same! i love two dominant asserting dominance towards each other like checkmate and payback.
i also love friends to lovers (friends as in you're comfortable w each other's vulnerability & respects each other's boundaries) the angst on this is super greattt like you can tell how genuine their love is & is contented & would accept all your flaws & be grateful for what they have even if they know it wouldn't be reciprocated.. like living with him.
i also like seme acting like babies & cutie pies like i ship my rival x me, and ao to midori.
or uke who's unbelievably dense like wei wuxian from mdzs
I love No Moral , and. My High School Romance. for the same reason!!
angst is always great!! especially if its friends to lovers >:3
I just love characters going over their differences and then making up with an even stronger relationship,, can't help but giggle and kick my feet when they look at their partner and have a soft smile on their face.... *chefs kiss*
I've been thinking about my past (and current) ships in multiple different fandoms and in the manga/wha I really enjoy and I have come to realise that there are a few similar factors in all of them.
I absolutely love characters with strong personality like arrogant, cocky, confident, which lead to the couple bickering and bantering before they get together and even more so when they get together... makes me just wanna ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
That's also why enemies to lovers tropes is top tier for me because most of the time the main couple has those personality traits. A bonus is when they are having sex and they keep trying to assert dominance over eachother while being snarky and insulting the other and then in the end one of them caves and gives up power... might be the reason why power play is very high up on my tropes as well.
