This poll is a celebration of fandom history; we're aware that there are certain issues with many of the listed pairings and sources, but they are a part of that history. Please do not take this as an endorsement, and refrain from harassment.

how to use tumblr:

- follow the gimmick blogs. thats literally it they reblog good shit

- I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, reblog posts (dont just like them thats lame.)

- there is no algorithm.

- interact with people!!! SEND ASKS (SEND ME ASKS SEND ME ASKS)

- when blocking porn bots, mark them as spam instead of sexual content. i read somewhere on here that gets rid of them faster

- check trending every now and then to see whats going on. bonus points if spn is trending (its the only way i get news)

- get involved in fandom! thats the whole site

- make sure you are having fun :)

- hydrate

- who cares if you have followers? nobody. this is no mans land baby! live like its 2010 but 10 years later!

- if you’re really new, customise your profile. people might think ur a bot if u dont. u will get blocked

- nobody cares what you reblog. if you want to reblog 20 billion posts about loki then do it! its your blog!!!

- spread positive vibes. be nice. its not that hard.

- no ai.

- go read some yaoi nerd

- use tags, at least on original posts

- use gifs

- if you make a post and somebody reblogs your post and you like their reblog? you just liked your own post lol

- don’t like, don’t read/interact. same goes for ao3 and literally anything else. its not worth your time babe move on.

Why Temporary Amnesia With Established Relationship Is The Best Fanfic Trope

It's a spectacularly underrated perfect mix of all best tropes. And yet it never seems to make the cut whenever big tropes are being discussed!

While some tropes are just niche and that's part of thier charm, this one has potential to take over one of the top 5 trope spot if given a chance. And I will tell you 10 reasons why:

1. We get angst obviously. Because hello, the love of my life forgot me? (After almost dying in an accident, presumably. a n g s t)

2. We get both established and developing relationship at once!! What other trope allows that? Huh??

3. We might also get enemies to lovers because the one who forgot might not appreciate being forced to live with a stranger to "remember by exposure". Also they might only remember the rocky start. So many possibilities.

4. We also get Hurt/Comfort for the one who remembers. Like what do you mean that you don't remember my favourite food? What do you mean you don't knOW IF YOU WANNA REMEMBER!?!

5. We get a perfect setup for SO MANY tropes without sacrificing logic and reason to the fanfic gods.

Like the one bed trope. Ofc they have one bed, they were married/engaged/together.

6. Fake/pretend relationship? Oh no! We have to attend this family wedding and everyone and thier pet duck knows we love each other! Hurry up and suck my face off!

7. Fluff? Hey babe? See our photos on which you look at me like I hung the stars in the sky? Isn't that amazing? Leave the dishes for later, let's cuddle on the couch and fall asleep so our friends can tease us later.

8. Denial. Do you want to cook now or should we order takeout pretend that you haven't fallen in love with me all over again? Ok, takeout it is then.

9. We get an almost guaranteed angst with a happy ending bc they're already in love, one just forgot temporarily! (bc some authors are just sadistic.)

10. Smut? Add as much or as less as you want. None? A pinch? Vanilla extract? Choose your amount. It makes sense literally all the ways. They're not? Ofc it would be too heartbreaking and weird. They are? Ofc it might help with the memories! (And besides they got together for a reason)

...and much much more!

With this, I conclude my thesis. I hope I have convinced you. And if not, stop lying. The conclusion of this conclusion is that I conclude that Temporary Amnesia with Established Relationship is the best trope. Thus, this conclusion is now fully concluded.

Thankyou for concludin- um reading.
