Sorry it’s early but you really can’t use fanfiction terms in a non fanfiction context like if someone is trying to sell me a book to read and they tell me there’s an enemy to lovers I would be annoyed because why are you spoiling the story lol
sorry op this is kind of a tangent but this is why i hate how booktok has not only affected how ppl talk about their fave stories, but how it's basically gnawed its way into how publishing companies promote books. it basically encourages authors to build their entire story entirely around marketable tropes so that they turn more of a profit
"it has enemies to lovers!" "it has friends to lovers!" "this is a slow burn!" WHAT IS THE PLOT??? what makes your story unique?? why should i read it??? describing your story entirely in tropes and fanfiction terms makes your story sound extremely uninteresting lmfao.
Fanfiction is for when you want to read familiar characters in a setting where you already know what's going to happen. I care about this coffee shop au because I already love these characters and just want to see them in fun familiar situations
Books are original content for new stories new characters in new situations. Why should I care if it takes place in a coffee shop? Give me a reason to love these characters!
current fav genre: dan reaching for phil during jumpscares

what was so interesting about the episode where annie & abed are fighting over who would move into the flat with them is that anthony (annie’s brother) said there’s unresolved issues involving troy, and that he created a vacuum they were both trying to fill w a new roommate. annie tried getting her actual brother to move in because she viewed troy as a brother, while abed tried getting his girlfriend to move in because he viewed troy as….. well.
thinking about how often troy smiles at the camera in any of the documentary episodes (but especially advanced documentary filmmaking) (because abed’s filming)
The instant a cop turns off their body cam it should emit a loud siren noise
