While there was time, I compiled a list of my favorite romantic and aromantic love tropes.
The characters are united by a common cause/common passion. Something that they both love very much, let it be helping people or a hobby, something that makes them wake up in the morning. Loving each other becomes a side effect of their common activities, love is understood as a dynamic, collaborative and creative process. Even better, if these two people have different reasons to love this "something", they have a chance to rethink their beliefs and see the old thing in a new way.
"You're looking at me and you don't see me. Do you have any idea what it's like?" When character A ignores, does not notice, or is dismissive for no reason to Character B, who wishes him well. Then, of course, the feeling of constant invisibility gets boring for character B, or their feelings were hurt in some way, and they were frankly disappointed in character A, so they either take direct offense or ignore and distance themselves from this person. That's when this happens, then Character A realizes what a fool he was and couldn't see what was right in front of their noses.( Flipped)
Characters sharing a common trauma or having a common pain, which they see reflected in each other. Or having similar behaviors that are a direct consequence of that injury.When they look and realize, damn, it's exactly the same shit as mine, an experience that only they can understand, knowing that there's someone around who understands what you're like, you're not alone in this feeling. When there is this blind trust between the characters. This is probably my favorite trope in the world, and it would be great if all the authors could do it properly. (I see bowtie everywhere).
To understand that you love someone only after that person's death. Yes, it's about Friren. When understanding about feelings comes to you only after the person has already left, it may even be several years after their death. When a character can be in love and not even notice it. As long as a person is around, the brain can protect, mistake feelings for a habit or friendship. When he leaves forever, barriers disappear, and the truth becomes vivid and unbearable. In general, it's quite noticeable how much I love the effect of absence in different guises. :))
monster romance.Right here:https://www.tumblr.com/liklilili/818882960646406144/anyway-concept-the-two-people-pleaser-comfort?source=share I've already written why I like it. But in short, love for a non-human being serves as a powerful metaphor for radical acceptance, freedom from the condemnation of society, and finding intimacy in unexpected places.
The love of the pilot and the ship. The first thing that comes to mind is the Doctor and the TARDIS, I LOVE INTELLIGENT SHIPS! In general, I'm a big fan of machines that can feel, even if not in the most familiar sense. Whatever kind of relationship there was between them, you can see how strong the bond between them is. It's a lifelong commitment.
Being in love with a city or a job. The very type of love that unfortunately has very little written about, the love of the city, when the streets, houses and sunsets over the roofs cause the same awe and joy as a loved one. The city becomes alive: it gets its own character, voice, smell and rhythm, and ordinary walks turn into dates. But the "Love of work" trope is generally finding a trail in the snow.
