Tropes you want more of

[philstar22]

The opposite of yesterday's thread. What tropes do you want to see more of? What tropes do you wish were more popular?

Re: Tropes you want more of

[(Anonymous)]

More platonic friends! I hate the whole trope where everybody in the friend group eventually dates each other, just let people be friends!

I mean there can be some couples within the friend group, but I just don't want the "if they are close friends they eventually try dating at some point or are secretly romantically attracted" kind of trope.

Ride or die friendships that aren't toxic. Found Family that doesn't get weird about slotting people into specific mom/dad/sibling roles and basically getting all OOC in the traditional nuclear family role-playing approach.

Villains who are just evil for fun.

Platonic friends who are the opposite sex.

Healthy and happy families outside of sitcoms.

More platonic friends, please!

Re: Tropes you want more of

[(Anonymous)]

Another vote for platonic friends.

Also, good parents who don't tragically die. I know that's a motivator in some cases but it's played out.

I love the arranged marriage trope where the couple starts off as not enemies, per se, but not romantically interested in one another. It's a business arrangement, or a political alliance, that kind of thing. Maybe they even have someone they're in love with, but cannot be with. But over time, the married couple finds out they really like and respect one another, that they're a team, etc. and it leads to a romance.

Music You Discovered on Youtube

[philstar22]

Is there any music artist or particular song you first discovered on Youtube?

Re: Music You Discovered on Youtube

[(Anonymous)]

I discovered Frank Turner via youtube. I can't remember if it was just his music on yt or if it was via fanvids though.

Linkin Park through a Naruto AMV.

Discovered Yaelorke through randomly clicking a video, but mostly find new music through fanvideos.

I used to get a lot of good techno, hip-hop, and dubstep recs from cosplay music videos, but people have really slacked off lately. idc about your fave, how about finding some obscure shit that fits your vibe better?

I found Crestfallen, Tobu, and Sim Gretina via cospay vids; the first hasn't put out music in years but Tobu is still making music and while Sim Gretina doesn't, their remixes of both pop music and fandom-based filk are honestly incredible. Their remixes of "Blue" and "Walk the Dinosaur" are beter than the originals.

Tobu at least got me to find NoCopyrightSounds, which has some amazing artists like Lensko. Youtube music is a consant web of rabbit holes, so you can find good shit when you're looking for it. But also follow your favorite artists from other streaming platforms, so they can have a smidge of extra pennies of income. I follow Celldweller, Blue Stahli, Zardonic, Fury Weekend, Dance With the Dead, Two Steps From Hell, Lindsey Sterling, etc, which is a mixed bag of content. Sometimes you find out your favorite band is touring and will be in a city you can reach! (Dance With the Dead) Other times you find out that the artist is a dumbfuck who just posts inane shorts like it's TikTok and they need to shut the fuck up (Lindsey Sterling). You really don't know until you follow.

discovered Coulda Been Me by the Struts thanks to a fan made FVM of Hades game

Re: Music You Discovered on Youtube

[(Anonymous)]

I first heard Imagine Dragons songs in AMVs, without knowing they were from the same band or that said band was very popular.

The same goes for Shake It Off.

Two Steps from Hell

Ayreon. There was a really well done AMV for Final Fantasy VII Advent Children set to a song from the Human Equation album. I wish I could find the AMV again.

Secrets you don't want to make...

[(Anonymous)]

... but you wouldn't mind if someone else made them for you! As always, including the fandom and full character names is a big help, and while I'm definitely not the world's greatest expert at secret design, I'll try my best. Please note that secrets with lots of text are sometimes difficult to accommodate. Most of the time, I'll give it a shot but might not be able to make secrets where the text is so lengthy that I can't fit it into the limited space.

I'll monitor this thread until tomorrow's secret post goes up, so feel free to leave your comments until then!

Yours truly,

a secret maker

P.S. Please don't worry if you've submitted a secret and it hasn't been posted yet. I usually post these threads before running out of the previous batch of secrets to get a head start on the next batch.

I like M/F ships, a lot of them. But when it comes to PWPs, I'll only read M/F if it is BDSM. That isn't because those are even my kinks, either. Just like in the romance/erotica publishing world, in fanfic a vast majority of M/F PWPs are thinly disguised BDSM without the rules and boundaries and without the tag. If your male character is barking orders, that's at least D/s, please stop pretending otherwise.

I love both Star Wars EU and new canon. But of all the characters who could have been transferred from one to the other, I wish it had been anyone but Thrawn. He's seriously overrated.

I miss hopeful media. I'm sick of the dark and depressing everything. Can we please bring back some hope? I want media that is a genuine escape from the real world, not a replica. You are creating fictional worlds, they don't have to mirror our own.

I feel bad for Chappell Roan. I feel like we are witnessing a not-so-slow mental breakdown. Girl just needs to stop and focus on the music, and ignore the internet for a bit.

I don't know why the recent Dave Grohl drama upset me and made me surprisingly disappointed, but it did. I didn't know I had expectations of him.

Do you romance the aliens/non-humans?

[(Anonymous)]

I am all about every option other than boring human but at the end of the day it comes down to character personality for my romancing options in video games.

What “bad” things do you love?

[(Anonymous)]

Inspired by a comment on #1. What media do you genuinely enjoy even though they’re not considered good? I could spend all day listing mine.
