#thats like my favorite TROPE

[chrliekclly]

i lov shipping deetress its so funny like 'yes dee's leading a basically kidnapped waitress n w a bag over her head nd she also proceeds to rip th waitress' hair out of her skull to remove it then blames HER for it but look @ that full body contact arm over th shoulder walk look how th waitress leans nto her'

#deetress #dee reynolds #always sunny #iasip #chardee macdennis 2: electric boogaloo #waitress #screencap #i mean she rly didnt hav to lead her n like that tho she cd do this many othr ways nd accomplish th same thing #how she manhandles her n th janitor always mops twice fr instance #but here she grabs her whole self she rly snuggles her in... #man i lov when women despise each other literally quickest way to make me ship something my favorite trope forever #'oh u hate each other? im gonna scrutinize evry single thing u evr do w each othr nd point out n e time its contrary to those claims :3c' #like yes also just str8 up hatefucking type interactions r amazing but i lov DENIAL >:) #u like her but u dont realize it. or u dont want to realize it... #thats my fucking shit

i love dead characters. i love characters who were always dead, who die halfway through, who die in the end - characters who die and come back but in a way they're still dead bc their first life died with them & nothing will ever be the same & their coming back is a bandaid over a gaping wound & their own death haunts them-

#characters whose deaths haunts the narrative and the other characters #almost to the point where it feels like theyre still there #characters who continue to haunt everyone even After they come back #CHARACTER DEATH <3 #when done Correctly its sooooooo good its literally the best i love it when characters die Well #when you rewatch/reread and Notice that they were doomed from the start. they were always going to die #AGH AGH AGH AGH #im going to be honest my Favorite trope is characters who die and come back #bc - again - when done well its SO!!! FUCKING!! GOOD!!! #maybe they come back the same but no one else is and That changes them too #or they come back Different and it just makes them haunt the narrative / other characters More Intensely #anyway their resurrection just makes it hurt worse bc theyre Back but now everyone knows what its like to live without them #and they will forever be haunted by that Knowing. and understanding that they could lose them again so so easily #the terror! the dread! the persevering grief!! looking at someone wholly alive and seeing a ghost! seeing everything thats Not There! #ohhhh also shoutout to characters who die without Actually dying #they never lose their life but who they are Changes So Suddenly that its like they died. the person they were died #and someone else kept breathing #slamming my face into a waaaaallllllllll #death in fiction death in fiction DEATH IN FICTION!!!! #oh also shoutout to characters who die without dying and then Actually die and both haunt everything #prime example: anakin motherfucking skywalker. KING of haunting the narrative #absolutely unprompted #what has me thinking about this? well im always thinking about it BUT #ahsoka episode 5. my own characters. potentially welcome home (we'll see we'll see...) #character death my beloved <3 #there are so many ways to do it and do it Well <3 #and it kills me inside that 'killing for shock value' and 'character dies and everyone moves on' are so common #its so lame! and annoying!!! like cmon!!! get a grip! #we need CONSEQUENCES we deserve FORESHADOWING #we need their death to haunt the narrative so hard that rereading/rewatching is one big reminder that They Will Die!!!

Actually I think one of my favourite tropes is when character A is having a panic attack of sorts and their love interest guides them through the five senses exercise but when they ask them what they can see/feel/hear/smell they just say "You. Only you."

(Which ships this reminds me of and fic ideas in the tags)

#its so sweet but if I was the love interest id be like STICK TO THE PROGRAM BITCH I SAID 5 THINGS #or something #obviously much more gentle and caring than that #but still #trope #books #tropes #romance #just imagining this with my favourite ships #patrochilles #solangelo #valgrace #reading #idea #story idea #fic idea #i totally didnt do this a million times (twice) with my ocs no thats so silly hahaha #but seriously i think a solangelo fic of this would be v nice #favorite tropes #or valgrace would be so ouchies #like jason having a panic attack or something and not knowing what to do #and leo calmly helping him through it because its happened to him #and he doesnt want jason to go through it alone like he did #or leo having a panic attack and jason not knowing what to do but he remembers Reyna doing the five senses thing a lot #so he does it for leo and- #dont come near me in weak

[bruciemilf]

slides into ur inbox as a tim-liker not to start a fight but to genuinely ask if i could gently change ur mind👀👀 bc tim's not that bad if you'd give him a chance (he is very cringe tho

It's not that I don't like him!! But sometimes it just gets exhausting to see "he suffered so much to keep the big bad bat alive" takes like Alfred wasn't right there

#like im sorry if i was a grieving parent and people literally attacked me for not being rational and in the best state of mind #while im literally grieving my murdered child and some kid came into my life because he wants to be robin and keep batman going #yeah i would be a little irritated #but it feels so mean spirited of me in a way? because i never want to shit on someones character #also i just dont like the 'child is responsible for parent' trope at all and it just feels like tim is so martyrized by the fandom #but i also dont like the 'tim forced his way into the family blah blah blah' like. no he didn't. the whole point of tim to me is that #he doesnt NEED to be with the batfamily but he WANTS to be there bc he loves them #its kinda how i feel abt steph. i actually really that she doesn't want to be seen as Bruce's daughter #because steph never NEEDED a father thats her whole point i think #so basically i dont dislike tim. i would just be fine without him. but like -- my favorite batboy is jason so maybe thats why? #anyway moral of the story if a character makes you happy they make you happy and its no one elses business

[catboyfurina]

Idk what precisely to call it since honorifics aren't Pronouns but vertin using she/her while routinely being addressed as Lord, sir, etc is soooooooo 🥰 it's like mixed pronouns but not.

#beeep #i love reverse 1999 #like shes not a he him lesbian but like yknow !!! #theres not a quick and easy shortcut for it but shes definitely sapphic and im leaning more lesbian hc than bi tbh !!!! #(which btw bi women can also be gnc and use he him in a wlw way) #(i just think vertin lesbian) #(but i KNOW shes sapphic) #AND HOW SHES USUALLY a my lord SPECIFICALLY when addressed by the girl so down bad for her???? gay as fuck #<- this isnt spoilers bc all the women wont her #well okay thats not precisely true. but a great deal of them do #anyway. i just hope that it isnt a translation error bc goes crazy ahhhh #shes a gentleman..... #and also i think vertin needs to meet a guy who isnt evil bc (possibly nb) lesbian and trans guy bestie duo is one of my favorite tropes #but so far she only interacts with evil people and or girls that wont her 😔😔😔 #which is so valid but also 😔😔😔 vertin u need platonic friends too. friends that arent desperately hoping you will push them out of danger #and land on top of them and gaze into their eyes #(or just hoping to make out) #(there are both types of wonts her in this game) #(along with a secret third kind) #anyway #rhvjvdjgdjvbjdbkrbkdjb vertin #i have to. be a person. i have to be a person but instead my brain is just full of WOW GAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #anyway vertin has like. fancy oldtimey gentleman gnc going on #not so gnc by modern standards that it would make Certain People mad but enough that it is making Me very happy #and i just !!!!! cannot get over how genius it is to combine sheher pronouns with traditionally masculine terms of address!!!!!!! #shes so gender. not my gender but she has so much gender #i love vertin and i love regulus and i love druvis and i love the fool and i love tooth fairy who isnt out yet but i saw her in that one vid #eo #i was expecting to play this so casually like stick it on my phone and then i can do it while waiting for class when im there a few minutes #early but i do Not feel casual about this at all!!!!!!!!!!!! <- i think i got hyperfixated lads

[evillillad]

if u ever wanna know what puppet molly and persona molly is like, just watch this fucking video.

#sure hazbins cringe or w/e but like #nifty my beloved #my favorite character trope: gremlin #also if u like hazbin thats ok i dont actually care but i prefer helluva boss lmao #im cringe too its ok we can all be cringe #Youtube

[doctor-loboto]

tbh I will never get enough of fanwork where Loboto’s partner(s) express their love by helping him wash in the bathtub especially in a whump or hurt/comfort context because like oh my god you guys the bathtub is his happy place bathing is his love language he just wants to be in warm water with bubbles and floaty toys and have someone gently wash his back you guys

#psychonauts headcanon #favorite tropes #psychonauts fanfiction #caligoso loboto #my wip fic has a bathtub scene that is SOMEWHAT SPICY but in an AWKWARD WAY #i know everyone on tumblr is like #my villain sexyman is different! he’s so traumatized and he just wants to be taken care of! he’s baby! #BUT LOBOTO CANONICALLY IS THATS LIKE A MAJOR POINT OF HIS PERSONALITY #he wants to be validated and praised and know he’s doing a good job and get rewards and headpats even if he IS a criminal dentist #it’s on full display in the opening cutscene #there is a sad emotionally neglected little boy in his head #oops this went on too long sorry #anyway I rest my case

❝ Bulma has to be one of the most obnoxious women on this planet. ❞

#vegito // ✸ ic ✸ #/ he woke up & wanted to say something \ #/ reminder that my vegito doesnt like bulma much by default \ #/ i have him like this because its IC & im sick of the fandom's favoritism towards bulma \ #/ many ppl dont recognize how shes supposed to be the ''spoiled & vain rich woman'' trope \ #/ could she be written w more taste in canon? yea. but thats still what she's meant to be \ #/ and its annoying when ppl claim she's absolutely perfect; a ''queen''; but then...they put chi chi down \ #/ say she's the worse character. its frustrating ash \ #/ also. while vegito can grow to develop a more positive relationship w (a) bulma \ #/ i dont think i can ever ship him w her. unless magic is worked. sorry. \

I love them!!!

#my art #fanart #disney #femslash #disney femslash #minaisy #minnie x daisy #minnie mouse #daisy duck #tale of two witches #mickeys tale of two witches #gay witches are always fun!!! #and Minnie and Daisy have the cutest dynamic #such a top tier ship #very underrated #guess who has best friends to lovers as one of their favorite ship tropes lmao #I love them both platonically and romantically to be honest they are either way so good #there is something so magical about the way media portrays best friends 🥺💗 #the close bond and unconditional love in support gets me.. #like no matter in what you interpret it you cant deny the love thats there and I find that so beautiful 🥰 #minsy

The rise of "let people enjoy things" is single handedly the backbone of the rise of anti intellectualism

#i need to talk about this #disclaimer : im beyond terrible at putting my point across #so with that being said let me attempt at it #let's take look at the hate and misogyny women receive for liking a certain genre of books #that is so often simply countered with let people enjoy things #but we cannot let that narrative take over a whole as if critical thinking is “bad”? #booktok has made it so that disliking a popular books makes you the person with the superiority complex who should just let people enjoy- #-things #but when did criticizing actively target audiences who like that peice of literature? When did that become the narrative? #its all mindless consumption without a second thought to the actual material which can easily be credited to the tropification of books #the enemies do turn into lovers and the best friends do fall in love 10 years down the line #classifying books into tropes and then fulfilling that promise gives books an illusion of being “good” since it checks those boxes- #-that the reader picked up the book for in the first place #the act of reading has kind of been substituted by the act of being a reader and just owning stacks of books #we have turned away from any form of analysis or criticism #if it scratches the itch then its automatically the perfect book without further thought #i cant help but contribute the mere existence of that “itch” to how mordern books are classified into tropes with set plotlines #intelligenctualism is almost always looked at as elitism #reading only classics doesn't make you an intellectual individual but looking at any book with a critical lens may it be a classic or a rom #-com does #criticizing certain aspects of your absolute favorite books is intellectualism and not bullying people who like anything but classics #that distinction is so far lost in translation that talking about how a popular book is objectively bad is being a “hater” #well then im a hater #this is not a hate post for people who actively enjoy booktock or the more popular books #im just trying to introduce any amount of nuance into the conversation thats all #i can honestly go on forever but i think ill end my ranting here #literary criticism #literature #books #anti intellectualism

[waterlogged-detective]

I really need to draw wines at some point

#hes my favorite #his interactions are always fun #and yes i know hes definitely horrible and dangerous etc etc #listen #thats my favorite trope #oh gods i just realized he acts like someone i rp on discord fuck #ven diagram is almost a circle goddammit #yall can tell if im at work by how much i post #is boring

[axe-cution]

Felt awful and changed my domestic au Clint moss design and made him chubbier and now I feel so much better

#Clint is super duper short to me! he’s my height. and thusly he has a slower metabolism than most #so he gains weight rather easily #so in my interp of cannon I think he’s much thinner bc he just. does not eat #some fucked up misguided obsessive view of ‘honor’. he thinks he shouldn’t eat because of resources…or some shit #also it’s the apocalypse . the resources thing is probably true. #so in my friend’s domestic au I think because he doesn’t feel any post-apocalypse hell obligations he’s fat bc again. very short. slow #metabolism. probably on some medicine to manage his disability that also makes him gain weight . #he’s so much happier. because that’s my favorite trope #ever! #and as I’m drawing him I realize ‘WOW he looks quite different from my interp of Clint moss in canon’ and #I THINK THATS THE POINT!!! #I don’t know #Clint moss is my fucked up evil baby and I love him like a father would /j #also as a fat disabled fuck I felt like projecting onto him more

[sailoryooons]

Here is my brain rot for the night while I lay on my couch and think of the 200 million things that I want to write and what I really want to write soon are two people so in love that they would literally burn the entire world down for one another and are so singularly invested in one another's survival anyway that's my self-indulgent fic trope in my head tonight toodaloo

#just hali things #like tbh one of my favorite fantasy romance tropes r two warriors who would damn the universe for one another #thats the shit that gets me fucking going

[todayisafridaynight]

my favorite aspect of fanart of the arakawas is the unspoken universal agreement to have arakawa embody this (❁´◡`❁) kaomoji im so 1000% rn

#snap chats #LIKE TOP TEN FANART TROPES IM TIRED OF BEING A HATER #that and people giving daigo pretty eyelashes but this aint bout him #maybe its just the vibe nakai brought to the mocap studio but i genuinely love it so much cause Yeah....

[huntersapprentice]

I don't know if it's evident, but I love it when characters are short and filled with irritation and anger

#hunter when he says anything #one of my favorite character tropes #also: thats me! #Im pretty sure donald duck was the blue print of why I even like this trope to begin with

[a-lonely-tatertot]

Honestly i wasnt sure what i was getting into at the start of the movie but the MOMENT that they didnt make ambrosius an asshole or an idiot after introducing him as the "Golden Boy" i knew that it was gonna be good

#like genuinely thats my least favorite trope ever #and like all if the characters are just so fucking well written and none of them fall into horrid traps #and you can just feel this that the generational fear has created a terrified population that cant help but HURT people #they dont mean to but theyre scared and nimona's scared so its scared people hurting scared people #and god i have so many thoughts about this movie i wish i was a coherent person #tater rambles
