Tuesday: Tropes

[hobnailedboots.livejournal.com]

Good morning! I'm hobnailedboots and I'm hosting this week.

The theme for today is tropes (for which, see tvtropes.org): maybe someone's show is falling victim to Executive Meddling? Perhaps people need to be Undercover Lovers?

As always, remember the rules:

-No more than five prompts in a row. If someone fills one of your prompts, you are then free to prompt again!
-No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
-No spoilers in prompts!
-If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space.

Prompts should be formatted as follows:
-Fandom, Character+/Character, Prompt

Some examples:

-Merlin, Arthur/Merlin, Belligerent Sexual Tension
-Supernatural, Dean/Castiel, Green-Eyed Epiphany
-Harry Potter, Malfoys, Magical Nanny

You don't need to link to a specific trope; as long as it's a known archetype or convention then it's fine (e.g. shared body heat).

Have fun, everyone!

Tenzin's reactions to almost everything so far have indeed been funny- the guy has had some of the best EEEK faces of anyone so far IMO.

Any Korra recs? I'm fairly ship impartial if it's well written so far. :)

Okay so when I said "fandom crush", what I actually meant was "show-that-I-love crush" because the Avatar fandom kind of scared me off with the hardcore shipping wars,haha...

There's lots of really adorable fanart though!

OMG are you me? Because that is exactly my experience with this fandom. Seething hatred to the left, I'm just here for the squee and the WMG. ♥

Thanks for the pretties! I'd seen the Zhao one before- found that artist with the original series- but the rest are all new. The bad influence one is hilarious- poor Tenzin!

It's always nice to meet other Avatar/Korra fans who are not solely caught up in the belligerency of shipping o/

Although to be fair Nickelodeon is doing their best to fan the flames of that fire sob why.

Happy to share the awesome! Tenzin's life is pain; I'd love to see if his brother and sister only add to it, haha.

Shipping 'wars' make me sad. Hell, I have preferences but that doesn't mean I'm going to hate on people/demonize them for liking another pairing. We have this whole beautiful original universe these stories are set in, and the biggest issue is who is/should be/should die in a fire for kissing who? *sad panda*

Shame on Nick, but I swear to God most of the fandom totally deserves that. :P In the meantime, if Pabu shows up on my doorstep in a basket with a bow around his neck I'll be perfectly happy. ;)

Happy to share the awesome! Tenzin's life is pain; I'd love to see if his brother and sister only add to it, haha.

I'm totally hoping he has a relationship with his brother on par with Sokka poking Zuko with a stick just to make him angry in season three because I am a horrible person because Tenzin's reactions to that would be ***wonderful***. He’s kind of got that adorkably-failing-at-being-dignified trait Zuko had in spades, you know?

Answering with my personal journal because I'm too lazy to switch o/

Yeeees, I've never understood the need to prove to people that your ship is better and theirs is wrong and etc etc etc. But it really makes me sad when the characters that are "interfering" in a ship get vitriolic hate, come on now :(

asdglsal Pabu is the cutest! But I think I'd still take Naga in a heartbeat. Why do polar bear dogs not exist, I demand they exist!!!

Haha now that you mention it, I totally see that parallel! Oh Zuko. He was such a lovely ball of utter fail ♥
