dont have opinions on most of these so im just reading and nodding but friends to loversActually so true......its about knowing people so well in a very specific light and then facing that in a larger context where who they are with you isnt who they are with other people, other people being relevant, closeness in different ways, etc etc....
also its so true that office/coworkers is the greatest most pure fun trope i loveeeee workplace stories EVEN IF i hate it when we actually go to work! thats the fun fantasy of it...especially if its like a weird niche workplace
also so true re:high school/college aus i do think they can be really good actually but only if its like setting maxed out and utilized the atmosphere really makes or breaks....i too love mundane activities.....probably also why i like the workplace stuff lol
i think soulmates are fine and fun if the story is not actually about being soulmates but thats part of the setup. like i rmb really liking this bl where it was basically soulmates but the universe was trying to kill them so it was more like soulmates as vehicle for being a randomized mission team and then you learn stuff about the soulmateism as u try beating the magic system....guy who likes being drip fed magics....and then the the threat is less ending up w someone wrong but one of or both of u dying if u fail to work together in the correct way....actually i guess arranged marriage and soulmates are like the same thing to me bc im assuming the soulmates are usually strangers and i like both
