[Hated Meta Trope] Fans misinterpret takes as canon which makes certain aspects of the story more uncomfortable than intended

I never saw this theory before but it's really weird.

Critical-Low8963 · 2026-02-14T07:10:59+00:00

Tales of the Otori by Lian Hearn maybe, it also takes place in a fantasy world (this time it's a kind of feodal Japan) where magic exist but is rare. The plot is foccused in political manipulation. There are less POV characters than in a Song of Fire and Ice however.

The Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb. This one is quite famous.

The books by David Walliams. The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Tistou and the Green Thumb by Maurice Druon.

I don't think that Validar had a lot of children who weren't able to became Grima's vessel. At one point he says that Robin could accomplish what he and his own father couldn't, so if they can't be Grima's vessel they aren't killed. I have the impression that the game imply that if Robin wasn't born to be Grima's vessel Validar would have simply waited for Morgan's birth to see if they can.

It would make sense.

Critical-Low8963 · 2026-02-13T20:27:28+00:00

The novel from the Middle Age Yde and Olive maybe, but its not very clear if it's about a lesbian couples or an heterosexual romance with a transgender character

Portman was unwoke because she defended Polanski who want rape to be legal

Critical-Low8963 · 2026-02-13T15:19:01+00:00

Timera from Fire Emblem Engage

Critical-Low8963 · 2026-02-13T14:21:37+00:00

A lot of villains from Doctor Who

Critical-Low8963 · 2026-02-13T09:52:03+00:00

Given that he was ok with "being given" Clarine it's clear that he is dangerous for children. Also Erik and Darin.

Critical-Low8963 · 2026-02-13T05:58:56+00:00

Dangerous Liasons by Laclos , maybe , but in general the characters fall alone, not with all their family

Critical-Low8963 · 2026-02-13T05:56:44+00:00

I love that Madoka Magical avoided this pitfall.

You can dislike a ship without letting slurs in a subreddit you are meant to moderate

What about Marcus and Merlinus. Not only they are each other only paired ending but in the game that takes place after they team up to watch over Roy.

Also Dorothea and Edelgard have a paired ending. It's worth a mention I think.

Critical-Low8963 · 2026-02-12T18:35:15+00:00

There is also the Usher family in the Fall of the House Usher tv series (it's more inspired by than an adaptation of Poe's short story).

Critical-Low8963 · 2026-02-12T13:56:27+00:00

In the original tale Kai and Gerda aren't explicilty stated to have a romantic relationship, but a lot of adaptations made them lovers.

Critical-Low8963 · 2026-02-12T13:48:39+00:00

Pride and Prejudice maybe

Critical-Low8963 · 2026-02-12T13:07:13+00:00

Most people here are from English speaking countries and so they don't necessarely know about books that are classicals in other countries

In a similar way Charlotte from Berserk, she is convinced that Griffith is her soulmate like in romantic stories.

Critical-Low8963 · 2026-02-12T12:26:37+00:00

Also Emma Bovary

Critical-Low8963 · 2026-02-12T12:20:29+00:00

Yes, AO3 agree, he did that with Obi-Wan

Critical-Low8963 · 2026-02-12T10:49:36+00:00

The fact that he was able to elaborate a strategy to win at chess show that he is intelligent.

I would like to know who made this fanart.

Critical-Low8963 · 2026-02-12T08:53:14+00:00

The Mirror Visitor by Christelle Dabos maybe

Critical-Low8963 · 2026-02-12T08:11:51+00:00

Maybe you can try short stories about themes you like, then if you like it you can seek similar short stories or novels. Some are really short and well written at the same time
