Trope ratings: Bodyswap, Accidental Marriage, aaaaaand Mutual Pining? xoxo MJ/kiwiana-writes
HELLOOOOOO.
Bodyswap: LMAO you're very clever sending me one I'm currently writing. I do love body swap fics of all kinds, so probably a solid A? I enjoy the awkwardness of characters having to inhabit someone else's body, and it often makes for some good physical comedy. Plus the moments of 'oh no, they're too hot how am I supposed to deal with this'.
Accidental marriage: I don't think I've actually read that many of these? I assume most of them are Vegas fics, which I can kind of take or leave, so I guess a C. They don't draw me in, but they can be fun.
Mutual pining: MY BELOVED. A+++ 105%. If pining is delicious, mutual pining is 10x as sweet. I once said almost all of my fics are mutual pining even if we only see one side pining, and I stand by that. It's mutual pining even if one of them doesn't know it. Sub-trope of mutual pining while fucking is also incredible. Mutual pining is the GOAT.
Send me a fic trope and I'll grade it

tagged by @jesuisici33 @spotsandsocks @thewolvesof1998 @daffi-990 @fortheloveofbuddie
rules: How much do these tropes affect your decision to click on a fic? -10 -> very dissuaded 0 - don’t care either way +10 -> very enticed nope -> if it’s a hard no and you’d never click on a fic with that tag or or you even have the tag blocked or you’d insta click out of the fic if it wasn’t tagged. Bonus points for explaining the rating and whether it’s conditional.
Age gap: -2
tbh I don't mind an age gap unless it's huge and/or the younger person is way too young when the relationship starts, that's icky
other than that I don't particularly care hah
Codependency: +4
depends - a bit is fine, but not like unhealthy levels haha
Obsession/Possessiveness, jealousy: +8
see above lol - if done right, amazing, love it (also, my buddie always ends up at least a little bit possessive, idk, i can't help it haha)
Opposites (grumpy/sunshine etc): +10
adore it
Enemies to lovers, Enemies with benefits: +8
used to be more into it, but still love it
Friends with benefits: +10
YES, and with mutual pining too? perfection
Sex to feelings: +10
Fake dating/relationship: +10
one of absolute faves, love it so much (even finally wrote one and it was so fun lol)
Friends to lovers: +10
used to be kinda meh about it, now it's my shit (I blame buddie)
Found Family: +10
one of faves
Hurt/Comfort: +5
I don't seek it out, but I'll read it if I'm in the mood
Love Triangle: -8
so sick of these, sns, just make them all date each other
Poly, open relationships: +6
haven't read that many, but I do like those haha
Mistaken/hidden identity: 0
just bc I don't think I've ready any? idk
Monsterfucking: +8
listen... after venom I went so into symbrock on Ao3 lol (pretty sure they're my only ship for this trope so far tho)
Pregnancy: 0
don't seek it out, and haven't read that many, it's whatever
Second Chance: +1
depends, don't actively seek it out
Slowburn: +9
the. best.
Soulmates: +6
really depends, but generally they're fun I guess

More tropes for the rating!! Enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, and kidfics 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks, friend!! I really love doing these lmao And literally just in time, my CEU starts now!
Enemies to Lovers - B - I like it. I'm not usually in the mood for it but I'll read it, especially if it's humorous, maybe some lite angst
Friends to Lovers - A+ - One of my favorite tropes. I love writing it, I will actively seek it out. A++ if it's CHILDHOOD friends to lovers. Cannot get enough. I love when characters have a whole history as they develop into a romantic relationship 🥺
Kidfics - A - I enjoy a good kidfic. I love exploring and reading about my favorites becoming parents and seeing what that would be like. Maybe some lite angst, but I mostly like how soft and tender these fics usually are.

i see your tim has narcolepsy headcanon and i offer you this: he falls asleep during the titans tower attack and jason's just like. "well now what"
bonus points if it's one of those aus where jason has a conscious or pit madness or whatever and convinces himself tim must be horribly mistreated to start snoring while getting beat up and tim's struggling to get him to understand no dude it's a medical condition my grandpa had it
#i think in the field he'd have accommodations like some shock or chemical injection when his heart rate drops#idk i'm not a doctor nor a narcoleptic#i just think that “creatively coping with disabilities” and “comedic miscommunication” are some of the best tropes#leo says shit#batfam#jason todd#tim drake#the real reason he always works with ppl (bruce dick helena jpv steph cass yj) is so someone has his back when his body checks out for a bi#his signature move is called “i feel an attack coming on so i throw myself at a bad guy with my full body weight bc i am. asleep.”

I think I figured out the problem with the Enemies to Lover's trope, it has a bimodal distribution. Let me explain!
Most tropes have a normal distribution:
I hypothesize that with EtoL, there is very little middle ground. This is a bimodal distribution:
You either do EtoL well and join the ranks of the immortals, or you crash and burn. I've discussed previously what makes EtoL work, but there seem to be a lot of traps for writers to fall into when it comes to this trope. For example:
the turn being based too heavily on lust (common JAFF trap)
never fully establishing the enemies phase
insufficient apology on one side (almost always the man's) which makes the other's acceptance unsatisfying
the pair have the communication skills of a newborn baby (ei: the misunderstanding could be fixed with a single sentence)
one side is a real asshole but it's excused because of TRAUMA
growth is ignored in favour of acceptance (can work, usually doesn't)
Relationship is clearly toxic, above and beyond the extenuating circumstances/magical premise (The problem isn't that Edward is a vampire, that's part of the premise. The problem is his disregard for Bella's autonomy)
One side gives in because the other is too obsessed with them
Once Upon a Time flew by having Hook feel meaningful remorse for his past actions (the scene with the Little Mermaid got me so good) and establishing begrudging respect between him and Emma, The Mindy Project crashed and burned by not showing sufficient growth in Danny (does he respect her career now or are they just horny?). Parks and Recreation got it by making the leads both good people who just got on each other's nerves because they had different valid approaches. I think Brooklyn 99 is one of those rare mediocre ones, because the enemy stage isn't fully established but the relationship is still satisfying. The Kdrama Alchemy of Souls got it right by having both main characters display an impressive amount of personal growth, while 100 Days My Prince burned because it relied too heavily on obsession and trauma excusing behaviour.
Pride & Prejudice and Much Ado About Nothing show that the beginning dynamic can be completely different, old antagonists vs. first impressions, but the trope can still work if it's done right. The problem is that it's so often done wrong.
So when it's good, it's SO GOOD, when it's bad, it sucks.
#enemies to lovers#tropes we love#jane austen charted#what makes stories work#I am not tagging for the things I insulted in here I don't want to die#pride and prejudice#I think you can argue about whether P&P is true enemies to lovers#since Darcy fell so early#but I think it counts#yes I googled the top EtoL couples and then gave them my own ratings#sometimes I wake up and choose violence

Thinking about how the romance between Maki and Kaito was written by TDR and the possibility they implied Kokichi's interest in Shuichi during the FTEs + Love hotel.
Like, what if TDR intended for Kokichi to take Shuichi's hand by the end of his last FTE but Kokichi didn't bc of the circumstances™?
And just how much influence does the writing have on the character's feelings anyway? Do they just restrict that to romance or does that impact other dynamics? 🤔
#I mean. I did get into dr bc of this ship so it must be one of those tropes you'd make to get more rating in a tv show#I might be missing details since I don't remember the details of TDR's writing but it's still possible they wanted to imply it#drv3#kokichi ouma#shuichi saihara#saiouma#oumasai#meroramblings#who needs to sleep when you can think about the postgame possibilities

Magic AUs! And high school AU too
Oooh ok, let's do this!
Magic AU: We'll go with A-. I don't seek them out specially, but I do enjoy them quite a bit whether it's modern with magic or a fantasy AU. I feel like my appreciation for this genre has grown over the last few years, too.
High school AU: I'm gonna be honest, high school was a terrible part of my life and one I'd like to forget, so I have to rate these a D, only because I've read a FEW but only under specific circumstances. @orchidscript's '50s AU The Way You Seemed is one I adore. But for the most part they are sadly not my jam.
Send me a fic trope and I'll grade it

For the fandom trope ask, how do you feel about Fake Dating?
Rachel asked me about this one, too!
I give Fake Dating a B-
I go back and forth about it. I think a good fic writer could catch my attention and interest but it's not something I actively seek out. There's a lot of angst potential and I'm a giant weenie but if it was written with more humor and had a happy ending, I could be enticed!
Thank you for asking, friend! <33

Alpha Bakugou desperately jerking off so he can be near his favorite sidekick without dropping to his knees and begging to fuck them just this once.
A lust quirk is already a major problem for a hero to get hit with. Working in close proximity to an Omega who is so wildly off limits he convinced himself he didn’t want them anyways, is a nightmarish hell.
Worse is, it’s not even working. How is he supposed to make it through the next 48 hours without making a huge fool of himself?
