Romantic Rant
Why is the romance so recycled today? It's like everyone sticks to one mold when it comes to romance in any capacity. Whether its in writing or on screen.
Unless its gay romance but we'll get into that later.
There are so many tropes that are collecting cobwebs. COMPLETELY untouched. Hell barely even explored.
So many interesting tropes I'm ITCHING to see.
Why are there no romance pieces about a mc villian. Who's a villian for the hell of it. Not because they need an excuse like childhood trauma but because they want to. and the love interest could be a hero or a bystander. An important one. Whether its in strength or connections.
And they fall in love with eachother. and the hero slowly converts to a villian. WITHOUT THE VILLIAN HAVING TO SEDUCE THEM OR COHOARSE THEM. THEY DO IT BECAUSE THEY LOVE THE VILLIAN SO MUCH. Okay.
Maybe they hide it from the villian. in fear that the villian would not love them anymore since they fell inlove with the hero side of them. but the villian finds out and reassures them that they care.
Like for example Black Fire and Connor from Titans 2018. It was blackfires (villian) dream and plan to go back to her home planet and be queen, but connor (hero) didnt want her to leave him after they'd just agreed to be a duo. So he sabotages her ship and only way back home.
She doesn't scold him or shows any hint at anger towards him. In fact she defends him against star fire who was pissed at what connor just did.
(When I say hero and villian I dont mean in the literal sense with capes and super powers. Just in general a good and bad guy.)
What about a reverse stalker trope? Kinda like the tv series YOU.
Except the mc is a sweetheart. Cries when they step on a bug types. Easy going and soft hearted. hard to please but when they are pleased. they fall hard and get obsessive. To which they admit to, though no one takes it seriously.
Love interest comes into the picture. They could be a complete nobody. A emo. Someone who's easily forgotten in a crowd. A weirdo that people tend to stray away from. been accused of murder but other than that actually pretty normal... other than the fact they've been stalking the MC and slowly inserting themselves into their lives.
They fall in love. Yada yada yada. eventually the LI finds out that the MC is connected to the murders the LI was originally accused of. So they question the MC and the MC not trying to hide it admits to everything. THe murders and eventually admitting to being the stalker and kind of manipulating the LI into thinking they were the stalker. etc etc. the MC goes onto saying it's too late to have second thoughts. it's me or death. etc
I feel like that'd be such an interesting romance show. From romantic to straight thriller.
Why are there like ZERO femdomxsubmale romances? And I'm not talking about sexually. Strictly domesticated. Like A fem character with a dominate personality dating a nerdy frail guy. Like erica and stiles.
Or Wednesday and the guy she kissed at the camp in the the addams family movie!
Or like jade and beck from victorious. (Jade was the toxic one and I dont want to here shit abt it fr.)
I literally have an original story about a queen pin x rookie cop.
Why is it that the majority of the straight romance stories with fem MC... Write them as the biggest damn red flag ever.
Why is she physically, mentally, and verbally assaulting the male love interest with the excuse of daddy issues...
This is another reason why I didnt like the enemys to lovers trope until i realize that the ones that i read werent written correctly.
This is another reason why I dont like tashiki from one piece. One of the first things she said to zoro was unbelievably offensive and unacceptable. Not to mention the fact that she likes to excuse her being WEAK because she's a woman and they are men. Talk about offensive.
I have so many on screen couples/movies/tv shows I want to talk to people about! Like:
Interview with the vampire THE SERIES. NOT THE DAMN MOVIE.
Shameless. Specifically Ian and Mickey bc they are the greatest written couple in history and the most healthy believe it or not.
And shit talk how toxic tami and lip were.
Red, White, & Royal Blue.
And literally so many more! Dm me!
