I will never shut up about one of the worst tropes in fiction THAT NOBODY TALKS ABOUT- and ahem the winner is: “Pairing off every main character, and I mean EVERY into a romantic relationship at the end of the story or sometime during the story” even if it makes no sense to the plot, or the character made it clear they aren’t interested in romance, all because some authors for some reason ( there actually is a reason but yknow ) think all the characters need to be paired off for a happy ending. Fandoms engage in this trope too sometimes and I very much so dislike it. And then there’s the weird cousin of this trope, “Most characters get paired off, but mostly the women, the men don’t need a partner and three kids, mainly just the women.” LOOKING AT YOU WARRIOR CATS DONT DENY IT YOU ARE GUILTY AS CHARGED.
#aaronymous ramblings#warrior cats#tropes#actually though it bothers me so much when romance is seen as the happiest end for a person so creators and fandoms enforce it so hard#meanwhile my aromantic ass is sighing and banging my head against a wall because the only single owl house character is Gus yet who knows I#thought the same way about hunter and vee and willow but then oops shipping#nothing wrong with those ships or shipping in general but sometimes it starts to feel like they are just a result of this world’s#insistence that romance is better than platonic or any kind of affection#where are my platonic love stories I want more of them#as much as I love romance anime sometimes it has this problem too#biggest critique of Horimiya despite how much I love it#Also WARRIOR CATS. STOP INSISTING YOUR FEMALE CHARACTERS SETTLE DOWN AND HAVE BABIES#Like the only ones who dont are like. Feathertail because she’s dead. Hollyleaf because she’s dead but she also apparently had ghost cuddles#and then Bristlefrost. because shes dead.#this sounds like a really dumb thing to complain about but nobody talks about this trope and it annoys me to no end!!
