@yuuugay tagged me to do a Thing 🦖 thank you for the tag, it was fun!!! As usual, I spent way too much time on this shdgjsd

Tagging @hampsdesu @amyreads and @snail-of-fire — I'm curious about your trope preferences, but no need to do it if you'd prefer not to 🥰💐

#yes i have an undying hatred for love triangles #like the clenching fist kind of hatred #everytime i read something in the moth to flames tier #i have to take a two week break to recover #i say i hate them but i keep coming back to them 😔 #also yes to the gen fic trope #i actually don't like stories centred primarily around romance that much... esp when other characters are reduced to foils in the process #regarding unrequited love: it's complicated #perhaps it's because of how pragmatic i can be when it comes to my own emotions but #it frustrates me watching someone continuously pine over a person incapable of returning their feelings #ngl i'd probably be the irreverent scoundrel who swoops in and proposes a fling with Pining Character A to help them move on 😔🤌🏼 #/j #unrequited love for an ex gets a pass. as well as other circumstances. it really depends on how the story handles it #if they're only there so the readers can coo over how deeply devoted they are... then no. ffs let them move on #if the story somehow manages to make their unrequited love complex and doesn't turn it into the character's entire personality #and acknowledges that fixating on someone so much is probably a terrible awful idea but they'll do it anyway because they're an utter fool #then fine. i'll be a hater all the way but i'll be heckling them more lovingly #aspen rambles.txt #tags
