i hate love triangles but i AM a sucker for the trope that’s like (jealous asshole voice) “you could have had anyone in the entire kingdom/city/school and you chose THAT trashbag???” where the trashbag in question is indeed deserving of the title and even unapologetically embraces it, but also has proven themselves throughout the story to be a kind, compassionate, attentive and just genuinely good person who is willing to make an effort to deserve the love interest’s affection and even then still doesn’t expect anything from them as a ‘‘‘reward’’’
