thinking a fic is actually taking the time out to build a love/hate pairing between a hero and villain with slowly growing mutual respect and begrudging bonding and earned moments of connection/revelation

getting 26 chapters in only for it be revealed that the dude’s actually obsessed with her and has been for years and she’d just lost her memories of it

#WHY DO FIC WRITERS DO THIS #WHY WHY WHY #like the ENTIRE reason I ever LIKE love/hate is because it should almost INTRINSICALLY guarantee that a romantic arc should be earned #it should spare me of all the fucking boring love at first site shit that does absolutely nothing for me #because why would I care about a love I don't even get a chance to understand #and commits to taking people through a process where they ACTUALLY have to get to know each other #without any love blinders on #the good the bad the ugly #no one's pretending cause who cares what their enemy thinks #BUT SOMEHOW MY PRECIOUS ROMANTIC GENRE OF CHOICE IS *INUNDATED*#in obsession fics where the dude is obsessed with the girl from the get-go #like all that 'hatred' was actually fueled by this long-standing lure and attraction that makes absolutely no sense #and that the girl somehow never knew about #WHY #lmao like it literally cheapens everything the author's built over 20+ chapters and yet!?????#it's so????#pervasive??????#in these fics????#idk why I ever thought reading dramione was a thing I should do #I've been watching the HP movies for halloween and realized I'd never actually gotten into that pairing #and maybe it could be fun #I was INCORRECT.#anyway #that's my rant for the day #love/hate and love/obsession are not the same genre bye
