Another thing i crave to read is a love story where the romantic connection is a minor element, and character exploration is the main focus. Where the romantic dynamic exists chiefly as a means of developing the characters (as opposed to character development serving the romance).

I'm interested to read fantasy stories where racism - white supremacy specifically - is not entirely absent but is a dying ideology that lingers only as a faint remnant of the very distant past, surviving in just a few isolated or cult-like societies. I'm especially interested in seeing a villain or a group of villains who aspire to revive it through colonization, insidious social engineering, or any other means of reshaping society.

People treating a viral post as a life achievement when it brings them nothing but fleeting internet attention will never stop being pathetic to me.

I knew I was officially out of the BNHA fandom when a whole year had passed without me engaging with it at all, not even with new releases or when annoying people randomly commented on my old posts. A week ago, an incredibly unhinged Enji hater wrote entire paragraphs bitching about the ending and my reaction to it and i just calmly deleted their replies and blocked them. Feels good, lol.

I hate how cliquey writing groups could be. I saw a new member experss their struggle with writing their WIP and one of the mods went 'ummm can you phrase this as a question so we could have a productive conversation?'. A while later I saw that same mod in the same channel saying shit 'i thought i had writer's block but then I got 1000 useful shower thoughts for my WIP'. OK? Where's the question there? How can we have a productive conversation about the craft when you're just yapping? Ridiculous.

Limited social self-awareness was my most humiliating experience growing up 🥲, and i have a mighty need to read a cathartic horror story about it. I just know a good horror story with an open and vaguely hopeful ending will help me process shame and cope with social anxiety. Maybe I should write it someday.

The enemies-to-lovers trope is about two people who genuinely hate each other for a valid reason and are openly antagonistic toward one another. That’s it. It’s incredibly annoying when people insist the trope only counts if the two are mortal enemies willing to kill each other or actively trying to. I understand that this comes from reacting to the nonsense claim that “enemies” can just mean two people who mildly dislike each other for petty reasons, but this is an extreme overcorrection, and I can’t stand it.
