Hi guys I’m not feeling well; it would totally make me feel better if you, like, explained the tropes in your favourite media or ships…. or something……

I am extremely normal。 (Lie)⠀ This has been in my inbox for a while、 my apologies。

Huari:⠀ Friends to Lovers。⠀ Arion、 Huang’s partner (in crime) & best friend。⠀ Arion is an overthinker、 which can make their relationship confusing for him。⠀ Is Hua just being nice because they’re friends or is there more to zer actions?⠀ Maybe he wants there to be。

Blasu:⠀ Rivals(?) to Lovers。⠀ It is more one sided rivals than anything、 with Su refusing to appease Blane; which has helped their relationship、 if only a little。⠀ It took a while for Su to be tolerable for Blane、 but they got there。⠀ Blane is not the type to be open about his feelings、 but he does care for Su—much to his chagrin。⠀ As the story progresses、 one can see Blane’s walls slowly but surely go down、 with him openly showing concern for Su。

Amian:⠀ Mortal x Immortal。⠀ More melancholic than the others。⠀ With Kian being immortal and Amaury being、 well、 mortal、 of course Kian will be reticent with his emotions。⠀ As the story progresses、 Kian acknowledges Mau’s presence instead of ignoring him、 which is the best Mau could ask for。⠀ At least Kian doesn’t feel dread when having to be together with him。

Jaelas:⠀ Strangers to Lovers。⠀ Nikolas、 my darling boy。⠀ Just sweet。⠀ All the thoughts I have about them are incoherent、 but they are adorable。

Luceryl:⠀ Enemies(?) to Lovers。⠀ Hunter x Bounty。⠀ Their relationship is intricate、 with the pair on different sides before the story begins。⠀ The trust can be there、 but who is willing to risk it?⠀ Why risk it、 if when after all is said and done、 they can never see each other again?⠀ Is that not what they want?⠀ (It isn’t。)
