The sluttiest thing a hero can do is showing up at the villain's doorstep while they're hurt and saying, "I didn't know where else to go."

Wow. Here I thought they couldn't make Satan more shitty. Proving me wrong everytime I see his ass

You ugly creature, how could you say that??!! Poor Lucifer. If someone dares to hurt Lucifer, they have a problem with me 😤😡

I feel a factor that largely contributes to the lack of success for self published or ‘unconventional’ authors is the general readers' growing lack of appreciation for literature.

Most readers, and publishers for that matter, now only look at a book's tropes and marketability rather than the actual writing and plot. Tropes were created as something that would help us easily find the perfect read, and yet they've now become something that defines a book.

The saddest part is we've not only lost appreciation for good writing but developed an aversion to literary comprehension.

People now seek to completely cut down on description and 'painting a scene' or character development and jump straight into the action. Prose is now seen as 'boring filler chapters' while the fight--the chase, the action, are highlighted. It's like going to a museum and complaining about how old everything is.

We've become impatient, unappreciative readers who care little for the emotional nuances of a beautifully crafted scene.

The genre that is most heavily impacted by this is romance. Romance used to be such a beautiful, emotionally evocative genre and now it's just watered down to its trope. People use romance as a way to escape from reality and fantasise about fictional men, which is acceptable, sure, but by doing so they've completely forgotten how to appreciate a book and its story.

Have your dark brooding morally grey love interest but also consider what makes him so. Rather than seeking a venereal connection with the character, look for an emotional one with the book and its beautiful prose and writing.

This is also why readers nowadays often complain about 'mainstream' authors not being that talented. This isn't because there aren't any talented authors with beautifully crafted books out there, it's because you're so caught up in a book's tropes and popularity you fail to acknowledge its true beauty, because by doing so you would recognise there are many other, unappreciated, novels that deserve that platform.

hey i did a little redesign of my book cover because i didn’t like the way the blurb was written before… how do you like it now?

check out my book, THE SILVER BIRDS, if you’re into sapphic dark fantasy with witches, monsters, spooky deaths, and a whole cast of grey characters!

i know the app is literally called romance club but why can't people ever appreciate a good friendship 😭 like i promise they don't need to be fucking to deliver a compelling dynamic. think what you want ofc but seeing people ask for white boy 84 to be added as an li esp considering hsr's notoriety is... interesting for sure

I saw the Voice of God screenshots for that scene where Lane was mad at Kira, and it made me realize that one of the reasons HSR is such an amazing book is because both routes enhance Lane's already compelling character. The Whisper of the Devil path appears to focus more on her rage and stoic nature, which makes sense due to the literal inciting incident of the book. But on the Voice of God route? She doesn't want to hurt anyone. Poor Lane just wants to feel human again. She wants to know what it's like to feel loved unconditionally.

In this essay I will--
