#just tropey things

[artfulacrostic]

the original series of star trek is absolutely my favorite thing bc every episode is like:

-kirk manhandles a penis shaped rock prop for a very long time

-spock dances flamenco

-sulu fences down the hallway shirtless

-episode plot is kirk v massive sentient lump

-kirk tries to explain spock's ears as a childhood accident where he got his head caught in a mechanical rice picker

-on an unrelated note, spock starts wearing a beanie

-redshirts get turned into like. cubes of salt

-uhura defeats a giant green hand by hotwiring the entire comms console

-spock and kirk hold hands

-scotty stops chekov from starting a bar fight with klingons only to immediately start one himself bc the love of his life (the enterprise) gets insulted

-mccoy's fantasies involve meeting characters from alice in wonderland, including a giant anthropomorphic rabbit

-spock's alien sex drive episode

-kirk gets bodyswapped

-gladiator fight episode (1)

-gladiator fight episode (2)

-gladiator fight episode (3)

AND YET, every episode is ALSO like:

-war cannot be reduced to numbers from an outside perspective, because that makes it easier to stomach without change; the horror that is war must be acknowledged in order to make room for peace

-more types of life can be extant than we can conceive, and just because they are different forms of life doesn't make them incapable of prospering

-love cannot be programmed or controlled, and discriminatory hatred is a tool only for death and pain

-cultures that are different than our own are valuable and can be vibrantly rich with history, and judging them before we try to understand and empathize is not only reductive but contemptible

-happiness is something that we have to allow ourselves, and actively seek out, because it can't come to us without work and acknowledgement of our own state of being

-genocide can never be justified, and certainly not even to supposedly save the people that are more "valuable" by any given metric over those who are not, because all lives have worth

anyway the balance of absurdity and meaningfulness gives me life, and we haven't even gotten started on the whale movie lmao

sorry im emotonal and going off of the other asks sent about machete and just i need to stress how beautiful it is to me that machete sees himself so undeserving of love and affection and feeling as if vasco's too good for him but despite all that he is so incredibly devoted to vasco and loving towards him (in his own way) but is so incredibly clear to anyone with eyes that just how in love he is with vasco. like it's not done out of a "oh god please never realize that you're too good for me here here let me overdo it with the affection" its done with the "i love you, and will always love you, no matter what happens to us or separates us, and i will give it to you as long as i am able, and if you ever leave, i won't be okay, but will still love you, and want you happy". like he doesn't use his own feelings of being undeserving taint his love or the way he loves for vasco, and it's so, so beautiful

.

#;M; #oauhh #that's so sweet I'm in shambles and so glad to hear all of that #sometimes I worry about whether I'm communicating their chemistry correctly #it would be so easy for this sort of relationship to gain suffocating and possessive and overall just abusive tones #and even though you could argue it would be a source for juicy drama I just don't want that #Machete could selfishly exploit Vasco's care and altruism without giving anything in return #or worse let his paranoia and jealousy get the better of him and end up destroying them both because if he can't have Vasco no one can #and Vasco could leverage his influence over Machete to manipulate and use him because out of them two he's the more mentally stable one #and it would be easy to take advantage of Machete's vulnerability obedience and his trust that Vasco would never harm him #but I don't know maybe it's a bit tropey and idealistic but I really just want these dogs to be genuinely good for each other #they have so many things working against them already I don't wish to see them backstab each other as well #they have a bit of a 'us against the world' thing going on which I really like #they're not perfect there's issues they're trying to work on but the will to get through it together is there #and I want to make it seem like they wouldn't hesitate to prioritize the other one's happiness and wellbeing at their own expense #if it came to that #anwered #anonymous

this may be an unpopular opinion, but i personally think that jeff and britta should've gotten married back in season 3 and just dealt with the consequences of that action for the rest of the show

#is that tropey? yes. would they very likely just get divorced? yes. do i care? NO #give me jeffbritta arguing about cohabitation. britta has cats jeff has to learn to live with bc it's cheaper to live together. #give me domestic moments the two of them share ABSOLUTELY IGNORING that this is a Thing married couples do #give me them slowly realizing they LIKE being married to each other #britta still talks about the institution of marriage being a scam and misogynistic and annie's like "you're married?!?!' #and britta's like 'yes and...?' #basically it's slowburn jeffbritta but they're already married and refuse to get divorced because they like the tax benefits #community #community nbc #jeff winger #britta perry #jeffbritta #redstreet

i don't even mind aus in other fandoms (if done well and still characterized properly) but i just cannot deal with how obsessed mcyt fans are with aus instead of just writing in-canon stuff and particularly for spiderbit there is SO much to talk and write about involving them and so few good fics that i'm like please can we all write regret arc tension fics can we talk about them reuniting can we delve into how they feel about being co-parents and about their future and and and and

#bell.txt #sorry to people who like aus i totally get that this is more of a me thing i just cannot deal with them atp #like some tropey ones sure im down for some fae shit or whatever #but i just want canon-compliant or lightly canon divergent stuff so bad #if we had more of that i probably wouldn't mind aus so much

[creation-help]

Do you have an oc that you kinda wanna kill off but can't bring yourself to, for whatever reason?

#Oc asks #Oc questions #Oc stuff #Oc prompts #I just KNOW what people are gonna reply to this but hear me OUT #I have one who I sometimes just. Do not like. Like the oc feels too cliche and tropey and everything #And it'd be more interesting to kill them off #But I know that would mess up alot of story things #I don't hate this oc but sometimes I do. But the oc is still like. Kinda dear to me? Idk #Does anyone understand

[fitzrove]

[shaking and biting] but what does it MEAN. what does it SAY what is the THEME

#akkdlflf i watched this long lecture video abt austrian national identity and the researcher said 'the austrians are quite adept at #selling the austro hungarian monarchy back to tourists incl ones from former parts of the empire... but even in the imperial nostalgia they #don't want back multilingualism or multiculturalism or any of what it actually was' #(it was a lot abt the way in which austria deals with orban's hungary in and after the 2015 refugee crisis) #ajskgldo and that just made me think about... how pointless some things feel. both in fiction and in academic research #you CAN say meaningful things about almost any topic and with almost any argument! but in some strands of history trying to 'uncover events' #with no exploration of the context and what it all MEANS and what the things we think about it mean #is the most prevalent and popular type of research :/ like there's a reason i overrely on hamann's bio of rudolf because her central thesis #is that he wasnt a crazy murderer but someone with a forward-thinking political vision that went as far as suggesting a sort of 'proto-EU' #among other things #so like. she is looking at what it all MEANS!!! #and like. my favourite todolf fanfics are also like that 😂😭 perhaps not abt politics but about suffering and power dynamics and guilt #same for original fiction. i'm never happy if a book i'm reading isnt saying something #or then again - this is more personal pickiness but. they should also be saying something NEW AND INTERESTING #a lot of the time. sometimes if you have a fave trope you can just enjoy it over and over #but idk even tropey stuff can say things #ajlsldkfkf i'm just so tired of kitsch in all its forms and also of bad science

[bogkeep]

so lately there's been some backlash towards the marketing/recommendation style that's just "hey read this book it has a gay main character" without explaining the plot or even the genre, MAYBE listing a bunch of popular tropes like they're ao3 tags. and i absolutely agree that this is very annoying because it gives zero impression of a book/game/whatever, and it seems to be fairly common practice in spaces like tiktok or webtoon...

but if i had a nickel for every time i've seen a creator answer an ask that goes "UHHH YOU'RE NOT DESCRIBING YOUR BOOK VERY WELL IF ALL YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT IT'S QUEER, WHAT'S THE PLOT HUH" i would have more than two nickels. and if i had a nickel for every time that author does in fact have many easily available blurbs and descriptions of their work, i would also have more than two nickels. like at this point every writer who talks openly about their story having queer/polyamorous/trans characters gets hit with the "BUT WHAT'S IT ABOUT" accusations. like............. authors have always gotten backlash for writing queer characters and relationships, this isn't different just because it's under a new guise.

it's not bad to talk about the characters' identities! a lot of people are looking for diverse stories! sometimes those identities are very plot relevant! what seems to happen frequently is that someone learns about a book/series/game through a viral post or fans hyping it up, and if identity first recommendation is what gets the most virality and attention, that's not the author's fault? if you can find their ask box you can probably find their profile or pinned post or whatever. nor would it hurt to approach with some more good faith curiosity rather than antagonistic gotchas.

#i know i know just a small fraction of people Do This but it's peeving my pet #and the listing tropes thing is like... well tropes are the building blocks of stories. #every description of a story is tropey. #honestly all of this sounds like a tiktok problem #...actually any time im curious about a media the first place i look it up is tvtropes. i tend to find their descriptions pretty helpful

[james-p-sullivan]

i am so character driven when it comes to media, i don’t care if the plot is a half brained bonanza if you have compelling characters i will sit through whatever garbage you want to put them through and i will enjoy every second of it

#i think this is why i like cartoons #plots are usually very tropey with things you’ve seen a million times #but often the characters themselves will have great nuance and that’s what keeps it fresh-ish #i just like characters ☺️ #sulley speaks

[ninawolv3rina]

Do I LOVE tropes and arrows maps as a concept? No. Are they fun as hell to make? Yes?!?

Anyways here's what you can expect if you grab a copy of The Unwanted Prophet. Sound interesting? You can get it here!

#if u wanna know why i dont love these kinds of images its mostly just the fact that the actual plot is almost never listed #and the plot is to me the reason i read books #but ive accepted that other people are looking for specific things when they read #and this WAS fun to make #so have a tropey boy #my stuff #the unwanted prophet #book #self published #writing community #writer #author #fantasy book #fantasy author #fantasy novel

[merlinmerlot]

I could play one of the most beautiful well crafted video games on the planet and it will never be as appealing to me as one that kind of sucks shit but has soooo much potential

#merlin.txt #just finished cyberpunk #i feel like they could have done sooo much more with the concepts they had #the game showed us a bit of everything in the world but i dont think they explored any one topic enough #and they pulled a ton of punches. the ending did not feel like this big 'grab your allies and fuck the corpos' thing it shouldve been #it was mostly just tying up johnnys loose end. one big loop. which i fuck with; but it wasnt rlly anticapitalist at all in that sense #i have a bunch of other thoughts on johnny but ill save it #but god. the beginning (act 1 and the first bits of act 2) where just soooo fucking good #and it rlly felt like it was going to gear up into this huge thing instead of just being one last hurrah for rogue and johnny #AUUUGHH theres just So Much Potential. goddamn #imo i think the major thing is that at some point it stopped being v's story. it was everyone elses #he has Very little agency. which is interesting but man this guy deserves better #when it comes down to it the game Is really shallow. whenever there is any sincerity in themes its very centrist #the fact is you dont rlly meet many characters in game who are Truly working to take down corps except for johnny and he doesnt rlly count #and if there Are its usually played for irony and laughs (looking at kerry) or theyre flat out kind of awful. #judys story is probably the best of the companions bc shes actively trying to help sex workers and its played very positively #i also think two of the main themes (letting go of the past; what it means to die) are Majorly helped by some incredible emotional beats #and w/o some just Really Really good scenes and good repetition of lines and motifs its very tropey. #ok i wasnt going to write a full thing. but let me be clear: i fucking loved this game. i would not be writing so much if i did not love it #the sun ending was Still soooo vindicating. v is still kicking and that's all that matters to me #(it helps that v is a Great protag like one of the Best voiced rpg protags next to hawke da2) #(which is kind of a funny comparison since i think both protags suffer from a lack of agency) #ok im done now

Watching Making myself sit through Moffat's Who, trying to give it a decent chance and I can't stand it already. Y'know why?

The stupid fucking love triangle.

Because not only is it just generally annoying as a trope, but it is so poorly written here. It takes over the show in a really obnoxious way and completely flanderizes characters who, in the first episode, were decent people.

Rory is portrayed as a fool for being... concerned that his fiance is cheating on him with the not-actually-imaginary friend she's been obsessed with since childhood, who she ran off with and kissed (A normal thing to be concerned about!!). And just generally, he's portrayed as a bumbling idiot. As the one who just gets confused and makes one-liners about being insecure. And both Amy and the Doctor just brush him off, leave him behind! Mocked by the woman who's supposed to be there for him and abandoned by the Doctor who's meant to keep him safe. He's being reduced to basically just comic relief here, and it sucks.

The Doctor is so.. aloof. More so than 10 and DEFINTELY moreso than 9. He's a silly, childish man who often fails to recognize the emotional consequences of his actions. He has his emotional moments, yes, but a lot of his writing falls victim to what I call "Sherlock Syndrome." When Moffat just writes an aloof super genius and expects the audience to fawn over him because he has good outfits and witty one-liners. Matt Smith is a fantastic actor and he carries a lot of his run, but putting glitter on a turd doesn't stop it being a turd.

Amy is yet another victim of the "every woman falls madly in love with the Doctor" pitfall. Worked with Rose, got old with Martha and after that almost every one-off woman who flirted with him just made me roll my eyes. Her obsession and anger with the Doctor didn't have to be romantic, but Moffat just couldn't resist writing a "strong female protagonist" who's sexy and she knows it, who loves having all the boys fawn over her and flirts without a care in the world. Who's a brash girlboss in charge of her boys, but who also turns into a sobbing damsel in distress at the slightest sign of danger.

All three of these characters are so blatantly characatures of themselves right now that it takes me out of it. They're all just quippy one-liners of their smartness or their brashness or their insecure foolishness. Can these types of people exist in real life? Yeah. But the way they're written about here is just obnoxious. I'm willing to accept that later Moffat seasons might be better than this (at least on the interpersonal conflict side of things), but it's season 1 and he's already dropping the ball so hard.

We could've gotten something truly marvelous, with a PLATONIC conflict based on the Raggedy Man from her childhood finally coming back and offering her freedom from a boring adult life. She's enamored with him, but doesn't entirely trust him because hey, he massively fucked up once already. Maybe Rory is concerned about his place in Amy's life, and Amy tries to be comforting. Maybe she messes up, maybe she says the wrong thing. Maybe she says the wrong thing right before losing Rory to the crack in space and time. But she has to try, because why should I care about a relationship where one person doesn't care about the other's happiness, at least a little? And right now it just feels like she doesn't.

I'm not saying shows shouldn't have interpersonal conflicts and flawed protagonists. They should! But to pull that off well, you have to make us want to see these characters grow. You have to give us a reason to enjoy watching these characters interact, even at their low points. And revisting Moffat's run as an adult, I don't feel enjoyment. I just feel annoyed.

#also all the flashbacks to the cracks in time. like sir we're not stupid #we can remember that thing that happned two episodes ago without visual reminders #also we don't need the doctor and amy to exposition monologue about how scary the crack in time is every damn time they see it #we know that its a crack in space and time and that its scary #also i feel like he overrelies on the Epic Monologue #they can be really impactful and cool #but already they're feeling overused #matt and karen and arthur tried their damn hardest and i don't blame them #but wow moffat just wrote a really tropey muddled season #i see why i remembered rtd's run so much clearer #because there was so much more worth remembering #doctor who #new who #11th doctor #matt smith #amy pond #rory williams

every time i try to explain what fireborne is about i just end up making it sound like the most cliched tropey YA fantasy every. and like. yeah it is YA and yeah it does use tropes, because neither of those things are bad actually, but it is in no way whatsoever that specific brand of tropey YA fantasy. like genuinely it could not be more different in so many ways. and yet!! i try to describe the plot and it sounds exactly like that.

#this is why instead i just say 'it has dragons' and 'it's so smart' and 'it gives me brainworms' #and i think this is mostly just a me thing because i don't even think the plot sounds That Much like that style of tropey YA? #but i cannot describe it in a way that does not sound like that #the aurelian cycle

Reading the spoilers of otome light novels always be like, "Wow, people really hate men."

#rambles #I KNOW I COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS A LOT OKAY LEAVE ME ALONE #I JUST........... #NUANCE #PEOPLE HATE NUANCE AND IT SUCKS #PEOPLE HATE COMPLEXITY #AND MOSTLY #people hate stereotypical tropey men that are specifically written that way for the trope #'i hate how possessive and dismissive he is of mc!!!' #it's the same level of idiocy as going to the circus and being mad at the clowns #if you want to read a story about the perfect politically correct male lead find some chronically online girl's book on tiktok #like look okay let me be honest here #when i go to isekai manhwa as my medium of entertainment choice i embody those middle aged women reading smutty novels abt guys named knut #i don't go in expecting quality okay i'm not an idiot #i go in expecting a specific fix to be filled #and if that specific fix is a possessive dismissive male lead then by the almighty god himself one must do as one must #now let me be clear like.... i am complaining about two things here #one: readers don't like nuanced complex men #two: readers do not like genre-specific stereotypical men #these two things are not the same okay #possessive stereotypical men are not nuanced or complex... BUT BY JOVE THEY HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO EXIST #SHITTY STEREOTYPICAL MEN ARE JUST AS ENJOYABLE AS NUANCED AND COMPLEX MEN #it's so funny that people go into otome manhwa expecting q u a l i t y #this is the modern woman's equivalent of those trashy novels our grandmothers read #we are no better than them #i really just want to go into reading spoilers where everyone is on the same page of 'okay so we all just have terrible taste amiright' #tho tbh writing all of this i should be more forgiving of people that love crappy reader-inserts on this website #but lmao no i am not i have way better taste than they ever will whoops u//w//u

[darcyolsson]

i literally can't decide of the shadowhunters tv show girlbossified isabelle or degirlbossified her. she was already very hashtag girlboss but i think what it comes down to is that they made her less #girl and more #boss so where does that leave us

#i think isabelle is definitely the character who changed the most to the books! i thought it was clary but it's her for sure #book isabelle is a lot more ditzy and rude than show isabelle she just says things #and show isabelle is far more independent and skilled than book isabelle #i feel like book isabelle is a bit more tropey and a bit less three dimensional esp in the first 3 books #which also has to do w the fact that she wasnt a narrator/main character in those books but still #however i think book isabelle got to be more genuinely flawed and in turn we get to see her overcome that #in a way we dont get to see show isabelle overcome any personal flaws bc she's already a very functional person #vic reads tmi

What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.

MY BAD it has taken me a little while to get to every fic writer question ive been asked pfft but i appreciate all of them and theyre really fun to answer :o and alright ok common things—character psychology is a big thing in all of my work :o aa every time i write a characters pov i try to do at least some research into their personality, backstory, etc etc bc my writing is almost always like?? character study type things?? i Really like delving deep into how characters think!!! :o so a lot of my works are like. you Will hear almost every thought in their head HAH. ive been told i have a very recognizable writing style widndnd but i do try to switch up internal dialogue at least a little bit depending on the pov character. i dont know how effective i am at that but i try HAH plus i think its fun trying to capture how someone thinks in the same way that youd try to capture how they speak in their dialogue. i think the most obvious example is probably my recent reinhard stuff—i tried to sound more formal with him? even with little kid reinhard i wrote his internal dialogue kind of formally because i figured that Might be able to create that bit of Dissonance that reinhard has as a character, you know? hes uncanny.

and uh because i focus on internal dialogue a lot, by the nature of things i kind of Have To slap the unreliable narrator tag on the vast majority of my fics HAH but unreliable narrators are fun and i love playing with them!! and i think its realistic in the sense that even a character thats very fair and just and honest may still have the wrong information at times or have emotion cloud their judgment or be a little unreliable for those reasons. that and i tend to pick the mentally fucked characters (which is pretty easy with the rezero cast HAH) whenever i write Very detailed internal dialogue so!!! unreliable narration and spirals into madness it is!!! i just really like exploring like. the humanity behind each character and all their nuances <3 and i Love having to squint at internal dialogue and add that up with a characters thoughts and actions and figure out who this person Actually Truly Is Like?? its like a puzzle :o !!

as for themes. i went into this a lot in another fic writer ask thingy but Definitely like. when characters change as a result of shit hitting their fan and/or their own choices and now theyre Different from the person they used to be. they came back wrong so now what are they going to do? how are the people around them going to treat them now? how will they treat the people around them? i just really like going into like. identity crisis… and um…. suffering that triggers massive self searching bc. the character changed in some way in order to survive through it physically and/or mentally. like seeing characters change for the worse and seeing them either try to crawl their way out or they. keep going down. it can be hopeful or very tragic!!! (bc i love hurt/comfort and tragedy a lot ajdnd) and complicated relationships are a huge favorite of mine to tackle. fascinating multi-layered stuff that i want to study under a microscope!!! i like when multiple contradictions exist within a dynamic or like. a character and their journey. the complexity feels very real to me and i find it intriguing :o

i also love queer themes but due to um. some of the toxicity in this fandom i do hesitate to do stuff with that in this fandom but i DO love queer themes its just not in most of my work atm but thatll change eventually 👍 ill at least slip in a little bit every chance i get 👍👍 (i have exactly one fic with queer themes atm wjdnd)

motifs/random imagery i use a lot also!!!! mostly bc i find them cool and fun but. yes theyre there for a reason. in my first pride otto fic i used second person pov and avoided using his name at points to emphasize that hes 1. being dehumanized and 2. hes dehumanizing himself too as a result. i uhh have also used star related things for subaru a lot bc Of Course. butterflies and moths for emisuba things…. economics themed titles for my pride otto multichap…. bugs for general pride if things…. comparing the knights uniform to bird wings in my reinhard and heinkel fic… i like to describe outfits in general too (pride otto vs main ottos outfits, also felix not wearing blue in the 2 seconds of screentime he has in my pride if fics atm wkdndn) etc etc :o

#this is such a long response but wkdndnd hope this all made sense HAH #i almost decided to study psychology in college!!! atm i am not doing that but it is still a possibility i suppose. #i have no idea what im doing. but anyway!!! yes this is a good summary of the stuff i usually like writing pfft #i will like the skrunkliest characters im so sorry thats why i keep otto and heinkel posting KANDNDND #but it IS nice writing side character content if only bc ur one of the only people doing it in the fandom on ao3 so its almost kind of?? #free reign??? they dont have as much like. fanon tropey things bc theyre not as Big. u know?? so absolute freedom to go buck wild writing #fic for them wofndndnd #and im also so starved of content ill make it myself just so i dont starve 👍 #like its def a little less of an uphill battle to write uh for example. otto pov vs emilia pov. bc at least with otto pov i dont feel like #im fighting against loud fandom opinion + tappeis opinion. if that makes sense. #like i try to be as canon compliant as possible at all times but WHAT do i do with emilia is 14 yrsand 18 yrs and 100+ yrs at the same time. #sometimes i want tappei to shut up a bit HAH #i do hope to see more content for side characters tho fr 🙏🙏 otto fics where are u… #ask #and also rip if ur writing in depth content involving any rezero kids bc u have a 99% chance of having to wade through tappei being weird #about kids. cries.

i’ve joked around a couple times that starkid is really remarkably good at making me care about the romantic couples in their works, and it’s true— across more than a dozen musicals, mini-sodes and other works, many of them featuring several romantic couples, there are only a few that i don’t feel some form of fondness for, which is such an impressive feat

and nowadays, there are good few couples who are substantially better written and developed than their older couples… but, man. i just rewatched starship for the first time in a couple years and i really and truly do not think anyone is ever gonna beat out tootsie megagirl (née noodles) and megagirl for me. there are couples starkid has created that are more well written, who have been explored in more interesting ways, who are more tragic or who heal each other better—there are couples that are on paper, stronger. but i think, for me, nothing can beat that incredible dynamic of a sweet, kind, dopey guy who is as dumb as a bag of rocks falling for a human-hating robot, and stubbornly telling her she’s beautiful and important and so real to him, no matter what anyone says. just affirming over and over that he believes she’s incredible and real and good and capable of love, asserting that wouldn’t hurt him, even when she’s been ordered to do so and is struggling against that programming, and having all this genuine earnestness make her realize she’s fallen for him too. it’s just such a peak dynamic

#and they were even both nonbinary….. #I love ‘the way I do’ and the ‘your first name is what you do and your second name is what you love’ as much as the next person truly #but the exchange that always kills me is just #‘you could love me? even though i am a robot? even though i am not….. real?’ #‘real? the feelin’ I get when I’m close to you when all my hairs stand up? that’s real!’ #‘oh-oh and the fuzzy giggles i get in my noggin when you talk about killin’ things?’ #‘aw SHIT GIRL that’s real!!!’ #with him so worked up and in love he’s like vibrating #idk they’re so tropey but it works so well #they’ve got that secret sauce to me
