I was just watching your ever after high video I miss EAH sm!! 😢😢😢

@@ville__rage bait used to be believable

@@trainnubb7373 for real 😐

Only when there done right, tho

Forbidden romance might be the plot, Romeo and Juliet

Sure, but tropes don’t need to be healthy irl to be good. The point of a story is to, well, tell a story. It’s not supposed to be a step-by-step guide to healthy relationships.

@@ohno3464 i dont think they were saying that it has to be healthy to be good? just that its... healthy ? lol

​@@ohno3464Damn calm down they weren't talking about fiction they were talking about real life like relax 😭

I mean, true love starts with friendship

Yessss!!! Right person wrong time is one of my favorite tropes 😭 I actually wrote one a couple years ago but forgot about it till now

Do you have some recs? This sounds cute

@@laurencamila9024maybe One Day?

Leaving a comment here in case if anybody recommend some ( pls mention me)

New Girl with Jess and Nick gives this

*cough cough* Star Vs. The Forces of Evil *COUGH*

This is why I hated Grease

The problem is that it fetishizes infantilization.

​@@laurencamila9024 Yeah, it's a problematic story to say the very least, but the soundtrack slaps

@@amazingzie378 what do u mean?

I mean I think you’re in the majority 😂 didn’t Taylor make a 10 minute long distrack about it

@@kingbaco1233who?

i agree

I agree like I'm uncomfortable of when a 18-25 ends up with 40-50s 😖

@@animefood0818Taylor swift

Second chance really works for me when the story starts with the relationship already broken up and there's this tension because of their history. You weren't there to see the history, you just feel the tension.

@@laurencamila9024 Mmm, yeah this is a good point! If it's all in the same thing then the audience has very little time to forgive/process feelings when the characters could've had years and that'd definitely create a disconnect. Thank you for the insight ^-^

Before we were strangers The Mistake Regretting you I don’t know if you wanted recommendations, but here are some🙃

i need to see someone do a movie decontructing this trope like i’m not a fan of Poor Things but i know that it intended to do that to the born sexy yesterday trope. If a movie hopefully not marked as romance could do that then pls. Amnesia trope always felt weird to me.

I hated it in BERSERK

I love it when the character who remembers recognizes the power imbalance and decides to grow close to them again naturally without pushing anything on the one with amnesia. It’s one of the many things I admire about the Webtoon “Stagtown.”

@@amazingzie378 yesss Stagtown is one of the best webtoons out there. I also love their latest work Cinderella Boy.

@@renoirrr I love Punko’s works SO MUCH! They’re one of my favorite Webtoon creators! I also really love Bryan Golden, if you’re interested in checking out other stuff.

They’re not really enemies tho. Also I watched that for the first time recently and didn’t really get it. There was tension for no reason and not true build up. They didn’t give them reasons to really like each other besides attraction. I found it odd

Same. It rarely feels like it's actually a complex emotional relationship between three thinking, feeling people, and instead mostly feels like two hot guys/girls fighting over the one they like while said person just kind of passively observes the whole situation. Which admittedly COULD be amusing if the object of their interests was well aware of what was going on and intentionally staying as a passive observer because they're a dick who enjoys watching the chaos unfold, but more often than not they just kind of seem to be...there. I think one of the few stories where I've seen love triangles that I actually enjoyed was Buffy the Vampire slayer. It had several throughout the show, but they were all different and interesting in their own ways - especially since no one in the triangle ever felt like they were just a passive observer with no agency in the situation.

@@ville__ dont care didnt ask your content sucks ass

@@VenathTehN3RD GOD THATS SO REAL honestly i hate when its just two random attractive people fighting for the blandest character ever with absolutely zero social awareness it gives me SO MUCHHH second hand embarassment

Lore drop I'm begging

@@Ispspsps-kl1ltIts “Once Upon A Broken Heart” ITS AMAZING

@@imnotafurry7118 stop i just read that 'm sobbing 😭

Omg yes I just finished the ballad of never after and im scared to start a curse for true love😭😭

@@GaiaisPupz I read it recently too. SOOO good but the angst omg it’s so worth it though 😭

This is the most wholesome thing I have read all week😭

EXACTLY

Omg Iron Widow is one of my favorite books! I love seeing it get more attention ❤ it’s so underrated

I love iron widow, so I can 100% recommend it. Just be aware of the fact that it's dark and you're good.

or my darcy and elizabeth for enemies to lovers like they’re the blueprint !! 😭

But peeta didnt have amnesia. He was brainwashed to be kind of sleeper agent to kill Katniss. He still knows and remembers Katniss, its just most of his memories were altered or warped by his Capital conditioning.

I feel like there's a difference between a legit slow burn and having quirky coincidences constantly ruin ship moments for 4 seasons straight (still love it tho)

It's not a slow burn, bc it wasn't burning at all

@@kamota8523it was a dumpster fire

Yes!!! Business Proposal is my very favorite, an amazing example of the Fake Dating Trope

I didn't watch "Titanic", so i went to search about the relationship between these two and to see how bad it was, and... 30 and 17?!

was definitely a good movie. use of music, silence, and camera work was so creative and hardly seen nowadays. however, i didn’t like the ending because it felt so vague. BUT 10/10 movie frfr

Honestly, I'd say that's probably also something worth noting with any of these tropes: there tend to be a lot of different variations that may be more or less likable depending on the details. The "Pure Girl + Bad Boy (who is a player)" scenario is different than the "Pure Girl + Bad Boy (who is troubled but not a genuinely bad person)" scenario , and both are different from the "Pure Girl + Bad Boy (who is just a legitimate psychopath)" scenario, and that sort of thing. Since both "Pure Girl" and "Bad Boy" are pretty vague categories that can fit a lot of their own different individual sub-tropes, combining them into a relationship creates an even larger number of possible options that could be anything from 100% relationship goals to absolutely toxic and gross depending on how it's handled.

@@VenathTehN3RD I forgot about the psychopath bad boy! That's also a 50/50 for me. When it's a "yandere", I like it, but when it's a dark romance novel "psychopath", I dislike it (based on book reviews I've seen on YT, I know I would drop the book instantly).

@@burnt_samosa For me, I think the difference between a good and bad "psychopath bad boy" tends to tie into the author's awareness and execution of it. When an author is aware of how messed up the character is and actually uses it as a significant point in the plot/character development is when the trope is at its best. The trope is at its worst when the author writes someone who behaves like a complete psychopath but seems to be completely oblivious to how messed up the character's actions are, with the result being that the characters (and world in general) don't treat the character like the horrible person they are no matter what horrible things they do...because the author doesn't seem to think that what they're doing is bad. And of course, as with any trope, a lot tend to fall somewhere in between.

i’m of average height and i dont get the hype either. it just feels like you described- being a physically manifested power imbalance. also how do you do the super cute forehead touch/lean thing 😭

@@renoirrr literally!! Forehead touches makes the world go round

I'm not short but I agree it always disturbed me, I don't want my partner being that much taller than me. Seeing it in film is even more strange they look like a literal child compared to their partner and if its an enemies to lovers, age-gap or bad guy innocent girl type of relationship its even more unsettling. Not to come at anyone in that dates anyone with height differences its just me.

@@cloutwolf5665 YES EXACTLY. That’s what I was getting at when I said “emphasised”. It’s just really uncomfortable

@@Scatterbrained_Watching thank you I’m glad it’s not just me, I actually saw a video of an animated story using sims 4 the game (and other softwares) about a wolf boy falling for a bunny girl or something, and the thumbnail was a full grown man like licking a face of a LITERAL CHILD, she legit looked like a 10 year old character, I clicked and saw everyone in the comments eating it up. So gross.

i LOVE a good secret identity

Miraculous was a mix of secret Identity & slow burn trope

What about the mind-control trope? They've both been brainwashed by a villain during the initial run.
