Milo Lamoree is livin’ the glamorous life of a sex shop sales rep, forever explaining to grown adults what they should and should not be sticking inside of themselves and/or others. He’s not doing any sticking himself—his demisexuality hasn’t exactly enticed any “hot young singles in your area.” Considering his clientele’s wackadoo misconceptions about anatomy, etc., it’s not like Milo has the leftover energy to fall in love, anyway.

…Well, too bad.

Stevie Hart has heard it said that being bisexual means you have more options, meanwhile she’s experienced that not at all. Her love life is all unsolicited—ahem—pics (you know the ones) and straight couples looking for an experimental third. No thanks. When you’re already managing your own agoraphobia, who has time to deal with whatever’s going on with those people? Falling in love isn’t worth the mess.

…Until it is.

Along with their meddling mutual friends, Possibly The Worst Ex In The World, and a totally bangin’ soundtrack, Stevie and Milo hit every major identity crisis (sexual, spiritual, existential, you get it) on their way to finding each other—and themselves.

(And if they happen to also find the best title of an adult film while they’re at it? That’s just the rainbow sprinkles on top.)

Stick It (2006) dir. Jessica Bendinger

i just think that perhaps if u are already writing a mafia romance you can and dare i say should say things like “murder” instead of fuckin “unalive” in the text

I reblogged this last month, tagged it, and said “might as well see if it works.” I used this video as a reference to find all the forms that i needed (which is A LOT, especially if you’re a dependent) and sent them through the mail, not really allowing myself to hope.

dude.

Hospitals like to hide these policies under a lot of successive links in obscure places, so if you don't see anything right away, keep looking! Get friends to help! Make it a scavenger hunt. A game where you're assassins sent to slit capitalism's throat

Stay engaged.

[posttexasstressdisorder]

Even though it's hard...stay engaged.

@ straight romance authors, i’ve got a joke it’s time for you to retire

I spend a lot of time, like, pontificating here, so if you just want the answer: It’s the “Well, he must be gay” ~zinger~ re: the MMC, and t

[…] The MMC is to some degree aloof or mysterious or seemingly uninterested in the FMC or, sometimes, her "ballsy, badass bestie" who decides to hit on him first.

Conclusion? "He must be gay, because no man can resist a hot girl who offers him a no-strings hookup" (GOD FORBID we think for the splittest of seconds that the FMC isn't the hottest woman to ever live, and ditto for her BFF who's probably starring in book two, and nobody wants to read about normies gettin' railed so don't you even consider the possibility).

every conversation on here increasingly feeling like this tweet

[birdplushie]

often you will see things online where you just have to be like "what a strange thing to say" or "i don't think that's true :)" to yourself and try to move on or you will lose your mind

[majicmarker]

this author and publisher are really trying to tell me the fmc's physical description is "not really needed for context" since it's 1st person pov like jesus christ save the reader insert fic for wattpad

[tomatotext]

and, look, I’m not complaining, not at all, but this is why it’s very important to be abundantly clear and specific with your Etsy witch.

1 boilerplate text, 7 author bios, 8 lede lines, 10 book + series descriptions, and 80 taglines later……… and i still have one work project to go tmrw but my brain is soup. gonna eat two french bread pizzas and drink this plastic jug of wine cocktail, and thus i’m sure Something Weird will happen with book 3 (working title: ‘dante’s stoner comedy’), and therefore i will be making progress ✌︎₊⁺☀︎₊⁺⋆
