What crazy rabbit hole have I just fallen into? 👀

I didn’t know what I subjected myself to when I clicked on a book on Goodreads because it kept suggesting to me, no matter what I did. I haven’t even heard about Nina Pennacchi’s name before, and Lemonade didn’t ring a bell either. Yet I inhaled the book in less than a week (it was more than 1000 pages on my Kindle), I re-read certain parts, and somehow managed to translate Captain Swing with AI (I hate AI but I was desperate) into a readable copy. There are still too many inconsistencies to be easy to read, but beggars can’t be choosers.

But what magic has she done with Slave For Revenge? Thank god it’s already translated, and let me tell you, I am hooked. They said it’s a sexual fantasy first and foremost, so I didn’t expect this good writing.

Sigh. I’ve always had a soft spot for violent and badass heroes, and so far Nina Pennacchi has done the greatest job with them. I just drink up everything she has written.

I’ve always loved romantic writers who push their boundaries, but never have seen this great work with this dedication and quality.

I just love it.

(She’s written the Slave books by the penname Ann Owen.)

hey fish! i was wondering if you have any recommendations for the portrayals of erik that are more on the sweet or tender side of the spectrum? or especially tender moments some actors have done? thanks!

Yeah sure! These are the actors who come to mind offhand.

Earl Carpenter (with Rachel Barrell)

Ted Keegan (with Emilie Kouatchou)

Josh Piterman (with Kelly Mathieson)

And the OG Michael Crawford, but I would actually direct you to this audio clip for him.

And here are some other tender moments that I like!

James Gant (with Holly-Anne Hull)

John Owen-Jones (with Celia Graham)

Laird Mackintosh

Saulo Vasconcelos (with Irasema Terrazas)

Michael Nicholson (with Olivia Safe)

Jeremy Stolle (with Samantha Hill)

Also this audio of Greg Mills

(Do most of my favorite tender moments involve hair and/or hands? MAYBE SO)

EDIT: This is not meant to be an exhaustive list! Please feel free to add your own!

i'm doing a BTVS rewatch, currently on s1ep5 and oh my godddd

the first guy Buffy's ever gone on a date with or kissed: loves poetry, has a little hostility standoff with Angel, a tad morbid and excited to sneak into a funeral home, and says at the end of the episode "I didn't know nearly getting killed would make me feel so alive!" like...

girl you have a TYPE!!

*SPOILERS AHEAD* if you want to read books by Nina Pennacchi and/or Ann Owen (her pen name), skip this post

I've read spoilers and still didn't notice at first, and I forget all the time, that Stephen Weymouth (Slave for Revenge) is homosexual and in love with Guy Spencer.

Realization before the end only came the second time, when I read the paperback. I was reading about the physical appearance of Guy, when I shook up: Waaait a minute, whose POV is that?! (Like I said I always forget about Steve's sexuality.) But then I was like Why is a guy giving a DETAILED description of another guy's half-naked body? Oh, yeah, because he's gay.

One of the first things Guy says to him is (ignore the harsh language, but I think that's also intentional - because, yeah, she didn't want to be too direct) - while they are, or were boxing:

Which is the case exactly. Steve wants him, because he's gay, and Guy won't reciprocate, this, at least, because he's heterosexual.

Also, I'll like to write about Nina's preference for Dull Boys(™). I mean Adam (Captain Swing) and Jacopo (The Prisoner in the Tower) are sharp as a knife. Still, Guy's and Christopher Davenport's (Lemonade) intelligence (especially their self-understanding) leaves much to be desired.

They both can't recognize love or think altogether to be other feelings. Christopher, in the end, realizes this, while Guy never does:

I lol'd so hard at this. Guy, sweety, that's not hate.

And Guy still doesn't realize this.

In Lemonade (as Nina Pennacchi), even Anna starts to suspect Christopher is in love with her, while he horribly mistreats her, and she basically still thinks he's an ogre.

Christopher is madly in love with her wife, from the get-go, but he doesn't know how to show his feelings, he just knows the language of revenge, manipulation and cruelness:

I'm not saying he didn't know how to be gentle, it is clear, that he is capable of it, but in the beginning, he doesn't recognize LOVE, just like Guy, only in the end (unlike Guy):

God... and I love Nina Pennacchi (or Ann Owen).
