characters who believe that they are inherently unlovable 🔥🔥🔥
there’s no variation on this trope that isn’t absolutely peak. “im unlovable but i desire that connection so ill let myself be used instead”? peak. “im unlovable so ill drive everyone away” is automatically peak however you play it. “i am an unlovable thing so i will become a new person who isn’t”? peak beyond belief!!! i love characters 🥰
“I’m the most awesome being in existence, but also i am unlovable because everyone else sucks and they don’t know how to love something awesome when they see it” –my OCs Aster and Elke before they enter the glorious dumpster fire that is their love
