We As A Society Don't Talk Enough About This Scene, About This Moment, About This HUG. The Way He Holds

We as a society don't talk enough about this scene, about this ✨️moment✨️, about this HUG. The way he holds her closer, nuzzling her neck, his eyebrows arching. All this shows how important she became, how essential she is now. She made him believe in dreams and then turned out to be all he could ever dream of. God!! Don't mind me, I'll just go sleep on the highway.

People might find it less amusing when they already know that the book (or fanfiction) they are reading is actually an enemies to lovers. It makes it less fun because whenever the protagonist or their love interest go on a very long monologue about their hatred towards their soon to be lover, it's less thrilling. Since we already know what's coming for them hihihi 🤭. But for me, it's always been about getting to that one moment where they just go "oh no"( preferably written in italic). That moment when they realise they have been spending too much time thinking about this person that they despise so much. When they finally acknowledge that if they are pinning each other every time they meet it's because they just enjoy the proximity . It's all about that one moment and ughhhh, it drives me crazyyyy.

My favourite trope has always been slow-burn enemies to lovers. I couldn't comprehend why for a while, but I simply think that it has to do with my own expectations and standards, right?

Like beyond the sexual tension and physical attraction that you could get out of a "love at first sight" romance. Or even the mutual appreciation that's already founded in a "friends to lovers" plot. The enemies to lovers arc is usually, if not always, about how two characters came to fall in love after accepting the other's flaws and acknowledging their faults before realising they got a pretty good side. They have only seen the bad but can't seem to distance themselves from this person. Add in the slow burn when they really have seen it all at this point and still can't let them go.

And it's sad, but I have always felt like my flaws are so much more visible. They just stand out. Therefore, people may have to spend too much time with me to actually like me, let alone fall in love with me. And they probably are gonna dislike being around me before doing so as well. But then at least they know what to expect and how to manage (if that makes sense) so the relationship would hopefully last ?(〃ω〃)

What's your favourite trope and why?

Currently watching Avatar the last airbender and I realised how dangerously obsessed I am with the enemies to lovers trope. Because I'm currently rooting for katara and zuko to end up together. And I'm sure I can't be the only one, right? RIGHT ?

I love suki and sokka so much 💓. They were just two teenagers fighting in a war, trying to get by. They managed to find comfort in one another. Then they ended up falling for each other. In the midst of it all, they weren't sure if they would meet again . But when they found each other again, in jail, it was clear for both there is nothing that could separate them now.

So yeah sukka, power couple.

When Roku said " Some friendships are so strong they can even transcend lifetimes." I just cried, it was so touching.

It's such a beautiful and powerful quote and that whole episode was just a masterpiece.
