mf is speaking in my presence... and he didnt even do anything lol #it's so weird too... like maybe dont communicate but just like chill #reasons why the trope can only go so far bc eventually they have to reach a consensus and speak like regular people hdndjdn #kanej and enemies to lovers doesnt work but i can provide you with an alternative #allies to friends to lovers to enemies to lovers #if you want to go down the enemies route so badly #but bc inej and kaz were never enemies it doesnt fit them but they could grow to have a bitter relationship due to lack of communication #and then gradually come back together again.... #tired is thinking they have to be enemies... work for it give me reasons why they hate each other lol #random

Deciding to give the Disney Plus series Willow a try.

So far, all I'm taking away from it is that anyone could really be Elora Danan.

Am I?

Are you?

We might all be Elora Danan.

#the world is Elora Danan's and we're all just living in it #willow #willow disney+ #willow disney plus #willow 2022 #also wait WHAT? Disney giving us blatant wlw? finally? this isn't a dream?? or queerbait? #I like kit and jade but um- dove/elora and kit are giving me enemies to lovers realness currently #just take a shot every time someone says elora danan
