All that fun stuff that's too cool for Facebook but not quite artsy enough to put on deviantArt. Elliot Morgan put it best when he said, "Facebook has just become a big family reunion, except without all the good food." I ran away from MySpace because people I knew IRL were there. And now I've run away from FB for the same reason - mostly bc I'm tired of listening to my dumbass redneck relatives talk about shit they have no knowledge of. Also, INFJ. Writing it here bc I can never effing remember. New to my blog? Then you probably need to check out this post: http://too-cool-for-facebook.tumblr.com/post/109313455847/i-have-gotten-like-a-shit-ton-of-followers-over

Tropes I’m Tired of

  • The Chosen One
  • The main character turns out to be related to a legendary hero / is actually royalty
  • Royalty in general
  • MC descends from some special bloodline
  • MC has a special power
  • MC catches on quickly to techniques that should take years to master
  • Worlds where nearly EVERYONE has magic. It’s not magical anymore
  • Taking cool or magical things and turning them mundane. Bor-fucking-ring
  • Fish Out of Water stories
  • Angels, demons, gods
  • The MC being a “half-breed”: half-angel, half-demon, demigod, etc
  • Secret societies / organizations working in the shadows to protect/destroy humanity
  • The Search for the MacGuffin
  • Prophecies
  • Monsters and other non-human entities wanting to become human. Bitch, you ain’t missing nothing
  • Medieval European-like settings

I’m sure there’s more
