Let's talk about comfort reads!

Do you have different preferences when you're not feeling well? Or perhaps when you're anxious/sad/angry/other negative emotions?

What sort of tropes/story beats/other things do you look for in your reading material during these times?

I read a lot of stupid (sometimes bizarre) things with over-the-top drama when I'm hormonally sad and volatile (especially during my manhwa phase) haha! Like one or two days later I'd look back on it and laugh at myself.

For a while my comfort canon when I was having a bad day was the I Ship My Rival X Me audio drama. So stupid, so fun, and the S1 ending theme always made me smile.

But yeah otherwise, rereads or just predictable/tropey stories, preferably with hurt/comfort tropes. A lot of het romance (TV/novels). Maybe fic, but I haven't been in the fic-reading mood for at least three years now. :(
