Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
i LOVE a last chance moment honestly. The hero being done with trying to see the goodness in the villian, but not quite. Just stand up to them almost overwhelmed with emotion but holding strong and go " I am done with you, trying to understand you, trying to sway you, all of it, it's your choice now. You can recognise you've done terrible things and decide to do better, you can shake my hand and fight beside me or you can go on with whatever delusions you use to cope, we can keep fighting and this time I swear, " look up at villian defiantly and say " I'll fight to fuking obliterate you. I won't let you hurt any more people either way. "
Both options are peak good content. If they accept it great! But, hear me out, refusing it. The HuRT. next time they fight the villian only then realises how serious Hero was. Everytime they see hero again they can feel hero hardening. Going 'home' every time and they think back to it and imagine every thing that could've happened.
They Regret it but refuse to recognise it for fear of having to face how hard they messed up. and. AND, One day they chin up and face that That. That was exactly what they did when they were given the choice, refuse to face the problem. They aren't going to do that anymore. They are taking that chance now. They are fighting for that chance now.
(should I start writing my posts in a mini story way? This kinda became one halfway and I think it turned out pretty neat. What do you think and pls follow to support)
God tier trope is when the villian is being all flirty with the Hero and they “oh sorry you're not my type,,
And the villian is all gruff like pfft not like I care!!! I totally don't care ha! But, ah just for reference why? For research purposes only.
And the hero's like, I don't like blondes/their hair colour/other feature.
And the villian laughs it off like ha! U think I give fuk I don't! Haha, I really don't
But the next day their minion walks in on them reading a newspaper with dyed hair sending them a ‘question it. I dare you, look over their coffee. Sensing danger minion slowly walks back out.
A concerning amount are just the reverse of other popular tropes but-
Grumpy x sunshine but the grumpy's smol and sunshine tol. It's just gold
Grumpy's all pissed and got their hands crossed and sunshine just... Picks them up. And carries them on their side like a clutch. And their like 😡💢 put me down!! And they coo at them like awww! how adorable.
Their enemies and grumpy gets all in their face trying to threaten em a n d sunshine pets. their. head. I'm 😭
Huh, To be the hero with angsty sexual tension with the hot villian or to be my own hot villian.
The "Hero finds out they are working for the currupt/evil side and the villian is actually the good guy" literally never had a bad track.
Angsty "And who decided I'm the bad guy? My enemies." SLAPS, extended " I'm no expert but that might be a bit biased." ROCKS
The hero now having to work with the villian. YES. Getting a bastard-isation arc cause "they are my family." It got better. Long drawn story filled with side switching and double-crossing, TEN season/book material right there m'lord.
The AGGRESSIVELY UNDERLYING message of, overthrow your local currupt government today. Gets me every time!!!
Hero x villian promt
They laughed, taunting and bitter. “Do you know what it's like wanting something more than you can tell? Anything; freedom, love, safety.” They said, their face looked like something older than age. “ Wanting something so bad that that your whole body whole body is restless down to your fingers and toes. And do you know what it feels to have it be dangling in front of you? Feeling your fingers brush over it before it's pulled away. Everyone's born with something like stars in their chest cavity. I was too. But with enough pressure, all stars can explode, collapse in on itself. And we all know what is left after that.”
Warning- Angst ahead
when the villian and hero couple are in front of the bigger villian that villian worked under and in deep danger and have to pretend to fight to avoid said danger, clumsily throwing punches at each other with with stiff hands, holding a dagger to the throat but it's trembling badly, subconsciously getting close to each and trying to touch in any way for some sort of comfort, fervently glancing at the bigger villian to see how they're reacting, the villians crippling guilt in feeling responsible, trying to communicate with eyes and form a plan but their mind can't work over how scared they are, more for the other person than them
Yeah I want that

" I suppose I did love you once, too far back in time in to even matter now, if not for some deflected queens." She allowed at last, letting her shoulders drop in a shrugging motion as if was no more than mere weather talk.
"You-"
" Deflected?" Iris squinted her eyes behind the glasses.
"Queen! One Queen! The other is a queen consort! " the 'king' took no time to point out. "And how does this matter in searching for them anyway. He turned to the tracker observing them with her lips pursed.
"Seriously?! You? the ice queen? You loved me?!! Like Love love" The other girl got in before she was interrupted by,
"Are we quite sure deflected is the right word right now?"
"And why the fuck does their sappy saphic ballad matter here?"
The tracker, who had asked the question, was still watching with serious looking eyes, " Perhaps, it doesn't. But," Her face broke into a huge grin then, eyes bright now and put up her finger. "These two would be soo cute together, even their names go together, Elli and Aine, Elliaine. Ah, You can name your child that!" She was almost squealing in delight at the prospect when she finished.
"They can't have a child, they are both girls." The king—oh, my mistake forgive me, the 'king' being his usual infuriating self did not disappoint.
"oh, sod off. " This was the tracker, Lelia.
"Elliaine, is my name."
" Well, you should shouldn't be using Elli then, it literally means Old, I didn't say anything cause I thought it'd be rude. And work on your grammar, deflected does not fit—."
"Shut up, Iris, no one cares." The 'King', whose name I forgot because my constant need to mock his title, snapped, " And You!" He turned to Leila, " Do your fucking job and find the goddamn Queens, Queen! One Queen!."
" Oh, no no." She replied, making sure to dramatize her every movement, "I can't do that, because you see, I'm just here to stall you till they got far enough away."
A tence silence hung unbroken in the air. Well, unbroken until someone proclaimed, "Defected! The word is defected!" And the 'king' shouted for the guards.
"Throw her in the dungeons!" He roared to the bowing guards.
They stood there for a moment, unable to decide if he had the authority to imprison the queen's dear friend.
He fumed even redder {Purple more like if we being honest} a feat previously thought impossible, "By king Ophion's orders!" Ah, Ophion, that was his name.
He was far too busy angrily whispering with Elli, his least detested member of his and the queen's council, to see Leila smile as she was led down.
Two freed, one to go.
And she was already on the way to her.

This blog is now apparently dedicated to enemies to lovers connoisseur-ing. I mean I'm not complaining but still
Pls follow for dumb things
We all love our cocky suave flirty villians and our goofy rambly crack energy hero who basically runs on caffeine and sass, hasn't slept in 72hours because 'the latex clad chipmunk can't take a fucking break from trying to fucking take over the world'
But also consider— the opposite.
The hero who keeps flirting with the villian and teasing them and pushing their buttons and only realising after they go too far and the villians face darkens and they go oh shit
The villian tries to blow up a restaurant cause they said you too when the waitress there said enjoy your meal once and now it's the only way to escape the embarassment
— "How the fuck did you survive that!"
" Can't a guy destroy the city in peace around here!"
Enemies to lovers things that make me go ahHh— Angst edition promt
After being vulnerable with each other and revealing their deep secrets, something brings them back on opposite sides and they're fighting (combat optional but preferred) and the villian's so frustrated that they're fighting when they don't want to but because they have issues™ they react by trying to hurt hero more than them, pushing them farther and farther making them angrier, until they say that one thing and the hero stops and then their face visibly crumbles, looking shaken and hurt and betrayed, BETRAYED. And because the villian sucks they feel satisfied for a sec before it truly settles and they realise what they did and immediately start to regret it but it's too late the hero saw them be pleased. It's already over for the hero.
okay, Greek mytho or mytho/fairy tale retellings but with versions other than than the most popular one,
like hades and presophone but with the older version, where shes called kore meaning little girl because she's someone so sinister people are afraid to say her name, posiedon is the god of the underworld and hades some random guy who may and maynot be her love intrest in her quest to overthrowing posidon
aphrodite where shes a war goddess as she was in sparta
older versions of Cinderella and co. than grimms
You know the gruff cold grey character vigorously denying their feelings (for their nemesis) is funny but also consider them immediately accepting them a la " guess this is my life now" and doing a complete 180 followed by the immediate surprise of anyone who ever knew them
"Hey, you look lovely today, here I got you your favourite drink." *Wierd smile* *suspicious* "is there poison in it?"
*simping in the meeting* "That's a really good plan, you're so smart haha" everyone :0 " Do you have a fever?"
"why do you care so much anyway!" *nursing their wound* *intense* " love/petname, of course I care, I love you. Now tell me who did this to you. *shocked in 12 languages and 3 dimensioms*

The best smash up of friends to lover and enemies to lovers is 'met as enemies but were friends for years before finally becoming lovers' and no I don't except criticism. This is honestly criminally underused.
Imagine meeting at each other's worst and still finding goodness in each other, being with them through all their character growth, learning everything about them and falling more in love with them platonically everyday, before finally one day, it clicks and they find their best friend, supporter, the one who help grounds them and their partner, all in one person.
I hate archetypes but I simp so hard for characters who absolutely are archetypes but like multiple opposite ones stuffed together like my characters include-
A hopeless romantic princess with a minor addiction to pink that you would literally never see without multiple swords at her waist and no one bats an eye at it.
A gruff mean political/ war tactician princess who can absolutely sucks at swordplay (she says it's cause of her power, only partially true) literally feel everyone pain/sadness and a little obsessed with saving everyone (and totally oblivious that literally bring kind to them would do that)
An exiled princess who loves reading and traveling is literally one of the best people who also does dark magic and and casually tries to wake a literal wmd beast

'Friends to lovers' this 'enemies to loves' that where is my 'enemies to more aggressively enemies only kind of ironically'
One of my absolute favourite tropes is when the sarcastic character gives the villian nicknames calling them out on their bullcrap and the villian absolutely loosing his shit being flabbergasted.
The villian being all " I am the master of evil, the carrier of blah blah"
And then sunshine going, are you done emo man??
*the villian visibly loosing his shit*
I will flip the table
