There's this trope I call "midichlorian magic" where franchises, often prequels, try to explain things that don't need explaining (like "Wicked" explaining why the witch is green). I liked "Crystal Lake" but boy howdy it's one of the worst offenders

Neoliberal trope scapegoating the poor, old, sick, disabled.
Silent on corporate welfare, Inequitable distribution of wealth,
Profiteering causing poverty,
Full state pension less than 50% of minimum wage.
People relying on benefits because work doesn't pay.
Tax abuse by corporations and rich.

Britain's welfare ratchet.
My column for @financialtimes.com. Political incentives, rising expectations on the state & deeper economic failings make the UK's benefits system hard to rein in.

there is nothing wrong with ao3 trope tagging style as a practice as its own beast but it has a very particular function and invites your work to be considered a specific way. id go so far as to say that if you are writing anything bordering on literary fiction, trope tagging is a disservice

I feel like the whole "this person is some kind of sinister warlock because they can command crows" trope loses some of its impact once you understand how eager actual crows are to be somebody's minions.
