Romantic Tropes Meme
Romantic Tropes Meme


HOW TO PLAY
- Comment with your character and preferences.
- Comment to others.
- THAT'S IT YOU'RE PLAYING.
PROMPTS
- School Romance: Oh, I hope senpai notices me...or the cute class president, or the head of cooking club, or -
- Childhood Crush: You've known each other for a long time, but one of you had to leave when you were kids. Now you're back together, and the dynamic is totally different. This also often involves a "childhood marriage proposal," where the naive party promises marriage and the other takes it seriously.
- Love Note: The note you left the object of your affection might be a bit passive, but you can't confess face to face!
- You're Like Family to Me: The two of you have been close forever, so you've never seen each other like that...until now.
- Tsundere: G-geez, idiot, it's not like I like you or anything! I was just worried...worried, okay? Don't make me slap you!
- Kuudere/Ice Queen (King): I have no interest in things like "love" or "romance." They are the least important things in this world.
- Yandere: You don't like me anymore? How...? Oh, that's alright. I'll make you LiKe Me.
- Unlucky Friend: You lost the person of your dreams to someone else, perhaps because of their allure or perhaps because you never spoke up. What can you do now?
- Red String of Fate: That person? You know you're totally meant for them! So what if you've never talked? You have the red string of fate!
- I'll Cheer You On: Always supportive, always by your side, they're the person you can count on. Why do they care so much, though?
- Harem: One guy. Lots of girls. Craziness ensues.
- Reverse Harem: One girl. Lots of guys. Craziness ensues.
- Head Patting: Apparently a great way to show you care, both for dogs and for humans.
- Indirect Kiss: Your lips touched that. Their lips touched that. OH MY GOD IT'S LIKE YOU KISSED.
- Slap-Slap-Kiss: I could kill you for what you just did! I could - I could KISS YOU.
- Confession in the Heat of the Moment: You're about to go defeat the ultimate baddie. How about confessing your feelings to the person you love? Seems legit.
- Food for Thought: I made you lunch. Want to share?
- Repaying a Debt: You broke a vase, ruined somebody's priceless something-or-another, and now you have to be their servant until you pay it off!
- I'll Be Your Dog: Or you don't owe that person anything, you just wait on them hand and foot and hope they'll appreciate you one day.
- The Kind of ____ You Like: You want to change yourself to the type that the object of your desire wants.
- One-Sided Love: Sadly, still a trope here. As always, a heart will be broken. But maybe, just maybe, the love isn't unrequited. Maybe the other person isn't aware!
- Jerk/Sweetheart: The pairing of a stoic jackass and a manic pixie dream.
- Misunderstood Delinquent: You're not what you seem. You just want to give flowers to that cute girl, not run her over with your motorcycle!
- Fight for You: I won't lose the hand of my girl/guy to the likes of you!
- Sudden Kiss: Kiss from nowhere! There are lots of reasons for this: to stop someone from crying, to make them be quiet, or just to explain yourself when words can't.
- Kiss on the Forehead: It's a sweet way to say "I love you."
- Physical Difference: Usually size difference - and then, it's usually big guy/tiny girl, though big girl/tiny guy is explored as well - though this is present in a lot of different ways.
- Class Difference: You live in a culture that is still greatly stratified by class, whether it be wealth or power structures.
- Oh, My Goddess!: Uh-oh, you accidentally summoned an angel/demon/alien/god/goddess. And now they're bound to you forever! But at least you can stay just friends...or something like that.
- Teach Me To Become Human: A robot, an alien, a god, a demon, or anything beyond our human knowledge wants to know more about our emotions - from you and your love.
- Single-Gender School: For all the yaoi and yuri fans out there, don your uniforms and remember that Maria is watching.
- The Silent Protector: In love with his/her charge, but never able to act on it.
- The Perfect Waifu/Husbando: They are so graceful, so lovely, so kind, you've really lucked out!
- To Make My Beloved Happy: You will do anything for the person you love, even if that means not being with them.
- WILDCARD

Kyouya Ootori | Ouran High School Host Club | OTA
no subject
[When it comes to the sheer number of admirers and romantic prospects, Kyouya pretty much has the rest of the school licked. He's handsome, intelligent, and rich. Even girls with boyfriends will leave him secret love notes to entertain the wild fantasy of trading up.]
[As such, Orihime doesn't have any illusions about her chances. She's not rich, and her family lineage? Laughable, if not downright questionable -- if she ever told anyone else about it, anyway. She knows she'd never be normal enough to fit in with a family as prestigious as his, no matter how polite and respectful she can be.]
[But even so? Call her selfish, but she still enjoys his company. His sharp wit is kind of awesome to behold, and she knows how kind he can be, even when he's overworked and stressed out. He watches out for his friends, giving them a gentle nudge without being overbearing about it. Seeing him smile makes her happy, and really, that's enough. It really is enough.]
[Someone told her it's his birthday today, and that surprised her. She thought it was in the fall! It didn't give her much time to prepare, but she rolled up her sleeves and baked him a giant, elaborately decorated cupcake. Whether he likes sweets or not, it's traditional. He doesn't have to eat it. She stayed up way too late trying to perfect the gift, so as she waits for him to attend the club meeting, she found herself thinking, what was the harm in resting her eyes just for a bit? Her head starts to dip as her eyelids grow heavy, and she slumps down in her chair...further...further...]
[Then she catches the very faint smell of his signature scent. Her eyes snap open. Immediately Orihime scrambles up to her feet and bows.]
Happy birthday, Ootori-kun!
[She gestures to the table.]
I made you a small cake to celebrate!
[There's nothing on the table. There is, however, a student leaving through the opposite door licking frosting off of her fingers.]

Alleyne - the Headless Horseman ♞ OC ♞ Prefer F/M
love note obvs
He put to paper the image he'd held of her in his mind, statuesque in a long, tight fitting gown. Instead of a crown of jewels he adorned her head with a crown of thorns, as she was the queen of the humans' suffering. He even included her accursed horse, whom he realized he regretted not having the chance to win over.
By the time he was happy with it, his anger was replaced with regret. As a peace offering, he rolled the drawing tight, had it tied with red ribbon trimmed in black, and had it sent to her by means of a vampire he compelled to essentially stalk the dying until she showed up.
oooooobvs :P
