#fan fiction tropes

[red-hat-cat]

Quali day in Barcelona. The day most of the Lestappen fan fiction tropes proved to be just that. Fan fiction tropes. Charles never was the damsel in distress and Max never was his defender.

Maybe we should have stopped to ask why One Direction was in the market to buy so many teenagers to begin with.

This is officially my favorite ship dynamic lol

[ancientpersacom]

No more enemies to lovers. Give me enemies to even worse enemies. Give me two people that hate each other so much they get physically angry at the mere mention of their name, give me rivalry so intense they break into tears screaming in anger at each other, give me rivals who won’t stop until the other is imprisoned/dead. Rivalry is such a good writing trope and well written rivals can make you feel such intense emotions along with the characters it feels like you’re part of it. I hate that shipping culture takes every rival every and reduces it down to anger sex. Sometimes rivalry is exact what those characters need, what they’re written for and it should be left that way. Can we please just appreciate good rivals? Get lost in the anger, hatred and life long grudge they have for each other? And not reduce them down to a kinda toxic relationship that fuck sometimes? Rivals are just as interesting as ships.

Can we stop pretending that cliches are cringe like you can give me enemies to lovers, give me humans are space orcs, give me language barriers and I will gobble that shit up

(for the fanfic tropes thing) fake dating au

Ooooo that's a good one. I'll give that one a B. Fake dating goes hand in hand with slow burn most of the time and I don't love slow burn. Primarily because slow burn usually has a lot of miscommunication involved. But if it's done right I love a good fake dating au.

What are your favorite tropes in Snape fanfics?

Thank you for the ask! 🖤

I'm a big sucker for Hurt&Comfort. Also Angst, Slow Burn, and ofc Fix It Fics. When I feel like torturing myself, I throw in a Major Character Death. My dear has to suffer, poor thing...

[redbirdbella]

Hey guys hate to break it to you by apparently fake dating your coworkers is "immature" and a "HR violation" and not the perfect start to a romantic relationship.

Dialogue tips that actually work:

You are not writing a movie (ignore this if you are). The reader doesn't need to know every word the characters say for the duration of the story. Less is more.

Dialogue can happen within the prose. "And they awkwardky discussed the weather for five minutes" is way better than actually writing five pages of dialogue about the weather.

Balance your dialogues. Surprise yourself with a monosyllabic answe to a dialogue that's ten sentences long. Don't be afraid of letting your character use half a page for a reply or nothing at all!

Don't write accents phonetically, use slang and colloquialisms if needed.

Comma before "said" and no caps after "!?" unless it's an action tag. Study dialogue punctuation.

Learn the difference between action tags and dialogue tags. Then, use them interchangeably (or none at all).

Don't be afraid to use said. Use said if characters are just saying things, use another word if not. Simple. There's no need to use fancy synonyms unless absolutely necessary.

Not everyone talks the same way so it makes sense for your characters to use certain words more often than others. Think of someone who says "like" to start every sentence or someone who talks really slow. Be creative.

Use prose to slow down the pace during a conversation.

Skip prose to speed up the pace during a conversation.

I do not accept criticism

[the-bar-sinister]

🎉 Write characters that you find interesting and compelling.

🎉 Don't worry about making characters too over the top, or 'too much'.

🎉 Write characters who want big things.

🎉 Write characters with conflict between what they want and what they need.

🎉 Write characters who don't realize they are doing harm.

🎉 Write characters who don't know how to communicate well.

🎉 Write characters with people they love in the way of what they want.

🎉 Write characters with amazing abilities who use them in ways that unintentionally fuck them over.

🎉 Write messy characters!

Thinking about fan fiction tropes again, and realized something.

As much as I want to/try to be grumpy, I am 100% the sunshine type.

Damn it.

[imfinereallyy]

I don’t know why, but there is something so deeply special about the “you know I’m in love with you? Right?” trope to me. It’s the only miscommunication trope I genuinely enjoy. There is just something about the way a character just stares at their love interest in exasperation or confusion and points out the blatantly obvious thing between them. Whether they scream it out in frustration, or say it in a deadpan manner or even with a little laugh and tilt of the head. Just looking at someone, realizing what do I have to lose at this point? And just saying “Dude, you have to know I’m in love with you, right?” My heart does a little flutter every time.

boyfriend!harry headcanons

-> Every day starts with Harry's sleepy face pressed into your neck, his breath tickling your ear as he mutters "good mornin', lovie." He steals kisses between yawns, his warm hand tracing patterns on your back until you're both giggling, tangled in the sheets.

-> He knows your perfect cup of coffee, the one that makes you smile like sunshine. He surprises you with it in bed, accompanied by a plate of fluffy pancakes or French toast, shaped into hearts, of course.

-> He pretends to scoff when you put on a chick flick, but you catch him stealing glances at the screen, his lips twitching with a suppressed smile. He hums along to the cheesy soundtrack, his voice husky and low, sending shivers down your spine.

-> One minute you're planning grocery shopping, the next he's whisking you away to a hidden beach for a sunset picnic, complete with a spontaneous bonfire and stargazing. He lives for creating memories that make your heart skip a beat.

-> He believes in you more than you believe in yourself. He cheers you on at work, celebrates your victories (big or small), and holds you tight when you doubt yourself. He whispers encouragement in your ear, his voice laced with unwavering faith.

-> He leaves little love notes tucked in your purse, on the fridge, even in the pages of your favorite book. He hides tiny trinkets for you to find – a seashell from your first beach trip, a vintage postcard with a romantic quote, a single, perfect rose.

-> He pulls out your chair at restaurants, opens doors, and insists on carrying your groceries. He walks on the outside of the sidewalk to shield you from the rain, and offers his jacket when you're cold. It's the little things that make your heart melt.

-> His hands wander under your shirt, sending goosebumps erupting on your skin. He whispers sweet nothings in your ear, promises of forever and endless love. He makes you feel like the only person in the world, cherished and adored.

-> He strums your favorite song on his guitar, his voice husky and soulful, just for you. He pulls you close, swaying to the rhythm, his gaze never leaving yours. He turns any room into a dance floor, his laughter echoing as you spin, lost in your own little world.

-> He's your rock, your confidant, your safe harbor. He listens without judgment, offers advice without pushing, and celebrates your individuality. He loves you for who you are, flaws and all, and that's the most beautiful love story of all.
