seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises it’s about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors

People on booktok saying "books shouldn't be political, booktok is supposed to be a safe space🥺" with a shelf full of fantasy books in the background is sooo funny to me. Like I hate to break it to you, but the very books you read are not a "safe space" for you if you're a republican/conservative/Trump supporter. In Lord of the Rings you would literally be an orc. In Harry Potter you would be a death eater. In your beloved Sarah J Maas books you wouldn't be Aelin or Feyre, you would be a follower of fucking King of Hybern or Erawan. Your favourite characters would be fighting to get rid of you lmao. It's insane to me how these people don't see that.

It’s a content warning to you. To me it’s the reason it’s on my reading list

Marlinchen and the creatures of the garden from Ava Reid’s Juniper & Thorn. Sad goblin is my favorite

Shipping fictional characters isn’t representative of your moral values. It’s representative of your particular psychic damage and the themes and motifs that haunt you. Hope this helps.

i'm in the middle of Harrow the Ninth and i'm genuinely worried i will never feel the same way reading any other books ever again. what did tamsyn muir put in this series?? because it is altering my brain chemistry with every single page. this is the most fun i've had reading in such a long time. problem is i don't even know what to read after this because everything else just feels dull in comparison

“it sounds like you’re justifying their actions-“ i am. they’re a fictional character. i’m okay with anything they do all the time. hope this helps.

Tbh some of u take romanticized writing way too literally and it is killing ur media literacy.

"Growled?! Like a dog?!?!" No like a human person making a low rumbling groan.

"Fanfiction writers overexagerate words too much." Do you not understand that fanfiction as a culture is deeply rooted in the romance genre? The entire basis of fanfiction was to romanticize Spirk.

Exagerated language is a huge part of romance as a genre. It's necessary to give the exagerated, romanticized feeling. It effectively serves as rose colored glasses. It helps build and maintain sexual tension. It's an incredibly useful tool in creating a visual image for the reader to follow.

Please stop looking at completely normal terminology and curling your lip in disgust. Just because its not the way you would tell that story doesn't mean the story is told wrong.

sigh, why do i even try to read books by male authors? i tried reading Nevernight by renowned author Jay Kristoff, and it could have been good if it wasn't suffering from Written By A Man Syndrome. the female protagonist seems to just be the embodiment of a male fantasy; badass, sexy, 16-years-old, and Not Like Other Girls. she gave a whole speech on why using the word "cunt" as an insult is actually empowering to women, which in turn made the male lead fall in love with her instantly! then we go on to depicting graphic sex scenes (why is a 50-year-old man even writing smut about a 16-year-old girl?) and then she gets a fucking boob-job. because that makes one a better assassin, apparently?? weird how none of the male assassins had to get boob-jobs. just the sheer amount of times the author mentioned the mc's breasts (again, she's 16) in this book gave me the creeps. ugh

i love you insane, unhinged female characters who fuck everything up. i love you female rage that ruins everything else. i love you evil women who don't give a shit.
