Tropes tropes tropes

Hello to the new friends I made on the friending meme!
I should make one of those pinned intro things at the top of my blog, but until then, if you want to get to know me you can take a look at some of my recent posts, I've introduced myself and talked a bit about my essential media and stuff there.
For everyone : I have been locking posts where I talk about personal information (mostly because I get paranoid about RL people finding me and seeing what I write about them). If I haven't given you access, it's probably because we haven't really interacted, so all you have to do is come way hi ;)
II.
I took the trope test thing because people were doing it.
Before going into the actual top five, I can already tell you the conclusion: Essentially, a lot of my fic preferences come down to the fact that I like reading about characters who are already close (good friends, lovers, whatever) rather than following people from the first meeting up to getting together, but I also love drama and angst, so most established relationship stories are too boring.
My perfect fic - and in practice, most of the ones I keep going back to - probably shows the characters getting together in the first few chapters. If a story has the love confession, the first kiss, and diving into bed all in the final chapter, chances are I'm never going back to it.
I just went through my bookmarks, and yeah: every single story has the love interests kiss, have sex, or go on a date before the halfway mark, except for the ones where they are best friends who are practically living together within the first two chapters, or where the focus is one them becoming friends and the romantic relationship is incidental (all the Harry/Draco by Saras_Girl).
( Top 5 tropes under the cut )
III.
There was no Critical Role this week, and I also had no plans on Friday and Saturday night, and I genuinely felt at a loss? What...did I used to do at the end of a work week?? It has become such a tradition for me when I don't have plans to stop working early on Fridays, don't cook for once, get some wine, watch Critical Role. Thank god it's back this week.
