Types of romances I wanna read but can’t find

Catholic Priest x Pagan witch (tropes: forbidden love, age gap 39yo +28yo, neighbors, second chance)

Dark immortal fae who makes deals x mermaid queen who gives up her tail and title for vengeance ( villain love, little mermaid theme, they’re both evils one is just low key about it, dark)

Tattoo artist x baker with a boba shop (tropes: friends to lovers, motorcycle club, dark, hurt her and you die)

Red horned demon from hell x the witch who’s blood was used to summon him (monster romance, eternally bonded, crazy cults)

Warrior/incubus warlord x mortal monster slayer with a sentient cursed sword (fantasy and reality collide, 10 monster slay swords, dystopian, you’ll be my wife whether you like it or not)

Non-forbidden age gap (42yo biker x 28yo bookstore owner, 38yo mafia boss x 27yo secretary, 26yo rich college student x 33yo college professor)

Eldritch god of darkness and death x an immortal storyteller (tropes: villain love interest, embodiments of creation and destruction, historical, parallel power couple, Jim Henson The Storyteller vibe, soulmates)

I want someone to write a trope about how everyone thinks the main character like the underdog and is the one the "bully" is mean to and stuff. The "bully" claims they saw main character do something really bad, like something that ruined "bully's life or did something that really messed the bully up, but no one believes them because main character is like the underdog. Then people start liking main character because bully is accusing them of doing something really bad.

So basically a bully trope where the main character/victim of the story is actually the "bad guy" who is playing innocent.

Main character= person A, Bully=person B

Exp: Person B person A of like, killing their mom, but Person B has a history of smoking and getting high and stuff; though that's not actually true, it's just something they got bullied to do one time and someone took a picture and now every thinks they does drugs and stuff and ignores them. The case gets thrown out of court because Person B isn't a credible person, everyone is on Person A's side and is liking them and stuff.

Like get the audience to really like Person A and want the to, you know "win". But plot twist, Person A really did kill Person B's mom, and Person B saw it. The End.

-_- apparently the cut-off for this thing I want to submit to (which closes tomorrow) is 70k words, and I’ve got 67k

I need to think of three thousand words of bullshit to pad this thing. like a chapter where everyone goes for coffee, or something.

#if this book is ever published #and the plot grinds to a halt midway through while the characters play a prolonged game of Uno #you know why #book

It's canon that Spock likes to fuck with people and pretend he doesn't know human sayings just so he can make people explain it to him.

And then Kirk just knows when Spock is serious or is just being difficult and obtuse on purpose. They're married your honour.

#star trek #jim kirk #spock #star trek tos #tos star trek #tos spirk #star trek novels #double double #tos kirk #tos spock #this book is so fun so far #the plot is interesting #and the spirk is also kinda spirking #which it always should be #kirk calling spock 'difficult' is so funny #cause it's like calling the kettle black

one of the funniest underrated parts of animorphs to me is the fact that time travel is a surprisingly common plot point, and yet it kinda gets glossed over because it almost never factors into the story in a way that actually matters. like. jake dies crossing the delaware but gets better on a technicality. there were aliens on earth at the same time as the dinosaurs but the asteroid got them too. time travel is a known phenomenon that the andalites have studied, but we don’t actually get any explanation for it because ax was distracted in class that day. everyone went back in time 24 hours and then died and forgot everything. two separate members of the main cast are different varieties of time anomalies and really the only effect it has on them is tobias getting over his family issues. jake is shown a prophetic vision of a world where the yeerks win and we just never get an explanation for what the fuck that was about. every time time travel is brought up, it contradicts at least one other time travel plotline. this is the series that taught me to never take time travel seriously in fiction and i can’t thank it enough for that. this is hilarious.

#i think the only time time travel actually significantly impacts the plot #is in the seventh book when the ellimist shows them the future #and they use those visions to figure out where the kandrona is #there's also the whole thing with tobias and elfangor of course #but the ellimist's time shenanigans are less important than the actual familial connection #animorphs #idiot teenagers with a death wish #koolmathgames.com

I wanna make a villain love interest with soft dark hair, pretty eyes, feminine features, tattoos, round glasses held by a thing decorative chain, and op powers with a yandere type of crazy personality but still has a friendly charm to him.

Question is what is he(an eldritch god? An unseelie king, a dark mage? A demon monster??) and what would the plot be?

I’m kinda getting vibe for a dark fae with a “he who shall not be named” type of reputation and since it’s “mer-may” there could be a little mermaid deal going on…

i still can't believe there are folks who say "well GTN is annoying but you just have to get through it and then the other books aren't like that so you'll be fine."

personally i have been chasing the high of GTN ever since i first closed the book

#yes i love HTN but to me it was a slog! honestly pacing is not strong in any of these books #they're chock-full of reread value but unless you are looking deeper like that tbh not much happens plot-wise in each book #and HTN is the worst culprit because you get basically harrow just being miserable on the mithraeum for four acts #interspersed with chapters that are a different version of something you already read #the way i love each book is very different but GTN was FUN #you know??#i miss it #(i miss her. gideon my dumb baby come back to me)#the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #nonasbirthday

Vlad looked imploringly at Agnes, and reached out to her.

'You wouldn't let them kill me, would you? You wouldn't let them do this to me? We could have... we might... you wouldn't, would you?'

The crowd hesitated. This sounded like an important plea. A hundred pairs of eyes stared at Agnes.

She took his hand. I suppose we could work on him, said Perdita. But Agnes thought about Escrow, and the queues, and the children playing while they waited, and how evil might come animal sharp in the night, or greyly by day on a list...

'Vlad,' she said gently, looking deep into his eyes, 'I'd even hold their coats.'

granny weatherwax was such a buzzkill for not letting her tear him apart <\3

#discworld #terry pratchett #carpe jugulum #agnes nitt #begging screaming pleading on my knees guys read agnes’ books #maskerade and carpe jugulum are soooooo important to me #agnes is so real for the vampire bf plot line in this book #she’s like obviously i can’t be with him he’s like literally evil. buuuuuuuuuut #hearth art
