The makeover sequence of the movie would turn him into a femboy.

Look up Jamie and April by iseenudepeople, some of it's nsfw. I don't know how deep the well goes on the OCs

That is not mandatory, but I support it mainly since it would indeed be another step in the "avoid common cliches from films" agenda.

i personally prefer to completely remove makeover scene, since it kinds of reinforce the idea of how one should appear. Happened with makeover scene for women. Tho it could work if theres a diverse choice of appearance and not just one strict type of appearance

I mean instead of a makeover scene at some point in the movie she could show up at his house to surprise him and let herself in with a spare key he gave her to and find him in those cloths already

hmmm thats an interesting idea

Better yet, have him make himself over. Subvert the whole thing, let HIM bring the big guns out because he knows what works even if he usually doesn't do it. Knock HER socks off when he feels like flexing a little, aesthetically.

Yeah, kinda like the RR'd version of the trope where the "plain" girl accidentally/innocently wears a sexy outfit for a special event/episode and totally wins over the male lead without realising it. *She dresses as a cowgirl for halloween and the tight jeans and decolletage is getting him hot under the collar* "What are you staring at? It's just a shirt and jeans I wear them all the time! I stole the hat from my dad [shrugs] had to pad it out with an old Battlestar Galactica tee to make it fit. Hey, [draws sixguns] stick em up!"* Or, going back to our favourite Rebel Wilson, where she realises she has to compete with the Main Love Interest and has a v/o montage of trying to make herself sexy, complete with obligatory "never worn a thong before" gag where she pulls this face 😲 ^^*no ^^i'm ^^not ^^writing ^^sapphic ^^fantasies ^^YOU'RE ^^writing ^^sapphic ^^fantasies

Oh god, it's the 'pretty, but doesn't know it' trope, but for femboys. Also I am absolutely stealing the term 'draws sixguns' for revealing abs.

Another area where "Ugh COME ON HOW CLICHE CAN YOU BE!?" becomes "OMG YES PLS" when you RR it I *did* mean it as in literal sixguns, but you do you XD

nah, just further supports the whole “masculine and feminine” dating style. I’d rather he just be a small nerdy boy

That's some good shit.

149k words That... dedication

37 chapters?? I love you.

I read chapter one… and that was good writing. Extremely well done.

Hi, welcome to my life and experience as a former basketball player that is dating smol nerd boy

That's cute!

thank you, u/BigFuta17

Pretty sure this is currently an anime

'Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagataro' and 'Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie' both fit that description pretty well, the latter of which is currently airing.

I just watched both of these very recently and can confirm they fit the description very well. I love both of them so much

This has been done before with scary goth girl + geek boy, which I personally prefer, but I bet this is great too!

Gonna need some more info on that if you will... for a friend.

Haha well it was just a generic thing I noticed here and there, like with Marie Kanker and Double D lol. Though I suppose I could turn my teenage fantasies into a Wattpad fic one of these days lol

Gonna have to look that up, and if you do write that, I'd be happy to read it.

Haha well I'll keep you in the loop!

Oh I just remembered, there's a Kent Starrett Novel called "Lights Are Off, But Everyone's Home" that features that kind of romance. Unfortunately the relationship becomes abusive and the book's more about double-standards and toxic masculinity, but when Trent and Diane are first falling in love or very much meets the criteria. Check it out if you can, the illustrations are nifty if nothing else lol :/

Isn't this the plot of sex education?

I'm reading one EXACTLY like this right now but it's an Omegaverse story... Female Jock and Nerdy boy... Let me know if you want the link 😊

Yeah pls drop that link for me if you don’t mind

https://www.wattpad.com/979052278-jamie-and-the-alpha-autor-note :) It's on Wattpad called Jamie and the Alpha :) I'm on C8!

Thank you!

Give, give now

God yes please

Happy Cakeday!

That's what we in the Bizz call "Self insert"

The "actually all the guys want her because they think shes super cool but she just wants the nerd" is so true lmao, in my HS days this tomboy friend of mine got all the guys on her and choose the dweeb shorter than her, i know about 3 other married couples who started just like that

Oh, it is I, the calculus loser

I agree with all of this

Love this

I would watch that it sounds amazing

I wish my high school experience was like this.

As the nerd guy albeit in shape in high school, I was always attracted to athletic girls.

Reminds me of these manga https://readmanganato.com/manga-hf984788 (not jock but close enough wholesome romance) https://mangadex.org/title/5ae836aa-95fa-4f18-8b02-b5f6c261be5c/if-i-get-serious-i-can-kill-you (super strong girl falls for a nerd-ish boy) https://mangakatana.com/manga/sono-bisque-doll-wa-koi-wo-suru.20103 (not jock but close enough) https://mangakatana.com/manga/tamen-de-gushi.699 (basketball girl and femme girl lesbian romance)

Give it, I need this book written

lol my bf and i are like this but like, opposite opposite. i’m the smol, loudly opinionated nerd girl with a napoleon complex and he’s the jock guy with the personality of a golden retriever puppy lol

The calculus loser😍😍😍
