#but god i am so obsessed with romance

[oswalish]

i am but a simple homosexual. i wanna see men whimpering. that’s all.

[weepingalaxy]

my attempt at mimicking the style kinda grew out of control, oops. anyway, i like that new farm sim game

Amateur Hour but I gotta outsource this. Aromantics. Heed my call. What is "romantic" love to a non-believer?

Bonus Round if you're not entirely ace -- does experiencing any amount of sexual attraction influence your answer? Also acknowledging that both aro/ace identities exist on a spectrum. Believe me. I am deeply familiar... with so many kinds of spectrums........... 🧍

Also if this breaches containment It's Not That Serious........... just a personal question. For a friend. Me 🙂‍↕️

haha ha ha

totally did not think about astarion talking to halsin after the events of above the vaulted sky and like

imagine halsin telling him how he couldn't save mal either??? how, all those years back, he also sat there, powerless, trying to accept the fact that the woman he loved was dying and there was nothing he could do about it? ? ?

totally normal about this tonight wdym

EMPATHY GLAMORIZATION IS NOT ABOUT EMPATHY BUT SUPERIORITY TORWARDS APATHETIC PEOPLE BIGOTRY TORWARDS THEM TYPICAL BIGOT EVIL. SIMPLE AS THAT. IF YOU SEE THEM AS LEFTIST YOU'RE NO LEFTIST YOURSELF. HORRIBLE. THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE ONLY EMPATHY AND BAD TO THINK EVERYTHING YOU DO IS SUCH ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE CLEARLY BEING APATHETIC IF ANYTHING WHEN THEY DO THIS...

COMES TO SHOW BIGOTRY TORWARDS CRAZY AND DISABLED PEOPLE ASWELL AS PARAPHILIA PEOPLE ISN'T TAKEN AT ALL THE SAME AS SEXISM RACISM AND QUEERPHOBIA... OR PERHAPS... LIKELY... THEY ARE ALL THE BIGOTED THINGS EVIL AND TAKE NONE THAT SERIOUSLY... BELITTLING DOWN THEIR PAIN AND DAMAGE...

I ship Brosca and Leliana so much. Brosca who has been treated as worthless all her life x Leliana who feels like an outcast because she believes all the world can be beautiful. Brosca who was told those she worships would reject her and Leliana who was told the way she worships is wrong finding each other and finding acceptance in each other. Brosca who learns to worship Leliana herself for the beauty they see through her eyes and Leliana who finds faith and guidance in a lover who never doubts the power of their love and promises to be there even if her god turns from her. The promise these two share, both understanding pain and loneliness and betrayal they cannot express in any way other than devotion and who choose to devote their hearts to each other and promise to make the world worthy of the one they love.

"I may not worship your god but I do worship his creation - I worship you."

Can you share some book recs? I’m a former book lover trying to get back into things after years of burnout.

HELLO FORMER BOOK LOVER (who is trying to get back into reading!!) You have come to the right place! Your girl used to be a professional bookseller (I literally worked at a bookstore for a year lol) I just wanted to give a little PSA though that these are books that *I've* read and enjoyed this year, and I also know that they aren't for everyone - also I read some dark fucked up shit so make sure to check out those trigger warnings if something does peek your interest! If this *isn't* what you are looking for please let me know what kind of books you DO like and I can give you more tailored recommendations! Without further ado:

Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

This is a dark academia one that has had me in a choke hold - absolutely obsessed with it and it's sequel Hell Bent (maybe check trigger warnings? There is one questionable scene that caught a friend of mine off guard)

Gild by Raven Kennedy

This series is a dark romance retelling of the story of King Midas. They are not *good* necessarily but I was absolutely captivated and loved every second - read the trigger warnings though

Legacy of God's Series by Rina Kent

Absolutely obsessed with this one. God of Malice which is the first book is the weakest but is still really good. God of Fury is an M/M one featuring my favorite previously side character and I literally had to take walks around my house going !!! because I enjoyed it so much. VERY dark though, like proceed with caution. I would probably low key get cancelled if I wrote fic like this book lol

A Fate Inked in Blood by Danielle L. Jensen

VIKINGS! FANTASY! FORBIDDEN ROMANCE. This one was fun and I really enjoyed it - if you like romantasy give it a shot!

Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli

This YA fantasy had me in an absolute choke hold and I am not so patiently waiting for the sequel I didn't see the twists coming and there was actually some more adult subject matter that surprised me a little since it was a YA novel

The Art Thief by Michael Finkel

This was a nonfiction book that I become obsessed with. It inspired me to rewatch all of White Collar and like rekickstarted my obsession with art history. The story is super captivating and what makes it even more wild is that its TRUE

Even If It Breaks Your Heart by Erin Hahn

A YA romance that is super sweet while also being heavy? I loved the two main characters - if you like ATKH it takes place on a ranch

Whistleblower by Kay Cove

Touch her and die - an assassin work place romance that I LOVED

The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

SUPER LONG but also super good fantasy novel - the main relationship in it is a lesbian one which no one told me about so I resisted reading it for way longer than I would have

Let me know if any of these catch your fancy - if not let me know your vibe and I assure you I have more. Books are just so AH I love them. I just started Of Darkness and Ruination by Rachel Fallon and I am very excited about it - it has come highly recommended to me. I hope you are having a wonderful Monday and a great rest of your week! Happy reading!!

Listen, am I happy that you now get to rule the world with your SO and be evil together? Of course, evil couple takeover for astarion and minthy romancers, especially when they egged you on to do so, makes much more sense. However do I miss the tragedy of a characters who thought they were finally free and powerful being ultimately betrayed by the one they loved? Having thier love become corrupted and warped into something cruel as thier lover perpetuates thier own cycle of violence and abuse? Yes absolutely

Also yes I know this change is old but I've been busy ok

[belligerentbagel]

my chemical romance plays in twelve minutes 

adding my quiet contribution towards manifesting another Gender tonight 

[prismbearer]

Thinking about the soft scene with Lae'zel where she might kill you and everyone in camp to spare the collective the indignity and loss of self in being transformed against their will into mindflayers.
