Book Meme - Day 07
Day 07 – Least favorite plot device employed by way too many books you actually enjoyed otherwise
Uh. I think that's got to be when romance overshadows the actual plot, when everything has to include romance for be of any worth, even when it wasn't necessary at all. Sometimes, romance--and the human connection it entails--adds depth, but most of the time it's handled very badly and just included there for the sake of dramaor to prevent a reading of the character as non-heterosexual, which doesn't usually work, heh, ugh.
Also, the Everyone Must Hook Up With Everybody Else irritates me so, specially when it's a Last Minute Hook Up and there's no build up whatsoever to it.
That applies to all media, not just books, btw.

Películas... Um. Carl/Ellie de Up, Wall-E/Eva en Wall-E... Um. Se me dificulta más recordar parejas que me hayan impresionado/marcado. Será por lo corto del medio, idk, porque con anime me es más fácil (Tanda/Balsa de Seirei no Moribito, Blue/Physis de Terra E, Mei/Gabu de Arashi no Yoru ni [que sí, es una película pero es demasiado cute, shh], Fakir/Pato y Mytho/Rue de Princess Tutu, Kenshin/Kaoru en Ruroni Kenshin [aunque ahí soy más fan del manga]).
Series de televisión es mucho más difícil porque definitivamente no las veo por el romance. XD; Por ejemplo, no tengo problemas con cómo sacaron el Arthur/Gwen en la serie de la BBC porque yo la veo más que nada por los silly shenanigans del cast. :x
Los que sí me tienen toda idiota son Chuck y Ned de Pushing Daisies, más ahora que la estoy re-viendo en maratón. Son azucarados y rosas y mushy y todo lo que por lo general no soporto PERO LOS AMO TANTO DDD'X /rueda
La noti de esta respuesta me llegó a la carpeta de spam =/
Quería ver Pushing Daisies pero se me fueron un poco las ganas luego de que la serie fuera cancelada. Supongo que ahora sí podría verla :o
Gmail? D:
Al final, PD terminó con 22 capítulos, así que no es mucho anyway.
Ahora sí me llegó o/;;
La veré cuando termine TFA /o/
B-bueno ;-;
OK :D
