A Compilation of the Wattpadian Cliche
Hey everyone:)
I'm here to put everything that drives me crazy about cliche teen stories, please try to keep it to having only one or two of these cliches in your story, because if you don't, its the same as every single other teen drama.
And so without further ado, I give you the pitfalls of cliche.
The crazy best friend.
The crazy best friend is the result of what everyone wishes they were. The details of the crazy best friend change from story to story, but they all fit the basic guidlines of crazy, outgoing, don't care what others think, and with the word otrageous used to describe some part of them, at least once.
She could be a hippi yogi, or a promiscous bad-ass, and she almost always has color in her hair(Even though that is against most dress codes)They are a neccesary componet of a succesful teen fiction cliche story.
Then theres the gay best friend or sports instructer. He could also be an art teacher or employer.
Good fashion sense, tight clothes, and the ability to sense a second hot outgoing gay guy from a mile away.
These are also a neccesary part of a succesful teen fiction cliche story.
Next is the witty T-shirt.
The witty T-shirt is in practically every teen drama story.
Meant to make readers laugh and think about the genius sarcasm displayed by the author. This is the T-shirt that everyone has, but that ends up not fitting right or displays those sweat stains everyone has but wishes they don't. A third neccesary componet that makes a cliche, cliche.
Next is the chucks(AKA coverse), vans and skinny jeans combination.
Which actually just makes people look like they have gigantic hips and freakishly skinny ankles. But in teen cliches it is the epitome of "Just thrown on" and still cute. Paired with the witty T, its just a big cliche sandwhich.
Hot Hero.
The hot hero ranges from every possible hair color to every possible eye color, although eyes like melted chocolate or a startling blue or green color seem to be the favorites.
The things that seem to be the same are the streches of womanizing, the scorching hotness, and the six to eight pack that resides on his toned stomach and chest. Don't forget the lashes any girl would be jealous of.
He always changes his player ways by the end of the book and theres always some sort of misunderstanding that screws up his perfect time with said love interest.
Yet another necesasary element.
Enter the beautiful heroine.
Long, thick, luscious hair that you just have to run your hands through.
Big beautiful, captivating eyes with a thick fringe of lashes.
Slim, but curvy in all the right places, with small to large firm boobs.
Shes always stubborn, and finds the hot hero annoying or just downright hates him. But she just can't seem to resist his touches. And by the time she realises she loves him, shes already given him her virginity even though she gave a valient resistance for at least three chapters.
Oh and she has to be small, and fit perfectly against her hero whos at least a foot taller than her.
Oh! And she can't be a morning person, because everyone hates morning people...............
Next we have the abusive or stalkerish ex.
He always starts out perfect, but then he starts to get controlling, violent, and then all of a sudden she breaks up with him. In public to get it through his thick stalker skull that its over. Then her rejection turns into an obsession and he just CANT live without her.
Enter perfectly imperfect hero who beats living crap out of stalkerish ex.
Ah and we cant forget the skank.
The skank is always tall, beatiful, rich, and has big boobs.
She is obbsessed with the hero, but always gets shot down, unless said hero is emotionally compromised. This skank walks around with no self-respect, often wearing a low cut shirt and a skirt that could be a belt.
The skank and heroine are almost always enemies, and a favorite name happens to be Mkala or Mkenzie.
Something with the "Mk?"
Anyways the skank wears so much makeup that she looks like a white trash clown, and with her greasy bottle blonde hair, she looks gross.
Oh my gosh! I almost forgot the alarm clock! This alarm clock plays a song that shouldnt be allowed this early in the morning, and is slammed, slapped and thrown in the mornings. This trusty friend keeps you from being late.
Thank you for reading this guide to the cliche.
