Pratique du Shadowing: Fluffy Tropes That'd Be Scary IRL - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo
Création de la leçon...
1
What cute or fluffy fanfiction trope would be absolutely horrifying in real life?
2
For me, it's any variation of the soulmate, eh you?
3
Like, what do you mean that they're destined to be my other half, whether platonically or romantically?
4
What do you mean any other relationship will pale in comparison?
5

6
And let's go read some answers.
7
Let me know your own, too.
8
I mean, can you imagine waking up one morning to find someone else's name tattooed on your skin
9
because fate picked them to be your soulmate?
10
It's like getting a bad tattoo that you can't laser off.
11
It'd be terrifying to think about Destiny choosing someone, irrespective of their personality or literal criminal record.
12
Plus, can you imagine the pressure?
13
One bad date and you're not just ruining your week, but apparently the universe is planned too.
14
No ma'am, I'd rather have my Netflix and snacks in peace, thank you very much.
15
This is probably not relatable to everyone, but the only one bed trope.
16
I hate sharing beds with people, even when I'm prepared to.
17
Even in a romantic relationship, I want my own space to sleep in.
18
I would rather sleep on the floor than be forced to share a bed with someone without any mental preparation.
19
This is going to be my answer.
20
I'd rather sleep on the floor than be in the same bed as someone.
21
And I hate sleeping on floors.
22
The always positive, pushy friend who pushes the introvert out of their shell and urges for radical physical transformation.
23
I have no patience for that.
24
Interfering friends that relentlessly needle and push you to ask out your crush or just generally are very nosy,
25
might even outright ask you if you like that person right in front of them.
26
I experienced it, hated it, it just made me uncomfortable.
27
I can't stand it in any kind of fiction.
28
It's such a turnoff for me that I'll just stop reading if the friends are too interfering.
29
Fake dating to appease nosy ass family members.
30
just tell them you're single and move on.
31
Ooh, good one.
32
One of my ultimate tropes that would actually make me so mad.
33
We have to practice kissing so they believe it.
34
Huh?
35
Not exactly horrifying, but I once had someone I had a crush on for years come back into my life and ask me out.
36
And it was awkward as hell and did not result in anything positive.
37
Of course, I'm sure sometimes it is something that works out in real life, but in my case, it was the opposite.
38
But in fanfic, I still love it.
39
Okay, this might sound cliche, but enemies to lovers.
40
These fics are my absolute favorite, but in real life, if a person called me every insult under the sun, relentlessly bullied me, hurt my friends or family,
41
etc. I'm sorry, I am not going to forgive you or suddenly think, well, he called me a dumb bitch before,
42
but surely he doesn't mean it now.
43
Nah, you say what you mean, and if you thought so lowly of me before, or thought it's okay to treat people like that, why would I trust you now?
44
This also includes the plots where a person is mean to everyone but the main character.
45
No, it's not cute that you're rude to people even if you're sweet to the main character.
46
You're still a dick.
47
Yeah, and I also love the idea of the hero character who can't help
48
but be attracted to the villain despite how much they hate each other, but I can't imagine feeling like that in real life.
49
If I hate you, then I want absolutely nothing to do with you.
50
No other underlying feelings.
51
Pretty much any enemies to lovers.
52
They tried to kill each other, and now they're together?
53
Buddy, what?
54
That's gotta be traumatic.
55
or variations thereof, like bullies dating their victims.
56
A lot of people like to write trauma-rebound romance.
57
I don't, because not only does it not work in real life, but it makes the ship feel forced.
58
It's why I only ship Korra with therapy, and why I rewrote Disney's direct-to-video sequel to The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
59
Jealousy and possessiveness.
60
In media, it's lovable or hot or both.
61
I'd let myself be spoon-fed with that.
62
But in real life, it's scary AF.
63
Coffee shop AU, specifically the whole flirting with the barista thing.
64
It's cute and fic, but flirting with service workers in real life is a whole no. They're doing their job.
65
A stubborn character being forcibly cared for.
66
I feel like it would be really uncomfortable doing or receiving that in real life, and it could be genuinely traumatic at worst.
67
But in fiction, it's like, yeah, you make sure this dumbass doesn't hurt themselves further.
68
I am the stubborn character, and it is hell.
69
People ignore your boundaries thinking they know better than you, when they never do in reality, and think they're doing a good thing.
70
Meanwhile, you feel even worse, because now you're sick or injured, but a loved one violated your trust
71
and showed they have a very low opinion of you and your abilities to know what is good for yourself.
72
Probably risking your life to continue to date the one person, after figuring out they have a dangerous job,
73
mafia, assassin, spy, etc. because you love them.
74
I couldn't handle knowing I could be a target of kidnapping.
75
Or, you know, dying.
76
I like a normal, stable life.
77
Not sure if this is fluffy, but I'd be miserable in a forbidden relationship scenario.
78
Mainly because I've been out of the closet for years, and the one time I dated someone that was in the closet, I felt that I had to watch what I said,
79
couldn't be seen in public, and not feel liked or acceptable when I truly did nothing wrong but exist.
80
No idea of love is worth making yourselves both miserable.
81
Doctor slash dentist slash teacher slash professor slash boss ex patient slash subordinate slash student.
82
Conveniently running into the other person multiple times.
83
In real life, that's stalker behavior.
84
In fiction, it's a convenient way to have the two love interests meet.
85
Or showing up to the same place a lot because you know that's where the other person goes a lot, or works.
86
I've read a couple fics about this trope.
87
A is hiding a surprise or funding a trip and had to lie about it to Bee.
88
I remember two fics that took a realistic approach.
89
Bee would suspect cheating and get sad and depressed.
90
Imagine weeks or months of your partner acting shady and maybe everyone else gaslighting you as they are in on it.
91
And at the end, after all the worrying and sadness and anger, surprise, it was all a trick.
92
I would have preferred no surprise over all this drama.
93
I'm with you on this.
94
Would it be that difficult to say, Hey hun, I'm working on a surprise for you for your birthday, so you're not messing with their emotions?
95
You can still surprise them.
96
The Snowdin trope.
97
Yeah, I get why it's fluff central and everything, but honestly, the idea of being trapped in a small cabin or room with only a small group of people, or just one person.
98
It makes me shiver when I think of myself being in that situation.
99
Maybe it's because I'm neurodivergent and need my own space, maybe it's the idea alone of being trapped,
100
or maybe I just know too many horror stories that start off with that very same premise.
101
I've watched The Shining too much.
102
I'd be apprehensive in that situation too.
103
Betting on people's relationships?
104
It's fine in fanfics, I guess.
105
Overused in my opinion but in real life, it's just weird and invasive.
106
If I found out someone I knew bet on me getting together with someone else, I'd be pissed.
107
Maybe some others might not relate to this, but matchmaking.
108
For most of my life, people have tried to play matchmaker for me, and I hate it.
109
My best friend is driven mad by the fact that I won't put myself out there to date very much, and it's so horrifying when people do this to me.
110
I don't like the idea of anyone but me choosing someone for me.
111
I know it comes from good intentions, but unless I greenlight it, I hate when it happens.
112
Which is too often.
113
Another trope, heavy clinginess.
114
It doesn't matter if it's unhealthy codependency or done as a cutesy pestering in a story.
115
In real life, it's a lot to deal with when someone is like that.
116
All the second, third, and one hundredth chances given to a troubled person who keeps messing things up.
117
No matter how difficult and hopeless it all looks, their loved ones persist and forgive and keep loving them.
118
Aww, so sweet.
119
I guess it would be nice to be this person.
120
In real life, I was the person giving chances and persisting in an abusive relationship until it destroyed me.
121
0 out of 10, do not recommend.
122
I've seen several shows where either the male
123
or female leads are really pushy and refuse to take no for an answer
124
and do everything they can to win over the counterpart lead.
125
It's cute when you know that's the person they're going to end up with.
126
When it's literally anyone else, it is annoying as heck, and you just want that person to disappear.
127
And it's kind of stalker-ish.
128
Person A breaks up with person B, and days or weeks later, B comes back to A and demands they get back together.
129
It's cute in fiction that is known for breakup and makeup cycles, but if it happened to me in real life,
130
I'd be like, no, I had my valid reasons for breaking up with you, even if you refused to believe them.
131
I agree so much on the soulmate AU stuff.
132
For me, it's all of it too, but especially the idea of your soulmate having telepathic access to your mind or emotions.
133
Like, no thank you, my mind is the only true privacy.
134
The f*ing soulmate goose.
135
I think I missed that one.
136
I think it goes, you and your soulmate encounter a goose that forces you to meet, because it does what geese do and chases you both with relentless frightening aggression.
137
That would be horrifying.
138
Geese are no joke.
139
Any trope that can be found in a Hallmark Christmas this movie, I loathe the very idea of it happening to me in real life.
140
To me, all of them.
141
Sorry guys, I just don't feel like actual real life romances are my thing.
142
Yes, I can't stomach most romance because so many of the tropes are really creepy and toxic to me.
143
Now, fighting back to back on the battlefield and patching each other up afterwards is something I can get behind.
144
But That's not fluffy.
145
It's absolutely fluffy.
146
The fluff is just a little bloody is all.
147
Me, looking to use all these tropes for horror and fiction.
148
It's all about execution.
149
Oh, I love executions.
150
Big thank you to my Patreon members, my little ruse.
151
Gooski55, Nebulatic Vexen, Donko42, John Huang, Laser Scorpio, Night Avenger, Mintara,

163

164
Let me know in the comments, what is a fluffy trope that you think you wouldn't like to have happen in real life?
165
I think I've written quite a few relationships where it's cute on paper, but if I was in that position, if I was in that relationship,
166
I don't know if it would be as fun.
167
So let me know your examples.
168
I think that'd be fun to read.
169
I will see you in the next video.
170
I wish you all the best.
171
And until next time, this is Joey hopping on out.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
