Honestly, you know what I'm in the mood for?

Some earnest fantasy or sci-fi.

I'm kinda bored by dark and edgy speculative fiction stories, regardless of their medium.

The subversive thing anymore is to play those tropes straight.

@witchfynder_finder Hmmmm. I agree. Or at least don't just vapidly flip the trope. Play with it and subvert it but subtly. Say something with our about it more nuanced than, "What everyone else does, but backwards."
