So often, the story doesn't simply have one plot, but many.

Tropes I Hate
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Oct. 2, 2021
So maybe the verb ‘hate’ is excessive, but there are some tropes that can really throw me off a story. Or perhaps, what throws me is the way they are used. I firmly believe that any trope can be part of a solid, enjoyable story, even the ones I hate ...

Through the power of imagery, and what we choose to add or leave out of ...
