i love when characters that are always the one protecting others, staying strong for them, putting others first- get to be taken care of. get to fall apart, get to be soft and vulnerable, get to be protected and loved just as fiercely as they protect and love the people they care about

yea found family is great but yknow what i love
the extremely underdone concept of watching a fictional show as a child, but the character you were so infatuated with as a child was sentient, and one day when you’re older you watch it again, and the fictional character remembers you and cares for you and says stuff like “its you!” and “you’ve gotten so big!”
kinda like angel hare and that one thing steve burns did after he left blues clues
i need this trope more present. everywhere

forget friends to lovers. forget enemies to lovers. give me frenemies to lovers. "friends" who secretly hate each other and are constantly plotting against the other, acting like friends on the outside. the more time they spend together, the more they start catching feelings.

One of my favorite tropes in fiction and one of the many reasons I love “Stranger Things” so much. 🥰

Me, an asexual: Why must there always be sex in fictional relationships
The relationship: Starts as enemies/rivals with benefits/hate sex then slowly ease into something more caring through their various sexual interactions until they truly make love instead of just fucking and form true bonds of affection/love with each other
Me, sobbing: A,,, And they were,,,, fucking (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

One of my favorite fictional thropes is when you know a character is doomed bc the story is being told in past tense but you can't help but hope for them to get a happy ending bc they tried so hard and they are so good and they deserve it so much and then they die in a heart shatering way and you are never the same again

Epistemology be like:
You know everything.
You know nothing.
You do not know enough.
You want to know all that there is to know.
You are content with what you know.
You know things now that you were never meant to know.
You know too much.
You refuse to admit that you still know so little.
You know less than you did before.
Knowledge is laughing at you from the sidelines, a bowl of popcorn in hand. Wisdom is nowhere to be found. God is currently doing paperwork.

The thing with immortal is that there's so much potential angst you could do with them.
One favourite way of mine is to make them spiral. Have a character become increasingly consumed by madness as they lose the one thing that make them human: dying.
Adewulf, my original character, is a son of bitch. Rude, jaded, overwhelmingly obnoxious, and just not a good person overall. When you lived a couple centuries, great achievements and outstanding accomplishments just looks dull.
It's definitely immortal's depression and that's his starting point in the story. Above all, he's a very selfish person because why should he care? Knock some people down a couple pegs just because he felt like it.
That is pure disrespect and it all stems from immortal's depression, specifically the apathy part of an immortal's life.
His journey is about growth, to finally relearn how to live after life has given you it's harshest challenge. What starts with selfishness ends with selflessness, an completely circle to how Adewulf's journey to be human once more- because again, he lost the ability to die, the one thing that all human have in common.
Idk, very exciting for an original character.

Can we bring back the bad boy trope but make him completely unhinged and goofy instead of strong and silent

Resolved sexual tension x Reunion
Sharing a bed x Enemies to lovers
Sick fic aka one being the other’s caring nurse x Slow burn
Everyone is gay x Platonic love
A+ parenting (and it’s not sarcastic) x Fake dating
Amnesia x Fluffiest fluff
Accidental kiss x Time travel
Reunion x Defying prophecies
First kiss x Angst
Meet cute x Snowed in/trapped
Established relationship x Sharing body heat
Making out as a distraction x Accidental kiss
Second chances x Hurt/Comfort
Blind date set up by mutual friends x OT3
Found families x Accidental child acquisition
And yes, the last one really happend. Perfection. Which ones have you written before or want to write?

my new fav steddie fanfic trope is where steve is the over protective mother of six trying to give a kids a sense of normalcy during the divorce and eddie is the functioning alcoholic father that caused the divorce in the first place. what a duo.

🙄🫠 When characters ignore their true feelings for someone and continue to be in a relationship with the wrong person <<<
Tumblr media
I’m sure eventually they’ll make the right choice, though. 😌

Everyone knows friends to lovers and enemies to lovers, and theyre fantastic, so why not combine them:
Friends to Enemies to Lovers 🗡❤️✨
Featuring:
since I dont have to worry about ruining our friendship anymore I guess I can openly court you now *lip bite*
We’ve been rendevousing in secret for weeks anyway, who says that has to change?
the romantic tension is so close to breaking I was practically asking you out when you betrayed us can we still date??
I had accepted that im in love with you and you might be with me??? and it was wonderful but now that you're evil all your flirting is making me want to cry because of my strong morals just come back pleasee
After a while of enemies to lovers tension with ex friend angst the villain asks the other to join them (bonus points if they dont ask their other friends)
