hating on a fictional female character because you like her male love interest has got to be one of the most pathetic things i’ve ever seen in my life 😭
i understand authors wanting to be realistic and doing stuff like "love doesn't always work!!! people sometimes break apart and that's okay!!!" but no pls let me be happy in fiction, im tired
shoutout to everyone who didn't read for years and recently found joy in books again, we all have different journeys and what matters is that we're all finding happiness in fiction again
dark romance books are INSANE, i just read an entire chapter of this girl trying not to be unalived and now they're fucking in the snow...i fear for my sanity
tbh enemies to lovers is the most unrealistic trope because do you really think you'll ever fall in love with the worst person you know irl EW YUCK DISGUSTING I CANT EVEN 🤮
bro why are people suddenly saying there cant be enemies to lovers in contemporary romance books, why do you think there has to be physical violence and knives to the throat for it to be enemies im confused
"If she was destined to burn in hell, i would burn with her" is one of the best romantic quotes in fantasy books and i'm done with people sleeping on it
everyone keeps posting "he was sunshine and i was midnight rain" with random people's pictures and ik they're supposed to be book characters but i literally have no idea what yall are talking about 😭
look i understand the frustration but why wouldn't you make sure the book you're publishing doesn't have any spelling errors? authors constantly blaming the readers for everything is very odd to me
it's time we stop judging characters from fantasy books according to our own morals when most of the times they live in worlds that have nothing to do with ours
we always talk about cardan as a dad but what about cardan as the husband of a pregnant jude? i just know he would mention the fact jude is having his baby to ANYONE who'd listen
one of the weirdest things about me as a reader is that im literally incapable of reading something without a happy ending like the thought alone makes me sick
we always talk about how cardan thought he was cute when he 'banished' jude from elfhame but never about how jude – the mother of scheming - was so hurt and blinded by his betrayal that she never even tried to fight back or see beyond his words. that's jude duarte in love to me
still cant believe the blood rite was described as this nearly impossible challenge that even the most powerful high lord and the strongest illyrians struggled to pass but three girls won it after training for like 4 months with the power of friendship
these authors r on CRACK
being a hopeless romantic and reading books is not a good mix because i know i have completely delusional romantic standards but it doesn't stop me from craving them
honestly one of the worse things an author can do is forget their own character's personality for something that makes no sense, it always makes me drop the book so fast
