Favorite Tropes?

[abigaillmartin]

I couldn’t agree more! My villain in Cracking Eggs is a bit of a unique case. They delight in watching other’s pain but has a tone that gives off goofy villain vibes. He has a twisted sense of humor but he’s just so friendly about it.

My favorite villains are the ones that entertain me the most such as Hades from Disney’s Hercules. Just one example.

Hey I get it. I literally wrote characters who were friends to lovers! I do it all the time! I LOVE ROMANCE!!

Personally I don’t really see enemies to lovers as my thing, but everyone has their cup of tea.

Drakken from Kim Possible comes to mind. I love him and Shego's dynamic lolol.

I'm currently writing a webcomic where the Villain and the Hero become lovers
There's just a lot of funny, cute, romantic moments, but also drama because I looooove drama lmaooo

[abigaillmartin]

I love that! I love know it all characters. It’s so fun to see them sound smart and laugh at them for saying the stupidest things. I tried writing an arrogant character but I never was invested into them enough. I may give them another shot another day though.

[abigaillmartin]

Drakken is the king of goofy villains!! I also love Shego! Now I want to rewatch Kim Possible.

Also what’s your comic called? May I have a look?

[daeygur]

Yes! DO IT!!! I love Kim Possible! If I had Disney Plus I would be watching it right now lmaooo

I don't have it drawn, yet as I'm still trying to understand the comic writing format (I'm a novelist so this is new territory), but I'm planning on uploading it either by the end of this month or next month.

If you want I could like message you it or something similar when I do publish it.
It'll be on Tapas, but may also be on Comic Fury or Webtoons

I don't know what the "official" trope is called but I love stories where the entire cast of characters operates as a "hive mind"/"brain trust". Best examples: New Girl, Bones, Brooklyn 99, Parks and Recreation, Warehouse 13. Basically, any group of characters that has passed "normal" social conventions and become the endearingly awkward "found family". I love it. I can't get enough.

This also extends to the "friends to lovers" pairing that usually pops up in this dynamic. I love it when FMC is talking about being a mother or some other life dream and the MMC is like "yeah, I will obviously be there to love and embarass your child".

*My preference does NOT, I repeat NOT include problematic shows like: Friends, HIMYM/HIMYF

Okay! I'll follow you on Instagram! That way when I do upload it I can easily message you (if you want me to), or post it an update thingy lmaooo

[abigaillmartin]

I followed you! And thanks! Feel free to DM me anytime!

[daeygur]

Same! I'm always open for a chat!

You must be loving Twitter right now

[Spectorium_1]

never really got into social media LOL. Don't see how someone could enjoy that dumpster fire though. (from what I'm hearing)

I do have an insta for our project, but that's mostly post and dash. Idk half of what I'm doing there.

[thepenmonster1]

Don't see how someone could enjoy that dumpster fire though.

I'm happily eating handfuls of delicious schadenfreude cake right now.

[abigaillmartin]

I have Instagram too! And yes it seems this is probably the best place for to put my comics on the internet. I find like minded people and it’s not drowned out by trends and reels and stuff. I like that there’s something for everyone on here and so much diversity and genres. I’m also on Webtoon but I was hesitant about it. I did it anyway. I have no way to build an audience whereas here, I can actually talk to other creators.

[Spectorium_1]

yeah, its always nice to talk to other creators.

Not sure if this is a trope, but I notice a recurring theme where all the villains in my comics are basically sirens of some kind.

I like the trope where a character acts like an idiot but is really a bada-.

I'm not sure I'm allowed to say it, but you know what I mean

[TheLemmaLlama]

I like the trope where a character acts like an idiot but is really a bada-.

I'm not sure I'm allowed to say it, but you know what I mean

I read that as 'where a character acts like an idiot but is really a baka' ... so no, I get the feeling I don't know what you mean :'D (Unless you just really like the dummies? XD)

[C.L.G]

Well, I like you, so that's something, lol. Joking aside.

Think of a character who acts like an idiot but can beat you in a fight with wit and/or strength. The example I can think of is The Flash from DC.
