which is worse to you: the same hawaiian rolls packaged abs mandude or the fake, weird photoshop 3d model dudes from some of the erotic Ellora's Cave books?

honestly, it’s the hawaiian roll abs that are worse to me. I mean yeah, we can laugh at the weird cgi stuff but at least there, there might be a chance for something that’s creative and fits the book nicely.

I always feel like book covers that are just naked torsos completely misjudge what I want out of most romance novels. Sexiness is great, don’t get me wrong, but imo it’s a lot sexier when you have some mystery.

Like, 100% honesty time, I picked up this one bc of the cover:

Like yeah, there’s still more exposed chest than most people probably would’ve had out in public, but he’s like 90% clothed and it’s just a hint?? which is so much better??

Not to mention I just...love historical costumes of so many eras, and when you take that away from the cover it just makes me sad.

Ok, so this super random but I could not pass up on this. My roommate was watching this anime, Blood Blockade Battlefront while we ate dinner. I looked up at one point and this one character, Deldro Brody, comes across the screen and I legit just screamed, “IT’S VOIDSTER” and now cannot unsee him. XD

Wow...that is an amazing likeness. XD G is not going to be pleased that his husband is now invading anime timelines.

I hope little Midnight is ok, too. I'll send good vibes with hopes that she returns to you safe. I know the feeling when your cat decides to up and disappear for a while(Sylar's an asshole and I found him in a tree last time he escaped the house). The kitty knows you're a good home and a good human that takes care of her to the best of your ability when your folks aren't terrorizing them. *hugs* I'm sure she'll turn back up soon.

Hey, thank you! I hope she’ll come back soon too. I’m constantly calling for her and looking out my window. I hope my neighbor didn’t do anything, because she hated these cats the moment they came into being as kittens months ago. Poor Midnight wasn’t feeling well, I should have forced her to stay inside until she got better, but she lets me know she wants out...by wrecking everything near the door. Thank you, again!

what is the worst romance novel you've come across? Could you even finish it? What exactly is your synopsis of the perfect romance novel for you?

Oh god, how do I even choose? There were so many bad ones.

I’d have to say one that I still really loathe is Pushing 30 by Whitney Gaskell. It’s a may-december romance between an absolutely awful younger woman whose train of thought when it comes to her life or other women is nothing but catty stereotypes of women, and a handsome older newscaster who was actually?? pretty swoonworthy?? The leading lady’s internal dialogue was just awful, including things like:

The check came, and I put up a weak protest when Ted took it. This is something that we women do–we insist that it’s our turn to treat, all the while knowing full well that if the man made the faux pas of passing us the bill, it would be the death knell to the burgeoning relationship.

and other hits like:

No, no, no, I thought. If there’s one thing a woman should learn by the time she leaves her teens behind her, it’s that you never, ever call a man. Maybe occasionally, of course, if he calls you first and you’re just returning the message. But you never just out of the blue initiate a call.

and forgotten b-sides like:

I placed the bottle down on the coffee table, and as I set down the wineglasses, Ted took the bottle and corkscrew in hand and expertly pulled the cork out. I suppose since it was my apartment I should have been offended as a feminist that he would take over the bottle opening, but actually I found it quite sexy.

Yeah, I still really fucking hate that book.

I think my ideal romance novel would be a may/december paranormal story with an older monster-type character and a younger human woman they fall in love with. A plus-sized heroine who doesn’t have to mope about her weight all the time, and a monster character who isn’t a complete fucking creep would be absolutely perfect.

that’s so rude to everyone participating. :/

Yeah I know! The mod is putting everyone in the same rough age groups to avoid a situation where a minor asks an adult for porn. But then they have to figure out what to do with the people that asked for porn, because it was stated to be a SFW event. But people went ahead and put in porn requests anyway.

Never, EVER draw or write porn for a minor. You can get arrested for that shit and kids have been known to blackmail people over it by threatening to call the feds. Just don’t. If a minor keeps insisting on it, block them.
