what do u think the seduce me boys' fav kinks & positions are? — 🍗

Hey there, since I'm working on a post about their favorite positions already, I'll just answer the question about her kinks here. Keep in mind that this is my personal opinion and not everyone may agree to my choice.

Warning: smut – Minors DNI

-I don't own the game or the characters-

James:

James is definitely into bondage and light bdsm. He loves to be in control and lives this out in his sex life. He particularly likes to restrain his partner, be it with a tie, a scarf or something similar. Having such power over the other, seeing them whimper and fall apart beneath him turns him on. For him, this also means that his partner trusts him. That they submit to him in the bedroom, even if the person is otherwise rather confident. Contrary to some beliefs, he doesn't have a daddy kink. Neither brother is turned on by being called daddy - after all, their association with the topic of father is beyond bad, so they can't find this kink arousing even apart from their memories.

Erik:

When it comes to sex, Erik has a sort of voice kink and also a penchant for edging. It turns him on to hear his partner moan and whimper. Knowing that he's the one who can get them into that kind of ecstasy and elicit every little sound of pleasure from them gives him satisfaction. Always keen to give his partner maximum pleasure, heavy breathing and moans are confirmation that he's doing everything right. When it comes to himself, he likes edging. He likes it when his partner edges him and he experiences the climax much more intensely after a few times. Through his past, he has a lot of experience in the sexual field and has tried many things. For this reason, edging is perfect for him, because he experiences his own orgasm stronger, deeper and more intense because he longed for it.

Sam:

Sam tends to have a light breeding kink, albeit unconsciously and he is really fond of outdoor sex. His breeding kink is not very strong, but he is very proud of his maternal lineage, proud of being a demon and even if he is not very aware of it himself, he would like to continue his legacy at some point. Outwardly, he just likes to cum inside his partner and to fill them to the brim. Sam doesn't really realize that the idea of having an heir is simmering under the facade. However, he himself is well aware that he has a strong fondness for having sex outdoors. He likes the adrenaline and the thrill that builds up because there is a risk of getting caught. This is all the more surprising since he doesn't like audience at all and sex is something very personal for him.

Matthew:

It probably won't surprise anyone, but Matthew has a roleplay kink (Kitty Play) in which he takes the dominant part. There is also the tendencies of a breeding kink in him, which he is quite aware of, in contrast to his brother. His roleplay kink conveys a certain playfulness and lightness, he immerses himself in his roles and manages to embody them perfectly without losing sight of the lust and pleasure of him and his partner. When his partner wants to get him lose his cool, leaning in and purring in his ear is often enough. However, they should never do this in public because when Matthew is feeling edgy he tends to get really rough. However, like his other brothers, he would never actually hurt or harm his partner. He likes to cum deep inside his partner and the thought of carrying on his legacy usually makes him want to go for a second round right away.

Damien:

Damien definitely has a slight praise kink. Unfortunately, his ability to read minds also plays a part in his kinks. Since he always heard the thoughts of the other demons around him in the castle, he developed a penchant for voyeurism. However, it's a slightly different form of voyeurism for him, as it manifests itself as turning him on when he hears his partner's sexual fantasies and ideas in their mind. A bonus point is when his partner masturbates in front of him while thinking about sexual adventures they wants to have with him. After a few minutes he will definitely do more than just watch and as far as he can he will make their fantasies come true. When they have dirty thoughts about him in public, he quickly blushes and suddenly feels an urgent need to get home as soon as possible. When his partner praises him and brags about how good he is in bed, it will push his libido to new heights.

season six spuffy is also nuts bc spike is clearly like. please just tell me i’m good and let me sit at your feet on the off chance you want to give me scraps and buffy WANTS to hold his leash (and yank on it) and she wants him to bite her hand so she has an excuse to hit him except. that sort of urge would upend the status quo (not just in their relationship but again, the bedrock the slayer/vampire dynamic is built upon) so instead spike has to play the corrupting influence to buffy’s reluctant and seduced white knight and it doesn’t fit either of them anymore!!!!!!!! spike says “you belong here in the shadows with me” but it sounds like “i accept you for all that you are and nothing in the dark could resist you” spike says “stop me” but it sounds like “tell me what you want” spike says “look at your friends and tell me you don’t like getting away with this” and it sounds like “isn’t this fun isn’t this worth Being Alive”

I wear lightning-shaped earrings and they really remind me of Sebek!⚡ I would like your girl to put them on and draw this🥺💓

But I also really love her black earrings that she wears when she's a teenager and green ones when she's an adult! It's really cute💕💕

And! I would be interested to know if Sebek notices when Yuu puts on other earrings or doesn't wear them at all if she doesn't want to?👉👈💗

Have a nice day!🥰❣️❣️❣️

Clare is mischaracterized a lot lowkey because I think people love Clare for being an anxious lesbian so much that they instinctively craft a more palatable version of that trait onto her and it’s a shame because Clare is a fascinating little beastie. She is childhood friends with the likes of Erin and Michelle for a reason after all. She is arguably just as selfish as Erin /affectionate and just as impulsive as Michelle /affectionate it just is formed around the insane molten hot anxiety disorder inside her little lesbian brain. She thinks she’s better than them when in reality she is just as bad.

I’d argue she stays selfish /affectionate longer than Erin does. Until the final two episodes I fully believe Clare would have sold any of them up the river for a corn chip if that corn chip would save her skin. It’s often said that Clare and James hold the single brain cell but I think the truth is likely that Orla holds it and they just forgot to use it or hand it to someone cause they were going ham on a bag of sweets.

If you hate Erin for her selfish traits and just kinda forget that Clare is just as bad then idk what to tell you they’re birds of a feather.

Hi, could I request headcanons of the Anderson brothers accidentally or purposely revealing their true form to someone they're reaaally close too for the first time and instead of being scared they're awestruck and ask to touch their horns cause they find their horns pretty. Ignoring the fact they're probably naked lol -🐇

Hey, I chose to have them reveal her true form by accident because I couldn't think of a situation where they would reveal their form without being in love or something.

-I don't own the game or the characters-

What happened previously:

The day had been stressful and yes, he had in mind that they wanted to come over. But he had forgotten that one of his brothers was also at home and would open the front door. He just wanted to relax for five minutes and give his true nature some space when the door opened and they stood in the room. He had expected panic, shouting and already preparing to stop them from escaping. Even the idea of erasing their memory of what they saw had crossed his mind. But instead they just stood there and stared at him. He would not have dreamed that a smile would finally spread across their face. "Wow, that's... wow..." they stammered and took a step towards him.

James:

He immediately apologizes. Not that he's ashamed of being a demon, or of his true form per se, he just doesn't think a human should see him that way. In his opinion, humans can't deal with something so unfamiliar. The fact that they ask him if they can touch his horns throws him off. Not that he shows it. Presumably he'll let his horns be touched and answer their questions, even though he's tense and not comfortable with the whole situation. He's most likely one of the brothers who cast a spell on the human afterward to make them forget they saw him like that. Some things just shouldn't be known by more people than absolutely necessary, whether he trusts them or not. Just a precaution.

Erik:

He is surprised and more than confused by the reaction. The element of surprise tempts him to quickly put on his usual mask to cover up his insecurity. Erik doesn't mind if they want to touch him. On the contrary. He'll even get a bit flirtatious and will encourage them to touch him as much as they want. Of course, he'll also answer questions, though he'll be more keen to let his true form speak for himself. Their disbelief and enthusiasm make him smile. However, he will presumably consult with his brothers, most notably James, about whether it is a wise decision for humans to know their true forms. And no matter how unfortunate he finds it, he also tends to rob them of the memories of that precious moment.

Sam:

Sam is a little overwhelmed at first. Unlike some of his brothers, he's not worried about them running away, he just knows he's way faster. He takes great pride in his true form and makes no secret of it. But he doesn't like the fact that they want to touch him at all. He will probably only let himself be touched if the person really has a lot of persuasive skills. And even then, he doesn't like it very much. After all, he is not an animal in a petting zoo, although the touch of his horns is quite pleasant. Whether he comes up with the idea of undoing what happened depends on how much he trusts the person. If he has the slightest doubt that they might accidentally reveal something, he will adjust to his older brothers' handling. With him, however, there is also a chance that he lets the person live with the knowledge, no matter what his brothers say about it.

Matthew:

He catches himself much faster than most of his brothers. Matthew doesn't mind the person seeing him that way, nor is he particularly uncomfortable with it. He tries to downplay the situation a bit, though, although he's clearly comfortable with them making such a fuss about his true form. Like Erik, he has no problem with being touched, although he won't encourage them further. Rather a self-protection, because it would be far too easy to withdraw energy in this situation and he really doesn't want that now. He would also answer questions and feels quite pleasant in the role of the one who explains it. Like Sam, it depends on the relationship of trust whether he acts afterwards or not, although he is more likely to be persuaded by James than his brother.

Damien:

Instant regret. Damien is shocked and more than uncomfortable that the person surprised him so much. It helps that he hears all the positive comments and thoughts in their mind, but he has a sinking feeling in his stomach that he can't shake. He probably wouldn't let himself be touched and instead would explain why he didn't want it. Damien is having trouble accepting that his true form is receiving such positive attention and will likely end the encounter as soon as he can. He will also most likely bring a spell into play to finally clarify this situation. He came to the human world to leave his life as a demon behind. Only when love is involved would Damien show his true form, and then only when the person realizes the pain involved.

[barely-coherent]

"I'll let you hit if you win me _____ from a crane game."

James

"Don't phrase it like that but I can try."

Buddy swipes the card like 5 times

You don't know why he's so determined to get that figure for you

Until he finally gets it and you smile really wide

You see him just smile softly while you hold it but there's this look in his eyes

"I expect you to keep your promise."

Erik

"You'll let me regardless but it seems fun."

You ignore the first part and just watch as he gets it in like 3 or 4 tries

It drops into the bin and he just watches as you grab it, laughing at your excited face

You probably don't let him put it in a bag, you carry it around the whole time

He does remind you every now and then "Remember what you promised me?"

Fucking pain in the ass (literally, if you're into that)

But y'know what, fuck it, we ball

That's king shit

Sam

You don't say that in the first place

You ask him to try

When he actually succeeds though

"Y'know what, just for that, I'm letting you hit."

He immediately turns bright red and covers your mouth

He's like sputtering and just "DONT SAY THAT OUTLOUD!"

Probably blushes for a while after that

But he holds you to that

Matthew

He blushes and just looks at you for a little

"I- uh. Sure, I'm great at crane games!"

Ignores you while he's blushing but gets it in like 1 or 2 tries

It falls and he cheers for you

Literally "Woohoo! Alright!"

And then as you grab it, just "I wasn't lying, that was an incentive"

And he just blushes harder

Just thinks about it occasionally as you guys spend all day at the arcade

Everytime he looks at what he won fir you, he blushes

It's pretty cute

Damien

First of all

Tumblr please I just want a funky black text option that isn't boring

ANYWAY

Does not know what to say

It takes him a second before he's like "You can't say that in public!"

But you read him the controls and he just nods

It takes him a couple tries but he got it

You kiss his cheek and assure him that even if he didn't get it you'd let him hit

He's a blushing mess though like "We're in public!"

[redo-rewind-if]

Honestly, I can’t stop thinking of past V judging present V for getting with mc.

The “you didn’t, they’re our employee” and following flustered V was delicious.

I’m also laughing because I 1000% am having my mc seduce the pants off of V, and I could just imagine V being like, “I was seduced!” And past V being even more disappointed/shocked because power dynamic wise they do have the upper hand and why does this sound like an excuse?

Only for past V to eventually come up against said seduction to just be like:

“Shit”

Oh yeah, for sure. The moment V realizes their feelings for MC is going to be *chef's kiss* *:･ﾟ✧a disaster*:･ﾟ✧. "Shit" is about right lol.

The start of V's romance is basically them speedrunning the 7 stages of grief just to come to terms with the fact that, yeah, they might be a little in love with their employee. Whoops.

[sweet-self-indulgence]

How do you think each incubus tries to let Mika know when they're in the mood?

James will find some excuse to tower over her

Pinning her against a wall or sliding up behind her are his go-to’s

He’ll pitch his voice low and tell her how she makes him feel

“Seeing you in the dress does incredible things to me”

If Mika seems to take the bait, he tends to add something like: “If you keep looking at me like that I don’t know if I can control myself”

Both of them want him to lose control, but teetering close to the edge is a thrill

Erik will whisper in her ear

To an untrained observer it may seem like his normal mode of playful flirting

But Mika knows that mixtures of the playful spark of arousal in his eyes and the complete earnestness in his face

Then he’ll lean in close to whisper sweet nothings in her ear

His favorite formula is compliment followed by sexual twist

“Your figure looks absolutely stunning in that dress… but you would look even better without it~”

He knows how Mika loves the way his whisper gives her goosebumps

Sam gets handsy

It’s subtle since he’s always casually touching Mika anyways

There’s something in the speed of a caress that changes its meaning:

A slow warm hand is comforting

A faster touch is casual, a way of physically acknowledging her presence

But there’s a specific kind of touch that lights Mika’s nerves on fire

If he softly trails his fingers down her side Mika gets turned on

If he touches her neck or collarbone he’d better be prepared to fuck on the spot

In a similar vein he’s not the best at compliments, but he has a way of saying “Wow” when he looks at Mika, like he’s absolutely star-struck

Matthew will turn up the heat of a kiss

He gives Mika a thousand little kisses a day, most of them are casual

but he’s very good at putting a little extra something in a kiss to change the mood

A ‘thank-you-for-getting-that-chore-done’ kiss suddenly has heat stirring in Mika’s stomach

Suddenly she’s standing in the middle of the room turned on and completely flustered

Maybe Matthew is smiling innocently at her, gauging her reaction

Or maybe she has to go find where he ran off to in order to continue the game

Damein will ask for affection

He might make a more casual interaction romantic by placing Mika’s hand on his cheek and staring into her eyes

Guaranteed to get her heart to flutter a little bit

He may also walk up to her, grab her hands in his and quietly, yet earnestly, declare “Beloved, I crave your touch”

This will make Mika blush

She’ll start with a hug, then he’ll gently pull her into a kiss with one hand cradling the base of her skull and the other on the small of her back

Quickly, one of them is pulling the other into a more private space

Anakin as Obi-Wan's Campaign Manager?? Say more right now please!

correction - anakin (19yo) as obi-wan (35yo)'s nonconsensual campaign manager

here's a bit more! all just set up, i have no idea what i want out of this fic yet word-count wise. structure wise. etc.

The Kenobi thing happens accidentally, honestly. Anakin isn’t even sure how he got into it, but at the end of September, Padmé had mentioned how formative canvassing had been to her own political outlook, how impactful it had been to help out on a campaign, and Anakin had thought—that’s it. I can do that, and then she'll see we have things in common and then she'll fall in love with me. And that night, he’d gone to his apartment and researched upcoming local elections. He’d found the list of people running for the city council, and he’d chosen one at a random. Obi-Wan Kenobi was thirty-five and up for re-election. He’d first been elected four years ago, at thirty-one, one of the youngest city councilmen in the history of Coruscant, running—as far as Anakin could tell—on the issue of city infrastructure and misuse and diversion of funds away from public goods like pothole-less roads to drive on. Even just reading the summary on the guy’s past campaign had been boring as hell, but he’d won, is the thing. He’d won, which means he has a good shot of winning it again, which would make it incredibly easy to help him along. Not many people vote in city council elections—fact. Not many people vote for names they don’t recognize, and they have a higher chance of recognizing an incumbent’s name over a challenger’s—fact. It’s only impressive to canvas for a campaign if the guy you’re canvassing for is elected—fact. So Obi-Wan Kenobi was a safe choice. A stellar choice. Anakin hit the books that weekend, printed out a bunch of blurbs on what the guy’s done—apparently it’s been mostly advocating for filling in potholes on what Anakin would bet his tuition money on is the guy’s commute to work—and hit the streets to drum up support for him. The election is in the middle of November, and today is October 2nd. Half the doors Anakin knocks on remain unopened, a fourth are closed in his face, and the remaining percentage are either not registered to vote or seem lukewarm to the idea of voting in a city council election at all. Three different elderly ladies have asked him if Kenobi is running for president. Hell, next time he’s just going to say yes. —--------- But Ahsoka isn’t wrong. Anakin hates to admit it, but he knows he has to. She’s not wrong. Something needs to change in his strategy because he’s not getting the numbers he needs. Honestly, this whole adventure has made him lose faith in the effectiveness of democracy. Maybe dictatorships aren’t so bad. It’s not like these people are voting anyway. He’s smart enough to keep this observation to himself, of course, but he wonders what could have been so eye-opening about Padmé’s time canvassing when Anakin’s having a hard enough time making this whole thing door-opening.

which just adds to all of it

[miraculouslbcnreactions]

Since Miraculous Ladybug is becoming for more mature audiences it should split povs between Marinette and Adrien. Its upsetting how Adrien has such a main character backstory yet he's not apart of it or a major character in the show even though he feels like it. It feels like he should be Marinette's costar but he's treated as some guy most of the time. I get that Marinette's the main character but still Adrien feels so wasted on. Honestly he kinda reminds me of Steven Universe. Dead mom, complex with not being entirely human, well meaning but absent dad(Gabriel's hearts was in the right place but just went down hill). Like when Adrien finds out about the whole sentimonster thing imagine the identity crisis he's gonna have. I also wonder what they're gonna do with Emilie. She's not dead anymore and she was the driving force for why Gabriel did what he did. I wonder if she's gonna be a good mom or if the fan theories are right and she's just as bad if not worse then Gabriel. Rose haunted the narrative because she was so important if it wasn't for her and her actions we probably wouldn't even have Steven Universe or the many momswap aus. But after Gabriel got all the Miraculouses Emilie felt kinda of forgotten and last minute when she was talked about.

Are there any other shows that you sometimes compare Miraculous too?

I don't think that Miraculous is aiming at more mature audiences now unless there was some announcement that I missed? If anything, I'm expecting season six to tone things back down because I'm guessing that it's going to be a soft reboot. New main villain, new animation style, new school, the signs are all there.

Shows rarely ever change their target audience like that. It's just too risky a move. You have to redo the marketing and somehow convey to parents that the show is no longer safe for their child as it's aimed at teens now. But anyone who wants a more serious show for teens isn't going to want to sit through the first five seasons which were not written like a serious show for teens, so the audience for this would be the small subsection of viewers who want to watch their childhood favorite get more serious.

While that's certainly a demographic, it's not the massive one you get when you stick to anyone ages five-and-up. Since five-and-up is also where the toy sales are and Miraculous has a lot of tie-in toys, it would be pretty wild if they abandoned that demographic at this point. I dug up an old tweet that I remembered seeing to give my warning some extra backing. For full context, this was in reply to a tweet asking if the writers consider the teen audience when writing the show:

[Image description: a tweet from the show's head writer reading "they are not the primary audience. The main target is kids 5 to 12 max. It doesn't mean we don't consider older audiences. But it means that whatever we write must not leave the kids behind."]

This tweet is admittedly over two years old and anything is technically possible, but I would strongly caution you against having expectations for more serious content unless you know something that I don't. The show was originally sold as to investors, distributors, and so on as a kids show and, unless they were able to renegotiate those agreements, it's going to stay a kids show.

I'd also caution you against assuming that Emilie is alive. I thought that was where the show went, too, but statements from the writers have made it pretty clear that Emilie is well and truly dead, which further supports my soft reboot theory. Bringing her back means a stronger tie to the previous seasons and you don't want that for a soft reboot.

Please don't read this as me praising that writing choice! I think it was stupid as hell to magically bring back Nathalie while killing off Emilie. They were both dying and only one of them is a domestic terrorist who actively chose death by knowingly using the broken Miraculous. The other is a Good And Pure Soul Who Was Too Perfect For This Cruel World (or, at least, that's what the show seems to want us to think). Plus, if you're going to use the wish, do something big! Change the status quo! But that's not how formula shows work so they probably couldn't do that.

Quick side note: this is my best guess as to why the leaked scripts indicated that Emilie was going to come back when season five ended the show. Series finales are usually allowed include elements that would ruin the formula if the show continued because the show isn't continuing. Season finales are not allowed to do that because the next season needs to stick to the same formula. When season five went from end-of-show to a mere end-of-season, that probably signed Emilie's death warrant. Sorry Adrien, no happy ending for you! Hope you like being an orphan!

Moving on!

In my opinion, it feels like they only used the wish to let Gabriel die and get rid of Emilie without it being too traumatic for the indented audience, but it's still basically a murder suicide being treated as a happy ending which is wild! At least it was a pretty one where the murderer and his victim ascended into the light?

We admittedly might see larger impacts from the wish next season as we don't explicitly know what the wish was, but have they ever let a season finale lead to something interesting? Not really, so I don't see why that would change now. I'm not even sure if Adrien's sentistatus is going to come up again. It should, but it may also just fizzle out because the writers don't know how to deal with it. The sentimonster thing is not the kind of plot point that you can handle in 20 minutes, especially when you have to include some sort of akuma fight, too. Bringing up the sentistuff would also complicate a soft reboot so, yeah, I have no idea if they're ever going to touch it again.

As far as recs for shows like Miraculous go, I'm afraid that you'll have to be a little more specific about what you're looking for because Miraculous is trying and failing to be a lot of things. If you want a duo show with a lot of banter, a badass female lead, and a goofy-but-narratively-important male lead, then I'd point to Kim Possible. If you want a team show with romantic undertones, then Teen Titans is a good pick. If you want identity shenanigans, magic, and romance, then American Dragon Jake Long might be worth checking out in spite of the very dated slang, though fair warning that one is enemies to lovers. It's done in a very fun way, but it's not a partner show like Miraculous kind of is and the romance is also not the main focus.

Part of the reason I was drawn to Miraculous is that shows about superheroes don't tend to have a strong romance element to them, so there aren't a ton of options for me to give you when it come to shows that fill a similar niche. However, if you're willing to go into the realms of fanfic, then you've got a wealth of options. Pretty much any property with secret identities will have fics about identity shenanigan romances. Love squares are nothing new. I've been reading them for years! I basically watched Twelfth Night when I was about eight and never looked back. Identity shenanigans or bust!

People will even bring them into fandoms that don't have any secret identities because identity shenanigans are really fun to play with! They make for some of the best romances. I'm sure that you can also find them in novels, but it's not something I've seen a lot of, so I mostly stick to fanfic for my identity shenanigan needs. That's where almost all my recs are from.

Should I do a fanfic plug to demonstrate what I mean? Yeah, why not. This baby deserves more readers and, if you like Miraculous, then you'll probably love this. (Seriously, if you read it, feel free to come talk to me about it. It's so good and also proof that I really am drawn to very specific tropes. What can I say other than I know what I like?)

We Didn't Start The Fire by ohhgingersnaps

Ava is all burned out, literally— she’s an exhausted JojaCo employee by daylight, and pyrokinetic superhero The Phoenix by moonlight, until she accidentally starts a fire at work and has to blame it on her superpowered alter-ego to avoid being discovered. The Phoenix is forced into early retirement, and with nothing else to lose, Ava moves to her grandfather’s old farm for a new start. Between restoring the farm, resolutely bottling all of her feelings, and trying to keep her powers under wraps, Ava has a lot on her plate. She’ll figure it out. Eventually. She hopes. Meanwhile, the hacker Memento, Phoenix’s good friend and confidant, is left to pick up the pieces alone after her sudden disappearance. He’s fully convinced that she didn’t start the fire, and he’s determined to discover the truth and clear her name... As long as he doesn’t fall for the pretty new farmer down the road, first. Part superhero AU, part mental health recovery arc, and part rom-com, topped with a generous serving of secret identity love square shenanigans, hurt/comfort, shameless flirting and banter, and dramatic irony.

I've mentioned before that I don't like OC main characters. Video games are the one exception to that rule. I'm really not big on reader inserts (no judgement, just personal preference), so when I read fanfic for a video game with a self-insert type main character, I'm looking to read about people's fully developed OCs, but I also want a good deal of the focus to be on the game's characters as they're the only reason I'm looking for stuff to read. That's what this fic is and I love it!

I also wouldn't normally rec fanfic for properties outside of Miraculous since this is specifically a Miraculous blog, but this is Stardew Valley fanfic, which is why I picked it over fic from other, more complex properties. If you don't know that game, it's a farming sim whose cast is developed enough for you to get attached to them, but who don't have a ton of depth, so you can read this sucker without having touched the game because there's no deep lore here. The game dev is apparently pretty open about the fact that he kept lots of things about the characters ambiguous so you could read things like their relationships and ages in whatever way makes you happy. Only prep work I might recommend is reading the character summaries from the game's wiki and you'd only need to do that for the named characters.

As I said above, fics like this are where I get my more-serious-story-with-identity-shenanigan-included itch scratched and are what I'd recommend looking for in either fanfic or original fiction form if that's what you like as TV shows just don't seem to have this kind of content, probably because TV shows often draw plot lines out to maximize views while novel-style stories generally have a clear end goal, which is why it can be hard for TV romances to feel satisfying. However, there are certainly a ton of TV shows that I haven't watched, so if anyone has recs for anon, then feel free to drop a comment or give this a reblog with your rec list.
