"Oh this top is such a crybaby and is so submissive he should've been bottom." "Oh this bottom is so badass and cool and always controls the top, he should've been top." "Oh this bottom IS TALLER than the top, he should've been top." ???? You are tasteless. There's this thing called sub and dom. Topping and bottoming isn't a personality trait. Not very woke of you guys?
On a side note, why are people so obsessed with characters switching too? "It's so unrealistic that they don't." not every gay couple in real life switches too?? What happened to preferences and dynamics? Fictional characters can be written with their own preferences too? Oh, buff guy x buff guy = switches? Really feeding into the stereotypes there eh?

YESS youre right Its a pretty stereotypical and heteronormative way of writing automatically making the more feminine character the bottom and the more masculine one the top. It reduces characters to a formula instead of letting their personalities actually matter.
Sorry I've been so used to seeing the term "switches" that I forgot that isn't even the correct term. It's "VERSE" that's for top and bottom, "Switch" is for sub and dom.
Ppl who "don't like miscommunication, angst, drama" in their stories are so boring lol you don't want any rising action or climax to the plot? Just begin the story with the side stories then, god.
"Oh they should've just communicated" that's the drama and plot. To flesh out the character, just put them in situations to see how they act. Taking too long? Click off.
miscommunication can be well written and also very poorly written. some miscommunication tropes are horrible to read. you can tell when it’s just the author wanting to drag their story and who doesn’t really know what to do with their own story.
i feel like miscommunication is well written when it doesn’t need 30 chapters of them acting extremely dumb and stupid. it’s like in horror movies when the protagonist makes the most STUPIDEST choices ever. you just wanna shake them off and slap their face. well it’s the same in books. it’s very frustrating when the plot isn’t going anywhere and that the author is writing bullshit.
i personally hate when a character keeps overthinking and not communicating when a normal sane person woudlve communicated since the start. like omg please for the love of god communicate….
I used to be this person but then I realised that angst makes the story SM better
Those readers are asking for a delish burger but only buns and patty and no sauce
BL cliche where person A removes their *thing that obstructs their beauty* and they're actually hot underneath. Does anyone have recs? Bonus points if people thought they were ugly but the glow up made them in love lol
I saved some on bato before but it died so I forgot a lot of them TT
