#it’s really more like a rom com

[mollywog]

Six(ish) Sentence Sunday

I’ve been trying to work out a concept for a witchy one-shot and I think I’ve finally have something to write… now I need to flesh it out..

“You’re right Prim, He’s cute!” Madge proclaims, eyes fixed on her gazing ball.

A blush creeps across Katniss’s cheeks; luckily the pair of blonds perched in the corner of her room take no notice, too engrossed in the image in the orb. Katniss had refused to check in on her date, but her friend has no such qualms; Neither does her traitorous sister who had provided Madge the necessary information to spy on Peeta.

“He cooks too,” Prim squeals. “It looks like he’s packing a picnic!”

Madge catches Katniss’s eyes reflected in the vanity mirror, “and you’re really certain you want to sabotage your date?”

I know Lezah is dead. I KNOW. But her last name is Sllew and she SLAYS. I want to give her apple juice and trail mix with extra raisins in it as a snack break from breaking convention regulations

they really weren't kidding about the rom-com vibes in this season.

[tennessoui]

did my annual christmas love actually rewatch and emma thompson's line to alan rickman after she confronts him for cheating on her and he says "i've been such a fool" and she says 'but you've made the life i lead look foolish too"

made me think of how i imagine obi-wan would feel if anakin came clean about his marriage to him while still carrying on pretending to be a jedi while flagrantly disregarding aspects of the code that obi-wan has personally always struggled and pushed himself to adhere to despite the heartache it's given him -- meanwhile anakin sees no problem being both a jedi and married/attached

I get why people don't like the "list of tropes" method of recommending/advertising/describing a novel, but it's weird to me that it's so popular to say "this tells me nothing about the plot" when the recc/blurb/whatever contains things like "enemies to lovers" (i.e., a type of plot). Maybe it's from reading 20 Master Plots as a kid, or from keeping a spreadsheet of romance novels for the last fourteen years, but if someone tells me "this is a revenge story" or "this is a marriage-of-convenience romance novel," I'm like, okay, yeah, I know the extremely bare bones of what this is. The problem is that I usually want more context to go with that very basic plot description. Why is it convenient for these characters to get married? What's their deal going in? What's the time period?

I'm sorry, but "Nobody Wants This" is not only nowhere remotely near being on the same level as "Fleabag", it's also just...not good in general, for a wide variety of reasons.

[rotzaprachim]

yeah that was definitely the best rom com i've seen in years

[lyxthen]

I like it when old people have romance plots in media. Divorced parent gets a new partner and their child loves them. Widow re-marries and finds happiness with their new spouse. Old gays finally able to have their dream wedding and live their lives openly. Elders finding love in a nursing home found-family style. Just. People older than 30 falling in love and having fulfilling relationships is what I mean. Because all I see ever is divorce plots and grief and loneliness because apparently you can only ever be happy and have fun as a teen/young adult. The moment you hit a certain age you stop being elegible for the role rom-com protagonist. It's a little discouraging tbh. I want to see that change.

I’m still trying to decide on what exactly I’m focusing on while writing my first book (which can either go nowhere or somewhere😭) but it’s so difficult

Cause I know it’s something I need to feel worth it to put in my energy.

Doing smth contemporary feels the easiest, but I also have drafts that are historical fiction or full on fantasy that I love, they’d just require a lot more work and research

if anyone wants to talk a lil about it with me that would be cool

something that I really liked about the movie was seeing book scenes from Henry’s pov. Like when he finds out that he was outed like in the book we obviously saw Alex’s side and it was as interesting to see things from Henry’s side as well as during the scene when Henry ghosts Alex for the 2nd time and in the movie it’s not us seeing Alex on the plane to go to London it’s us seeing Henry’s reaction to Alex being there I’m not that coherent right now as it’s super fucking late but yeah go watch if you haven’t it’s really fun

tragedy can be good, but not when it is out in there to be “”subversive”” and not because it makes sense in the story

I think we’re really mean to the word subversive. Being subversive is fine as long as you genuinely understand what you’re subverting and why you want to do that. Idk I think some people get really hung up on a ‘happy ending’ in some media where a tragic or bittersweet ending does actually fit the story 🤷🏼‍♀️

[pennewithmeatballs]

Idk I LOVED rwrb like I didn’t expect it to be too close to the book bc like 2 hours is not a very long time….I HAD A BLAST AND IT WAS FUN AND CUTE

[irascible-iridescent]

When ppl say that there is no stories about friendship I can't help but wonder what do they mean? There are lots and lots cartoons for kids and teens about well, friendship! Its the main point of almost all stories there. I don't like watching movies so I dunno if there are a lot of movies about friendship nowadays but I have watched old films about it. Like yeah it will always have some romance too for main characters or for the background characters bc if your story has like 10+ adult ppl most of them would look for relationship for the sake of building a family or sex. But also if you can excuse how the women are drawn you can just read/watch one piece and like NOBODY has any romance or sex there even though there are like billions of adult pirates.

That day, you made three mistakes. 

First: talking about your problems in public. Second: letting slip how desperate you were. Third (the gravest mistake): locking gazes with none other than Lee Jeno. 

He perked up when you yelled at Hwang Yeji, “I’ll have nowhere to go!” 

The moment the words were out, your wide eyes met his amused ones. Jeno quirked an eyebrow and smirked, walking over to the booth you and Yeji were seated at. 

“What’s this I hear about you needing a place to crash, Y/N?” he cooed, setting his cup of coffee on the table and sliding beside you. 

You glared at him, frowning when the bare skin of his arm brushed against yours. Shifting away, you snapped, “None of your damn business, Lee. Quit eavesdropping and get out of here.”  

Jeno’s smirk grew when he saw your discomfort. Throwing an arm around your shoulder, he pulled you against him. Your head smashed into his hard chest as he teased, “Now, now, is that how you treat your brother’s best friend?” 

You narrowed your eyes and craned your neck to look at him. “That’s how I treat an egotistical bastard who doesn’t know basic manners.” 

Jeno grinned at the insult, lightly bumping his forehead against yours. “You look so attractive right now.” 

Heat rose to your cheeks, and you shoved him away, cursing loudly. He laughed at your flustered state, his eyes turning into small crescent moons. 

This was Lee Jeno—a huge flirt who thought highly of himself due to the popularity he had gained as the star player of your university’s football team, and whose only personality trait was being ridiculously attractive.
