Every now and then, I come across posts about how blonde mmc's should be banned because, apparantly, nobody wants that. We're in an era of dark-haired shadow daddies mmcs.
And I'm just like .... can we leave those guys in contemporary romance books, please. The basic bitchification of male characters in Fantasy, or more specifically, the Romantasy genre, is appalling.
We can have the most ethereal or whimsical descriptions of characters, but instead, the vast majority of people seem to want guys you can find at the mall!
The way this negativity around blondes have sky rocketed in recent times, I fear we might be facing a situation where authors are afraid to write such characters. This makes me so sad because my type kinda looks like this:
- Tamlin (loml)
- Thranduil
- Lucius
- Geralt
- Lestat
- Thor
- Prince Nuada
- Alucard (my newest love)
... yeah, you see a pattern there! And I'm not saying no to dark-haired mmcs, but give me the Aragorn types! Or let's go wild and have green hair or blue or pink. Literally anything!
If anyone has any recent book recs of mmcs that deviate from the new norm, drop them in the comments!
#i am annoyed 😒#the herding of book character looks abd even powers by booktok or bookstagram is so frustrating#dark haired mmcs combined with the description of shadow daddies arggghhhh#so you can dim the lights... that dont impress me much 🙄#pro tamlin#i guess 🤷♀️#blondes do it better 😌#LONG HAIRED BLONDES ESPECIALLY!!!#🫠🫠🫠#also there was a clickbate comment asking about blondes like Tamlin#my eye started glitching and now im here#i dont ever learn my lesson when it comes to comments - dont ever look at it! 😭
