Consider this typical fantasy story:
There was once a young handsome man who was good with the sword, excellent with everyone in the village he lived with, and loved and cherished by all. However, he was unhappy because the one girl he fell in love with did not love him ...

Tropes I love: The Bargain
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, March 19, 2022
So it's fun to rant about tropes I hate but I actually prefer to gush about tropes I love.

I just can't quit you, Star Wars!

Another December and Another Gift to Fans
Banes at 12:00AM, Dec. 23, 2021
