Romance...tropes
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
