sometimes when I’m starting a pretty long m/f or m/m and I get fed up by how much a character sucks or how boring it is I skip 30-50 in to see if anyone’s eating shit. paid off in this bl because the love interest is getting dumped lol into the crematorium with you. this doesn’t usually apply to f/f because we don’t really get the crematorium in f/f

#orlbs #misclb #I don’t know if I’d like a crematorium f/f actually #there’s a kind of satisfaction in shitty male characters having to crawl across broken glass #because they sucked so so much and now have to deal with the consequences #and it’s not necessarily as satisfying to have a woman subjected to that narrative punishment #because the crematorium ML is kind of a stand in for every shitty abusive love interest that never got challenged #and there’s no emotional equivalent to female charsxters #catharsis is rooted to the story rather than societal/genre gripss #the only vindication is locked into the story rather than out of tgr stiry #oh god i have to pass out #also f/f doesn’t get long enough for the crematorium
