In this episode, I break down the tropes that made me obsessed with romantasy:
🗡️ Enemies to Lovers
👑 Chosen One & Secret Royalty
💔 Forbidden Love
🌌 Soulmates (and when that trope fails)
👨👩👧👦 Found Family
…and why some of them hit harder than a battle-worn fae general in a mating bond.
We talk Feyre and Rhys, Violet and Xaden, Magnolia and BJ (yes, it’s chaos), and what makes a good trope great — or just toxic in disguise.
If you’ve ever said “I can fix him” about a morally grey war criminal, this one’s for you.
Romantasy isn’t just fantasy with kissing — it’s emotional warfare, character growth, and yes, magical yearning.
Grab your daggers. Bring your annotated paperbacks. Let’s unpack the tropes that ruined us (in the best way).
