The Problematic Love Song is a set of filk/song parody lyrics praising "problematic" tropes, riffing on "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music. The first verse was originally posted to Tumblr by ripeteeth. Other users to the site then added to it in the notes and reblogs.

The original first verse by ripeteeth was posted on July 18 2024. Later that day, ripeteeth posted a revised version in a self-reblog, based on a suggestion by fox-bright in the post replies.

In reblogs of the post, a second verse was added by giraffeter on July 18, a third by imminentinertia on Aug 26, and a fourth by westiec on Aug 26.

The Initial Lyrics

bloodstains on blorbos and bruises on bottoms,

twenty-year age gap and tentacle cock come,

sobbing meowmeows all tied up with strings,

these are a few of my favorite things.


i’m writing a love song for problematic tropes

ripeteeth

Revised version:

@fox-bright suggested a very correct fix


bloodstains on blorbos and bruises on bottoms,

twenty-year age gap and tentacle cock come,

blubbering meowmeows all tied up with strings,

these are a few of my favorite things.

ripeteeth

Additions

bright shiny handcuffs and alpha dicks knotting

dubcon and noncon and hate sex and frotting

men who’ve been slapped in the mouth ‘til it stings

these are a few of my favorite things

giraffeter

gagging and sobbing and coughing up flowers

fuck or die magic and lube-lacking showers

blorbos with stitches and crutches and slings

these are a few of my favorite things

imminentinertia

when the girls fight!

when there's piss kink!

when they fuck their dad!

our archive is full of my favorite things, and that makes me feel so glad!

westiec
