#big fat sigh

Have you seen the trailer of Red White and Royal Blue? Its based on a best selling novel that is my most favourite. Ofcourse the book is better than the movie but you should watch the trailer!!!

Oh fuck me we got another Heartstopper situation.

Just because it's a gay romcom doesn't make it a BL!

I know, I know you wanna share a thing you love.

Putting aside the fact that I don't voluntarily watch anything in English anymore...

I appreciate that you want to share the love. Thank you for thinking of me!

And in order to not hurt your feelings, please know I'm glad you love this book and you maybe should stop reading this post at this juncture....

Because this is a BL blog with no impact on the book industry, so Imma slam that fucking book - not for what it is but for what it did.

Red White and Royal Blue is a perfectly serviceable romance novel if you like that kind of thing.

I don't.

A romance novel has to be different & unique & queer for me to enjoy it these day. RW&RB is none of those things. (Okay, it is kinda queer.)

There are

better romance novels,

better mm romance stories,

better rom coms,

better gay rom coms,

and better gay romances

out there.

And, frankly, there have been WELL before RW&RB came along with its very catchy cover and massive marketing budget to blow all the other books away.

Some of us have been reading mm since LoseID and the early days when it was m/m and we are over this kind of influencer sheep behavior.

From my antiquated perspective?

RW&RB represents what amounts to a traditional publishing corp jumping on a tiny bandwagon at the 11th hour like a massive gorilla, and then making a ton of money off of it, while they sunk that bandwagon into the mud with copycats.

RW&RB reads as a bog standard royal romance that someone decided to overwrite as gay to make it "edgy" and I intensely dislike everything about this.

The book is fine. What happened to the publishing industry around this book is decidedly not fine.

Like Heartstopper (or Bridgerton for that matter) I'm blaming this franchise for industry's mistakes and my own blatant biases, and because neither this book nor this show is gonna need my eyeballs or my platform's help, who tf cares?

So yeah... no I will not be watching it.

Not sorry at all.

because odds are Imma haffa point people at this for the next few months.

babe you haven’t been in my notifs recently…do you hate me.

You'd think that after two seasons of the main show and a spin-off series, people would know to TAG THE BLOODY SPOILERS. Especially if someone is live blogging or answering asks the day the show has come out, you will be constantly showing up on people's feeds. It's rude and inconsiderate. Tumblr's system to hide tags works well, and it blows my mind that people aren't using it when the only other way for people not to see you is to unfollow or block you.

will be changing my work schedule because working through the entire weekend is wrecking my personal fulfillment since the people i am able to hang out with are only available on the weekends! all work and no play is making jack an insane woman. but sadly this means i won’t get much interaction with my favorite coworker because every other day we work together she works another position and the day i will no longer be working is the only day that we actually do work together :((

It’s already 5pm and I was not productive today not even once. There are assignments waiting for me, unwatched shows, do the walk with the dog and need to take a shower but here I am still laying in bed and thinking about to take a nap

[seokgyuu]

i have a thesis to write but my brain is continuing to give me ideas for the enha fic i am writing…. maybe today is the day my creative juices finally don’t hate me????

[zelzelez]

spoke to i.s ex to ask if she had similar experiences with him and she was all in to say YES. HE IS BLOCKED. HE NEEDS TO STOP PUSHING AWAY HIS PAST BC HE’S CONSTANTLY PUSHING AWAY HIS FEELINGS WITH IT TOO. ITS NOT YOU.

hello late night , I am going to rant for a bit so excuse me. i have been seeing a lot of artwork of body types beyond the skinny slim tall -ish build, which is great! That’s wonderful !

But I’ve learned a lot of people don’t know what the hell “fat” is… “Normalize fat (blank)” and the artwork just gave them thighs + you can’t see thier ribs , that’s not fat, when the fat on character is depicted softly or squishy people pretend like they’re plus sized. .I see drawings of characters with big tits and their waist still dips in at the same width of the skinny card board cut out genshin character build get called ‘fat’, sometimes it is rather the comments that are like “I love fat bitches!!” On artwork of rather short and buff girls— or with broad shoulders or rectangular builds, they are not fat, you do not fuck with fat bitches.. The skinny build has been so horribly exaggerated that you can not comprehend a body type that isn’t slim as anything but fat…

[sugarpasteltmnt]

sometimes. part of the creative process is needing to admit that the chapter you've been working on for weeks is just not going to work out, and you should start from scratch again

Hi pups and mutts-

I’m going to be taking a bit of a hiatus. Just wanted to share that I’ve been going through a bit of a rough patch, and I find myself a little unhealthily obsessed with being on here. I need to take a bit of a break and focus on my health <3

I’ll be back soon, but until then bark bark bark. And! Ruff ruff ruff. Chase your tails for me.

i would say good night but it’s not good because there’s no guy to cuddle up with while he whispers sweet compliments in my ear and kisses my forehead and cheeks softly to help me fall asleep
