at least fast and furious provides eyecandy

not my type of guys but take it with a pinch of salt since my type of men corresponds more to Wiillem Dafoe or Paul Dano. xD  Technically the fancontent creators of the respective YA andoms are without doubt highly taleted, and I saw gorgeous creations out of them. It’s just that the original content irks me on many level of being to be bear only this much of paper thin writing quality.

At a certian level I understand the unfairness how male-targeted media is given a pass that it’s mindless entertainement, and women-targeted entertainement is trashed mercilessly, on the other hand I’m also prone to abrasive reactions towards latter content because just because it’s written by women it’s no indicator that it has better quality. I’m supposed to like it because it’s expected to like romance as a women? But no? Most of the time I don’t care that to characters with the personality of stale toast have raging hormoes for each other and consider it undying love? How? Bar the fact that I read a lot of officially published by-women-for-women-content that was stuck in a genderrole understanding rivaling the one of Zack Snyder (”Not like other girls but hot by looks, by character either she’s an meotionless fighting machine, or a naive sweetheart only out for men...). But women writing women badly is not my type of fun, and then the general issue of bad writing and blaring logic gaps

All in all, I dislike F&F (The camera and editiog in tokyo drift... I don’t like F&F but at least make the drifting scenes cool, not a constant distant front ankle!) as much as Outlander (how is it relevant that Claire is from the 1940s when nothing of her behavior is relevant to the time? She could be equally the stereotypical hsitorical fiction gal who magically is more emancipated than the rest of her peers, none of her behavior expresses he being a woman of her time.)

Basic competent writing, that is missing in the entire conteporary romantasy!YA sectiona dn still the authors make money. Not even the uncreative content is the probem, the lack of skill...! And then one book costs 30€ for boredom and no story cohesion? I don’t get how the market let’s this happen. I see all the issues about “problematic” reapeat over and over whereas I think the most glaring issue is people actually accepting an entire genre burdend with a writing that many fanfiction writers can overtrump easily. No surprise romances get so often dunked on if the writers make money of the most unlikable characters fiding themselves in stories full of plotholes, nothing happening, and women only existing in catergories of “heroine”, “coniving love rival bitch, and “supportive always-happy-bff”... it’s tiring that a genre dominated by women can’t do better. Not to rpove it, the sexist burden will always exist, but that it can’t prove to itself that it’s capable of good writing - epspeciall if girls and women actually do enjoy reading more than just the same bland story in different coveres over and over again.

Family Ties

By Stephie Walls

Publication Date: June 21, 2018 Genre: Contemporary Romance

Synopsis:

With a history like ours, the meaning of the word family tended to tangle into something unrecognizable. DNA and bloodlines didn’t tie us together, and neither did our last names. Various shades of grey blurred the branches of our twisted family tree.

I wasn’t her brother. They weren’t my parents. Not that it mattered…

She was off limits.

Portia was my friend. Then my foster sister. And she’d always be the love of my life.
