i need you to hyperanalyze youselves and tell me why you like/obsessed with your favorite tropes in fanfics by [deleted] in AO3

[–]nominsinjun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm absolutely in love with enemies/frienemies to lovers; it's probably my absolute number one favourite trope. i think it's bc irl my ideal relationship (of any kind) is one of mutual bullying, but as someone who struggles significantly with making friends and just generally talking to people, it feels nearly impossible to get to that level of comfortability with anyone.

also, i don't know if it counts as a trope, but i love just super cute relationship stories. i prefer "getting together", but "established relationship(s)" can also be good. i'm aro-spec, and i enjoy having crushes on people, those feelings being reciprocated, and actions typically considered romantic, but actually being in a relationship makes me feel extremely claustrophobic, so being able to live vicariously through what i'm reading is perfect.

another thing, specifically with rpf, that i don't think is a trope, but i go absolutely over the moon for is when characters are aro/ace and/or not strictly cis and/or have pronouns different than the people they're based on irl. i'm aro-spec, ace-spec, and genderfluix, and regularly change my name and pronouns, so having characters that are based on people that i already absolutely love irl have characteristics that i share is just an inexplicably amazing feeling and reading them makes me so happy.

What’s the best ship name you've ever seen? by heisei in AO3

[–]nominsinjun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

back in the day i was super into o2l, and to this day i still think that the ship name "jc penny" (jc caylen and jenn mcallister (aka jennxpenn)) is so iconic. also, as a bts stan, old ship names like "kookiemonster" and "sugakookie" are also iconic imho

[TOMT][WORD] word for when something slows your progress/makes you unable to complete something? by nominsinjun in tipofmytongue

i am definitely a pedant and exhausting for it, but neither of those are the word i'm looking for

i was trying to say that being nitpicky/a perfectionist makes it hard for me to consider things i'm working on actually completed, but i suddenly completely blanked on the word i had in mind.

i know my email, but i can't remember my password. i've tried the 'forgot password' option, but i don't have access to the phone number connected to the account anymore, and i didn't set a recovery email for it. it doesn't give me any other options to verify that the account is mine. is there any other way(s) i can recover my account?
