We like to discuss tropes or other commonly-seen scenarios in media on these days. We understand not everyone likes tropes or thinks about their stories in those terms. We are not here to dictate what is or not a trope, and we never say writers MUST use tropes. We're just here to talk about stories.

Happy Trope Tuesday! Today's topic:

The Hero Who Peaks Emotionally Before Ch 1

They already had their big trauma, glow-up, & breakdown. Now they’re just… trying to live. While destiny keeps knocking.

Is this a trope you like? Where have you seen it done well?

We love you, King and Queen 🖤
