#tab romance

[importantkidspyfarm]

I read Credence, and as per usual, y'all doing too much. Every review I've seen is all, "this is the worst book ever," "Penelope needs jail," etc. Calm down, Prude-ence, you can un-clutch the pearls. It's a taboo romance, you knew that going in.

Every booktuber thumbnail is so egregious. Booktok does the most when making this book seem so far out. Maybe it's me. Am I disturbed?

No. I'm not because I think some of you dark romance broads are fucking nuts. I'm all fine with a little grey area romance but that dark romance shit goes way to fucking far.

Spoilers

They aren't related, at all, they aren't even family in the sense that she grew up with them. I don't like that she's 17 in the beginning, just make her grown, especially because Jake being Tiernan's "legal guardian" never becomes a part of the story. Have him reach out after the deaths, and she goes to Colorado to get away from prying gossip rags.

My main complaint is that it is too fucking long AND vanilla. I was expecting more freakiness. They mention spanking and ropes, Douglas mentions strung up deers in the garage like eight times. Not once is Tiernan is strung up like one. Five hundred pages get the fuck out of here. Like what are we doing?

Second complaint, Kaleb sucks. I could not believe he was the one. Not even because of the way they first met which was fucked up but also kind of hot, so whatever. But he just never gets past that. And he's just really mean to her. I can accept a lot in a taboo romance, but the love interest being mean to the lead is not one of them. There's a way to make him aggressive and stand offish without making him an asshole.

Also, l could not get past this big ass custom-built manse only has ONE bathroom. One! For a tri-level "cabin." That pissed me off so bad. A house this big should have at least two full bathrooms and one or two half baths. Jake's master should have an en-suite. The 2nd level hallway should have one full bath for the rest of the rooms to share.

The first level should have a half bath. Kalebs's room is a toss-up. It could have either or neither. It depends on if the original intention was storage. But I'm guessing it was always meant to be his room since no one ever mentions him having a bedroom on the second floor. So he should at least have a half-bath.

That irked me so much. Any time it was mentioned because that is just so poorly thought about. Honestly, they should have an outdoor or a bare bones garage shower, too. They are hunters. That means blood and dirt. No one wants to track offal through their house.

for the word prompt: hanahaki, with lawlight

The first petal emerges with so little ceremony that nobody notices it except L. On screen the Yagami boy says, "Quite frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if Kira sees right through this."

The pink petal unfurls quietly in his hand.

L says, "Your son is clever, isn't he?"

-

The flowers come out wet. It's an ungraceful affair, but at least they're small.

When they're whole, the petals coil around in neat spirals. Sometimes they're buds, but usually they're just individual petals. There's a strength of emotion in what L feels, but yearning feels as much the wrong description as unrequited.

The flowers don't hurt, and after a while, they stop altogether.

On screen, Light Yagami blinks. He looks tired.

"Ryuzaki," he says. "What's it going to take for you to believe that I'm not Kira?"

Without turning the microphone on, L coughs once and expels nothing but air. Light stares beseechingly up at the camera for another long moment before he slumps.

-

L's throat stays clear until Higuchi seizes and collapses in the Chief's arms. Then, it isn't a petal at all. Light's shoulders are still heaving when L starts to cough. By the time he's spat up the irritant--one single yellow stamen--into his palm, Light's eyes are fixed blankly on the middle distance.

"Ryuzaki," he says quietly. Calmly, coolly, like he wasn't screaming himself hoarse only a second ago. "I want to check this out."

L coughs again.

-

The last petal emerges later, but it disappears into Light's palm, and L doesn't know anything after that.

All dark romances are taboo but all taboo romances are not dark.

There's a difference.

gosh this is a very gay aren ramble beware. for once it isn't about luchinini (it starts odd with like. a hc and then descends into nortorphrick hell)

ok so. to keep track of who went in and out of mineshafts miners would have a board set up. as well as the mining tag system. each miner had an identification tag. when in the mines you put your tag on the board and when you leave you take it off. subtle headcanon that norton, even after leaving the mines, keeps his mining tag in his pocket.

now for the faggoty part. are you ready.

it was taken as a good luck charm if you you kissed the miners tag before they went down. surely you see where I'm going w/this.

I actually wanted to make a mini comic of this. It was nortrick central but I wanted nudge orph in there too....id hope it is a little clear how much i enjoy theirstrange dynamic by now..... nortorphrick save me....

I think nortorphrick is peak because

nortpheus = understanding on a level that is almost scary. not even almost. just is scary. especially for norton (albeit Orpheus is a bit offput too. it's not everyday someone matches his freak). you would be scared if you resonated with Horror Twink on a personal level. you would.

nortrick = don't understand each other at all (largely different backgrounds, thought processes, etc etc) but gradually (VERY gradually) begin to... and are wildly fascinated with the person they find beneath it all. they can even empathize with eachother on a few certain fronts. gosh. I can't elaborate on this very well but I also love the nortrick dynamic a lot. Urg

orphrick = one sided understanding. orpheus sees him on a scale nobody ever has before. and (similarly to norton) it frightens him. but also. after feeling like all you are is a pretty face and no talent. it doesn't hurt to have someone hear you. (infact he goes to some strange places menatlly trying to get some more of that validation)

they're just so. BEAHHH. I am so insane for nortorphrick. it would be fun to write something for them I think. just something quick and easy. Orpheus endlessly confuses them both with his peculiar whims and infatuations and CRAZY plethora of problems.

is there a my chem community thingy on tumblr??

[mrs-luigi-vargas]

i'm sure this has already been talked about before, but one bowuigi thing that i was thinking about the other morning was the idea of Luigi moving into Bowser's Castle, and then finding himself missing Mario a lot as the weeks went by (because it'd just been the two of them sharing one tiny house for the longest, and they're a bit codependent, tbh)

So what does Bowser do about his bf moping around in the halls about not having seen his brother for a while? Kidnap Princess Peach, of course! Because, as you know, Mario always comes to save her, so once he's taken her back to the castle all they have to do is wait. And as a bonus, Luigi gets to hang out with Peach, too!

Luigi appreciates the gesture, but also: did he really have to mobilize the entire army for this? It would have been far easier to like. Send a letter containing a vaguely polite request. Or a messenger. Or wait till the next Party/sports tournament/kart racing event, even???

It's not like Luigi was doing anything about his homesickness, Bowser retorts, with how he was too busy worrying about inconveniencing his friends with his feelings to take any steps to remedy them. And besides, what else was he supposed to use all these new airships for? A taxi service?

(and anyway, Bowser is 300% willing to mobilize his army a thousand times over if doing so led to a chance for Luigi to be happy. But maaaybe he'll keep that sentiment to himself for now. Save it for when he could fully appreciate Luigi blushing hard enough to rival the carpet's crimson tones.)

JULI DIDNT DESERVE WHAT HAPPENED TO HER I HATE YOU PADRE CAMORRA 👺👺👺

[mermaidsirennikita]

hello! not a rec ask but i saw someone ask for recs where the heroine is disabled. i just want to say i'm a disabled writer (wheelchair user) and i'm working on it! it being a historical romance!

Hey! Thank you for sending me this. I am so excited! Please feel free to message me privately on here or my insta if you have any updates about it, I'd love to hear more.

Sincerely, and it's not on me to say what should or shouldn't be the limits with regards to the flaws re: ownvoices as a concept, etc (I can only speak from my spaces on things like bipolar disorder, ADHD, some other stuff), but I as a reader will always prioritize diverse rep written from the perspective of people from those communities. It's important, and I'm really excited to see writers going for it.
