unpopular opinion but i actually love the miscommunication trope. don’t get me wrong there are definitely irritating ways of implementing it, but when it’s done right it’s so good
#ljs life#tropes#like when it’s someone overhearing half a conversation??? drives me insane#but when it’s like. baked into the characters and the way they communicate? how maybe one doesn’t know how to express themself and the#other doesn’t know how to hear it? maybe there’s trauma at play or someone *is* speaking plainly and the other party (parties) are reading#different meanings into. maybe there’s a fundamental disconnect that really does create compelling drama#maybe it’s comedic! maybe something was misheard or there’s a language barrier that led to a playful misunderstanding#maybe a message gets delivered to the wrong person#maybe two people have the same name or nickname#idk man like I said there are definitely times when it drives me insane but like…I actually do really enjoy it#(there’s a little bit of it in my trilogy - though it doesn’t last long)#I have read two entirely separate fics for entirely separate fandoms where the premise was that one person thought they’d been dating for#ages and the other person was pointlessly pining and both were so much fun (bc of the dramatic irony) (and the pining)#one was a dar.edevil fic where they’d been dating for literally ten years and I reread that one was surprising frequency#bc it’s such a ridiculous and endearing and well executed premise#idk man it’s just like. holds the miscommunication trope.
