I revert to talking about tropes I hate, because I don't want to talk about things happening around us but I still want to talk about something I despise.
Tropes I hate it is!
The horrible slap n' kiss or “slap slap kiss” trope.
Especially prevalent in lakorns (Thai ...

The Disaster Episode is a template that I noticed in the different Star Trek series from the 90's.
It's a neat way to separate a big cast of characters into different small groups. And when it's done well, it can be very powerful and show a different ...
The Twist

I remember the first time I watched The Others in the cinema. (how I miss going there…)
It was an awesome experience. Not only because the horror/thriller film was excellently shot with really good actors, but because it played with shadows and your mind in an elegant but unforgiving ...
The Fae
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Jan. 22, 2022
Usually when we think about fairies, the mind goes to tiny beautiful girls with butterfly wings and a ton of sparkles. At their most threatening, we got the token fiesty Tinkerbell.

Ah, public transportation. A favorite bastion for random encounters with strangers from various walks of life.
In the early days of riding, a chance encounter on public transit would usually be drowned out using a variety of props: stereo-headphones; a pair of sunglasses; face mask; eye mask; inflatable neck pillow ...
Wereravens and Owl Bears, Oh My!
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Jan. 3, 2022
I wandered into one of those gaming shops that specialized in acrylic hobby paint, paintbrushes, and miniature figurine kits while locally window shopping for the holiday. The interaction went like this:
