I see your "people say they are a monster, but I am the only one who knows the truly kind soul beneath" dynamic and raise you "they are exactly the monster everyone says they are, but I see it and I don't flinch away"

#idk what to tag this to get it to the right audience #no this was NOT inspired by a helaena-aemond dynamic hahaha #that would be ALL kinds of crazy #uhhh #writing #writing tropes #fanfiction tropes #love tropes #fuck it I'm tagging my inspiration maybe the hotd fans get me on this one #helaemond #aemond x helaena #silverflint #black sails #troy x nick #troy otto #nick clark

My favorite DCxDP trope is Danny being a mom. Not a dad. A mom. Like, to the Batkids (mostly Tim, Jason, and Damian) or Ellie/Dani and Dan/Jordan. Ohhhh or even Billie and Klarion!

I just love it so much

why is the found family trope so underrated. I don't want to see 'em kissing someone I want to see them cry in the arms of their first ever father figure mentor who is the only one who understands their pain. I want to see a father kill to defend his found family dynamic child. I want to see two found brothers hugging each other glad the other one is ok. Is that too much to ask tumblr??? Is it?? Is it really???

So one trope in spirk fanfiction (haven’t checked with other pairings tbh) is Kirk agreeing ahead of time to help with Spock’s next (or first if it’s aos) pon farr

Yet, what a lot of those fics don’t have is those two getting a preliminary bond, which you think they would cause isn’t that pretty much the whole purpose of those bonds “hey unless something changes I’m willing to help with your pon farr” ?

So I was thinking about that and now I’m just laughing at it being a slippery slope

Kirk: Don’t worry about it, Spock, I’ll help out

Spock: Then we’ll need a preliminary bond

Kirk: Okay

Spock: Which many Humans view as an engagement

Kirk: Okay?

Spock: So out of respect for you, I will procure us some rings

Kirk: …You don’t have t-

Spock: To make sure you are absolutely safe, however, I think a full bond would be more logical

Kirk: Okay??

Spock: So of course, we must be married, I will send out the invites

Kirk:

Spock: It is only logical, captain

Kirk:

Kirk: I want a spring wedding

Bitches be like "I want you, I need you, my every being, my every atom  gravitates toward you, I don't know what I'd do without you, I cannot breathe when you are near-" and still be 10000% convinced that they're Not In Love.

forget enemies to lovers let’s focus instead on enemies who remain enemies but also want to repeatedly have sex with each other

there’s something so comforting about early game dutch and hosea

i don’t know what it is. maybe it’s my own issues, or just the fact that the found family trope is one of my absolute favorite tropes in the world, but dutch and hosea are so father coded it makes me so happy

the fact that these two men found all these kids, adopted them into the group, raised them just because they needed family; it warms my heart so much

hosea is the comforting parent. you hurt yourself as a kid, something goes wrong in your life, you experience heartbreak for the first time…hosea is your shoulder to cry on. he comforts you, says all the right words to make you feel better. hosea offers quiet and soft words of affirmation, a warm embrace, and maybe a nice cup of tea (that he snuck a nip of spirits in)

dutch is the advice parent. the solution parent. you have an issue that needs solving, dutch is the one that gives you the guidance and direction. he helps you by telling you stories from his own life, and ultimately what he would do or wouldn’t do. he tries to push you in the right direction, but won’t stop you if he knows that there’s a lesson you need to learn the hard way.

both parents love you and want what’s best for you, and really strive for anything they can offer you (which isn’t much). they’ve always just wanted better for you than what they had.

i love early game dutch and hosea. i love them so much.

oooh i love the tropes mashup idea! it was fun to think of these visually. what about 39 and 60 for drarry? (sub either of those if it just Does Not Work btw, zero pressure!!)

Haha ok this got way more elaborate than I was planning

39. Survival/Wilderness Fic + 60. Poorly Timed Confession

Trope Mashup Prompts!

Heartbeat tropes I just love 💓

🫀 A character expressing their love by letting their love interest feel / hear their heartbeat, or just know how fast their heart beats for them.

🫀 Cold stethoscope chestpieces. I know nowadays most steths have no-chill rims, but to me there's something oddly hot about a character shivering because the chestpiece feels cold against their skin.

🫀 After-sex ear-stething cuddles. Need to say more?

🫀 Vampires and other supernatural creatures being able to hear heartbeats without having their ears touch the chest.

🫀 A character who's hooked to a heart monitor having a racing heartbeat (excluding actual medical emergencies).

🫀 When one character feels / listens to another's heartbeat and comments on how fast it's beating or how nice it feels.

🫀 A character comforting an anxious or sad friend / love interest by letting them listen to their heartbeat.

🫀 Syncing heartbeats.

Would you add more?

Yeah, the homoerotic nature of sword fighting but what about the homoerotic nature of not being able to think of one character without automatically thinking of the other because they were designed to be thought of as a pair

Tropes that make me go absolutely insane every single time

Person A gets injured and person B cleans them up (bonus if it’s 3am)

Friends to lover

Friends to enemies to friends to lovers

Pulling a part from a kiss with a ragged breath, as if questioning if it’s really happening only to go back for a kiss, this time much more heated

The usually rough-around-the-edges character being soft for exactly 1 person (bonus points if they’re reluctant about it at first)

Any type of “OH SHIT” moment when one of the characters realizes they do, in fact love the other character (even better if they’re friends and the platonic shit they do is not really all that platonic)

Characters are in a very serious, emotion situation and one of them yells “BECAUSE I LOVE YOU” which is immediately followed by a long silence from both of them

Dying declaration of love

Character A thinks character B died but THEY DIDN’T, leads character A to cry and kiss character B for the first time unprompted 

Any time the rough-around-the-edges character has a moment of vulnerability with their ONE person 

“I don’t love you!” “I don’t love you either!” “Let’s kiss to prove it!” *proceeds to realize they are huge dummies who do love each other* (then do nothing about it for another 10k+ words)

In which character A has some sort of dangerous job (i.e. superhero) and character B is scared to be romantically invested because they could die

Character A begging and sobbing for character B to wake up after something traumatic has happened to them

Character A comforting character B after a vivid nightmare (bonus if they aren’t dating yet)

The first time character A tells character B they’re beautiful/pretty/handsome/gorgeous in a very sincere and soft tone as if in awe of character B

TRUAMA-BONDING 

Go through me trope (no one talk to me about this one, it is flawless)
