CANNOT RESIST, GOOD GOD. I mean, the Anastasia and Swan Princess ones alone. Gimme gimme gimme. Partners in crime is so Jake and Amy btw. Lost princess, rebel princess, all the princesses. Okay I don't ship Cap and Natasha at all but the kiss of distraction in Winter Soldier still made me squeal (bc the only thing wrong with those movies is the lack of kissing). Belligerent. Sexual. Tension. Yes. Affectionate nicknames killlllllll meeeeeeee. Loveable rogues (HI GEORGE), the prince and the pauper, omg the call is inside the graveyard you are my favorite, grand gestures :D All of this, forever and ever, amen.Morgan @ The Bookish Beaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05455877395068242798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-55019100540725270922016-02-25T09:32:26.594-05:002016-02-25T09:32:26.594-05:00"the truth is that tropes are neither inheren..."the truth is that tropes are neither inherently good nor bad. It's all how you use them" very yes<br /><br />On the one hand, I'm a bit tired of the "there's a lost princess and surely it's not our heroine OMG IT IS" books, but I will also always read those books so...<br /><br />YES REBEL PRINCESS HOLLA.<br /><br />That's my favorite friends to lovers trope, so long as it doesn't involve much pining, which can irritate the shit out of me. But like Catching Jordan? YASSS.<br /><br />OR WATTSCROFT.<br /><br />Hate to love = best forever. Especially when everyone is shipping them and it just makes them more stubborn. Outside shippers give me great joy; it's almost like I'm in the book.<br /><br />GENDERBENDING<br /><br />Love triangles can be the best.<br /><br />SHUT UP KISS. BEATRICE AND BENEDICK 4 LYF.<br /><br />FAKE-OUT MAKE-OUT YESSSSSSSSSS. They are my favorite things ever. Well, also surprise kisses (see: A Room with a View).<br /><br />"whenever business gets srs and he calls her Blue" - also it's probably all the classics, but when people use one another's given names for the first time instead of nicknames or last names, that gives me a MESS of feels.<br /><br />TANGLED MESS OF SHIPS YES<br /><br />Fuck prophecy<br /><br />Also hear for rogues always and forever, as long as they're not assfaces.<br /><br />fine with conceal don't feel only I'm tired of people with AWESOME FUCKING POWERS being like "I wish I didn't have magic" and I'm like motherfucker what I would have given to go to Hogwarts. (It's different if your magic is like killing someone when you touch them or something bc then kissing HOW? [obviously the answer is the person with opposing powers, the only one who can touch you, who conveniently is also your one true love])<br /><br />When Villains Become Love Interests LOGAN AND VERONICA LOGAN AND VERONICA LOVE<br /><br />"Will They Won't They?<br />They will" correct answer<br /><br />omg dance of romance yesssssssssssss<br /><br />UST UNF<br /><br /><br />Ragged band of misfits/found family - the feels, all of them<br /><br />A Villain Protagonist. Oh hey it's also Six of Crows.<br /><br />"Well behaved ladies rarely make history" dear god yes and like anyone who's all "but historical women were not usually like this" can fuck right off<br /><br />I can see what's happening (WHAT) and they don't have a clue (WHO)<br /><br />Damsel out of Distress - YASSSSSSSSSSSS<br /><br />Ship Teasing and Getting Close - omg omg omg omg just wait<br /><br />It was all JUST A DREAM<br />Invincible Hero - these two are like my least favorites (and the latter really ties into the chosen one thing)<br /><br />Adding to the list of horrible tropes - <br />Friends to lovers where the one friend has been obviously in love for ages and the other friend "returns that love" but has a series of relationships/affairs with other people because they know the friend will wait<br />Amnesia - almost never done right - I SEE YOU REMEMBERING THINGS JUST AS YOU MUST TO MOVE THE PLOT ALONG, COLE<br />Second love interest syndrome - basically a poorly done love triangle WHERE SHE SHOULD END UP WITH DAN GODDAMNIT<br />Corollary to the chosen one - when there's a powerful heroine and no other strong ladies<br />Gay best friend with no other diverse rep<br />Romances with huge age gaps (there's nothing wrong with it, but it doesn't get my heart racing, unless it's Daine and Numair)<br />MPDG<br /><br />Not adding any favorites bc let's be real it's your list and hmmmm I wonder if this is why we agree so often...Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-56618026073472256242016-02-25T08:27:13.279-05:002016-02-25T08:27:13.279-05:00THIS IS THE BEST POST IN THE HISTORY OF BESTEST PO...THIS IS THE BEST POST IN THE HISTORY OF BESTEST POSTSWandering Meanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05361107666927948099noreply@blogger.com
