Cutesiness that ignores the characters' values and priorities in order to facilitate more cutesily perfect scenarios to make it easier to write cutesy shippy fic.

I know I sound like Toby Ziegler and I don't care. Cutesiness is poison in overdose.

This this this, a million times.

I get that it's hard to write romance IC but people could at least try. Just attaching the characters names to fluffy cutesiness does not make it in character!

Thirding that - it just makes it like you're reading about different characters.

While IA this is a frequent problem in many fandoms, this comment sounds like a specific beef. Care to elaborate? :D

It's honestly mostly a build-up of irritation from seeing this issue in so many different fandoms, but Star Trek may have been floating near the forefront of my mind, due to secret #7 ;)

This, so much. Though admittedly I might be saying that because I've a major thing for catharsis, and characters having honest, painful reactions to things in fic gets me a lot more than 'perfect happiness' or whatever. I believe in happiness, yes. Perfection, not so much. Especially not between some of the characters these fics are about.

I'm a cynic, yes. But Bruce Wayne isn't having a perfect relationship with anyone any time soon. Not without brainwashing involved, anyway.
