Taylor Swift please befriend Victoria Justice

Please, I really need Taylor to do the same she did with Sabrina with Victoria. Like, if she needs a good artist, that doesn't have scandals (unless you count the manufactored ones) to mold and give the spotlight while giving Scooter Braun the middle finger, please choose Victoria.

She is a good artist who was fucked over and deserves to shine.

Please i beg!!!

[soldierboys]

Bombsight got Soldierboy pregnant and they lost the baby and that’s why the have such a weird love hate relationship

this is true i read the leaked script

[little-crepe]

Let me add:

This is why at first Soldier Boy is disappointed and not very receptive about Homelander because he isn't his baby, THE baby, the baby he made with probably de only man that truly cared about him... that he loved.

He probably never dealt with the grief of losing the baby and separating from Bombsight and now he sees him once again while trying to connect with his son who isn't the one he wanted, who was made by taking his dna without his concent and his ex's, who is getting worse and Robbie has another person he cares for.

the angst, THE ANGST

Releases a shitty RPG Maker game where the free base game only allows access to the best ending and each of several "please support the dev" paid DLC packs adds a new ending that's progressively worse.

Everybody loves Bruce

I have a headcannon that at some point, almost every rouge ends up liking Bruce Wayne and being nicer to him, even if they are kidnapping him and his kids. At some point if you try to boast that you hurt Bruce or his kids you would get the stink eye from the rouges.

The penguin? Bruce had shaken his ass in his clubs and never made fun of his disability. His over all, very nice and never takes Oz jabs at heart.

Poison Ivy? Super respectful, offers her to join Wayne Industries as an specialist of their enviromental deparment. He very excitedly tells her about the plant he is carefully keeping alive and listens to his advice. Besides Harley really likes him, they went to college together. (She totally figured out he is Batman but would never tell Mr. J. Fuck Mr. J)

Killer Croc? Calls him Mr. Jones and treats him like a person. Would totally hire him for WI and ask him for help to give better resources and attention to the homeless that live in the sewers.

The riddler? Is constanly wanting to hire him to make escape rooms. Would patiently listen to Ed's ramblings of new riddles and would tell him he heard Green Arrow thinks he is cool.

And with the low level crooks, He is like "I understand you have gone through a lot, more than i can understand and I'm sorry. When you get out of prision please swing by WI, we will have a place for you" That or the crooks get cold feet because they survived thanks to one of the multiple Wayne charities and now feel bad kidnapping him.

If Batman doesn't evangelize you out of the life of crime, Bruce sure will

Burning the nest

I just had another angsty A/B/O idea™ and wanted to share it.

So, after Ashford. Everyone is cooped up in the Red Keep, emotions are high.

Maekar and Aerion don't stop clashing. They love eachother, but between the ego, obligations and trauma, they are at the other's throat constantly.

After a big fight, Maekar punishes Aerion by taking his nest away. Which is made with clothes from each member of his family, even Egg's. Suddenly, the nasty omega finds himself without the last shred of comfort he has.

It doesn't go well.

He starts spiraling and the only one who helps him out is no one else but Dunk, who gives him an old cape. The Alpha who he almost killed him is the only one giving him comfort.

Maekar ends up feeling bad and returning the clothes to Aerion but instead of arranging them back in his nest, the omega makes a bonfire and burns every single piece.

Pills and Whores, why I won't keep reading Rina Kent's books

Hello person reading this! This is a little opinion about MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE with 2 of Rina Kent's books and why I PERSONALLY won't continue to read her books. If you like her work that's amazing!! This is not an attack to you or you taste, is just my opinion and maybe an advice about something that even i did when i started writing.

Anyways! Here it goes!

SPOILER ALERT!

First of all, what books are we talking about? Kiss the villain and God of Fury. I read Kiss the Villain first and really liked it and then decided to read God of Fury. For transparency, I don't read Mafia Romance, I'm just not interested but since it wasn't so prevalent i decided to read it. I wasn't put off by the dark romance, i actually really liked how it worked, it was a nice shade of dark :)

Anyway, first pont of contention:

WOMEN!

Something tha gave me the ick and made me go from 4 stars to 3 in KTV, was the way women were portrayed. If you are interested in a character you are a whore, basically. Cherry? Morgan? Jessica? They are whores! Morgan was playing with a girls feeling while trying to fuck gareth. Cherry was trying to get one of the guys jealous. Jessica was drooling like a dog... It wasn't a good look.

The only women that weren't treated like that were Niko's sisters, Mia and Maya, Glyndon, Kill's girlfriend, and Nadia. For a while, Cassandra "Sandra", Kayden's deceased wife gets this treatment too but then the author fucks it up (IMO) and it almost made me throw my phone against the wall.

The problem continues in God of fury with Brandon's ex (Sorry i forgot her name) who was a golddigger that only wanted him (and later Niko) for his money and sex.

It wasn't necessary. You can write a female character that wants to get with the protagonist or has a very big sexual life without treating her like shit. Without judging her.

The problem seemed to extend to anyone who is interested in the protagonist, like the gay guy who used to hook up with Niko. Like saying, "you are disgusting for being interested on him even if the protagonist is a slut"

Which leads me back to Sandra and her character asessination.

You are telling me that you spent 80% of the book, creating a character that haunts the narrative, that is the reason the novel exist, that is portrayed as beautiful and pure and then, by the last part of the book you say "Joking! She was mean and Kayden never loved her, tee hee!"

I almost scream in the subway. A guy asked me if i was okay.

First, you don't have to destroy all you worked for to legitimize the new relationship. Kayden can love Sandra and Gareth, can let her go and love again, can let her spirit rest and be free without saying "You know, i never really loved her, i just felt rage and guilt for her death"

Second, the character assessination. Yes, Sandra doesn't have to be perfect, she is more intersting if she isn't, that doesn't mean you suddenly have to get Kayden's employees saying "Yeah, she was kind of a bitch, we like you better" It could have come from Kayden, finally letting himself reconcile the ghost that haunts him and the real Sandra that made mistakes. }

AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT HER DEATH?

I was just like... please tell me you aren't victim blaming her, please tell me you aren't victim blaming her...

sigh...

I was really enjoying the book, even if the weird "This happened off screen (in another book) confused me sometimes but this stuff made me go from 4 stars to 3.

Then I read God of Fury....

Before I give my opinion, I want to say i understood I was getting into a series with barely any context. I don't mind the "This happened in another book" or stuff like that. I didn't care.

This book, I wasn't vibing as much as with KTV, specially with the way Niko talked about his dick. It wasn't funny or quirky, it was weird. But I kept reading because i liked Brandon, I liked how fucked up he was, Niko hunting him and their chemistry.

I was like, okay, i can give this 3 stars, it's a good book. (3 stars is good, entretaining)

Then we had the love interest shit again. Okay, but it was Brandon using his ex! He was the one to call her back! Why she has to be the golddigger?? WHY? And the gay was, it felt so fucking weird.

My biggest problem with this book was the pill thing.

I liked the way Rina managed Brandon's ptsd, his assault and his mental health in general. I didn't like the "she didn't realize she had assaulted him" but i could roll with it.

And then we get the whole "pills makes him loose his spark" with Niko.

Niko reads to me like a neurodivergent person with a condition that makes him really violent. He doesn't take medication because he reacted badly to him. You could write an arc or a time skip, talking about him looking for a doctor that actually can finds out what is going on and give him the correct dose to reduce his explosions. Instead, by the end of the book, he sometime have to take some pills sometimes when he gets too agitated and neither of them likes it because he gets "shut off"? "empty"?

This was published in 2023, THIS WAS PUBLISHED IN 2023!!

I just...

sigh...

I think Rina Kent is a competent writer. Her books are interesting, funny, had to put down. I really liked Kiss the Villain and God of Fury was good. They are not perfect, of course, but they can stand on their own. I'm sure the rest of her books have, more or less the same quality and that she probably would get even better, but this things killed it for me.

I don't want this to be a "RINA KENT SUCKS!" post, because it's not. but i hope if you read this it can help you with your own writing because it did to me. I used to divide my female characters like this, i used to be quite misoginistic even if i didn't realize. I was like "she is not like the other girls!" and even thought i was so progressive and such a good feminist. Now that I'm older i can realize my mistakes and, hopefully, grow.

Please don't harass Rina Kent or people who like/or not her books. This is just the opinion of one person in the internet.

Dunkaerionlings

Because my wips got deleted, here you have my version of the dunkaerionlings:

Maegor: The oldest, born in Lys. Basically color swap Dunk but a bit taller and broader. Sweet and charming but with a sharpness he doesn't show too often. Very protective over his siblings. Does a lot of heavy lifting with the small folk, should open his own PR agency. Going to marry Lyonel omega son, they grew up together. He is often called "The White Dragon"

Visenya: Stillborn, had dragon characteriscs. She still protects her family from the skys.

Saera: The wild princess. Taller than most women, think of Brienne mixed with Meryl Streep. The first grandkid born in summerhall. She runs around the garden and climbs the trees, getting her dresses dirty but nobody cares. Is the twins favorite because she showed them all the hidden passages and secret doors.

Dyanna: The princess of Dorne. Named after her grandmother because she looks alike, except for her blue eyes. Aerion and Maekar cried when she was born. The darling of the court, is a little lady, the opposite of her sister, until you speak ill of her family. She knows how to handle a dagger, be sure. She loves playing dress up with Aerea and Rhaenyra, specially with Aerea who loves her jewel collection.

Daemon & Aemond: The twins, also known as the little terrors. They are carbon copies of Aerion, but less entitled and more mentally stable (Sorry Maekar, you really dropped the ball) They love getting where they shouldn't and causing kid chaos. They have sun and moon coded dragons (yes, I'm cheesy) For some reason, they decided Baelor is their favorite and follow him everywhere and give him "gifts": rocks, feathers and such. They are banned from bringing fish or lizards. One of them is going to marry one of Raymund kids. He cried.

Aerea: The dragon princess. She has dragon characteristics, scales, claws, fangs and horns. Aerion little darling. The kingdom sees her as a sign from the gods. She brings back the dragons. Maegor is her favorite sibling, would play and climb on him. He is very protective of her.

Arlan: Dunk's carbon copy, big blond and beautiful. The hero you were holding for. Noble, sweet and chivalrous. Follows the steps of his dad and big brother. Becomes Egg's Squire for a while, he is her favorite. Total mama's boy, no matter the size. Is going to marry a witch. He meets her during his travels and she saves his life. She is prickly, sharp and mean, rings a bell?

Rhaenyra: The shadow queen. Like her namesake, she is sharp, intelligent and very driven. She knows her chances of being queen are very, VERY, slim, besides she loves her family and won't start a killing spree, no matter how much she wants to strangle them sometimes, but that doesn't mean she will stay away from the crown and politics. She grows to be a very respected and feared in the kingdom. She becomes the first woman to be the hand of the king.

Maekar: The baby. The most serious and surly baby you have ever met in your life. Just like his namesake, he is a very serious and just done with the realm. He just want to be left alone to read and train. He is Baelor and Maekar's favorite because he is so quiet and calm... most of the time. Just... don't bother him or say bad thing about his fam, okay? Will marry a Dorn Knight that can make him laugh until his belly aches.

And here are the Dunkaerionlings!! I hope I can write a few fics about them.

A little note: They are "Brightflames". Baelor recognized them and they founded their own house.

Why choosing James?

Something that I've always been curious about is why Lily chose James after he bullied her ex-friend for years. Like, it goes against friend code, and yes, ex-friends count. I think is a very interesting point to touch and examine without demonizing her.

Her age

Lily was like 18 when she married James, give it or take. She was very young, still developing and probably having a worldwind romance with James, spurred even more by the context she lived in. They were in the middle of a war, so she could easily feel like they were Romeo and Juliet, that he changed for her and was better, that he was the good guy while her ex-friend fell on the deep end.

Disclaimer: She was in no obligation to save Snape, nor forgive him.

Maybe she thought James changed and trusted him after being hurt by Snape. Maybe she justifyed herself saying "It's not the same because Snape is a guy and he is bad now"

Easily, any 16-17 year could think that

2. The war

The times and context matters. She was a teen, in the middle of a war, being one of the people in danger, basically having a bullseye on her back. And then, your friend who is interested in dark stuff, who has been hanging with the same people who wants your kind dead, calls you a slur.

Yes, he was heavily distressed, hanging from his leg, being thretened and sexually assaulted, by someone who has been tormented him with no big consequences.

That doesn't change the impact. For a young woman to hear your friend calling you a slur, is something huge. It hurts.

So, she could lean into the other side, the "good side", because now your ex-friend is on the bad side, he is the enemy, so she doesn't have to keep any loyalty to him.

And then things keep getting worse and worse so you stick to what is good, what is okay.

3. The 70s

Lily was my mom's generation. My mom's generation married young, they didn't divorce, they ignored many red flags, they kept going because it's what you had to do. Is easy to think that she could ignore many things under the haze of love because she had been raise in a way to ignore them.

4. Griffyndor hero

Okay, this one is more of an idea mixed with a headcannon.

Let em explain:

Some time ago i saw a video from a creator i like, who doesn't like Snape, about a headcannon he had about Lily.

The idea was that Lily was an asshole like Petunia, that she was jugdamental, awful even. When Snape called her mudblood, she thought "I look like that?" and decides to change.

I really enjoy it and want to add something.

Lily didn't completely change, she just redirected. She still believes that some people are better than others and some deserve rights but others not, but she redirected it to the light. She was the good guy, they were the bad guys. SHe was better, they were scum. She didn't have to keep any kind of loyalty to Snape, he was one of them.

THis doesn't excuse the deatheaters, it's just an idea of how the brain of a 16-17 year old could work.

I think it's something really interesting to explore without demonizing any of the parts, specially Lily who is often a saint or a bitch.

[little-crepe]

You can Dislike/Hate Snape without JUSTIFYING JAMES

I just saw a video of a creator i tend to disagree in my FYP, where someone said they couldn't imagine marrying someone who bullied my friend. I don't follow this creator, i tend to skip their videos, i don't interact with them but foolishly never blocked them.

This creator said (paraphrasing) "we are not sure he (James) bullied snape and snape was part of a bigger group and they fought"

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDIN?

Okay, I get it, you don't like Snape, you think he is an asshole, a dark wizard, it's okay, you do you boo but don't try to change THE FUCKING TEXT. CANONICALLY James bullied Snape. A rich, pureblood, Griffyndor bullied a poor, half-blood, Slytherin.

That doesn't change that Snape joined a hate group, that doesn't change he was nasty towards children, that doesn't change any of the bad things he did. YOU CAN STILL HATE HIM. YOU DON'T NEED TO SANITIZE JAMES.

I'm just so done. Thank god for the block button, I'm done with this person.
