"we should all kill ourselves": building community and connection, ideologically correct
"that trope is so overused in fanfiction"
no. i have never once looked at fanfic and thought "i wish there weren't so many amortentia Aus" "i wish they didn't always have that Oh, Oh moment" "i wish there weren't so many jokes alluding to canon"
in fact, i want more. make more silly little jokes about reg drowning. give me the oh moment again.
i will read the same trope over and over again, that's what fanfiction is for

dorian gray wasn’t even that vain, he was just 20. everyone has a moment in their 20s when they realise they’re actually kinda hot, that’s a part of life and it’s totally Normal. it’s not dorian’s fault that all these sexually repressed men are obsessed with him, nor is it his fault that he’s exclusively attracted to red flags. this is just what happens when you’re in your 20s </3
But seriously primadonna by marina and the diamonds is one of the best pop songs ever fathomed and constructed and birthed into this world… hearing it for the first time at like age 14 changed me forever. All I ever wanted was the world.
