Which characters, objects and conflicts do you find so overused and cliché that you're bored of them?

Certainly for me:

Characters:
- Dragons
- Elves
- Fairies
- Dwarves
- Wizards/Mages/magic people
- person born special who will become great

Objects:
- Crystals
- Gold/Chests
- Weapons with weird powers they shouldn't have.

Conflicts:
- long wars between races
- villains taking over the whole world

Cop/Detective shows were they add this one little gimmick/power/ability that the main character has to help solve the cases. Like, they can see ghosts, or they're psychic, or they've got some kind of special honed senses like that guy who can tell when people are lying to him.

people born special are really bothering me lately

like i want some stories about people who are totally normal and there's nothing different about them and they get taken on an adventure

not that they're like born to go on the adventure

i want a story about the sidekick and not the superhero ;_;

From your list, I can tell that you're probably pretty sick of the fantasy genre.
Maybe if you don't want these "cliches," you should watch something that isn't fantasy?
Because a character's race is not a cliche. A gruff dwarf is a cliche.

I'm writing a book that stays the hell away from all but one of these. So...that's great. I guess.

In Disney movies, the characters/animals or w/e that cannot speak usually act like they're a dog.

- Jumpscares in horror movies. They're only good when they aren't used every five minutes.
- Villains in kids movies and shows who get outsmarted by kids or animals.

People who are convinced by raw emotion in a safe environment.

OH COME ON.

If someone did that to me, and they were a stranger who I knew LITERALLY NOTHING ABOUT

I'd do crack nothing for them.

This is to discuss the connections of certain varia-bles on the TC.

r = pro-fit rat-io
P = pro-fit (after one full trade from bx to tx and back, using a +spread)
RT = Tx rate (tx to bx)
RB = bx rate (bx to tx)
m = # of bx
s = spread
