What media cliches are you sick of?

[(Anonymous)]

Mine are love triangles.

Re: What media cliches are you sick of?

[philstar22]

Main characters who are generally terrible and only rooted for because the villains are so much worse.

Generally media where everything is hopeless and everyone is terrible and it is impossible to really root for anyone.

For love triangles, what I'm sick of is ones where one of the characters turns out to be terrible so it isn't really a legit triangle where both characters have an equal shot with the third.

Love triangles that are choose A or B bore me. I'm ok with love triangles that end up in both ships happening in a poly way though.

MISCOMMUNICATION! Least favorite thing of all time. Especially when it could be cleared up in two seconds.

[greghousesgf]

man and woman smacking the fuck out of eachother and then suddenly kissing.
I'll be happy if I never see this one again.

Keeping toxic family close by, forced forgiveness, abortions that psychologically and/or physically destroy the one who was pregnant, shoehorned het romances.

I'd like to see a well-written love triangle. Where there's not the obvious Good Choice and Bad Choice but rather all involved are Good Choices and it's a matter of timing never really making sense or events going on or... I don't know.

I'm tired of anti-heroes. Give me a real goddamn hero. A good person, someone nice, someone kind.

One True Love.

Subverting a trope for the sake of subverting it to show that they're savvy enough to be aware of tropes, when it makes no sense for the story.

When I was a teen I remember reading a Yuu Watase manga - they often used love triangles. In the notes of one of the volumes, they mentioned that they found the female character in a love triangle unlikable unless she for the most part is pretty much decided. The second guy comes in as a temptation for when things get really hard and it's like, yeah this would actually be nice if I could just feel enough for this other person to rule out the first.

I maintain to this day that this is one of the saving graces of Bella Swan. She may have been in a triangle but she was really fucking firm about which one she actually wanted, and she stuck to her boundaries. I don't like Edward but Jacob was such a massive piece of shit about "romancing" her.

Mom loves the kids more than she loves Dad, Dad loves Mom more than he loves the kids. I actually made a secret about this a while back; it was about how I loved that on Bob's Burgers, when the family was about to die and they were all professing love for each other, Bob says he loves Linda "almost as much as the kids" and that was perfectly okay.

Toxic sarcastic relationships (insulting/pranking is "bonding") are squad goals/normal

Red herring villains

Breaking the 4th wall

Poverty porn

When a certain plot twist/reveal is visible to the audience from a mile away but it takes ages for it to be revealed in canon. Especially annoying When it's still treated (aimed at the audience, not the canon xharacters) like this big shock twist that clearly NOBODY expected.

At the same time, a plot twist/reveal getting pulled out of thin air with zero foreshadowing just for the sake of being shocking is ALSO annoying.

Most of them, that's why I'm in fandom. To name a few, I'd say, older guy, younger woman and other usual sexist, racist, you name it awfulness, way too much stuff revolving around sex and romantic relationships and little else, LEOs or related characters being horrible law-breaking criminals because the ends justify the means or similar BS, nobody having or dealing with all the horrible trauma they went through.

The team movie with banter formula. We've had like 30 years of this.

Weekend Plans!

[kaijinscendre]

What is everyone doing this weekend?

I'm visiting my sister and we are going shopping for our trip in two weeks! I need a pair of pants, some shirts, new shoes, and makeup. So everything. 😬

Will also be finishing the OW anniversary and WoW events!

Re: Weekend Plans!

[philstar22]

We have a speaker from Tres Rios coming. OUr group is having dinner with him tomorrow, he's speaking after church sunday, and then I'm taking him for coffee and then to the airport.

Tomorrow I will be cleaning out my car. :)

Other than that, resting and kitty time. Watching youtube videos.

Re: Weekend Plans!

[kama_blackbird]

Working, mainly. I was about to wrap up my side gig's share of work for the month, but then my main one dropped a load of assignments on me with a vague but urgent deadline. Hahaha, what is my life...

Re: Weekend Plans!

[(Anonymous)]

I just got an email reminder for an event I signed up for on Sunday, which I absolutely forgot about so I am very happy for the email! It is a stained glass workshop! A friend wanted to do it but didn't want to go alone so I signed up with them. Kind of pricey but it should be fun.

I find shopping for trips equal parts fun and stressful. I hope ypu enjoy ot and find all you need!

I'm doing some graphic design work for my retail job (Christmas stuff, magazine ads/posters/greetings cards etc) and they'd like it done before I start my week's leave on Monday, so I'll be crunching that. I'm so paranoid that everything will look fine on my screen but once it's blown up and printed there'll be dumb little gaps and mistakes I missed. D:

Hope you have a lovely time with your sis!

Media that "Defined Your Life"

[(Anonymous)]

Do you have something? What is it?

How much worldbuilding do you like in your NSFW AUs?

[(Anonymous)]

Inspired by the omegaverse worldbuilding thread yesterday!

Do you prefer fic that gets into how soulmates "work" and how it affects society, etc, or fic that's just focused on the kinky/angsty stuff without worrying about details? Do you like omegaverse with heavy worldbuilding or no? A mix of both?

Depends for me on my mood, sometimes I'm more interested in a plot, sometimes I only care about my ship!

Rest in Peace Maggie Smith

[(Anonymous)]

She was 89 and had been acting for over seven decades. She was awesomely acerbic as Violet Crawley in Downton Abbey and she made a superior Mother Superior in Sister Act. She was a great actor in many, many projects for the stage and screen. She will be missed.
