Love: Rivals to Allies. It absolutely rules when people go from beating the absolute shit out of each other to joining up with one another- usually with incredibly complementary abilities Hate: the Exceedingly Young General- bitch, you look 12 years old, you are NOT Commander of the Legion!

Love: Fantasy based on non-medieval European aesthetics Hate: Prophecies, just sucks all the tension out of the story and robs character of agency
