When i say i like straight romances I don’t mean stereotypical romances like bumping into someone and hanging out with them, i mean romance with a loving boy who ends up falling head over heels in love with an emotionally repressed girl with trauma and parental issues and the boy helps her cope and feel safe and where they experience so many life or death experiences that they bond so closely together that they think about the other person before themselves.
Examples include:
Peeta + Katniss
Jack + Rose
Percy + Annabeth
N + Uzi
Ethan + Lena
Liam + Ruby
Add your favorite ship to this that lines up, do it or I’m in ur walls.

Me, being tired of people trying to explain that Rose didn't really love Jack, that she only loved an idea of him, that it was all superficial and hormonal...
Like, I'm the first to not believe in love at first sight in reality, but in fiction it's different.
Rose and Jack are symbolically coded as soulmates by the story, even before they meet.
That's why they fall so quickly in love with each other when they finally meet.
Rose and Jack notably share a love for the art world. Something that Rose is the only one around her and that no one understands. Jack is a literal artist. They even like the same artists !
Rose is someone who is locked away and yearns for freedom. Jack is literally a free spirit.
Rose rejects the inherently misogynist and patriarchal society, just like Jack.
Rose has a fire burning inside her and immense strength, just like Jack, but he is the only one who allows her to finally express all of that.
There is also the simple fact that they are able to understand each other very quickly. For example, Jack understanding that Rose would never jump. Or, the fact that Rose already knew that Jack was innocent for stealing the necklace, as she told him when she went to find him. For what ? Because as Jack told her as he was being taken away, she knows him. The fact that Jack trusts her completely, even when things seem very bad ? (hello the ax ?!) And so does she ?
Or also, the rather funny fact that they talk at the same time when they are annoyed with the guy who is lecturing them about a door when the boat is sinking.
All this to say that I'm tired of people trying to rationalize fictional romances. Especially when they are as well constructed as Rose & Jack.
I'm already tearing my hair out at those who say that we shouldn't see Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights as romances...

Top Four Romances I'm Furious Didn't Get a Happy Ending
4. Jack and Rose
Blame the door. Blame Rose. Blame James Cameron. Blame science. I don't care. I, and everyone else, HATED that Jack died. After all that.......... he dies? Seemingly in a dumb way.
James Cameron has obviously expanded on his decision making skills regarding deciding to kill Jack. Obviously while it was about Jack's science and the pure significance of the sum of loss the true meaning was......Rose. Rose went from her mother, to Cal, to Jack. She was always dependent on someone for survival, status, guidance or permission to live. If she had gone with Jack she'd be living Jack's life. Jack dying is what forced Rose to finally take control of her own life. I get that. It's noble. I also wanted Jack to live. The audience did as well and it did look like if she just moved over.... he would have.
Don't even get me started on "My Heart Will Go On" cause imma cry.
3. Buffy and Angel
Probably the greatest more tragic romance ever. A couple that defined the 90s with electric chemistry that saved this couple from being creepy instead made it sweet and chaste. Angel fell in love with Buffy the moment he saw her. It was her that motivated him to become A Champion. He gave her the iconic Claddagh ring. That night, they slept together for the first time, which resulted in Angel experiencing the "moment of true happiness" required to end his curse. He was alleviated of his soul, and reverted to the guiltless, sadistic Angelus........ breaking viewers hearts. Especially this viewer. While Spuffy grew on me and Bangle grew apart..... it became clear even in the worst of times they were connected by the heart.
A romance destined to end in disaster all the same. This one was for the history books.
2. Augustus “Gus” Waters and Hazel Grace Lancaster
Working through their illnesses together, the two manage a relationship that is mature beyond their years. Part of what makes the end of this romance so difficult to watch is the fact that though Hazel is much sicker than Gus, his cancer ends up making an aggressive and unexpected return. We should have known it wasn't going to end well, but we were hopefully, THEY were hopefully. The scene when Hazel gets the phone call that Gus passed away, pain just pain. Shailene deserved at least the very a nominiation.
Reylo
We could have had it all. Ben and Rey could have had the best of both worlds, powerful light and powerful darkness, a balance. Their love story could have brought balanced to the force.
Ben had felt alone and abandoned for a really long time, and had tried to channel those feelings to gain more power, but was clearly failing and having doubts. Then along comes a girl with whom he shares a fate-like connection, with a similar past of parent abandonment/betrayal issues, who opens up to him & seems convinced that he is meant to be someone better.... will become someone better.
But the internet is why we can't have nice things. Reylo benefited from it's fandom, it also was severely wounded from people determined to paint Reylo as something that it wasn't due to their own issues.
