Tropes that are totally overused and I love them to death

agirlnameded

  • grumpy jerk and actual ray of sunshine are BFFs
  • mutual unrequited pining
  • character A falls fast and hard for character B
  • character A slowly falls in love with character B over the course of several years, realization hits them that they’ve been in love with B for a long time hits them like a truck
  • cool badass is actually a giant fucking nerd
  • The Power of Friendship ™
  • flat “what” reactions
  • sweet adorable characters with horrible tragic pasts
  • villains-turned-heroes becoming the Weird Uncle
  • characters that aren’t actually related having a parent-child relationship
  • characters that aren’t actually siblings having a sibling-like bond
  • “I can’t stand this person but I would die for them”

Argh, dammit. Yes. Yes to almost all of these. Also:

  • “surrender all your weapons” *four hours later they’re still producing knives from impossible places*
  • “I’m sure X will be fine” *cut to X screaming while approximately Everything Goes Horribly Wrong*
  • ridiculously co-dependent pairs who are basically joined at the hip
  • that thing where someone is hanging their head then looks up and their eyes narrow and UH OH SHIT’S ABOUT TO GET REAL
