#11 Talk about your favorite trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme

I have a few favourite tropes, actually.

'Rag tag bag of misfits save the world' - A world is in danger, but there's only a group of misfits who can actually do something about it. But none of them are actual heroes. Never mind, they'll come up with unorthodox ways to save the day that a hero might have overlooked.

'Middle Aged Chosen One' - You're treated as a Chosen One, but surely you're the wrong age? Maybe you're dealing with trauma too, if you have day to day struggles, how can you save the world?

'Enemies to Lovers' - If only they can save the world, but they barely trust each other. What do they have to go through to get to that point

Rag tag bag of misfits is one of my favorites.

[imhilien]

Thanks for that. :) It means anything can happen.

[cornerofmadness]

It certainly does

[corvidology]

Some lovely choices here. :D

I particularly love the misfits one. I've always been more impressed by people stepping up rather than 'professional' or 'superhuman' heroes.

[imhilien]

Thanks for that. :) With misfits, they can defeat the villain in unconventional ways too.

I was amused by this description:
If they save the world, then get together, it's romance.
If they get together, then save the world, it's science fiction.

That seems true. :D
