One of mine is (I don't actually know how big of a thing this is but) when someone starts freaking out and is just spitting out this run on sentence that gets more and more frantic?!?!? then someone else just goes, "….yes."

Mine is when a character has a set destiny that everyone tells them they must follow and them shattering that destiny and going on their own path.

For writing moments, I just like every moment that I get to embarrass the crap outta my three main characters, because basically all of them can get pretty cocky.

For tropes, my favorite is "the power of friendship." cringe

In AMJ, Gladion once wears a sign that says "Not Dio".
For tropes? Well, I like it when the hero and villain are reflections of each other.

I'm a huge sucker for families of choice/true companions.
In my own writing, my favorite moments are when my characters have to confront an uncomfortable truth about themselves, or show how serious things are getting by acting out of character.

I love it when a character reaches that point in their arc where they discover something about themselves (personality, magic, relationships, anything!) and they basically have to rethink like everything they've every know because it leads to knew plot twists, characters, possible deaths, and I freaking love it.
