anton will replace the emotional intimacy and vulnerability required for the consolidation and depth of a relationship with ANYTHING
this could've been an opportunity for them to finally be tender and honest about their feelings, despite and with the overwhelming, out of control terror. i want to sleep with you again could've so easily been i want to touch you again, i want to hear that laugh again, i want you with me
me when i miss three seasons for a window into intimacy and now have to toss in bullshit like look at him with his mother isn't he so sweet and he's an artist to trick the readers into a false sense of knowing him 😂
me when i can't write and have to allude to a character we've known for three seasons having this completely different, secret side we can only see in shadows and traces in the future to avoid the work needed to deepen what's been shown from the start 😂😂😂 are you inventing something @antonatri
so this was me, four months ago, making an entire prediction from one single screenshot bc i suspected neon genesis evangelion lines of connections/ plagiarism/ inspo happening in advent no. 3:
advent no. 3, this very update, confirming not only everything i predicted but also in that exact same fucking order:
i am so fucking sick and tired of this bullshit. first aleksandra with hsr and now anton with an3?
the next rc author in line with nge to make a mediocre book that somehow still claims top ten:
"The fandom seriously needs to learn how to separate fiction from reality. Xander can beat down Raina as many times as it takes he’s still just a fictional character in a visual novel. Raina’s got a foul mouth, and characters like her should be thrashed until they learn their lesson. And hey, newsflash: Raina is fictional too... how did I not realize that sooner?
You guys read into the MCs' hopes, dreams, and thoughts, but please remember: IT’S ALL FICTION. If the magic in these stories were real, we’d have cured cancer by now. This reminds me of all that drama surrounding Amen,the antis versus the protectors of Remy’s weird albino. At the end of the day, the story ends and that's it. It seems like the RC fandom and blurring the lines of fiction go hand in hand."
And here’s a list of Romance Club characters that I think are birdbrains.
⚠️Again, if your faves are in here, my bad. This is SATIRE(somewhat). We’ve all had moments where we’ve cawed a few times for people. Me included. My great flight of 2024 still haunts me sometimes 💔💔💔⚠️
For those in the back that don't know, a birdbrain, originally an English slang term, in AAVE(African American Vernacular English) and ebonics, it is someone that is easily manipulated, tolerating the abuse and mistreatment they get from anyone, whether in romantic relationships or friendships. They’ll even go as far as to do everything to keep the other person. The term is used for both men and women but most people use it to refer to people who act pick-meish or male-centred.
⚠️Disclaimer: Cheating/Jealousy situations where MCs romance multiple love interests at once doesn't count because the characters will act a fool to keep the MC anyway. This list is just for poly or monogamous relationship dynamics in the books⚠️
Anyway, let’s go!
1. Vicky- Heaven’s Secret Universe
Starting off strong with the leader of the flock.
No matter what romance path you take, the male love interests have treated her like shit to SOME degree and she’ll still stick by ‘em(Alice will pay dearly for this blatant display of tomfuckery and misogyny). This is why we love Mimi. The realest and the baddest. But Alice doesn't care for the WLW players.
On Malbonte’s path, he has ripped off her wings(in HS1) and has told her time and time again that he’d kill all her friends and sacrifice her if needed for his goals AND has acted on it and will STILL act on it.
On War’s path, he refers to Vicky as Plague’s pet and barely acknowledges her at all before Plague gives her the idea to seduce him.
On Astaroth’s path, if you romanced Malbonte in HS1, he’ll slutshame her, and I quote “spreading your legs for Malbonte”. Whole time, he just wanted a turn. Oh okay.
On Hunger’s path, he keeps her isolated and a prisoner in a white room for SEVERAL DAYS, not only out of curiosity as to why his powers don't affect her but just blatant obsession(Typing this with tears in my eyes as a Hunger romancer)
Like she literally CAN’T WIN 💔💔
Vicky’s even a bird for her own MOTHER. That’s genuine rock bottom bro 💀. Like, I get it, and I understand her deeply (mommy issues aha 😛) but at one point, you have to realise that good sis wasn't fucking with you. You called out to her and she ignored you. JUST GO TO THE BENCH PLEASEEEE. Rebecca switched up on her day ones for power 💔
These are the few I know off the top of my head, but you get the idea. I kid you not, I used to be a HUGE Malbonte girl but seeing the way he was moving in HS3, I had to restart the book and HS2 to romance Hunger because your girl was TIRED 💀.
Holy paragraph oml. I’m so sorry. To the next character!
2. Fencio- Heaven’s Secret Universe
Second in command 💀🙏🏾
He really thought Rebecca was gonna let him hit just because he helped her a lil bit and didn't marginalise her for being unclaimed. Good sis didn't even owe him SHIT. He had no idea she was gonna play in his face. What did Megan Thee Stallion say? “Bitches is bitter they thought it was sweet. All of a sudden they vegan, they don’t want beef” Yeah 🤏🏾🤏🏾🤏🏾🤏🏾
That was actual feminism.
Alice has many flaws as a writer, but she ate that lil one thang with Rebecca.
Fencio crashed out about it so bad, he went to go on to be the reason that Vicky died and Malbonte got revived. Is it ever that deep? 💀
3. Cain- Heaven’s Secret Universe
Yes, Cain. That’s why he has wings 🤷🏾♀️
That's my bestie, don't get me wrong. I’m hella maternal about him, but if you’re romancing him and Abel at the same time, Lane stay PLAYINNNGGGGG in his face.
But, he’s right where he wants to be, though, and honestly— that’s growth 🌱. (Bye, I’m corny 💀)
This man will get jealous, want exclusivity, etc etc, but he won’t call it off. Oh okay.
4. Ingegerd, The High Priestess- And The Haze Will Take Us
A crow, if you will
Did all that shit for the gods, killing Vereya, killing her OWN sister, sacrificing her OWN granddaughter, making animal sacrifices, causing insecurity among the villagers(I’m finna be 40 before this list finishes) just for the sky dadas and mamas to watch it all unfold looking like this:
I HATE this old lady so fucking much
All those sacrifices just for them to STILL not gaf. Ingy, you’re fading.
5. Raina(On Xander’s Path)- Advent No 3
“He beats me, sees me as a toy and calls me misogynistic slurs, but it's okay because I'm physically and sexually attracted to him and he has mommy issues” Oh okay.
(Xander fans don't kill me. I just like bashing this man💔💔)
Not just Xander, though, with Zane too(As a Zane girlie myself). She tweets at most and that’s okay. That’s still my wife 🤞🏾❤️.
6. Eragon- Heaven’s Secret Universe
Oh, Shepha’s his dadaman.
He gives such “I know where home is” mentality 💀.
Yeah, you’re the reason for the segregation of Angels and Demons and why I still uphold said segregation in my actions and words even after Malbonte and Vicky won the fight, and you’re hella complacent in the happenings of your creations and only react after one of them dies or gets injured, and you handled the existence of Malbonte so poorly that it led to your demise, and you’re basically the reason for the current Heaven’s Secret Timeline, and you and your bastard brother defying the Mother of Life led to the creation of the Horsemen and the reason I co-formed the resistance group in the first place, but Praise Shepha! Yay!
Someone kill this man off before I get really angry. Get Eragon tf off my screen.
7. Lily- Waterlily
Gets jealous when Riley talks to the Love Interests. Is also the reason the Love Interests are my friends/I have a crush on them. Oh okay.
She needs to run my fade.
I’d rather die than let you haunt me and take my white-collar, submissive white boyfriend, Declan away from me, bitch. Don’t even. And hands off Luna too, hoe. That's my platonic girlfriend. You’re ruining my black girl solidarity(Because I picked the African American Riley. I WILL be black in every game I play, thangya). Just go ahead and call me nigga while you’re at it.
8. Austie- Heaven’s Secret Universe
Now, I don't know much about Austie but I did know that both Malbonte and Lucifer played in her face and she got mad when they both ended up with Vicky 💀.
I do feel bad for her because she’s just a girl looking for love(And power, ahem 👀), but my god she was really squaking in those books 💀🙏🏾.
9. Plague- Heaven’s Secret 2
Finishing off strong and bittersweet with Plague. All the things she did, she did not only for power, but to earn the favour of the Mother of Life and the respect of her brothers. All of them, even the Mother herself saw her as the weakest link and constantly demeaned her which has greatly affected her.
It's a shame that she was killed by her own brother and at a point when she was finding love in Kira.
Don’t get me wrong, Plague is a HORRIBLE, horrible person(And y'all asking Alice to make her a Love Insterest???) but she’s a victim to the system and expectations imposed on her as much as Malbonte was.
