Your favourite genre is...
ALL ABOARD THE H.M.S. FRIENDSHIP
ALL ABOARD THE H.M.S. FRIENDSHIP
Toot, toot, you are so aboard this friendSHIP. You love that moment when two characters realise broship isn't enough and they must have mooooore. This kind of romance usually involves a) much angst and self-doubting shrieks of "WHAT IF THEY ONLY LIKE ME AS A FRIEND?!?!" and b) much existential complications because of changing dynamics. But because they started off as friends, you totally know this ship will float. IT IS DESTINED FOR HAPPY.
THE LOVE TRIANGLE (OR SQUARE OR DODECAHEDRON EVEN)
THE LOVE TRIANGLE (OR SQUARE OR DODECAHEDRON EVEN)
Love triangles are rather notoriously famous (and often hated) buuuut they can be SERIOUSLY AWESOME. And you know this. Oh you totally do. You love picking a #Team and rooting for the protagonist to get with the "right" love interest. You love the chase and the angst and the decisions. OMG WHY ARE DECISIONS SO HARD???
THE VOYAGE OF LOVE AND HATE
THE VOYAGE OF LOVE AND HATE
You are basically CAPTAIN of the ship when two characters are loving to hate each other. There's so much friction and plenty of potential of someone getting their eye stabbed with a spork. BUT THEY DO SECRETLY THEY LIKE EACH OTHER. If there snark and sarcasm and sparks flying, it is TOTALLY your kind of romance.
THE FORBIDDEN LOVE BIRDS
THE FORBIDDEN LOVE BIRDS
If someone says "no" when it comes to a romance....you are saying "HECK YES." Usually "forbidden" conjures a Romeo-Juliet style romance (where your family is threatening to lovingly gut you if you fall for the enemy) but "forbidden" can also be something standing in the way. When something STOPS your OTP from getting together, ohhh you are so there to see this through to the end.
THE INSTANT ROMANTIC SOUP
THE INSTANT ROMANTIC SOUP
Instalove tends to get a bad rap, but it's not ALL sappy puppy love, and you know it. Instalove doesn't have to be cliche! It's fantastic when two characters see each other and THEY JUST KNOW...fate whispers. And then they have to become friends and get to know each other and ahhhhh it's perfect and SHIPPABLE. You are so onboard with this. Oh sweet darlings. <33
THE OBSESSIVE SUBMARINE PURSUIT
THE OBSESSIVE SUBMARINE PURSUIT
You are so down for the romances where one side will NEVER GIVE UP on their one-true-love. Come storms! Come seas! Come intergalatic space aliens.! WHATEVER. This romance is about pursing and persuasion. (It can also lead to overprotective partners who'll sacrifice themselves for their loved ones, but, whatever. Can't have everything.) Plus once they get together -- they are like GLUE. *shippy shippy*
THE UNREQUITED ROW BOAT OF LOVE
THE UNREQUITED ROW BOAT OF LOVE
It can be woefully dejecting to see your darling looooving and pining after someone who doesn't appreciate them. But it can also be insufferably CUTE as they chase their One True Love, no matter what. (It's also very easy to fall in love with this kind of person?? Because they are dejected and need love and YOU VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE. <333)
THE SHIP OF DENIAL
THE SHIP OF DENIAL
That moment when two characters adamantly REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY LIKE EACH OTHER? And you as the reader can do is go, "Haha, you shrimps, you're gonna fall in love." Then you know it. You can see through this denial. THEY ARE SO INTO EACH OTHER. You will ship this one, ohhhhh, yes you will.
