Someone who fancies themselves an expert on TikTok said “yearning” is dead in romance because of dual pov and we’re not supposed to hear from the MMC that much and I’ll tell you I about had a stroke. Stop punishing us cause you read people who can’t write.
Me, upon hearing that people on threads are calling 3rd person POV “misogynistic”

"Why are there romance specific bookstores everywhere? How big could the audience for this silly genre even be?"
It's 2025. I'm too old and tired for this shit. Enjoy being judgmental over yonder because I'm not wasting my time on any of that.

In case you were curious, all the laundry went smoothly today and clothes made it to the dryer properly 😂
Guess who just ran the dryer….Empty.
The clothes were still in the washer, finished and with the door left open. 🙃

this reminds me of the Bridgerton response and how people were so confused that the main characters *changed* after season one, like writing essays about why that was a bad choice
which seems like a logical thing to them, but an *insane* thing to say to anyone who understands genre romance.

but this? shut the fuck up. guess what, my man, gorgeous young 22 year olds like to fuck. And queer people deserve love stories that are sexy and horny. a "chaste kiss" please be for real.

if you need something to watch after binging Heated Rivalry, may I suggest Fire Island, one of my favorite rom-coms of the past few years?

“Hard to tell where it’s going”
A) There is a WHOLE ENTIRE BOOK that has been OUT FOR YEARS.
B) Having seen people call it a flaw when they find romance predictable, it’s pretty wild to see someone call it a flaw when they find romance UNpredictable. Make up your mind!

This is why non-romance people need to read more romance, honestly: will-they-won’t-they is fine but it is not the same narrative as “they did and then they did again and then they keep going but eventually someone’s gonna find out and then they’re REALLY fucked.”
