Especially When Theres Plot In The Og Content That Can Only Make Sense In The Original World - Tumblr Posts

Hey- C’mere- Whisper to me, what kind of AU can you just not like?
Tags :
Either Coffee shop or Modern AUs
Specifically high school ones
do i really need to explain?
“Congrats! You took a magical/medieval world with specific rules and worldbuilding
“and turned it into a 2015 cliche with little to no modern equivalent for the magical stuff”
and then the plot is protagonist simping over love interest
Which is kinda like
80 percent of fics so it’s understandable
but the way it’s executed is kinda boring because I feel like there’s no real stakes
especially when there’s plot in the og content that can only make sense in the original world
Like for example: you can get executed for using magic in Camelot
And then that is either completely ignored in modern AUs or it’s been translated to something way less drastic
Like being socially unaccepted or something
Also i don’t like imagining something like The Prince of The Fire Nation
Being like the son of a CEO or just the popular kid or something
sorry for rambling
if you like modern aus then go for it but personally it’s not my cup of tea
