One of my favorite relationship dynamics in both platonic and romantic ways has got to be opposites attract. Like, you put them together, and they literally look like they don’t even run in the same social circles or normally be in the same area as the other, let alone know each other as well as they do. Almost everything about them seems to contradict the other, but minus the small disagreements, they get along (sometimes like a house on fire, but they get along). It’s debatable if A is being a good influence on B, or if it’s the other way around, but they do influence each other in subtle ways without changing completely. In being together, they bring out both the best and worst in each other, but neither really mind.

Bonus points in irony if they were paired together because it was thought character A could push character B onto a better path, but it turns out while one is trouble on their own, the both of them together is chaos incarnate.

Very specific trope I'm a fan of: I'm a clone/android/whatever created specifically to kill/spy on you, but you were the first person to treat me as an actual human being so the found family instincts overpowered my mission and I want to stay here forever. Sorry.

I know this is so incredibly basic, but I have to admit I am such a sucker for the "I don't wanna die" line! Like it's so primal and simple! Just the character getting wounded and realizing in their heart of hearts, that it's fatal. And they just are faced with the fact they're gonna die, but also with the sudden, crushing realization that no, they don't want to die. They want to live.

Bonus points if the character is young and hasn't gotten to process the fragility of their life before. Or how much they value their own life. And now they're about to die and they realize just how much they want to live.

I really like that trope where the characters have to take care of a random baby they found for a day.

They should do that more often.

For the Q&A session!

To you: if you like kidnappings, what kidnapping scenario is your favorite? (used as bait, ransom, to get info out of the whumpee, something like that!)

-- @whumperofworlds

Hi!

It is really strange that I have not thought much about kidnapping, especially when my first posted whump fic has the main character being kidnapped in the recent past.

However, I think, a trope I enjoy is…consent under duress. That is, the whumpee has a moral code that they adhere to, and the kidnapper forces them to choose between greater comfort for themselves, or going the hard way and sticking to their rules.

However, this is not exclusive to kidnapping, I would say, as a trope.

A more kidnapping specific trope I like is when the ace in their field or a leader gets kidnapped and/or ambushed, and the aftermath of that, both for whumpee themselves and their team.

I hope this answers the question somewhat coherently!

tbh one of the best couple scene tropes to ever exist is when a couple is cooking together. They can be bad, they can be good, they can show each other a few things, one could be absolutely clueless, doesn’t matter, but they gotta be cooking together and that’s just MMM, beautiful! Amazing! Makes my heart go “Awwwww!”

Love it when the antagonist who has more power then the protagonist in terms of rank is later revealed to be lower in rank then the big bad they report to, delicious.

Yes, I actually do enjoy good boys going apeshit. Just going truly bananas and red eyed and such. Like indeed, let him snap a skyscraper in half, he's earned it.

Tropes I really like:

Side character-focused episode, main characters show up at the end of the episode doing something really weird that is never explained or mentioned ever again

Polite, quiet bf, and "looks like/probably will kill you and dump your body somewhere they'll never find you if you so much as look at either of them wrong" gf is a trope that holds a special place in my heart ❤

Pass the happy! 🌻 🌈 When you receive this list 5 things that make you happy and send this to 10 of the last people in your notifications! ❤️

18+ Reminder

I want to make this on topic for me so I'm going to talk about 5 things in erot*ca and smutty stories that make me happy.

Loss of control. Regardless of what kind of control is being lost, I love reading a well-written piece on that feeling of finally feeling free enough to let go–especially when there's some sort of fight or build-up.

The combination of adoring praise and amused degradation/humiliation, all done in love and with consent of course. This always makes such an interesting relationship dynamic to me and by the end of these stories, I'm usually smiling about how cute (and hot) the characters are.

Aftercare at the end of really intense scenes where the reader may not have been included in the discussion ahead of time or aware of the fact that this is just a scene and the real people are completely different from the characters they were role-playing.

Accidental kink discovery. Like when A pulls on B's hair and the moan B lets out is louder than any sound they've made before.

When A does something they're really embarrassed by but B has never felt more turned on by anything in their life and goes absolutely feral in response.

was thinking about tropes i really like, so here is a list (mostly for my own ref later but feel free to use them/add on yours. i'll probably add to it later):

Feelings too strong, can't express with words yet, so gentle forehead kisses instead (see also: hugs or soft head pats)

Enemies to Lovers, Lovers to Enemies and Enemies with Benefits

Ride or Die Bffs Who Are Lovers (this is really just a variant of Friends to Lovers, Lovers to Friends is also good)

The Belligerent Angry One is Hiding Their Soft Squishy Inner Core

The Soft Quiet Passive Seeming One is Hiding their Hard Center

They Love Each Other A Lot but Everyone is too Awkward/Afraid to Say Anything (Bonus: Loud Straightforward Friends Who Ship It Yell At them to Stop Being Ridiculous and they listen)

Everyone fell asleep somewhere uncomfortable (bench, ground, etc) so there's quiet sleepy awkward cuddling (heads resting on shoulders/laps, that kind of thing)

One person ran away and got into trouble but it's okay b/c their friend/lover(s) immediately went to find them/arrives in the nick of time (Bonus: character a is fleeing and literally falls into character b and they embrace briefly when it goes from high tension to a feeling of safety)

found family

They Saved Each Other

no love triangles, we're a well adjusted poly ship instead

gruff badass/morally questionable character becomes parent, is still morally questionable in everything except being a parent

The slow finger clasp (like one person has their hands out, maybe aggressively out of fear/pain and the other person is at first neutral but then slowly closes their fingers around the other's hands. Always feels like an indication of quiet acceptance)

that anime eye sparkle to indicate someone's feeling a lot of emotions and is on the verge of tears

there's a mundane random place where everyone inexplicably hangs out (coffee shops, libraries, etc) no matter how supernatural everyone is

" Assembling a Team" Montage (bonus: if it's for a heist)

Utilitarian antagonists only work for me if they 1) are not grifters, and are true believers, they can't just be using "for the greater good" as an excuse to be evil, they have to sincerely believe that what they're doing is for the greater good and 2) are correct and 3) it is noticeable that they are correct. The utilitarian antagonist is only compelling and complex if the great sacrifice she did for the betterment of the world actually left the world better off on net and is immediately noticeable.

Also it's better if they're not emotionless robots, the best way to portray them is exactly the opposite, as so full of empathy that it would be crippling if not bound by their rational mind.

Good trope:

(popular song plays)

Character A: OOH I LOVE THIS ONE!

*starts either mumbling or poorly singing along with it*

*nudges character B*

(Cuts self off) Sing with me.

*resumes*

Character B: *just standing there awkwardly*
