What are your most hated fanfic tropes

I had to look this up today, thanks to being called out on my science ignorance.

The way I interpret superposition is that if you had two chambers and two cats and two geiger counters, both cats would be dead long before you open either chamber up. That is to say, the particle is alternating rapidly between locations, teleporting back and forth (that's what quantum tunneling seems to mean: the particle can get past a barrier that would have prevented movement, because the particle doesn't move, it teleports). So it would trip both geiger counters and kill both cats, but when you make an observation (as in you collide another particle against it) it stops teleporting and stays in one spot after that.

And that's kind of creepy that Einstein was into Cthulhu mythos.
 
When you base your fanfic on something that has yet to be finished, and design a character there that you think won't be implemented in said unfinished something...

...then the character DOES get implemented in the unfinished something, and you go ACHKCHUALLY MY VERSION OF THE CHARACTER IS BETTER BECAUSE IT'S NOT TAKEUCHI FACE, IT'S NOT A GENDERBEND AND IT DOESN'T DRESS LIKE A MAID

like, for fuck's sake, eat some humble fucking pie and sit your ass down, that ain't your fucking IP for either of the works you're basing your fanfic on

edit: you should probably get what fic I'm referring to, I've put in more clues than hansel and gretel dump crumbs

I don't know what this fic is, but you've got me curious. I'm like 90% sure it's a fate fic after looking up Takeuchi Face. Is it on QQ?

It's more like selling someone a burger that was made from stray cats and dogs snatched off the street. Much cheaper than raising cows, if you think the end consumer can't tell the difference.

More like saying "I baked cookies, want some?" and then offering the extra-cheap stale cookies they'd picked up on sale at the supermarket. Yes, they're cookies, and they're probably better than what someone who can't bake and doesn't have any recipes would be able to make. But the deception is insulting, and the quality is bad enough that you'd be happier if you didn't consume it.
 
This is a niche hate but as I dive back into BSG 2003 FICs and the ones that portrayed the colonies and the rtf as either straight up bad guys or such religious zealots that they seem to act more like the imperium of man annoy me

Yeah that was pretty stupid from just a casual watch you'd be able to tell they were pro democracy and freedom to a stupid suicidal extent.
 
Bashing. I just dont like bashing of characters. 2014 I think was the year when naruto/hp bashing fics were hot stuff (or maybe some other year, idk). And they were, and I liked them. But now if i see a "bashing" tag, I just cringe lol

Ugh. Tell me about it. I have no idea why shit like that still is read like hotcakes in so many fandoms.

A fic's bashing of Sasuke made me revisit the character and make me LIKE HIM.

That's what happened with me and Ron Weasley. Never really cared about him one way or another, but revisited the books with an open mind and was struck by how he's actually a pretty absurdly good friend. Also quite perceptive at times. Also pretty much guaranteed to have been the best looking of the main trio.

That all came as quite the shock.

The producer of the original movies gave all his best scenes to Hermione because she was his favorite character, he says so in an interview.

Really makes you wonder why she was his favorite if she wasn't good enough for him without him turning her into a black hole sue.

I came to notice, thanks to the fic, that Sasuke ALWAYS did his best to ensure that his issues were never others.

Said fic had OP!Naruto with Harem emasculate him (although Sasuke in Canon DIDN'T care about who gets more girls shit), stop him from leaving Konoha for revenge...for whatever reason (because we assume this Naruto doesn't care because dark!Naruto) and keep dabbing on him for zero reasons.

Eventually I just wanted to send Kid Buu there to brutalize that abomination.

That does indeed sound quite horrible.

It's a real shame that canon Sasuke went and did decide to make his problems everyone else's problems in the series finale. He only didn't follow through because Naruto beat him (finally, I'll pretend it happened in a believable manner and leave it at that).

What do you mean?

Madara was sealed and Sasuke died peacefully because the ones who were the main cause of his family's death were gone.
 
I hate the concept of "multiverse" mentioned or explained by the MC as "There are infinite permutations of this world"
It's even worse when this causes some kind of shock in another character. It's always* embarrassing.

*There could be some exceptions
 
I've only seen it in one (rather old) fic (and it wasn't common in there, luckily) but when song lyrics are interspersed between lines of the actual story. It's insufferable to read to me - if you want a song in your chapter then just use it as the chapter name/summary? Just makes it harder to parse for no good reason

What if the song is being literally played in the story? As in, the characters are listening to it?
 
MHA fics where the they make is so that attacking the zero pointer makes it so that you lose all your point for some bullshit reason because the author needs to find ways to introduce stakes because Izuku is actually competent in their fic. It just feels like such lazy writing.
