    This was such a fun video! For some reason I'm obsessed with the combination of the enemies-to-lovers AND faking dating trope. So they hate each other and they have to fake date for some reason, haha. I can't explain it, it's a good combo!

    I totally agree that Violet and Xaden’s romance in Iron Flame fizzled out quite a bit compared to Fourth Wing. I really want to see what happens with them in the next book after the ending of Iron Flame.

    Hurt/comfort eats EVERY time. The hurt/comfort trope is generally a larger theme of somebody who is deeply emotionally hurt by trauma/a dark past and the character who comforts helps them heal from it or come to terms with it. Or it could be a serious injury that somebody has to help them cope with. I eat it up every time, I can't help it.

    Ohhh, this was a fun video! Personally, I would put ‘not like other girls’ in the ‘absolutely not’ category. The internalized misogyny that tends to be linked to that trope is a nope for me. I would also put Mary Sue/Gary Stu in ‘absolutely not’. We stan a flawed protagonist in this house. Otherwise, I agree with most of your rankings. Found family and slow burn are some of my absolute favorites!

    So many tropes 😅 There are so many I love when they are done right But also get so overdone so quickly that I end up taking a long break from them for a while Or are done so blatantly obvious that it’s not a surprise when it gets there. I know my least favorite is a love triangle. Especially when the middle person has made it clear who they are choosing and the other decides they need to keep trying. 🙄

    Tbf Aelin is a bit of a self-loathing protagonist. She shallowly and outwardly loves herself but in reality she’s self-loathing.
