inej ghafa:

- Platonic bonds!! Familial bonds and friend bonds!!

Platonic bonds are the best. Especially when you can see the love without the characters not having to necessarily express it directly, y'know?

Stories where there's dogs. Dogs make the world go around.

consistent structure
interactive setting
diversity
cheesy romance

This is a thing I love to read and write, but when characters care really deeply for each other and would do anything for each other and it shows in their actions. Also, on a related note, when they are really (over)protective of one another. Whether it is platonic or romantic, I freakin love it when a character is hurt or threatened in some way and their partner/friend/SO goes nuts on whoever endangered them and does whatever they have to to save them, just...

• Stories about friendship. Especially between guys.
• Villains/antagonists you can't help but love.
• Quirky characters.
• Dialogue
