Happy late Valentine’s day, bloggers! *throws conversation hearts and roses into the air* I hope you got a valentine from someone special. 🙂
I think it’s quite fitting that this week’s prompts are centered around romance in fantasy! Almost like it was done on purpose… XD
On to week two’s questions!
• Favorite fairy tale ending
Hmm…That’s a tough one! I really love all of them! (Well, the Disney endings, anyway…) If I had to choose one, it would probably be either Beauty and the Beast’s or Aladdin’s ending. Beauty and the Beast’s was so romantic, and Aladdin’s just made me happy. It’s a tie!
• Romantic tropes you dislike in fantasy
Well, I really hate insta-love. Like, HATE IT. 😛 That hardly ever happens in real life, and it tends to feel like it was added in as an after thought. Blegh.
• Romantic tropes you like in fantasy
I LOVE the forbidden love trope. And the opposites attract trope. Basically, all of these couples that Christine said I ship pretty hard.
• Love at first sight?
Hmm…Maybe if they don’t realize it’s love at first?
• Friendship that turns into romance?
YES. I LOVE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS. But, it has to be the right type of characters. Otherwise it can feel a bit stilted and awkward.
• Best/Worst Fantasy Love Triangles
I actually haven’t read a whole lot of books with love triangles in them…Am I lucky? XD
• Favorite Fantasy Couple
AGH THAT’S SO HARD ASDLKFJ. Can I list my top three?
- Cress + Thorne
- Imraldera + Eanrin
- Winter + Jacin*
*Yes, there are two couples from the Lunar Chronicles.
I love hearing from you! ^_^
