DHANUSH as LONE WOLF in THE GRAY MAN (2022)
Time travel fix-it AU, but it’s Eva Stratt who goes back in time and she never actually fixes anything.
the movie is about the time she actually wins the timeloop. she had to send her shitty pet scientist to space and when she wakes up the day after launch she's like 'really. that guy. REALLY.'
ANA DE ARMAS as DANI MIRANDA
THE GRAY MAN (2022)
rocky switching between the dry sarcastic tone "i make chain. i make long chain." / you can do that? / *yes.* (like duh. in the book he says "obvious i can do that.")
AND
the slightly childlike "what's that?" tone when grace calls it fishing
AND
full on excited screaming when grace shows him what fishing is. "OOOHHHHH OHHHH!!!"
in the span of literally six seconds is what makes him the character of all time. he is a middle aged nerd mechanic pairbonded with a middle aged nerd scientist and they are scream besties and clock bros together
fuck i love this movie so much

trope grade: mutual pining
AAAAAAA+, I love it! The good shit! The insecurity, the yearning, the misunderstandings (or better yet, serious obstacles like divided loyalties), the racheting sexual tension and longing, and the catharsis when they finally figure their shit out. *chef kiss* Fuck yeah, so delicious, I'll eat it with a spoon. Also beautiful in poly ships, with extra crunchy complications - whether it's all of them pining or an established relationship wanting someone additional.

Trope grading: time travel and coworkers
I answered time travel (plus time loops) here!
coworkers - A, I love it! Given my love for teams, crews, found family, partnership, procedurals, and competence, yeah, stories about coworkers are often very in line with that. I love people being good at what they do with other people who they care about who are also good at what they do (or learning how). If you mean in relation to ships? It's not essential but can be a good setup.
time loop/time travel for the ask game? :)
Ooh, an A, I love it! Time loops are delightful and satisfying (and if involving trying to save someone from dying, angsty and traumatic in a non-tragic way, which I love), time travel is fun in both directions, and I have a weakness for time-travel fix-its especially. I think the latter mirrors my love for canon divergence AUs - the what if, the 'for want of a nail' ripple effect, tracking down the crucial inflection points for character and plot, etc.

The Gray Man (2022): Ryan Gosling as Court Gentry "Sierra Six"
Fanfiction tropes to rate:
- friends to lovers
- arranged marriage
- alternate universe, not whatever the main people's job is
friends to lovers - Hmm, so when people cite this trope they usually mean 'childhood friends' or 'best friends' which is a D for me. For example, I was not really interested in Steve/Bucky until after CATWS, when their BFFs dynamic evolved into 'back from dead with decades of trauma and amnesia' - MUCH more my jam, lol. But on the other hand I like my ships to be friends as well as romantically involved. I'm just less interested in the 'we're really really good friends for ages but I'm terrified to confess bc what if it ruins everything' dynamic that what I associate with this trope - probably because it's happened to me, I didn't return the feelings, we talked it out, and we're still friends, so like. All the angst just doesn't really hit for me.
arranged marriage - C. Lives and dies by the author's skill at setting up the premise and maintaining whatever dramatic tension they've created as the pairing progresses from arranged to actually in love (at least, that's the usual trope). So this trope can fucking amazing and fraught and delicious! Or it can be contrived and weird/boring about gender roles and predictable.
alternate universe, not whatever the main people's job is - D. A hard sell for me. I have a huge passion for competent characters and as soon as you pull them out of their original setting that aspect becomes difficult to preserve. I certainly have and do read mundane AUs, but I'm more likely to enjoy AUs where they're still highly capable in some way. I rarely save 'they were monster hunters in canon but now they're modern high school students/baristas/etc', but 'they were monster hunters in canon and now they're spies/detectives/doctors/etc' is more likely to intrigue me. Still a hard sell, but more likely.
Found family.
A: Love it! I don't think I "spend my time combing AO3 for it" so much as I get into fandoms where the trope is baked into canon, and then read voraciously. Special fondness for close-knit teams or (space)ship crews becoming family (my early exposure to Firefly, Stargate, and other canons to blame for that), though I'm loving the Lone Wolf and Cub trope's popularity in recent years - The Witcher, The Mandalorian, my current blorbo The Gray Man, etc.
I do prefer when people keep the 'family' messy and freeform rather than trying to shove everyone into a nuclear family role - like, this character is The Dad, this one's The Mom, The Little Sister, etc. Just a 'we're family' vibe is good for me - though specific characters having a specific dynamic is normal, of course. When the role gets generalized to the whole group it can feel a little... bland? simplistic? heteronormative?

Give me a fanfiction trope and I’ll grade it:
A: Love it. Spend my time combing AO3 for it.
B: Like it. Not one of my bigger cravings, but it can scratch a certain itch if I’m in the right mood.
C: Neutral. A good author might be able to sell it, but a bad one will kill it deader than dead.
D: Not my favorite. I avoid it if I can, but it won’t necessarily put me off reading something.
F: Hate it. Will immediately make me nope out of a fic.
