Okay, so Hulu has this show called “Harlots,” which has

 - Historical costumes, yum

 - Prostitution treated like an actual profession, and women are complex and well-rounded??????

 - Everyone important is a woman, it’s completely woman-centric

 - It’s ACTUALLY historically accurate in that black people exist in England holy shit

 - Full of absolute joyous Easter Eggs for people who know their history

 - The intrigue is just bursting at the seams, it’s like Game of Thrones with brothels

 - Also, it caused me to make this dumb macro

Bookish Weaknesses

Innocent Cinnamon roll characters 

 Sassy villains 

 Faery books (A Court of Thorns and Roses, The Cruel Prince, An Enchantment of Ravens) 

 Bad guy love interest 

 Badass female characters in dresses

Nerdy female characters

Adorable, awkward but still manly male characters

Witty humor

Humorous writing style (ex. Demons at Deadnight and Obsidian)

Kickass monsters 

Characters I have stuff in common with

Male character knows he’s end game for female character but said female character is fighting it and this just amuses male character 

Tomboy female character who still likes girly things

Mates

Beautiful covers

Characters with compassion

Main female characters with brown, curly hair

Books with maps

Magical worlds

An intense, passionate, earth shattering romantic love that the world has never seen

Romance novel: But will he EVER love her back?
