A sense of danger or toxicity is often present. It could be that the relationship is bad for the mental or physical well - being of one or both characters. There might be elements like jealousy that are taken to extreme levels, or the characters might be involved in dangerous situations because of their relationship.
One common element could be poor writing. This includes bad grammar, misspelled words, and a lack of proper sentence structure. Another might be the overuse of the tentacle motif without any real creativity. For example, just having tentacles show up randomly without any logical connection to the plot. Also, weak character development is often seen. The characters may just be there to react to the tentacles rather than having their own personalities and motives.
One common element could be neglect. The mother figure in the fanfic might be too absorbed in her own affairs, like her career or personal relationships, and neglect the needs of her children. Another could be over - controlling behavior, where she tries to micromanage every aspect of her child's life, which often leads to conflict.
One common element could be a sense of rebellion. The 'bad little girl' character is likely to go against the norms or rules of the story's setting. For example, in a school - based fanfic, she might break all the school regulations.
Common themes in such fanfics may include the power dynamics in the relationship. There could be a situation where one character has more power or influence, which affects the romance. Additionally, the theme of redemption might be present. If there are mistakes made in the relationship, one or both characters might try to redeem themselves to save the relationship.
One common element is the transformation of the bad boy. He starts off as this somewhat rough character but through saving the abused boy, he becomes more empathetic. Another element is the vulnerability of the abused boy. His past abuse shapes his character and his relationship with the bad boy.
One common theme is rebellion. The bad boy and bad girl often rebel against the norms of the ninja society in the Naruto world. For example, they might not follow the traditional training methods or the strict hierarchy of the ninja clans.
One common theme is love. Since Bad Buddy is centered around the relationship between two characters, the fanfic often explores different aspects of their love, like how it grows and overcomes obstacles. Another theme is friendship. Even though they are more than friends in the story, the foundation of their friendship is also explored. And self - discovery is also common as the characters figure out who they are within the context of their relationship.
One common theme is redemption. Writers often explore how bad guys can change and become good. Another is the origin story, showing what made them bad in the first place.
One common problem is OOC (out of character) behavior. In bad Drarry fanfic, the characters of Draco and Harry might act in ways that completely go against their established personalities in the original 'Harry Potter' series. For example, Draco might be overly soft and kind without any proper build - up to such a change, or Harry might be made into a very mean - spirited person which is not in line with his heroic and empathetic nature.
One common problem could be poor characterization. In a bad Yugioh fanfic, the characters might act out of character, not behaving as they do in the original series. For example, Yugi might be portrayed as overly aggressive instead of his usual kind - hearted self.
