I personally have a fondness for slow romances that aren't great triumphs of love against the odds. I'd like some, "Dang I've liked you for a bit and we seem pretty compatible" and then they walk to the sunset working through minor issues they find along the way.
Things You Want MORE Of In Books
Instead of true love's kiss always being romantic, I want true love's kiss where it's just someone who truly loves the person. Whether that's a parent, or a friend, or whatever. I'm just tired of it always being this mega hot guy lmao

oof that sucks
I know this has been mentioned before but flamboyant straight guys
I know three of them now and I don’t understand why they aren’t more common, like they’re hilarious, there’s so much potential
Ah, thank you, Nut. I quite agree.

I know two. Dom is one of them.
And the other's name I've forgotten but I'm pretty sure you've mentioned to me multiple times.

I need more scholarly boys in books. And characters who had a religious upbringing but it doesn't define them as adults. These are all random but I feel like I don't see them enough.
So Nathaniel Lol. His grandmother tried to convert him to be an Anglican but it didn't work. (His parents were a mix of Protestant and vaguely agnostic.) But now he quotes the Bible all the time.
I feel like books skip over all the references high school kids make to the stuff they're reading in class? Watching a group of boys learning about Shakespeare for the first time call each other Shakespearean insults and bite their thumb at each other or dramatically reenact scenes from Frankenstein or spoil Of Mice and Men and then cackle at the ensuing rage and angrily talking about the shit you learned about in history at lunch with your friends has honestly been the highlight of my highschool career. It's peak comedy and just. I want it in books
also it's really good for actually learning the stuff, just enthusiastically making lit references and telling your younger friends about history stuff so like if you're not doing that, you should
Yeah.

Awesome.
I know it’s kind of a trope, but straight relationships with reversed roles are some of the cutest things sometimes and I don’t see why some people view it as a problem?
let the overly goth loner girl carry her bubbly soft bean boyfriend on her back so he can look at the butterflies, and let him bake cookies to surprise her when she’s dealing with work stress. It’s not weird, please don’t make it weird, I know some people always interpret it as yiffual, it doesn’t have to be that way, fluff is way better
And they don’t have to both look like crossdressers either (although tbh I will never complain about girls in suits, or guys with eyeliner and oversized pastel cat hoodies for that matter-), just let them be people, people don’t always fit the exact stereotypical cookie cutter relationship even if they’re straight.

I know this is probably not what you wanted as the takeaway from your post but mmmm yes girls in suits-
I want more of that
Big agree! Give me the Soft boys and Stronk girls
it’s not what I intended, but I will not disagree-
So imagine the regular girl meets bad bot with Issues.
Now make the girl a character that stands on her own, make the bad boy a legitimately nice guy that’s been sort of friends with her for a few years.
Now make the dude have issues from past abuse, but it’s emotional not physical and maybe omit the love story and it’s just sort of friends becoming good friends and she helps him work through his issues.

Ok, one thing I want more of is more awkward characters who are like actually awkward. I feel like with a lot of "awkward" characters their awkwardness is played off as a cute character quirk even though in real life, generally speaking, awkwardness is really not that cute. Like show me a more characters who do something really cringey and embarrassing and the response of the other characters is like "wtf is wrong with you?" instead of "haha I love how you're so awkward like that <3" Y'know?
Yes.
