December Talking Meme Master List

(There are still some days left open in the meme, if you want to suggest a(nother) topic.)

Day 10 was suggested by frayadjacent: Talk about some character types and/or story tropes that you love.

For characters, I tend to like characters who measure their words, but when they do speak, have smart things to say; feisty, snarky characters that use their words to keep most people at a distance but let their chosen few in; characters, particularly girls and women, who have to rise above what people think they see in them in order to do great things (like save the world); and characters who love their family (and family is both birth and chosen) and are willing to do anything to protect them.

For stories, I love adventure stories, especially those with monsters and magic; mysteries and case fic; individual people coming together as a family, no matter how different they are; best friends to lovers; werewolves in everything; and, most important, stories that, no matter what's happening in them, allow girls and women to be awesome, nuanced, amazing characters.
