Not Thriving: Cupid Hates Odd Couples

I could maybe see something to the tune of "Couples considered odd by the standards of the work have more relationship troubles than those couples considered normal."

For example, "In Tropetown, the interspecies relationship between human Bob and token space alien Aerith is more rocky than human Beta Couple Carol and Danny."

That is, assuming it's a legitimate trend.

As for the current Cupid Hates Odd Couples, I'd say it could probably go. The two types listed seem redundant with Bros Before Hoes and I Want My Beloved to Be Happy.

I still don't even understand what the page is about at all, but considering it's from 14 years ago and still has got less than 20 wicks, I vote for cutting it.

- Love Tropes calls it:

"Good friends fall for the same person, causing them to fight each other."

Stock Aesops says:

"Friendship Is More Important Than Love"

Hang on, that just makes it a dupe of Friends Turned Romantic Rivals, which launched very recently. Even more reason for a cut.

If no one else wants to take care of the fourteen wicks to the page, I'll do it later. I'm working on reading through Yuri is My Job! for my TLP at the moment

Dewicking is done.

Hmm, trope epithet... "Got speared in the heart with one of Cupid's arrows"?
