Confession:

"I love cain but I'm dropping HSR. the homophobia and woman-hating is unacceptable."

[uselessgay10101]

Ohhhhh so THATS what they changedddd- (ugh it's bad but good...)

Yeah totally agree with you on the "THERE'S A FUCKING APOCALYPSE BRO I DON'T THINK ME KISSING A GIRL WILL MAKE THINGS WORSE-!"

But I understand how Alek probably wants to write Anna off as (Definitely needs more bc it's shit-)

The idea that "it's wrong" isn't really a religious thing as much as you would expect. I say this as someone who didn't really do the "go to church every sunday" or "pray every night" type of thing but I DID have the typical religious household in a Mexican family. I didn't get told "you'll go yo hell" or "God doesn't love you bc your a child of satan-"

No thankfully none of that. But did get indirect signals.

An eyeroll, a groan, a simple comment, or a disgusted expression is ENOUGH for not only internalized homophobia to be developed but fear of acceptance

Which is what I think Anna is going through. It is the stage of acceptance. In which one not only accepts one's self but the fact that there will be people against you for the sole fact of BEING gay. And that THAT won't stop you from being your gay self (is it badly written and makes me want to cry with how bad it is sometimes? Yes but that's another thing-)

Anna isn't in a religious household or constantly being told "being gay is a bad so....no [smack]"

...But she kinda is. Bc that's probably what's going through her head at the slightest interaction with Lane. I can FEEL her internal anxiety and rage at not only Lane but in herself because "friends don't....FEEL things for friends"

"Your mind is not only your permanent home but also your most present one." - Uselessgay 2025 :))

Also we all know Anna treasures Dimitri above almost everything right? She wants his approval and praise and it stems from her want and need for approval from her own FATHER

And from what I've read it's not likely Dimitri is too fond of the idea that his sister is 💅💅💅

From a nasty disgusted look to acting cold and uncaring to her when she need reassurance

That to someone who constantly seeks the approval from those she loves is soul crushing. it's not a simple pain in your chest but something that sticks to you like unactivated slime! It's something you keeps it's claws in a death grip when hugging you and that u remember unconsciously

Now pair that with one's unintentional internalized homophobia and it's enough to not only be cruel to yourself but to whoever one likes in a gay way

The kiss scene in my mind was perfect. (As perfect as bad writing can get but...it's not BAAAD! (She could use a little more experience in writing such scenes))

The kiss and the scene leading up to it wasn't soft nor loving. It's was angry and desperate.

You're allowed to disagree bc I know what I'm saying is infuriating to ppl who just want Anna to stop being so...[wild gestures]

But it's real. It's fucking infuriating that only wlw have to deal with this shit when the straights are off smooching and having sex in the first 💎 diamond 💎 scene

But It's really is only something that straight people could never understand. I know it's hard to live in a time where wlw players are more accepted than ever but still [gestures wildly again]

Anna's route.....isn't BAD nor is it GOOD but it is real in the sense that it give the real experience OF being gay in an otherwise unaccepting environment

Again it's stupid and heartbreaking that's its ONLY wlw but wlw is not straight and it never will be (please don't take that as an insult! I mean that in a "agree to disagree" way and a "appreciate being you" type-pa way)

--- And omg this is so long- sorry I just want everyone to know I'm not COMPLETELY crazy in justifying the route.. I see the good in the bad and willing to ask questions...I'm not being mean I swear- :')

I haven’t caught up to Anna’s route yet on my slot but lowkey what was that…

Apparently there’s variations depending on VoG or WoD/ compassion/no compassion etc and I’ve seen ss for one path only so far.

I just don’t get why Anna, who has so far been presented as being averse to looking at women romantically say something like this ? It feels ooc almost idk. You could argue that she’s opening up slowly, and is still in denial over her feelings and/or sexuality and this was a way to open that avenue but it doesn’t feel right to me idk why.

using the word ‘recoiled’ and then saying she wanted to ‘wash herself’ is genuinely crazy bye. look, I would also recoil if someone kissed me outta nowhere (doubly so if I was struggling with my sexuality) but ‘wash herself off’ IS SO INSANE???? as if it’s a dirty act. and before anyone says anything, I know there are people have repressed desires; they can’t come to terms with themselves being attracted to the same gender and they could potentially feel that way. but oh my god, there has been no nuance in the way this has been handled. no deep religious trauma that could’ve molded her this way, nothing that could even potentially explain why Anna would see same sex relationships and attraction the way she does. (someone correct me if I’m wrong pls it’s been ages since I played my Anna route)

Lada and Tata’s budding relationship has been handled so much better. There’s questions from both and you can see they’re both new to this; Lada even questions herself if ‘it’s okay’ to feel that way but it makes her feel happy so she does what her heart tells her to. What kinda reasoning is it that an apocalypse can happen but heaven forbid u wanna kiss a girl

There were so many ways to write a kiss scene between them. Idk if I’m overthinking or if anyone else felt the same way

ITS SO WEIRD. this woman hates lesbians and bisexual players bruh i cannot.

(also hearing that fucking Boris appears today in a vision made me crash the fuck out)

If Romance Club MCs wrote an “Author's Notes” on AO3

[uselessgay10101]

Honestly fair bc it's so like....WHY?! PEOPLE ARE DYING GREG (not our greg NC I love him) I DON'T THINK ME BEING GAY WILL KILL ANYONE MORE THAN BEING RIPPED APART BY AN ABOMINATION!!!

If I didn't over analyze and sympathize with Anna so much I'd 110% be crying my eyes out in anger

i wanted to hate it so much bc i was like "oh you hate it? ok guess ill see why- omg I love it wtf- wait no I hate it- oh but anna- no I hat- I love it. I love you Anna please forgive me for any bad thing-"

.....it's was...something lmafo

As much I love Anna I'm thinking to just drop "Heaven's secret requiem" I mean, I'm a WLW and the writer clearly not only doesn't care about us but also treats sapphic relationships with homophobia. Anna's disgusted reaction to Lane's kiss and Kira's death were the straws that broke the camel's back for me. In the last update I waited for DR to play and in this one I don't even have the desire to play anymore And nothing will change, since the book is the 1st in popularity, people don't care about that since their precious white male LI are treated fairly Just venting a bit

What were you saying again?

Not a puppy huh?

Born to be a puppy

Forced to be a general 🙏

Lane from Heaven's secret: requiem. Romance club game.

[heartofarcanum]

Cain’s 100 diamond scene might not have had sex, but it did have:

Him taking pleasure in defiling her while there was an imprint of a cross pressed into her back

Her thinking of him as her god while he’s choking her

Him making her a halo with his own angelic feather

The implication that for them: a corrupted heart = obsession = true love

Which, really, isn’t that better than sex anyway?

[ratanslily]

i ❤️ big boobed men

[romanceclub-confessionss]

Confession:

1) "I'm not feeling Sasha's direction with making Anhea & Pileon a thing. I'd rather take Anhea x Anna and Lester x Noah. I'd also like Dmitry x Yan and Cain x Pileon to be a thing if we're not going for Cain, Dmitry, or Yan."

2) "I'm not here for Pileon and Anhea to be a couple. She's better off solo."

[lady-pawaki]

Found this meme on pinterest & I just had to show it here.

I would turn into a infected if it meant that Lane will kiss me too, so no judgement from my side.

[hsrlanedefencesquad]

Cain and lane art from telegram!!!

They're so cute 🥰🥹 I'm absolutely in love with them

[liittleemiixeer]

every passing day, I thank God for rc making greg's eyes dark brown and not garorade blue or plutonium green

like look at him!!!! so gorgeous 😍

[noelle-v]

I can't find the words to express how pleased I am with this scene 😍✨

If the General allowed it, if he reached out to me, I would open my arms and accept him entirely. I would bury my hands in his hair, wrap my legs around his torso, and reach inside, becoming the air he breathed...

[exttremis]

OK OK I NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS

lane getting a tiny glimpse of her memories during the fire in the final episode made me think of something from season one that i’d totally ignored before because it didn’t seem to make much sense or mean anything...

yeah, i'm talking about that moment when cain burns a couple of useless books with the dumb excuse of "keeping lane warm"

the fact that from the very beginning, in indirect ways like this (or more direct ones, like at the start of episode two when he asks if she remembered something, "me for instance?"), cain has been so focused on lane and her memories. i usually hate the amnesia trope, but i actually think it’s really well-written here ?? it works so well with their dynamic and adds that extra layer of melancholy to the angel’s character. i love how we were all surprised the first time we got a hint that they knew each other before (i think it was halfway through season one), because rereading the story, you can see the clues were always there in the small details.

so... can we assume that whatever tragedy separated these two involved fire somehow?
