we’re back this week with truly one of my favorite episodes to date. in this installment, I discuss how quality therapy can be effective to the point of daily tears, how completely bonkers the Netflix reality tv show love is blind can be (and how i will still be watching season 6), and of worthiest note: a definitive ranking of common romance tropes. this is my greatest contribution to society. let us begin.

TIME STAMPS:

00:00 - intro

01:20 - when therapy works TOO well

11:38 - love is blind qualms & comments

33:48 - lack of queer representation in rom-coms

38:34 - ranking romance tropes (SERIOUS BUSINESS)

final ranking:

1. fake dating

2. friends to lovers

3. enemies to lovers

4. a love triangle

5. workplace romance

6. forbidden love

7. rekindling love after separation

8. crush is already taken

9. unrequited love

10. good girl/bad boy
