hi fin! let me think. ummm. this could be super wide or super specific depending on how deep i dig in the little mnsvng box in my brain. ummmmmmm.

1. rough with everyone but careful with each other - this is mostly talked about on mnho's side but i lovee when we see it from both of them. how they're not afraid to get rough with anyone else (either by talking harshly, the way they touch or don't touch their other friends, etc) but with each other they're careful and always know how to stop. they get close enough to each other's boundaries that they can have fun without ever crossing it. they don't treat one another like they're fragile, it's more like... the way you'd treat something that is precious to you, something that's one of a kind. you still like it the most and want to have fun with it but always in such a way that you would never cause it any harm.

2. everyone knows they're dating except them - AAAAHHHHH. one of the mnsvng tropes i've read most and also. kind of. descriptive of how they are irl (in my humble opinion). being so comfortable with each other that the lines of how to define their relationship are blurry but they don't care, they don't even think about it. sure, they spend their every waking moment with each other in some way, either physically or through text, calls, little notes, acts of service. they think about each other whenever they're apart, include them in every thought and decision. so naturally, everyone thinks they're together - especially the people that met them after their relationship had evolved into this. friends and family and acquaintances at work assume that they're dating. people at bars and clubs don't even try to flirt with one of them because the other is always There, making it very clear that they belong to each other. add a little "but everyone does that, we're just best friends, sure i love him more than anyone in this world and would rather die than be apart from him but - ohhh" moment and you've got the perfect trope.

3. "i hate everyone in the world but you" - this is pretty personal as it's from a wip that never saw the light of day, but i particularly like it when one of them (in my head it's usually jsvng because of said wip, but it can be mnho, too!) has become cold and distant from people because of the experiences that they've had, they've spent years of their life trying very hard and very consciously to build a wall between themselves and the rest of the world, and yet here comes mnho (or jsvng!) to tear that all down without even trying. they don't make each other softer; they still hate the world, but they hate it together, hand in hand. the intimacy that comes with letting your walls down for just that one person, allowing yourself to trust, allowing yourself to be cared for, looked after, known. learning that there was nothing /wrong/ with them, that it was just a matter of the right person coming along to show them that they could and should be loved the right way, to show them that the world can be a beautiful place if they let it.

i'm so fucken wordy when it comes to them. like. you could ask me what i think their favorite color is and i would write a 10 page essay. Anyway. hope this answered your question :] would love to hear your favorite tropes as well!
