Our Flag Means Death Season 2 - one gif per episode (with the first gif from their first scene and the last gif from their last scene) | Jim Jimenez

[loisfreakinglane]

@queenofattolia OOOOH MY FAVORITE THROUPLES!!!!!!!!! SMASH THAT READ MORE BUTTON

ben/maddie/ryn ~ siren (never forgive never forget that breakup, they were PERFECT. that show ended with season 2 and i will NEVER EVER EVER forgive season 3's crimes)

kala/rajan/wolfgang ~ sense8 (we were denied a full series arc of them getting together, but frankly i didn't feel it was rushed in the finale. it still felt organic TO ME, largely bc the chemistry between rajan and wolfgang was impeccable immediately)

eliot/hardison/parker ~ leverage (can you believe there's people who watch leverage that don't ship this?!!?!?! there are human beings out there who ship eliot/parker with zero hardison involvement. BAFFLED, FRIENDS)

angel/buffy/cordy ~ btvs/ats (i'm sorry this is based on my own brain falling into the depths of madness when s6/s3 were airing and i was banned from watching buffy so i was reading the transcripts on buffyworld and left to stew over how much i wanted buffy and dawn and tara to flee to la and never look back, while also falling in love with cangel and thinking about how much those three would fit perfectly together, buffy and cordy as two sides of the same coin, just always out of step with the others parallel heroic journey, how much bangel would work so much more for me when it's damaged adults coming together and also raising their impossible blue eyed kids together also connors never kidnapped also also faith moves into the hyperion too and gunn and fred never break up the end okay i'll stop now)

the princess, the prince, and the mermaid ~ the little mermaid (i was infected by the novel mermaid: a twist on the classic tail (heh) in my youth- christopher, lenia, and margrethe had a fascinating relationship i fell in love with. and now!!!!!!!! watching older adaptations of tlm, seeing the interactions between the three of them always intrigue me so hard. pre-disney the princess is allowed to be sweet and kind to the mermaid, if somewhat patronizing to the mute young girl. and when the mermaid fades away, her body in foam and her soul off to heaven, she lays a kiss on the grieving princess's head AND I DIE)

elizabeth/neal/peter ~ white collar (IT WAS SUCH A FUN TRIO I STAND BY THIS CHOICE! also at the time it was extraordinarily refreshing of fandom to not immediately despise and vilify the woman standing between their slash ship. and i adored the canon and the fanon so tbh! this will always stick out as a classique ot3 to me!)

irma/marion/miranda ~ picnic at hanging rock (why aren't we frolicking in oz, wearing white gowns and eating picnic treats RIGHT NOW? anyway they're in love, they're so in love they fell into an alternate dimension)

ann/ben/leslie ~ parks and recreation (am I the only person who was tearing my hair out during ann's search for a sperm donor bc why did leslie never offer up ben's specimen!?!?! she is OBSESSED with ann and way too invasive and beyond controlling and I think way too much about that episode where ben and ann are fighting over the wafflemaker for one of leslie's insane random holidays, then end it off by coming together to make leslie STOP with the incessant celebrations and presents? anyway they should have all wound up together. and not just bc chris was terrible)

huoxin/jing/xiaowei ~ painted skin the resurrection (the lady demon, the princess, and the bodyguard. this trio was EVERYTHING. the demon fixated on the princess and her heart, the princess desperately in love with her bodyguard turned general but clinging to shame over her facial scars, the general who runs from his failure to protect her. ADD IN BODYSWAP SHENANIGANS AND I LOSE MY MIND EVERY TIME.)

ezra/jules/richie ~ imposters (possibly partially queerplatonic bc i'm not exactly sure where jules lies on ye olde kinsey scale, but even if it's platonic on her part i'm incredibly in love with this trio and i SO see it as a working throuple LEAVE ME ALONE)

elizabeth/olive/william ~ professor marston and the wonder women (whether you believe the historical accuracy of this movie or not, this throuple is fucking awesome and i adooooooore them)

gwen/mj/peter ~ marvel comics (i'm so sick of thinking about spider-man rn bc *waves hand at mcu* HOWEVER it would feel disingenous to leave this off my list. i love these three, i love them together so much.)

alex/hal/tom ~ being human uk (the way these characters brought new life to this era of bhuk. these three are in LOVE)

chel/miguel/tulio ~ the road to el dorado (baby's first ot3)

kirk/spock/uhura ~ star trek (THE KELVIN TIMELINE!!!!!!!!!!! THEY'RE SO MUCH. still mourning a fic that was deleted off ao3....... sad bean bear city)

art/patrick/tashi ~ challengers (THEEEEEEEEEEEE PINNACLE! there are ppl who cast tashi as the villain of the story and think art and patrick will flee her when the credits roll, and i am so glad i am not surrounded by those types. this is a love story where every person is desperately needed to complete the triad. they just don't work without all 3 of them)

clark/lana/lex ~ smallville (LOOK LOOK LOOK. SHUT UP. anyway i rewatched this show with my father at the height of the pandemic and lana/lex hit hard in a way it never had before, so now i'm p equally obsessed with every side of this triangle and now i want to smash them all together so bad. THIS IS HOW TO FIX EVERYTHING.)

gaby/ilya/napoleon ~ the man from uncle (ready made ot3, i can't be mad)

mylene/shaolin/zeke ~ the get down (did mylene and shaolin hate each other? uhhhhhhh yep. HOWEVER. THAT ALLOWED FOR SOME FUCKING GREAT TENSION. and they were both equally in love with zeke so like............ i wanted it so bad

i'm SURE i'm missing very important ones, but these are my broad strokes 💗💗💗

ALSO LOOK AT THEM!!!!!!!!! TELL ME YOU DON'T SHIP THEM IMMEDIATELY

Homestuck character who doesn't get enough love?

i have been stalking this ask, formulating my plan of attack, jumping from branch to branch of the canopy of trees, waiting for the perfect moment.

and that moment has finally come

spoilers for homestuck (merp. if you read this ill explode you with my mind im sorry im doing this but it has spoilers for all of homestuck so you arent allowed to read this JDKSKFJSH)

my answer is jade. am i biased?? absolutely!! but thats A Whole Thing so im gonna give some runner ups first before i get into all that

jake prob like idk whenever i see him in stuff its always either with dirk (and usually focuses on dirk kr their relationship) or its a family photo of john, jade, jane, and jake. but like. idk i dont think many people *get* what hes about (me included) but hes a great character and literally soooo aro coded its not even funny. i really should rotate jake in my brain more hes a very cool character

jane too theres some love for jane but i think the epilogues kinda fucked her

the dancestors too, but idk im not a huge dancestor fan cause they are all kinda assholes and the scene with cronus and mituna just makes my skin crawl

but ok BACK TO JADE

i think there are different aspects (most of them probably unrelated to what you untended for the question) that she doesnt get enough love, but lets start with what you were probably talking about, which is

how jade is treated by the fans

i think jade gets a fair amount of fan love. i mean just look at her!! who couldnt love her?? my main problem comes from how she compares to dave, specifically the fact that fans seem to apply an absolutely monstrous depth to daves character that isnt necessarily there in homestuck (like specificallyin regards to angst readings of his character. this is about fanfiction i should say that this is just my grievances when it comes to finding good jade fics). THATS NOT A BAD THING!! i fuckin love it actually and im not raggin on dave with this. its just that i think jade could do that as good if not better!! her life is fuckin dogshit if you treat it seriously, much like people do with daves life, and considering the fact that nearly every single fuckin dave fic i read touches on that topic, it sucks that jade fics like that are so hard to come by. she also doesnt have as many like prominent ships. theres some obv ones, like davepetasprite, or dave/karkat in a throuple (we will fucking get to that later), but yk some of the other characters even uf they dont have canon relationships, they have like. obvious ones yk. like john/vriska or john/terezi or june/rose or john/dave (fuckin j egbert gettin around kfhskshdh) or like jake/dirk or roxy/callie yk ships like those. whether you agree with em is one thing but they are obvious yk you dont gotta do alot of convincing to see them at least try it out.

but with jade, it feels like you gotta stretch it a little to get her with anyone. jade/rose is great (especially jade/rose/kanaya) but. i mean jade and rose barely talk in homestuck proper (we will GET TO IT) so its kinda a hard sell. and does jade like interact with any of the trolls alot?? like idk its been a while but im p sure most of her interactions with the trolls were negative. so that just leaves jade/davepeta which is a pretty good ship i will say, and of course, jade/dave ( + karkat sometimes) and it kinda sucks. like one of my fav ships, jade/vriska, literally started out as a joke!! but it grew on me when i started thinking out it, but it is already such a stretch that theres no fuckin way most people will see what i see (thats a whole seperate rant jdhsjdjsj this is already long enough and we have 3 other parts to get to)

SPEAKING OF THE OTHER PARTS!!

next part, prob the easiest,

jades treatment in the epilogues

do i even need to say anything??

this post is long enough ill try to speed through the other sections

NEXT PART!!

how she is treated in homestuck proper in the text (what literally happens to her)

literally lonliest girl alive has one day with her friends (that day is filled with horrible shit and thats the understatement of the century) before getting on a ship for 3 years, and like a week in having her brother and other friend die. she then lives in this ship in the middle of space, no contact to any of her other friends, no update on whats actually going on, just the company of the consorts and nanna sprite. she finally gets to the new session, meets god tier calliope who explains that that was all supposed to happen and john actually fixed everything, and also space players are just lonely thats just apart of the aspect :/

she then gets put to sleep so the condesce doesnt control her, where she misses all of the socialization that the other people have on the platform before the final fight.

she then has a convo with davepeta while she is dreaming where davepeta says "actually in the other timeline we dated and that stuff still happened to you cause of this thing called an Ultimate Self, a thing thats totally real and not at all bullshit. anyways bye!! *muah*"

she wakes up, chases a few god dogs around, gets puched in the face, and the end happily ever after!!!!!!!!

now obv this was an extremely bitter retelling and i actually cant seperate the 2 sections so this is also...

how jade is treated in homestuck proper, by andrew hussie

now. jade got ROYALLY fucked over. she started out as a mysterious figure that knows more than anyone, but extremely quickly she goes to the person who knows the least out of literally anyone. she barely talks to rose, seemingly one of her 4 childhood friends, throughout the whole comic (jade and rose say about 2700 words to each other over 5 conversations, one of them being a repeat from the others perspective. their longest convo is 571 words. for reference, this convo between dave karkat and john has 2100 words. almost 1500 words more than their longest convo and almost as much words as rose and jades entire convo history. heres a link to da sourse i used cause no way im counting that shit jdjsgsjshs tho they are doing it cause they dont like jade/rose or sumn?? idk i dont fucking care about that. anyways side tangent over!!)

SHE DOESNT EVEN WNTER THE GAME TILL ACT 5 ACT 2!!!!!!!! AFTER WE SEE THE ENTIRE TROLL SESSION!!!!!!!!

then, during the session idk shes cool i dont remember it much cause the beta kids session is a surprisingly short part of the comic jdkshdjshs but she has some cool moments and i love her ^u^

then the yellow yard. god. just fucking left there alone. why?? the entire point of johnfix is that the session could be changed for the better without worry of a doomed timeline. couldnt have even made john give her a heads up as to why her john and davesprite just fucking die randomly?? (before you say that john couldnt have cause he didnt know, motherfucker andrew hussie knew!!!!!!!! he could have just made some fuckin reason for john to know its not that hard)

then during the session she just gets ranted to about how actually its all apart of the plan and this was supposed to be this way and she just goes ":P okie dokie" and moves on like that wouldnt FUCKING KILL HER THAT SHE HAD TO BE ROYALLY FUCKED OVER FOR EVERYTHING TO GO RIGHT.

now obv theres an explanation why her role in the final fight is so passive. shes too op. she combined with bec and is a space player (and is shown using those powers to do some pretty bad ass stuff jfjsgsjdhd). thats fair i guess. im just salty that the way to solve that was to literally put her to sleep for most of it, then go fly around with some dogs and get punched in the face.

now. the rant is kinda over. jade i think is the most slept on character, but specifically she is slept on by one person. andrew hussie. i think that andrew hussie did not explore jades character like he did with other characters. i do not know why. im going to try to not act like i know why he did it (god its so hard HDKSKDHAGDJ). this rsnt is pure salt, pure fuckin cope, i am aware. this is not meant to be objective i just really like and relate to jade and wish she got more love in the work itself. but instead, i must dine on the scraps she gets on fuckin ao3 (did you know there are almost as many davekat fics as there are fics where jade is in it at all?? and thats not even including the fact that alot of the jade fics, shes not the main person. im not mad 🙃🙃)

anyways uhhhh sorry this probably wasnt what you were expecting 😭😭😭😭 i just have alot of incoherent thoughts when it comes to jade and homestuck in general. so uhhhh. THANKS FOR THE ASK!!!!!!!!

𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 @mayfieldss (aka love of my life)

↳ masterlist  ↳ ship exchange ↳ taglist ↳ 1k celebration

-͟͟͞☆ I ship you with Carol Danvers! Carol is tough, and headstrong, but kind. She's ridiculously loyal and is good at owning up to her mistakes (so hard to find sometimes). She'd flirt hardcore with you (both of you are feisty), but she wouldn't let you down. She would become someone you can trust and feel comfortable letting your walls down around. Also, hello? Do we remember the singing planet? She's secretly a theater kid too.

-͟͟͞☆ Headcanons:

Carol takes you to visit her political husband. You guys kind of hit it off (throuple???). Also, everyone loves hearing you play instruments.

You love to give gifts to Carol, but also Goose usually ends up eating the gift :(

Nick Fury is somewhat offput by your sarcasm, but comes around to really appreciating you. Together, you are Carol's worst nightmare.

-͟͟͞☆ Tropes:

Springtime flowers (you) x Snow in winter (Carol)

Would get arrested together

-͟͟͞☆ Playlist:

california friends the regrettes

kiss me sixpence none the richer

all the small things blink-182

-͟͟͞☆ Character you're most like: Yelena Belova

-͟͟͞☆ I ship you with Isaac Lahey! Isaac is a man who is very obviously turned on by strong women (lol), and you being sassy with him would be his undoing. He gets having trust issues, and you guys could help each other through it. He's cool under pressure, and is 100% victim of the sassy man apocalypse (so sorry in advance queen).

-͟͟͞☆ Headcanons:

Isaac asks you to read over his essays (he's not a good writer, but you are), and it is always almost returned covered in red ink. Thankfully, you find it adorable.

He kept trying to ask you out. It mostly came out as all jumbled until he finally got it out. You were so shocked that you didn't respond for a good ten minutes and he thought you hated him. You just shut him up by kissing him.

-͟͟͞☆ Tropes:

himbo (him) x girlboss (you)

orange cat (him) x black cat (you)

-͟͟͞☆ Playlist:

all i want kodaline

crash the primitives

superman taylor swift

-͟͟͞☆ Character you're most like: Stiles Stilinski

Okay, this one was hella hard. I decided to give two options because I'm indecisive.

-͟͟͞☆ First person I thought of was Meg. Meg is…kind of cold (obvious), but she has an appreciation for people who are authentic. She'd love how true to yourself you were, and would find your feisty but kind nature to be sexy as hell.

-͟͟͞☆ The other person I think you could work with is Dean. Dean needs someone to put him in his place, but also act as an anchor through his life(you would be perfect for that!) You would totally bicker, all the time, but at the end of the day, you would just snuggle up and be alright. He would be so head over heels for you it's insane.

-͟͟͞☆ Headcanons (Meg):

Team Free Will wouldn't even know that Meg had a girlfriend. You'd just show up one day and their jaws would drop lol.

Meg would always be the one to push you towards opportunities you wouldn't otherwise take. She's your #1 fan.

sharing clothes. sharing clothes. sharing clothes.

-͟͟͞☆ Headcanons (Dean):

Sam was the one who set you guys up. He was tired of the constant (obvious) flirting and decided to take matters into his own hands.

Frequent movie nights in the Dean Cave.

-͟͟͞☆ Tropes (Meg):

Demon (Meg) x Angel (You)

Love at first sight

-͟͟͞☆ Tropes (Dean):

Perfection | Helstar - Alina Starkov x Matthias Helvar

Author's Notes: Look i didn't set out to write this. I just missed Matthias so much. It's been a while since I wrote him and my throuple (Helstarova) If you know my ao3, you know i write for the shadow and bone fandom. Giving Alina what she deserves. I don't want no comments about this from antis please. I can ship and write what I want. (link to my helstarova work at the bottom. I also mainly write darklina) Thanks to anyone who reads this :)

Pairing: Alina Starkov x Matthias Helvar

Tags: Blowjobs, PIV sex, Dating, Modern AU, Romance

Summary: Alina is Matthias perfect little girlfriend.

Matthias gripped the edge of the table. His knuckles were white. His head bent back, eyes closed to the ceiling. His pants was unbuckled, sagging at his ankles, underwear pulled down to his knees, t-shirt ridden up where hands were now roaming his defined abdomen. He sighed on a particular good thrust that made Alina choke. He surpressed a grin at the sound, soothing through her hair.

"It's okay. You can take more, my love," he coaxed her, driving his thick cock to the back of her throat once more.

Drool dribbled down her chin. She nodded her head, eager to please him. On her knees she was gorgeous like this. Tears pricking the corner of her eyes, black hair mused from his rough fingers, lips red and eyes staring up at him as she did her best to take all of him in her mouth. Her brown eyes were glossy. Reverent. Appreciative. She'd say thank you after this. Matthias had taught her manners. Her throat was raw now. He had been going at this for nearly an hour. Slowly coming to full hardness from the little licks and laps and letting himself ease into her mouth before fucking it without worrying whether she could handle how hard he was thrusting. She moaned around him. Small body shivering as she let him use her. He could tell by the way she was rocking forward that she wanted release. He wasn't going to give it to her. Not yet. She first had to finish him. He was taking his time with it. Savouring it.

He relished in the feel of her mouth on him. On the way she swallowed down, the soft flesh of her mouth, the lap of her tongue on the underside of his cock. Licking at the spot that made him groan and his hips rock forward. Her mouth was small but perfect. She was so good at taking him. So obiedent. He was going to praise her and set her on the table with her legs over his shoulders and show her just how much he was thankful for her. His grip on her hair tightened and he pitched forward on a moan.

"Ah, Alina, you're doing so well. Gonna cum in your mouth. Want me to fill you with cum, sweetheart?"

She moaned in reply, redoubling her efforts to make him get there faster. He was teetering on the edge. Praises flew out of his mouth as he spilled inside her.

"Swallow," he commanded and she did.

He wiped her eyes with his thumbs and cleaned over her tear-stained cheeks. He scratched her head like he would a kitten, telling her how good she was. He tipped her chin up and leaned down to kiss her messy mouth. She moaned into the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"My girl," he murmured between kisses. "I love you so much."

"I love you, too, Matt."

"Now, come here. Need to sort you out. You must be so messy down there. Let's get you out of these clothes, yeah?"

He picked her up, stripping her of her tights and underwear. He was right. She was soaked. Matthias bent forward, nose running over her sensitive folds, making her shiver. He inhaled her and licked a flat stripe from top to bottom.

"Perfect mouth. Perfect cunt."

Alina flushed and covered her face in her hands. "No, I--"

"You do have the perfect cunt. Want to kis it all the time."

Matthias lapped at the swollen, wet flesh and sucked her throbbing clit in his mouth. She moaned so prettily for him. He couldn't get enough of the taste of her. He couldn't get enough of her scent, of how she felt on his tongue. He loved the way her hips would rock into him as soon as his tongue found his way inside her. He fucked her open with his tongue, holding her hips down so he could set the pace himself. She was too greedy today. He slowly lapped at her, curling and touching her in the way she liked. He knew how to do this. Knew what would bring her close to the edge. He took it his time with it. Let himself enjoy each muscle twitch of her thighs next to his face, every soft moan that she made. She was shuddering and breathless once he finally pulled away.

"No, no. Please. I need you."

"Tell me what you need, hm?" Matthias asked. "My fingers or cock?"

She whined, frustrated. "All of you. I don't care. I just wanna cum."

He clicked his tongue. "You can't have it both ways. I'm not gonna touch you until you tell me exactly what you want."

She sighed. "Please, Matthias. I need your cock. Need to cum on your cock. Wanna feel you inside of me."

"There. That wasn't so hard, was it?"

He opened her legs wider. He yanked her body forward, legs dangling over his shoulders. His cock nudged her entrance and before she could even say anything he slid inside. She cried out. Her body trying to stretch to take his big cock. He inched inside her little by little.

"You've done this before. You know how this works. Breathe, baby. You can do this."

He pushed foward until he was all the way in. She was whimpering, tears again rolling down her cheeks. Matthias was big, he knew. But Alina was made for him. He moaned as her cunt clenched around him.

"So fucking perfect for me. I don't want anyone else. Don't need anyone else. Fuck, Alina, my beautiful girl."

Alina moaned and pulled him forward so that his lips met hers. He kissed her slowly as his cock fucked her hard and fast. His tongue swirled in her mouth, picking up traces of himself in the kiss. It didn't matter how many times he had her, he would never tire of her. Her perfect body. The way her small breasts bounced as she moved with him. The way her face looked when she was close. Matthias came a second time into Alina's body, this time Alina following with him.

if you'd like more alina x matthias and also with aleksander, then you will like 'The Passion's Double Amplified" - poly college modern au (p.s everyone is bisexual)

Summary: Aleksander smirked and looked her in the eye. "Oh, sweetheart. I'm not going to stop until you come on my face. Then when you're done, I will make you come again."  He went back in to plunge his tongue deeper inside of her. She strained upwards with a broken sob. "There you go. Be good and let yourself come on his tongue," Matthias whispered as he nipped at her flesh.

a perfectly normal tierlist

Well I’m at that point where it’s late, I’m tired, and im out of ideas. That’s right motherfuckers its time for a tierlist. I dunno which to do though, so let’s just hit the random button aaaand

…wait, there is no random button. Ok, sure, I’ll just close the old eyes and pick the first one I see that I can actually have an opinion on. No takesies backsies, unless it’s like american sports or something. aaand here we go.

…aww fuck.

Mistakes are being made.

Shit tier

ABO: Aside from the fact that it’s based on a flawed study that has been solidly discredited no matter how many right-wing grifters try to sell alpha chad pills, this shit is 100% horny on main all the time and not in a way I find particularly appealing. I can’t say I’ve intentionally read anything tagged with this shit, because seeing it on a taglist actively reviles me.

Soulmate AU: Most of the AU stuff is lumped together elsewhere, but this one has a special place in the colder, more shrivelled bits of my heart. I’ve yet to see this used anywhere other than to justify someone’s OTP in universe and skipping all the, yknow, interesting stuff. Like there’s enough of it out there that I’m sure someone has made an actually good fic out of this. But not for me.

Bang or Die: Save it for the hentai, you horny fucks.

Sex Pollen: I don’t know what this is, but I don’t like the sound of that.

Miscommunication: Do you want to read a 100000 word fanfic based around the absolute worst trope in romantic “comedy”? I sure as fuck don’t!

 Bad tier

Amnesia fic: Jace Beleren is the only character who gets away with this shit, and even then I’m getting pretty sick of it. If I’m interested in reading about a character, I’d rather read about them, not the post-death-of-personality husk that inevitably leads to bad angst.

Arranged Marriage: Another shitty romance trope to force your leads together. Yawn.

Baby fic: When I was younger I ended up seeing Just Go With It in cinemas for stupid reasons and it’s just this and it wasn’t good

Sharing a bed: I’m not sure what this refers to, unless it’s like, being forced to share a bed because shenanigans, hilarity ensues, which doesn’t sound like the best time.

Pregnancy fic: This is not my kink.

Love Triangle: I’ve seen this play out in real life and it’s ugly, and those examples were relatively low-key. Maybe once I read one that turns into a polyamorous throuple I’ll change my mind.

Mutual Pining/Unrequieted Love: Part of the problem with a lot of the media that gets romantic fanfiction is that they never actually bite the bullet with the romance, just tease that shit for years and years. I’m not sure why you’d want more of that for your wish-fulfillment.

Meh tier

Fix-it-Fic: Undoubtedly whoever is writing these have a different definition of “fixed” than I do. My main issue with these, however, is that a lot of them are for things with perfectly fine endings that just didn’t have the ship they wanted or were not a happily ever after. With that in mind, some of them are pretty golden (TLCstuck comes to mind).

Angst/Hurt and Comfort: I graduated from angsty teenager to depressed adult a long time ago.

Bodyswap: Your Name is overrated. (editor’s note, Raderph has never seen Your Name.)

Crackfic: The most hit or miss thing on this entire list. Good crackfics can be absurdist brilliance, bad ones are late 00’s randumb but somehow worse. With that in mind, crack ships can be a lot of fun.

All these generic-ass AUs: Man I gotta probe someone’s mind who’s into this stuff, because it’s never appealed to me. If I’m looking at an AU, I’d much rather it be characters in an actually interesting scenario or world rather than just Starbucks or Hogwarts with the serial numbers filed off. Throw ‘em in Mad Max or something, not Jane Austen. You get the idea.

Huddle for Warmth: As a Perth bloke who’s never experienced snow this is completely unrelatable to me.

Enemies/Friends to Lovers: Look I’m a refined homestuck fan we perfected this shit 10 years ago.

Dark Fic: Another hit or miss one, but unfortunately the majority of them are pizza cutters. All edge, no point.

First Kiss: Romantic awkwardness can be cute, but my cringe threshold is often too low for the high school shenanigans this tends to entail. With that said, I’m writing about fanfiction tropes on my tumblr blog, so maybe the cringe was inside me all along.

Time Loop: This is in meh because I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever stumbled across it in fanfiction but also I can’t imagine it’s done well that often.

 Ok tier

Gen fic: …doesn’t this just mean a fanfic that isn’t a crossover or a shipping fic? That this is separate here implies that it’s notable when a fic isn’t one of those things, which…. is depressingly fair.

Crossover: Lotta bad ones out there. Lotta good ones. If it’s a crossover with two things I really like I’m probably gonna enjoy it, and some- particularly those where it’s basically just an AU with characters from one universe slotted into another- work nicely imo.

Humor: why is this a tag yes I like it when things are funny a lot of people aren’t going to be funny though

Major Character Death: Fuck me up. I wanna cry motherfucker.

Slow Burn: I can’t even justify liking this to be honest. I think it’s a lot like how slice of life anime go, where its just characters you like doing things and slowly developing characterwise and relationshipwise. Which if you like it you like it.

Fluff: Fuck me up. I wanna cry motherfucker. (but of joy)

In vino veritas: This is a pretty dumb trope but I can’t help but enjoy it. Sloppy drunken makeouts into morning after oh god what have I done is extremely unfun in real life but pretty funny when it happens to someone else.

Missing scenes: But what if I want to see what happens when Barry gets his pokemon’s teeth kicked in by Jupiter, huh? This is just wish fulfillment for trivia/minutiae nerds, which unfortunately I am one of.

Fake relationship: Another dumb trope that I cannot defend. It’s a cute dynamic that often really works. don’t judge meeeeee

 Good tier:

Established Relationship: If I want to read about my ship, I want to read about them being in a relationship, which means that if it was already established and we could skip all the BS that’d be great……… is this so hard

Unhappy ending: Fuck me u-okay not doing that a third time. Sometimes you’re sad and you want somewhere to put that sad. With that in mind, the meta-unhappy ending, AKA a great fic that hasn’t been updated in years (I could name a few…dozen) is the worst fanfiction trope and I want it to go away.

Canon Divergence: I find “What if” a lot more interesting that fix-it stuff because the former has variety. It’s really interesting to see events from a story divert and follow different beats, so long as those beats make sense to the overall context.

 God tier:

Porn without plot: Presented without comment.
