[ OT ] SatChat : What is your favorite literary trope or cliche ?

Oh man, you're making me pick something super hard to actually pick out. I got lost on tvtropes for a while to give you this answer.: p 
 
 I'd probably have to say the Chekov's ___ ones. It's pretty hard to set up *properly* without the reader going `` well that's going to come up later, duh'' or `` oh good lord, that's the plot object RIGHT THERE, you idiots''. When it's set up well though, I feel like you go `` ooh. That *was* important.'' Or you're kicking yourself for not seeing it earlier. Some variation on it lol.
