Sentences in a different language than the one the story is written in - it's always awkward, but especially so if they didn't even bother to just ask for a proper translation and use an online translator. Don't ever do that.

When in a smut scene, biting or scratching someone turns into a bloodbath. Unless the characters have some sort of sharp teeth or claws, it's not that easy to break skin to actually draw so much blood that it "runs down his back in small rivulets". Also: When someone balls his fists angrily and draws blood instantly. What kind of super sharp nails do you have on those fingers, damn it?

When someone drops the terms "seme" or "uke" as a completely normal term for dom and sub.

People who describe eyes as ~*orbs*~. Or all those terrible gem colours when they talk about eyes.

When authors keep using the same ~funny lines~ a character had in a movie. Once. Give Tony Stark some credit - he is very creative with his nicknames and generally has a new one for everyone in every new scene. So can the Capsickles and Reindeer Games, okay?

Can I skywrite this over the entirety of the MCU fandom?

And other forms of canon. No, professional author, I assure you that we'll still recognize Tony Stark without the "millionaire genius playboy" line, and Thor does not have to be wrestling bilgeshnipes every time we see him.
