ignoring responsibilities to hurt my faves

Fics where a character gets magically turned into their younger/child selves with no memory of their adult self and everyone around them has to help take care of the child and in the process learn about their traumatizing childhood and/or realize just how much the adult self has gone through in their life my beloved

If the fic isn't half all of the characters cooing over the baby version of their friend, and half all of the characters being absolutely devastated by every "innocent but actually heartbreaking" thing the baby says revealing their fucked up childhood, what's the point.

Also!!! The de-aged character not knowing who these people are, why they're here or where their family or anyone they actually know are, but coming to realize that these new people are safe. That they won't hurt them. That everything will be okay even if they don't know what's going on. That's important too. (Especially for when they change back and remember everything and they're embarrassed that their friends saw them like that but. Relieved to have been given safety. Especially when they hadn't before, when they were really a kid.)

Bitches will find a fictional man attractive and then immediately imagine him in situations where he is losing alarming amounts of blood

having a side wound is such slut behavior tbh. like damn your waist is looking pretty grabbable right now 👀 due to needing to apply pressure to stop the bleeding. but also other factors.
