Summary
Why do I like the fictional romantic relationships that I do? I'm not sure I know or that it is necessarily important that I do. Some things are unknowable after all or should be. I know that my tastes change like the wind. But I do know... that there is a pattern in the "fictional" relationships that appeal to me...and the is the gender power-play. Two people struggling to come to a common place. Equals. In power. In view. The push-pull. The banter. But mostly? It's the feeling of two people who are equally matched. They've met their match, their equal. No not soul mate. Not that. More someone who gets you, who understands your values, not your interests, but what means the most to you, what you would die for, what is the most important thing to you. Who knows your weaknesses, your triggers, and what makes you tick...yet is your shadow self, the other side. The complement. The yang to your ying. I look for those relationships in fiction. The other bits whatever they might be are just gravy, sometimes lumpy and unappetizing, and sometimes perfect and rich.

Why is it so difficult to discuss certain things in Fandom without falling into a kerfuffle? by shadowkat
Fandoms: Buffy the Vampire Slayer [TV], Multi-Fandom

Summary
I'm not really triggered by tv shows or fictional stories so much as people's reactions to those stories. It's a weird dilemma. I want to discuss these stories with others...but I also, want to enjoy the story and sometimes the two are counter-productive.
Examples? Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I desperately wanted to discuss this series in Seasons 6 and 7, and in some respects loved those seasons, but I had to deal with a volatile online fandom. And often they'd make me hate something, I'd have loved if I wasn't interacting with them. Farscape - was easier to watch, because I watched it long after it aired, and so the fandom wasn't really that active. No problems. BSG however...had similar issues.

Summary
This is a very long meta on the horror genre, starting with ten great horror films that I find memorable and the tropes they are a part of. Also commentary on the horror genre in general and on why I see horror films and why they are made or even told.
Note this was written in April 2012, so a lot of films such as Get Out, Us, Shape of Water, It Follows, X, etc and the Netflix horror series have not come out yet let alone been thought of or written.
