all of my faves are problematic, don't @ me

1) fucked up and doubtlessly unhealthy power dynamics, this can operate on a sliding scale and reverse at times
elf trash
1a) this can translate to like Lifestyle S&M shit which is hilarious because it is extremely uninteresting to me as an actual person in a relationship but I like it very much in storytelling
elf trash
2b) otherwise just FORBIDDEN LOVE as long as it's not incest or like. one-sided and gross or illegal or whatever
elf trash
2) Doomed Romance, I guess this is a subset of forbidden love
elf trash
but people who for whatever reason can't and won't ever fully be together and always wish they could be
elf trash
and/or one of them dies and/or kills the other
six to one
ugh, 100 times yes
elf trash
3) Horrible Messy Shitshows That Are Bad For Everyone without necessarily being doomed in the cosmic sense
elf trash
I once got to RP the antagonist in a love triangle who actually stole a character's boyfriend away by manipulating both of them and it was horrible and also extrEMELY fun (everyone consented OOC)
elf trash
in case it isn't immediately clear why I have only ever successfully shipped my characters twice in six years of FR and why those ships have occurred 90% offscreen,
elf trash
I am occasionally caught off-guard by really sweet dynamics though and that's been largely how that happens
elf trash
namely Cade and Nari, Teren and Loghain, and now Barrow and Tiffany but there's also an element of forbidden-ness to all of them at least
elf trash
somehow all het, hilariously
elf trash
I feel like the sweet things have to happen organically and, like with all of the above, catch me completely by surprise over time. I can't plan for sweet ships because then I get bored too fast
elf trash
gotta be that sudden 'oh no they're cute' realization
elf trash
it's tricky to get into anything too deeply without starting to unpack my actual irl feelings about love and attraction and there's no reason to do that here, but it's safe to say I Love Mess (At A Distance)

fuckin'. bene LMFAO
elf trash
he used to be so suave (he thinks)
elf trash
heel turning took his fangs away
elf trash
everything was easier when he could just fool around with people and then ghost them while being extremely rich and powerful
elf trash
the good old days

my favorite genre of anything is Charismatic Shitheads Getting Theirs and the fallout thereof so. it's all right there on the tin ig
