Okay there's many popular fandom tropes that I Do Not Vibe With,but one of the ones that just most makes me go 'what a fucking waste' is the tendency for people to look at a dynamic, like, centered and based around a betrayal or hatred born of curdled love or frayed ties or being tragically at odds because of their most strongly held principles and then go 'yeah but what if every single fanwork you ever see in your life were vaguely sketched AUs where nothing ever went wrong and we replaced the central dramatic motor of the entire thing with quirky cafe dates or having fun at a waterpark or something?'
